Backtracking to the Age of Literature and Art

Chapter 316 Brother Yunlong

The next morning, Yu Dong and the others took the bus to Shanghai.

The road conditions were not very good, the car walked very slowly, and it was not until four o'clock in the afternoon that we arrived at the place.

At the beginning, the students were quite excited and chatted enthusiastically in the car, but then they became exhausted after chatting.

Zhao Baogang was on the scene and sent two staff members to pick him up.

The staff first took them to the dormitory to put down their luggage, and then went straight to the scene.

The students were very excited when they heard that it was being filmed. They took the car all the way, just for this moment, they never expected to experience the filming scene so soon.

But when they arrived at the place, they had already called it a day.

Before they cried out in disappointment, Yu Dong said with a smile, "What are you doing in a daze, go and help them collect their things."

Zhao Baogang also happened to come over, "No, the children have had a hard journey, so don't torment them."

Hearing Zhao Baogang's words, the students nodded frantically, and at the same time cast grateful glances at Zhao Baogang. Director Zhao is a very good person.

Yu Dong nodded with a smile, "Listen to Director Zhao, don't you thank Teacher Zhao?"

"Thank you Teacher Zhao." The students said in unison.

Zhao Baogang had given lessons to the students of the drama department before, and he had seen all the students who came today, and he still had a deep impression on some of them.

"Since you're here, you can rest easy. Let me give you a vaccination. Don't think too much about the life of the crew, or you will find it boring and have a psychological gap. It's not a good thing."

"Understood, Mr. Zhao."

"Director Zhao, don't worry, I gave them psychological training before coming here. If there is a psychological gap, it's because your crew has treated them too well." Zhang Xian said with a smile.

"Haha, then I really have to be strict with them."

Zhao Baogang squinted his eyes and smiled, and was about to continue, when Feng Yuanqi walked over, and he introduced the others, "This is the leading actor of our play, Feng Yuanqi."

"Hello, Teacher Feng."

"Hello, classmates." Feng Yuanqian smiled and looked at Yu Dong, "This is Teacher Yu Dong."

"That's right, I'm Yu Dong. Hello, Teacher Feng." Yu Dong took the initiative to shake hands with Feng Yuanqian, and then introduced him, "This is Zhang Xian, the director of our drama department."

"Hi, Director Zhang."

"This is my lover Cheng Yanqiu, who is also a teacher at the Conservatory of Music."

"Hello, Teacher Cheng."

After greeting each other, Zhao Baogang waved, "Students, go and play by yourself. Let's go inside and chat while walking."

The students had wanted to look around for a long time, and now they got the promise, they couldn't wait to disperse.

Zhao Baogang led Yu Dong and the others inside, and said with a smile, "It's an unlucky time for you to come. If you had come one day earlier, Teacher Gu would be here."

"Which Teacher Gu?" Yu Dong asked.

"Teacher Gu Changwei." Zhao Baogang pointed to Jiang Wenli who was not far away, "Isn't this lady coming to film a movie, he came here as an escort."

Yu Dong smiled. He knew that Gu Changwei and Jiang Wenli were husband and wife, but he didn't know when they got married. He didn't expect to get married so early.Yu Dong looked at the information before, and Jiang Wenli had just graduated for two years.

Gu Changwei is known as the number one photographer in China. In the past few years, he has been in charge of "Red Sorghum", "Ju Dou" and "Farewell My Concubine", winning many photography awards.

Speaking of which, Yu Dong has some connection with him, because when "Soft Knife" was filmed, Gu Changwei was the main photographer of the film, but the two have never met.

Jiang Wenli just finished her work, and when she saw Zhao Baogang and the others here, she ran over with a smile on her face.She is in her 20s now, and her appearance belongs to the plump type, so in order to fit the character, she put on some makeup, making her look a little haggard.

"Wen Li, you came just in time, let me introduce you."

Zhao Baogang introduced them again, and Jiang Wenli said with a smile, "I have been looking forward to seeing you since I knew that this play was written by Teacher Yu. My old Gu and I are both your loyal readers. I also went when Lao Gu filmed "Soft Knife", but I didn't have a chance to meet you."

Jiang Wenli is very cheerful, although it is the first time they meet, they seem very familiar.Compared to her, Feng Yuanqian is much more restrained. He just said a few words when they introduced each other, but he hasn't spoken since then.

Of course, this is also the advantage of women. Even if you take the initiative, it is difficult to make people feel aggressive.

Jiang Wenli is also very smart. After praising Yu Dong, she looked at Cheng Yanqiu again, "When I walked over just now, I was thinking, which actress is this again? I thought, I must have an impression of such a beautiful actress That's right, I didn't expect it to be Teacher Yu Dong's lover, you two are really talented and beautiful."

It's normal for Cheng Yanqiu to be praised for her beauty. Of course, she also knew that Jiang Wenli's words were more polite, so she smiled and said, "You look better in real life than on TV."

Complimenting the appearance of female celebrities, this sentence alone is enough.

Jiang Wenli was also very happy when she heard that, "Hey, what's so good-looking, I put on makeup on purpose today in order to look miserable, and I almost didn't dare to come over to meet people just now."

The implication is that if it is not for makeup, it can look better.

Cheng Yanqiu smiled, and didn't pick up the quarrel, Zhao Baogang said with a smile: "Yes, Wen Li is so radiant and beautiful, sometimes she has to make her complexion darker, of course the main thing is that Wen Li can act, otherwise no amount of makeup will help .”

At this moment, the on-site staff began to leave, and Zhao Baogang said again, "Let's introduce others when they have dinner at night. Now, Wen Li, you go back and clean up, and we will have dinner together later. Teacher Yu Dong, Teacher Cheng, Teacher Zhang, we Let's go first too."

Yu Dong and the others nodded, and followed Zhao Baogang out. As soon as they reached the corridor, a handsome young man who was about the same age as Yu Dong came across, but his complexion was much darker.

Seeing him, Zhao Baogang said with a smile, "I just told you where you went. Didn't you clamor to see Mr. Yu Dong? When someone came, you disappeared."

The young man said with a sneer: "I have a little stomachache, so I went to the bathroom."

Then he recognized Yu Dong at a glance, "Hello, Teacher Yu Dong, I am Xi Yunlong, and I am also your book fan."

Yu Dong raised his eyebrows. He felt familiar when he saw the other party just now, but when he heard the voice, he immediately recognized it as Yu Yunlong.This voice was also the one that answered the phone before, and Yu Dong felt the voice was familiar at that time.

Xi Yunlong was thinner and darker than later, but the feeling when he laughed was exactly the same.

It's just that Yu Dong was a little puzzled, because there was no Yunlong in the list of actors Zhao Baogang gave him before.

As if he could guess what Yu Dong was thinking, Zhao Baogang explained, "Yunlong is playing An Jiamu. Xu Yajun, who was previously appointed, couldn't come because of personal reasons, so he changed to Yunlong."

Xi Yunlong laughed, "I came on the bench."

"Yunlong is a great kid. He went into business by himself and made a lot of money. It was not easy for me to invite him to act." Zhao Baogang laughed.

"Director Zhao, don't make fun of me. I'm just busy. Now that the policy on the coast is about to change, I can't get along with it. If I want to come back and develop, it's Director Zhao who gave me the opportunity."

"To put it that way, you have to thank Wen Li for recommending you."

"Yes, yes, thank you, Senior Sister."

Xi Yunlong and Jiang Wenli both graduated from the Acting Department of Yanjing Film Academy, one class behind the other.Both of them are well-known in school for their looks, and Yunlong was admitted to the school with full marks for both image and major.

It's just that the two people with the same outstanding appearance have taken different paths.

In the past two years, the requirement for male actors in China is not to be too tender, so Yunlong did not catch up with the good times and suffered a loss of image. No director is willing to ask him to act.

This time Jiang Wenli recommended it. If it wasn't for Xi Yunlong's tanning in the south, Zhao Baogang might not be able to use it.

After a few words, Zhao Baogang took Yu Dong and the others to a nearby hotel, while Jiang Wenli went back to his residence first.

On the way, Yu Dong specially chatted with Yunlong and Feng Yuanqian for a few more words.Mr. Feng didn't talk much, and Xi Yunlong didn't talk too much, but probably because he had done business, he had to be more open-minded.

After chatting for a while, Yu Dong also probably knew about the current situation of Yunlong. This guy wholesales electrical appliances in the south and runs an advertising company. He must have made some money. Now that he is back, his wife is still guarding the business there.

Later, Yunlong, because he directed and acted in many spy war dramas including "The Conspiracy" and "Kite", some fans called him "the father of spy war dramas".

And Yunlong in front of him, although he has a calmness beyond his age, he still can't see the appearance of "the father of spy war drama".Seeing Yunlong, Yu Dong thought of Mai Jia, the author of "Assassination". At this moment, Mai Jia didn't know if he had graduated from military arts, but his spy war trilogy should have to wait for a few years.

Zhao Baogang also noticed that Yu Dong was very interested in Feng Yuanqian and Liu Yunlong, so Feng Yuanqi would not mention it, no matter what the reason was, after all, it was Yu Dong's hand-picked protagonist at that time.

But this brat, Yunlong, has never acted in a movie after graduation, so how could he get Yu Dong's attention?
Xi Yunlong himself is quite strange, Yu Dong is now well-known in the country, both in the book industry and in the film and television industry, so he shouldn't pay so much attention to himself.

Of course, Yunlong was also very happy to receive Yu Dong's attention. He said that his book fans were not a lie, and he liked several of Yu Dong's works very much.Especially the "Fatal Identity" that was serialized in "Sprout" before, he bought it regularly, and even cut out the serialized part to make it into a book, and read it when he was free.

For this reason, during dinner at night, Xie Yunlong asked Yu Dong to drink a few times.He didn't force Yu Dong to drink too much, he drank six or seven yuan cups every time he came over.

Afterwards, I probably got dizzy from drinking too much. I held Yu Dong's hand and said, "Brother Yu, your writing is really good. But with your looks, it's a good thing that you didn't become an actor, otherwise you would belong to the flawed category."

After drinking, Liu Yunlong became more interesting when he finished speaking, and he squinted his eyes when he spoke, with a kind of smile that was not a smile.He himself said this because he was too handsome and was defined as "a flawed image".

Yu Dong smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Brother Yunlong."

Seeing that Yunlong was drunk, Jiang Wenli thought that she was a senior sister, so she wanted to come over and pull him. Suddenly, when she heard Yu Dong reply, she burst out laughing, "Teacher Yu, you are so humorous. Yunlong drank too much." , I can't speak in tune, don't mind."

Yu Dong smiled and waved his hands, "It's okay, brother Yunlong is also true."

In fact, Yu Yunlong is a few days younger than Yu Dong. Yu Dong is at the end of March, and Yi Yunlong is at the beginning of April. The difference is a week, but Yu Dongting likes to call him Brother Yunlong, which is very interesting.

This made him think of "Bright Sword" again, he thought, the original book of "Bright Sword" hasn't come out yet, but they still have to let the rest of them collect all the books that have come out.

In the past two years, the private film and television company is still in the stage of testing the water, and no one knows when it will really open up, but Yu Dong himself is pinching the timetable.In at most three years, they will have to complete the preliminary work, and when the follow-up opportunity comes out, they can rush in and fight without making any adjustments.

What private companies lack the most is actually professional talents. Everyone has money, but any company that can cooperate with a professional team can quickly produce good works, take the lead in seizing the market, and finally stand out.

So what Deep Space Company has to do now is to continuously create well-known IPs, and then recruit talents from all walks of life, ready to go, find the right opportunities, and soar into the sky.

This is also the reason why Yu Dong handed "Can't Talk to Strangers" to Zhao Baogang. He is watching these well-known producers in China.Now that there is cooperation, everything behind is easy to talk about.

For dinner at night, not only Yu Dong and the others, but also other actors of the crew and Jin Yi's students, but everyone else was in another big box.

Although Ruan Xiaohu was not a student, he stayed with the students all the time, including when eating.

Zhang Xian originally meant to bring Ruan Xiaohu with them to the table and introduce him to Zhao Baogang. After all, Ruan Xiaohu is also a writer.

But Ruan Xiaohu himself refused. Regarding Ruan Xiaohu's decision, Yu Dong, the teacher, didn't say anything, and let him go.

In order to allow the students and crew to integrate quickly, the personnel on both sides were separated and divided into two tables.

Coincidentally, there was a girl sitting next to Ruan Xiaohu.

The girl's name is Li Yu, she is a student of the Acting Department of the Shanghai Theater Academy, and she will be a junior in the next semester.

Li Yu has a sweet appearance and a cheerful personality. He chatted happily with Jinyi's students. When he saw Ruan Xiaohu who was next to him, he kept silent, so he smiled and said, "Student, don't just eat with your head down. Let's chat, you Is it from the directing department or from the drama creation?"

Before Ruan Xiaohu could speak, Wang Hailin who was on the opposite side said, "He is neither from the director department nor created by us."

Li Yu was stunned, "Didn't you say that the two majors who came here this time are directing and drama creation?"

Another Jinyi student said, "Xiaohu is Teacher Yu's student."

These words made Li Yu even more confused. Aren't all the students present here are Teacher Yu Dong's students?The fact that he is Teacher Yu's student should be brought up separately?
Seeing her doubts, Wang Hailin explained, "Xiaohu is different from us, he is a direct disciple of Teacher Yu."

Li Yu looked at Ruan Xiaohu curiously, "Your gold art still has such a tradition, and you also accept direct disciples."

"Yes, only Xiaohu can get the inheritance from Teacher Yu and inherit what Teacher Yu has learned all his life."

Seeing that their words became more and more outrageous, Ruan Xiaohu coughed lightly and said, "That's not the case. I'm a teacher's student, but I'm not a direct disciple."

Li Yu still didn't understand, "Then what did you learn from Teacher Yu Dong?"

"Learning to be a writer, you don't know, Xiaohu is a writer, and he published a novel in "Harvest" a few days ago." Wang Hailin said.

"Wow, so you are a writer." Li Yu said in surprise. She doesn't usually read "Harvest", but she also knows the weight of this magazine. "They call you Xiaohu, is that your nickname?"

Ruan Xiaohu shook his head, "No, my name is Ruan Xiaohu."

"Then how old are you? You look younger than me. What's the name of the novel you wrote? I'll buy a copy of "Harvest" later to take a look. I thought Mr. Yu Dong was already young, but I didn't expect you to be so young." Little is a writer..."

Li Yu is a typical northern girl with a passionate personality. Ruan Xiaohu has never seen this kind of battle before. Seeing her keep approaching, he could only retreat steadily. The others at the same table looked at Ruan Xiaohu's flushed face and found it very interesting.

……

After dinner, Yu Dong greeted the students, then pulled Ruan Xiaohu aside, and gave some instructions.

"You are different from other people. You don't need to be stuck in the crew every day. You can go around when you have nothing to do. I don't have time for these two days. When I come back from outside with your mistress, I will take you to my house to play..."

In the middle of speaking, Yu Dong felt that Ruan Xiaohu was a little absent-minded, so he asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Ruan Xiaohu shook his head quickly, "It's okay, it's okay, tell me, teacher."

Yu Dong didn't ask any further questions, nodded and continued, "I'll take you to the Shanghai Writers' Association, where they all work for "Harvest". Your editor-in-charge, Wang Yu, was also my editor-in-charge before. Then I will take you to visit him."

"Okay, teacher."

Yu Dong smiled, "There is nothing else to say. You have not little social experience. I believe you can take good care of yourself."

After explaining to Ruan Xiaohu, Yu Dong and Cheng Yanqiu went home by car.

The two spent two days of leisure at home, and Yu Dong didn't send invitations. He planned to send them with Ruan Xiaohu when he came back to the Writers' Association next time.

At that time, not only the Writers Association will send it, but also Ge ​​Fei, Sun Ganlu, and Tian Weizhang who met at Liu Jiang's wedding last time.

……

When the couple arrived in Rongcheng, Yang Xiao personally came to pick them up.

Watching Yang Xiao walking towards them from a distance, Yu Dong smiled and said to Cheng Yanqiu, "You still have a lot of face, I have been here for a few years, and she never came to pick me up."

"Isn't that?"

The two talked, smiled and walked towards Yang Xiao. When they got to the front, Yang Xiao opened his mouth first, "Teacher Cheng, do you still remember me?"

Cheng Yanqiu responded with a smile: "Of course, if it wasn't for President Yang, I still wouldn't be able to enter the auditorium that year."

"Hey, don't call me President Yang, just like Yu Dong, call me Sister Xiao. These two days, I happen to be relatively free, and when I finish my work, I will accompany you to stroll around Rongcheng. Speaking of which, I have always told Yu Dong to take him well. Eat the local specialties of Rongcheng, but it has not been implemented on the ground."

Cheng Yanqiu glanced at Yu Dong, and said to Yang Xiao, "He also said on the way here that he must stay for a few more days this time to take a good look around Rongcheng."

"You have to take a good look around. Rongcheng is not an ordinary place for the two of you. I remember that at that time, you followed Yu Dong all the way here..."

Cheng Yanqiu hurriedly explained, "Sister Xiao, I was going to see the Galaxy Awards."

"Yes, yes, it's not for Yu Dong at all to come to see the awards. I understand, let's go, let's go to the hotel, and everyone else has already arrived." Yang Xiao took the lead and walked forward with a smile, saying at the same time, " This year's award ceremony is even bigger, because a manga award is added, and Niu Erfang and the others are also here."

Yu Dong nodded. He knew about this a long time ago, so it was not surprising.

"Also." Yang Xiao continued, "This year we also invited some people from the film and television industry. I think that if there is an opportunity in the future, we can also open some film and television awards."

It has to be said that after getting rich, Yang Xiao and the others began to think more.Also influenced by Jimmy's industrialization concept, Yang Xiao and the others wanted to develop the Galaxy Award from a pure literary award to a comprehensive platform that focuses on the development of the entire industry.

Joining the Manga Awards this time is a good attempt.

"Who else is here in the film and television industry? I only know that Director Feng Xiaoning is here."

"There is also director Ye Weimin from Xiangjiang, he came to promote the new movie "The Variety Star", and he also brought the heroine of the movie Liang Yongqi."

"Zhou Xingchi didn't come?" Yu Dong asked.

"Hehe, you've paid attention to this movie, and you know it's him starring in it. He didn't come, and I hope he comes too. He's dominated the screen in recent years."

"Is "The Variety Star" going to be screened in the Mainland this time?" Yu Dong asked.

"It seems that it has not been determined yet."

Yu Dong smiled, it's been a while, and he hasn't settled down yet, and he doesn't know where the problem is.According to Yu Dong's memory, "The Variety Star" does not seem to have been released in the mainland. This time, he may have seen the box office explosion in the mainland last year, so he was moved.

If the news that Yang Xiao got is correct, then "Variable Stars" will have to wait until at least next year if it wants to be released in the mainland. After all, this kind of thing doesn't mean that if you decide today, it will be released tomorrow.

First of all, the dubbing must be re-dubbed, and then the film may have to be re-edited, and even re-shoot some content.

"Variable Stars" is advertised as a sci-fi comedy movie, but most people don't see it as a sci-fi movie.

Ye Weimin and the others probably know it themselves, but with the release of "Second World" and the popularity of science fiction, they naturally want to rely on science fiction for the movie.

For Ye Weimin and the others who came to attend the award ceremony, Yu Dong didn't think it was a big deal. They just came to see them anyway, and they didn't want to give them an award.

After sending Yu Dong and the others to the hotel, Yang Xiao went to work. She said that she was very busy recently. How could it be possible? Leaving aside the Galaxy Awards, "Science Fiction World" is getting better and better, and her affairs are also getting better and better. more.

People are not satisfied. When the sales volume was several thousand in the past, Yang Xiao thought every day that he could sell tens of thousands per issue.Now that each issue has sold 10,000+, she began to want to sell hundreds of thousands.Moreover, under the influence of Jimmy, Yang Xiao is even thinking about how to open the magazine to foreign countries recently.

As long as there is desire, there is no way for people to stop.

Yu Dong is the same now, compared to when he first came back, now he wants more and more things, and he can no longer be as calm as when he first started.

However, it is precisely desire that supports people to move forward. At least Yu Dong feels that he is a little more energetic now than before.
