The world of film and television begins from childhood

Qiu Shui changed the subject and said, "Zhou Chen, you definitely missed out by not going to see Farewell My Concubine. Let me tell you, this movie is really good and exciting."

"Good-looking? Is the person sitting next to you good-looking?"

"Uh."

"Of course not."

Xiao Hong laughed happily. He enjoyed Zhou Chen's words very much.

The four chatted for a while and then rode back. It was already late and they had to get back to the barracks before dinner.

After today's holiday, there will be no more holidays until the New Year, and we will be doing military training all the time.

During the Chinese New Year, the military camp did give the students a long holiday, but in a word, they could only do activities in the military camp.

A group of students from Renhe Medical College gathered together to celebrate their first Spring Festival at the university.

Drinking is not allowed in the military camp. When people get together, they just eat snacks, chat and play games.

For Zhou Chen, this year was already a pretty good one. When he was in other worlds before, there were several times when he spent the New Year alone. That feeling of loneliness was the most uncomfortable.

A few years ago, news came from the publishing house that Triple Door had already started selling. Just as Zhou Chen expected, because it was just the beginning and there was not much advertising, the sales were average.

But the people from the publishing house also said that this is just the beginning and nothing can be seen yet. It will take some time before sales explode.

Zhou Chen has been in business for many years, but he knows nothing about publishing and sales. Besides, he can't do anything now and can only wait in the military camp.

When school started after the New Year, Triple Door experienced its first boom period. Because the book was mainly about school life, it quickly became popular among students and sales soared.

From February to March and April, the sales of Triple Door continued to increase, making it a hit novel in 93.

The publishing house was even more excited and came to the military camp in person to discuss cooperation on the next novel with Zhou Chen, and also gave Zhou Chen a share of the royalties.

In a few months, Zhou Chen had completed the four volumes of Zhu Xian. Because the other party's attitude was very good and the two sides cooperated very happily, he did not hesitate too much about the publication of Zhu Xian. He signed the contract and handed it to the other party.

In fact, the person in charge of the publishing house who was in contact with him was very surprised to see that Zhou Chen’s new book was actually a fantasy novel. They thought that Zhou Chen’s new book was still a similar type to The Triple Door, but they never expected that Zhou Chen actually changed to a genre they had never encountered before.

If Zhou Chen’s first book had not become a hit, they would definitely not be willing to give Zhou Chen such good contract terms.

If there is one thing they are relatively satisfied with about Zhu Xian, it is the number of words. There are more than one million words and eight volumes of content, which is enough for them to publish at least eight books, or even more, and it can completely become a series.

Although the contract for Zhu Xian has been negotiated, it will still take some time before it can be published as a book.

In a blink of an eye, there is only more than a month left before the end of the military training. In more than a month, they will leave the barracks and report to Renhe Medical College.

As the military training was about to end, the leaders of the military camp discussed the final activity and organized a knowledge competition in which all major universities would participate.

This was an opportunity to make a name for himself, so Sun Jianjun appointed three people without any hesitation. They were the two squad leaders, Hou Pu and Zhao Yingnan, as well as Zhou Chen.

Needless to say, the two squad leaders knew that Zhou Chen's abilities were well known in the class. Sun Jianjun wanted to make a contribution, so of course he would not let Zhou Chen go.

After discussion, the remaining spot was given to Qiu Shui.

Qiu Shui is the most outstanding boy in literature in the class except Zhou Chen.

In fact, the students in the class competed for this last spot, because as long as they participated in the knowledge competition, they would not have to participate in military training for the next month. No student could resist such temptation.

But in the end, Qiu Shui relied on his own background to win this opportunity and became the fourth person to participate in the competition.

Next, the four participants in the competition gathered together every day to read and memorize books. The content of this competition was all included in the several books distributed by the army.

The book has been published and more than half of "Zhu Xian" has been written. There is a share of the royalties every month, so Zhou Chen is not in a hurry to finish it. Every day he studies and memorizes with Zhao Yingnan and others, preparing to achieve good results in the knowledge competition.

Although he didn't care too much about the honor of this school, it was the last major event after leaving the military camp, so he still wanted to make a difference.

Unlike in the TV series, there was no rivalry between Qiu Shui and Xiao Hong. Zhou Chen and the other three got along very well. Each of them was responsible for a part and started learning.

"Zhou Chen, what's going on between you and Zhao Yingnan? You've been together for so long, but you haven't officially announced your relationship. Didn't you see the look in the monitor's eyes? He's ready to steal your girl at any time."

Qiu Shui drank milk tea and asked Zhou Chen who was sitting next to him.

Because there is no one supervising them, they can rest whenever they want, just like Zhou Chen and Qiu Shui now.

Zhou Chen bought four cups of milk tea, and after dividing them, he and Qiu Shui went to the stairwell to sit and chat.

"I'm different from you. When passion strikes, I do whatever I want. I think more about things. Feelings are developed through getting along. Zhao Yingnan and I are indeed very good, but it's not time yet."

"So what does it mean in your eyes that time has come?"

"Don't meddle in my business. What on earth are you and Xiao Hong doing? I saw you two were so close a while ago, and you looked so sweet. What happened in the past two months? Did your relationship break down?"

Qiu Shui and Xiao Hong are both high-profile people, but they are a little cautious in their relationship. Ever since that movie, Zhou Chen thought they could quickly establish a relationship.

But the reality was completely different from what he thought, they did not establish a romantic relationship, but for some unknown reason, they returned to their previous state of fighting and playing.

Zhou Chen felt that there was something wrong with these two people. Can't they just have a good relationship? Why do they have to be so dramatic?

Qiu Shui said depressedly: "Who is sweet with her? I'm not. Don't talk nonsense."

Zhou Chen: "It's up to you. I think you and Xiao Hong are a good match. Why do you have to make it so complicated? If you continue like this, I don't think you will be able to compete with Xiao Bai."

Although Gu Ming is silly, he is absolutely steadfast in his feelings. Even though he saw the entanglement between Qiu Shui and Xiao Hong, he still did not give up and was still working hard to pursue Xiao Hong, hoping that Xiao Hong would look at him more one day.

Qiu Shui groaned without saying a word. He certainly knew Gu Ming's little thoughts. On one side was his brother, and on the other was the woman he loved. He was also very conflicted.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Have you read the short story I gave you a few days ago? How was it?"

After a few months, Qiu Shui wrote several short stories and insisted on asking Zhou Chen to comment on them. He also followed Zhou Chen's example and submitted his works to newspapers and publishing houses.

Unfortunately, not a single one was successful and all were returned.

However, Qiu Shui did not get discouraged and continued to work hard on his writing. However, every time he finished writing, he would let Zhou Chen take a look first. He would only submit his work when Zhou Chen thought it was good enough.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chen's head ached. Qiu Shui was indeed enthusiastic, but the problem was that he always changed the topic in a different way. As he wrote, he would go in that direction. No matter what you said, he wouldn't listen, so Zhou Chen gave up on him completely.

Maybe one day Qiu Shui will get the hang of it and be able to write a good article, but now, I think he is still a long way from it.

"It's okay. If you think it's okay, give it a try."

"The competition will start in a few days, so we must go all out now. Old Sun is looking forward to us giving him face. Let's study quickly after we finish drinking."

This time they are going to face the top college students in the country. Those who can be admitted to these universities are definitely geniuses. Even though Zhou Chen believes that he has an extraordinary memory, he dare not say that he can definitely beat those genius students.

"It won't be long before we can go back to school. The hard days will finally be over." Qiu Shui shouted excitedly.

Zhou Chen chuckled and said, "How can you be sure that life in school will be better than in the military camp? You were born in a medical family, so you should know how difficult it is to study medicine."

Qiu Shui said, "It's true that studying medicine is not easy, but the environment of Renhe Medical College is not comparable to that of a military camp. In addition, we have vacations every week, so we can go wherever we want. It's easy and comfortable. Well, there are a lot of exams in school, which is a hassle."

"Stop talking, let's go back."

Chapter 305 Military training is over, goodbye instructor Dai

Although Zhou Chen was preparing for the quiz, he did not forget another important thing, which was to stop Gu Ming's public display of love.

Having watched the TV series, he knew clearly that Gu Ming was going to publicly declare his love on the award ceremony stage of the quiz competition. He also knew the consequence of doing so, which would cause Gu Ming to be deported back to the United States.

After spending a year together, Zhou Chen and Gu Ming have a very harmonious relationship, and naturally he doesn't want this simple little brother to end up like that.

So when Gu Ming was preparing, he called Gu Ming out specifically.

"Xiaobai, I see you've been busy lately, are you planning to do something big?"

Zhou Chen asked Gu Ming knowing the answer.

When Gu Ming heard this, he immediately gave a thumbs up and said, "Great! How did you know I was going to do something big?"

Zhou Chen said: "I saw you secretly hiding a piece of clothing that day."

"I hid it so deeply, but you found it. It turns out that I can't hide anything from you."

"Tell me honestly, are you going to confess your feelings to Xiaohong?"

Gu Ming said shyly: "You guessed it. Yes, I am going to confess to Xiaohong. In order to express my sincerity, I am going to confess to Xiaohong in a time when everyone is watching. She will definitely be moved by me."

"Zhou Chen, what do you think of my plan? Isn't it cool?"

"I don't know if it's cool or not, but I know that if you do that, Xiaohong will definitely not agree to it."

"Why? Don't girls all like romance? My preparations are so romantic, why wouldn't you agree?"

Zhou Chen had a headache. Gu Ming was sometimes too naive and had a one-track mind.

"Let me put it this way. Things are different in China and abroad. Dating is a matter between two people. Some people like to be the center of attention, while others prefer a simple life and just live a good life. Although Xiao Hong is eccentric, she is not what you think. Not only will your method not succeed, but you may even have trouble being friends in the end."

"Is it really like that?" Gu Ming asked doubtfully.

"real."

What Zhou Chen has to do now is to stop Gu Ming from doing stupid things. As for Xiao Hong, if Qiu Shui did that, Xiao Hong would definitely agree 100%, but Gu Ming is not Qiu Shui. No matter how romantic he is, he can't move Xiao Hong's heart.

"Brother, believe me, if you confess your feelings on the award ceremony stage of the knowledge contest, you will definitely be punished and expelled from school."

"Wait, Zhou Chen, how do you know that I'm going to confess my feelings on the stage of the quiz competition?" Gu Ming asked Zhou Chen in surprise.

Zhou Chen said: "With your little trick, can't I guess it? I really advise you to give up this idea. Don't forget that the purpose of your coming to China is to find your mother. If you are deported back to the United States because of your confession, how can you find your mother?"

"Think carefully about what is more important."

Gu Ming, who was full of passion, suddenly fell in expression when he heard Zhou Chen talking about his mother.

Yes, the purpose of his trip was to find his mother. If he couldn’t find his mother because of this incident, he might not regret it, but he would definitely feel very uncomfortable.

"Think about it carefully. You are an adult and you should be responsible for what you do. If you really want to do that, I can't stop you."

Patting Gu Ming on the shoulder, Zhou Chen didn't continue speaking.

He has already said so much. If Gu Ming still refuses to change his mind, no matter how much he says, it will be useless.

Finally, after several days of consideration, Gu Ming figured it out. However, he was not going to give up on confessing his feelings. Instead, he gave up his original plan to confess his feelings on the award ceremony stage of the quiz competition. After a military training, he chose to confess his feelings in the woods and wore the clothes he had carefully prepared.

As for the result, it was obvious that even though Gu Ming had made so many careful preparations, all he got in the end was just one sentence.

I'm sorry, Xiaobai, you are a good person, but we are really not suitable.

No matter what kind of person Xiao Hong is, she is definitely serious about relationships. She doesn't like Gu Ming, and even if Gu Ming has done so much for her, she would not agree.

Xiao Hong's refusal made Gu Ming very sad, but made Qiu Shui feel relieved.

The love-hate relationship between these three people will probably continue from the military camp to the school. In Zhou Chen's opinion, this is entirely Qiu Shui's own fault.

The final result of the quiz contest was that Huaqing University took first place and Renhe Medical College took second place.

Zhou Chen had tried his best, but there was no other way. The other universities were not weak either, and this was not a one-on-one duel, but one school against another. The cooperation of the four of them was ultimately not as good as that of Huaqing University, and they finally took second place with a difference of one point.

It is not easy to get second place. At least Sun Jianjun is very happy and this ranking is also beneficial to him.

With the end of the knowledge competition, the one-year military training has also come to an end. After the final drill, students from various schools have begun to return to school.

The classmates of Renhe Medical College and their instructor Sun Jianjun met for the last time, and they were all very sad.

After being together for a year, both parties have developed a certain affection for each other, and it is always a bit reluctant to suddenly separate.

The boys were fine, but the girls were different. Many of them cried their hearts out, as if they couldn't live without her.

Many girls are like this. When they are angry, they curse harder than anyone else, and when they are sad, they act sadder than anyone else.

"Dear students, today I have brought an old friend of ours."

Sun Jianjun not only came to say goodbye to everyone in person, but also brought someone who surprised everyone.

"Instructor Dai?"

When they saw the appearance of the person, everyone was very surprised. Their memory of Instructor Dai was still from half a year ago. Compared with the well-behaved Sun Jianjun, the original Instructor Dai was more fresh in everyone's memory.

However, because of Wang Xiu Yu's incident, he was transferred to other places. Unexpectedly, he would be able to see him again when he was about to leave the barracks.

Dai Bingzhong was also very excited when he met everyone again. The students of Renhe Medical College were the first batch of college students he taught, and would also be the last batch. He would never have the chance to become an instructor again.

Although he did not change his career as he wished, he did not get the opportunity for promotion. I am afraid it will be difficult for him to make any achievements in the next few years. This is his current situation.

"Hello, classmates."

After that incident, Dai Bingzhong had obviously changed a lot, and it might also be because today was their farewell, so he seemed very sad.

"Old Dai took a special leave today to see you off. Let's applaud," Sun Jianjun said loudly.

Warm applause was given to Instructor Dai. Even Zhou Chen and others who had conflicts with Instructor Dai lent their applause.

A group of people gathered around Instructor Dai, chattering. Even though Instructor Dai was very strict with everyone in the beginning, by this time, everyone no longer had any resentment towards him. All they had was sadness of parting.

After Zhou Chen dispersed from the crowd, he walked up to Dai Bingzhong and saluted solemnly.

He no longer had any dislike for Dai Bingzhong. In fact, from another perspective, Dai Bingzhong was also a pitiful man.
