Chapter 1432: Five Parts in Total, Dating with Xiang Nanfang
"Senior, how about we have dinner together? We are all fans of your books. I would like you to tell me about the idea of the third part of "Long River"..."
Xiang Nanfang did not expect that Su Mingzhe's speed and means of solving problems were so quick and experienced, which aroused her interest.
"Okay, we should be dealing with each other frequently in the next two years. Communicating in advance can also help avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."
Su Mingzhe appeared at the skating rink tonight just to create a chance encounter with Xiang Nanfang.
Even if Xiang Nanfang didn't ask, Su Mingzhe was ready to invite him.
Song Qingyuan was very conscious and considered himself the host. He raised his wrist and looked at his watch:
"Sister, senior, it's past eight o'clock now, and the restaurants are about to close. How about we find a food stall? I know one that has good food..."
"Okay, I don't care!"
Xiang Nanfang doesn't have any requirements in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. As long as the food is acceptable, it's fine.
Su Mingzhe naturally followed the host's wishes.
Song Qingyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the two of them agreed.
When he went out today, he had more than 200 yuan in his pocket. He had just arranged a blind date for Xiang Nanfang, and the man should have paid for it.
However, the deal was not concluded and Xiang Nanfang was so angry that he slammed the table and left. In order to avoid gossip, Song Qingyuan took the initiative to pay the bill, which cost more than 60 yuan.
Just now at the skating rink, the two of them spent another twenty to rent equipment.
Now Song Qingyuan only has about 150 yuan left in his pocket, so he can only eat at roadside stalls or food stalls.
Soon, the three of them arrived at a night market stall in Gulou.
In the hot summer, around eight o'clock is when the night market is the most prosperous and lively.
The three of them ordered six dishes and a bottle of beer, and then started eating.
After three rounds of drinking.
Xiang Nanfang brought up the old topic again and asked:
"Senior, what is your idea for the third film?"
Seeing that Xiang Nanfang was quite interested in his novel, Su Mingzhe asked with a smile:
"Have you seen the first two movies?"
"I've finished reading the first part, but you haven't finished the second part yet..."
Xiang Nanfang talked about what he had seen.
After listening to this, Su Mingzhe nodded and began to talk about his ideas:
"The first part is what you saw. The main plot is that everyone has been in trouble for many years. In order to develop the economy, they have to open up their minds, broaden their horizons, and improve their vision... The second part talks about some problems that occurred when connecting with the outside world..."
"As for the third part, I plan to write about some of the problems I encountered when I went abroad..."
The scale of "Like a Flowing River" is also very grand, and it can be regarded as a rare work of the times.
Su Mingzhe re-created it according to his own ideas and added some of his own understanding and reflections.
Xiang Nanfang and Song Qingyuan were both from wealthy families, and they were deeply inspired after listening to the speech.
After a few bottles of wine, Su Mingzhe became more talkative. After finishing the third part, he continued:
"In fact, I plan to write a five-part series for this book, A Flowing River. The first three parts mainly talk about the various problems encountered in the development process. Starting from the fourth part, I will talk about how to surpass myself and lead the world..."
Xiang Nanfang was one of those who stood firm. When he heard Su Mingzhe's idea, he immediately applauded:
"Then I will wait for the fourth and fifth parts of Senior to be released!"
Song Qingyuan went abroad to study a few years ago and just returned to China recently.
After seeing the advanced technology abroad, Song Qingyuan couldn't help but sigh:
"I don't know if I can see what the senior said before I die..."
"As long as you can live another thirty years, it will be fine!"
Su Mingzhe also knows that there is a huge gap between China and foreign countries at present. Coupled with Runren’s advocacy of foreign countries, this has led many people to be overly pessimistic about the future.
However, Su Mingzhe came from the future after all, and he had a clear understanding of the future development context. Therefore, seeing Song Qingyuan sighing, he couldn't help but give him some "guidance".
"Thirty years?"
When Song Qingyuan heard Su Mingzhe's "judgment", he couldn't help but chuckle:
"I can definitely live to see them in thirty years, but if we want to catch up with other countries, it will take us sixty years, let alone thirty years! Otherwise, as the higher-ups say, we won't reach developed levels until the middle of the 21st century..."
"Xiao Song, you've been out there for too long and have forgotten our Chinese people's good habit of being modest!"
Seeing that Song Qingyuan was still so pessimistic, Su Mingzhe smiled and said bluntly:
"It says that we should reach 'developed levels' by the middle of the 21st century. This definitely does not mean that we should reach the level of developed countries at that time." "In my opinion, it should mean that we should reach developed levels in all aspects by that time!"
"Remember, it is to 'fully' reach 'developed level'!"
As the head of the Propaganda Department, Xiang Nanfang easily understood what Su Mingzhe meant:
"Senior, what you mean is that by the middle of the 21st century, we will lead the world in all fields?"
Su Mingzhe saw that Xiang Nanfang understood and nodded in praise:
"Yes, that's what I mean! Just imagine, our country has a population of 1.2 to 1.3 billion, and we are at the forefront of the world in all aspects. What level is this?"
"It sounds like a fairy tale!"
Song Qingyuan still couldn't quite believe it. During the years he studied abroad, he witnessed the huge differences between China and foreign countries, which made him seriously lack of confidence.
"Whether it is a fantasy or not, we will just have to wait and see. Anyway, I believe that within 30 years, our comprehensive strength will be ranked first."
Su Mingzhe skipped the topic and started chatting with the two of them.
Before I knew it, it was half past ten.
The three of them had almost finished drinking, so they got up, paid the bill and went home.
On the second day.
Xiang Nanfang arrived at the office on time. Just as she sat down, she received a call from the Municipal Propaganda Office, asking her to come over for a meeting.
When he arrived at the meeting room of the Municipal Propaganda Office, Xiang Nanfang met many heads of units.
Nine o'clock.
The head of the city's propaganda department came to the conference room and announced directly that the second season of "A Flowing River" would also be approved and the two TV series would be filmed within three years.
The first film was released before the Spring Festival in 99.
The second part will be released before National Day in 99.
Time is tight and tasks are heavy.
The leaders began to give orders to the heads of various departments, asking them to restrain their people and stop delaying progress. The originally lax attitude must be changed.
Xiang Nanfang had already known the news from Su Mingzhe, so he was not surprised.
The others were all shocked and wanted to shout "Not enough time", but when they saw the leader's solemn expression, they immediately shut up.
……
The time came to noon.
Su Mingzhe stayed up all night last night and finished the scripts for the first and second parts.
After a good sleep, when he arrived at the crew, he saw that everyone who was so slow yesterday was now on high alert and working hard.
"Good morning, senior!"
Xiang Nanfang was giving instructions to the people in his department. When he saw Su Mingzhe appear, his eyes lit up.
"Minister Xiang, good morning!"
Su Mingzhe greeted her and walked past her, came to Director Zhang, and handed over two scripts:
"I've already finished it. Since several department leaders are here today, let's quickly finalize this and get ready to start filming!"
"Lao Su, you are still the best!"
When Director Zhang learned today that the second season of "Like a Flowing River" was also going to start filming, he knew that it was Su Mingzhe's work.
After feeling impressed by Su Mingzhe's ability, Director Zhang's eyes were full of admiration:
"How did you talk to your boss about this? Why did they add a second part?"
“Just state the facts, present the problem, and the leaders will solve it!”
Su Mingzhe chuckled and did not tell anyone the content of his negotiations with his leader.
To be honest, using writing the third part as a negotiation has a bit of a blackmail feel to it.
He told Xiang Nanfang and Song Qingyuan last night because both of them were from powerful courtyards, and they would be able to find out even if he didn't say it.
Therefore, if you tell them in advance and ask them not to spread it outside, then there will be no problem.
Director Zhang is a big talker. If he knew that Su Mingzhe used the third part to negotiate with the leaders, I'm afraid that in a few days, he would know everything he should and shouldn't know!
At that time, if any rumors spread, the leader would lose face and Su Mingzhe would definitely be targeted.
So, at this moment, Su Mingzhe just laughed it off.
Director Zhang was skeptical about Su Mingzhe's words, and always felt that it was not that simple.
Just as he was about to ask, a pure and sweet-looking girl came over and invited Su Mingzhe:
"Senior, it's almost noon, how about having lunch together?"
