It’s not surprising that Spielberg would feel this way, because most of his work in recent years has been related to deep space companies.

In the past two years, Spielberg has not participated in many projects. Among them, the one he attaches most importance to is "The Martian" produced by Deep Space Company. In addition, he is about to direct another movie "Artificial Intelligence", which is produced by Deep Space Company.

There are also investments involved.

"When will the filming of "Artificial Intelligence" start?" Yu Dong asked.

"I will start filming in late August after I come back from Jinling. It will probably take two to three months. After the movie is finished, "The Martian" will be released soon."

Yu Dong nodded. Deep Space Company hopes that "The Martian" can be released simultaneously in China and North America. However, due to some circumstances in China, the specific release date has not been set. It has been changed several times, and it was finally finally released recently.

It has been decided that the official release date will be December 22 this year.

Yu Dong previously said at the Deep Space Annual Conference that the movie would be released to the audience in 2000, and now that it is set to be released at this time, Yu Dong has not broken his promise.

"Will you attend the world premiere then?" Spielberg asked.

"It depends on the situation. If I have time during the premiere..."

"The premiere has not been decided yet. We will hold the premiere whenever you have time. We will hold the premiere wherever it is convenient for you to attend. If that doesn't work, we can also hold the premiere.

Held in Jinling.”

Yu Dong hopes that the premiere can be held in Jinling, but he also knows that this is not necessary. The current box office in China is too different from other ticket warehouses. When the Chinese box office rises later, some movies can be

The premiere ceremony was held in China.

"Let's arrange things as usual for the premiere. I'll try to be there when the time comes."

"Okay, I don't have anything else to do. Let's wait until we meet in Jinling in a few days."

"OK."

…

The next day, after Spielberg met with Jeff Nathanson, he decided to make the movie. The rest was for him to talk to Jimmy.

The general direction of this matter has been decided. Deep Space Company and Amblin will jointly produce it, and then Deep Space Company will be responsible for distribution. The next thing to discuss is the details of the script fee, director fee, and the investment ratio of both parties.

But before dealing with this matter, Jimmy has to hold a small meeting with Yu Dong and the Williams couple to discuss the sandbox game.

On the way to New York, the Williams couple were not in a good mood because they thought they would not gain anything from traveling all the way from California to New York to meet with Yu Dong and the others.

And now that communications are so advanced, you can talk about anything on the phone, and there is no need to meet face to face.

However, when Yu Dong told his solution, both the couple were confused.

Both husband and wife are experts. As soon as they heard the solution Yu Dong said, they understood what it meant. Roberta pondered for a while and couldn't help but exclaimed, "YU, you are definitely a gaming genius!"

Ken Williams touched his head, and Roberta spoke his mind. YU has an enviable talent as a game designer. But such an enviable talent seems to be insignificant in YU. Could it be that

Is the brain of such a literary master different from ordinary people?

According to the model proposed by Yu Dong, the design idea of ​​​​this game is completely different, and the item upgrade paths that Roberta thought of before are no longer available.

“The degree of freedom of this game has increased a lot, and our design has become simpler, but there are still many problems that we need to solve,” Roberta said.

Jimmy smiled and expressed their thoughts, "I have discussed with YU to open a studio for you to develop new games. Just tell me what you need and I will arrange it for you."

Roberta smiled and said, "I want to be able to contact YU frequently. Is this okay?"

Jimmy looked at Yu Dong, who replied with a smile, "No problem, but try to consider the time difference. I won't answer your call in the middle of the night."

"Of course, if there is nothing important, I won't go to you easily. In addition, I also hope to borrow two people from Liu's Visual Design Studio. Is that possible? Or come to the United States Visual Design Studio.

You can also borrow it.”

The Liu's Visual Design Studio and Laimei Visual Design Studio mentioned by Roberta are two well-known visual studios under the Deep Space Company. The former is led by Liu Changmin and is based on Jinyi alumni, and the latter is a visual studio led by Liu Changmin.

It was founded by Huayuan, a famous domestic designer.

These two studios have their own strengths. Liu's is well-known in film and television design and game art, and has produced many classic works. Liu's specializes in clothing, jewelry design and other fields. As for film and television design and game art, they

It is also involved, but it is weaker than the former.

In addition to these two studios, there are many similar studios under Deep Space, but most of them have not been established for a long time, have not many employees, and have few works, so they are not famous.

Roberta has had several contacts with people from Liu’s studio before and has seen their strength, so this time to develop a new game, she wanted to borrow two people from Liu’s to handle the game art.

Yu Dong said with a smile, "Don't ask me about this, just ask Teacher Liu Changmin directly. As long as he is willing to borrow it, that's fine. However, their studio has been busy recently, so it may be difficult to borrow people from them.

Of course, it also depends on who you want to borrow. If you want to borrow those main designers, it’s definitely not possible, but if you want to borrow a few new people, it shouldn’t be difficult.”

As soon as Roberta heard what Yu Dong said, she knew what Yu Dong had planned. He wanted Xueleshan to help cultivate talents for Liu’s studio.

Why has Liu's studio developed so well in such a short time? On the one hand, it's because Jinyi Art has a strong foundation and many outstanding alumni have been invited back. On the other hand, it's because the studio has leveraged its relationship with Deep Space Company to

I have worked with many mature teams and learned a lot of experience, especially in film and television and games.

As for who to borrow, Roberta doesn't care, "As long as I can borrow from someone, anyone can."

Roberta knows that even if a novice is sent here, the studio's big guys will guide them from behind and will not let the novices fumble around on their own. Their purpose is to let the novices grow, not to let the novices hang around.

.

Besides, inviting two alumni of Jinyi to come over, even if they are not good at technology, can give them a bond with Jinyi. Having a bond with Jinyi means having a bond with YU.

It’s not like Roberta doesn’t know how to deal with the world.

…

After a small meeting with the Williamses, Yu Dong was about to leave the United States and return to China, but just before they returned to China, the results of the Hugo Awards came out.

The good news is that Fran Vinci, the author of the Best Novel Award-winning work "The Deep", is a contracted author of Deep Space Company.

The bad news is that Deep Space did not win any of the other awards except for Best Novel.

Not to mention "The Wandering Earth", it didn't even make it to the nomination list before.

Of course, if "The Wandering Earth" really enters the nomination list, it should be able to win the award in the end.

The Hugo Award is different from the Nebula Award. The Hugo Award relies on votes in the later stages.

Since it relies on votes, the ones selected are naturally the most popular among readers. If you want to ask which short science fiction novel is the most famous this time, it is undoubtedly "The Wandering Earth".

The base of science fiction novels is not big to begin with, and Deep Space Corporation has absolute dominance in this circle, so there is no pressure at all for them to promote a novel.

Therefore, after Deep Space decided to publish "The Wandering Earth", the novel quickly became popular.

If "The Wandering Earth" could have been shortlisted for nomination before, there should be no problem in voting, and even if no one is selected, according to Jimmy's urine, "The Wandering Earth" will be ranked first.

As we all know, votes can be swiped. But now "The Wandering Earth" has not even entered the nomination list, and Jimmy can't swipe it even if he wants to.

But after the nomination list came out, Jimmy chatted with Yu Dong for the next day. He told Yu Dong that he regretted not contacting the jury before.

Yu Dong knew what Jimmy meant by "contact", which was actually a bribe. No matter what the reasons were for the Hugo Awards jury not to include "The Wandering Earth" in the nomination list, they would not be monolithic.

Jimmy believes that there is no door that money cannot open.

However, the money was ultimately spent on the Hugo Awards. After the nomination list came out, Jimmy began to spend money to stir up public opinion and criticize the Hugo Awards jury, saying that they operated in secret, and bribed many well-known media people to write reviews for them.

"The Wandering Earth" fights injustice.

Jimmy's purpose is certainly not to ruin the Hugo Awards. He mainly wants to use this incident to market the Wandering Earth again.

Liu Cixin is the second god that Deep Space Company plans to create after Yu Dong. In the past few years, Liu Cixin's works have performed well and are well-known at home and abroad.

But Liu Cixin's current popularity is still far from the top of the science fiction world, so now Jimmy wants to add fuel to Liu Cixin's fire to get him going.

Casting Liu Cixin as a tragic character who has been treated unfairly is Jimmy's first step. Next, Jimmy will make film and television adaptations of a series of Liu Cixin's novels.

…

"It's already so low, can it go down further? Why hasn't Deep Space Company come out to rescue the market?"

Looking at the stock trend chart on the computer, Hana sighed helplessly. He could no longer imagine where the bottom of these Internet stocks was. During this period, he had thought that he had reached the bottom many times, but only to reach new lows all the way.

The most important thing is that Deep Space Company occasionally comes out to buy some stocks. Each time it is not much, but it is easy for people to have wild imaginations.

Especially Apple's stock, Deep Space has acquired a lot during this period, and Apple's stock has performed quite well among technology stocks.

It's just that because Deep Space has a criminal record, no one dares to buy it. Many people initially thought that Deep Space was going to save the market, so they bought Amazon together, but found out that they had been cheated, and then stopped buying Apple from Deep Space.

After Apple's stock price went up a bit, they didn't dare to move again.

Later, everyone discovered that Deep Sky's operations during this period did not make any losses, and they also obtained stocks of several companies.

Just when people thought that Deep Sky would be the winner, the stocks of Amazon and other companies plummeted, and Apple's stock also began to move back. All of a sudden, Deep Sky Company became a big loser. At this time, everyone

Everyone is speculating on what the Deep Space Company will do next.

But Deep Sky Company has not moved, neither buying nor selling, just holding those stocks in its hands.

Hana has been studying the operations of Deep Space Company during this time, trying to figure out what they want to do, but found that he can't figure out anything. The transactions of Deep Space Company are very strange. The key is that the stocks they bought are not

There is no other meaning than teasing the nerves of investors.

Moreover, there has been no movement in deep space recently, and Hana is also getting a little impatient with the wait.

"Let's go have a cup of coffee."

Muttering secretly, Hana prepared to stand up, but before his butt left the chair, the phone on the table rang.

When he picked up the phone, the voice on the other end came over, "Mark, have you read the news? Pets has been acquired."

"pets was acquired? Who did it?"

Hana has also researched the pet company, because Amazon has invested in this company before, but because of the collective plunge of Internet stocks, pets are having a very sad life now. I heard that their money can no longer support Q4.

, it seems that what this company is facing is bankruptcy liquidation.

So Hana was quite surprised when he heard that pets had been acquired. Who would be willing to take over the mess of pets at this time?

"Doctor Cat." The other party said a name that Hana had never heard of.

"Doctor Cat? What is that?"

"A company was just established this year that specializes in pet medical care. However, they have very strong funds. They integrated many pet hospitals right after they were established and created a chain of pet hospitals called Mao Tiantian."

Hana narrowed his eyes and said, "It was only established this year. It has a lot of funds and is sold so quickly. Why do I feel that the purpose of this company is just for pets?"

"It's hard to say whether it was established for pets, but they should have been interested in pets from the beginning, otherwise they wouldn't have been so straightforward. The merger has not been completed yet, but it is already a certainty. Now everyone is guessing, cats

Who is the doctor’s boss?”

Hana bit his lip and said, "Do you think Doctor Cat is related to Deep Space Company? They have not made any movement in the stock market recently. I always feel that something is wrong."

"It's hard to say. If it's really them, then what are they trying to do? Why do they do this kind of counter-market behavior at this time? To save Amazon? That's not how they save it. Do they really care about pets' business?
