Chapter 223 Year 【Final Chapter】

Chapter 223 Ten Years 【The Final Chapter of This Volume】

Jiang Hong subconsciously turned around and glanced at the hospital behind him.

"Do you need me to go there now?"

"No, no, actually... Well, it's a big deal to me, but it's not a big deal to you. But I really don't know who to talk to about the troubles in my heart. "Xu He complained helplessly.

"After thinking about it, maybe it's best to just talk to you. If you are busy or don't have time to listen to what I have to say, hang up at any time."

Hearing what he said, Jiang Hong calmed down.

"Well, tell me, I'm listening. It's rare for me to take a break from my busy schedule today and go out for a walk."

"Well... well, I'm so embarrassed to say it, I made it known to everyone before, and I said it when I was excited to see people, You Qi even bluffed with you for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be like this in the end The result..." Xu He was a little embarrassed to say, but since everyone knew each other so well, there was no need for him to hide it anymore.

What should I say, or say it directly.

"Actually, it's the copyright adaptation I discussed before, the book I just finished, the one based on you and your wife... Do you have any impression?"

"Yes, didn't I hear that the copyright of the film and television has been sold, and some film and television companies are very optimistic about this project, and they are already casting roles, and it will be launched next year. Wanwan and I are still waiting for it to go online, and we plan to pursue it together when the time comes. Drama." Jiang Hong laughed.

Xu He sighed, "Well, this was originally the first authorized film and television adaptation in my career. Before I signed the contract, I confirmed it many times, and finally signed the contract with confidence, but the current situation is the same as that at that time. It's different..."

"What's going on?" Jiang Hong frowned subconsciously. Jiang Hong really had great expectations for this novel and TV series. He had read the novels written by Xu He, and the quality was guaranteed and there was nothing out of the ordinary. The plot is written in the authentic way of life.

If it is adapted into a TV series, it should be satisfactory.

Moreover, the best-selling popularity and sales of reading novels are quite rigid, which is more in line with the market, and there should be no major problems.

Before, Xu He took this matter a lot and showed it off in front of Jiang Hong. For a while, Xu He would mention the book whenever they met, not to mention how excited he was.

It seems to have been regarded as the realization of one's own ideal of life, a dream come true.

Unexpectedly, Xu He's voice changed now.

"I'm in trouble, and it's not the kind of trouble that I can stop. It's uncomfortable. Maybe it's because life can't be all right. I don't mean anything else, Lao Jiang, I just complain to you."

"I have always felt that I broke into this industry because I was destined to write in my life. This is the only hobby I have been able to persist in these years besides playing games. Think about it carefully, starting from about elementary school. , I really enjoy the feeling of being able to present my own story to readers."

"And I happen to be relatively talented. I can eat this bowl of rice and earn money to support my family. I thought that my life might be smooth like this."

"But maybe this is the way of the world." Xu He sighed again, "I plan...to withdraw the sold copyright, and would rather break the contract and pay liquidated damages."

"Ah?" Jiang Hong was taken aback for a moment, "What's going on, don't be so emotional, just talk about it carefully."

Xu He pursed his lips, and said seriously: "How should I put it, there are many practical factors, but the most important are two points. First, it is not as important to my novel project and the film and television company at the beginning. The series adaptation of my novel is actually a relatively dispensable project.”

"This company bought several film and television copyrights at one go, and the price is not too high in the market price. In the end, it will determine which project is more suitable for incubation according to the market response, and other projects will probably be Aborted because of it."

"At present, there are still several competitors for my book, and the project will definitely be delayed because of this. It may be a few years later, or even delayed until the three years since they bought it."

"Should I buy it or not? Then what is the purpose of their buying?" Jiang Hong was a little confused, but quickly reflected, "You mean, their choice is to occupy the latrine and not shit? No matter whether they want to shoot or not, they will first occupy it." The copyright of the adaptation of this best-selling book, do you want to take it back and talk about it?"

"Even if you spend some money to sell the copyright, you should avoid being bet by other companies to make money? Isn't this harming others and benefiting oneself?"

Xu He nodded again and again, "That's right, it's a good thing for their company that they have taken over, but it's a big problem for the copyright of my novel. In the next few years, as the popularity of novels gradually decreases, I will lose all the advantages of competing with other film and television drama projects."

"Of course, this is just one of them. After all, my novel may not be published, and it may be filmed in the end, but..."

He continued to explain.

"However, it doesn't mean that you can turn the novel into a script and shoot it directly after being selected. The screenwriter and the film studio will do a second adaptation. I have carefully asked people in the industry to inquire about it, especially the one who wrote a book with me before and was also in this company. A brother who sold the copyright..."

"He told me that the plot of the original novel of his has been changed into a mess and beyond recognition. I don't know whether it's because of the company or the screenwriter, but in short... I suddenly lost my mind when I heard this."

Xu He sighed again: "Anyway, I really can't bear to see the novel I worked so hard to write, and I can't bear to see the innocent and lovely story of you two being changed inexplicably and messily."

"It's easy to say about other things, but only for my novels, I really value 120 points. I can't tolerate even a little bit of flaws! So, my idea is, either don't change it, or change it. It’s changed to the original flavor.”

Xu He and Jiang Hong complained for a while, obviously they really had no choice but who to complain about, and they told Jiang Hong apologetically at the end.

"I'm really sorry, Lao Jiang, you are in a special situation right now. I shouldn't bother you with these things. But let me tell you a sad thing. I think the only person around me who can really confide my heart is Rongrong Old Jiang you."

"Don't mind! When I figure it out, I'll go to the hospital to accompany you, so that if you have any difficult things, you can leave it to me."

Xu He wanted to hang up the phone and go out for a few drinks by himself, but he heard Jiang Hong suddenly ask meaningfully:

"Old Xu, to see what you mean, do you most want to be the screenwriter of your own novel adaptation drama?"

Xu He thought he was just asking this casually, so he raised his head and thought for a while, "Screenwriting...the industry seems to be quite deep, and I haven't tried to understand it. But I feel that this kind of thing should be easy to understand. If there is such a Opportunity, I don’t mind learning from a screenwriter to try it myself, it’s much better to write the script by myself than to let others make random changes!”

He himself is not a person who particularly likes to pour bitter water, and when the topic was diverted, he suddenly became interested, "By the way, Lao Jiang, do you still remember the new book idea I told you two days ago?"

"The one with the ggkf theme? I thought you just thought that one size is one size, and you just said it casually." Jiang Hong felt that he was in a better mood, and shook his head with a smile.

"Then how can it be just a casual talk! Since I dug a lot of money hiding places from Lao Fang that day, and I also saw his collections, I became more and more interested. I plan to learn more about it later. Just look through the materials, and the new book will change to write about the era, so give it a try!"

Xu He spoke seriously.

"While still young, try to get out of your comfort zone, so that you can see the wider world with your own eyes."

"I wish you success." Jiang Hong casually wished and hung up the phone.

Raising his head, Jiang Hong looked at the blue sky in City Z, and dialed Yuan Xi's number.

He told Xu Wan early about finding his biological sister. Xu Wan was very happy when she found out, and immediately brought Yuan Xi home and had a meal together.

After that, every once in a while, she would bring Yuan Xi home to communicate and connect with each other, just like she did with Jiang Lin back then, and now the two have become very good friends. Yuan Xi has now been renovated and has not opened for a long time. Xu Wan provided part of the funds for the psychological clinic.

But with Jiang Lin and his parents, he hadn't figured out what to say.So it is decided that this matter can be taken slowly, and there is no rush.

Yuan Xi also had the same idea, and she didn't tell Jiang Lin yet, because she didn't know how to get along with Jiang Lin after she knew the truth.

Even she, who had always known Jiang Lin better, didn't know how Jiang Lin would react when he found out about this.

After the siblings recognized each other, if Jiang Hong wanted to contact Yuan Xi, he didn't have to think of all kinds of secret strategies and secret codes as before, and he could just make a phone call.

Brothers and sisters who have been separated for many years, and occasionally call to communicate their feelings, Xu Wan will not have anything he thinks, and Xu Wan will feel strange if they have not been in contact.

When the two got along at the beginning, they felt a little strange and awkward.

But it has been such a long time, and the two of them have very similar personalities and a very good understanding, so they have become more and more familiar with each other over time.

So far, there is no sense of strangeness.

The two briefly talked about Xu Wan and her children. Jiang Hong raised his head and changed his voice.

"nice weather."

Yuan Xi on the other side of the phone immediately understood and took out a pen and paper from her desk. "The weather is fine" was the code they agreed upon, which meant - "Notify Guo Tianhang". .

She calmly replied: "There is no one around, so you can talk."

Jiang Hong smiled, "Do you still remember Old Xu? Last time I introduced it to you, he has a problem with the film and television adaptation of a novel in his hand, and he just complained to me for a long time."

He seems to have just picked up a topic at random, but Yuan Xi has automatically translated it into - "The next project, to enter the film and television industry, can start with the film and television copyright adaptation of Xu He's last novel."

……

outside the delivery room.

Jiang Hong sat in the public seat, waiting a little anxiously, rubbing his hands constantly, beads of sweat dripping down his face.

He tried to calm down, but his breathing kept getting heavier.

He originally thought that if he paid some money to the hospital, maybe he, the husband, could go into the delivery room with him, but he didn't expect to be stopped back.

I could only wait outside so hard, I was so nervous that I couldn't speak.

Jiang Guotao and Chen Huifang, Xu Haozheng and Liu Guixiang, Jiang Lin, Fang Rong, and Yuan Xi all gathered together and waited.

There are also a few familiar partners of Xu Wan, waiting at a distance from here.

Sun Tao, Fu Jiahai, Chen Ming, Wu Hao, Yang Fang, and Xu He sat beside Jiang Hong, comforting Jiang Hong constantly.

The family members they brought with them stood a little farther away and did not squeeze over.

I don't know how long it has been, it seems like a century.

The delivery room door opens.

A large group of people gathered around... almost blocked the door.

But soon, they made a gap and let Jiang Hong, who was very unsteady on his feet, walk into the center.

Jiang Hong felt that his mind was blank and his whole body was trembling slightly. He didn't know how to describe his mood.

Excited?excited?Crazy?expect?nervous?Fear?

The feeling is not enough to describe.

This is an emotion that is extremely difficult to describe in words, and it can only be expressed clearly if you have truly felt it.

but……

When he saw Xu Wan's pale and weak face, and saw a small, quiet figure with eyes tightly closed, he felt his whole world suddenly bright and bright.

The empty head was filled with two faces.

There is no room for anything else.

It seems that the whole world only has this scene in front of me...

Suddenly condensed at this moment, in his life, the most gorgeous and wonderful fireworks bloomed.

He took a deep breath of cold air and stretched out his slightly trembling hands.

Xu Wan understood his intention, stretched out a small white hand, and held his hand tightly.

"Husband~" she called softly.

Jiang Hong couldn't hear the cheery "Congratulations" all around him, he could only hear this soft call.

"Thank you, Wanwan."

He said sincerely and excitedly, leaned over and gently embraced the two figures, one big and one small, in his arms, and gave Xu Wan a light kiss on the forehead.

Then he pinched the sleeping figure in Xu Wan's arms, and he said with a smile, "Girl, it looks like you, it seems that I can rest assured~"

Amidst the heated congratulations, the two looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

Today, the two of them are the protagonists.

Behind him, Xu He received a call without a note. He walked to the corner and kept talking on the phone for more than half an hour.

After hanging up the phone, he excitedly stomped on the spot.

In the ward.

Jiang Hong looked around, looking at all kinds of relatives and friends around him, his eye circles turned red silently, he took a long breath, and said seriously:

"My daughter, Jiang Li, was born today."

Outside the window, a ray of evening wind blows.

The time is fixed on September 2017, 9, at 9:[-] in the evening.

……

……

……

A blink of an eye.

Time flies, time waits for no one.

It has been ten years since Jiang Hong and Xu Wan received their certificates.

Huasheng Liyuan 1-2102.

Jiang Hong turned on the phone and glanced at the date subconsciously.

2026 10 Month 2 Day.

National Day holiday.

On the eve of the tenth anniversary of Jiang Hong and Xu Wan.

Jiang Hong hugged Xu Wan who was beside him, and gently leaned into her ear, "Honey, it's time to get up~"

Xu Wan smiled and opened her eyes.Before she could speak, a small round head and a cute smiling face squeezed out from between the two quilts.

A few days after her ninth birthday, her daughter Jiang Li blinked her glazed eyes and said with a smile.

"Father~Mom~, are you still in bed?"

Another small head squeezed out, revealing a chubby little face. Jiang Yu, the son who was three years younger than Jiang Li, wrinkled his pink and jade-carved face slightly.

"Father, mother, can I not go to grandpa's house today? I don't want to learn how to cook..."

Jiang Hong and Xu Wan looked at each other with smiles.

His eyes were full of unstoppable affection.

Outside the window, the sun is shining brightly.

A family of four jumped out of bed.

Jiang Hong opened the curtains and couldn't help looking out the window.

It's been ten years!

Time flies so fast...

At this moment, Jiang Hong turned his head and heard the doorbell ring.

He moved his eyes and shouted:

"Xiao Liuli, Xiao Yu'er, open the door for Auntie!"
