Chapter 486 The Boss
Yu Dong was the last one on the red carpet.

He didn't want to go up at first, after all, he was the host, and it felt a little weird to go up by himself when his company held a red carpet for the annual meeting.

But Jimmy insisted that he go up, and he was the last one.

When Yu Dongyi showed up, the enthusiasm of the onlookers reached its peak, and the applause was even louder than when Li Xuejian came on stage.

In other cities, Yu Dong's face might not be as popular as TV stars like Li Xuejian, but in Jinling, he is an absolute celebrity, and ordinary celebrities are not enough to look in front of him.

In Jinling, people can always hear Yu Dong's name in various ways.

Over the past few years, the "Yangtze Evening News" alone has reported hundreds of news about Yu Dong, and published more than ten photos of Yu Dong.

Jinling TV has also done several special topics related to Yu Dong.

Yu Dong's popularity in Jinling was built up from these pieces of news, and it was also spread by word of mouth.

The Jinling people who came to the Jinling Great Hall of the People today to join in the fun may pass by and take a look with curiosity, but most of them are here for the deep space annual meeting. These people may not know other guests, but they all know Meet Yu Dong.

Feeling the enthusiasm of the people, Yu Dong put his palms together and bowed to pay his respects.

Halfway through the red carpet, Yu Dong's face became stiff with laughter. Looking from a distance, he didn't realize how long the red carpet was, but walking on it, it seemed that the red carpet had no end, and he didn't know when he would be able to leave. use up.

Moreover, he walked at the end, and the people in front had almost left. He occupied a long section of the red carpet by himself, and he couldn't get through. He had to take it seriously and try to take care of the reporters and onlookers in every direction as well as the audience. Camera arranged by the company.

When the red carpet was all over, Yu Dong turned around and waved to the people.

Turning his head away again, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. This was much more tiring than walking on the Oscars red carpet back then.

Under the guidance of the staff, he found his seat in the front row of the auditorium, next to him were Spielberg and Han Shanping.

Over the past day or so, Han Shanping has gotten to know Yu Dong a lot. Seeing him coming, he joked, "It's not easy to walk on the red carpet. The Shenkong Company really made a big show this time. When I came just now, I was caught Startled."

Yu Dong turned his head and looked at the back. The first floor of the auditorium was almost full, and there were still some vacant seats on the second floor.

"Mr. Han was joking. You are also used to seeing big scenes, so this won't surprise you. I think that the annual meeting of Deep Space will be more glorious because of your participation, Mr. Han. "

"Yu Dong, you are too flattering, you are the most important customer of Deep Space Company."

Han Shanping was smiling, he was a little smug after being praised these two days.

"Hey, what kind of important guest am I?"

Yu Dong said with a smile, looked down at the time, there were still about ten minutes before the official start of the annual meeting, and the whole process was under control.

This year's annual meeting will not only be larger in scale, but also richer in form. There will be about an hour of program time before the conclusion of the annual meeting. Deep Space has invited some singers and song and dance troupes to perform.

In addition, Yu Yu and the others also specially found local drama troupes and song and dance troupes to arrange a stage play together.

The name of this stage play is "Deep Space", which is based on "Second World". It tells the development of entertainment in the information age and basically covers the general direction of the future development of Deep Space Corporation. It is also an advertisement, which involves Deep Space Chinese. Net, deep space mailbox and deep space instant messaging software.

During the rehearsal of the stage play, Yu Dong watched it. From the perspective of literature and art, the level is not high.But this stage play is not for literature and art, it is essentially a promotional film customized by the company.From a commercial point of view, it is indeed successful, because everything that Deep Space wants to express has been expressed.

The "Deep Space" stage play was the penultimate program, and the last program was the "Golden Dreaming" suite performed by McCartney's team.

At the end of the stage play, Spielberg muttered, "It's a pity that there is no translation, and some parts are not clear."

Yu Dong couldn't respond to Spielberg. For things like stage plays, it's really not good to bring a translator.

When designing this stage play, they have taken into account that there will be foreign audiences, so they minimized the lines and made it simpler and clearer.

It can be seen that the margin and their efforts have been effective. Spielberg only said that "some places are not very clear", which means that he can understand the whole.

After the performance of the "Golden Dreamland" suite ended, Jimmy took the microphone and went on stage with a smile.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the annual meeting of Deep Space Corporation. It is not the first time for many friends to participate in the annual meeting of Deep Space Corporation. This time last year was the first time that our Deep Space Corporation held meeting……"

Jimmy speaks Chinese, and there will be a simultaneous interpreter on the spot to translate his words into English. As for a small number of guests who speak other languages, they can only be equipped with translators, such as Giuseppe, and his translator Rossi also came to the auditorium. Personally translate for him.

This year's annual meeting is very long, so Jimmy invited many guests to speak on stage, such as Joe Schumacher, the director of "Sniper Phone Booth", Guy Ritchie, the director of "Two Smoking Barrels", and Li Xiaolin from "Harvest", Another example is Graeme Ferguson, the head of imax.

Since Yu Dong disclosed the news intentionally or unintentionally to Spielberg and the others last year, Spielberg and Lucasfilm have also paid attention to Imax. In the middle of this year, Spielberg, Lucasfilm And the three parties of Deep Space Company began to discuss cooperation with imax, and have initially reached a cooperation.

In the future, several of them will launch a series of plans around imax.

After the guests finished speaking on stage, Jimmy took the stage again and began the year-end summary of Deep Space Corporation.

"During the annual meeting last year, I used data to speak, and this year is no exception. I won't talk about the company's turnover and profit today. I think everyone is definitely not interested."

As soon as Jimmy said this, there was a burst of laughter from the audience.

Amidst the laughter, one could vaguely hear someone say: We are interested in profit.

Jimmy also heard this, and he said with a smile: "Even if you are interested, I am not going to tell you. In fact, Deep Space Corporation is not a company whose main purpose is to make profits. The money we have spent in recent years It’s more than the money we make, and in terms of pure profit, we may not be as good as a restaurant on Jinling Street.”

In fact, what Jimmy said is not entirely a lie. Deep Space Corporation does not have much cash balance every year, because basically the money earned will not be saved for too long before it will be spent.

In the past two years, Deep Space has spent a lot of money. They bought copyrights everywhere, signed stars, and made movies, all of which cost money.

However, most of the guests don't believe this kind of words, because they basically can't see when Deep Space Corporation spends money. Great profit.

This year, the two films "Two Smoking Barrels" and "Sniper Booth" alone have brought tens of millions of dollars in revenue to Deep Space.There is also the "Resident Evil" game, which also made a lot of profits for Deep Space Corporation.

"Next, I will talk to you about the situation of Deep Space last year in three aspects. The first one is books, which are also the foundation of our company. Last year, our company participated in the publication of more than 40 books. compared with last year's more than 25 books, an increase of [-]%. In this year, the total sales volume of our company's books has exceeded [-] million copies, and the average sales volume of each novel is [-] copies. Although The average sales volume has dropped a lot, but we have developed a lot of newcomers this year, and I believe that next year, the total sales volume will have a substantial increase.”

"In terms of film and television, our company has participated in many more films than last year, among which..."

Jimmy focused on film and television data, because "Men in Black" and "Deadly Identity" have not yet been released, so Jimmy focused on "Two Smoking Barrels" and "Sniper Phone Booth".

In fact, next year will be the year when Deep Space will explode, because there will be many movies in Deep Space next year.

"Men in Black" and "Fatal Identity" have already been filmed, and the filming of "Bring Her Eyes" and "Sea Pianist" has also been completed, and the files will be finalized soon.In addition, for the Lunar New Year file in China, Deep Space will release at least two films.

After talking about books and movies, Jimmy talked about the third part.

He put music and the Internet together as the business that the company will focus on next year.

"In the new year, on the basis of the original, our company will focus on the development of music and the Internet. Everyone here knows that our company has a deep space Chinese website in China, and it also has a controlling stake abroad. Amazon..."

Deep space owns Amazon?
Hearing Jimmy's words, Joe Schumacher looked at Scorsese next to him, "Is the Amazon that Jimmy mentioned is the website where you can buy books?"

Scorsese frowned, "What website can you buy books?"

"It's just a website where people can buy books..." Schumacher explained, then turned to look at Matthew McConaughey on the other side: "Do you know about this?"

Matthew McConaughey shook his head: "I've heard of Amazon.com, but I don't know about Deep Space Holdings."

Joe Schumacher shook his head helplessly. That's right, he is surrounded by people from the film and television industry, and he doesn't pay much attention to the economy.

He also knew about the Amazon website by accident. A friend had introduced to him before that he could buy books on it. He also bought it once. It was very convenient and affordable. of.

Because of Amazon, there was a lot of discussion in the audience, Jimmy ignored them and continued: "Next year, Deep Space will open the mailbox business in China and launch our company's first instant messaging software..."

……

Jimmy's words were not only heard by the audience at the scene, but also posted on the Deep Space website at the same time, which instantly aroused heated discussions among netizens.

Princess Yuezhi: [Big stupid bear, you are so stupid, they go in now, why don't they come out later?When they come out, they are likely to be interviewed by reporters, maybe even chat with passers-by, and sign autographs when they are in a good mood. 】

Bai 97 You: [Yeah, if I were you, I would bring a few books over there, and if I saw an author, I would call, maybe I could call one over. 】

Bai 97 You: [I thought Yu Dong would not be on stage today, what's going on now, coming on stage after the company boss? 】

Young Ronald: [Whatever he is, as long as he can go on stage. 】

……

After Yu Dong came on stage, Jimmy didn't go down. The two of them stood on it with a microphone. Jimmy said with a smile: "Let me introduce to you, the one on stage is called Yu Dong, Gangouyu, Dongfeng's Dongfeng." , is a writer and a good friend of mine.”

Hearing Jimmy's serious introduction to Yu Dong, the guests in the audience couldn't help laughing out loud. There is no one here who doesn't know Yu Dong.

Jimmy pressed his hand and continued: "I know you all know him, but you may not know that he has another identity."

Another identity?
This time, the guests didn't laugh, but looked at Jimmy seriously, waiting for his next words.

Jimmy laughed; "He's also a screenwriter, a teacher—"

When talking about this, the people in the audience thought that Jimmy was deliberately joking, and just about to laugh, Jimmy continued: "And on this occasion, the most important thing is that he is another member of our Deep Space Company." boss."
