Backtracking to the Age of Literature and Art

Chapter 467
Friends who have known Yu Dong for a long time did not feel anything wrong when they heard that Yu Dong was going to represent the Deep Space Company.

Although they don't know the specific relationship between Yu Dong and Shen Kong Company, after a long time of contact, in their impression, Yu Dong and Shen Space Company are bound together, whether it is Yu Dong representing Shen Space Company or Yu Dong representing Deep Space Corporation is not a surprising thing.

On the contrary, Tielin, Han Shaogong and other people who were in contact with Yu Dong for the first time were a little surprised by Dong's expression.

From Han Shaogong and Tielin's point of view, Yu Dong, just like them, is just a writer who cooperates with Deep Space Company, and at most, Yu Dong's commercial value is higher than theirs.

However, Han Shaogong and the others didn't ask any more questions, only thinking that Yu Dong was more enthusiastic.

……

The next morning, Yu Dong woke up naturally, and didn't get up unsteadily until after nine o'clock.

After drinking some wine last night, Yu Hua and the others dragged Han Shaogong to gather a table of eggs, and they didn't stop until after twelve o'clock.

Originally, when they were playing cards, Yu Dong could just go to bed, but Han Shao Gongfei pulled him to watch the game from the sidelines.

It is said to be watching the battle, but it is actually chatting with them.As for what to talk about, there is no theme, just talk about whatever comes up, and after sleeping, Yu Dong doesn't quite remember what they talked about last night.

After washing up, Yu Dong went to find Yu Hua first, raised his hand and was about to knock on the door, but saw a note pasted on the door.

It read: Fight again at the end of the year——Han Shaogong.

Seven characters, the pen goes like a dragon and a snake.

Such informal words, of course, must be Han Shaogong.

But from these seven words, Yu Dong could feel a kind of determination and fighting spirit.

Last night, Han Shaogong lost more than 100 points, and he was probably very unwilling, so he came here early in the morning to post this gauntlet.And the reason why it was posted at Yu Hua's door was because Yu Hua won the most last night.

After tearing off the note, Yu Dong knocked on Yu Hua's door.

After a while, Yu Hua came to open the door sleepily and muttered, "Knocking on my door so early? This is murder, you know?"

Yu Dong waved the note in front of his eyes, "Look, the boatman has sent you a challenge."

"The letter of war?" Yu Hua regained consciousness a lot, took the note, saw the words on it, and immediately laughed, "I was afraid that he wouldn't come... This guy is just a cash machine."

If Han Shaogong was here, he would probably be so angry at Yu Hua's words that he would vomit blood.

But what Yu Hua said was also true.

They played cards together, and they had never played too much. It was really not easy to lose more than 100 in two or three hours.

It can be said that Han Shaogong's loss efficiency is a record.

"Hurry up and pack up, we have to go to my teacher in a while."

"Oh, I forgot about this." Yu Hua patted his head, "I'm going to brush my teeth."

Then Yu Dong went to call Su Tong and Mo Yan one by one.

……

It was already eleven o'clock when Yu Dong and the others arrived at Hu Yueming's house.

It was Wang Xiaobo who opened the door, and Yu Dong said with a smile, "You're all here."

Wang Xiaobo grinned and said, "I've always been positive about eating."

After entering the door, Hu Yueming came out wearing an apron, holding a spatula, and said hello: "You guys sit down for a while, I still have two dishes here, just finish it."

"Yo, the teacher cooks himself today." Yu Dong joked.

"Your teacher's mother's natal family has something to do today. I'm going back. You can eat as much as I cook. But don't you eat less of the food I cook?"

"A lot, a lot, without your food, I wouldn't be able to grow so tall."

"Spoof." Hu Yueming shook his head, "Give them some tea, and I'll be done in a while."

In fact, it was not used for Dong's attack at all. In the time he was talking to Hu Yueming, Wang Xiaobo had already poured water for Yu Hua and the others.

Wang Xiaobo didn't have many friends in Yanjing, because he knew Hu Yueming because of Yu Dong's relationship, and later came here to drink with Hu Yueming every now and then, so he was familiar with this place.Hu Yueming paid attention to Wang Xiaobo very early and admired him very much, so the two had a lot of topics to talk about together.

Yu Dong looked at the living room of Hu Yueming's house. Compared with the last time he came here, there were more books. Except for the sofa, the other places were basically covered with books.

The coffee table is still the original one, the broken foot has not been repaired, and the French version of "Confessions" under it is still lying there honestly.

Yu Hua picked up a copy of Dostoyevsky's "Crime and Punishment" from the side of the sofa, feeling a little emotional, "Every time I come here and see so many books, I just think, this is probably a paradise for readers. Alright."

"Isn't Yu Dong's Wangqiu Pavilion a paradise?" Mo Yan laughed.

"Although there are many books in Wangqiu Pavilion, it still lacks a sense of life. It is more like a library or a museum. Unlike here, no matter what kind of books they are, they are placed randomly. And when you see them, you can Think of the scene when Teacher Hu read them."

Speaking of this, Yu Hua looked at the "Confession" at the foot of the coffee table and laughed, "At least it's easy for Mr. Hu to imagine how he felt when he read this "Confession."

Yu Hua and the others didn't hate "The Confessions", nor did they hate Rousseau, but this didn't stop them from making fun of "The Confessions".

It is really not easy to own this room of books. First of all, you need money.

Hu Yueming hasn't counted them, so he doesn't know exactly how many books there are, but those at home, those in the office, and some "borrowed" by students, at least [-] volumes.

For 10 volumes, if one book is calculated at ten yuan, it will cost [-] yuan.

Ordinary people don't have 10 yuan at all, and even if they do, they won't spend it to buy books.

So owning such a roomful of books is not only as simple as loving reading, but also having spare money.

……

Hu Yueming still had classes in the afternoon, so he was supposedly not allowed to drink, but seeing Yu Dong and the others coming over, he was happy, so he opened a bottle of wine and shared among them, and he poured less himself.

After finishing one bottle, he opened a second bottle.

When they came out of Hu Yueming's house, Yu Dong and the others were all dizzy.

Wang Xiaobo drank the most, but was the most sober.

In fact, they originally wanted to play football at school, but after drinking, this plan was cancelled.

"Let's take a stroll around the school." Su Tong suggested, "The last time I came here, I visited the inside of the school, but I didn't go outside."

This proposal was unanimously approved, and Yu Dong and the others walked unsteadily towards the outside of the school.

There are many gates in Yan Normal University, there are seven or eight gates, big and small, and there is a small gate near the place where Hu Yue lives.

This small gate is very small, and there are not many people coming and going, but this small section of the road, Yu Dong and the others were recognized by some students.

Fortunately, the students all restrained themselves, said hello, or simply chatted a few words before leaving.

After leaving the small gate, there was nothing but a road, and a few people just walked along the road like this.

After walking for half a circle, it gradually became lively. There is a small street on the side of the north gate. It is not large in scale, but it has all internal organs and sells everything.

Yu Dong and the others walked forward unsteadily, and after a while, Yu Hua looked around, "Where's Wang Xiaobo?"

Several people realized that Wang Xiaobo was gone, and hurriedly looked back, only to see Wang Xiaobo standing at the door of a store, not knowing what he was looking at.

Yu Dong shouted, "Xiaobo, what are you doing?"

Wang Xiaobo didn't speak, just pointed to the door of the shop, Yu Dong and the others didn't know why, but they still walked over.

When he got closer, Yu Dong didn't know what Wang Xiaobo was looking at.

The store Wang Xiaobo stopped at was a video store called "Feihong", and what he was referring to was a small blackboard standing in front of the store.

This blackboard is about the size of a [-]-inch computer. It is rectangular, placed vertically, and has a wide edge of wood on the outside.

A piece of white paper was pasted on the raised wood, with two large black characters written: Cargo News.

On the blackboard below there are three lines written in colored chalk.

The first line is: Yu Dong's new works.

The second line reads: Golden Dreamland.

The third line is: the original price is ten yuan, the current price is five yuan, first come first served.

Yu Hua looked at the blackboard and said with a smile, "Yu Yuanwai, you are in trouble now. Even video stores have started selling your book, but this book is too affordable."

Mo Yan and Su Tong also laughed, it was really affordable, even if it was a pirated book, two yuan for a novel was too cheap.

Wang Xiaobo laughed and said, "I don't think what's being sold is books, but tapes."

"Tape?" Yu Hua was stunned for a moment before walking inside.

At noon, the business in the store was normal, only three or five students were squatting on the ground looking for tapes. Yu Hua looked around, and sure enough, she saw the tape of "Golden Dreamland" in a cabinet in front.

There is also English on it.

Although Yu Hua didn't know much English, she probably understood, "This is the song of that foreign band."

Yu Dong nodded, "It should be."

Seeing a wave of guests coming in, the boss greeted them with a smile, "How many, what do you want?"

"Let's take a look at "Golden Dreamland"," Yu Hua said.

"Golden Dreamland, you have come to the right place. There may not be any other places. Let me tell you, this album belongs to the Beatles, and it is a joint edition with Yu Dong's new book "Golden Dreamland". Do you understand? That is to say, this song by the Beatles is combined with Yu Dong's new book, and this song is written just for this."

Yu Dong narrowed his eyes and said, "Boss, this book is new, but this song has been around for a long time. Could it be that the Beatles wrote a song for him before the book came out?"

"That's because I misremembered. It should be that this book was specially written for this song. Anyway, the meaning is the same." The boss said with a calm face and heartbeat.

Hearing this, the others also laughed.

Seeing them laughing, the boss was a little puzzled, "Brothers, what are you laughing at?"

Yu Dong waved his hand, "It's nothing, I just think this joint name is very interesting, but boss, isn't it a bit expensive for you, a tape costs five yuan."

The boss quickly complained, "You're an outsider. Anyone who buys it often knows that this foreign tape costs at least ten yuan a piece. It's not because I'm in time for the store celebration, and I have a big discount. But Let me tell you, there are not a few tapes left of this discounted tape, if you sell it late, you have to pay the original price."

"It's quite interesting. We were lucky enough to catch up with the boss's shop celebration." Wang Xiaobo laughed.

The boss glanced at Wang Xiaobo, and quickly moved his eyes away.

Although Wang Xiaobo was smiling, in the eyes of others, this smile was really scary, and with his big stature, it really made the boss murmur.

Yu Dong asked, "Boss, where did you get this news from?"

"Where does it come from? It has spread. This album has been sold in the United States, and it is only a step behind in China." The boss said with a smile.

Yu Dong smiled again. There are some truths and some falsehoods about what the boss said. It is probably because the company has already started publicity. The boss got the news and added more details.

In fact, Yu Dong misunderstood the boss, and he really didn't make up the news himself.

Since the news of the remake of the album came out on the Deep Space Chinese website, various versions have been derived.

The most outrageous of them is that the Beatles' "Golden Dreamland" was written specifically for the novel "Golden Dreamland". However, although this rumor is outrageous, many people still believe it.

A relatively less outrageous statement is that the novel "Golden Dreamland" was written specifically for the song "Golden Dreamland". This statement is a little more marketable than the previous one.

But the boss just heard the news, and then spread it to the outside world, and didn't play it himself.

The boss actually knew that such rumors were unreliable, but in order to attract others to buy tapes, he was willing to tell people so.

And in China, Yu Dong is more famous than the Beatles, so the claim that the Beatles wrote songs for Yu Dong's novel is more attractive.

"That's right." The boss remembered another thing, "This "Golden Dreamland" will be released in the United States in two days. And I also heard that it will only be a few days after the novel is released. Dong’s movie will also be released in the United States.”

"The more you talk, the more exaggerated it is." Wang Xiaobo shook his long hair: "When did Yu Dong act in a movie?"

Yu Hua tugged at his clothes and whispered, "It's really been played, and there's more than one."

Wang Xiaobo turned his head to look at Yu Hua, and said unexpectedly, "What else is there?"

Yu Hua nodded, "That's right, but they are all passers-by. Strictly speaking, they don't count as participating in the show, and several of us were there at the time."

The boss saw them muttering, and didn't know what they were talking about. He guessed that they wouldn't buy anything, so he shook his head and walked inside, "Guys, please watch first, I'll excuse you first, what do you need?" , give an order."

When the boss entered, Yu Dong smiled and said to Wang Xiaobo and the others, "Let's go, look ahead, I seem to see a bookstore, and the front looks pretty good."

……

The fact that Yu Dong's film will be staged is about to be staged, first spread in the United States.

The promotional cost of "Sniping the Phone Booth" was not much, and the first shot was fired after the poster of "Golden Dreamland".

Later, when the movie poster was shown in the movie theater, in addition to the gimmick that YU was written as a screenwriter, it was also written that YU participated in the film, claiming that it was YU's screen debut.

This gimmick works well. Although YU fans know that YU is definitely not the protagonist, they still want to see YU in the movie.
