After coming out of Disneyland, Yu Dong and the others rushed towards the hotel. When they were about to arrive, Jimmy asked again: "How is the situation with Yang Minru and Cheng Huichang? Did you call last night?"
Yu Dong smiled and said: "I called, but it was just for the remainder of the call. Both teachers are at home now and there is no way to call."
"What about the margin? I didn't call you back this morning?"
"I got back. Teacher Yang Minru got through the phone and told her what happened. She was happy to learn that this was the case and agreed immediately. Teacher Yang is also very enthusiastic about work and asked us when we would start.
I guess she can’t sit still even after she retires, and wants to find something to do, and this thing is right up his alley.”
Jimmy nodded and asked, "What about Teacher Cheng Huichang?"
"The call didn't go through. I don't know what's going on. I asked my father-in-law to go for a run after dawn."
Jimmy smiled and said: "With Director Cheng taking action, there should be no problem."
"Another surprise is that my father-in-law was very interested when he heard about this and asked if he needed help from their school's ancient literature teaching and research section."
"That's a good thing. How is the level of their ancient literature research laboratory?"
"It's very good. The main direction of research is also more suitable for this activity. I have already thought about it. There are seven people in their research room now. The editing and research tasks are not heavy recently, so I plan to start from their research room in the name of deep space.
Seconded three people, plus two teachers, Cheng Huichang and Yang Minru, to form a temporary working group. Cheng Huichang will be the team leader, and Yang Minru will be the deputy team leader. The office location will be arranged in the Literature Theme Hall of the Theme Building, and they will be moved
Two houses out."
Jimmy nodded in agreement, "Well, this arrangement is good. Anyway, you should pay more attention to this matter. First, you know more about this aspect, and second, you are closer to the country."
"no problem."
As the two of them were about to enter the hotel, Jimmy suddenly asked again, "By the way, and I heard that Nesbo called you?"
Yu Dong nodded, "Well, he said he would have a concert tomorrow night and left me a ticket. Why didn't I know about this before?"
Jimmy smiled and said, "You have a book signing tomorrow. Let me tell you what this is for. You can carry out the book signing tomorrow as normal and don't care too much about Nesbo's thoughts."
"You should at least tell me. He called me and I didn't know anything. It's so embarrassing."
Jimmy rolled his eyes, "Xiao You is a person who just comes up with whatever he wants. I know that he likes your works. He talks about it to us every day because your "Golden Dream" rekindled his imagination.
He has a passion for music. But he made this call even though he knew you had a book signing tomorrow, didn’t he mean to embarrass you?"
"Then why should the autograph session and his concert be put on one day? Can't they be staggered?" Yu Dong asked doubtfully.
"Isn't this all for his own good? He is not popular in the United States right now, so he can't take advantage of your popularity."
Yu Dong nodded, "Okay, I understand. I'll take a look at this matter tomorrow."
…
Cheng Liye went to Qu Jinyue's residence early in the morning and told Qu Jinyue about the special topic on ancient Chinese poetry that the Deep Space Company was going to do.
"That's a good thing." Qu Jinyue patted her thigh and said with a smile: "Old Cheng, I just said that your son-in-law is not an ordinary person. Look, he has done another great thing for the country and the people."
Cheng Liye smiled and waved his hand, "For the country and the people, that's too big a statement. It's just the ordinary business of their deep space company, and it just means promoting Chinese culture."
Qu Jinyue stood up and added some water to Cheng Liye's cup, "Old Cheng, I think you are happy in your heart, and you are still pretending to be humble here. I wholeheartedly support the cooperation with the Deep Space Company, but
I'm afraid there may be some problems in finding Mr. Cheng Huichang."
"How to say?"
Qu Jinyue sighed slightly, "I think I have a cold. I have been lying in bed for several days. I am over eighty years old and my body is prone to problems. Although deep space is not a big deal, it still takes a lot of time.
He needs some energy, but he can’t keep up now.”
Cheng Liye was very surprised, "I remember I just met him at the beginning of last month. He was in great spirits. How many days have he been here?"
"As I said, I'm getting older."
Cheng Liye nodded, he also knew this truth, but he was still sad. When he saw Cheng Huichang a few days ago, the old man was still very lively, and he didn't look like he was in his eighties at all.
He also thought of his old man, whose health was deteriorating day by day, with minor illnesses occurring every three days. He wanted to invite him to Luoyuan to recuperate, but neither of them was willing.
The two elders have stayed at Yenching University for more than 40 years, and their life circle is there. Naturally, they do not want to live in Jinling for a long time.
Cheng Liye was usually busy with work and could not always be with him. During the summer vacation, he wanted to go there and fulfill his filial piety, but he was kicked back by the old couple after only a few days.
Rubbing his thighs, Cheng Liye sighed again, "Then I won't tell him about this, so as not to worry about it again."
"That's right." Qu Jinyue smiled and nodded, "If you want me to take a look, you don't necessarily have to find Mr. Cheng. Xiao Mo is pretty good. Speaking of which, his research direction is closer to Mr. Cheng's.
Deep space is the theme of this event.”
The Xiao Mo that Qu Jinyue was talking about was Mo Lifeng, the current deputy director of their Chinese Department, who was also a graduate student under Cheng Huichang.
Before Cheng Liye could speak, Qu Jinyue spoke again: "Compared with Mr. Cheng, Xiao Mo has another advantage, that is, he majored in English as an undergraduate."
"Indeed." Cheng Liye nodded. What Deep Space is doing this time particularly requires bilingual talents like Mo Lifeng.
but……
Cheng Liye raised his head and looked at Qu Jinyue, but stopped talking.
Seeing him like this, Qu Jinyue said with a smile: "Why, are you still dissatisfied with Xiao Mo? It doesn't matter. If you have any problems, just tell me directly. What did we say today? You can speak freely."
Cheng Liye waved his hands quickly, "No, no, I don't have any objections to Director Mo. I also agree with you that he is more suitable than Mr. Cheng in this matter. But... Yu Dong told me that he
I would like to second a few people from the research office, plus two teachers, Cheng Huichang and Yang Minru, to form a temporary team, with Mr. Cheng as the team leader. But in this situation, the team leader must..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Before he said anything else, Qu Jinyue already understood.
After all, Mo Lifeng is the junior. After the group was formed, Yang Minru was naturally the leader in the absence of Cheng Huichang.
In this way, the situation completely changes.
Originally, Cheng Huichang led the team and added a few people from Jinling University. This project must be led by Jinling University. But in this case, Yang Minru led their teachers from Jinling University to do the project.
When people asked later, oh, this project turned out to be spearheaded by Teacher Yang Minru of Yenching Normal University.
Although they shouldn't think too much about learning, this is something they need to consider seriously.
Especially for Qu Jinyue, who is the principal, he should consider these things.
If you want to solve this problem, you must either not invite Yang Minru or invite Cheng Huichang, because there is no professor at Jinling University who is older and has a higher professional level than Yang Minru.
After pondering for a while, Qu Jinyue smiled heartily and said, "What's the name of the city? Yan Normal University is also Yu Dong's alma mater, so it's okay to let their school take the lead. Let's not argue about this kind of thing. It goes against our true intentions.
It also hurts harmony."
Cheng Liye also laughed and said, "Principal, you are right, so let's not argue."
Qu Jinyue picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and then said: "Fight about what should be fought, and take it easy on what shouldn't be fought. Just like what happened this time, Deep Space wants to promote ancient Chinese poetry. This is a fight, a battle of culture.
The struggle is a battle of ideas. We have to fight in deep space, and we have to fight even more. What we fight is to do this thing well. As for other things, whether we fight or not, it has little impact."
Cheng Liye held the tea cup and said with a smile: "Teach me."
"What kind of teaching did you get?" Qu Jinyue smiled and waved her hand, "Your son-in-law can see these things, and he has done it. Okay, the matter is settled like this, I will call Xiao Mo now,
Invite him to come."
…
"Well, okay, I know, just do as they say."
Yu Dong had just gotten up when he received a call from Yuliang, who reported to him the situation in Jinling.
Cheng Huichang was replaced by Mo Lifeng, so there was actually no big problem.
In essence, this time they are killing the chicken with a knife. The main reason for bringing in Yang Minru and Cheng Huichang is to get a good start. It would be good to switch to Mo Lifeng now.
Qu Jinyue and the others called Mo Lifeng Xiao Mo, but Mo Lifeng was not young, he was almost fifty. He majored in ancient literature. Yu Dong had seen him speak on the "Hundred Schools Forum" before.
"Poetry of the Tang Dynasty".
When Yu Dong went to Jinling University before, he met Mo Lifeng several times, but they didn't talk about poetry, only some trivial matters.
After hanging up the phone, Yu Dong packed up his things and prepared to go to the bookstore to sign books. Cheng Yanqiu, who was brushing his teeth, asked in a vague voice: "Are you going to Yu Nesbo's concert tonight?"
Yu Dong patted his head and said, "I almost forgot about this. It depends on the situation. When will his concert be?"
"Seven to nine."
"It's over too early, I'll try my best."
YU Nesbo's concert was held on the same day as Yu Dong's autograph signing. This was a deliberate move by the company in order to attract YU's readers from Los Angeles to Nesbo's concert.
Although Nesbo is very famous in the Norwegian music industry, his little fame is not easy to use after coming to the United States, so the company wants to use this method to lend YU's popularity to Nesbo.
.
In fact, this plan was effective. At least more than 15,000 of the 18,000 tickets for this concert were sold, which was the highest attendance rate of Nesbo's concert since he came to the United States.
.Many of them went to Yu Dong’s book signing during the day and then attended the concert at night.
In fact, Nesbo's music is quite good, otherwise it wouldn't be so popular in Norway. After coming to the United States, I felt a little acclimated, and more importantly, the time was too short.
If you give him time and Deep Space slowly develops its promotional package, he will definitely be able to carve out his own niche at North American music festivals.
However, Deep Space Company hopes to speed up this process, especially since "The Butterfly Effect" is about to be released, and the theme song singer Yu Nesbo will naturally come out to promote it.
…
After arriving at the bookstore, Yu Dong quickly started signing books without saying a word.
Today he came very early, increased his power, and signed autographs very fast.
He didn't stop until seven o'clock in the evening. He raised his head and asked the staff next to him: "How many people are still queuing outside?"
"There are at least four hundred people left, and people are still coming."
Four hundred people... Yu Dong probably did the math in his mind, and then said to the staff: "Go and stop the team. Someone will come later and tell them that today is over."
The staff nodded and did as he asked.
After more than an hour, Yu Dong finally signed the last reader.
"Finally signed."
…
Located at the Hollywood Bowl on Highland Avenue in North Hollywood, more than 10,000 spectators cheered and danced amidst psychedelic lights and passionate music.
This kind of excitement is not unusual for the Hollywood Bowl. For people who often hang out in Hollywood, today's excitement is just passing the level at the Hollywood Bowl.
Yu Nesbo on the stage shook his head, and the sweat beads in his hair were thrown out together with him and sprinkled at his feet.
Today's scene is not only just passing for the Hollywood Bowl, but also just passing for him personally.
In Norway, if he gives any concert, the audience will be more than this.
After coming to the United States, he had to start many things over again, and he also had to learn to adapt.
But having said that, if it weren’t for the strong support of Deep Space Corporation, it would not have developed so fast in the United States.
Some time ago, he also held a concert in New York, and Deep Space even invited Sting to support him. Although the concert was not large in scale, the scene was very lively.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After finishing the song, Yonesbo took a sip of water, and while drinking the water, he also looked at the two empty seats under the bleachers.
He knew that YU was having a book signing today, but he still sent the tickets there. He also prepared a song "Golden Dream" to give to YU on the spot.
But unfortunately, the concert was almost over and both seats were empty.
After drinking the water, Yu Nesbo interacted with the audience for a few words, and then started singing the next song.
The prelude of the song had just started, and Yu Nesbo saw two people holding hands and walking towards the empty seat with a low body.
It's YU and his wife! They're really here!
Seeing YU, Yu Nesbo suddenly became more energetic and his movements on playing the guitar became louder.
At the end of a song, he was already out of breath. This song was more strenuous than the previous songs, and the audience was also ignited by Yu Nesbo's emotions just now. At the end of the performance, they
Still shouting non-stop.
When his breathing calmed down and the cheers subsided, Yo Nesbo raised his hand high.
Seeing him raise his hand, the audience gradually became quiet, waiting for him to speak.
When the decibels at the scene had dropped to the lowest point, Yu Nesbo finally spoke: "The next song is an adaptation of The Beatles' "Golden Dream", and this song, I hope to give it to someone
A very important person, and he is also the author of the novel "Golden Dream"."
Author of "Golden Dream"?
The scene immediately became lively.
At first, people whispered to each other.
Soon, they started to get excited, and the word YU also appeared in the crowd, but there was still some uncertainty in their voices.
"YU probably won't come. I rushed over there just after seven o'clock. The queue for the autograph session was very long."
Some people expressed doubts, but no one wanted to hear this. They all hoped that YU would really come.
Yu Nesbo on the stage was very satisfied with the audience's response. He shouted again: "Let us shout his name together, Y--"
The audience did not disappoint him, shouting: "U!"
"Y!"
"U!"
