Chapter 21: Selling Scripts to Beautiful Women

  Sun Zesheng has his own plan, making money is possible, but it must be done within the existing legal and regulatory framework.

  Doing so may be subject to certain constraints, but it can largely avoid the so-called "original sin", and in the future when he grows up, there will be no problems left for people to grasp his small tail and settle accounts with him.

  Of course, Sun Zesheng dared to make explosives himself in his previous life and was willing to be a human bomb, going to the end with his enemies. This shows that he is not a person who can keep a low profile. Once someone doesn't follow the rules and pushes him to a certain extent, what laws and regulations are, in his eyes, are just a joke.

  It's not worth doing something irregular just for a few tens of thousands of dollars. Moreover, it's not easy to have the chance to relive, so we should cherish it well.

  After watching the passengers walking back and forth in the corridor for a while, Sun Zesheng lost interest. In his past lives, he had taken all sorts of vehicles, even interstellar spacecraft several times. No matter which life, there were all kinds of people among the passengers, and it was not easy to analyze the deeper things just based on a simple encounter.

  At this moment, the train started just in time.

  Sun Zesheng was a bit bored, so he quietly used the Tianji Star 3000 to take a photo of the little Jing with acne all over her face. Then, he had the Tianji Star 3000 perform a simple acne removal on the photo. In the blink of an eye, a photo without any acne appeared in Sun Zesheng's mind.

  Sun Zesheng was surprised to find that without acne, Xiao Jing was absolutely a beauty with a score of over 90, born with a beautiful appearance, no worse than those big stars.

  What a pity! Sun Zesheng secretly shook his head.

  "Hey, classmate, are you going to Beijing for school?" Xiao Jin suddenly asked.

  Sun Zesheng nodded, "Yes. I'm a student at Huaxia Agricultural University, and I'll be a junior soon. By the way, my name is Sun Zesheng. Nice to meet you all."

  That little man actively stretched out his hand and said, "My name is Xu Yunjin. I am from the Directing Department of Yanjing Film Academy. Nice to meet you."

  "Xu Yunjin? What a great name. Abandoning the mundane and leaving traces in the clouds, it's as if you're a celestial being descending from the Milky Way. Your parents must have thought of you as a fairy from the heavens when they gave you such a beautiful name." Sun Zesheng complimented casually.

  Xu Yunjin giggled and said, "Sun Zesheng, you're really interesting. You're the first boy to hear my name and guess its origin correctly. Now, can you guess the origin of my best friend's name?"

  Xiao Jing patted Xu Yunjin lightly and said, "What's the origin of my name? Nice to meet you, I'm Rong Jingying. From Yanjing University, nice to meet you."

  "Oh, both of you are talented women, I apologize for my disrespect."

  Sun Zesheng fully utilized his charming and eloquent nature to converse with the two women. Although he was severely deceived by Taizi Party in his previous life, his experiences far surpassed those of Rong Jingying and Xu Yunjin, and nominally being a junior student, he actually held dual doctoral degrees in his past life; describing him as "erudite" would not be an exaggeration.

  Soon, the two women were deeply attracted by his topic.

  Xu Yunjin can also be considered a beautiful woman, looking at her entranced and listening expression, Sun Zesheng's heart moved, his first pot of gold in the capital doesn't necessarily have to fall on Rong Jingying, perhaps falling on Xu Yunjin is not impossible either.

  "Xu Yunjin, you just said you're from the directing department of Yanjing Film Academy. I have a story here, come and listen, can it be made into a movie?" Sun Zesheng smiled.

  Although most graduates from the directing department of Beijing Film Academy have become ordinary, this does not mean that Xu Yunjin is willing to be one of them. Since she chose to major in directing, it means that she dreams of making a movie with great influence one day and becoming a well-known female director nationwide or even worldwide.

  In addition, there is a period of time when the department will organize these undergraduate students in the directing department to shoot micro-movies to verify their learning outcomes. Xu Yunjin was worried about not having a good movie script.

  Just now, a conversation with Sun Zesheng made Xu Yunjin feel that Sun Zesheng is a person with great inner qualities, and perhaps he can provide her with a better way of thinking. So she smiled and said: "Good, I'll listen carefully, hoping you won't disappoint me."

  Sun Zesheng casually picked a movie that later generations had seen and started talking to Xu Yunjin about it. It was a very successful romance film, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he hooked Xu Yunjin in. Rong Jingying was no exception, her eyes shining brightly as she looked at Sun Zesheng.

  Girls are always more emotional and have a greater interest in tragic love stories than most boys.

  When Sun Zesheng finished telling the love story, Xu Yunjin waved her arm vigorously and said, "I've decided, my maiden work will be based on this story. Sun Zesheng, are you from Ji'nan City? I am too. Considering we're both from the same hometown, can you sell me this story?"

  Sun Zesheng smiled and nodded, "Alright. This story, I can sell to you. If you only want the idea, it's 200,000 yuan. If you want a complete script, then it's 500,000 yuan."

  Xu Yunjin took a sharp breath in, her small face falling.

  "Sun Zesheng, you're ruthless."

  Do you know? The price of a new screenwriter, if it can be given to 100,000, is already very generous. Even for a well-known writer, having 200-300,000 is not bad. You suddenly want 500,000, that's too black-hearted.

  Also, don't forget that I'm going to shoot a small film now, with a budget of around 30-50 million, which is already the highest. You're asking me for so much, where can I get that kind of money from?

  "Please, can you make it cheaper?"

  In the end, Xu Yunjin had a somewhat spoiled tone, as she had always relied on her good looks to get what she wanted.

  Sun Zesheng, however, was not taken in by Xu Yunjin's tactics. Neither Rong Jingying nor Xu Yunjin had any great appeal to him at this point, as he had just met them and wasn't the type of man who would be immediately smitten with a woman.

  He shrugged his shoulders, "Take it or leave it! If you want it, that's the price. If not, forget it. I don't need this little bit of money."

  Xu Yunjin looked up and down at Sun Zesheng, who was wearing a suit that couldn't be said to be all street goods, but it was quite ordinary. The entire outfit, if calculated together, wouldn't even add up to 1,000 yuan, which would be somewhat exaggerated.

  A working-class family has emerged! And yet, they still say they're not short of money?

  Xu Yunjin didn't believe it at all, and she still wanted to tease Sun Zesheng, so she simply turned her head away and put on an air of not wanting to talk to him.

  Sun Zesheng smiled casually, if Xu Yunjin was willing, it would be the best, if not, he wouldn't force it, nor would he sell cheaply. He was very clear about the value of the movie script he mentioned earlier, asking for 500,000 was fair, and could even be said to be slightly cheaper. He too was eager to cash out, that's why he wanted so much, otherwise, he would have asked for at least another 100,000 more.

  In the following journey, Sun Zesheng did not mention anything about the movie script and continued to chat with Rong Jingying and Xu Yunjin.

  Rong Jingying thought Sun Zesheng was a very interesting person, and she would run into other college students from different schools more than once.

  Those university students who heard that she was from Yenching University would involuntarily lose three points of momentum, unlike Sun Zesheng, who could sense that he really didn't care about her identity as a Yenching University student.

  Sun Zesheng discussed the script transaction with Xu Yunjin, which made her think that Sun Zesheng was a very interesting person. Her best friend, who had previously relied on being from the directing department of Yanjing Film Academy, had often teased some young men and women eager to become famous, including some wealthy and influential ones.

  These people, in order to appear in Xu Yunzhi's yet-to-be-released film, would agree to any condition he proposed.

  Not to mention that very few people mention money in front of Xu Yunjin, even if there are, it is those people who hold the money and want to give it to Xu Yunjin.

  Some claimed that they wanted to invest in Xu Yunjin, while others hoped to get acquainted with a pretty girl from the film academy through Xu Yunjin, have dinner together, drink some wine, hold hands, and if possible, develop something more than friendship.

  "Sun Zesheng, what major are you studying at Huaxia Agricultural University?" Rong Jingying started the conversation and began chatting with Sun Zesheng.

  ……

  From Sun Zesheng's hometown to Beijing, it takes more than three hours by motor train. If you take the high-speed rail, you can save an hour and only need two hours or so.

  When the Harmony train pulled into the Beijing city limits with its dozen or so cars, some of the impatient passengers inside began to stir, and those who were quick-tempered couldn't wait to start packing up their luggage and preparing to disembark.

  "Two beauties, leave a phone number." Sun Zesheng took out his mobile phone and gestured to the two women.

  "My number is 155..." Rong Jingying was about to say her own number when Xu Yunjin suddenly stopped her.

  "Sun Zesheng, are the phone numbers of these two beauties something that can be casually told to outsiders? Of course, if you want to know, it's not like I won't tell you. However, you need to show some sincerity. If you're willing to sell me your movie script at a lower price, I'll let Xia Jing tell you hers, and mine is also available. Who knows, if we're happy, I might even introduce you to the campus flower of our Yanjing Film Academy."

  Sun Zesheng smiled and put away his phone, "My mobile number is 135xxxxxxx, if the two sisters have something to do, you can call me. Hehe, I'm arriving at my stop. See you later."

  Sun Zesheng took a newspaper, placed it on the seat, then stepped on the newspaper and took down the luggage that he and the two women had placed on the luggage rack. He then waved at the two women and pulled his suitcase towards the door of the carriage.
