Backtracking to the Age of Literature and Art

Chapter 829 Question and Answer Meeting

At the entrance of the Deep Space Literature Museum, watching the ever-increasing queue, Ren Hongfei couldn't help but think of the scene when he came to the Deep Space Park at the end of last year. It was even more lively than now, and there were such long queues everywhere.

Ren Hongfei has always said that he is not interested in video games, but in the end he went to the game department of Deep Space Corporation.

The game department of Deep Space Corporation is a relatively new department. There are not many people in the entire department. The main work of their department is to deal with Blizzard's affairs in China and contact with the e-sports committee. Generally speaking, things are not going well. many.

Ren Hongfei came to Deep Space just after dealing with the school affairs. Today is his third day of employment, and as a newcomer, he has no job, so he was sent by the department boss to assist the security department to maintain order on site.

The things in this world are really amazing. The last time he came, he was a tourist like everyone else. This time, he has become a member of the Deep Space Corporation.

Looking at the time, it was already [-]:[-], and the media Q&A session was about to begin. Ren Hongfei raised his feet and walked inside. He needed more help in the field.

When he got to the infield, Yu Dong had already appeared on the scene, and the reporters were entering in an orderly manner.

After a while, Ren Hongfei suddenly saw Yu Dong waving in his direction.

Ren Hongfei pointed at himself in surprise, while Yu Dong nodded with a smile.

Seeing this, Ren Hongfei quickly walked over, "Boss, are you looking for me?"

Yu Dong smiled and said, "Hongfei, have you already joined the job?"

Ren Hongfei was surprised and said, "Boss, do you still remember me?"

"I have a good memory, when did you join the job?" Yu Dong asked.

"Just joined the job for two or three days."

"Have you finished dealing with the school affairs?"

"Basically everything has been dealt with. I came to Jinling just after taking graduation photos with my classmates. The rest is to go back to school to get my degree certificate and graduation certificate in early July. I am considering whether to go back or let the school send it to me. come over."

"If the school has a graduation ceremony, go back and have a look. After all, life is like this once. Don't worry, the company will reimburse you for the round-trip bus fare."

"Thank you, boss." Ren Hongfei thanked with a smile. The travel expenses were also a reason for his hesitation. It is not close to their school from Jinling.

Yu Dong said with a smile, "You're welcome, this is not just for you. Our company has regulations. In your case, you can reimburse the round-trip travel expenses once every semester. You can go back and ask the boss of your department to find out."

"I still want to thank the boss. The company has such good benefits, of course it is also because of such a good boss as you."

Yu Dong nodded and said, "Well, since I just came to Deep Space, I'm already so familiar with our corporate culture. Not bad, keep it up."

On the contrary, Ren Hongfei was taken aback, what corporate culture, he has never heard anyone say what is the corporate culture of Deep Space.

Seeing that he was in a daze, Yu Dong didn't tease him any more, and instead asked, "I've been here for a few days, are you still used to it?"

Ren Hongfei nodded, "Well, I'm used to it, the company's conditions are very good in all aspects, but..."

Seeing that he hesitated to speak, Yu Dong raised his eyebrows and asked, "It's just what, have you encountered difficulties at work?"

"It's not difficult, but I've been here for several days, and I haven't been assigned any tasks. It's my first task to assist the security department to maintain order at the scene today."

"So you're talking about this." Yu Dong smiled and patted Ren Hongfei on the shoulder, "I understand your feelings. I just graduated from school, and I wish I could put my talent to use right away. But your game department has just been established. It hasn’t been long, and you haven’t turned around yet. In addition, you just graduated, so it’s normal that you haven’t been assigned tasks for the time being. But you have to keep your heart in your stomach. The company is not spending money to invite you people to come here. You can’t make it through How long does it take for you to have something to do?"

"Then we..."

Ren Hongfei wanted to say something more, but someone from the other side ran over and called Yu Dong, "Boss, the Q&A session is about to begin."

"Okay, I'll be here right away." Yu Dong nodded, and then said to Ren Hongfei: "If you have time, pay more attention to e-sports, it will definitely be useful for your future work. Okay, Q&A The meeting will start soon, we will talk again when we have time."

"Okay, boss."

Yu Dong showed an encouraging smile to Ren Hongfei, then turned around and walked to his seat to sit down.

After about one or two minutes, the question-and-answer session officially began.

The infield area of ​​the signing event is very large, providing more than 300 seats in total, and they are basically filled to the same extent. The front row is denser and the back row is sparser.

The first three rows are all media invited by Deep Space, basically all well-known media platforms, including ABC and Entertainment Weekly.

There was no host arranged at the scene. After the question and answer meeting started, Yu Dong directly picked up the microphone and said, "Everyone be quiet for a while. There are a lot of media friends here today, so I hope everyone can keep as quiet as possible so as not to affect the question and answer meeting. schedule."

Hearing Yu Dong's words, the scene suddenly became very quiet. Yu Dong smiled and nodded, "Thank you for your cooperation, and thank you for coming to the scene to participate in today's question-and-answer meeting. Friends who know me well know that I seldom hold this kind of event. Usually, I prefer to start signing directly. The reason why I want to hold this question-and-answer meeting today is because the outside world has paid more attention to me recently, so I just hold a question-and-answer meeting to communicate with you. Questions, you can ask as much as you want, and I will try my best to answer. Well, there is only half an hour in total, so I won’t delay everyone, let’s start, you all raise your hands, and I will call the roll.”

With sharp eyes and quick hands, he has already raised his hand, and soon, the scene is full of straight arms.

"The man in the yellow shirt in the middle of the second row."

The reporter who was selected stood up very happily, "Hello, Teacher Yu, I am Zhou Mi, a reporter from Yangcheng TV Weekly. Can you tell me what kind of opportunity made you decide to write science fiction again?"

"It's a good question." Yu Dong nodded, "I know, for a long time, many of my book friends have hoped that I can publish some more science fiction works, but in recent years, I have published "Curse", " "Old Books". It's not because I deliberately avoided the subject of science fiction, it's just that I haven't had any good ideas during this period of time. It's a coincidence that I have ideas this time. The director of "Harry Potter" Chris Columbus directed a movie not long ago called "Robot Butler". When I was talking about this movie with Jimmy, I had the urge to write a robot novel, and then there was "Wall-E" .”

The reporters wrote the key words "robot butler", "Harry Potter", and "Chris Columbus" in their small notebooks. They were also very satisfied with Dong's answer. After all, Yu Dong rarely answered so patiently. They problem.

"Okay, next question, the lady in red on the left."

"Hello, Mr. Yu, I'm Jiang Yan, a reporter from Mango TV. I want to ask you if you are satisfied with your new novel? If the full score is [-], how much score would you give this novel?"

Yu Dong raised his eyebrows, "Of course I am satisfied with my own novel, and if I am not satisfied, I will not write it. If I give a score, I will of course give myself a face, and I will give it [-] points. But there is one thing I I'm curious, if the full score is [-], Reporter Jiang, how would you rate Mango TV?"

"I……"

"Okay, next one, the man with glasses behind."

"Hello, Mr. Yu, I'm Hong Yu, a reporter from Xin'an Evening News. What I want to ask is, will we be lucky enough to get a book signed by you at the end of the Q&A session?"

When this question was asked, all the reporters laughed knowingly.Many of them are Yu Dong's readers, and they naturally hope to get a signed book by Yu Dong, but they have no way to queue up with other readers because they have to work.

Yu Dong nodded with a smile, "No problem. I'll sign for you later. This question is for you. Do you have any other questions?"

Hong Yu said with a look of surprise: "Thank you, Teacher Yu Dong, I still have a question, after "WALL-E", are you still planning to continue writing science fiction novels, or after this novel, you will continue to write science fiction novels for a long time? You don’t write science fiction anymore? You said at the annual meeting that you considered writing the movie “Source Code” into a novel, how do you think about it now? I think your fans of science fiction books are very concerned about this issue.”

It can be seen that this reporter named Hong Yu has done his homework.

Yu Dong nodded and replied: "Actually, this novel has already been written, and my manuscript has been handed over to the translator. When it will be able to meet you, it depends on the speed of translation. Of course, when the movie is released You must have seen it before."

"Huh—"

The reporters suddenly became agitated. This "Wall-E" has just been published, and another new book will be released. This is big news.

Seeing that the reporters reacted quite strongly, Yu Dong simply said a few more words, ""Source Code" is somewhat similar to "One Day" or "Prison No. [-]", and both have something to do with time and space. Received another novel of mine, which is the novel version of "Pounding Heartbeat."

Now the reaction from below became more intense, and many reporters couldn't help but whisper to each other.

"Fuck, what is Yu Dong's writing speed, three novels in a row?"

"Teacher Yu has always been prolific."

"That's not how productive it was before."

"Maybe...after the age of 30...entered the peak period of creation?"

"Oh, I forgot that Mr. Yu is only in his early 30s, so it's a bit plausible to say so."

……

Yu Dong coughed lightly, and the discussions at the scene stopped immediately, and he said again, "There should be only these three books in the first half of the year. I can't predict what will happen in the second half of the year. Okay, the next question , the tall man in front."

"Hello, Teacher Yu, I'm Qin Yuan. Recently, there have been rumors about you and the Mao Dun Literature Award. Can you tell me your views on this matter and your views on the Contradictory Literature Award?"

Yu Dong pondered: "The Mao Dun Literature Award is one of the highest honored literary awards in China. It is an honor for me to be discussed together with this award. As for the award, I know nothing better than There are many of you."

"Do you want to win an award?" Qin Yuan asked again.

Yu Dong said with a smile, "Naturally, I like to win awards the most. Not to mention awards like the Contradiction Literature Award, even the lucky draw at our company's annual meeting, I want them all. Of course, whether it is the Contradiction Literature Award, or Our company draws a lottery, and I hold the same attitude, I am lucky if I get it, and my life is lost, just let nature take its course and cannot be forced."

"Can you predict how many works will be awarded this year?"

Yu Dong shook his head, "I'm sorry, Mr. Qin, you have already asked two questions. The next one is the one on the left of Mr. Qin."

"Hello, Mr. Yu, what do you think about Xu Zheng's establishment of his own company?"

Hearing this question, Yu Dong frowned.

This happened just two days ago, and he didn't expect this reporter to be so well-informed. Yu Dong looked at the other party's work card, which had the logo of Fenghuang.com on it, and it seemed that he was a reporter from Fenghuang.

Xu Zheng is a person with a very flexible mind. He learns things quickly and is good at building interpersonal relationships. Even without Yu Dong's relationship, his development in the company is very good.

Since the filming of "Love Through Time and Space", Xu Zheng has become popular all over the country. At the beginning of this year, "Spring Brilliant Pig Bajie" starring him was a big hit again, which made his fame even higher.

It was at this time that Xu Zheng's relationship with the company underwent some subtle changes.

Deep Space Company has relatively strict control over artists' activities, whether it is accepting programs or receiving endorsements, they will check at every level, but in Xu Zheng's view, the programs and endorsements received by Deep Space for him are too few, which can't reflect his personality at all. the value of.

Since March, Xu Zheng began to secretly compete with the company.

Until the end of May, Xu Zheng redeemed himself, and then ran out to set up a company on his own.

When Yu Dong heard about this, he felt a little regretful, but he didn't say anything. It's normal for artists to come and go when they start a company. They have a contract, so they follow the contract. Xu Zheng pays liquidated damages, and Deep Space lets him go. .

In fact, Xu Zheng is not as simple as setting up a company by himself. There is Huayi's shadow behind him. Otherwise, such a smart person like him would not leave Deep Space Company so rashly.

Huayi was established later than Deep Space, and its scale is much smaller than that of Deep Space. However, Huayi has its own personal connections, and it has also achieved some development in the past two years. Gradually, it has ambitions and wants to leverage Deep Space. Empty this mountain.

It happened that Xu Zheng had other thoughts, and the two sides probably hit it off and got together.

Yu Dong didn't want to answer this question a little bit. It's normal for someone to leave the company, but he was still a little bit chilled. Xu Zheng didn't even go to tell him about it.

　Thank you for the 500 tip from [Uncle is a bit embarrassing], my voice is much better today, it’s amazing.What's even more amazing is that Pengpeng had a fever for a while, and then he was fine and was alive and kicking all day long.
