The TV station is currently planning to shoot a local comedy, which is in the planning stage, so Zhu Yonggang has been quite busy recently.
Of course, as the director of the department, Zhu Yonggang does not need to be on the front line of TV series production. More often, he takes the plan to the station director for instructions.
When it comes to workplace work, it's never wrong to ask for more instructions.
No, I just gave the script to the director for some advice, and now Zhu Yonggang returns to his office and pours a glass of water.
But before our buttocks were warm, Li Tao, the director of the news center, came over with a smile and a tea cup.
Seeing Li Tao, Zhu Yonggang smiled and said: "Director Li, you must be very busy these two days, how come you still have time to come to my place?"
Today is the Galaxy Awards Ceremony, which is a major event in Chengdu. As a local TV station in Chengdu, they will of course pay more attention to this event, so Zhu Yong just said that Li Tao should be very busy these two days.
Li Tao pulled up a chair and sat down opposite Zhu Yonggang, "Hey, Lao Zhu, I want to ask you something."
Zhu Yonggang looked at Li Tao, "What's going on?"
Li Tao chewed the tea leaves, then spit out the broken tea leaves, and said with a smile: "Is this Mo Yan coming to your TV drama department?"
"Yes." Zhu Yonggang nodded, "This happened for more than a month, but he hasn't come to report yet."
"Then he came to Chengdu, did you know?"
"Come to Chengdu?" Zhu Yonggang looked surprised, "Did you come to Taili to report? I didn't receive any news. Where did you see him?"
Li Tao shook his head, "I didn't see him. He came to attend the Galaxy Awards Ceremony. A team from our center went to attend the Galaxy Awards Ceremony. I read yesterday's report and it said that Mo Yan was also here.
Yes. I know that Mo Yan is coming to your TV drama department, so I came here to ask you specifically."
As he spoke, Li Tao looked strange, "What do you mean by this Mo Yan? Everyone has arrived in Rongcheng, why don't you come to Taili to report?"
Zhu Yonggang was also confused, but he didn't take it too seriously, "Maybe he's planning to come after attending the Galaxy Awards. Anyway, we're not in a hurry, so it doesn't matter if he's a few days late. Besides, even though Mo Yan has arrived,
We are on stage, but after all, he has a special status and it is normal for him to have some privileges."
"Well, that's the truth." Li Tao lifted the cup and put it down as soon as his mouth touched the edge of the cup. He looked outside the door and then whispered: "Actually, I think it would be better for Mo Yan not to come. He is now
He is full of right and wrong. If he came to our station, he might cause chaos in our station. Why do you think he transferred from the army and came to our station?"
Zhu Yonggang raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't that enough? Can the quarrel between the literati involve the work unit?"
Li Tao curled his lips and shook his head. He was already thin and had little flesh on his cheeks. When he curled his lips like this, the wrinkles on his face also folded up.
"Lao Zhu, you are still thinking too simplistic. I saw someone scolding Yu Dong and others as a kind of Jin Art Gang, creating a circle and excluding dissidents. They also scolded the Jinling Art Institute. They are a school.
There is no way to escape, and our TV station is even less likely to survive. For example, if Mo Yan comes, will you let him write the script or not let him write the script?"
"Don't let it go. The outside world will definitely say that our station is a waste of resources, even with such a great writer. Let it go. If there are any ideological problems after finishing writing, we will definitely be implicated."
Zhu Yonggang said indifferently: "It's not that serious. Let's not think about it. Whether Mo Yan comes or not is his own business."
…
The next morning after drinking, Jiang Jie gave Xing Yusen's information and the novels he had written to Yu Dong.
Yu Dong also didn't expect Jiang Jie to be so efficient, and that the things he explained the night before would come to fruition so quickly.
Xing Yusen's works are actually quite easy to find. Knowing that his pen name is Lover, you can find them by browsing through previous issues of "Science Fiction World".
Personal information is more difficult. After all, the Internet is not very developed now and Xing Yusen is not a celebrity.
Of course, the information Jiang Jie sent was also very simple. It only contained some superficial information such as Xing Yusen's place of origin, school, age, etc.
After taking a look at Xing Yusen's personal information, Yu Dong looked at the novel he wrote.
Last year, Xing Yusen published four short stories in "Science Fiction World". This output is not high, but considering that it is much more difficult to publish manuscripts in "Science Fiction World" now than in the past, he can publish four manuscripts in one year.
, it is already very difficult for a newcomer.
After reading Xing Yusen's four novels, Yu Dong's evaluation was only four words: pretty good.
But it's just pretty good, and the level can't be said to be that high.
In addition to four novels by Xing Yusen, Yu Dong also read a novel written by Chu He.
Even as a newcomer, Chu He's works are better than Xing Yusen's.
Xing Yusen has a problem. Even short stories can convey the feeling of a short-lived family.
This is not to say that having a low-income family is bad, but for a short science fiction novel, having a low-income family is a bit inappropriate.
But this seems to be another advantage of Xing Yusen. He can make the inappropriate stories about parents very interesting, which adds a little color to the novel.
In this regard, Yu Dong came to the conclusion that if Xing Yusen did not write science fiction, but switched to life novels, he might perform better. He has a talent in this area.
Probably because science fiction is more popular now and has a larger audience, he devoted himself to it. Yu Dong also understands why Xing Yusen later participated in the screenwriting of film and television dramas such as "Family with Children" and "Sister Ma". In these dramas
, he can show his talents very well.
"Haven't you finished reading yet?"
Yu Dong was thinking about Xing Yusen when Cheng Yanqiu put his arms around his neck from behind and asked softly.
"After reading it, the writing is okay." Yu Dong smiled, turned sideways, saw Cheng Yanqiu carrying a small bag, and asked curiously: "Are you going out?"
"Well, I'm going out with Xiaojing and the others, so I won't be back for lunch."
"they?"
"And Li Bing."
Yu Dong nodded. Because Li Bing participated in "Bring Her Eyes", he also received an invitation from "Science Fiction World" to attend the Galaxy Awards ceremony.
However, thinking about the three girls going out, Yu Dong was still a little worried, "Let Xiaojie drive you there. Chengdu is not as good as Jinling. People here are not familiar with the place, so don't run into any danger."
Cheng Yanqiu actually didn't think there was any danger in broad daylight, but he still nodded in agreement, "Okay, then I'll trouble Jiang Jie. But having said that, Jiang Jie is your assistant, so you can't always use him as a bodyguard."
Yu Dong smiled and said: "It won't take long."
"Why?"
"Preparing to give him a promotion."
Yu Dong had planned to promote Jiang Jie at the beginning of the year, but he had never thought of what position to give him.
In fact, Yu Dong is still a little reluctant to leave Jiang Jie. This guy needs to have academic qualifications and abilities. He must be a top student in the computer department, speak several foreign languages, and be practical in his work. It is difficult to find such an assistant again.
But since he is so capable, we can't keep him as an assistant.
If Yu Dong, the boss, is a serious boss who manages the company's affairs every day, there is no problem for Jiang Jie to be his assistant for a few more years.
But although Yu Dong is the boss of Shen Kong, his focus is still on school and writing. It will be difficult for Jiang Jie to get more promotion at work if he is with him. If he doesn't leave, his future will be affected.
For young people, salary is important, but the path to advancement is even more important.
What Yu Dong wants now is to let Jiang Jie return to the company to participate in the operation of Deep Space. If he strives for his own success and does a good job, Deep Space can be left to him to take care of in the future.
"Then you have to look for an assistant next time." Cheng Yanqiu smiled and walked out: "I'm going to leave first, otherwise I won't be able to go shopping."
"Well, remember to come back before the ceremony in the afternoon." Yu Dong nodded and called Jiang Jie again and asked him to drive Cheng Yanqiu and the others out.
Not long after Cheng Yanqiu left, Tan Kai came.
It is not yet clear whether Yu Dong can win the award today, but he will definitely be able to go on stage because he still has another task today, which is to award the award.
Yang Xiao had already told Yu Dong about the award, but Yu Dong never knew what award he was awarding.
Tan Kai came to him this time just to talk about this, "What you are awarding today is the Best Science Fiction Short Film Award."
"Best Science Fiction Short Film Award?" Yu Dong looked at Tan Kai in surprise and guessed, "Is this award temporarily established?"
"Your guess is absolutely correct. It was only last month that we decided to establish this award."
Yu Dong nodded secretly. It seemed that they specially set up this award after seeing the short film "Bring Her Eyes".
It's just that Yu Dong felt that this was a bit rushed.
"I understand what you mean, but isn't this award a bit sloppy? Apart from "Bring Her Eyes," there should be no short films included in the selection, right?"
Tan Kai smiled and said: "Even if there are other works, I'm afraid it won't affect the result. I understand your concerns very well, but what we want is to start with this short film to attract more people to participate in the production of science fiction films.
Come."
After listening to Tan Kai's words, Yu Dong sighed: "I hope it can happen."
In fact, this sudden increase in awards is very risky. If an award wants to have enough weight, it is taboo to add or change awards frequently. Last year, comics awards were added.
…
Yu Dong never expected that Yang Xiao and the others would be so bold this time. Not only did they add the Best Science Fiction Short Film Award, they also changed the original awards.
Before the awards ceremony began, there was a half-hour opening performance, and the last program was still a stage play.
This stage play is adapted from "Bring Her Eyes", and the effect of the stage play is beyond Yu Dong's expectations.
"Bring Her Eyes" is a science fiction novel after all, and many of the scenes involved in it are not easy to present on the stage, but this stage play is very well done, at least science fiction writers like them can understand it.
At the end of the stage play, Yang Xiao walked onto the stage amidst warm applause, first gave a welcome speech, and then announced the awards that would be awarded next.
"The next award to be awarded is the Best Short Story Award. A total of six novels have won this award..."
Hearing Yang Xiao's words, Yu Dong was stunned.
At the same time, most of the people present were also stunned.
Before the Galaxy Awards, there was no Best Short Story Award at all. When the Galaxy Awards were first co-organized by "Science Fiction Literature and Art" (now "Science Fiction World") and "Wisdom Tree", the winning works were separate, and the two magazines each
There is a batch, divided into two levels: A and B.
Later, "Wisdom Tree" ceased publication, and the Galaxy Award was organized solely by "Science Fiction World", which became the first, second, and third place awards, which lasted for several years.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems understandable, because in the early days of "Science Fiction World", there were no long novels. Only after Yu Donghengkong was born, the magazine began to serialize long novels.
Nowadays, the awards are still divided into first, second and third place. It seems inappropriate to not distinguish between long and short stories.
"The winning works are hcq's "Falling Mars", Zhengshi's "Super Hot", Liu Cixin's..."
When he heard that "Falling from Mars" had won the award, Yu Dong looked maliciously at Hu Changqing, who was sitting next to him.
Hu Changqing was also looking at Yu Dong.
"What should we do?" Hu Changqing whispered, "You go up or do I go up?"
Yu Dong also responded in a low voice, "Isn't this nonsense? You won't read the novel you wrote?"
"This novel is your idea, you go ahead."
"It's impossible, I..."
The two were arguing quietly, but the other five award-winning authors had already stepped onto the stage. Yang Xiao took the microphone and said jokingly: "Where is hcq, is he asleep?"
Yang Xiao knew that hcq was Hu Changqing, so when she said this, she was looking in the direction of Hu Changqing.
Speaking of which, Hu Changqing had another novel this year that performed well, but because "Falling to Mars" was really good, Yang Xiao and the others had no choice but to give up the other one.
Everyone else present also looked around, wondering where hcq was.
Many people have heard about this hcq, especially people like Xing Yusen and Chu He who often surf the Internet.
In the science fiction section of deep space, hcq is a legend in the world.
At that time, hcq sprayed Fu Shui all over his body on the forum, which aroused the resentment of many fans of Fu Shui. Later, hcq wrote a science fiction novel and posted it online, and also submitted it to "Science Fiction World". The novel was "Falling to Mars"
.
Therefore, in the hearts of many "deep friends", hcq is a very capable troll.
Chu He was looking around in the auditorium, wanting to see what hcq looked like. He was a loyal fan of Fushui.
"I want to see who this hcq is."
On the other side, Yu Dong and Hu Changqing were fighting.
"Lao Hu, it would be shameful if you don't go up. Hey, hey, you..." Before Yu Dong could finish his words, he felt two arms hugging him.
It was Hu Changqing. He opened his arms and lifted Yu Dong up.
"It's him, he is hcq!"
Hu Changqing pointed at Yu Dong and shouted.
Everyone looked at Yu Dong.
Confused, confused, still confused, the expressions on each face are exactly the same as if they were copied.
Even Yang Xiao, who was holding the microphone, was like this.
What the hell is this? Isn’t hcq Hu Changqing? How did he become Yu Dong? This is not how you joke.
Yu Dong, who was being watched by everyone, lowered his head to look at Hu Changqing and rolled his eyes. This guy was very happy trolling people on the website at the time, but now he is scared.
Now that the matter was over, Yu Dong walked up without keeping everyone waiting for too long.
As soon as he went up, everyone made way for him, as if he was the only one to win the prize.
Faced with the sudden situation, Yang Xiao only panicked for a second, then collected her emotions and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that when we called hcq, Yu Dong was called up. Why don't we give the microphone to Yu Dong first?
Let him tell us what the situation is."
Yang Xiao then handed the microphone to Yu Dong.
Yu Dong smiled and took the microphone: "I came to receive this award on Fu Shui's behalf. Friends who are familiar with me and Fu Shui should know that he and I are colleagues and both are teachers of Jinyi. When we are in school, we also
We would talk about some topics related to science fiction. The novel "Falling to Mars" came from a chat between us. I won't go into details about how we talked about it. After we finished chatting, Fushui was very interested in this story.
I am interested and expressed my willingness to write it out.”
"At that time, Fu Shui liked to have friendly exchanges with some netizens in deep space, so after finishing the novel, he published it on the website..."
Chu He listened blankly to Yu Dong's speech, his brain a little down.
Does this mean that the hcq who was sprayed by Fushui on the website and then chased by Fushui's book fans was Fushui himself?
Isn't this a bit ridiculous?
Yang Xiao on the stage understood the whole story and took another microphone and said: "Thank you Yu Dong for sharing this interesting story with us. Two excellent writers have created an excellent novel together. There is no comparison."
This is even more wonderful. But I regret to tell you that we have only prepared one trophy. You may have to discuss who will put the trophy after we go back... Okay, let us focus on the other ones.
On the winners..."
Several other winners stepped forward to deliver their acceptance speeches.
Hu Changqing sat below with a look of regret on his face. If he had known that Yu Dong was going up, he would have sold him, so he might as well have gone up.
Now, everyone in the world knows that he is the one who trolled him on the website.
After the Best Short Story Award was awarded, Yu Dong walked down with the trophy, then thrust the trophy into Hu Changqing's arms and said, "I got it back for you."
Hu Changqing was not polite and put away the trophy, "I'll just put it away. You may still have it in a while, but I probably won't."
"Yes or not, this is all yours. You said you are the same, just go up to it openly, you had to pull me up, and you made such a farce."
Hu Changqing tilted his head and laughed, "Otherwise, how would you have the chance to promote deep space? Look at how many reporters came today. Now that you have spoken on stage and mentioned deep space, these reporters will definitely report it.
"
Yu Dong squinted his eyes, but he didn't expect Lao Hu to have such a business mind.
"I have so much time to do to promote deep space."
Chapter completed!
