After taking a cold shower, Yu Dong couldn't sleep.
Looking at his fiancée who was sleeping soundly, Yu Dong turned off the other lights, leaving only the light next to the table, and then found paper and pen from his bag and started writing a diary.
When he came to Lanshi for the first time, he always wanted to record something. He was afraid of forgetting some things, so he wrote them down first, and then he would write an essay after his trip to Lanshi was over.
Maybe as I write, I get some inspiration and write a novel.
Cheng Yanqiu is on vacation tomorrow, and Yu Dong is going to take her around Lan City first. When she has to work, he will run around to take a look around and get a feel for this northwest city.
This time he came here without much luggage, just a bag with few clothes in it. Many of them were materials provided by the Sichuan Association for Science and Technology and Jinling University of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
Regarding "The Martian", he still needs to carefully study the research materials to ensure that there will be no major problems when writing.
After sitting at his desk writing until twelve o'clock, Yu Dong also felt sleepy, so he lay down on the sofa holding the quilt.
…
In Yang Xiao's office, Jimmy is holding a large-diameter enamel tea jar.
There was a large cup of tea brewing in the teapot, and Jimmy had some difficulty holding the handle with one hand, so he had to hold it with the other hand.
Seeing Jimmy's effort, Yang Xiao smiled and said, "I told you, no one here drinks tea like this."
Jimmy poured out the tea foam with the teapot lid, stretched his neck and took a sip of hot tea.
"I just love drinking tea like this, it's fun."
"If you think it's interesting, I'll give you an enamel teapot later, and I'll give you a bag of good tea, and you can drink it when you go back."
Jimmy shook his head, "The tea is good, the water is good, the tea sets are good, the most important thing is the environment where you drink tea and the tea lovers you meet. I like to drink tea in President Yang's office. When I see you, I feel like I'm seeing China."
The past and future of science fiction, I saw the pillars of a skyscraper..."
"Take, stop, stop, we haven't known each other for a day or two. If you have something to say, talk about it and don't just flatter us. What's the reason for this time?"
Jimmy smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. A few days ago, "Science Fiction King" has been looking for science fiction authors. You should have heard about this. The conditions they offered were very good, and some of the authors were really attracted by it.
, but I was still suppressed."
Yang Xiao looked at Jimmy with a smile. This guy lied three times, and what he said may not be true. But regarding "Science Fiction King", the initiative really lies in Jimmy's hands.
Nowadays, most of the famous science fiction writers in China have signed contracts with Jimmy. The most important thing is that Yu Dong also cooperates with Jimmy, and it is such an in-depth cooperation. Otherwise, Yu Dong would not be able to write a novel called Deep Space, directly
They used the name of Jimmy's company.
If Yu Dong and Jimmy are going to "Science Fiction King", there is nothing they can do.
However, Yang Xiao believes that Jimmy will not easily run away with the author. "Science Fiction World" is now developing very well, sales are rising, and the brand effect is also emerging. If they cooperate, they will both win, and if they divide, they will both lose.
"If you have any ideas, just say it directly."
Jimmy nodded, "I want you to cooperate with "Science Fiction King"."
"cooperate?"
"Well, let's cooperate. "Science Fiction King" has a big appetite now and wants to do everything. It not only wants to compete with you in the field of original literature and translation of foreign masterpieces, but also wants to develop comics. This is how I do it.
Not optimistic."
Yang Xiao picked up his tea cup and took a sip, "I know something about this, and they have no choice but to do this. As far as I know, they lack professionals in the comics field, so they want to take advantage of the sci-fi world.
Bo Dongfeng first uses the text section to attract readers. Their idea is very simple. Even if the comics cannot be made, at least the text section can still follow "Science Fiction World"."
"Oh, there's a problem. If you give up, give up, you will get something. They want both ends, but in the end they will lose both ends. I don't see any intention to make science fiction comics from them.
Determination is too timid." Jimmy shook his head and sighed, looking distressed.
If you didn't know the details, you would think Jimmy was really worried about "Science Fiction King".
"You, it doesn't hurt to stand and talk. If they have money and people, they will naturally have determination. Now that there is no money and no one, of course we can only think of this compromise method, cross the river by feeling the stones, and take it one step at a time."
"So, am I here to save them? I have been setting up a comic team a few days ago. They are short of people, so I can provide them, and they are short of materials, so I can also provide them."
"I didn't see it, but you, Jimmy, are still a kind person."
"President Yang, please listen to me tell you in detail..."
In the following time, Jimmy briefly explained his plan to Yang Xiao.
He plans to promote the cooperation between the two magazines "Science Fiction World" and "Science Fiction King", so that "Science Fiction King" will directly abandon the text section and concentrate on comics.
Of course, "Science Fiction World" cannot do comics, and the comics market must be left to "Science Fiction King".
When it comes to cooperation, of course it cannot be that simple. According to Jimmy, after the release of "Science Fiction King", both parties will promote each other. Once the works of the authors in Jimmy's hand are handed over to "Science Fiction King", they will be specially marked.
"Science Fiction World".
Yang Xiao agreed with not making comics, because she had no such plan in the first place.
But when it comes to promoting each other, Yang Xiao has some opinions. She believes that compared to the current size of the two magazines, their "Science Fiction World" has an absolute advantage.
Their "Science Fiction World" does not need the help of "Science Fiction King" to promote it. On the contrary, if "Science Fiction King" has "Science Fiction World" to help promote it, they will be much better off in the early stage.
No matter how you look at this comparison, "Science Fiction World" is at a disadvantage.
"President Yang, you need to take a long-term view. Although they need your help more in the early stage, in the later stage, they will be able to help you. Moreover, I am also planning to set up an animation company, so that the three of us will form a complete industrial chain.
Only when we work together can we become bigger and stronger. It will not work if we work alone."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At this moment, Yang Xiao finally understood.
After all, Jimmy just wants to raise their two magazines like hens to help him lay eggs. The ultimate goal is to serve the animation company he talks about.
The key is that in this industry chain, Jimmy holds the front-end and back-end and has absolute control.
The front-end is the writers. They output the text, hand it over to "Science Fiction World", go through a round of brewing and publicity, and then send it to "Science Fiction King" to make it into comics and then go through a second round of brewing and publicity.
After everything has been planned, Jimmy will turn these works into animations and send them to the market to make money.
With the first two rounds of publicity and screening, the step of producing animation is basically a guaranteed profit.
However, Yang Xiao also knows that if this industry chain can be formed, it will be beneficial to the entire industry, and their "Science Fiction World" will definitely benefit, and it will ultimately be a win-win situation.
And only Jimmy can do this. He has money, people, ideas, and more importantly, channels.
Yang Xiao couldn't find any reason not to agree.
Finally, Yang Xiao knocked on the coffee table and said, "You can resolve the matter of "Science Fiction King" first, and we will talk about the rest later."
Jimmy said confidently: "No problem."
In fact, Jimmy had considered getting a magazine by himself before, but after thinking about it, it was not only troublesome, but also had no advantages.
Although "Science Fiction King" is a grassroots team, they have official endorsement, so they are not afraid of anything happening.
Although Yang Xiao hasn't finalized it yet, Jimmy knows that the matter is basically done, and all that's left is to finish "Science Fiction King".
This matter is even simpler. Niu Erfang has no money, no one, and no channels. Jimmy ran over and made sure he got it right.
…
When Cheng Yanqiu woke up in the morning, she found that she was the only one in the house, and Yu Dong didn't know where he was.
I lay down on the bed after taking a shower last night, and then I didn’t know anything. I have been really busy these days. There are more than 30 programs in this art festival, and their advisory group has to face various problems every day.
.
Moreover, the hotel room they stayed in was in average condition, definitely not comparable to the one Yu Dong stayed in, so last night was the best sleep she had recently.
She also had a long dream last night, dreaming that she and Yu Dong were walking hand in hand on the school's cinder track in their school uniforms. As they walked, the school uniforms turned into wedding dresses and the cinder track turned into a red carpet.
At the end of the red carpet, relatives of both parties were waiting for them one by one with smiling faces.
When they walked in front of their relatives, they found that each of them was holding a child, a boy and a girl. They called Yu Dong's father and her mother.
"Are you awake?"
Cheng Yanqiu was reminiscing about last night's dream when Yu Dong pushed the door open carrying a bag.
"I didn't dare to buy anything else, so I searched around and found soy milk fried dough sticks. I saw that there were quite a lot of customers eating there, so it should be pretty good."
Yu Dong opened the bag, took out the soy milk and fried dough sticks and placed them on the table, "Are you getting up to eat now?"
Cheng Yanqiu didn't speak, but stared at him with a strange look.
"What's wrong?"
"Get out quickly, I'll get dressed." Cheng Yanqiu finally said.
Yu Dong patted his head, "Hey, forget about this. How about I close my eyes and turn around, and you change from behind? I promise, I will never..."
Before he finished speaking, a pillow flew over.
Yu Dong ducked to avoid the pillow attack, and then hurriedly ran out, shouting as he ran: "Get out when you get out, don't be violent."
…
The two of them went shopping after breakfast. There is still something to do in Lan City today, and the business district is quite good.
Today they specially went to the restaurant recommended by the front desk clerk, and after dinner in the evening, Yu Dong also bought a bunch of desserts and asked Cheng Yanqiu to take them to her colleagues.
He sent Cheng Yanqiu downstairs to the hotel. Considering that Cheng Yanqiu did not live alone and there was a girl in the same room, Yu Dong did not go up.
Cheng Yanqiu waved to Yu Dong while carrying snacks, and then went upstairs.
When she returned to the room, she found that Bai Yan and Xu Yu were both there. The two were chatting, but when they saw her coming back, they stared at her with four bright eyes.
"Hey! Why don't you hurry up and recruit me truthfully!"
Bai Yan suddenly jumped up, startling Cheng Yanqiu.
"Bai Yan, why are you so crazy?"
Bai Yan shook her head and said, "I'm not crazy, it's you who are crazy. Tell me, who is your fiancé?"
"What's your background? People's teacher." Cheng Yanqiu opened the bag in his hand and said, "I brought you some desserts."
"Wow, dessert." Bai Yan ran over, found a piece of sugar cake, and took a firm bite.
After chewing two mouthfuls, she added, "Don't try to get away with desserts. We all know that your fiancé is Yu Dong!"
Cheng Yanqiu burst out laughing, "The person who said this is Yu Dong. Didn't I introduce him to you at noon?"
"No, no, no, I mean, he is the great writer Yu Dong, the same Yu Dong who wrote "Death of a Widow" and it was also made into a movie."
"Oh, so I'm talking about this, haven't I told you before?"
"No, absolutely not." Xu Yu said.
"I must have forgotten that." Cheng Yanqiu smiled and stuffed the dessert into their hands: "Blame me, blame me, I should have reported it to you in advance. Eat some dessert to calm down."
"I think you want to gag us with desserts." Bai Yan was not polite. She took all the desserts Cheng Yanqiu gave her, "Don't worry, we won't tell anyone else, but you
You have to keep it a secret. If you are found out later, you can’t blame us. Haha, if Senior Brother Chen Feng knew about this, his heart would freeze. There is no way he can dig out this foundation."
"Eat your dessert." Xu Yu pushed Bai Yan and signaled her not to talk about it.
Chen Feng is their senior brother and has always liked Cheng Yanqiu, but Cheng Yanqiu has always ignored him. When they met again this time, Chen Feng went to find Cheng Yanqiu again, but learned that she already had a fiancé.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After knowing that Cheng Yanqiu had a fiancé, Chen Feng has been holding back his energy. After all, he has a high self-esteem and is unwilling to lose to others.
That's why Bai Yan said this. After all, in her opinion, no matter what level of comparison, Chen Feng cannot be compared to Dong.
But for some reason, Bai Yan vaguely hopes to see Yu Dong and Chen Feng meet. It must be very interesting.
…
What Bai Yan didn't expect was that the scene she expected would happen the next day.
Yu Dong arrived at Baitashan Park early the next morning.
Cheng Yanqiu and others in the group were arranging their musical instruments. Yu Dong saw Cheng Yanqiu from a distance and was about to walk over when he spotted an unknown creature.
This unknown creature has been wandering around Cheng Yanqiu. Although it is not very close, Yu Dong's keen observation ability found that the unknown creature's attention is focused on his fiancée and it always wants to get close to her.
After identification, this is the enemy.
Bai Yan was chatting with Xu Yu when she suddenly felt that the aura around her had changed.
There is a situation!
Then she and Xu Yu saw Yu Dong coming from a distance.
"Yu Dong!" Bai Yan grabbed Xu Yu's arm tightly: "You have watched a good show. Have you noticed that there is a fierce light in Yu Dong's eyes?"
Xu Yu pouted: "From this far away, you can see whatever light is in his eyes?"
"It's not about seeing, it's about feeling."
Bai Yan and Xu Yu saw Yu Dong, but did not tell Cheng Yanqiu. Cheng Yanqiu was facing away from Yu Dong at the moment and did not notice him.
Others may have seen Yu Dong, but no one knows him.
After Cheng Yanqiu organized the instruments, he was about to start moving them when Chen Feng suddenly ran over and said, "Yanqiu, let me help you."
"No, it doesn't matter. I can do it myself."
"It's okay, I'll do it, you..." As he said that, Chen Feng was about to snatch the musical instrument from Cheng Yanqiu's hand.
At this moment, a hand stretched out and stood between the two of them.
"No, I'll do it."
Yu Dong picked up the drum on the ground and asked Cheng Yanqiu, "Mrs. Yu, where should this drum be moved?"
Cheng Yanqiu didn't expect Yu Dong to come suddenly, and... what's going on with Mrs. Yu? He has never called herself that?
She pointed blankly in front of her: "Just move it over there, we'll need it later."
"As you command, Madam Yu."
Yu Dong held the drum in his arms and walked quickly to the designated location, put the drum down, and then turned back, "Mrs. Yu, do you have any other instructions?"
Chen Feng looked at Yu Dong who suddenly appeared and asked Cheng Yanqiu: "Who is this?"
Yu Dong looked at Chen Feng, "I am Mr. Yu."
"Oh." Chen Feng lowered his head. He didn't know why he lowered his head like a loser. Then he raised his head and looked at Yu Dong, "You must be Yanqiu's fiancé. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you."
Yu Dong raised his eyebrows, "It seems that my wife told you about me."
"I told you, but you are different from what I imagined." Chen Feng raised his head, "I thought the fiancé Yanqiu found would be more special. At least he wouldn't show off her friends when they first met her.
You show such strong hostility. This inevitably makes people feel that you are not confident."
Yu Dong said with a smile, "I'm sorry to disappoint you. But I didn't expect that you would be my wife's friend."
"He is a senior brother of mine." Cheng Yanqiu said.
"Oh, senior brother, it seems that this senior brother's Chinese language skills are not very good, and he mistakenly thinks that senior brother is the same as friend. As a Chinese teacher, I don't mind explaining the difference between senior brother and friend.
."
Chen Feng gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's get busy. The team leader will come soon. He will definitely criticize us if we haven't cleaned up yet. Also, please don't touch the instruments if they are idle. If there is any damage, you will be responsible for it."
."
After saying that, Chen Feng turned around and left.
After he left, Cheng Yanqiu looked at Yu Dong with a smile on his face, "You're on the hook today. I've never seen you like this before. Or do we, the extraordinary writer Yu, sometimes get jealous?"
"This is not called jealousy, this is called declaring sovereignty."
"Okay, I have nothing to do with him."
Yu Dong shook his head, "Flies hang around flowers and will not change due to the will of the flowers. If you want to drive them away, you can only rely on the brave flower protectors. Madam Yu, I am willing to drive away all flies for you."
"Stop joking, I have to get down to business. My teacher will be here soon."
Starting to work, Yu Dong ignored the harsh words uttered by the unknown creature just now. He helped when he needed help and touched the instrument when he needed to.
On the other side, Bai Yan and Xu Yu saw the battle was over and ran over.
"Teacher Yu Dong, hello, hello, I'm a fan of your books." Bai Yan got close to her as soon as she came over.
Yu Dong doubted, "Have you read my book?"
I really have read his books, so I didn’t have such a dull reaction to his name yesterday.
"I watched it last night." Bai Yan was thick-skinned enough and continued to add, "I have always been a fan of your movies before. I watched "Soft Knife" several times, and I cried every time I watched it."
"Then let me thank you on behalf of Zhang Yimou and Gong Li."
"Do you still know Zhang Yimou and Gong Li?"
Xu Yu rolled his eyes at the side, "Bai Yan, aren't you talking nonsense? How could this director not know the author of the original work?"
"That's right." Bai Yan smiled and continued, "Teacher Yu Dong..."
"You should just call me Yu Dong."
"Oh, okay, Yu Dong, that was Chen Feng just now. One of our senior brothers has been chasing Yanqiu, but we guarantee you that Yanqiu has never paid attention to him. It was all his wishful thinking. Don't worry, we will definitely stand by you.
side……"
As he was talking, a man in his fifties or sixties came over, and everyone present greeted him.
"Hello, Team Leader Liu."
"Hello, Senior Brother Liu."
Team leader Liu looked around, nodded and said, "After setting it up, we will try the effect later to see how the sound effects of this piece are and if there is anything that needs to be adjusted."
"good."
After Team Leader Liu gave his instructions, he walked towards Cheng Yanqiu and the others. Just as he was about to tell them something, he noticed Yu Dong beside him and asked, "Who is this?"
Cheng Yanqiu introduced shyly: "Teacher, he is my fiancé."
Liu Shikun said in surprise: "You are Yanqiu's fiancé. Yes, you look like a talented person. Are you from Jinling?"
"No, I came from Rongcheng."
"Is your family from Rongcheng?"
Yu Dong smiled and replied, "My family is from Shanghai. I went to Rongcheng to do some things."
"Oh, okay, okay. I heard from Yanqiu that you teach drama. You will give us some guidance and give us some valuable advice from your perspective as a dramatist."
"Teacher, you may have misunderstood. I teach drama and creative literature. In theory, I am a Chinese teacher."
"Oh, that's it." Liu Shikun laughed, "That's because Yanqiu didn't explain it clearly, but it's okay. It's okay to come over and have fun. By the way, what do you call me? I can't just call you Yanqiu's fiancé, right?"
"My name is Yu Dong, Qian Gou Yu, Dongfang Dong."
"Yu Dong, Yu Dong." Liu Shikun read Yu Dong's name twice, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "You can't be..."
"That's right, Senior Brother Liu, he is the great writer Yu Dong."
When Bai Yan heard Yu Dong introduce herself, she had been looking at Liu Shikun expectantly, hoping that he would recognize Yu Dong, and now she couldn't help but rush to say it.
"It's really you. I like your "Xiangxi" very much. I'm also planning to wait for it to come out as a single book before buying another one." Liu Shikun smiled and shook his head, marveling that the world is really too small.
He was not complimenting Yu Dong, but he really liked "Westward". Originally, when he was going to serve as a judge at the Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition in June, he was thinking about whether he could catch up with the release of the single "Westward" and even asked his family to
I bought a copy for him, but I didn't expect that "Xiangxi" would be delayed.
"Hey, what a coincidence."
Liu Shikun took Yu Dong's arm and shouted to the others, "Come on, come on, everyone, stop for a moment, I will introduce a teacher to you."
When Cheng Yanqiu saw Liu Shikun holding Yu Dong, he knew something was wrong.
Liu Shikun is her senior brother and her teacher. He is a piano master. In the eyes of outsiders, he is very elegant, but people who are familiar with him know that although he is over fifty years old, his personality is very out-of-the-box and he is always good at everything he does.
It's one out.
At this moment, he pulled Yu Dong to introduce it to everyone. Cheng Yanqiu was not surprised at all. This was like something he could do.
