After arriving at Jinling Hotel, I could feel how many people came this time.
Many people knew that Yudong was crowded, so they did not go to Jinyi and stayed at Jinling Hotel.
After arriving at the hotel, Yu Dong greeted them one by one, his hands almost numb.
Jimmy had already settled down and was able to move around among the many guests with ease. It must be said that Jimmy's communication skills are truly unparalleled.
Not to mention so many people in front of him, Yu Dong felt a little overwhelmed in the small auditorium today. If Sting hadn't taken a good lead and performed on stage, the place at Jinyi would have been a bit cold today.
But Yu Dong doesn't need to deliberately look for others, because everyone wants to get close to him when they see him.
Ning Jing was the first one to run over, but she didn't look for him. Instead, she hugged Cheng Yanqiu's arm and said, "Sister, you are finally here. If I hadn't heard that you were coming, I would have wanted to go to Jin Yi's place."
It’s over.”
"If you had arrived at Jinling earlier, wouldn't you have been able to go?" Cheng Yanqiu said with a smile.
Ning Jing pouted and said, "I can't help it. I've been so busy lately that I almost couldn't come. How about you ask your brother-in-law to find less work for me."
Yu Dong glanced sideways at Ning Jing: "Okay, then I'll let Yiliang cancel all your dramas next year. You can play with your sister in Jinling."
"It doesn't matter if I don't have any work at all, I still have to eat."
"This is easy to handle. I will arrange a teaching assistant job for you in the Golden Arts Performance major. Food and accommodation will be included, and there will be a monthly subsidy of fifty yuan."
Ning Jing shook Cheng Yanqiu's arm and said, "Sister, you don't care."
Cheng Yanqiu rolled her eyes at Yu Dong and said, "Just tease her."
Yu Dong smiled and said: "I'm not completely joking. Ning Jing, you have time to go to Jinyi to help and teach some experience to the acting students."
"That depends on whether I have any schedule." Ning Jing said with her head held high.
Yu Dong smiled and shook his head, "Look at your sister, she is now the Golden Horse Best Actress, and her style is getting bigger and bigger."
Ning Jing felt a little embarrassed when she said this, "No, nomination, just nomination."
Cheng Yanqiu smiled and said, "The nomination is also very good. How old are you? There will be many opportunities in the future."
"Sister, let me tell you, actually I think the judges of the Golden Horse Awards have no discernment, otherwise the Best Actress would definitely be given to me..."
Listening to the two of them talking, Yu Dong smiled and shook his head. Ning Jing's career has been booming in the past two years. Last year's "Sunny Days" became a hit and she was nominated for Best Actress at the Golden Horse Awards this year.
If nothing else happens, "Red River Valley" will also bring her some awards.
In addition, she also co-starred in "New Shanghai Beach" with Leslie Cheung and Andy Lau.
As the two of them said this, Yu Dong suddenly heard someone calling him.
"YU, long time no see."
Yu Dong turned around and saw that it was Scorsese. He seemed to have just arrived. He came from the door of the restaurant and felt like he was dusty.
"Mr. Scorsese, you're here too." Yu Dong smiled and went up to shake Scorsese's hand. "Have you had a smooth journey?"
Scorsese smiled and nodded: "The journey went smoothly. I originally thought I would be late for dinner."
Then he gave way, pointed to the man standing behind him and said, "This is Woody Harrelson."
Yu Dong had just seen the burly bald man behind Scorsese. After all, Scorsese was very short and could not stop him at all. However, Yu Dong only thought he looked familiar and did not recognize him. When he heard Scorsese
After the introduction, Yu Dong suddenly said: "Hello, Mr. Harrison."
Looking at Yu Dong shaking hands with Woody Harrelson, Scorsese said: "Do you have time to go to the United States this year to attend the premiere of "Fatal Identity"?"
Yu Dong patted his forehead: "You know, there are several movies that I participated in released this year. If I go to the premiere of every one of them, I won't be able to do without them in the United States."
"You can go and settle in New York or Los Angeles. I will help you find a house and I will definitely satisfy you."
"Houses in New York are not cheap. I'll think about it after I make enough money." Yu Dong smiled and changed the subject: "How's it going? Do you have any plans for the next step? You came here with Mr. Harrison.
Is it related to a movie?”
"You are so smart. Harrison is indeed related to my next movie, but I am the producer and the director is Stephen Frears." Scorsese pushed up his glasses: "As for the next plan, actually
I am very interested in your new novel "Golden Dreams", maybe we can talk about it and make it into a movie."
Yu Dong raised his eyebrows. This was the second director to express interest in "Golden Dream" to him today. The previous one, Doug Liman, had already been declined by him.
He himself never thought that this novel would have such great charm.
However, he did not change his mind because of Scorsese, "Mr. Scorsese, I have no plans to make "Golden Dreams" into a movie for the time being. Maybe you can also take a look at my other works, such as "Deep Space"
Or The Last City."
These are the two least popular novels written by Yu Dong. Many people have asked about film and television adaptations of his other novels, but few people have asked about these two novels.
Even though the sales of "Deep Space" are very good, only lower than "Second World" and "Resident Evil", there are still not many people who want film and television adaptations.
After hearing Yu Dong recommend "Deep Space" and "The Last City", Scorsese waved his hand and said, "I can't make these two movies. I'll wait until you want to make "Golden Dreams"."
Then he pointed to Spielberg who was chatting with Harold not far away: "If you want to make "Deep Space", maybe you can let Spielberg give it a try. I think he is very suitable for this subject.
.And he is one of the only directors who has the ability to make this movie well. Ordinary directors cannot handle such grand science fiction scenes."
"I think Steven will be very happy to hear your evaluation."
"I'm just stating the facts."
Over there, Spielberg seemed to have heard the conversation between the two, and turned his head to look over. Then he smiled and said a few words to Harold, and the two of them walked this way.
As these directors gathered around Yu Dong, other directors or actors around him couldn't help but move in this direction.
After a while, Yu Dong was surrounded by a circle of people, all from the film and television industry, both at home and abroad.
Yu Dong saw Han Shanping who wanted to get inside at a glance, smiled and waved to him, "Director Han, let me introduce it to you."
Han Shanping had this intention. When he heard Yu Dong's words, his eyebrows bloomed with smile, and he walked to Yu Dong's side in two or three steps.
"Everyone, this is the person in charge of Yanjing Film Studio, Mr. Han Shanping."
With Yu Dong helping to introduce him, Spielberg and the others were naturally very considerate and went up one by one to shake hands with Han Shanping.
Han Shanping smiled and shook hands with Spielberg and the others. His desire to cooperate with Deep Space became stronger and stronger. He even made up his mind that if Zhang Heping was unwilling to cooperate with Deep Space, he would have to persuade him even if he threatened to withdraw funding.
Zhang Heping.
With resources as deep as deep space, why worry about things failing?
…
Because the annual meeting officially starts tomorrow, tonight's dinner is not grand. After everyone has eaten, it will be over at nine o'clock.
On the way back in the car, Yu Dong looked at Wang Shuo, who was sitting next to Yu Hua, and said, "Master Shuo, are you sure you can't sleep in the big bed in the hotel, so you have to go to Jin Yi's place?"
"How about I go back after playing cards?"
"Then when will it be, I won't send it to you."
"If you don't want to give it away, I won't give it away. Give me a 28-inch big bumper and I will ride back."
"Go to my guest room to spend the night." Yu Hua said next to him: "I say you too. If you really want to play cards, try it with Han Shaogong, and the game will start. You must come back to school with us.
."
"I only have to play cards with you to be at ease. Han Shaogong is a very competitive guy. If you beat him, he will definitely be thinking about winning back."
Yu Dong and the others did not refute Wang Shuo's words. They had personally experienced Han Shaogong's desire to win. During the representative meeting, after Han Shaogong lost, he specially posted a "War" message on Yu Hua's door.
Book.
In fact, Han Shaogong wanted to take revenge tonight, and he kept mentioning this matter during the meal, but later on, they were pulled by Wang Shuo and let Han Shaogong go.
After arriving at Jinyi, Mo Yan, Yu Hua, Bi Feiyu, and Wang Shuo gathered together at Bi Feiyu's house to cook eggs while Yu Dong watched from the sidelines.
When they were deciding what to play, Mo Yan and the others saw that Wang Shuo had never played egg-cracking, so they tried to persuade him to try another method.
When it comes to egg-breaking, Yu Hua and the others are experienced veterans. Wang Shuo is no match for them. He lost more than 100 yuan in an hour and a half, directly breaking Han Shaogong's money-losing efficiency record.
.
Seeing Wang Shuo scratching his hair after losing, Yu Hua smiled and offered him a cigarette, "Take it easy, don't lose all the royalties Yu Yuanwai gave you."
Wang Shuo took the cigarette, lit it, and said with disdain, "Look what you can do."
After taking a puff of cigarette, Wang Shuo regained some energy and looked at Yu Dong: "Speaking of copyright, I still want to tell you about the movie adaptation. It's not convenient for me to come forward here, but I can give you some advice.
I have been thinking about this matter since I finished writing this novel, but I never had the chance to do it. Don’t worry, I will give you my advice for free."
Yu Dong didn't want to talk about business on this occasion, but Wang Shuo insisted, so he continued: "If you really have any ideas, it would be good to share them with us for reference. If you already have a script in mind, you might as well write it out directly.
Look. As for whether to let you come forward, we can discuss it again."
"I will definitely not be able to come forward. If I do, it will definitely be disgraceful. I know this myself."
"The screenwriting fee will always be given to you."
"There is no screenwriting fee..." Wang Shuo paused, then looked at the cards on the table, "Let's do it this way, whatever I lose tonight, you make up for it for me, and it will be considered the screenwriting fee."
"No, this is too childish." Yu Dong shook his head and refused.
"You are too serious." Wang Shuo flicked the ashes from his cigarette and asked Yu Hua and the others: "What do you think of my proposal?"
Yu Hua gave him a roll of his eyes and said, "It's none of our business, just show your cards right away."
Wang Shuo was stunned and honestly played his cards, then looked at Yu Dong: "That's it. If you are worried that I will regret it later, we can establish a written agreement."
Yu Dong smiled and said, "You can talk to Yi Liang about the evidence, but what I'm more concerned about is, what if you win tonight?"
Wang Shuo waved his hand: "That's impossible, unless these people do good people and good deeds. Okay, stop inking, it's settled. Remember, I've lost a hundred and one now, make up for it later."
superior."
"Okay, no problem." Yu Dong nodded in agreement.
Yu Dong made up his mind to go fooling around with Wang Shuo tonight, and wait until tomorrow for Yiliang to talk to him about the script. He would give him as much screenwriting fee as he should, otherwise he would be in trouble if something happened later.
It's really hard to do.
"Okay, let's talk about the script. When I finished writing this novel, I thought that maybe it would be turned into a movie later, so I have been thinking about it from the beginning..."
Wang Shuo was talking eloquently, and although Yu Hua and the others thought he was slow in playing cards, they didn't say anything and listened to him patiently without urging him.
"You Are Not a Commoner" was previously published in Harvest, and happened to be next to Yu Dong's "Death of a Widow".
Of course, Yu Hua and others have read this novel and remember the plot in it.
"You Are Not a Commoner" mainly tells a story about praising people. A bunch of people got together to form Association No. 3, which did nothing but only praising people. It was a bit nonsensical.
Wang Shuo is now talking about the script. He did not mention the exciting plot before, but mainly started to expand from "A Day Trip to a Good Dream".
He believes that if it is to be made into a movie, "A Dream Day Trip" should be the core of the story.
"I think it has to play a role in some irony. A good dream may not necessarily be a good dream, it may also be a bad dream. People may not cherish what they want in their hearts if it is really given to them.
Big stars want to have their own time and not be disturbed by others. Poor people want money, but rich people are pretentious. They think nothing of it. They think about the good times when they have no money every day. Anyway, no one is content..."
Yu Dong laughed and said: "If you write it like this, you may not be able to survive. This Lunar New Year festival requires a positive theme, so sarcasm is naturally good, but it will not work if it is too late."
Wang Shuo just finished smoking a cigarette and had no cigarettes at hand. He reached out and grabbed a cigarette from Yu Hua, lit it, and continued: "There is nothing difficult about this matter. You can definitely solve it. Irony is irony, the main thing is to highlight it.
If one cherishes the present moment, isn’t that positive?”
"Whether it is positive or not, I don't have to say. Later, when the script is written, it must be sent to Zhang Heping and Han Shanping for review. If they say it is positive, then it will be positive."
"This is troublesome, so I said you can't put my name on it. You write the script. You can definitely handle the scale well."
"How can I have time to write a script for you now? If you are not idle right now, you can just do it yourself."
"Hey, if you bought my novel, are you irresponsible?"
"Let's not talk about who will write it for now. You can continue to talk about what other dreams you have."
Chapter completed!
