Backtracking to the Age of Literature and Art

Chapter 493 Nothing in YU's dictionary...

My cousin called me, Yu Dong thought it was time to eat, but I found out when I went back, the reason for calling him back was because my cousin’s niece and son-in-law had worked as editors in a newspaper before, and my cousin wanted to introduce Yu Dong to her niece and son-in-law .

Sometimes Yu Dong doesn't want to visit relatives, because as soon as he arrives, the atmosphere will be very different, and everyone will focus on him.

In the past two days, he read at least ten essays by elementary and middle school students.

As long as anyone has a child, they want to give the composition to Yu Dong, and let him see if the child has a talent for writing.

At the beginning, because they were all relatives, Yu Dong also analyzed it seriously. Later, he found that these parents didn't care whether their children had writing talents at all. The reason why they took their children's compositions was actually to Listen to two good words from him, a great writer.

Many of these compositions are not completed independently by the children at first glance, and there are traces of parental participation.

Yu Dong didn't take it too seriously. Later, as long as someone brought the composition over, he didn't analyze it too much, and just said a few nice words.

This time, Yu Dong did not expect that another niece and son-in-law who had worked as an editor would appear in his aunt's house.Could it be that this niece and son-in-law are quitting editors now and want to be a writer, and I want him to read the articles?

"Come on, Adong, this is my brother-in-law Liang Kewen, who used to work as a news editor for "Shanghai Workers"."

"Brother, it's "Shanghai Labor Movement."

Liang Kewen looked to be in his early twenties. He was tall and a little thin. He was wearing a black suit and looked a little too big.The appearance is not bad, and he wears a pair of glasses, gentle.

Being corrected by Liang Kewen, Li Xiaobo laughed, patted Liang Kewen on the shoulder and said, "It's almost the same... I don't need to introduce you to who this is. Now in Shanghai, there are not many people who don't know each other. He's gone, especially someone like you, Ke Wen, who has gone to college and worked in a newspaper office. Let me tell you, my relationship with A Dong is very good, we played together when we were naked..."

Liang Kewen pushed his eyes, glanced at Yu Dong, and smiled awkwardly. It could be seen that he was also a little reluctant to be pulled over by Li Xiaobo.However, Li Xiaobo seemed very enthusiastic. He obviously wanted to use Yu Dong to save face in front of his new cousin-in-law.

Yu Dong was used to Li Xiaobo's appearance, and shook hands with Liang Kewen openly, "Hi, I'm Yu Dong. "Shanghai Labor Movement" is a magazine under "Labour Daily", right?"

Liang Kewen nodded flattered: "Yes, my previous establishment was from the Labor Daily."

"What unit are you in now?" Yu Dong asked.

"I'm not in the unit now, I'm going to do some small work by myself."

When it came to work, Li Xiaobo got excited again, "Ah Dong, tell me, is this kid out of his mind? I don't want to have a good career, and I'm going to sea. He's going to sea, he's either opening a factory, or he's messing around. He’s good for some exotic items. How much money can he make by making signs for those small restaurants? Although I don’t do business, I also know that if you want to do a good job in business, you must be irreplaceable. This restaurant There is no technical content, anyone can do it. Even if you can make money, every day is just some broken money, which is boring."

Liang Kewen smiled awkwardly: "We mainly do design, and the real signboard production is handed over to others."

Yu Dong was a little curious: "Didn't you work in the newspaper office before, why did you start designing all of a sudden?"

After all, he has worked as an arts and crafts instructor for several sessions, so he has a little understanding of design, and he naturally knows that there are thresholds for designing, and a lot of professional knowledge is required. It is difficult to get involved in this industry without studying related majors.

"I study law, and I don't need to do the design myself. Because I am optimistic about the advertising design market, I set up a company and hired designers. Because the initial funds are limited, I want to start with the ordinary Let’s start with the small restaurant.”

Talking about business, Liang Kewen was not so shy and talked more, "The society is developing very fast now, and the demand for advertising design will definitely become more and more vigorous, and with the development of the times, advertising promotion The form will become more and more abundant.”

It can be heard that Liang Kewen is a very thoughtful young man. He has been to university and has been exposed to many new things, so he can see some trends in future development.

Hearing Liang Kewen's eloquent talk, Yu Dong became a little interested. He thought it would be boring to meet a relative who was out of reach.

After chatting for a while, Yu Dong discovered that although Liang Kewen was a law student, he knew a lot about advertising.

Moreover, he also has a better understanding of Internet media than ordinary people. He believes that although TV advertisements are very prosperous now, with the popularization of computers and the Internet, the main battlefield of advertisements will shift to the Internet, and the content of advertisements must also be Make a huge difference.

Although Liang Kewen's words were somewhat vague due to his limited understanding of computer networks, it is not easy for him to realize these things.

Before eating, Yu Dong gave Liang Kewen his phone number and asked him to contact him in a few days.

Yu Dong is also very interested in advertising, so when he saw such a flexible mind as Liang Kewen, he naturally became interested.

……

After eating, Yu Dong grabbed two handfuls of melon seeds and wandered to Xu Zheng's house, only to find that the door was closed and a note was pasted on the door.

[I'm sorry, Mr. Yu, I have some business to go to the regiment, and the return date is undecided. 】

Yu Dong smiled, and walked leisurely in the alley with his hands behind his back.

After a while, Cheng Yanqiu came out of the room, saw him wandering leisurely, gave him a blank look, "You are the only one to be free."

Yu Dong walked over with a smile, took out a small handful of melon seeds from his pocket and presented it to Cheng Yanqiu, "Do you want to walk around with me?"

Cheng Yanqiu grabbed the melon seeds, then looked at the yard behind him: "Let's leave without saying anything, okay?"

Yu Dong smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with it, just come back before dinner."

"That's okay, let's go for a stroll, surrounded by them inside, I'm about to suffocate to death."

Holding his wife's hand, Yu Dong walked unsteadily across the alley to the main road, regardless of the direction, just walking casually like this.

Yu Dong in Jing'an District has been hanging around here since he was a child, and he is fairly familiar with it, so he doesn't worry about getting lost.

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, Shanghai is not as lively as usual. A lot of roads have been built nearby, which are much wider than before. There are far fewer fields and fields where they ran and had fun when they were young, and the geographical pattern has changed a lot.

"where are we going?"

"casual."

Yu Dong smiled, he didn't want to go anywhere, he just wanted to drag Cheng Yanqiu around like this, so he didn't need to have too many mundane things in his mind, he didn't need to think about tomorrow, and he didn't need to think about yesterday.

It's just that this leisure time didn't last long, and within half an hour, Yu Dong's mobile phone rang.

Yu Dong didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but Cheng Yanqiu said with a smile: "Go ahead, there might be something urgent."

"Ugh."

Yu Dong sighed slightly, connected the phone, and then Jimmy's voice came from the phone: "My Dong, what are you doing?"

"I was taking a leisurely walk, but unfortunately I received an untimely call."

Jimmy laughed: "I thought, this untimely call must not be referring to me."

Yu Dong rolled his eyes, "Did you call for something?"

"I have two messages for you."

"One good news, one bad news?"

"Both are good news." Jimmy laughed, "But one is general good news, and the other is very good news. Which one do you want to hear?"

"Let's have a normal one first."

"Well, let's talk about the general first. We have not reached an agreement with the Forbidden City Films. Zhang Heping is not willing to cooperate with us on the New Year's Eve."

The corner of Yu Dong's mouth twitched, "Are you sure this is good news?"

"Listen to me. Although the Forbidden City didn't close the deal with us, Han Shanping from Yanjing Studio extended an olive branch to us, expressing his willingness to cooperate with us to release a movie on the New Year's Eve, and willing to invest 100 million yuan. .”

"Won't this offend the Forbidden City Films? No, since the Forbidden City Films is not willing to cooperate with us, why would Yanjing Studios be willing? They shouldn't offend the Forbidden City Films for us."

Although Deep Space is developing very well now, it is obviously not something Yanjing Studios can do to offend a company such as the Forbidden City Films, which is a joint venture of several state-owned units, for a private company.

"Now I want to tell you the second news. China Film Group has been persuaded by me to consider starting a strategic cooperation with us. They are more interested in the buyout model. I guess, It won't be long before they reach a consensus within themselves."

Yu Dong raised his eyebrows: "So, Yanjing Studio is willing to cooperate with us because of China Film's attitude."

"exactly."

"That's not right. Since Yanjing Studios will appreciate the attitude of China Film Group, wouldn't the Forbidden City Film Industry not be fond of China Film Group's attitude? They have absolutely no reason to refuse to cooperate with us."

"You have to ask Zhang Heping about this. I don't know what he thinks. Anyway, our goal has been achieved. We can't compete with China Film Group, but the Forbidden City Films will not take it too seriously. Zhang Heping is probably fighting Seeing that there are several state-run units behind me, I want to keep all the New Year's Eve celebrations in my arms, for fear that our deep space participation will cover up their light."

Speaking of this, Jimmy let out a contemptuous smile: "But to put it bluntly, their company was born to stimulate the film market. If there is another company that can do this and do it better, they will naturally be It can be discarded. As for whether it is private... I think the leaders are also very pragmatic, what they want more is tangible results, and this result is what we can bring to them."

Yu Dong nodded, agreeing with Jimmy's words very much. A company like Forbidden City Films is destined to become a transitional company. The intervention of private companies is unstoppable. The leaders of China Film Group can also recognize this, so naturally they will not take Forbidden City Films too seriously. Heavy.

"How did you talk with President Zhang of the Forbidden City Films? Didn't the talk go well, and didn't the talk go too far?"

"That's not true. It's impossible to tear your face apart on the bright side. But I heard one thing, Han Shanping told me that Zhang Heping got closer to a director recently, and it may be because of this director that they refused. cooperate with us."

"Which director?" Yu Dong asked.

"Feng Xiaogang."

Yu Dong frowned, why is this Feng Xiaogang everywhere?
He originally thought that if Feng Xiaogang won the copyright of "You Are Not an Ordinary", Feng Xiaogang would not be able to shoot "Party A and Party B", so naturally it would have nothing to do with this year's Lunar New Year file.

But what I didn't expect was that Feng Xiaogang was still involved in this matter.

However, Zhang Heping is really a bit strange, he would give up cooperation with Deep Space Company because of Feng Xiaogang. Does he really think that under the current situation, their Forbidden City Films can really stir up troubles in the film and television industry by themselves?

After pondering for a while, Yu Dong said: "Prepare well for this New Year's Eve. Although there is no shame on the surface, it is already destined to offend the Forbidden City Films. I am afraid it will be difficult to become friends in the future, and it may even develop In this case, it is better to beat them to the ground this time, so that Han Shanping and China Film can see that the Forbidden City Films is of no use."

"Also, I don't like the name Feng Xiaogang very much, so try not to let me hear it again in the future."

Jimmy on the other end of the phone paused, he probably didn't expect Yu Dong to say such harsh words.

But Jimmy was quite happy to hear such words from Yu Dongkou. The development of Deep Space Corporation is destined to open a road full of corpses of losers. There are only a few successful ones. Deep Space Corporation has succeeded. It is doomed that there will be more losers.

On this road, offending people is inevitable, and it is impossible for everyone to be satisfied in the world.

"No problem, since he's on the opposite side of us, there's no reason for him to succeed. That's enough, just these two things, you can continue to relax."

Yu Dong nodded, and was about to hang up, but Jimmy said again: "By the way, there is one more thing I forgot to tell you. Tomorrow, February 14, our Valentine's Day, the United States has made an official Couple voting, let readers vote for the most popular couple in your novel."

"Huh? The most popular couple in my novel? Isn't this a mess?"

There are many types of his novels with different styles, but they have one thing in common, that is, there are very few descriptions of love.

To choose the best couple from his novels is like finding beef from Master Kong's braised beef noodles.

"Elected?"

"Well, it's chosen."

"Which right? Is it the protagonist and his first love in "Golden Dreamland"?"

After Yu Dong thought about it, this pair was more likely.

"Wrong, it's the pair of students in "Fatal Identity"."

"what?"

Several question marks popped up in Yu Dong's head. He really didn't understand what these readers were thinking. Li Shuang and Liu Changlin in "Fatal Identity" couldn't even be regarded as a couple, nor did they have any love.

Jimmy probably anticipated Yu Dong's doubts, and said with a smile: "Readers say that in YU's novels, love is only found in the fantasies of psychopaths. They also said that in Yu Dong's life dictionary, there is no love at all. There is no such word as love."

Yu Dong gritted his teeth, "It's just - fart!"
