After the annual meeting, everyone went to the Jinling Hotel. Before the dinner started, there was an interview session.
This session is not long and not everyone will be interviewed.
Yu Dong showed up with Yu Hua and the others. The reporters were quite well-informed. Although they were not allowed to attend the auditorium, they still knew that Yu Dong was the major shareholder of Deep Space China, so the questions were all focused on
got this piece.
"Regarding this matter, our company will issue an announcement on Deep Sky. If you want to know specific information, you can log in to Deep Sky to view it. In addition, Deep Sky is now vigorously developing the news section, and we sincerely invite friends from the media to join the website
.You can also contact our staff to verify your identity. Once the verification is passed, your certified identity will be displayed on your deep space ID."
Yu Hua stood behind Yu Dongfang and whispered to Mo Yan: "The boss is the boss. He can help promote the company's business anytime and anywhere."
Yu Dong heard what Yu Hua said and pulled him forward with a smile: "I just got the news that the total sales of Teacher Yu Hua's "Alive" in North America have exceeded two million copies, which is an outstanding achievement. And he usually
He will also be wandering around in deep space, and maybe you can chat on the website."
"Teacher Yu Hua, what is your nickname in deep space?"
"Congratulations, Teacher Yu Hua, for being able to sell two million copies in North America is really impressive."
"Teacher Yu Hua, do you have any new works recently?"
The reporters also saw that Yu Dong didn't want to answer questions, so he pulled Yu Hua out and asked Yu Hua questions.
Yu Dong smiled and patted Yu Hua on the shoulder: "Teacher Yu Hua, please chat with the reporters for a while. I have something to do in the restaurant. Dear reporter friends, we will go to the deep space annual meeting today and we will do the interview later.
Don’t forget to go in for a meal when you’re done.”
Mo Yan and Bi Feiyu also patted Yu Hua on the shoulders.
"Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Yu Hua."
Yu Hua stretched out his hand to catch them, but failed, and was surrounded by reporters.
Yu Dong and Mo Yan walked inside with a smile. Mo Yan said with a smile: "I understand, you can't offend anyone but Yu Yuanwai."
"I don't agree with what you said, Mo Yan. I'm repaying evil with kindness by providing him with such a good publicity opportunity." As he said that, Yu Dong looked back at Yu Hua, who was surrounded by reporters.
"And look, does he look a little embarrassed? I think he really enjoys being interviewed."
Bi Feiyu nodded in agreement: "This is true, Yu Hua is indeed not shy about the camera."
The three of them walked inside chatting and laughing. As soon as they entered the restaurant, they saw Yang Xiao chatting with several science fiction writers. Liu Cixin, Wang Jingkang and others were all there.
Yu Dong smiled and said hello, "President Yang, why don't you go and take a seat and are you still standing at the door?"
"We were talking about Liu's new movie "Bring Her Eyes". We happened to meet each other, so let's chat. The party hasn't started yet, and there are still a lot of people to be interviewed."
Yang Xiao used to call Liu Cixin Xiao Liu, but later he heard that Yu Dong and others always called him Da Liu, so he followed suit.
Yu Dong lowered his head and looked at his watch: "We still have half an hour to eat at most. If you are hungry, we have prepared some pastries. You can fill your stomach first."
Wang Jingkang pushed up his glasses and said with a smile: "I saved my stomach just for tonight's big meal. Now if you ask us to eat pastries, who will do it?"
Hu Changqing joked: "Can't you understand this? He is the boss of the company, so of course he has to save money for the company."
"Stop making fun of me." Yu Dong smiled, waved his hand, and asked, "You were talking about "Bring Her Eyes" just now. Did you hear any news?"
"No, a few of them joked that when the movie is released, they will organize a trip to the United States to watch it," Liu Cixin said.
Tan Kai said with a smile: "We are not joking. If we have time when it is released, we will really go and see it. Although there are Yu Dong's "Second World" and "Resident Evil" before it, this "Bring It On"
"Her Eyes" has more reference significance for us. Moreover, we happened to go to see the foreign science fiction environment, but we always only looked at paper data and did not have an intuitive feeling. Yu Dong, are you right?
?”
"I think it's okay, just go and see it. Jimmy didn't elaborate on it at the annual meeting just now, but starting from the new year, science fiction will be our main theme abroad. Science fiction movies will be an important part of the future film market.
Part, so at this time, we have to seize the opportunity to promote domestic excellent science fiction novels. Although Jimmy’s previous unit drama did not become a hit, it also gained a group of viewers, which is for you to enter the North American market in the future.
Made some preparations."
Yu Dong can feel that Yang Xiao and other domestic science fiction authors are becoming more and more ambitious and are no longer satisfied with the domestic market.
This is very good. No matter what kind of war they fight, the morale of the military must be available, so Yu Dong will go out of his way to encourage them.
"We mainly go there with a learning mentality. After all, our science fiction started late and there is still a lot of room for improvement." Yang Xiao said.
She was afraid that Liu Cixin and the others had too high expectations and would be disappointed later, so she cooled them down in advance.
"By the way, you don't have to go abroad to watch "Bring Her Eyes". Maybe this movie will be released in China later," Yu Dong said with a smile.
"Released in China?" Liu Cixin looked at Yu Dong in surprise. This was the first time he heard this news.
Liu Cixin had thought about this before. Isn't there a system for importing blockbusters in China now? Will "Bring Her Eyes" be introduced to the country? However, there has been no news about this, so he didn't worry about it anymore.
Up.
At this moment, Yu Dong mentioned this matter again, which made Liu Cixin excited.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Tan Kai patted his head: "Yes, isn't it possible to introduce external films now?"
"Has this matter been settled? Yu Dong, you must have inside information." Wang Jingkang asked.
"I can't give you a definite answer now. The specific news will have to wait for a few more months." Yu Dong looked at the front and smiled: "Let's talk about it later. I'll talk to Editor-in-Chief Li Xiaolin."
His departure immediately aroused complaints from everyone.
"You just love to show off!"
Yang Xiao shook his head and sighed: "Otherwise, those who are close to red are red and those who are close to ink are dark. Yu Dong has known Jimmy for a long time and has learned from Jimmy that he likes to titillate people. Okay, let's not do this.
Let’s talk more. I suggest that you guys just work on your creations in peace and leave other things to Deep Space Company. Now you have also seen that Yu Dong is the boss of Deep Space. You all know what he is like.
I won’t trick you.”
"Sister Xiao, you are kidding me. I really never thought that deep space would trick me. To be honest, given our situation before, what kind of trick could deep space have on us? In the early days, in order to promote us, they
The company also provides subsidies," Wang Jingkang said.
Yang Xiao nodded, and she agreed with Wang Jingkang's words. In the past two years, these science fiction writers began to make money for deep space. In the first few years, companies basically paid them.
Deep Space Company not only posts these writers, but also helps "Science Fiction World" and "Science Fiction King" a lot. It can be said that without Deep Space Company, they would not develop so well, at least not so fast.
Now they are beginning to support Deep Space Corporation, and it is Deep Space Corporation that reaps what it sows.
At the same time, Yang Xiao also lamented that at that time, the Deep Space Company was entirely supported by the work of Yu Dong. Now, a few years later, it has blossomed into many aspects and become a behemoth that cannot be ignored.
…
The people sitting next to Li Xiaolin were all the heads of magazines, such as "Yuhua", "Flower City", "People's Literature" and other magazines, and Yu Dong's senior brother Su Tong was also there.
Seeing Yu Dong and Bi Feiyu passing by, Li Xiaolin smiled and said, "We were just talking about you."
Yu Dong and the others pulled up chairs and sat down, "What are we talking about?"
Lu Mengping, deputy editor-in-chief of "Flower City" said with a smile: "Isn't the Lu Xun Literature Award about to start? Each of our magazines is considering which works to submit, so naturally we will talk about you. This time, our magazine will definitely recommend Yu Dong.
Teacher, your "Tree Hole"."
"Actually, I want to submit "Death of a Widow"." Li Xiaolin sighed: "Unfortunately, this time the Lu Xun Award only awards works published in 1995-96. Your "Death of a Widow" is not up to the mark."
Yu Dong smiled and said: "Will there be awards next year?"
Li Xiaolin shook his head, "It should wait until the year after next. Next year will be spent on award evaluation."
"That's a long time." Mo Yan said with a smile.
Mo Yan doesn't care much about the Lu Xun Literature Award. He has published a novel in the past two years. Awards like the Lu Xun Literature Award that only recognize short stories and short stories basically have nothing to do with him, at least for this year.
If we want to say who among the three of them is most likely to win the Lu Xun Literature Award, it must be Bi Feiyu, because he has a lot of short stories, especially in the past two years. A rough calculation shows that he has published a lot of short stories in the past two years.
There are nearly twenty short stories and short stories in major magazines.
Li Rujing, the editor-in-chief of "Writer" magazine, also came this time. He was wearing a pair of thick glasses with a brown light in the lenses. His eyes didn't look very bright. When he heard Mo Yan's words, he smiled.
Then he said: "Since we have waited for so long, everyone can wait for one more year."
Then he looked at Bi Feiyu and said, "Teacher Bi, our agency is going to send your "8 Beds" and "Breastfeeding Woman" this time. What do you think?"
"Okay, I have no objection." Bi Feiyu nodded. He has cooperated more with "Writer". He has published as many as four or five novels in "Writer" in the past two years, but the two mentioned by Li Rujing are indeed a few.
The two most competitive articles.
Moreover, "Writer" could help him submit two novels, which can be said to value him very much. After all, the number of works submitted by each unit is limited. If you send one more by Bi Feiyu, you will get one less.
Article by someone else.
"Actually, when I look at which works can win awards, we sit together and we can come up with half of them, if not all." Li Rujing said.
Li Xiaolin glanced at Li Rujing and said, "President Li, this is not something you can say casually."
Faced with Li Xiaolin's reminder, Li Rujing didn't take it seriously, "It doesn't matter, we are just chatting casually. Which novel will win the prize in the end will naturally not be affected by us. We don't guess, nor can we guess, about reportage, poetry, essays, etc.
Just guess the novellas and short stories. Although I didn’t specify how many articles for each category, I guess there should be four to ten articles for each category. Let’s just guess based on the one with the most, ten for each category.
Articles, the two items add up to twenty articles.”
Lu Mengping rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Then I will definitely recommend "Tree Hole"."
"How many words are there in "Tree Hole"?" Li Rujing asked.
"More than 20,000 words, less than 30,000 words."
"You have to understand that according to the standards of the Lu Xun Literature Award, a novel with more than 25,000 words is considered a novella, and a novel with less than 25,000 words is considered a short story."
"It's a short story." Yu Dong said, "Including punctuation marks, it should be more than 23,000 words."
"That's a short story." Li Rujing said with a smile: "I personally think "Breastfeeding Woman" should win the award. It is also a short story. What do you think?"
"Our ideas are of no use...but I also think "Breastfeeding Woman" can win an award." Su Tong said, "There is also another one. Acheng's "Ms. Zhao Yiman" should also receive a prize from the judges.
s concern."
…
In less than ten minutes, several chief editors and reviewers drafted a list of 20 winners.
Yu Dong compared the "Final Winners List" he had seen and found that the list drawn up by Li Rujing and his colleagues indeed won a lot of prizes, such as Bi Feiyu's "Breastfeeding Woman", Acheng's "Ms. Zhao Yiman" and Shi Tiesheng's "
Notes from the Old House".
However, Yu Dong is not sure how much he will win in the end. After all, there have been many changes in this life compared to the previous one.
There are both more works and less works.
For example, "Tree Hole", if it really wins the award in the end, it will be a variable, and the other variables that this variable can cause cannot be guessed by Yu Dong.
Regarding the Lu Xun Literature Award, Yu Dong would be lying if he said he didn't care at all. But he really doesn't care that much. After all, he has already been recognized by the mainstream literary circles and ordinary readers. For him, an award can mean so much.
There are a lot less things.
…
As soon as they finished chatting here, the staff came over to remind them that the dinner was about to start and asked them to find their own seats.
The seats at the dinner are not for casual seating. Each seat has a corresponding nameplate. Of course, if you really want to change seats, you can, but you must change the nameplate with it. This will make it easier for the deep space to count who has come and who has not.
.
Yu Dong said hello to Li Xiaolin and took Bi Feiyu and the others to find their place.
Chapter completed!
