"It's a complete rumor."
Yu Dongdui said this to Spielberg, and then said: "When Scorsese comes tomorrow, you go pick him up. I won't go. I'll wait for you here in the office."
Spielberg smiled and shrugged, "I won't go either. He will come directly to the Deep Space Park. In fact, he originally wanted to come earlier, but the movie "You Can Count on Me" he produced will be released on the 21st.
Although it is a low-budget movie, he is still very interested in it."
"I know, he called me and told me." Yu Dong nodded and said.
Spielberg stood up with a smile and said, "Okay, I'll go back to the hotel first. See you tomorrow."
…
After Spielberg left, Yu Dong didn't stay in the office for too long. After sorting out the manuscript for "WALL-E" a little, he got up and rushed to the lounge at the music theme hall.
When he arrived at the place, the place was quite lively.
Probably because Cheng Yanqiu came to see them, the singers were not in a hurry to leave. Cheng Yanqiu was not only their boss lady, but also a well-known musician. The song "Jinghong" was widely circulated, and she was also the president of Deep Space Music.
consultant.
Everyone's attention was focused on Cheng Yanqiu, so much so that when Yu Dong walked to the door of the lounge, no one noticed him.
"Ahem." Yu Dong coughed lightly. When people turned around, he said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work tonight."
"It's not hard."
"Teacher Yu was joking."
"It is our honor to perform on stage today."
Everyone responded word by word, Yu Dong smiled, and then said: "Although the music theme day has come to an end, the burdens on everyone are still there, Deep Space Music, Alpha, and Deep Space American Music
The department's year-end meeting has not yet been held, and your development plans for next year have not been finalized yet. The company certainly has plans for your development, but at the same time it will definitely respect your own wishes, so I hope you will first
Think about it for yourself, and then you can fully exchange opinions during the later discussion."
Yu Dong talked about work as soon as he came, which made the originally relaxed atmosphere become a little serious. Cheng Yanqiu smiled and said, "Okay, everyone is tired today. Let's wait until tomorrow to talk about meetings and plans.
When you weren't here just now, Kelly told me that she hoped to have the opportunity to hold a concert in China."
"Okay, but the process of arranging concerts in China takes a bit long... If it's a little better in Jinling, I'll let you make the arrangements later. Just talking about the concert, I'll say a few more words, starting from next year
, your concerts will more or less increase, so you should prepare in advance. Don’t be like some people who can only remember one lyric out of ten after going on stage.”
When Yu Dong said this, Jay Chou and Mayday lowered their heads in embarrassment. Mariah Carey also raised her eyebrows when she heard the person next to her translate.
Yu Nesbo joked in less fluent Mandarin, "Jaylen, it's okay, even the Chinese audience can't understand the lyrics of your song. When you go to concerts in Europe and the United States, they can't even understand it clearly, even if they forget it.
Even if you sing the lyrics casually, they won’t be able to detect it.”
It was nothing at first, but when Yu Nesbo said this, everyone turned their attention to Jay Chou, who smiled awkwardly and was too embarrassed to say anything.
"Okay, it's getting late tonight. Let's all go home." Yu Dong said to everyone, then turned to Jay Chou and said, "Jay Chou, please come out."
…
Following Yu Dong and Cheng Yanqiu out of the lounge, Jay Chou originally thought that Yu Dong was going to tell him about forgetting his lyrics at the concert, and was about to give Yu Dong a military order to promise not to forget his lyrics in the future, but he heard Yu Dong say, "Jie
Lun, I remember you usually play games."
Jay Chou nodded slowly, "Let's play...but not a lot."
In fact, he plays a lot. When he is not making music, he hangs out with Liu Genghong and others, playing basketball or video games. However, he is afraid that Yu Dong will criticize him for not doing his job properly, so he says that he does not play a lot.
Although Yu Dong rarely criticizes others, he gives Jay Chou a very majestic feeling, the kind of person who is not angry and asserts his authority. Talking to Yu Dong, Jay Chou feels like talking to the teacher when he was in school.
"Do you want to play computer games?" Yu Dong asked again.
Jay Chou shook his head, "There are very few computer games."
He didn't lie this time, because they usually play more console games and rarely play computer games.
Yu Dong nodded, "Okay, now I'll give you a task. Go back and find "Warcraft" for fun."
"Warcraft?" Jay Chou looked surprised. He didn't expect that the task Yu Dong gave him was to play a game.
This is not a mission. Isn’t this a reward?
"Well, Warcraft, another game under the name of Blizzard. Also, go back and play with Fang Minshan."
Jay Chou was even more surprised. Even if Yu Dong asked him to play games, he actually wanted to bring Fang Minshan with him.
"Are we just having fun, or do we have some goals to accomplish?" Jay Chou asked.
"There is no mission, just play casually."
"That's it." Jay Chou scratched his head and didn't continue to ask why, "Then I'll go back to Minshan and tell him to play with me."
"Well, that's all, you can go back."
…
After Jay Chou returned, Yu Dong and Cheng Yanqiu also hurried home.
On the way, Cheng Yanqiu asked Yu Dong curiously, "You asked Jielun and Fang Minshan to play "Warcraft" together. Do you want them to write a song related to this game?"
Yu Dong smiled and said: "You can see it, this kid hasn't reacted yet."
Cheng Yanqiu curled his lips and said, "He may not have reacted, or he may have noticed it but didn't say anything. But why did you think of asking him to write a game song? Was it requested by Blizzard?"
Yu Dong shook his head and explained, "That's not true. Blizzard has not paid this much attention to "Warcraft" yet. I am more optimistic about the Warcraft series. In the future, we may also let them promote this game, so in advance
Let Jielun and the others get familiar with it, and when the time comes to promote it, let them write a theme song."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Cheng Yanqiu’s eyelashes fluttered, “I don’t know much about games, but video games spread quickly and widely,” Jie Lun wrote for “Warcraft”
The theme song, if this game becomes famous in the future, it will be very beneficial to him."
"Of course."
What Cheng Yanqiu said was Yu Dong's plan.
He knows that "Warcraft" and "World of Warcraft" will definitely become popular all over the world, surpassing "StarCraft" in all aspects. If Jay Chou writes the theme song for "Warcraft", then his song will follow the game and spread to everyone in the world.
It's a corner, that's better than how much money they spend on publicity.
The key is that games can easily break cultural barriers. When the time comes, Deep Space will no longer have to worry about conquering regions one by one. A single game will allow Jay Chou to conquer Europe, America, Neon, and Korea.
In another time and space, Jay Chou also wrote a song related to "Warcraft" called "Orcs".
The song was very popular, but the lyrics were criticized by many Warcraft players.
The theme of the lyrics of "Orcs" is the process of the orc race turning into beasts and returning to humans, which is obviously not consistent with the setting of the Warcraft game.
This song is very famous, and "Warcraft" is also very popular, but they are both popular in their own way, and many people do not connect the song with the game.
The reason for this is, on the one hand, related to the lyrics. On the other hand, of course, it is also because Blizzard did not do its best to promote the song, so many people did not know that this song was because Jay Chou endorsed "Warcraft 3: Chaos".
"The Beginning" was written.
Yu Dong is not sure if Jay Chou will be asked to write the theme song for "Warcraft" again if it will still be "Orcs", but he believes that whether the newly written song is "Orcs" or not, there will be no problem with the quality, so let them do it as soon as possible
Playing the game, I also hope that the lyrics can be improved and more suitable for the game settings.
After the song comes out, Yu Dong will make Jay Chou the global spokesperson for "Warcraft" and bind him to the game so that players will think of his song and him as soon as they play the game.
…
As soon as Jay Chou returned to the hotel, he went to find Fang Minshan. When he arrived at Fang Minshan's room, Fang Minshan was reading "The Curse". He had read this book no less than five times. He really loved this book.
In the past, Fang Minshan preferred to read some anthologies that exported opinions and looked at other people's perspectives on problems, but since reading Yu Dong's novels, he found that the perspectives for observing the world are easier to find in novels, and they are richer.
He came back from watching the show, but he hadn't been back very long. He had just picked up the book in his hand, so he felt a little disgusted when he saw Jay Chou as an uninvited guest.
After Jay Chou entered the room and said a few words, Fang Minshan put down his book and showed a surprised expression, "You mean, Teacher Yu asked us to play games?"
"Yeah." Jay Chou nodded.
Fang Minshan frowned, "Are you sure that Teacher Yu is not sarcastic to you, or that playing games is just a metaphor, and he actually wants us to do other things?"
Regarding Fang Minshan's distrust, Jay Chou curled his lips and said: "Anyway, that's what Brother Dong said, let us play "Warcraft" together. He also said that there is no goal, so let us play as we want, and there is nothing else to say."
Seeing that Jay Chou didn't seem to be joking, Fang Minshan pondered. After a while, he asked Jay Chou his guess, "Tell me, is there a possibility that Teacher Yu wants us to write a song for this game, but is afraid that we will
I can’t write well, so let’s play the game for a while to get familiar with it?”
"I have also thought about this possibility, but Brother Dong, why doesn't he just say this directly?"
Fang Minshan continued to speculate, "There are many possibilities. Maybe he doesn't want to force us to write songs, but to let us like the game ourselves and then take the initiative to write songs. Maybe he feels that the quality of the works obtained by assigning tasks will be problematic, so
Let us generate our own inspiration.”
Jay Chou felt that Fang Minshan's guess was quite reasonable, and nodded, "I guess that's the case too, but now that we have guessed it, are we surprised that Brother Dong's efforts were in vain?"
Fang Minshan waved his hand, "Don't think so much. Just play games if you ask us to. Don't you usually play games with Liu Genghong and the others?"
“But I’ve never played Warcraft.”
"What kind of game is not playing? Only an electronic novice like me should be worried."
"It doesn't matter. I'll teach you. I also have some experience in playing games."
"But you've never played Warcraft."
"The games are all the same, you can use them all."
…
The next day, Yu Dong, Jimmy, Scorsese and Spielberg talked about the adaptation of "Infernal Affairs".
The entire negotiation process went very smoothly, and the three parties initially reached a consensus that Deep Space will be the main producer, Spielberg will provide part of the money and serve as the producer, Scorsese will serve as the director, and he and Yu Dong will serve as screenwriters.
Scorsese only had two demands: he hoped that Yu Dong would participate in the screenplay and that Mel Gibson could be invited to star in the film.
The first request was fulfilled by Yu Dong on the spot. As for the latter request, it depends on Mel Gibson's wishes. If Mel Gibson has a schedule, he probably won't refuse. After all, it is such a luxurious and dreamy lineup.
Producer Spielberg, director Scorsese, and screenwriter Yu Dong, such a lineup can be said to be the ceiling of Hollywood now. There is no other combination that can surpass the three of them.
Once the three of them stop there, their attraction to actors will be endless.
Spielberg has only one request, which is that the budget of the movie should not be less than 70 million US dollars.
Although he knew that the filming of "Infernal Affairs" only cost 50 to 60 million yuan, he believed that it would cost at least 70 million U.S. dollars to make a good adaptation.
Yu Dong and Jimmy agreed to Spielberg's request immediately, because in Yu Dong and Jimmy's own plan, the budget of the film was about 80 million US dollars, and they would deep space themselves.
About $40 million was spent on it, and the rest was left to Spielberg and other interested investors.
Yu Dong is not worried about money at all. Although Deep Space Company has been spending a lot of money recently and its accounts are a little tight, by the time the movie is officially put into production, Deep Space's funds have already begun to come back.
In fact, even if there is no subsequent withdrawal of funds, it is still no problem for Deep Space to make a few movies with the cash in hand. Those publishers, booksellers and bookstores have paid a lot of money to the company.
It's just that the money must be reserved for the acquisition of BenQ Electric General and cannot be used easily.
Based on the investigation and side contacts during this period, Jimmy believed that Deep Space Company's intention to acquire BenQ Dentsu was very promising, and Shi Zhengrong did not seem to be opposed to handing over BenQ Dentsu to Deep Space Company.
