Backtracking to the Age of Literature and Art

Chapter 427

Hearing his father's words, Zhao Yan nodded and said, "Well, I see, I'll study "The Crowd" later."

"The crowd..." Zhao Changtian shook his head, "Don't read that book for now, it's not yet time. After this "Golden Dreamland" is serialized, you should study it carefully."

Zhao Yan raised his eyebrows: "Dad, I just heard you say that this novel can be published in "Shanghai Literature". Is it true?"

"Of course it is true. The plot of this novel is compact and full of suspense. But when I read it, I thought of Yu Hua's "To Live". "Golden" Dreamland first sets up a pessimistic stage, and then on this stage, it shows the hope and strength of trying to live. The only pity is that the background of this novel is set in a foreign country. Of course, if you don’t let In foreign countries, I am afraid it is not easy to write, after all, such things as the assassination of the president..."

"Assassinated?" Zhao Yan grasped the key information: "Is it the one on the street, like Kennedy..."

Zhao Changtian rolled his eyes, "We can't discuss it anymore, if we continue the discussion, I will tell you the whole story soon."

Zhao Yan pursed his lips and said, "This is not too high or low, I want to see it even more now."

……

After Yu Dong hung up the phone, he wrote the word Zhao Yan on the notebook in front of him.

When Zhao Changtian called, he was thinking about the future of Deep Space Chinese Website.

Deep space Chinese website is developing steadily and getting better step by step.

But the general environment is like this, and there are not enough netizens in China, so it is unrealistic for Shenkong Chinese.com to grow to any extent now.

But Yu Dong knows that the big era will come in a few years, so it needs to be laid out in advance, whether it is users or reputation, it must be carefully cultivated.

Grasp the existing netizens and those who are gradually entering the Internet, and let them form a concept that Shenkong Chinese Website is their first choice for reading and discussing novels.

To achieve this, publicity is essential, and the output of content is also the top priority.

Yu Dong was looking for someone to export the content just now.

Li Qiuhao is already well-known on the Deep Space Chinese website, and Xing Yusen, whom Yu Dong met in Rongcheng before, is also in contact with Deep Space.

When Zhao Changtian called just now, Yu Dong thought of Zhao Yan.

In fact, Zhao Yan's works are very suitable for publication on the Internet. Whether it is his urban novels or fantasy witchcraft novels, they are all in line with the tastes of young people.

It's just that Zhao Yan is still young and is in school, so he may not be able to write well, so Yu Dong just asked a question just now, just to confirm Zhao Yan's current writing level.

Pull him over if you can.

Looking at the sparse names on the notebook, Yu Dong frowned. It seemed that it was unreliable to count on those who became famous later on. He had to cultivate a group of authors himself, just like cultivating Li Qiuhao.

This matter will have to be discussed with Yu Yu and the others later.

Then Yu Dong turned another page of the notebook and wrote some names on the new page.

They are Wang Hailin, Wang Shuping, Haiyan...

Yu Dong wrote more than a dozen names in one breath, all of them were screenwriters, including well-known major screenwriters, unknown small screenwriters, and even foreigners, such as Cunningham.

The reason why I wrote the names of these screenwriters is because Yu Dong has a series of TV series plans in the future, but he has no skills to do it all by himself, so he wants to recruit some screenwriters to form a group to make copies.

For example, "Don't Lie to Me", the book "Lying" has been delivered to him. He has studied this book in the past two days. He can write it, but it will take him a lot of time. When other screenwriters came to help, he was responsible for coordinating the overall situation.

Although in this way, the speed of producing a drama will be much slower, but Yu Dong himself can be liberated and can carry out many plans at the same time.

Looking at these names, Yu Dong pondered for a moment, then called Yu Yu again.

On the phone, Yu Dong talked about his group screenwriting plan, and he was very interested after listening to it.

Compared with Deep Space America, Deep Space China is not doing well in film and television. This is not to blame for the margin, but the domestic environment is not as good as that of foreign countries, the market is much smaller, and the degree of freedom is also much smaller.

Yu Yu has also been thinking about this issue, and finally concluded that if Deep Space China wants to make efforts in film and television, it should focus on the development of TV dramas in recent years.

It is difficult to distribute movies, and the box office cannot be guaranteed, but TV dramas are different. In the past two years, more and more private companies have been involved in the production of TV dramas. bigger.

Now is the critical moment for them to seize the TV drama market. If they can fight the battle well in the past two years, the road ahead will be smooth.

But now there are still relatively few TV dramas they have cooperated with. There is "Don't Talk to Strangers" in the front and "The Mansion Gate" in the back. A TV series is released every year.

Therefore, Yu Yu was very happy when he heard that Yu Dong was going to be a group screenwriter.

After talking on the phone with Yu Dong, Yu Yu put down the matter at hand and went to Jinyi in person, planning to have a detailed chat with Yu Dong face to face.

In the office, Yu Dong poured a cup of tea for Yu Yu, and then said with a smile: "Actually, there is no need to be in such a hurry. This plan must be a protracted battle."

Yu Yu took the cup, "Boss, I know it must be a protracted battle, but we have to move quickly, at least build out the shelf and find out the way. I think so, first find a project to try, see You can also try and make mistakes to see the effect.”

"What do you think?" Yu Dong asked.

When talking on the phone, Yu Dong felt that Yu Yu had a lot of thoughts on this matter.

"I think so, the two TV series with high ratings this year, one is "Don't Talk to Strangers" written by you, boss, and the other is "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", and the ratings of "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" Much higher than "Don't Talk to Strangers", it can be said to be a phenomenal TV series."

At this point, Yu Yue picked up the teacup to take a sip, but put the cup to his mouth, put it down again, and continued: "The topic of domestic violence has attracted a lot of attention recently, but I think this topic can dig There are not enough things, and it is easy to be homogenized. However, the funny and humorous historical comedy "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" has a lot of potential to be tapped. After all, it has such a long history and so many characters. As far as I know, "Kangxi Weifu "Private Interview" will be aired next year, and there will definitely be a wave of popularity. At this time, we can consider getting on board and trying to produce another TV series of this type."

"Historical Comedy..."

Yu Dong rubbed his chin, and had to say that the judgment of margin was correct. Starting from "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", this kind of comedy-type historical drama has a great market.

The "Private Interview of Kangxi Weifu" mentioned by Yu Liang just now was also very popular, and several films were shot in succession.

And this kind of TV series, apart from "Private Interview of Kangxi Weifu" and "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", the first thing Yu Dong thought of was "Ji Xiaolan with Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth".

"You can really try it." Yu Dong knocked on the coffee table, "Well, I'll think about this subject seriously in the past two days to see if I can come up with some ideas. If so, we'll find a few screenwriters to try it out. try."

"Okay, with the boss taking the lead, I'm more confident." Yu Yu said excitedly.

As long as the boss takes the initiative, it will be all right. In the past few years, he has personally witnessed the success of the projects that Yu Dong participated in one after another.

Up to now, he has had an almost blind trust in Dong.

"Don't worry, my new book will be finished in a few days, and then I will shift my focus to TV dramas."

"Is a new book coming out?" Yu Liang asked in surprise.

Jiang Jie had mentioned the matter of the new book, but he didn't expect it to be so fast. You know, he just sent "Golden Dreamland" to "Sprout".

"It's almost done, it's just a matter of a week or two. When the time comes, you can communicate with Jimmy, decide on the translations in various languages ​​as soon as possible, and put "Golden Dreamland" and the new book abroad as soon as possible." Yu Dong said.

"No problem, the translation can be in place at any time, and I will communicate with Mr. Ji after I go back."

Deep Space Company has a lot of translation work, so they also cooperate with many famous translators at home and abroad. It is too simple to order a translation.

"Boss, your new book is science fiction, right?"

"Well, that's right."

"For English, let's talk to Teacher Guo Jianzhong Guo. He calls me every now and then and asks if I have any new manuscripts for him to translate. I know, he actually wants to ask if you have any new books, but I'm sorry to ask you directly, so I ran away. ask me."

Yu Dong smiled. Guo Jianzhong has cooperated with them many times. Starting from "Second World", he basically translated the English versions of Yu Dong's science fiction novels.

Moreover, he is still a fan of Yu Dong's books, and every time he takes the initiative to ask if Yu Dong has any new works, and if he needs his translation, he just wants to have a sneak peek.

Therefore, Guo Jianzhong knew even earlier than Yang Xiao and the others whether Yu Dong had a new book coming out.
