Chapter 829 Lin Musen
If Xu Zheng can have a good chat with Yu Dong in advance, the relationship between the two parties will definitely be better than it is now, and there will be the possibility of cooperation in the future. In any case, there is still a friendship between Yu Dong and Xu Zheng. They are not just fellow villagers.
Moreover, we have had many contacts with him by chance a long time ago.
Deep Space Company has never thought about establishing a monopoly in the entertainment industry, otherwise it would not cooperate with Zhao Baogang, and some pretty good artists have been handed over to Zhao Baogang and his company.
When they can eat meat, Deep Space Company is also willing to give others soup. Although it treats artists as a bit pampered, it is also to enable them to go further.
Therefore, if Xu Zheng can endure it a little longer and have a good chat with Yu Dong, maybe Yu Dong will support Xu Zheng in starting his own company and then cooperate with Deep Space.
But in this situation, Yu Dong would be generous if he didn't take action to destroy him.
The reporters below were still waiting for Yu Dong's answer. He smiled and said, "I don't have much involvement in the company's management. I just learned about this matter not long ago. From a personal point of view, I am quite surprised.
, Xu Zheng has always been a very smart and easy-to-learn young man in my mind. He has his own style in acting and his own ideas in life. I haven't had a chance to communicate with him yet, so I don't know his specific thoughts, but
No matter what, I hope he can have a good career in the future."
"This is also the first time that an artist has voluntarily left the Deep Space Company. Does this mean that there will be a second, third or even more Xu Zheng in the future? Do you have any thoughts on this situation?
Not worried?"
Yu Dong held up the microphone and said, "Shen Kong is a legally operated private company. The door is open and outstanding talents are always welcome to join this big family. Of course, if anyone feels that this place is not suitable for him, he can also
Leave at any time. I believe that those who can stay in the end are naturally like-minded people. Only with like-minded people together can Deep Space Company continue to make progress."
Many reporters quickly picked up their pens and started writing: Yu Dong hinted that Xu Zheng was not a like-minded person and it would be better if he left.
The reporter from ifeng.com continued to ask, "Although Xu Zheng paid a large amount of liquidated damages to Shen Kong for leaving this time, according to his current reputation, these liquidated damages are far from enough to make up for Shen Kong's losses. These losses
Can deep space bear it?”
Yu Dong raised his eyebrows and showed a surprised expression, "Can't our Deep Space Company afford to lose even one actor in your eyes?"
"No, no, what I mean is, will such a loss allow you and Mr. Ji to strengthen your control over your artists in the future, such as increasing their liquidated damages and years? If you had previously set a higher default for Xu Zheng
Jin, then there is no way for him to leave Deep Space Company."
Yu Dong shook his head: "The contract standards given to artists by Shen Kong have been set long ago and may be modified in the future, but they will not be modified because Xu Zheng leaves. The setting of liquidated damages is based on reciprocity and should not become a
At least it is not the only way to retain artists. In addition, please pay attention to the words you use. Deep Space Company has never thought of controlling anyone, so naturally there is no talk of strengthening control. Again, Deep Space, come on
Go and follow your heart."
"Although Xu Zheng has left Shen Kong, everyone in this circle will not look up or down. If Shen Kong encounters Xu Zheng's company in the future, how will Shen Kong face him?"
The meaning of this question is obvious, it is to ask whether Deep Space will target Xu Zheng. After all, in the eyes of the outside world, Deep Space has suffered a lot this time. The company has invested a lot of resources in Xu Zheng.
He was given two popular TV series, but now that Xu Zheng has suddenly left, all these investments have been in vain.
Yu Dong stared at the reporter in front of him and looked up and down, then said with a smile, "It's hard to say what will happen in the future, but what I can tell you is that the posture of Deep Space does not depend on who it is facing, but on who it is facing.
Regarding our own goals at Deep Sky. And our goal at Deep Sky is always to produce excellent works and present them to all audiences.”
"Is it possible to invite Xu Zheng to participate in the film and television dramas produced after Deep Space?"
Yu Dong looked at his watch and said, "You have too many questions. If you are very concerned about Xu Zheng's affairs, you can make an appointment with my assistant and we can have a good chat when we have time. Today is my new book launch event after all, so we
Let’s talk about some book-related issues.”
The Phoenix reporter wanted to say something more, but in the end he opened his mouth and did not say anything.
The question-and-answer session continued. Because Yu Dong clicked on it, no one asked questions related to Xu Zheng anymore. They all focused on the novel.
When it was almost nine o'clock, the question and answer session ended, and Yu Dong took time to give signed books to the reporters.
These books are all signed in advance. Yu Dong can just hand them out one by one. If he is in a good mood, he can write a special signature to a certain reporter.
After doing this, the reporters dispersed, and the security personnel let in the readers who were queuing outside in an orderly manner.
…
"Sir, the autograph session has started, you can go in now."
Thompson, who was at the front of the queue, heard the staff's words, and his eyes burst out with joy.
"Thanks."
Thompson nodded to the staff, then strode into the infield.
Along the landmark line, Thompson walked to the signing table. It was not his first time attending a signing, but at this time he was holding two books but didn't know what to do, because it was his first time in line.
one.
Yu Dong was a little surprised when he saw that the person at the front of the queue was a foreigner, and then he said in English, "Hello, what's your name?"
Thompson answered him in Chinese, "My Chinese name is Lin Musen."
Yu Dong, who was fairly fluent in Chinese, nodded, "Your Chinese is good and your name is also good. Did you go to school in China?"
"No, this is my first time coming to China."
Thompson's words surprised Yu Dong, "Did you teach yourself Chinese?"
"No, I have a few Chinese friends and I learn a lot from them. Originally I wanted them to come with me, but they thought it was too far and didn't come back."
"America?"
"Yeah, Chicago."
Yu Dong raised his eyebrows, "That's indeed quite far. Do you have anything else to do when you come to Jinling this time?"
"The main thing is to get your signed book. I'm very lucky that I got first in line. Now, I can see this book earlier than people elsewhere."
Yu Dong smiled. He knew that being ranked first was not as simple as luck, but that it required considerable effort.
To a certain extent, the Lin Musen in front of me was also an avid book fan. He flew all the way from Chicago to Jinling just to read the book first.
Thinking of this, Yu Dong felt that it was not easy for this guy, and asked, "Is there anything you want me to sign?"
Thompson was stunned. He didn't expect that the signature could be customized. After thinking for a moment, he asked tentatively, "You can write, 'When you didn't see this flower, this flower and your heart died together. When you came to see this flower, this flower's
The colors suddenly became clear.'"
He spoke word by word, for fear of mispronunciating a certain word.
Yu Dong smiled and said, "It's quite long. Do you like Wang Yangming?"
"Well, Mr. Wang Shouren is my second favorite writer in China." Then Thompson added with some embarrassment, "The first is you."
Yu Dong rubbed the goosebumps on his body, and without saying anything else, he directly signed Thompson's name and wrote Wang Yangming's words on it.
Thompson knew the rules. After getting the signed book, he quickly moved away from the scene, leaving space for those behind him.
The people behind them all cast envious glances at Thompson. Everyone knows that Yu Dong’s first pick at his autograph signing is basically a special one. Seeing that Thompson chatted with Yu Dong for a while, it was natural that he also had a special one.
Thompson carried the signed book and headed directly towards the Science Fiction Museum. On the way, he kept looking at the line written by Yu Dong on the title page.
He did not lie. Yu Dong and Wang Shouren, two people from different eras, were indeed his two favorite Chinese writers. At this time, his two favorite Chinese writers traveled through time in this way.
Time and space were connected, which naturally made him very excited.
This time he is coming to Jinling to attend a book signing. Many friends say he is too impulsive, but in fact he is not impulsive, but has been planning for a long time. He has always wanted to come to China, but he has never been particularly good at it.
Chance.
It just so happened that YU was holding a book signing event in Jinling this time, so he flew over directly. He saw the new book first, signed the book, and then had a tour of China. It was like killing three birds with one stone.
After Thompson arrived at the Science Fiction Museum, he took out a box from his schoolbag, carefully put the two signed books in his hand into the box, and then put the box back into his schoolbag.
After doing this, he ran to the front counter and bought a new copy of "WALL-E". He couldn't bear to take out the signed books to read. Moreover, the two "WALL-E" books he took to sign for Yu Dong
" are all in Chinese, and his Chinese level is not enough for him to read a complete science fiction novel.
This is also the advantage of Deep Space Park compared to other bookstores. You can buy "WALL-E" in various languages here.
Finding a corner with relatively few people on the second floor of the science fiction museum, Thompson began to explore the world of new books.
There are many people holding "WALL-E" like him. Most of the people who came to deep space today came for this book. Some people lined up to sign the books, and many people just came to read the book.
.
Thompson had just finished reading the first paragraph and felt that the scene was very familiar. Then he remembered the video released by the Deep Space Tribe. It turned out that the video was the scene at the beginning of the novel.
The beginning of the novel gave Thompson a feeling of desolation and loneliness, and the little robot seemed to be the last guard waiting for the earth.
Why the earth became like this, and why WALL-E stayed, were not introduced in detail at the beginning.
Although it feels lonely at the beginning, the language rhythm of the novel is very fast, and the description of Wall-E's series of actions is smooth and flowing, just like watching a video.
After reading a few more paragraphs, Thompson exclaimed in surprise, "My heart is beating?"
That's right, it's "Pumping Heart". There was news before that Deep Space was producing a movie, and Thompson paid special attention to it. He waited for the movie to be released and went to watch it. He didn't expect to see it in the new book.
Wall-E seemed to particularly like this "old movie" from eight hundred years ago. As soon as he got home from work, he couldn't wait to turn on the TV, plug in the video tape, and then watch the movie, looking fascinated.
The scene described in the book made Thompson very interesting. A cute-looking "sweeping robot" likes to watch pure love movies after work. Thompson is even a little jealous of WALL-E because they have not watched "Heartbeat" yet.
Wall-E had already watched the movie, and this jealousy made Thompson find it even more strange and interesting.
Soon, in addition to garbage in WALL-E's world, another robot appeared - Eve.
But Wall-E called Eve's name eva.
Only then did Thompson suddenly realize something, that is, after reading it for such a while, there was not a single line of dialogue in the book. He had not even thought about whether Wall-E could speak.
Of course, even if Eve comes, there is no dialogue in the novel, and what Thompson sees more is Wall-E's funny actions.
…
A few hours later, Thompson gently closed the book in his hand and showed a comfortable smile. YU still did not disappoint this time.
Before reading this book, many images related to robots passed through his mind, and he also had various guesses about the content of this novel, but after actually reading the book, he was pleasantly surprised.
This novel mentions a lot of hard-core scientific theories, but it is obviously not a hard-core science fiction novel. It seems that in order to ensure the smoothness of the story, YU deliberately reduces the mention of those scientific concepts.
But if you want to say that it is a science fiction novel that is not hard at all, it seems unreasonable. The knowledge about power and environment in it is very rigorous, and it will be revealed from the text from time to time.
The first part of the novel is very different from the subsequent plot. The first part is more like a warm mime. The focus is on Walli's personal performance, his work, his life and his story.
love.
In the second half of the spacecraft, there are obviously more thoughts on other aspects, about environmental protection, artificial intelligence, and future technological development.
But Thompson can tell that YU does not have much ambition to discuss the future of the earth in this novel. The topic of environmental protection is just a tool for him to construct the story. What he really wants to express is Wall-E, the sweeper.
The relationship between robot and Eve.
This kind of non-human and irrational love may not be as deep as some love stories, but it is refreshing and very interesting.
