Chapter 186: Caught off guard

After Dadan's death, it took more than a week for him to be buried because he died in a foreign land and his body had to be transported to his hometown, which was a troublesome matter.
His sister hid far away, and although other members of the same clan did not want to do anything, the Li family still wanted to face the problem. After all, everyone gathered together to discuss for several days and pooled some money before taking Dadan back.
Hongzi cried a lot at the funeral, but he had no idea about death. Dadan died a long time ago, and he often went to elementary school to bully the children. Maybe he thought Dadan would jump out like a hero and run away.
He is a bad guy.
One month after the funeral, several brothers from the Li family went to Dadan's house to drive away Sister Dadan's family.
His sister's registered permanent residence had been moved long ago, and Da Dan didn't help with the funeral. So she suffered a loss both emotionally and rationally, and was kicked out without resistance for a long time.
After my sister's family left, the land and property became public property. However, the Li family was very powerful in the village, so they discussed collecting the property and the land and sharing it equally with other families.
Something happened at this point, and no matter how it was divided, some people complained. Originally, various families had accumulated a lot of grievances over the years, but this matter suddenly broke out. Two families took the lead, and other families cheered. This happened once
Fighting with weapons.
Several people were injured, and the matter suddenly became a big deal. A group of people were imprisoned, and the Li family's private embezzlement of public property was implicated.
Everyone pushed against the wall. There were so many Li family members that others didn't dare to offend him, but it was easy to make enemies. When something happened this time, many people stepped on him.
Later, some people said that the old Taoist back then was a real god, and he was right. After three generations of the Li family, there were only three generations.
Others said that when the Li family members were taken away by the police station, an old man passed by in the village and sang a few words:
A tall building has been erected for hundreds of years and collapsed in an instant. It prospered for three generations to the west and declined in one day to the east. Don't ask about the past, only count the people in the future.
It sounded like a limerick, but some people believed it and even made an analysis, blaming Dadan for the downfall of the Li family, saying that he should not have disrespected the teachings of his ancestors and had to go to Shanghai to work.
Later, two sunflowers grew in front of Dadan's grave, one facing east and the other facing west.

In Yu Dong's novel, of course, it is not only the story of Dadan, but also many family disputes, including who stole whose wife, who adopted whose child...
Absurdity and comedy run through the history of the Li family.
Once you get started, writing becomes very fast. Even if you still have work, Yu Dong writes more than 10,000 words a day on average.
The book was written until the end of April, and the draft was released, totaling 360,000 words.
Even if you include the two months of brewing, it only lasts for more than three months.
It took more than three months to complete a novel of 360,000 words. Anyone who comes here will be impressed by the extremely high efficiency.
Yu Dong himself was also surprised. He originally thought it would take at least half a year.
When he wrote "The Last City" before, although it was also very fast, because he had done a lot of preparations and had references, he naturally wrote it very quickly. But this time it was different. This time it was completely new.
work.
While writing, he had a strange feeling, as if the book was already there but was hidden in a warehouse. Now the warehouse suddenly opened and he easily took the book out.
However, the work is not over yet. The draft is not the final draft, and there are still many areas that need to be revised.
Of course, there is no need to rush now, all the stories have been written, and the rest will be much easier.
However, just when he was about to put down his pen and relax for a while, a big news broke in China.
"The movie adaptation of "One Day" has a box office of over 100 million US dollars, winning the North American annual box office championship!"
This news is actually a bit of a trick, because this year has only passed a third of the year, and there is no way to determine the annual box office champion at this time. But the content of the news is factual. At least in the first four months, "Groundhog Day" was the box office champion.
champion.
And it doesn't matter whether he is the champion or not at this time. The word "100 million US dollars" is already exciting enough as soon as it comes out.
Chinese people don’t know much about the box office in North America, and they don’t know what the box office level of 100 million US dollars is in North America. However, 100 million US dollars is too much for ordinary people in China. It’s so much that they can’t even think of how much it is.
.
Based on the exchange rate, 100 million U.S. dollars converted into RMB is 50-600 million yuan, but in reality, it is basically impossible to exchange 500 million to 600 million RMB yuan for 100 million U.S. dollars.
If done well, one hundred million US dollars can be exchanged for nearly one billion RMB.
Assuming a person's annual salary of 2,000 yuan, it would take 500,000 people to earn that much money in a year.
If you think about it this way, it's too scary.
So as soon as this news came out, it quickly caused a sensation in the country.
Who is Yu Dong?
What kind of book is "One Day"?
When they saw this news, the happiest people were none other than Yang Xiao. To them, this was like a huge piece of pie falling from the sky and hitting them directly on the forehead, making them feel dizzy.
of.
Yang Xiao responded quickly and issued three instructions that day.
First, print 50,000 more copies of "The Last City".
Second, modify the cover of the next issue of the magazine.
Third, contact Jimmy and prepare to publish the "One Day" novel collection.
When Yu Dong saw this news, he was also surprised. He didn't expect that "Groundhog Day" would really break the 100 million box office record. I remember a few days ago, Jimmy said that the box office was stuck at more than 90 million.
Not going.
It may be that word-of-mouth exploded in the end, or Columbia Company rushed to promote it, or it may even be that they themselves rushed the box office.
When Yu Dong first saw the news, he subconsciously thought it was Jimmy who operated it, but then he thought it was unlikely. If it was Jimmy who operated it, he should have been prepared long ago, and it was definitely not just this piece of news.
Last time, Jimmy said that it would be brewing for a while. When the sales volume of "Resident Evil" increases again, the two news will be released together, and the effect will be better.
Moreover, Jimmy is also planning to negotiate the "One Day" novel collection before putting it into operation. As soon as the news comes out, the book will be sold.
Now that the news has come out earlier, Jimmy has become passive.

In fact, Yu Dong's guess was correct.
When Jimmy saw the news, he immediately cursed.
He originally planned to release news after a period of time when everything was ready, which would be much easier.
Now, he has to hurry up and talk about the "One Day" novel collection, and then he has to rush out the news about "Resident Evil" and promote public opinion. This will also make it easier to operate the Chinese version of "Resident Evil" later.
