Film and television drama writing assistant

Chapter 293 Hard Work and Ordinary

"Knowing how to write is considered a talent. For people of our generation, writing is all about being able to write?" Meng Donglai said modestly.

But this sentence is not wrong.

As long as this generation can complete high school, the basic writing skills have already been mastered.

If you can write an 800-word essay, you can write an 800 million-word novel as long as you have perseverance.

Don't you see that in the later stage of the TV series, Zhong Xiaoqin compiled her experience on the Internet and wrote it, and finally sold the copyright for millions of dollars.

Directly confer the gods in one book.

"It's easy for you to say, but writers are still a minority." Zhong Xiaoqin didn't believe this.

"If you define traditional writers as those who write a book at home and then make money through paper publishing, then there are not many, but now the times are different, and paper publishing is only a very small channel. There are a lot of publishing channels, so people who can write are no longer a minority group, and the difference is that they earn more and less.” Meng Donglai retorted.

Wang Manni was watching the heated conversation between the two, feeling more and more uncomfortable, and finally interrupted when the two started discussing Meng Donglai's article.

"Xiaoqin, let's go shopping."

"Now?" Zhong Xiaoqin looked at the sky outside. The afternoon sun was fierce.

"It's okay to go shopping in the mall." Wang Manni continued to invite.

In the end, Zhong Xiaoqin couldn't stand the obsession of her new best friend, and left Meng Donglai's rental house with her.

But before leaving, Zhong Xiaoqin asked Meng Donglai for all his self-media accounts, saying that he planned to take a good look after he went back, and made an appointment to take his pet cat to Meng Donglai's home for stray animals next weekend to play.

This girl really loves to play, and she wants to try new and interesting things.

Compared with Chen Yu's personality, the two are simply polarized. If they get along well, they complement each other, but if they don't get along well, they are contradictory.

In the evening, Wang Manni came back to find Meng Donglai alone.

The two sat down and began to chat about the European cruise trip in detail.

"You really don't want to go along?"

"I won't go, it's too far away." Meng Donglai shook his head with a firm attitude.

"Aren't you worried about me?" Wang Manni asked.

"There's nothing to worry about. The whole cruise, going ashore means going shopping, and you still have to go back to the cruise ship to sleep at night. This is the safest way to travel." Meng Donglai replied with a smile.

Wang Manni was a little angry.

You would rather spend 10,000+ on clothes than spend money to hang out with her.

"That's fine, I'll go by myself this time, don't say I didn't give you a chance." The chat was not speculative, Wang Manni stood up and was about to leave.

"Sleep here tonight." Meng Donglai invited.

"No, I have to go to work tomorrow, so I have to go back and get ready."

It seems that Meng Dong came to this room and was rejected again.

While watching the TV series, Meng Donglai specially analyzed this woman.

In essence, he is an ordinary social animal, just like the general public, but he has some advantages in appearance compared to ordinary female white-collar workers.

Regarding the emotional line with Liang Zhengxian, Meng Donglai looked confused at that time. He was able to rush over and sacrifice himself after being given something and a room card with just a few words.

This shows that Wang Manni has actually lost her soul during these years of wandering in big cities.

Liang Zhengxian is indeed excellent, but she didn't want to see if he had a ring on his hand after sleeping with him, which meant that she had put aside the moral concepts of right and wrong while sleeping.

That is to say, Liang Zhengxian, the Neptune's scum, is thorough. In order to be able to play more and insist on not marrying, her definition of "little three" is not clear enough.

But if it is assumed that Liang Zhengxian is married, then does Wang Manni's behavior belong to the absolute "little three"?
When some women watch this TV series, they may think that this situation is understandable. A person who left his hometown and wandered outside, experienced the process of being wronged by colleagues and teased by guests, and became extremely lonely in his heart.

When she came to the boat, she was already physically and mentally exhausted, but at this time someone appeared, cared for her, and took it as a life-saving straw, and wanted to catch him. She was very restrained when she was on the boat , originally thought that in this way, they could forget about each other.

As a result, she underestimated Neptune's means. Neptune just used some means at will, which moved her, and went forward to dedicate her life without thinking about herself. All of this was just because she felt that she was tired and wanted to stop and find someone to rely on.

But is moving really love?

Has she ever thought about what love is?

Is love really achieved by surprises and emotions?

But what about after the calm down?what else?
This kind of love that is combined without considering the conditions of the two parties, the three views, and without a full understanding, is it possible for him to be reliable?

How is the result?It didn't take long to reveal its hideous appearance.

So Wang Manni's ending with Liang Zhengxian is already doomed.

She is destined to be played with.

All of this is because: her three views are not correct.

After going to work the next day, Meng Donglai had nothing to do and came to Grand Hyatt Mansion to clean up his home in this world.

The efficiency of using space for handling is not generally high.

The decoration workers did not invite outsiders, and all used enhanced clones and omnics, which further improved efficiency.

In order to establish a good initial impression on Gu Jia, Meng Donglai prepared some homemade candies and placed them at the elevator entrances on each floor, and wrote a letter of apology by himself, saying that he was sorry for disturbing the neighbors due to his decoration, and he would choose Construction during the day and so on.

The effect was really good. During the construction in the afternoon, neighbors kept coming up to visit and chat with Meng Donglai.

These wealthy people really don't miss any opportunity to expand their network.

Gu Jia also came and brought some snacks with her children.

"May I ask, where did you buy these candies? My child liked it very much after eating it. I thought I could buy some for him." Gu Jia asked after chatting for a few words.

"I made this all myself. If you need it, I still have some left over at home. I'll send it to you tomorrow." Meng Dong replied back and forth.

In fact, he had already written in his apology letter, "These homemade candies are given to everyone as an apology," but Gu Jia obviously didn't believe it.

Those candies are just too delicate.

"You really did it yourself, your skills are really amazing." Gu Jia praised.

"Purely a hobby."

"Since it is homemade, there is no need. Too much sugar is not good for children's teeth."

"Okay." Meng Donglai didn't say much, appearing very polite.

"Then I won't bother you."

"Walk slowly."

Seeing Gu Jia away, Xu Ziyan was obviously reluctant to part with him, probably because he was still thinking about the delicious food he had tasted before.

Meng Donglai waved to him: "Little friend, if you want to eat, come to Uncle's house to play. There are a lot of delicious food here."

"Can you?" Xu Ziyan stopped, dragging Gu Jia to a stop.

"Of course, our house not only has delicious food, but also a lot of interesting things. When the decoration is completed, you will come to visit us." Meng Donglai replied with a smile.

Xu Ziyan looked at Gu Jia with expectation in his eyes.

"Thank you uncle, I will bring you over when uncle finishes the decoration."

"Thank you uncle."

"So nice."

Gu Jia didn't check Meng Donglai's details at the property, so he must have bought this place because he thought he could decorate. This duplex is much more expensive than the small apartment in the middle of their house. If you are so rich, you should pay more. Friends are not a bad thing.

In the past few days, the owners on the roof of Meng Donglai's building seldom come here. They probably know that Meng Donglai is renting a house, and they belong to the kind of crazy people who burn out when they have money.

On this day, Mrs. Wang took Gu Jia to a gathering of rich women.

Gu Jia discovered that Mrs. Wang, who was already beyond reach in her eyes, was also an ordinary person in the eyes of these rich women.

These rich women are all people who are either rich or expensive.

And Gu Jia noticed that the bags of these rich women were jaw-droppingly expensive luxury goods.

Through secret observation, she also discovered that the husbands of these rich women are all elites in all walks of life.

The rich wives are all soliciting business for their husbands while talking and laughing.

During the chat, Gu Jia knew that he and his wife and husband were engaged in amusement parks. There were several of them across the country, and each entertainment city held a firework show every year, so she took the initiative to add Mrs. Yu's WeChat account.

At the end of the party, all the rich women proposed to take a group photo. The rich women consciously held their bags in their hands to take pictures, but Gu Jia's own bag seemed too cheap in it, so she hid it behind her.

When Gu Jia went home to look at Moments, she realized that she was not in the group photo at all, and she was cut off by others.

In order to be able to integrate into this circle of wives, Gu Jia wanted to buy a luxury bag. She called Zhong Xiaoqin and asked her if she knew any luxury sales, because Zhong Xiaoqin works in the property marketing department and often meets with luxury goods in shopping malls. shop deal.

Zhong Xiaoqin thought of her new best friend Wang Manni, so she invited Wang Manni to Gu Jia's house.

Gu Jia told Wang Manni that she wanted a luxury bag. She said that she was in a hurry and she needed this bag as a stepping stone.

Wang Manni thought about it, and considering Zhong Xiaoqin's help to her last time, she called and asked for help from an old colleague, Sister Lin, who sold the brand Gu Jia wanted. Promised to help Wang Manni get this bag as soon as possible.

The fates of the three women are finally intertwined.

Meng Donglai, who was secretly observing, also breathed a sigh of relief.

From this moment on, he could finally intervene in their lives more forcefully.

In the evening, Meng Dong came to treat Wang Manni to dinner, which he cooked at home.

Wang Manni was a little careless when eating.

"What's the matter? Are you under pressure at work?" Meng Donglai asked concerned.

"No, I just feel that the fate of people is really very different." Wang Manni replied.

"What's wrong? Who provoked you today?" Meng Donglai asked with a smile.

"Today Xiaoqin took me to meet a good friend of hers, do you know that he bought a house and lived in Grand Hyatt Mansion before he was 30 years old." Wang Manni's eyes were full of envy: "It was only after we chatted that I found out that this is Gu Jia In fact, she had no money in the past, and her family situation was not good, but she relied on her own efforts to start a company, start a business, and earn money to buy a house in Grand Hyatt Mansion."

"That's quite powerful." Meng Dong said back and forth.

"Not only is it amazing, compared with others, I feel that the ability and hard work I was proud of before are really nothing." Wang Manni said that she was a little frustrated here.

"You can't underestimate yourself. Since ancient times, there has been a huge gap between people, and you are already very good." Meng Donglai comforted: "In this world, there are many people who are better than the Gu Jia you mentioned." Now, there are many outstanding people without you. The most important thing in a person's life is to find the right position, otherwise it will be very tiring."

"What? How can anyone position themselves? Look at those successful people. Aren't they all working hard to climb up? Do you think that others are like you and are easily satisfied?" Wang Manni said to Meng Donglai scoffed at the theory.

In her opinion, Meng Donglai is excellent, he could have been more successful, but he just doesn't want to make progress.

"Have you ever heard of a sentence? There are three important stages in life: admitting the ordinaryness of parents, admitting oneself is ordinary, and admitting the ordinaryness of children." Meng Donglai asked.

"I've heard of it, but I feel a little sad about it. If they admit it so easily, then those great people will disappear." Wang Manni retorted.

While talking, the phone rang.

"Hello, landlady." Wang Manni adjusted her mood and answered the phone.

"Little King."

"I just wanted to call you, and I will transfer the money to you right away." Wang Manni thought that the landlady's wife called to press for the rent.

"It's not turning right, don't worry, let me ask you, have you read the latest news?" The landlady spoke with a strong Shanghai dialect accent, and Wu Nong spoke softly, with more modal particles.

"What? News?"

"News, don't you young people read the news now? The real estate market is not good now. The sales of houses have dropped a lot."

"Oh. Is that so?" Wang Manni felt a little uncomfortable, and stood up.

"The house can't be sold, and the rent is going to rise sharply. You know our community, how much is it now?" Sure enough, what the landlady said next confirmed Wang Manni's feeling: "Let me tell you, you now This house is as if you don’t need money.”

"Sister, then we also sign once a year. You don't necessarily want to raise the price for me, do you?" Wang Manni wanted to remind the landlord to keep track.

"Oh, then what you said, let's terminate the contract early. I'll give you an extra month, and you can make money if you rent it out again." The landlady doesn't like this at all, she has her own account .

In her opinion, even if she gave her an extra month, even if she found a new tenant, she wouldn't be able to earn a few thousand dollars, but she was willing to toss about for this little money, because her time cost was very low.

But Wang Manni is different. She has to move when she is looking for a new house, and her time is very expensive.

"Don't, don't." Wang Manni got up and left the dining table, and walked to the balcony: "Then sister, how much do you think is going up?"

"You are seven thousand now. I am also a trustworthy person. Eight thousand five thousand, a preferential price." The landlady has no credit or preferential price in her mouth at all.

"Eight thousand and five! That's so much!?" Wang Manni was shocked, and the rent was raised by one thousand and five at a time. Some renters who work part-time don't even pay that much.

"Hey, yesterday's green onions in the supermarket cost two yuan and fifty cents, but today they are in the morning market for three yuan and eighty cents. The increase in my house is not as high as that of green onions."

Listening to Wang Manni calling on the balcony, Meng Donglai felt that she was in a mess right now.

Just now I was discussing hard work and mediocrity with myself, and now I am arguing with the landlady about the rent and vegetable prices.

Wang Manni, who hung up the phone, let out a long sigh, and sat down on a stool on the balcony to rest.

Meng Donglai walked over and put his arms around her shoulders: "Did the landlord raise the rent?"

"Well, it's very annoying." Wang Manni said dejectedly: "I have been in Shanghai for so many years, and I have moved four or five times. Either the landlord wants to increase the rent, or the landlord wants to sell the house. Every time I feel so embarrassed .”

Meng Donglai sat down and listened to her confide quietly: "Do you remember the drinking water pump on the pure water bucket in my house? Actually, it's not that I can't afford a water dispenser. It's not expensive to buy a water dispenser. It’s only more than 100 yuan, but when I think of taking it with me every time I move, I feel that it is very expensive.”

"Yes, when people who rent a house buy furniture and appliances, they will think about what to do when they move in the future." Meng Donglai responded: "It's okay, I'm here, you can share the rent with me, or you can Continue to live by yourself and I will help you pay the rent.”

"What annoys me is not the increase in rent, but the fact that I am 30 years old and have to keep moving. I feel like I will never be able to take root in this city." Wang Manni said deeply He sighed deeply.
