"Guys, I have to leave first."
When everyone was silent, Rist suddenly stood up and wanted to say goodbye.
"I still have some things to deal with, and I really can't spend more time with you."
Yu Dong nodded, "Well, go and do your work and don't worry about us."
After Rest left, Mo Yan took a sip of coffee and looked at the couple's cafe where they were.
Before he came in, he didn't know why Yu Dong and the others were unwilling to choose this cafe. When he walked into the coffee shop and saw two puppets of Chinese Qing Dynasty officials sitting on the square pillar in the middle of the hall, he immediately understood why.
.
No wonder this cafe is called the Double Doll Cafe. It turns out there are really two dolls.
In Mo Yan's opinion, these two dolls were not very beautiful, and they were right on top of the pillars. You could see them when you looked up, and it felt like they were looking down at the guests who were drinking coffee.
Foreigners may think that these two dolls have an oriental flavor, but in fact, in China, no teahouse or restaurant would put such things in the store, unless they do not want customers to enter.
Especially in recent years, zombie movies have become more popular. These two puppets always remind people of zombies, which is not very auspicious.
"I plan to do two things when I go back."
Mo Yan, who was looking at the doll, turned to look at Yu Dong who suddenly spoke. Several other people also looked at Yu Dong, wanting to hear what he had to say.
"The first thing is to increase investment in education, and the second thing is to speed up the development of domestic cultural products."
Bi Feiyu blinked. These two things sounded like they were things that Deep Space Company should do. It seemed that the relationship between Yu Dong and Deep Space Company was indeed not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
"How can we help?" Yu Hua asked.
"Just be yourselves."
Bi Feiyu said doubtfully: "I don't quite understand what you mean."
Yu Dong smiled and said, "It's very simple. If you are Bi Feiyu, do Bi Feiyu well. If you are Yu Hua, be Yu Hua. If you are Mo Yan, be good Mo Yan."
"The more you talk about it, the more mysterious it becomes."
"It's not mysterious." Jiang Jie on the side said with a smile, "Brother Dong means that the names of the three of you will become a cultural symbol, and the power of these cultural symbols will help us get things done."
"Cultural symbols." Yu Hua smiled and shook his head, "Now is not the time to flatter... Do you really think the names of the three of us can become cultural symbols?"
"I believe it can." Yu Dong said decisively.
He remembered what Jimmy had told him before. Jimmy had always wanted to make the name YU into a cultural symbol. Now it seemed that it was already there, but it still needed some time to settle.
Yu Dong's previous attitude towards people like Yu Hua was to develop things at will, let nature take its course, and do some publicity along the way.
Now it seems that this idea is still a bit conservative.
If Jimmy wants to make his name a cultural symbol, then he should also make Yu Hua's and others' names into cultural symbols, so that they can be more famous than they were in their previous lives.
Only in this way can they truly form a force internationally.
With this power, whatever they want to do and promote will become easier.
When deep space is actually implemented, serious, popular, sunny, and low-level people will all become battlefields that they can handle with ease.
Yu Dong's idea is that when he goes back this time, he wants to organize a wave of literary forces to completely promote deep space.
Then he gathered the power of the film and television industry, started with science fiction, and slowly developed Chinese IPs. Therefore, he attached great importance to adapting "Bring Her Eyes" into a movie. This movie may become the first step for Chinese science fiction to enter the international film market.
An opportunity.
Seeing that Yu Hua and the others were deep in thought, Yu Dong smiled and said, "Let's talk about this in detail later. It's getting late. Let's enjoy our coffee time and go back soon."
Yu Hua nodded, "It's a pity. If there hadn't been an incident, we could have sat there a little longer."
"Who says it's not?" Bi Feiyu said with a smile.
…
Yu Hua and the others thought that the previous incident was just an episode, but in fact, this incident had just begun.
Before they even left the Double Couple Cafe, Henry, the policeman from before, led two people to the cafe and found them.
Seeing Henry and the others running into the cafe in a hurry, Yu Dong and the others were puzzled when they heard Henry say happily: "Mr. YU, I'm glad you haven't left yet. I'm here to tell you some good news."
"What good news?" Yu Dong asked.
"As for your lost property, we have found it for you. The suspect is at the police station right now, and your things are also there. I wonder if you would like to come with me to retrieve your things, and also
Identify the suspect."
Although he was in a cafe, Henry deliberately amplified his voice, as if he wanted more people to hear him.
Bi Feiyu was quite surprised. He did not expect that these policemen could actually find what they had thrown away.
"How did you find it?"
"It's like this. Considering your special status, our police attaches great importance to this case. We specially organized police forces to investigate the surrounding area. We spent a lot of effort and finally found the suspect. He confessed to the theft.
And your belongings are intact."
In Henry's words, he told them that the police were working hard, but Yu Dong suspected that these thieves had connections with the police, otherwise they would not have been caught so quickly. It had only been a long time, and they had not finished the coffee.
.
Finally, Yu Dong and the others followed Henry to the police station, met the thief, and got back Yu Hua's bag, two decks of cards, and several thousand lire, all there.
When they returned to the hotel, their buttocks were still hot, Yu Dong received a call from Jimmy.
As soon as the call was connected, the first thing Jimmy said was, "You were arrested by the police?"
Jimmy's voice was obviously very excited, as if he had encountered something great.
"We were caught, but it was solved on the spot. It should be thanks to Rist. He not only built momentum for us at the scene, but also found someone to say hello to the police station. Otherwise, we might have to pass through the police station.
One trip.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I have already criticized Rest on this matter."
"What? Criticism?" Yu Dong said in surprise.
"That's right. He was too panicked when he encountered the problem and didn't handle it well enough. If I were to handle it, you should still be at the police station now."
Yu Dong licked his lips. He felt that he couldn't keep up with Jimmy's rhythm.
"From what you say, you want us to stay in the bureau for two days."
"That's not the case." Jimmy laughed, "But at least I want you guys to stay in there for a while. The writers who have been unfairly treated by the police are too gimmicky and too popular. I'm worried.
This is an opportunity for you to make big news in Europe. Unfortunately, Rist is inexperienced and does bad things with good intentions. However, it’s okay now. Although he didn’t get involved, the conflict did happen."
Yu Dong finally understood that Jimmy wanted them to stage a drama of "civilians begging for imperial staff" in France.
If they could be detained by the police for a while, it would be like asking for a imperial staff, and then the Deep Space Company would follow up with the marketing, and the image of these brave, fearless, and unparalleled righteous men of letters would come out.
"You guys have a good time in Paris and leave the rest to me."
Jimmy said this and hung up the phone.
…
The next day, Yu Dong and the others saw news reports about yesterday's events in the local newspaper, and there were more than one.
When Jiang Jie showed them the newspaper, Yu Dong was also surprised. He didn't expect Jimmy to be so efficient. This was in France, not China or the United States.
This news is obviously material provided by Deep Space. What happened at the scene yesterday was clearly reported from beginning to end. Even what the policeman said to Yu Dong and the others was written down verbatim.
Two reports, one with a more exaggerated title than the other.
[YU, the author of "The Second World", was in danger, and Paris made a fool of herself in front of the whole world!]
[YU reported crimes and was humiliated by the police. Paris told the world, please don’t come! 】
The second news item also included a picture, in which Yu Dong held up his cuffed hands and held his head high.
[These hands, handcuffed by the Paris police, once wrote "Second World", "Resident Evil", "Go West", etc...]
This was not over yet. In the afternoon, they received another call from He Biyu, saying that their publishing house's phone number was overwhelmed. Many newspapers knew about yesterday's events and wanted to interview Yu Dong and the others through He Biyu.
.
"I didn't even know what happened, or those reporters told me that I knew something like that happened after you left the publishing house yesterday. Is the situation mentioned in the news true?"
"Is the truth."
He Biyu pondered for a while: "Is this something promoted by the Deep Space Company? Forget it, I won't ask. Do you want to be interviewed and give me an answer? I can also reply to the media."
"The interview is not necessary."
"That's okay." He Biyu smiled, "Even if you don't accept interviews, they still have news to write. But now, all of Europe knows that you are in Paris."
"All of Europe, it's not that exaggerated, right?"
"How big do you think Europe is? Okay, I won't tell you any more. Just be prepared. It's just the media reporters who are looking for you now, and there will be many people looking for you later."
He Biyu was right. Soon, not only the media was looking for Yu Dong and the others, but also bookstores, literary clubs, universities... no matter whether they were related to literature or not, they all wanted to find them.
There are actually three universities among them. I hope Yu Dong and others will give lectures at the schools, and the Paris School of Oriental Languages ​​is among them.
There are also law firms that have expressed their willingness to help Yu Dong and others protect their rights and interests.
