Back to high school, Peking University is beckoning me

Chapter 179 Extra 7——Pan Lanfei

For Pan Xiaomei, Lu Youning is not only a good friend to her, but also the person who pulled her out of the quagmire.

If it weren't for Lu Youning, her life might have ended at an age when it was just beginning.

Little sister, little sister, it sounds like the parents don’t care about her and just gave her a name casually.

In her first year of high school, Pan Xiaomei's mother listened to the instigation of her relatives from her natal family. In addition, she had a deep-rooted patriarchal mentality and felt that it was useless for girls to read so many books.

After discussing with Pan’s father, they decided to let Pan Xiaomei drop out of school and go to work in another place.

At that time, Pan Xiaomei fell into despair and even had thoughts of committing suicide. Fortunately, Lu Youning finally persuaded her.

So, Pan Xiaomei became Pan Lanfei.

She witnessed the changes in Lu Youning with her own eyes. Lu Youning used to be very quiet and shy. She studied hard in class, but also loved to play on weekends.

But since entering high school, Lu Youning has changed completely. He has clear goals and is much more confident.

She wanted to learn from Lu Youning, and from then on, she devoted all her time to studying and also worked part-time jobs to earn money during the summer vacation.

Later, it was Lu Youning who asked her to try writing novels to make money and taught her how to write.

When she received her first payment for her writing, she cried with excitement. She was now able to make money.

At school, she dared not neglect her studies and could only conceive of her novel half an hour before going to bed, and then go home to the Internet cafe to write on weekends.

An income of one to two thousand a month is already very good for her.

After the college entrance examination, Pan Lanfei was admitted to the key university - Zhejiang University with excellent results.

Pan's mother said coldly, "Since you've already been admitted to university, you can take out a loan for your tuition. I'll give you 1,000 yuan, and you can find a way to earn your living expenses in the future."

"Don't blame me and your father. We will all rely on your brother for our retirement. Our money is for your brother to buy a house and get married."

Mr. Pan sat aside without saying a word, obviously they had discussed it long ago.

Pan Lanfei lowered her head and said nothing more. As expected, their son was their treasure.

Fortunately, she secretly earned some money by writing novels, which was enough to cover her college living expenses.

So she went to Zhejiang University alone to register.

College life is completely different from high school life. There is a rich campus life and various clubs here.

In order to train herself, Pan Lanfei joined the Propaganda Department and quickly integrated into university life.

When she doesn’t have classes, Pan Lanfei goes to the library or a cafe near the school and finds a quiet corner to write.

During her sophomore year, her loving grandfather passed away.

Since then, she rarely returned to L City, and she had a ready-made excuse to work during the winter and summer vacations to earn a living.

As his writing skills matured, Pan Lanfei's works gained a lot of readers on the Internet.

Her royalties were increasing, and luckily, the film and television rights to her novels were sold.

Finally, before his senior year internship, he bought his own house in Hangzhou. Although the house is not big, only 90 square meters, it is enough for Pan Lanfei.

Pan Lanfei did not pursue graduate studies and decided to devote herself to writing full-time after graduation.

After finishing a novel, she would travel around to relax and find new inspiration.

When the film and television rights to her second novel were sold, the producers invited her to be a screenwriter consultant and participate in the film and television adaptation.

This was a brand new challenge and opportunity for Pan Lanfei. Coincidentally, she recently wanted to write an article about the entertainment industry, and this was a good opportunity to see how the crew worked on the set, so she readily agreed.

The adapted novel is an ancient romance novel, and the general content is that the heroine travels back to the body of a concubine's daughter in ancient times. In order to survive better, the heroine pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, secretly develops her career, and finally finds a good match.

The direction of the adaptation is towards a strong female lead, and there are many places that need to be changed.

Pan Lanfei is not the chief screenwriter, nor is she a professional screenwriter. To put it bluntly, she is just using the title to make it easier for readers and fans to accept her.

Despite this, she still cooperated very well with the editor-in-chief and gave some small suggestions when the editor asked for her opinion.

The TV series adapted from the novel started filming in Hengdian, and the heroine is played by the little-known post-90s actress - Su Wanning.

In recent years, Su Wanning has been on a strong momentum and her career has been advancing by leaps and bounds.

From honing her acting skills in various dramas in the early days to successfully becoming a top star with several hit dramas, Su Wan Ning relies not only on her outstanding appearance, but also on her incisive portrayal of the characters.

It can be said that the quality of a drama with Su Wanning in it is guaranteed.

After several years of accumulation, Pan Lanfei's book fans are now no less than those of third-tier artists.

When book fans learned that Su Wanning would play the heroine, they all went to Weibo to leave messages.

"Su Wan Ning is playing the female lead, this drama is a sure thing! My Yan Yu's novel is finally going to be treated properly."

"Sister's acting is impeccable. It all depends on how the script is adapted. Don't ruin the original."

"I'm looking forward to my sister's interpretation of this concubine's daughter who pretends to be a pig but eats the tiger. It will definitely be very exciting."

On the other hand, Pan Lanfei also received an invitation to visit the crew.

She was both nervous and excited. After all, this was a drama adapted from her own novel, and she would soon see the characters in the book come alive before her eyes.

When Pan Lanfei arrived in Hengdian and just joined the crew, she felt the busy and orderly atmosphere.

Staff members came and went, and the props were being arranged intensively.

After greeting the screenwriter, Pan Lanfei found a random place to watch.

After a while, Su Wanning came over. She smiled and took the initiative to greet him, "You must be Master Yanyu. I've heard a lot about you. I like your novel very much. I will interpret it well."

Pan Lanfei was flattered and said quickly, "Teacher Su, I have long heard of your name. It is my honor to have you play the female lead."

The two chatted briefly and then Su Wanning went to put on makeup.

Soon, Yu Luobai, who played the male lead, also arrived at the scene.

Yu Luobai is a new generation actor who has emerged in the film and television industry in recent years. He has outstanding appearance and solid acting skills, and has attracted much attention.

The first day of filming went smoothly. After finishing work in the evening, the director treated all the main creative staff to a midnight snack, and Pan Lanfei was also invited to join.

At the dinner table, everyone else was talking animatedly, but Pan Lanfei was unfamiliar with anyone, so she just sat in the corner and ate quietly.

When the assistant director saw Pan Lanfei was alone, he pulled her to drink and put his arm around her shoulders. Pan Lanfei couldn't refuse and drank two glasses.

Yu Luobai caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of his eye, frowned slightly, and then looked away as if nothing had happened.

Pan Lanfei had drunk alcohol before, at a department party at university, but her alcohol tolerance was average, so she hurriedly left on the pretext of going to the bathroom.

When coming out of the bathroom, Pan Lanfei met Yu Luobai who was smoking at the bathroom door.

She was slightly startled, then quickly nodded and said, "Hello, Teacher Yu!"

Just as they passed by, Yu Luobai's deep voice came to my ears, "That assistant director is not a good person. If you don't want to be drunk, find a chance to leave."

Pan Lanfei subconsciously stopped and looked back at Yu Luobai.

The man stood tall and straight, with indifference between his eyebrows and eyes. In the swirling smoke, his outline seemed even deeper.

Their eyes met, and Yu Luobai raised his chin slightly, indicating that she should do as he said.

Pan Lanfei felt a surge of warmth and gratitude in her heart, and whispered, "Thank you, Teacher Yu. I know what to do now. Goodbye!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Yu Luobai looked at Pan Lanfei's back as she left, gently pinched out the cigarette butt between his fingers, and then left.

(End of the article)

(This is the author's first novel. It took 113 days to write, and I wrote nearly 400,000 words. I didn't expect to write so much. I originally planned to write 300,000 words.

Although my writing is average and my style is poor, I didn't ask for leave, didn't interrupt the series, and didn't abandon it during the period of serialization, so I am very satisfied with myself.

I have also seen your comments. Thank you for your encouragement. I hope you are happy every day!

As expected, everyone likes this book. Please give it a good review.

Dear readers, we meet by chance and we will see each other again.
