Yu Dong didn't talk too deeply about the new novel "WALL-E" on stage. He just told them that the new novel is a science fiction novel about the future and maybe about love.
After coming down from the east, the annual meeting is basically over, and then the guests take over the interview session with reporters.
Because there will be a live TV broadcast this year, in order to prevent any accidents from happening, all interviews are arranged in advance. Everyone just needs to follow the process.
Although the guests did not exchange questions with the reporters, the reporters had already sorted them out and they probably would not ask too outrageous questions.
Of course, Deep Space Company did not completely trust these reporters, and even guarded against them. Today's live broadcast was not completely real-time, but was delayed for a period of time.
The pictures seen by all TV stations are ten seconds slower than reality.
When we were discussing whether to cooperate with ABC TV station and broadcast live to the outside world, someone raised a question. After all, China is not as good as Europe and the United States. If there is an accident on the scene, the impact will not be good.
Especially since this live broadcast is for the whole world, if it causes any bad impact, it will definitely not be small.
Therefore, Yu Dong proposed to delay the live broadcast for ten seconds. If there is any emergency, ten seconds is enough to cut off the screen.
But when they heard this proposal, ABC TV station said it couldn't accept it. They believed that since it was a live broadcast, it must be accurate to every second.
Other live broadcasts are delayed due to technical reasons, but they took the initiative to delay it for ten seconds.
But Deep Space is also very determined, saying it will not cooperate unless it is delayed.
After careful consideration, ABC agreed.
After all, for viewers watching live TV, a ten-second delay is nothing. With the current network environment, no audience can react even if it is a few minutes late, let alone ten seconds late.
The only drawback is that it doesn't sound very good if you say it later.
After the scene ended, the guests began to exit in an orderly manner. Yu Dong turned around and was about to talk to Cheng Yanqiu, but saw that Cheng Yanqiu had been restrained by Ning Jing, Hu Jing and Li Bingbing.
Ning Jing said with a smile, "Brother-in-law, leave my sister to me. Many people will be looking for you right now."
Cheng Yanqiu turned back with a smile, "Jingjing is right, you go about your business, I'll take the girls to play."
Yu Dong glanced at Ning Jing and the others and said, "What are you doing? Hu Jing, Ning Jing, and you, Li Bingbing, you have all arranged interviews, have you forgotten? Where are Yan Danchen and Mei Ting? Just now?
I saw them, but why are they nowhere to be seen now?"
"Sister Ting and the others went to find Shakira. Yan Danchen saw Shakira belly dancing last time and thought it was very interesting and wanted to learn from her," Hu Jing said.
"Belly dancing? You will graduate in half a year. Are you ready for your graduation homework? There is still time..."
Just as Yu Dong's teacher became more impressive, Yu Hua and Wang Xiaobo came over.
Yu Hua joked, "Commissioner, are you lecturing the little girls again? This is not in the school, so you should stop being so paternalistic and come with us to deal with the reporters."
Without saying anything, Dong did not respond. Yu Hua and Wang Xiaobo each took one of Yu Dong's arms and pulled him toward the door.
Seeing Yu Dong being pulled away, Hu Jing patted his chest with lingering fear, looking like he was about to cry, "Teacher Cheng, Teacher Yu is so scary, how can you stand him?"
Cheng Yanqiu smiled and said, "What you said is too exaggerated. He only has high demands on you in your studies. In other aspects, his demands on you are too low."
When she said this, Hu Jing and Li Bingbing didn't feel anything at all, but Ning Jing felt something about it. What she thought of was not that Yu Dong had low requirements for his stars, but that he protected them relatively well.
Before signing with Deep Space, her stardom was going quite smoothly, but she encountered some difficulties, and she had also seen some difficulties faced by other actresses.
The same has happened in the past two years. Although she has been in Deep Space Company and is well protected, she can still hear some rumors. Unlike previous years, the development of the film and television industry has gradually opened up in recent years.
The circle is getting bigger and bigger, more and more people are eating this food, and more and more capital is entering the market.
The temptations for actors in this industry are increasing, and at the same time they are encountering more and more darkness.
Especially for female celebrities, some take the initiative to get involved in order to seek promotion, while others can't help themselves.
However, Deep Space Company has regulations that anyone who participates in the unspoken rules will be terminated from the contract, regardless of gender.
After being pulled by Yu Hua and Wang Xiaobo for about ten steps, Yu Dong broke away from their hands and said with curled lips, "Isn't it enough to just interview you two? Why do you have to take me with you?"
"Do you know what a fox pretends to be a tiger? You are a tiger." Yu Hua chuckled and said, "Didn't you realize that these reporters have to ask a lot of random questions when interviewing us? When I ask you,
If you want to answer, you can answer. If you don't want to answer, don't. They don't dare to say no."
Although Yu Hua said this as a joke, it is also true. If you offend ordinary celebrities, the worst they can do is to get scolded by the stars, but it can also increase their fame. But if you offend Yu Dong, their newspaper office may not be able to do it later.
.
Yu Dong looked at Yu Hua with interest: "Since when are you afraid of interviews? Why do I see your eyes gleaming every time you see a reporter? Of the reporters here today, how many of them are your opponents? Say
To be honest, I'm not afraid of their reporters asking random questions, but I'm afraid of your random answers."
The reporter has basically taken care of things, so there shouldn't be any problems. It's true that Yu Hua and the others are more likely to have problems.
He looked at Wang Xiaobo again, "With a tall man like him, who is 1.9 meters tall, protecting you, what else do you have to worry about?"
Yu Hua said disdainfully, "This guy is just tall, but he is actually just a silver pewter gun head, useless. I think it would be better to ask him to be my bodyguard than Feiyu."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "By the way, where are Feiyu and the others?" Yu Dong asked.
"Feiyu and Guan Moye have already gone out, as well as Han Shaogong. They are anxious to finish the reporters' interviews and then go play cards."
"The dinner party will start soon, and they are still thinking about playing cards. Is their addiction so great?"
"There are so many people who haven't interviewed, and the dinner is still early." Yu Hua chuckled, "Feiyu always loses every time he plays cards during this period. I heard that he lost all the monthly smoking money Fu Jing gave him."
Yu Dong curled his lips and smiled, "There are only two or three days left this month."
"He lost next month."
"Then it's time to quit smoking."
"I told him that too, what do you think he said?"
"What else can you say?" Yu Dong imitated Bi Feiyu's tone, "If you want me to quit smoking, you can just stab me with a knife."
Yu Hua gave a thumbs up in admiration, "The sound and emotion are both vivid and lifelike, every word is correct."
"It just so happened that Han Shaogong came, so he wanted to flip some books and play cards with Han Shaogong. He couldn't lose."
Yu Dong nodded with great approval, Han Shaogong did indeed lose often.
Han Shaogong not only loses often, but also loses a lot every time. Every time they played cards before, they all won money at the table, but Han Shaogong lost only one hundred and two hundred.
The country's economy has developed rapidly in the past two years, and the amount of money Han Shaogong has lost has also kept pace with the times. They have played cards together several times this year, and at the highest point, Han Shaogong lost more than 600.
What's the concept of more than six hundred? That's a month's salary for many people. For a small player like them, they have already lost a lot.
There is a saying in China: Confucius moves away - all is a loss.
Yu Hua and others had a lot of bad water in their stomachs, so they also made up a postscript for Han Shaogong according to this pattern, and Han Shaogong played cards - there is no limit to the sea of ​​books.
Han Shaogong has a good reputation, and he accepted the ridicule from Yu Hua and the others calmly, and even changed his nickname "Dongdong" to "The Sea of ​​Books is Boundless".
Those who didn't know the inside story might have thought that Teacher Han intended to use this nickname to encourage others to read books well, but Yu Dong and others knew that he was making fun of himself.
Yu Dong coughed lightly and joked, "Withdraw money, just withdraw money, why are you talking about playing cards?"
Yu Hua chuckled again, "Then will you withdraw money together tonight?"
"That's all, I don't smoke, so I don't need to earn money for cigarettes. Let's go out quickly, and in a moment..."
Yu Dong urged Yu Hua and the others to go outside to the interview area, and Disney CEO Eisner walked over with a smile on his face.
"YU, yuhua, wang." Eisner greeted the three of them, and then said, "Are you going out?"
Yu Dong raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Well, we are about to go to the interview area. Michael, what do you want from me?"
As the CEO of Disney, Eisner was very proud of Deep Space and came to this annual meeting in person.
In fact, it is not easy to come to China. Except for Lucas and Spielberg, other companies, such as Sony and Motorola, have sent representatives here, and the company leaders will not show up.
Eisner's visit this time is, of course, a signal to the outside world, that is, to tell other major companies that they will launch deeper cooperation with the Deep Space Company.
Yu Dong was surprised because Eisner was able to call Yu Hua and Wang Xiaobo by their names.
Eisner said with a smile, "I just heard you talk about your new novel on stage. As a loyal science fiction fan, of course I am very excited and can't wait to talk to you."
Yu Dong knew that what Eisner was talking about was just a scene. This guy usually couldn't stand science fiction novels. He said this to pave the way for what follows. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Michael, are you interested in my new novel?
Are you interested in its film and television rights?"
Eisner shrugged and did not answer directly. Instead, he asked, "Who in the world can do this and not be interested in the film and television adaptation rights of your novel?"
"Michael, this matter is still..."
Before Dong Bian could finish speaking, Eisner said, "But it's very difficult to get the rights to film and television adaptation of your novel. Even if you don't plan to make it yourself, I'm not confident that you can win over Spielber."
Check them."
Eisner's words are also the general consensus in the industry today. Since a few years ago, Deep Space Company has not sold the film and television adaptation rights to Yu Dong's novels, but has stayed and produced them themselves. At most, it has released some of its investment shares.
And even if the investment share is released, it will be difficult for other companies to grab it. Many shares were snatched away by Spielberg and Lucas.
Sometimes other companies such as Disney, Warner and Universal can also get a small share, but the proportion is very small.
In the eyes of many people, Spielberg is no longer from DreamWorks, but a member of Deep Space Corporation.
Yu Dong didn't explain anything and asked with a smile, "In that case, what do you want to see me for?"
Eisner narrowed his eyes and said, "Actually, I want to ask about the Marvel copyrights you have."
A few years ago, Marvel once again fell into a financial crisis, so it began to sell off the copyrights of its superheroes. Several companies have bought them. Among them, Deep Space Company provided timely help and bought the most, including Spider-Man, Iron Man, Deadpool, Hulk,
X-Men, Fantastic Four, etc.
Except for Spider-Man, who had a five-year agreement with several other companies at the time and was in a hurry to start filming, the copyrights of other superheroes are still in the hands of Deep Space Company.
During this period, other companies also asked Deep Space if they were willing to sell, but few of them gave specific prices. Even if they did, they did not satisfy Deep Space.
The one who asked the most fiercely was Fox. They asked about almost all the Marvel superheroes that Deep Space had, and the prices they gave were all 20% higher than Deep Space's previous acquisition price.
Fox believes that the price they gave is very reasonable. After all, Deep Space Company has done nothing and can make a 20% difference in price by changing hands. What a good deal.
Yu Dong is very open-minded about these superhero copyrights. He does not necessarily have to shoot them himself. If a company really offers a price that satisfies them, it is not impossible to resell them.
But in this situation, it is impossible for any company to give a price that satisfies Yu Dong.
If no one buys it, if someone comes with a good script or funds, Deep Space can consider cooperating with others for filming.
Yu Dong looked at Eisner with interest: "Michael, are you interested in those superheroes?"
"Of course." Eisner nodded, "And I know that you delayed the filming of "X-Men" because you were too busy."
Yu Dong smiled and did not respond. Their company had indeed prepared to start filming "X-Men" this year.
As for the reason for the delay, Eisner was only half right. The main reason was that the protagonist Yu Dongqin, Hugh Jackman, encountered a car accident.
Hugh Jackman's life is not in danger, but his right leg is fractured.
After learning that Hugh Jackman was in a car accident, Jimmy proposed to change the candidate, but Yu Dong vetoed it and asked them to wait for Hugh Jackman.
Jimmy didn't say anything. Anyway, the company has many plans in the near future, so it would be good to put "X-Men" on hold.
In fact, Hugh Jackman's car accident had something to do with Yu Dong. Originally, Hugh Jackman was participating in the performance of the opera "Okola Home" in Pittsburgh. When I heard that Deep Space wanted him to participate in "X-Men"
, he drove all night from Pittsburgh to New York and hit a roadside fence halfway.
