Chapter 742 Returning to the Nest
"Boss, are you going to write a script for him?" Yuliang's expression looked even more surprised.
However, what surprised him was different from Zhuang Weijian. Compared to Yu Dong's creative speed, Yu Suan was even more surprised that Yu Dong would write a script specifically for Gu Tianju.
Louis Koo is not bad. He has attracted widespread public attention since he acted in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". The following few years have been smooth sailing, and he has filmed many TV series.
But apart from his appearance, Koo Tian-lei doesn't have any special advantages. He has low academic qualifications, a criminal record, and his acting skills are average and not outstanding.
Based on Yu Dong's understanding of Dong, when selecting actors, Yu Dong prefers to choose actors who have their own ideas on performance and have better acting skills, and don't pay too much attention to the actor's appearance.
So Yu Dong would write a script specifically for Gu Tianzhu, which surprised Yuliu.
Seeing that Yuli was so confused, Yu Dong didn't explain too much. He just smiled and said, "I just happened to think of a script in the past two days, and I met Gu Tianzhu today. I think he is quite suitable, and he is not special.
Write a script for him."
"Oh, that's it." Yu Liang nodded, "But one thing is that Gu Tianzhen is really good-looking. Although he is tanned now, he is still very good-looking. If nothing else, he is in the entertainment industry just because of his appearance.
The result won’t be too bad. Boss, will you publish the script directly this time, or will you publish the novel first?”
"I don't have the energy to write a novel now that I have a script."
"Okay, I'll report to Mr. Ji later." Jimmy had told Yuliang earlier that as long as Yu Dong had a work coming out, he must report it to him.
Speaking of Jimmy, Yu Dong smiled and asked, "Jimmy, is he in love recently? He calls me less often."
When it comes to gossip, he is quite enthusiastic, "It seems so, but he is quite low-key and avoids people when he calls. We all know that he has a girlfriend, but we have never seen what his girlfriend looks like.
"
Yu Dong nodded and smiled, "That's good. This shows that he is still very serious about this relationship. It is necessary to protect the woman. Jimmy is also a public figure now, and his love will definitely attract the attention of reporters.
It would not be a good thing if the media pays too much attention to his girlfriend."
Although Yu Dong shines brightly, as the helmsman of the Deep Space Company, Jimmy is now also a popular figure in the business world, and his photos frequently appear on the front pages of major business newspapers.
Some media have revealed that Jimmy's annual salary alone is now US$20 million.
As for how much shares Jimmy holds in Deep Space America and whether he has other income, these media outlets are unclear. However, conservative estimates suggest that Jimmy is worth at least several hundred million U.S. dollars. If he holds a larger share in Deep Space America, he will have to earn more
This number has doubled many times.
In the eyes of the public, Jimmy is a young and promising rich man - yes, although Jimmy is in his forties, he is indeed very young compared to the wealth he possesses.
The main reason is that Jimmy is pretty good-looking, so he stands out among the rich.
For such a young rich man, if a woman is with him, it will inevitably cause others to speculate that the woman is Tujimi's property.
So Jimmy's unwillingness to reveal his girlfriend's identity is indeed to protect her.
Regarding Jimmy's gossip, the two did not talk in depth. Yu Dong looked at the time and said with a smile: "You have nothing else to do here, right?"
Yuliang shook his head, "No more for now."
"Well, I'll go back first."
…
When Yu Dong arrived home, Cheng Yanqiu was already lying on the sofa and asleep.
Because her belly is getting bigger and bigger, it is more uncomfortable to sleep on the bed, so Cheng Yanqiu likes to lie on the sofa more often.
The doctor told them that it was not good to lie on the sofa for a long time, because the sofa is relatively soft, and pregnant women are suitable for sleeping on a harder bed. However, Cheng Yanqiu still likes to sit on the sofa. There is no way, so Yu Dong can only replace the sofa at home with a harder material.
Yes, lying on it is almost like a bed.
He walked over and tucked his wife in, and Yu Dong went to the bathroom to take a shower.
After taking a shower, Yu Dong walked to the study. He wanted to write the outline of the script he promised to Gu Tianzhen today.
Yu Dong saw that Gu Tianzhu liked science fiction so much today, so he searched in his brain for any science fiction movies suitable for Gu Tianzhu. After thinking for a long time, he finally thought of a movie - Source Code.
A pilot who died in the line of duty, but whose brain was not dead, was sent by science fiction personnel into the source code made from the memory of the history teacher who died in the train explosion eight minutes before his death. He went back to the eight minutes before the train explosion to look for clues about the suspect who planted the bomb.
, to prevent another bigger explosion.
"Source Code" is not a "hardcore" science fiction story. It is fundamentally different from stories such as "Deep Space".
In the entire story of "Source Code", there is not much elaboration on the so-called source code, only a vague concept.
When watching a movie like this, if you insist on the sci-fi setting, you are undoubtedly making yourself uncomfortable.
Compared with the less rigorous science fiction setting, the story of "Source Code" is brisk and attractive, making it a very good movie.
As a science fiction movie, the cost of "Source Code" is not too high. Most of the scenes in the entire movie are in the train, basically looping those eight minutes, over and over again.
The young Louis Koo's acting skills are not outstanding, and the movie "Source Code" does not require such "explosive" acting skills.
The story of "Source Code" is very simple, but if you want Louis Koo to play the role, you need to make some adaptations.
Yu Dong, who picked up his pen, was also thinking about how to adapt the script.
At the beginning, Yu Dong really thought about setting the background of the story in China, and then filming directly in China.
But then I thought about it and decided to give up this option.
Since you are making a science fiction movie, the market you are facing will definitely not be just domestic. The movie must be tested globally.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! And Yu Dong does not think that a science fiction movie starring all Chinese people will be a big hit at the box office in Europe and the United States.
Deep Space Corporation has done a lot in recent years, but it has not been able to reverse the situation to this point.
So after much deliberation, Yu Dong decided to do a "China-US co-production", setting the story in the United States, using Chinese actors for the male lead and some of the actors, and European and American actors for other passers-by and the female lead.
Step by step, European and American audiences will slowly adapt to more and more Chinese people appearing on the screen.
Yu Dong did not follow the setting of the protagonist being a pilot, but instead set the protagonist to be a genius scientist. He originally participated in the research of "source code", but due to an experimental accident, his body died but his brain did not.
Because when I was studying the source code, I referred to the protagonist's brain wave frequency, so the protagonist's brain waves are more consistent with the source code.
As for the rest of the story, Yu Dong did not make many changes and basically followed the rhythm of the original movie.
However, Yu Dong felt that although the original film was short, concise and fast-paced, it lacked exploration of some details, so Yu Dong extended the story a little bit.
He estimated that according to his script, the entire film should take about 20 minutes longer than the original "Source Project".
After writing the rough outline, it was already past twelve o'clock. Yu Dong closed the notebook, then walked to the other end of the sofa and lay down.
The new sofa is very big, more than enough to sleep their family of three.
…
Yu Dong had a dream. Jimmy got married to his girlfriend, but their wedding was in Chinese style.
Jimmy wore a bright red dress and walked from one end of the red carpet with his newlywed wife on his arm. A beam of light came from the bride's back, making it impossible to see her face clearly.
Just when Yu Dong stretched his head to see clearly what the bride looked like, he suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums.
Yu Dong half sat up on the sofa, still a little confused. He thought the sound of gongs and drums he just heard came from his dream, but at this moment he heard another sound of gongs and drums outside.
The sound of the gongs and drums was not too loud. Whether it was far or near, Yu Dongdong judged that it should be coming from the Government Affairs Building, next to the football field.
Cheng Yanqiu, who was next to her, also woke up leisurely. She glanced at Yu Dong and asked, "What time is it?"
Yu Dong raised his eyes and looked at the quartz clock on the wall, "It's already seven fifty."
"I've slept for so long." Cheng Yanqiu rubbed his head and looked outside, "Is there someone beating gongs and drums outside? Who is doing something today?"
"I don't know." Yu Dong shook his head.
Just when the two were confused, they heard the sound of gongs and drums getting closer and closer to their apartment building. When they were approaching the downstairs, they stopped again.
Then Yu Dong heard Feng Ming shouting at the top of his lungs: "Welcome several Wenqu stars back home."
"We weren't marching to fight, so why did we go back to the DPRK?"
"Back to the nest, the nest of the bird's nest."
"Well, you old Feng, you said we are birds!"
Hearing the voices of Yu Hua and Bi Feiyu, Yu Dong suddenly realized, "It's those idiots who are back."
Yu Hua and the others came back today. Yu Dong knew about this, but he didn't remember it specifically.
Besides, they came back as soon as they came back. Why did they create such a big battle, with gongs and drums beating?
"I gonna go see."
Yu Dong wore pajamas and slippers and walked outside the house. He leaned against the corridor and looked down. He saw Uncle Zhou and two young men from the reception room, one holding a gong and the other holding a drum, lined up next to Yu Hua and the others.
Both sides.
"Uncle Zhou, why are you still beating gongs and drums?" Yu Dong asked.
Everyone looked up at Yu Dong, and Uncle Zhou explained with a smile, "Principal Wu heard that they are coming back this morning, and specially asked us to welcome them. I think this welcome is nothing more than the blast of firecrackers and the noise of gongs and drums.
, the firecrackers can't come, but the gongs and drums can be arranged... Teacher Yu, I'm disturbing you to sleep, but I'm afraid of disturbing everyone, so we stopped knocking when we got there."
Bi Feiyu smiled and said: "Just don't disturb Teacher Cheng. As for some people, they don't deserve to sleep!"
Yu Hua followed up in a strange tone: "Oh? Lao Bi, who are these people you are talking about? The one you don't want to talk about is the black-hearted capitalist who ran back early and abandoned us abroad to work hard for him."
"I don't dare, Mr. Yuan. It's our honor for us assholes to work for Mr. Yuan. Is it possible that you still have complaints?"
"I don't dare, I don't dare, it's too late for me to be happy." Yu Hua pointed to his face, "Look at me, is my face covered with a happy smile?"
Yu Dong was upstairs, listening to the two singing and harmonizing, and his eyes rolled to the sky.
Liu Changmin also stretched his head from upstairs to look down, and said with a smile: "While you guys are abroad, we see you on the news every day. I heard that the autograph signing scene is very popular. I
I also learned a new idiom on the Deep Space Network two days ago, called 'New York paper is expensive'."
"Yes." He Yu stuck his head out from the other side, "Jinling TV also has special programs. Did they send reporters to the United States to interview you?"
Yu Hua nodded, "What reporter? It's Shao Tianjun, the deputy director of Jinling TV Station. He used to work for the Yangtze Evening News. Don't you know him well? After he went there, we signed autographs and took photos with him during the day, and we gathered together at night.
Let’s play cards together. This guy is not very good at poker, so he lost all his travel expenses in the end, but we brought him back.”
Wang Xiaobo said with a smile, "It's not that exaggerated, it's just a bit insufficient. We just added dozens of dollars to him."
Hearing that it was Shao Tianjun who was there, Yu Dong curled his lips. He and Shao Tianjun had also played cards once. Lao Shao's poker skills couldn't be described as "not good", they were simply bad, extremely bad.
Bi Feiyu likes to count cards when playing cards, and he is very good at counting cards. He often counts all the cards in everyone's hands clearly after playing cards. Shao Tianjun is completely on the other extreme, he can't count any cards at all.
Apart from anything else, he couldn't even count the four ghosts clearly.
But Lao Shao also loved to play. As time went by, Lao Shao got a nickname, "Losing Money Boy".
Because Yu Hua and the others came back, the faculty and staff apartment became lively instantly, and many teachers came out to chat with them.
Yu Hua and the others were not in a hurry to go home, so they stood downstairs chatting with everyone with their heads held high.
When Yu Haiguo and Feng Changdi ran to find their father, Yu Hua and Bi Feiyu hugged their sons again and sat downstairs at the card table, chatting leisurely with others. Come on.
For just a moment, it was like a tea party was held in the faculty and staff apartment. Everyone was upstairs and downstairs, on different floors, putting aside what they were doing and chatting relaxedly and enthusiastically.
For most people, this was less like a tea party and more like watching a performance, and Yu Hua and the others downstairs were the guests.
The happiness index of Jinyi's faculty and staff is very high. On the one hand, the accommodation conditions are good. On the other hand, the faculty and staff who live in the faculty apartment can always hear Yu Dong and others chatting. These few people, just say something casually. Everything is very interesting.
