The world of film and television begins with Zhou Bingkun in the human world.

"Zhou Bingkun, your letter!"

"It's here!" Zhou Bingkun came out with his family's household registration book and seal, and took the letter that Zhou Zhigang had sent him from the postman.

Upon opening the envelope, the contents of the letter were quite simple, mainly inquiring about the family situation, asking how Li Suhua was doing, instructing Zhou Bingkun to take good care of Li Suhua, and then discussing money.

That's right, Zhou Zhigang sent money back home. He was supporting the construction in the Third Front and finally received his salary.

Thirty dollars, three "Great Unity" bills.

Upon seeing the money, Zhou Bingkun unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, without the money sent by Zhou Zhigang, Zhou Bingkun would have been under considerable financial pressure.

With the financial pressure gone, Zhou Bingkun could spend money freely.

From the very beginning, Zhou Bingkun wanted to buy self-study books on mathematics, physics, and chemistry, intending to study them properly in his spare time so that he could directly apply to a university when the college entrance examination was reinstated in 77.

However, he didn't have the opportunity to buy when he went to Yegouzi Village before. Later, when he returned to Jichun, Li Suhua had an accident, and he was under great financial pressure, so he didn't dare to use the funds he had on hand.

Now that Zhou Zhigang has sent him money, the pressure is gone, and he has the idea of ​​buying a series of self-study books on mathematics, physics, and chemistry.

When the weekend arrived, Zhou Bingkun immediately set off for Xinhua Bookstore.

Fortunately, there is no news that the college entrance examination will be reinstated, so normally no one would buy books like self-study series on mathematics, physics, and chemistry, so Zhou Bingkun doesn't have to worry about not being able to buy them.

Zhou Bingkun bought the entire set of 17 self-study books in mathematics, physics, and chemistry. The bookstore even wrapped the stack of books in newspaper for him.

After buying the books and leaving Xinhua Bookstore, Zhou Bingkun passed by the cinema and once again saw Zheng Juan with her hands tucked into her sleeves and her neck hunched over like a quail.

Zheng Juan also saw Zhou Bingkun, but she thought it was despicable that Zhou Bingkun had used Tu Zhiqiang to scare her, so she didn't want to talk to him at all.

"Give me a skewer of candied hawthorns." Zhou Bingkun took out a dime.

Zheng Juan, who originally didn't want to talk to Zhou Bingkun, immediately smiled when she saw Zhou Bingkun take out a dime and quickly handed him a string of candied hawthorns.

Seeing Zheng Juan's change of expression, Zhou Bingkun couldn't help but laugh.

He suddenly realized that Zheng Juan was quite cute.

In high spirits, Zhou Bingkun returned home, unwrapped the newspaper covering the books, and prepared to study diligently.

Of the four subjects, Zhou Bingkun planned to start with mathematics.

After flipping through the math book, Zhou Bingkun found that the content was quite simple, at least the beginning was quite simple.

There's absolutely no need for a teacher to teach you; you can understand it and learn it on your own.

He flipped through the pages of his math book, occasionally writing a few words in it.

Zhou Bingkun actually managed to learn it.

When Zhou Bingkun felt a little tired and his mind was a bit foggy, he finally shifted his attention away from the book.

After stretching and doing two chest-expanding exercises, Zhou Bingkun noticed two slightly wrinkled newspapers lying next to him.

Those two newspapers were the ones that came with the book when I bought it.

Since he had nothing better to do, Zhou Bingkun then picked it up.

Jichun Daily

The text above is almost entirely filled with phrases such as "Learn from the top leaders," "Support the masses to go to the countryside," and "Comrade Lin's speech."

Well, the things written in this newspaper seem particularly positive and uplifting, like they're giving you a real shot of adrenaline, but the content and direction are a bit off.

Of course, aside from the more than 70% of articles that Zhou Bingkun felt were off-track, he could occasionally find some articles with decent content.

For example, mobilizing the masses to go to the countryside, affirming the labor and contributions of the masses, etc.

Looking at these contents, Zhou Bingkun felt that perhaps he could write some similar articles. After all, they were all about praising, praising the farmers for their hard work, praising the educated youth for their enthusiasm for going to the countryside, and so on.

Even if it doesn't involve the people and events mentioned above, he can still write about ordinary people, such as farmers or educated youth!

After all, Zhou Bingkun really wants to make money right now.

Even though Zhou Zhigang would send thirty yuan a month for living expenses, it was still money sent by Zhou Zhigang.

Zhou Bingkun could use the money sent by Zhou Zhigang to hire a nanny for Li Suhua and buy medicine for her, but he felt somewhat uneasy about spending the money sent by Zhou Zhigang so freely.

Once he had an idea, Zhou Bingkun immediately started writing.

But once he started writing, he discovered that writing wasn't so easy after all.

Especially in this era, these newspaper articles, how should I put it, are concise in language, and the overall writing style is positive, even fervent.

These are not things that Zhou Bingkun could have written.

As soon as Zhou Bingkun started writing, he realized that his writing was heavily colloquial, which is what is commonly known as "filler" or "padded content" in later online novels.

Zhou Bingkun would carefully write a paragraph of one or two hundred words, but after condensing it like the content in a newspaper, only one or two sentences were actually usable.

This made Zhou Bingkun scratch his head, and he had to delete and rewrite it from time to time, or try to simplify it.

Finally, after much effort, he managed to write a short article, but it looked particularly awkward. The writing style was wrong; he could hardly write the kind of generous or even excited style that appeared in newspapers.

Finally, Zhou Bingkun read it himself and felt embarrassed. He crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it aside.

Should we give up?

After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Bingkun did not intend to give up and would continue writing.

The main problem is that there's nothing fun to do these days, which makes it quite boring.

Besides studying, writing articles can be a good way to pass the time when you're bored, and you can even make money from it.

If he actually finishes writing it, he could become a cultural worker, and maybe he could leave the slag removal workshop and not have to work so hard anymore.

So for the next period of time, Zhou Bingkun worked at the soy sauce factory during the day, and when he had nothing to do at home, he would study mathematics, physics and chemistry. When he was in the mood, he would try to write articles.

A full month passed, and by the time Zhou Bingkun received the money from Zhou Zhigang for the second time, his first article was finally completed.

The article is concise enough; although it's not particularly flowery, it's still passable.

At the same time, the writing style of the article also has a more contemporary feel, with that excited and positive spirit.
