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

Zheng Juan was always quite proud of Zhou Bingkun's articles being published in the newspaper, and could even be said to admire Zhou Bingkun greatly.

Now, the newspaper editors have even come to invite him in person, which makes Zheng Juan admire Zhou Bingkun even more.

Therefore, whenever Zhou Bingkun wanted to write or study after get off work, Zheng Juan would take extra care of him. She even bought fruit, cut it up, and placed it in front of him.

After making these preparations, she even held little Zhou Ran and hid far away, afraid that the sound of little Zhou Ran crying would disturb Zhou Bingkun.

Whenever Zhou Bingkun finished writing or studying, she would give him a head massage to help him relax.

To be honest, Zhou Bingkun sometimes felt fortunate that he was still working normally. Otherwise, given Zheng Juan's condition, he was really worried that she would turn him into a useless person.

When Zhou Bingkun talked to Shao Jingwen before, it seemed like writing articles in the style Shao Jingwen wanted would be easy. But when Zhou Bingkun actually started writing, he found that writing the articles Shao Jingwen wanted was not so easy.

The main reason is that in recent years, Zhou Bingkun has written too many articles praising a particular style, so much so that when he writes, he unconsciously incorporates that style into his writing.

Often, Zhou Bingkun's writing starts off well, but as he writes, it goes astray.

There was nothing else Zhou Bingkun could do but rewrite it, over and over again.

After constantly rewriting, deleting, and revising, Zhou Bingkun finally finished writing this article after a great deal of effort.

After Zhou Bingkun finished writing the article, he held it in his hand and read it from beginning to end. He found that it read smoothly without any problems or typos, and only then did he consider it officially finished.

As for the specific content of Zhou Bingkun's article?

Naturally, this relates to the topic of educated youth going to the countryside.

The reason for choosing this topic is probably because Zhou Bingkun is quite familiar with it.

Previously, when Zhou Bingkun wrote articles, most of them were about educated youth going to the countryside, but the content he wrote at that time was all positive and uplifting.

For example, when the educated youth were sent to the countryside, they were very reluctant. After arriving, they found the work extremely hard and didn't want to do it. However, the villagers were very warm-hearted and took the initiative to help. Then, the educated youth realized their mistakes, actively corrected them, and finally worked happily with the villagers to build the village.

Most of them are of this kind.

Therefore, Zhou Bingkun was quite familiar with the experience of educated youth going to the countryside, and naturally wrote about this kind of content.

However, although they are all about educated youth going to the countryside, the content and style of this article are quite different from the previous ones.

This time, Zhou Bingkun's protagonist is a female educated youth.

After being sent to the countryside, the female educated youth was coveted by a local scoundrel, then framed and tricked, and finally had no choice but to submit to him, ruining her life.

Such things are not uncommon in the countryside. Many female educated youths were tricked in this way and ended up having to marry anyone they could find. In some extreme cases, female educated youths were even driven to suicide.

However, this was Zhou Bingkun's first time writing in this style, and he also knew that although Shao Jingwen had made some adjustments, he might not dare to accept anything too explicit. That's why Zhou Bingkun didn't write it in such an extreme or tragic way.

Even so, after reading Zhou Bingkun's article, Zheng Juan still couldn't help but feel sad and even shed tears for the fate of the female educated youth.

Under Zhou Bingkun's tutelage, Zheng Juan didn't acquire much knowledge, but at least she was able to read and write commonly used characters, so she could understand the articles written by Zhou Bingkun.

"That female educated youth is so pitiful, and that good-for-nothing is so annoying," Zheng Juan said, wiping away her tears.

"Alright, stop crying. I just made this up. You actually believed it?" Zhou Bingkun comforted Zheng Juan.

"Make it up? No way. When I was at work, my colleague Sister Wen told me that a girl from one of her distant relatives went to the countryside and experienced something similar to what you wrote. In the end, she had no choice but to marry any man she could find." Zheng Juan shook her head and said.

"..."

"But Bingkun, you wrote really well. I think this time you wrote even better than before." Zheng Juan began to praise Zhou Bingkun again, her slightly teary eyes revealing undisguised admiration.

Over the weekend, Zhou Bingkun took his completed article to see Shao Jingwen.

When Shao Jingwen received Zhou Bingkun's article, he didn't have much confidence in it at first. After all, a person's writing style is easy to fix. Zhou Bingkun had been writing in the same style for so many years. It would be quite difficult to get him to change his style now.

However, after reading Zhou Bingkun's article, Shao Jingwen couldn't help but take off his glasses, wipe them with his thermal underwear, and then put them back on.

"Comrade Zhang Ye, your article is excellent! It's so well written! To be honest, I was a little worried at first that you couldn't write in this style, but I didn't expect that you could not only write it, but write it so well." Shao Jingwen exclaimed, his tone full of admiration for Zhou Bingkun.

"Actually, it was quite difficult for me to write. I've written so many articles before that my style has become somewhat fixed, so when I was writing this article, I kept going off-topic. I wrote and revised, revised and wrote again. It was incredibly exhausting," Zhou Bingkun said modestly.

"Comrade Zhang Ye, you've really worked hard." Shao Jingwen understood Zhou Bingkun's situation well. After all, as a writer himself, he knew how difficult it was to get a writer with a fixed style to write in a different style.

"So, Editor-in-Chief Shao, how much do you think you're going to pay me for this article?" Zhou Bingkun asked with a smile, his expression changing.

"...How about this, I'll give you three yuan per thousand words? That'll be the middle range for payment." Shao Jingwen thought for a moment and offered this price.

The main issue is Zhou Bingkun's article. Well, it's indeed well-written, but to say it's exceptionally good? Not really. It's far from being worthy of six yuan per thousand words.

"Since the goal is to get the middle price, why can't it be four yuan per thousand words, but three yuan per thousand words instead?" Zhou Bingkun was a bit petty.

"...Comrade Zhang Ye, you really are something else—fine, then four yuan per thousand words." Shao Jingwen was a little amused and exasperated.

He felt that Zhou Bingkun, as a writer, was ultimately too mercenary.
