The next day, Cheng Yanqiu went to Yu Dong's dormitory with a box in his arms.
The box is quite exquisite, not too big. It contains the four treasures of the study. There are five pens, but they are all made of iron-tipped purple hair and are designed for writing in small regular script.
"Didn't you buy this?" Yu Dong looked at the contents of the box and asked.
The pens are all new, but when I looked eastward at the inkstone, I could still see some residual ink stains in the middle of the lines. It must have been used before and was not cleaned, and the overall look didn't look new.
"Borrowed it from my dad."
Yu Dong smiled and nodded, he understood, because he often borrowed things.
But is this old Taishan a collector? He saved five iron-tipped purple hairs at once. How long will this be written?
Writing small regular script does not consume a pen, and the quality of this writing is good. It is not a rush to write. Basically, it is no problem to write for a few months. Five can be used for a year or two. The more thin it is to write, you will not need to buy a pen for several years.
.
The problem is that Yu Dong has never practiced lower regular script before. He did try to write, but he couldn't read it.
Small regular script was very difficult, and Yu Dong was not willing to touch it at all at that time, and he was not at the level to touch small regular script.
Cheng Yanqiu is posing a problem for him.
"Luoluo, do you like lower regular script?" Yu Dong asked.
Cheng Yanqiu shook his head slightly, "Anyone is fine, but this is the only new pen at my dad's place. The others are all used."
It turns out that what Cheng Yanqiu brings to Yu Dong does not depend on what she wants to give him, but on what his father-in-law has.
Later, Yu Dong bought several sets of pens on his own, planning to write large characters first, and then practice small regular characters when he was ready.
I haven’t practiced calligraphy for a long time, and when I suddenly picked it up, I felt it was quite good, and it can make people calm down quickly.
It's just that the room is getting smaller and smaller, and the table isn't big enough. The wardrobe is full of books, and there's no room for them anymore.
Three years later, this small house could no longer accommodate Yu Dong.
…
The first two days of school have been quite busy. Yu Dong and Bi Feiyu are fine. Considering that they usually have to write, Wu Changxin has arranged less and less work for them.
After graduating from Gongmei91 next year, Yu Dong will only have a teaching position, and the burden on him will be much lighter. Bi Feiyu will be the same, and in two years he will only have a teaching position. Moreover, they will not care about other majors and concentrate on managing the drama.
create.
However, the Drama Department has opened two new majors this year, and other teachers in the department are too busy for a while, so the two of them have to help.
Newly opened this year are the directing major and film and television planning and production. There are not many people admitted, each major has more than ten people in each class.
Yu Dong took a special look at the roster, but didn't see anyone familiar.
But when I picked him up, I saw an acquaintance, Jia Zhangke.
This kid Jia Zhangke, when school starts, he doesn’t go to welcome the new students in his major, but he focuses on helping the director major to welcome the new students.
He stopped at the gate. When he saw a new student, he ran up to him and asked. If he majored in other majors, he would let him go. If he majored in directing, he would stop him.
After saving up three or four, he took them to the orientation point and handed them over to the new professional counselors.
Yu Dong saw him busy and teased him from the side: "Jia Zhangke, why don't you switch to directing? I think your energy will make you humiliated in the theater."
Jia Zhangke said with a smile on his face, "How can this be possible? I was born as a drama creator and die as a drama creator. I will never leave the drama creator. Besides, I also want to study with you, Teacher Yu, for a few more years.
"
"You see, there are no juniors in the directing major, so you can't transfer." Bi Feiyu joked.
"hey-hey."
In fact, Jia Zhangke has no intention of majoring in directing. Even if he is a junior in the directing major, he would not have the idea of ​​changing his major, because he knows that to be a director, he does not necessarily need to major in directing.
Jia Zhangke once heard a saying that if you want to be a director, you can have any major. Isn't Zhang Yimou also a photographer? There is also Feng Xiaoning, who graduated from the Department of Fine Arts.
The reason why he was so attentive was that he wanted to listen to them when they were taking classes for the directing major.
In fact, in theater creation, there are many students who have the same idea of ​​becoming a director like Jia Zhangke, but not many are as clear-cut as him. Many people want to take it one step at a time, and wait until they have a stable job after graduation before considering directing.
things.
…
Early in the morning on September 8th, Yu Dong went to the classroom with a lesson plan. Today was the first writing class of Xi Chuang 94.
He deliberately arrived five minutes early, but he didn't expect that the students were very active and had already arrived.
As soon as Yu Dong entered the classroom, warm applause broke out.
He expected that the students would be enthusiastic, but he didn't expect them to be so enthusiastic. The little fat man sitting in front had a pair of chubby hands and his hands turned red at the sight of them.
"Teacher Yu is amazing."
"Teacher Yu is mighty."
Yu Dong looked at the excited students and raised his eyebrows. Has his influence reached this level?
But later a student clarified Yu Dong's confusion.
It turned out that they had seen the news in the newspaper that "The Second World" would be released in China in November.
Yu Dong knew about this news a few days ago, but it was only published in the newspaper yesterday. Unexpectedly, the news spread so fast, and everyone knew it this morning.
For the drama students, hearing this news is happy. If development goes well, they will eventually work in the film and television industry. And Yu Dong is destined to become an important figure in the film and television industry.
Of course they feel very happy to have such a teacher.
Yu Dong smiled and pressed his hand, "Let's roll your names first so that everyone can get to know each other."
When they heard that names were being called, the students became quiet.
Yu Dong called the names one by one according to the roster, and each student whose name was called responded with a high-pitched "arrival".
After the names were called, Yu Dong nodded with satisfaction: "You all performed well, and I hope you can maintain this positive attitude in the future. Since you are very interested in movies, let's put writing aside today and come first.
Let’s talk about movies. I wonder what movies you usually watch?”
"Hang the red lantern high."
"Tunnel warfare."
"Escape from the tiger's mouth."
"Soft knife."
"Qiu Ju filed a lawsuit."
The students talked a lot about the movies they had watched, including domestic movies and translated films. Basically, they were all familiar movies, and Yu Dong had also watched them.
When they had finished talking, Yu Dong spoke again, "If you were asked to pick up a pen now and retell a movie you have watched in words, do you think you can do it? Raise your hands if you can."
The students looked at each other, but no one raised their hands.
In fact, some people think they can do it, but they feel guilty and are too embarrassed to raise their hands.
Yu Dong asked again: "If anyone thinks he can't do it, please raise your hand."
At first no one raised their hands, but then someone took the lead, and others raised their hands one after another. But relatively speaking, they were still a minority, and more people did not choose to raise their hands.
"In this case, the minority must obey the majority. Our first class assignment today is to retell the plot of a movie we have watched. There is no limit to the number of words. But I remind you, don't think that you can fool around with no limit to the number of words. My class
I don’t pay much attention to the final exam, the main basis is my usual grades.”
The students looked at Yu Dong blankly. The first class hadn't even started yet. How could the homework be assigned?
Just now, Yu Dong said that he wanted to talk about movies to them. They thought he was going to talk about something professional, but they didn't expect that he was digging holes for them to jump in, just to give them homework.
Yu Dong looked at the students below and laughed secretly. It seemed that it would take some time for these boys and girls to adapt to his teaching style.
…
There was a lot of buzz about "The Second World" being released in China, and Feng Xiaoning was quite surprised when he heard the news.
Before, he had thought that "Second World" might become the first Hollywood blockbuster to enter the country in the form of a split-bill release. However, "Second World" had not been released in the United States in the summer, and at that time he felt that there was no hope.
After all, if you want to introduce blockbusters, you must choose films that have already been released in the United States.
Unexpectedly, it finally happened, and the two films were released only one month apart.
For Feng Xiaoning, the release of "The Second World" in China is definitely a good thing, as it can arouse people's interest in going to the cinema to watch movies. Moreover, the two movies "The Butterfly Effect" and "The Second World" are still related.
, after all, the original author is the same person.
The most important thing is that "The Second World" was not released until mid-November, while "The Butterfly Effect" was released in late October. There was a difference of several weeks and the time was staggered.
Feng Xiaoning has heard about the details of the introduction of "Second World" this time.
At first, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television announced that it would hand over the matter of introducing foreign blockbusters to the China Film Group, and let them negotiate with foreign film and television companies to decide which movies to introduce.
But in fact, the entire process is controlled by the radio and television side.
In other words, the introduction of "Second World" this time is not only a commercial consideration, but also some other considerations.
Moreover, when "The Fugitive" was originally to be introduced, China Film Group was planning to release it in several major cities first, including about six or seven cities including Yanjing, Shanghai, and Chongqing.
However, after the decision to introduce "The Second World", the scale of public screenings suddenly expanded a lot, from the original few cities to more than 20 cities, including Yangcheng and Nanjing.
The reason why this happens is entirely because "The Second World" has the factor of Yu Dong in it.
Just because the original author of "The Second World" is Chinese, the policy needs to be relaxed a lot.
On the morning of September 9th, Feng Xiaoning called Yu Dong.
"Teacher Yu, congratulations. I already know about "Second World". Radio and Television and China Film have made great moves this time. "Second World" will win this year's box office championship. It is basically a certainty. And I think,
It is possible to set a record that will not be broken for many years.”
"Director Feng, what you said is a bit exaggerated. There will definitely be a lot of obstacles in the beginning. It is not easy to achieve an earth-shattering high box office. But this can be regarded as an improvement. I also want to congratulate you. The division is out, "
The box office of "The Butterfly Effect" will definitely not be low."
"I hope so." Feng Xiaoning smiled and suddenly mentioned another book by Yu Dong, "Teacher Yu Dong, is the novel "Prison No. 7" licensed to others?"
"Why, Director Feng is interested in this novel?"
"Actually, I am more interested in "The Last City", but I know I will definitely not be able to shoot it. "Prison No. 7" can be a try."
"Director Feng, "Prison No. 7" is not easy. However, since you are interested, I will tell Jimmy and you can chat later. You also know me, I usually leave these matters to the agency.
deal with."
The main thing is that Yu Dong talks about it himself, and there are a lot of things that are not easy to say.
Feng Xiaoning also expressed his understanding of this. If he had a choice, of course he would prefer to talk to Yu Dong, at least he could play the emotional card with Yu Dong.
Feng Xiaoning has had several contacts with Jimmy, and he is a very shrewd businessman who is very difficult to deal with.
After hanging up the phone with Feng Xiaoning, Yu Dong returned to Shanghai with Cheng Yanqiu, where they were going to attend Liu Jiang's wedding.
Liu Jiang's wedding was very grand. His toy factory is now very prosperous, making him a lot of money. He even gave Yu Dong some bonuses a year ago.
The wedding was held in a hotel, with forty or fifty tables. In addition to relatives, friends, and neighbors, most of the others were friends who had business dealings with Liu Jiang.
During this period of time, Yu Dong's parents were very tired. Liu Jiang's mother died young and his father was old. Qin Fang and Yu Hansheng helped take care of many things.
Some guests did not know about Liu Jiang's family situation and even thought that Yu Hansheng and Qin Fang were Liu Jiang's parents.
Later at the wedding, Yu Hansheng also went on stage to read the wedding speech, showing off his face.
While sitting together to eat, Qin Fang looked at the lively scene in the hall and proudly said to her future daughter-in-law: "Luo Luo, your uncle and I are responsible for today's wedding. So don't worry, wait until you
It will definitely be better when you get married. Have you thought about what the wedding will be like then? I think Liu Jiang and the others are doing well. Luo Luo, you have a good figure and are so beautiful. You will definitely look good in a wedding dress. When the time comes,
I'll go find a tailor to make you some sets of cheongsams, so you can wear them when you come back home."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Auntie, I discussed it with Yu Dong, and I think the Chinese style is better, and the red dress is festive."
"Chinese style is fine. You'll look equally good in a Chinese dress. And I also know a shop that specializes in Chinese dresses. I'll ask about it later and I'll make you the most beautiful dress in Shanghai."
Yu Dong smiled beside him and said, "It's a bit early to consider this now."
"It's not early at all." Qin Fang rolled her eyes at her son, "You just haven't experienced it and don't understand."
"If I have to go through it, what's the point?"
"You kid, do you know how to speak? I mean, you've never had the experience of organizing a wedding, so you don't know many details. For example, if you marry Luoluo in a hotel, whether it's in Shanghai or Jinling, you will definitely have to
A very large hall. There are relatively few such halls, so you definitely need to book it far in advance.”
"After talking about the hotel, let's talk about the wedding dress. Can we treat Luoluo badly when she comes to marry her? A girl gets married once in her life, so this dress must be very important. Beautiful dresses must be tailor-made, not many
Even months are not enough. We also need to arrange the transportation for the wedding in advance..."
Qin Fang couldn't stop talking about the wedding, but when she saw that Cheng Yanqiu was the only one listening seriously, she glanced at her husband and son, took her daughter-in-law's hand, and talked to her seriously.
"Hey, Yu Dong, you're here too."
Yu Dong was watching Liu Jiang and his wife toasting at a table in the distance when he suddenly heard someone calling him next to him.
He turned around and saw an old man in his sixties with gray temples looking at him with a smile.
It looks familiar, but I can't remember who it is.
The other party saw that Yu Dong didn't recognize him, so he smiled and said: "When you were in elementary school, I was the school's dean. Tian Weizhang, do you still remember me?"
"Oh, Teacher Tian, ​​long time no see."
Yu Dong was not being perfunctory, he really remembered Tian Weizhang. When Yu Dong was studying at Hongxing Primary School, Tian Weizhang was the dean. Later, when Yu Dong was in high school, he heard that Tian Weizhang was promoted to principal.
Others also stood up to say hello. Yu Dong's parents were not impressed by Tian Weizhang. After all, Tian Weizhang did not teach Yu Dong.
"Hello, hello, I happened to pass by this table and saw Yu Dong. The more I looked at him, the more he looked like him, so I tried to say hello, but I didn't expect it to happen." Tian Weizhang explained with a smile.
Yu Dong looked at the wine glass in Tian Weizhang's hand and knew that his words were not very credible. Even if Tian Weizhang had an excellent memory, it was unlikely that he could recognize Yu Dong based on his appearance as a child.
However, he couldn't be allowed to hold the wine glass like this. Yu Dong picked up the juice and said, "Teacher Tian, ​​I don't drink. I'll offer you a glass of tea instead of wine. I hope you don't mind."
"Okay, okay, I'll finish this cup."
"Need not……"
As soon as Yu Dong opened his mouth to stop him, Tian Weizhang clinked his cup with Yu Dong, then raised his head and drank the wine in the cup, "I'm happy if you drink with me. Our Red Star Primary School can produce a great writer like you."
, it is the glory of our school.”
"Teacher Tian, ​​you are overestimating me. I am where I am today thanks to the cultivation of the school."
Tian Weizhang looked at Yu Dong and sighed, "Oh, time is not forgiving. When you were in school, I still remember that you were not very tall, and everyone else was shorter, so you carried a small denim bag every day.
I am often late for class in the morning, and I am punished when I am late. When I patrol the school in the morning, I always see you, and a few classmates. But you are different. At that time, you just study, and your class teacher Wei Changke is not willing to punish you.
You, if others were late every day, they would eat bamboo sticks, but for you, the most they can do is give you a station penalty."
Hearing Tian Weizhang's words, Yu Dongzhen was stunned. He had almost forgotten these things, but Tian Weizhang actually remembered them all.
When he was in elementary school, Yu Dong carried a denim bag every day, and he was indeed late every day. Hongxing Elementary School was a bit far from his home, and he couldn't catch up if he got up a little late every morning.
At that time, Hongxing Elementary School started classes early, not much later than other junior high schools. In winter, we had to leave home before dawn.
Now hearing what Tian Weizhang said, Yu Dong was suddenly touched. At that time, he caused a lot of trouble to the teacher in the class.
But it is true that as Tian Weizhang said, he was punished a lot for not studying well.
In his time, including today's time, teachers had very double standards, and they were the kind of self-righteous double standards. As long as you study well, you can be forgiven for doing something wrong.
"Let me toast you with another drink."
Tian Weizhang picked up the wine bottle from the table and poured himself another glass.
Yu Dong was too embarrassed to use juice anymore, so he poured himself a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.
After finishing the wine, Tian Weizhang hesitated, and finally smiled and said, "I won't disturb you anymore. Liu Jiang will come to toast later."
Seeing Tian Weizhang turning to leave, Yu Dong suddenly said, "Teacher Tian, ​​how is the school now? I'll go back and take a look when I have time."
Hearing Yu Dong's words, Tian Weizhang turned around again and showed a bright smile: "If you want to come, of course it's good. The school has not changed much over the years, there are only a few buildings. But it is not so lively anymore, and no teacher is willing
If you come, there will be fewer students following you."
In fact, Tian Weizhang came here just to invite Yu Dong to come back to school. Yu Dong is now a celebrity, and going back will definitely be good for the school.
But when he arrived, Tian Weizhang was too embarrassed to speak. He had been a teacher all his life, but he couldn't open his mouth to ask for help, let alone his former students.
Yu Dong felt a little sad when he heard Tian Weizhang's words. Hongxing Primary School was developing quite well when Yu Dong was in school, otherwise Yu Dong would not have traveled so far to go to school.
The reason why Hongxing Primary School is lagging behind now is probably related to its geographical location. In the past, the conditions in this area were not very good, so the geographical disadvantage of Hongxing Primary School was not prominent.
Later, part of this area was developed, and part was not developed, which caused the educational resources of the undeveloped area to be tilted towards the developed area. The place where Hongxing Primary School is located is the area that has not developed. There is no better dormitory building, better
Transportation, naturally, cannot attract teachers and students.
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I'm afraid I won't have time to go there soon. Let's leave a contact information later. When I have time later, I will contact you. Teacher Tian, ​​do you think it's okay?"
Yu Dong said.
Tian Weizhang smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into slits, "Okay, of course. When the time comes, you go give a speech to those junior brothers and sisters, they will definitely be very happy."
…
After Tian Weizhang left, Yu Hansheng said: "I heard that no teachers are willing to go to Hongxing Primary School. Most of them are thinking of going to several newly built schools. In fact, they are only a few miles away. The main reason is that the schools are getting more and more popular now.
The more there are, the fewer teachers there are.”
Yu Dong nodded, there was indeed a shortage of teachers in the country, even in Shanghai, let alone other places.
It is conceivable that there is a huge shortage of teachers in rural schools. Even if the state allows localities to recruit private teachers, I am afraid it will not solve the fundamental problem.
He thought about the charity work he told Jimmy before, and it might be time to start it now. The company has also been on track during this period, and he can focus on doing other things. Although he can't make any big contributions at this stage, he can do it step by step.
Come, you will always do better and better.
And by accumulating experience in the early stage, you will be able to master it later.
…
After returning to Jinling, Yu Dong contacted Jimmy immediately and talked with him about charity.
Jimmy knew that Yu Dong would have to do this sooner or later, so he was not surprised at all. He told Yu Dong that he had already handed over the first phase of the charity plan to the remainder and could start it at any time.
And he explained to Yu Dong that the current situation of their company meant that charity could only be done slowly and they could not use too much operating capital.
Jimmy even came up with a theory with Yu Dong.
"Dong, if you want to do big charity, you must first become a big capital. There is gold in the literary and art circles. If we don't make this money, other people will make it. Others will just put it in their own pockets after making money, but we
It’s different. Once we earn the money, we can use it for charity. Therefore, we build a literary and artistic empire to allow capital money to flow into the country’s basic education.”
Yu Dong knew that Jimmy was deceiving him.
However, Yu Dong was still moved.
"So, my friend, let's work hard. Let's build a real literary empire together. For example, the third part of "Resident Evil" must be arranged as soon as possible."
Yu Dong couldn't help but laugh. After all, Jimmy still urged him to write a book and used him as a donkey of the production team.
"Also, if we invent a few more games like Werewolf, we might be able to make money from them in the future."
Yes, in addition to writing books, I also need to do some side jobs.
Moreover, Jimmy is not shy, and he has invented several things. Can these things be made casually?
"I'll think about it later."
"Okay, think about it carefully. I will go back in a while and help you find a garden. I will arrange everything for you. You just need to make full use of your talents."
"Are you trying to raise me like a pig?"
"My god, these words are hurtful. You are my boss. Even if you are a pig, I will treat you as a tribute pig."
"..."
"Okay, no more joking. The matter of the "Resident Evil" game has come to an end. I'll go and report the situation to you after we discuss it later."
"Okay, I'll wait for your good news."
After hanging up the phone from Jimmy, Yu Dong went to find Yiliang.
At Yuliang's place, Yu Dong saw the charity plan Jimmy mentioned.
This plan is very detailed and down-to-earth. In the plan, Jimmy plans that the first step is to build the first Deep Space Hope Primary School in the towns under Jinling.
And since we have to do it, we have to do it well, not only to get the school's hardware facilities in place, but also to recruit teachers for the school, and do a thorough job from the inside out.
In addition, follow-up matters must also be managed, such as building a library in the school, collecting donations of books, and setting up scholarships to allow more students to have the opportunity to receive education.
Yu Dong noticed that Jimmy's plan was not only detailed, but also strictly controlled in terms of expenditure, and the cost of each step was calculated.
With this plan, all that is left to do is to have people conduct on-site inspections, then select the places that need the most help and prioritize solving local education problems.
Jimmy is also very smart. The plan clearly states that he must actively communicate with the government and relevant organizations to avoid future troubles. He knows very well about doing things in China. If you don't pay attention to policies, you will not be able to do anything well.
After reading the plan, Yu Dong nodded, "For the remainder, just follow the plan. If you need to recruit people, just recruit people. If you need money, just communicate with the finance department. During the process, communicate with Jimmy in time to avoid problems.
Question. Because this is your first time, you have to work harder. As long as you fight this battle well, it will be easy for you later."
"It's okay boss, this is a good thing and I'm happy doing it."
Yu Dong said with a smile, "Work is work, and charity is also work. You cannot rely entirely on your spirit to do things. You are like this, and you are like this to others. Even if you are doing charity, you must follow the rules step by step, so that you can get things done.
good."
"I understand, boss, sustainable development." Yuliang said with a smile.
"Well, I won't go into details. I feel more at ease when you handle things. If there is anything you need from me in the whole plan, remember to tell me."
"When the school is built, I will definitely need you to attend, boss."
"That's no problem. I should help with some publicity."
"By the way." Yuliang put down the plan and then took out a stack of personnel information, "Boss, the company is going to arrange an assistant and driver for you. After preliminary screening, these four people are pretty good in all aspects. You see
Do you want to choose one?"
"Assistant?"
Yu Dong took the information. Jimmy had mentioned this to his assistant before, but Yu Dong rejected it at that time.
But now it seems that Yu Dong really needs an assistant to help him deal with some trivial matters. He can't call Yi Yi for everything and ask him to arrange people. Jimmy is usually not in the country, and all the company's big and small matters are all for Yi Yi.
In charge, if his energy is distracted by some small things, it is not appropriate.
"Let me see."
Yu Dong looked through the information and found that there were four people in total, three men and one woman. He excluded the women first. After all, he was a family man now and should avoid suspicion.
The remaining three men, between the ages of twenty-five and thirty-five, all have undergraduate degrees.
Yu Dong finally chose the youngest one, because this young man's information stated that he could speak English and German. With him, he might be able to save a translator.
"Just him."
"Jiang Jie, okay, then I'll let him take you back now."
"good."
Jiang Jie is younger than he looks in the photo. According to his profile, he is twenty-five years old, but he looks to be in his early twenties. Maybe he just went to work and did not buy suitable clothes. The suit he is wearing is a bit old and baggy.
It should be someone else's.
"Boss, are you going back to Jinyi now?"
"Well, go back to Jinyi. From now on, don't call me boss, call me Brother Dong, or call me Teacher Yu."
"Then I'll call you Teacher Yu."
On the way back to Jinyi, Yu Dong said to Jiang Jie, "When I'm not looking for you, you can just stay in the company and wait for my call. I saw on your profile that you can speak English and German. What is your approximate level?"
?”
"Basic communication is no problem, English should be better, and I have written English papers."
Hearing what he said, Yu Dong was a little curious, "You graduated from Jinling University majoring in computer software. As far as I know, this major at Jinling University is a national key major. You are proficient in English and German. Why did you choose Deep Space Company?
?”
"Because the salary is high."
Yu Dong smiled and said: "The reason is very good."
After chatting for a few words, Yu Dong had a very good impression of Jiang Jie. Although he looked a little shy, he did not shrink back and spoke very calmly.
Generally, graduates with Jiang Jie's qualifications would be reluctant to drive for others, but Dudong didn't see any dissatisfaction from Jiang Jie. He was neither arrogant nor impetuous, which was good.
After the car arrived at the door of Jinyi, Yu Dong said again, "I should have less time to look for you recently. When you are at the company, you can study more. As for what to study, you decide for yourself. Think about what you need."
What."
"Teacher Yu, I understand."
…
After Jimmy finished fooling Yu Dong, he immediately started promoting his new book "Fatal Identity".
The first part is to put up posters of "Fatal Identity" in the Werewolf Club.
Nowadays, Werewolf has become a popular game in New York. Because playing this game theoretically does not require any props, people can play it at home as long as they find enough people.
However, most people still prefer to go to the Werewolf Club.
The main reason is that the atmosphere here is very good, the game is more immersive, and you don’t have to worry about finding people by yourself. More importantly, you can get points by playing here and climb the rankings.
Because of the points, the competitiveness of the game suddenly increases.
The current Werewolf Club can no longer accommodate players. Especially at night, it is almost full every day, so Jimmy is planning to open a second Werewolf Club.
However, opening a club is simple. The difficulty lies in synchronizing points and rankings, but these things must be done, otherwise the two clubs cannot be connected and the brand cannot be built.
Jimmy's plan is to build a website to synchronize this information. In the future, members can also see everyone's ranking information on the Internet in real time.
Since we are going to do the Internet, we might as well start with the Werewolf game. Now everyone is in the exploratory stage, and there are still many immature aspects of the Internet, but it is precisely when the Internet is not yet mature that we start exploring it. useful.
In the future, when the whole world is connected to the Internet, everything will be easier.
In fact, the promotion of "Fatal Identity" is effortless. Yu Dong now has many book fans in the United States. It can be said that as long as the two letters YU are displayed, a large number of readers will be willing to pay.
Furthermore, now that "The Second World" is about to be released, Universal is relying on Yu Dong to hype it up and also promote Yu Dong.
Moreover, Bantam Company will definitely go all out to promote the new book.
Soon, the news that YU's new book will be released at the end of September spread all over the United States. However, the point is still behind. What Jimmy wants is not the early publicity, but the later publicity. He wants to use "Fatal Identity" to make Yu Dong famous As a mystery novelist, his status in the world of mystery novels is the same as his status in the world of science fiction novels.
Let people know that YU can do anything.
It’s not easy to achieve such an effect with a book, but Jimmy believes that as long as the marketing is done well, nothing is impossible. And, isn’t there the trump card of werewolf killing?
Recently, he has contacted a number of newspapers, planning to use the Werewolf game to break news and increase the popularity after the new book is released.
…
Before "Fatal Identity" was released, "To the West" was already available to everyone in China, and Yu Dong and Cheng Yanqiu also arrived in Yanjing.
When Yu Dong saw He Qizhi, He Qizhi had a smile on his face.
Previously, the release of "Going West" was delayed due to problems in the printing plant. At that time, He Qizhi was depressed for a while and felt that this was not a good sign.
Unexpectedly, after two months passed, they discovered that it was a blessing in disguise.
A few days ago, there was a lot of buzz about the release of "Second World" in China. The book "Second World" was sold out of stock, and the author Yu Dong also entered the public eye again.
With such big news, "Westward" comes out at this time, which can be said to have taken full advantage of the opportunity.
The book signing originally scheduled for North Street was moved to Xinhua Bookstore two weeks ago.
"I printed 50,000 copies before, and I was still a little worried. Now it seems that more printing will be needed soon. I asked the publishing house, and they have informed the printing house that they are ready to print more at any time. Abandoned Capital... Abandoned Capital is just Not to mention, Bailuyuan has sold more than 500,000 copies, I don’t know if Xiangxi can break through.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He Qizhi talked about sales, but Yu Dong couldn't answer the conversation, so he changed the subject and asked, "What time will the autograph signing start tomorrow?"
"The plan is to start at nine o'clock. If you think it's early, you can postpone it."
"No, just nine o'clock."
"Well, you have to work harder. If you need anything, please contact the publisher at any time and let them provide it. I heard before that you signed tens of thousands of copies in one day in the United States?"
Yu Dong shook his head and said, "No, it seems to be only six or seven thousand copies. I didn't ask for details."
Only six or seven thousand copies... He Qizhi shook his head, with a very complicated mood. When these words came out of Yu Dong's mouth, they actually sounded quite natural.
That's six to seven thousand books. I heard that one person is limited to buying two books. Even if everyone buys two books, there will still be three to four thousand people.
A book signing event, with three to four thousand people in attendance, has never been of this scale in China.
He suddenly has higher expectations for tomorrow's autograph signing. Will the autograph signing of "Westward" reach the same number?
Even if you can't reach it, if you get half of it and sign out three to four thousand copies, it's still an incredible achievement.
When Chen Zhongshi signed books on North Street before, they felt it was very lively, but they only signed six to seven hundred books at that time.
He Qizhi still remembered the scene at that time. It was overcast and foggy that day, and the bookstore was full of people.
At that time, He Qizhi was thinking, no matter how popular it is, this will be it, right?
Maybe tomorrow, he will be able to see a more exciting scene.
…
What He Qizhi didn't expect was that they didn't have to wait until the next day, that afternoon, the threshold of their "Contemporary" was breached by a visitor.
Most of the people who came were journalists, those from print media asking for exclusive interviews, those from TV stations recording programs, and those from radio stations recording audio. All of a sudden, the contemporary editorial department of "Contemporary", which was not large in the first place, was packed to the brim.
I don’t know how they knew Yu Dong was here. None of them came in the morning, but in the afternoon, they all came over in a swarm as if they had made an appointment.
As soon as they came in, they shouted: "Where is Teacher Yudong? Where is Teacher Yudong?"
This battle frightened He Qizhi, and he did not dare to let Yu Dong go out. Only after asking people to ask, did they find out who had tipped them off that Yu Dongren was already in the editorial office of "Contemporary".
Yu Dong usually lives in Jinling, and the media in Yanjing rarely see him in person. If he caught such a good opportunity, he would naturally not want to miss it.
