If the news that "Deep Space" was about to be serialized ignited the enthusiasm of science fiction fans, then a report in "Reference News" the next day directly set off the science fiction world.
"The film and television adaptation rights of "The Second World" have been awarded to Universal Pictures!"
"The film and television adaptation rights of the novel "Second World", which was previously serialized in "Science Fiction World" by the famous domestic writer Yu Dong, has been confirmed to be purchased by Universal Pictures. It is reported that it has entered the preparation stage..."
"Industry insiders revealed that the latest film stunts will be used in the filming of "Second World", and the visual effects are likely to surpass Spielberg's previous "Jurassic Park". As we all know, Spielberg
It's a..."
"It exploded, it exploded."
When Fang Tao saw the news, he jumped up from his chair.
These two days have been so exciting. The news of Yu Dong’s new book "Deep Space" came out yesterday, and today another bombshell came out.
Although most people in China don't know Universal Pictures or Spielberg, the word "Hollywood" is a household name.
Hollywood is like a symbol, representing all foreign blockbusters.
Moreover, it is clearly written in the news that the latest film technology is likely to be used in the filming of "Second World".
No longer caring about studying the news seriously, Fang Tao took it and ran to the branch of the Science Fiction Association. He wanted to pass on the news as soon as possible.
…
This report by "Reference News" stirred up not only the science fiction circle, but also the film circle.
In the past two years, there have been undercurrents in the domestic film and television industry, and rumors have been coming out from the top. Everyone knows that big things are about to happen.
Last year, Wu Mengcheng, general manager of China Film Corporation, proposed to the Film Bureau to adopt the internationally accepted box office splitting method and import the latest first-class foreign films, with the purpose of using distribution revenue to support the film industry in poor areas.
The film bureau has been discussing this issue for the past two years, but there has been no concrete statement.
This year, the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television issued the "Several Opinions on Deepening the Current Mechanism Reform of the Film Industry" and its "Implementation Rules".
Although this "No. 3 Document" did not explicitly state that the box office split model will be implemented, it sent a signal: China's film distribution model has begun to transition to a market economy system.
Maybe it won't be long before Wu Mengcheng's previous proposal will be realized.
By then, Hollywood blockbusters will be introduced into the country.
And "Second World" was purchased by Hollywood for filming at this time, so people had to put these two things together.
Zhang Yimou saw this news at the filming site of "Alive". Liu Heng was right next to him. Both of them immediately thought of the film distribution model.
"Tell me, if the timing is such a coincidence, is it possible that "Second World" will become the first foreign film to enter the country after the reform?" Liu Heng asked with interest, holding half of the unfinished steamed bun in his hand.
road.
Zhang Yimou nodded and said: "If the timing is good, it is indeed possible. "Second World" has innate advantages. As long as Spielberg doesn't mess around with the content, there should be no problem. By then, just one
The gimmick of adapting a novel by a 'domestic writer' is enough to detonate the box office, which is something other foreign films cannot do. And I believe that Yu Dong will definitely play a role in it."
"What's the function you're talking about?"
"Direct action."
"Yu Dong has this intention?" Liu Heng asked doubtfully, "He doesn't seem to be too concerned about the movie. When you were filming "Soft Knife", he didn't even ask you a question from beginning to end."
"He doesn't have this intention, but his agent does. As far as I know, Jimmy has a lot of connections in the foreign film industry. If he knew that the country was going to introduce foreign blockbusters, he would definitely work actively."
Although he didn't meet Jimmy often, Zhang Yimou knew this businessman's habits very well. Faced with such a good opportunity, Jimmy would not miss it.
"Second World" itself has an advantage in introducing this aspect, and once it is put into operation, it is basically a certainty.
"However, we have forgotten something." Zhang Yimou suddenly said again.
Liu Heng asked, "What's the matter?"
"More than one of Yu Dong's novels is currently being filmed. As far as I know, the previous film "Resident Evil" has already started filming and should be released first."
Liu Heng smacked his lips and shook his head, "I'm not optimistic about "Resident Evil". The content is too bloody and not suitable for introduction."
"That's true."
Zhang Yimou nodded, saying that he would introduce foreign movies later, and this aspect would definitely be considered.
"You two, what are you talking about?"
The male protagonist of "Alive", Ge You, who plays Fu Gui, came over with a bag of soy milk in his hand. The soy milk was still hot. He took a sip and breathed out the hot air.
Zhang Yimou handed him the "Reference News". He took the newspaper and squatted down beside Zhang Yimou and the others.
"What big news? I see you two mumbling here from afar." Then Ge You glanced at the news headlines and opened his mouth, "Oh, it's really big news. Why did Teacher Yu Dong see the newspaper again?
The last time he was in "Reference News" was because of "Resident Evil", and this time it's even more incredible, Spielberg is here. After seeing this news, Director Zhang, do you really regret it?"
"How do you say this?" Zhang Yimou asked.
Ge You patted the newspaper and said, "If "Soft Knife" is released later, just in time for this news, the response will definitely be even higher."
"You think very carefully." Zhang Yimou patted his knees and stood up, "Let's go, Ge You, go change your clothes. Today we will shoot the part where you herd cows."
"Herding cows?" Ge You was stunned, "Didn't you film the part about herding cows? Besides, it's such a cold weather..."
Liu Heng followed behind and said with a smile: "Director Zhang is teasing you."
…
It was already noon when Yu Dong saw the report in "Reference News", but he had heard Jimmy talk about it before. In order to make the news more effective, Jimmy specially pushed the news to the latest issue of "Science Fiction World".
time.
The effect is exactly what Jimmy thought. When the two messages are put together, the effect is definitely one plus one greater than two.
"Is there anything else you want?"
Yu Dong looked up at Qu Aiguo, who had sent him the "Reference News".
"There is something else." Qu Aiguo scratched his head nervously.
Yu Dong couldn't help but laugh. It's rare to see Qu Aiguo like this.
Moreover, Yu Dong found it a bit strange that Qu Aiguo came to deliver newspapers today.
Qu Aiguo is a guy who likes to flatter people, but he always talks the talk, and what he says is better than what he sings. Things like delivering newspapers, Jia Zhangke often does.
"If you have anything to say, just tell me. After all, this newspaper can't be given away for free."
"Brother Dong, I just want to ask you, do you have any rules on how to deal with people over there in Shanghai?"
"What are the rules for dating? I don't quite understand your question. Are you asking about the marriage customs, or are you asking young people what conditions are required for dating?"
"Actually, I just want to ask what kind of men Shanghai girls like."
"It's hard to say, not all the girls in Shanghai are the same." Yu Dong looked at Qu Aiguo, "Why do you suddenly ask about this? Which girl from Shanghai do you like? Li Jing seems to be the only one in our class.
Probably from Shanghai."
"No, Li Jing has someone else."
Yu Dong raised his eyebrows, "Li Jing has a partner? It seems that there are many things about you that I don't know. Is Li Jing's partner from our class?"
Qu Aiguo licked his lips and said, "Brother Dong, please spare me. If I told you, wouldn't I be a scoundrel?"
"Hey, aren't we just dating someone? Then if it's not Li Jing you're interested in, then who is it?"
"Not from our school..."
"From Jinling University? From Southeast University? It seems that you are not as busy as you say, and your hands are stretched out so long."
"No, isn't this fate?" Qu Aiguo rubbed his hands, "Brother Dong, let me tell you the truth. I think Ma Xiaohong, who came to interview you last time, was quite good. I had a good conversation with her.
Quite speculative. But I don’t know much about Shanghai girls, so I want to learn from you.”
Yu Dong stared blankly at Qu Aiguo. This boy is such a good apprentice. If anything happens, he will light a big bomb on his teacher, which will make his scalp numb and burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.
Ma Xiaohong only stayed at Jinyi for more than two hours, half of which was spent interviewing herself. Yu Dong really couldn't figure out how the two of them talked about speculation and how they fell in love at first sight.
Speaking of which, Ma Xiaohong is quite good-looking, but Jin Yi has a lot of girls who are prettier than her, at least a platoon of them.
After being stunned for a long time, Yu Dong finally said, "Patriot, my teacher tells you that if you want to be with Ma Xiaohong, you must be mentally prepared."
Qu Aiguo blinked his eyes and asked, "Why, are the women you go to Shanghai particularly difficult to deal with?"
Yu Dong waved his hand, "This has nothing to do with whether or not to go to Shanghai. The main reason is that Ma Xiaohong is a girl who is very motivated and is not the type who stays at home to take care of her husband and raise children. Maybe in the future, you will be in charge of the inside and she will be in charge of the outside.
Are these acceptable to you?"
"Brother Dong, you are exaggerating. I think Ma Xiaohong is a weak girl who is quite lovable. Besides, under the light of humanity you spread, Brother Dong, I will never grow up to be
A grown man with old feudal ideas. I absolutely respect the independence of women. If she really wants to pursue a career, I will definitely go hand in hand with her to create a better future."
Yu Dong nodded: "If you have this mental preparation, then there will be no problem. As for whether you go to Shanghai or not, don't think too much about it. Which girl likes what you need to find out by yourself. Then again, if she likes
She is not your type, will you change it according to her preferences?"
"I can change the small aspects, but I certainly can't change the big aspects. I can't change that either."
"That's right, just be yourself."
"Okay, with Brother Dong's words, I feel at ease." Then Qu Aiguo looked at the newspaper in Yu Dong's hand and said with a smile, "You've almost read this newspaper, I still have a lot that I haven't read yet.
, just take it back first."
Yu Dong looked at Qu Aiguo's back, and then at his empty hands.
This little bastard!
Typical demolition and killing of donkeys!
The teacher's family is unlucky, the teacher's family is really unlucky.
However, this reminded him of the scene when he "borrowed" books from his teacher Hu Yueming. I guess the teacher at that time was in the same mood as he is now.
Speaking of which, it's true that I was the first to get into trouble.
…
Hu Yueming was reading the newspaper when his eyelids suddenly jumped up.
"What happened today? Why are my eyelids always twitching?"
After reading the newspaper, he got up and went to the big office of the School of Liberal Arts.
“Is there any September issue of Youth Literature?”
After asking around, he finally found one.
The reason why he was looking for this issue of the magazine was because of the child he met when he went to Huizhou last time. Because of "Contemporary", he became interested in the child named Ruan Xiaohu. Later, after many exchanges, he discovered that Ruan
Xiaohu is very interested in literature and has a lot of insights.
For a student who only went to the second year of high school, this insight is really rare.
So after the trip, the two would occasionally communicate.
In addition, I don’t know if it was an illusion. When Ruan Xiaohu learned that he was a teacher at the School of Liberal Arts of Yanjing Normal University, he behaved very strangely. He was a little excited, a little shy, and a little unpredictable.
When Ruan Xiaohu first learned that he was teaching at the university, he also showed great respect. But after hearing about Yan Normal University, he immediately became different. Hu Yueming felt that Yan Normal University should be a very special existence to Ruan Xiaohu when he came.
.
But everyone has their own story, and Hu Yueming didn’t ask the specific reason.
This morning, Hu Yueming received a letter from Ruan Xiaohu, which stated that he had actually published a novel in "Youth Literature" and was about to publish a second novel.
Hu Yueming was very surprised to learn that Ruan Xiaohu had published a novel in a magazine, so he went to find a copy to read.
Ruan Xiaohu's novel is called "Little Tiger", and he does not avoid his name at all.
"In May 1991, Xiaohu became a thief."
When he saw the first sentence, Hu Yueming felt a little familiar. With this sense of familiarity, he read all the rest of the content.
"This seems to be Yu Dong's style."
Hu Yueming knew that Ruan Xiaohu liked Yu Dong. When they talked about "To the West" in "Contemporary", Ruan Xiaohu knew Dong's works very well.
Therefore, it does not seem particularly strange for Ruan Xiaohu to write novels imitating Yu Dong.
But Hu Yueming always felt that something was wrong.
I can't stop this thought once it appears.
"What's wrong?"
Hu Yueming read the novel "Little Tiger" carefully, and then recalled every bit of communication with Ruan Xiaohu, and suddenly an idea came to his mind that he found incredible.
Ruan Xiaohu and Yu Dong knew each other, and the prototype of the owner of the "manuscript" in "Little Tiger" is very likely to be Yu Dong.
Chapter completed!
