Yu Dong and Cheng Yanqiu had not rested for a while while lying on the bed, but Hu Changqing knocked on the door outside.
"Yu Dong, are you here?"
To be honest, Yu Dong really didn't want to reply.
But Cheng Yanqiu pushed him and said, "Hurry up and open the door."
He had no choice but to stand up and shouted: "It's not here yet."
Then he opened the door again.
Seeing Yu Dong, Hu Changqing smiled and said, "I counted the time and knew you should arrive. Xiaocheng, I didn't disturb you, did I?"
Cheng Yanqiu smiled and said, "No, Secretary Hu, we have just arrived."
"That's good. Yang Peng and He Hongwei have been waiting for you, but they just went to see celebrities."
He turned sideways and let Hu Changqing into the room. Yu Dong was about to pour himself a glass of water. Hu Changqing raised the cup in his hand and said, "No need to work, I will bring the water myself."
Yu Dong curled his lips and thought to himself: Do I want to pour you some water?
After taking a sip of water, Yu Dong asked him, "Which star did Yang Peng and the others go to see?"
"I don't know what her name is. She is a female star from Xiangjiang. I heard she is very beautiful and dressed very fashionably."
The person I’m talking about should be Liang Yongqi. Stars from Xiangjiang are indeed more fashionable. It’s normal for young people to be curious. Yu Dong didn’t pay much attention to it.
But after a while, Yang Peng and others came over.
On their way back to the room, they heard voices in Yu Dong's room and knew that Yu Dong had arrived.
Seeing more and more people, Yu Dong chased them out and followed them there himself, leaving the room for his wife to have a good rest.
As soon as he entered He Hongwei's room, Yu Dong smiled and said, "I heard that you went to see a female star. How was it? What do you think?"
"Hey, forget it, we didn't watch anything, we were staying in the room. Besides, we are not watching female stars, we mainly want to watch the director." He Hongwei defended himself.
Yu Dong nodded, "I understand, are Teacher Wang Jingkang and the others here?"
"Here we are, including Liu Cixin. The two of them ran outside. I heard that a science fiction themed bookstore opened in Rongcheng, so they went to check it out." Yang Peng said.
Liu Cixin's "Supernova Era" has not been revised yet, but last year he published an article "Microscopic End" in "Science Fiction World".
After coming here last time, Liu Cixin became good friends with Hu Changqing and Wang Jingkang. According to Liu Cixin himself, he mainly felt that he and He Hongwei were much older and there was a generation gap.
This actually makes no sense. In terms of age, He Hongwei and Yang Peng are in the same group, Hu Changqing and Wang Jingkang are in the same group, and Liu Cixin should be in the middle, barely in the same group as Yu Dong.
However, Liu Cixin prefers to put himself in the senior group, and the important thing is that the senior group is willing to let him play.
Speaking of the science fiction-themed bookstore opened in Chengdu, Hu Changqing said with a smile, "I was the first to know about this bookstore. I came early and wandered around, and I saw such a bookstore near Tianfu Square. The bookstore is very good.
It’s obvious that the operator is a senior science fiction fan, but I don’t think this bookstore will last long.”
"Why?" Yu Dong asked.
"Because the boss is a fool, and he is the only one in the store. I walked around for a long time, but he didn't even look at me. He kept lying on the recliner and reading. Can this bookstore be run well? I don't think he thought about it at all.
Sell ​​the books."
He Hongwei chuckled and said, "Secretary Hu, what you said makes me want to take a look."
Because He Hongwei and the others have always heard Donghu Secretary Hu call him Secretary Hu Changqing, and they followed suit and called him Secretary Hu. Not only them, but now Yang Xiao and Tan Kai will also call him Secretary Hu when they see Hu Changqing.
For those who don’t know, they might think how high an official Hu Changqing is.
Hearing He Hongwei's words, Yang Peng nodded, "I'm also very interested. From what Secretary Hu said, I feel that this boss is someone who has made a lot of money from his family and opened a bookstore for fun. Maybe there are some in his bookstore.
nice one."
"If you are interested, let's go back and have a look together." Yu Dong said with a smile, "This is the first time I know that there are science fiction themed bookstores in China."
He Hongwei looked at Yu Dong and said, "Brother Dong, do you mean there are science fiction themed bookstores abroad?"
Yu Dong nodded, "Yes, as far as I know, there is a bookstore in Minneapolis in the United States called Uncle Hugo's Science Fiction Bookstore. There are many rare books in it, such as the first copy of "Interstellar Paratroopers". Next to it
, there is also an Uncle Edgar's Mystery Bookstore, and the two bookstores have been in business for more than ten or twenty years."
Yu Dong had only seen these two bookstores in the news, but had never actually been there. He also wanted to go and visit them if he had the chance.
He Hongwei looked envious, "It would be great if we also had a bookstore like this."
"This kind of bookstore is just like what Yang Peng said. It is completely run by the owner for fun and has no intention of making money." Yu Dong said with a smile.
"To be honest, I even want to open a bookstore like this." He Hongwei said.
"Can't you open a restaurant? It just so happened that you made a fortune during this period." Yang Peng said with a smile.
"The little money I have is not enough."
"Tens of thousands of dollars is not enough. You are quite ambitious."
"If you want to drive, you must look presentable."
…
With Yu Dong nearby, they were discussing the bookstore, and they couldn't help but sigh that today, the domestic science fiction world is very different.
Three years ago, everyone basically got together for their hobbies. At that time, they basically didn’t think about making money from science fiction novels to support themselves. But today, three years later, they have more or less relied on science fiction novels to support themselves.
Made money.
He Hongwei, like Hu Changqing, both received copyright fees from Jimmy.
This amount of money is certainly a huge sum for them who have just graduated.
He Hongwei and the two of them were already very successful. They paid for school tuition and living expenses by relying on manuscript fees. Occasionally, they could even send a few hundred yuan home.
After receiving the copyright fee this time, He Hongwei immediately told his parents about it. Previously, his parents had a somewhat contradictory attitude towards He Hongwei's writing of novels. On the one hand, the children paid for their tuition and living expenses by earning royalties, which saved a lot of money for the family.
A lot of pressure, which makes them very happy.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But on the other hand, they feel that writing novels is not a long-term solution, and they are afraid that He Hongwei will delay his work and affect his future because of this matter. In this case, the gains outweigh the losses.
But this time He Hongwei suddenly made tens of thousands of dollars, and their minds were suddenly changed.
Parents and children always have very different ideas, and sometimes conflicts arise due to different opinions. However, both parents are pragmatic parents. Seeing that He Hongwei can support himself by writing books and live well, his parents also
I have no opinion.
He Hongwei is still working, and Yang Peng has done more thoroughly. He decided to make a living by writing when he was in college, so he started his life as a freelance writer directly after graduation.
This time he came to Chengdu to attend the Galaxy Awards Ceremony. He arrived half a month in advance and took a good tour of the attractions in Chengdu. He also planned to visit the cities around Chengdu after the Galaxy Awards ended.
He himself said that he should use his feet to measure the mountains and rivers of the motherland.
The vitality of China's science fiction world can be seen from these science fiction authors. They are full of vitality because of the vigorous development of Chinese science fiction, and at the same time they pour their vitality into the science fiction world through their works.
…
When Wang Jingkang and Liu Cixin came back from outside, it was already dinner time, and Xiao Li from the magazine came to see them for dinner.
The eve of this year's awards ceremony is not a buffet. "Science Fiction World" treats everyone to a good meal in advance, and the meal is very sumptuous.
Before the banquet started, Yu Dong met Feng Xiaoning, an old acquaintance.
Feng Xiaoning is in a good mood recently because the project for the new movie "Red River Valley" has been approved. During this time, he has been preparing for the new movie.
"But it's a pity. What I want to shoot the most is your "Prison No. 7"." Feng Xiaoning smiled, with a hint of regret in his smile.
Regarding the filming of "Prison No. 7", Feng Xiaoning had a serious talk with Jimmy and finally decided to give up. The filming of this film was not as simple as he initially imagined. If it is to be shot well, it will definitely cost a lot of money.
money.
Yu Dong comforted him and said, "It doesn't matter, Director Feng. The time is just not ripe now. I believe there will be opportunities to cooperate in the future. By the way, I will get married on September 10th. If Director Feng has time then, I will definitely do it."
Take your time and go there.”
"I have to go even if I don't have time, haha. Where is the specific place? Is it Jinling or Shanghai?"
"In Jinling, after a while I will send you an invitation with detailed information on it."
"OK."
Feng Xiaoning nodded and was about to continue talking when a girl in her early twenties suddenly jumped up next to her.
"Director Feng, you are here."
She really jumped over and even startled Yu Dong.
Yu Dong first heard her voice, which was slightly hoarse, and then looked at her profile. She was slightly plump and looked quite energetic. When she turned her head and looked over, Yu Dong recognized who it was.
It's the young and fat Ning Jing.
"Xiaojing, why are you always surprised?" Feng Xiaoning said to her with a smile, and then introduced her, "This is Teacher Yu Dongyu."
When Ning Jing heard about Yu Dong, her eyes widened in surprise and she said, "So you are Teacher Yu Dong. Hello, Teacher Yu."
I have to say that Feng Xiaoning's evaluation of her was very fair, even though she was shocked.
"Yu Dong, this is Ning Jing, the heroine of "Red River Valley"."
Yu Dong nodded, "Hello, Ning Jing."
"Teacher Yu, you are really young. They all said you were young. I didn't believe it at first. But now that I have seen you in person, you feel even younger than they said. But science fiction writers seem to be quite young. I saw several
Looks even smaller than me."
"There are always different ages in every group."
"Not really." Ning Jing tilted her head and said, "I see that those famous pure literature writers are all older than the last, except for you, Teacher Yu, of course."
That's because you haven't seen many pure literary writers.
Yu Dong thought so, but didn't say it out loud. Ning Jing, a little girl, gave people the impression that she was carefree and not too cool.
Afterwards, Yu Dong had a casual chat with them. It could be seen that Ning Jing wanted to talk about something related to literature, but she really didn't know much about literature. She was still too young and didn't know how to use her strengths and avoid her weaknesses.
But one thing is better. She doesn't seem to be afraid of exposing her ignorance. This doesn't sound like a good thing, but it is indeed a rare quality. Most people are always afraid that their ignorance will be known, but they don't understand.
, Exposing one's ignorance is sometimes not a bad thing. After ignorance is exposed, it is easier to be eliminated.
After they chatted for a while, Ning Jing suddenly looked towards the door of the hall. At this time, a man and a woman walked into the hall.
As soon as these two people came in, they attracted a lot of attention, and most of the attention was focused on the woman.
A woman with a slender figure and very beautiful appearance. The key is that she is wearing a black suspender dress. The hem of the skirt just reaches above the knees. It is very cool and perfectly shows off the curves of her figure.
Yu Dong recognized Liang Yongqi and Ye Weimin. He glanced at them and felt that Liang Yongqi was tall and pretty, so he had no interest in looking at them more.
Feng Xiaoning might have avoided suspicion and didn't look at her more. On the contrary, Ning Jing had been looking at Liang Yongqi.
"She is so tall and her clothes are so beautiful." Ning Jing sighed, "The stars in Xiangjiang are just different."
Although Ning Jing does not know Liang Yongqi, she also knows that a female celebrity from Hong Kong is coming to this award ceremony.
Although there have been some movies co-produced by the Mainland and Hong Kong in recent years, such as "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance" and "Sunny Days" in which Ning Jing participated, generally speaking, there is not much exchange between the two parties.
So when a female star from Hong Kong suddenly comes, everyone will be very curious, and the news will spread very quickly.
Feng Xiaoning said with a smile, "Don't envy others. Actors don't look at this. You have potential. Don't think too much in the past two years. Only by honing your acting skills in a down-to-earth manner can you go far in this field."
"I sincerely follow Feng Dao's teachings." Ning Jing said in a funny way.
While several people were talking, Cheng Yanqiu ran over. As soon as she and Yu Dong entered the hall, she was pulled over by Yang Xiao. Now Yang Xiao was busy and had no time to look after her, so she came to see Yu Dong.
Seeing Cheng Yanqiu, Ning Jing was startled and said, "Teacher Yu, your lover is so beautiful, she is even more beautiful than the female star in Xiangjiang just now."
Cheng Yanqiu smiled and said, "Little sister, you are also very beautiful. You are no worse than anyone else."
Ning Jing was not afraid of strangers. She hugged Cheng Yanqiu's arm and said, "Sister, you are not only beautiful, but you also speak well."
…
After Ye Weimin entered the hall, he took Liang Yongqi directly to find Yang Xiao.
"Yang, Yang...I, I..."
It’s not that Ye Weimin stutters, but his Mandarin is really poor. Liang Yongqi’s Mandarin is better, and he came here this time to take on the responsibility of translating for Ye Weimin. But now he can only worry, because he can’t translate what Ye Weimin said.
Yang Xiao smiled and said, "Director Ye, please speak Cantonese. I can understand a little bit. Even if I can't understand, isn't there Miss Liang?"
Ye Weimin breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Thank you, President Yang, I need to practice more Mandarin."
"It's okay. Take your time. When we return, there will be more opportunities to come to the mainland in the future."
Ye Weimin nodded, "Yes, yes, I came here with the idea of ​​​​cooperating more with the mainland in the future. By the way, is Teacher Yu Dong here? President Yang, can you help make an introduction?"
"Okay, it just so happens that his lover..." Yang Xiao smiled and nodded, looking back to find Cheng Yanqiu, but found that Cheng Yanqiu was no longer there, so he looked around the hall again and found the location of Yu Dong and the others, "He is over there
