Chapter 591 Return to the Cretaceous
During lunch, Wei Peng rushed over. His home was not far from Jinyi, only ten minutes away by bike.
People say that a nephew is much like his uncle, and it is indeed true. Wei Peng looks very similar to his uncle Wu Changxin, but he is much taller than Wu Changxin.
Wu Changxin said that Wei Peng usually has an out-of-touch personality and is a talkative person. However, after meeting Yu Dong, Wei Peng behaved very well. He basically didn't speak during the meal. When Yu Dong asked a question, he answered with a smile.
One sentence.
After the meal was over, Yu Dong started talking to Wei Peng about business: "Xiao Wei, I'm very optimistic about this novel of yours. Shen Kong wants to sign it."
Wei Peng had not heard Wu Changxin talk about signing a contract before he came. Now when he heard Yu Dong suddenly mention it, he looked at his uncle in surprise.
Wu Changxin smiled and said: "Pengpeng, Teacher Yu really appreciates your novel and wants to sign it. I think it is a good thing. But the decision-making power is still in your hands. What do you think?"
"Should I discuss this with my parents?" Wei Peng asked.
"Yes, this is not a trivial matter. It is right to discuss it with your parents. But I think you are in your twenties and should make your own judgment."
"Of course I want to sign a contract." Wei Peng said excitedly: "I write novels just for people to read. If I can sign a contract with Deep Space, my goal will be achieved."
Yu Dong smiled and said: "It may be different from what you think. This book will not be released in physical form at the beginning. Instead, it will be published on the website first, and then it will be released in physical form when the time is right."
The so-called time is ripe, naturally it means that the novel is popular.
Wei Peng didn't hesitate at all: "Okay, isn't this normal? Wasn't it the same with "Sky Ax Sand Palace" before? It was first published online and then released in physical form. Is it still available on Deep Space now?
Shao Shao’s novel is being serialized, but no physical version has been released yet.”
Yu Dong looked at Wei Peng with interest: "Since you know so much about the mechanism of Deep Space and are more accepting of this method, why haven't you thought of submitting articles online before? Deep Space has published the editor's email address, and you can submit it at any time.
The manuscript is sent to the editor, and after it is approved, it can be signed and published."
Wei Peng scratched his head: "I have two considerations. One is that I am worried that my level is not enough and there are areas that need to be revised in the novel, so I want to find a master for advice through the back door. The second point is that I always feel that I can publish it directly online.
Going to the editor's email is a bit unreal, not like this kind of face-to-face chat..."
Yu Dong nodded and understood what Wei Peng meant. Deep space has developed very well in the past year or so, but there has not been a big explosion in the literature sector. Perhaps the situation Wei Peng mentioned is also one of the reasons.
It doesn't matter if netizens make jokes on the website, and it doesn't matter if they write some short jokes without thinking about making money, but when they encounter such serious and long-form articles, they have to think more.
All in all, the model of online literature is not mature enough and it does not encourage new authors like Wei Peng enough.
Yu Dong looked at Wei Peng and smiled. It seems that in the next year, besides music, there are many things that need to be done in deep space. Today is still rewarding. Not only did I receive a good work, but also
This made Yu Dong realize some problems.
…
Yu Dong didn't chat with Wei Peng for a long time, and let him go shortly after dinner.
Wei Peng needs to go back and discuss with his parents before he can give an answer to Yu Dong, but there should be no problem with this matter. In addition to Wei Peng's own wishes, their family also values Wu Changxin's opinions. After all, Wu Changxin is the most educated person in their family.
As long as Wu Changxin supports him, Wei Peng's parents will definitely have no problem.
Yu Dong went to Wu Changxin's office to have tea and chat for a while, and Jimmy brought Spielberg and the others to Yu Dong.
After several people went to Yu Dong's office, Lucas broke the good news: "IMAX Company has confirmed the production of "Return to the Cretaceous", and it should be available to the audience in the second half of the year."
Spielberg laughed: "The bad news is, the movie is only forty-five minutes."
Yu Dong knows this. IMAX has been developed for so many years, and the image quality is obvious to all. But why not many people pay attention to it is because the production and screening costs of IMAX are relatively high, and transportation is difficult, resulting in a relatively short film playing time.
For these reasons, IMAX has never been popular and is generally used in science popularization institutions such as science and technology museums to play some documentaries.
So after Deep Space, Lucas and Spielberg took over IMAX, the company's business has always been in this area.
Now, I finally have to make a movie, but it’s only about forty minutes, so I can’t make it very long.
Yu Dong said with a smile: "Actually, both of you should be able to see the potential and future of IMAX. After "Return to the Cretaceous", it won't be long before we receive other orders. In fact, to be honest, at that time we had to
When we cooperated to develop IMAX, I mainly considered it for the movies of our Deep Space Company. As the times develop, audiences will definitely pursue better audio-visual effects. By that time, only IMAX can bring them a more extreme experience.
."
"But the problem is, I don't know how many years it will take for this kind of technological breakthrough, one year, two years, ten years, twenty years? And after the breakthrough in duration, it will take some time to provide theater facilities. When do we need to wait?
"Lucas frowned.
In fact, it won't take long. With the promotion of the three parties, IMAX can be truly used in three to five years at most. If the theater facilities are cured, it will not be a problem. The theaters will find the solution themselves.
However, Yu Dong did not tell Spielberg and others about this. He just said: "As long as IMAX is the latest technology, as long as our deep space can afford to wait, we will always guard it."
Hearing Yu Dong's firm words, Spielberg and Lucas looked at each other. The IMAX thing was driven by Deep Space. Then the three of them were pulled onto a ship, and on this ship, Deep Space was the captain.
.
Although I don’t know why YU is so confident in IMAX, but the captain is so determined, they naturally feel more at ease.
Jimmy suddenly said: "I heard that James Cameron, the director of "Titanic", is very optimistic about IMAX."
Spielberg asked strangely: "Really? Then Jimmy, why didn't you tell us before?"
Jimmy shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "I just remembered it."
Chapter completed!
