She Only Cares About Cultivation-Chapter 1018 - 869: Super Star 43 (Second Update)

The graduating class only gets one day off for May 1st, then jumps into even more hellish review sessions, with endless exams and relentless drilling, just like the state of a senior in high school. Hua Yan even thinks the high school entrance exam is more brutal than the college entrance exam, because it means fifty percent won’t make it to high school, and there’s no repeating the year. But the college entrance exam is different—you can at least try again next year if you don’t do well this year. The high school entrance exam is a one-shot deal; no one can afford to be careless.

Being able to get into high school means you’ve already beaten fifty percent of the people. But if you can get into university, you’ve beaten thirty percent more. If you can get into a 985/211 school, it means you’ve reached the top of the pyramid, becoming part of the ten percent of excellent talent.

Hua Yan never believes in free meals; she only knows that the amount you give is equal to the amount you receive.

Life in the third year of junior high is just as dull as senior year of high school, but fortunately, the more exercises she does, the better she can regain her memory and feel increasingly confident.

Meanwhile, the third-year junior high students who only rest for one day on weekends also need to use their weekends to find Liang An for script revisions. He indeed found two industry-reliable screenwriters to work with her, the original author, to transform the alternate era into at least a dynastic period with a name and identity, then adapt according to that dynasty’s historical trajectory. Only in this way can the costumes and sets align with the characteristics of the contemporary period—a complete process where nothing can be overlooked.

As a result, Hua Yan learned a lot of substantial experiences from this that cannot be acquired from books or even the internet. She has even developed a strong interest in the screenwriting profession, considering whether she should find some time to research this specialty thoroughly, and see if she could earn a certificate as a graduate student someday to prove her professionalism in this field.

Due to her young age and lack of life experience, even if she successfully wrote a novel, she is still nothing in the eyes of screenwriters. Many of her suggestions were often ignored, clearly indicating she wasn’t taken seriously, which she somewhat understands—but since she laid the foundation for the script, she won’t allow them to strip her title as one of the screenwriters no matter how much they leverage their age and experience.

Her busy schedule led her to neglect Ning Hao’s family of three. Fortunately, the guy has now grown into a highly self-sufficient person—cooking his own meals when she comes home late, doing his laundry, and tidying up the house. He has completely transformed into a household warm guy, which is why Hua Yan now has so much free time.

Although she still doesn’t attend evening self-study, every day after school, Liang An would pick her up to the company to discuss matters until nine o’clock, then send her home to do her homework. By ten o’clock, the transformation issue becomes a hassle, hindering many activities and making her time even tighter.

As time quickly advances into June, there’s only 20 days left before the middle school entrance exam, while Ning Hao’s graduation exam also only has about ten days left. The sibling duo is facing graduation exams simultaneously, with their meal times and quality continually declining, aiming to create more time for revision.

No matter how busy she is, Hua Yan would always make time to help Ning Hao grasp the key points, striving for him to be recommended for Four Middle School exams with excellent grades so he won’t have to go through the lottery system. Of course, the so-called lottery only targets ordinary students, while truly outstanding students are targets for other key middle schools. Therefore, it’s highly possible that before the lottery, these excellent students go to take entrance exams for good schools.

The more outstanding you are, the more people want you—just like when Hua Yan was entering middle school. Quite a few schools extended olive branches to her, but she opted for Four Middle School for its proximity, although Ren Da Middle School and Beijing University Affiliated Middle School were also exceptionally top-notch.

At the start of June, the script was finally completely organized. Meanwhile, Liang An began negotiating the online novel script adaptation contract with the company where Hua Yan’s novel resides. During this period, the website would also call to seek her opinion, although this is just going through the motions—the actual price is decided by the website.

Moreover, authors barely make any money from web novel film adaptation rights; it’s only between one hundred thousand to a million unless the web flow is exceptionally explosive, only then the price would rise. So, she doesn’t expect too much money for herself, because regardless of how much is distributed, the website always earns the most, while small authors remain at the bottom of the pyramid eternally.
