On the afternoon of July 13, Yu Dong and his wife arrived at the entrance of the Los Angeles Convention Center in a vehicle arranged by the company.
As soon as the car stopped, the reporters on the scene began to press the shutter frantically, fearing to miss even a second of the picture.
As the last group of guests to appear today, Yu Dong and Cheng Yanqiu naturally attracted much attention.
The place in the Los Angeles conference was quite large, but it was already crowded with people. Yu Dong looked at the red carpet through the car window and saw only a dense crowd of people.
There were a lot of people here today, and the red carpet was not very wide. Of course, the guests could not walk on the red carpet as calmly as at a normal award ceremony. No matter where they went, they would be surrounded by a group of reporters. The scene was noisy, but it was a bit like
It's a farmer's market in the morning.
After taking a deep breath, Yu Dong opened the car door and led Cheng Yanqiu out of the car.
Before the couple's eyes could adapt to the extremely high-frequency flash, the reporters had already gathered around them.
They knew how to exercise restraint. Although they surrounded them, they kept a distance of nearly one meter from Yu Dong and his wife.
When attending formal occasions, Yu Dong usually only wears two sets of clothes, one is a regular black suit with a white shirt, and the other is a somewhat Chinese-style gown. For today's occasion, he chose a black suit.
Cheng Yanqiu doesn't attend many events, but she does have a lot of dresses. She doesn't need to rent clothes. Each outfit is individually customized.
However, Cheng Yanqiu's dresses are relatively simple and elegant, and the difference from the clothes commonly worn in daily life is not particularly exaggerated. In addition to formal events, they can also be worn in daily life sometimes.
For example, the off-white dress Cheng Yanqiu wore today, which cost tens of thousands of yuan to order, is the kind of style that can be worn daily. Mainly because of her natural beauty, it also adds a lot of color to the dress.
Yu Dong looked at the crowded crowd on the red carpet in front of him and did not go any further. He simply stopped and waved to the reporters as a greeting.
Of course, the reporters would not miss the opportunity. As Yu Dong waved, several microphones were already in front of the two of them.
"YU, is this your first time attending a movie premiere?"
Yu Dong shook his head and said with a smile, "No, I have attended many premieres, but there were more people here this time. You were probably not there in the previous ones."
"I heard that Zhang was the director you selected to shoot "Golden Dreams". What qualities did you see in Zhang that made you choose him to shoot "Golden Dreams"? Before this, Zhang had never proven himself in Hollywood.
Do you have confidence in him?"
"If you have seen director Zhang Yimou's previous works, you should be able to understand why I chose him. If you have not seen his movies before, then I believe that after today, you will be conquered by his pictures. As for him
He has never proven himself in Hollywood. In my opinion, he does not need to prove himself in Hollywood. On the contrary, Hollywood must prove that it has the ability to accommodate all outstanding directors. If "Golden Dreamland" can achieve commercial success, it will
It's a step forward for Hollywood."
Hearing Yu Dong's words, Cheng Yanqiu next to her pursed her lips and suppressed a smile. Over the years of marriage, she found more and more that her husband was not only a great writer, but also a big liar.
The reporters present were all veterans, and of course they would not be fooled by Yu Dong's words, but they could not ask further questions about this question.
"YU, the sales of "WALL-E" are as good as your other works. Do you have any ideas to adapt this novel into a movie?"
Regarding this question, Yu Dong said frankly, "Many directors and screenwriters have asked about the adaptation of "Wall-E", but for the time being I have not seen any filming plans that make me excited. If you ask me if I have any ideas for adaptation, then
Of course there is, but it still depends on whether there is an opportunity. If I encounter a more suitable shooting project, I will directly hand over "Wall-E" to the other party."
"There are rumors that the game mall space that was launched a month ago came from your idea. Is this true?"
Yu Dong nodded and said, "Yes, it's my idea."
The rumors were confirmed by Yu Dong himself, and the reporters present were very excited.
A reporter continued to ask, "But the performance of space after it was launched can only be said to be average... I say average because it is compared with the Internet products you have planned before. Before this, as long as you participated in the planning, whether it was a game or
Websites are deeply loved by the majority of netizens. Although the data of the space platform after its launch is not bad, it is far inferior to other products you participated in planning. Was this thing expected by you, or do you have a strong interest in the space platform?
The data performance after going online is also quite disappointing?”
Yu Dong mused: "The data performance of space is within my expectations. First of all, I want to say that it is impossible for every product I participate in to produce will be a great success. There are also cases of failure, but the ones that fail
Cases often don’t get many people’s attention. In addition, my expectations for space are long-term. Although I also hope that it will become a hit as soon as it goes online, I am willing to spend a few years waiting for it.”
"So, you are very confident in Space. Can you tell me where your confidence comes from? What are the advantages of Space?"
Yu Dong said with a smile, "This is a long story. Today is the premiere of "Golden Dreams". I hope you will ask more questions related to the movie."
Seeing that Yu Dong did not answer, the reporters did not ask further questions, but they did not hear Yu Dong ask questions related to "Golden Dreamland".
"YU, Deep Space has acquired BenQ Dentsu, and now there are rumors that BenQ Dentsu is planning to create its own mobile phone brand. In this way, the relationship between brands such as BenQ Dentsu and Motorola, as well as Deep Space and Motorola, will change.
What kind of changes have there been? As we all know, you and Motorola have always cooperated closely. Under this situation, will Deep Space and Motorola change from friends to enemies?"
Yu Dong shook his head and smiled: "You should ask Jimmy about this kind of question. I may not know as much as you do about business matters. For example, when BenQ Dentsu wants to make a mobile phone brand, I also learn from your mouth.
You know, no one has told me this news before."
The reporters all nodded, they were still willing to believe what Yu Dong said.
At this time, another reporter turned his attention to Cheng Yanqiu next to him, "Cheng, we all know that you are the person in charge of the soundtrack of "The Martian", and you have also participated in the soundtrack of "The Pianist on the Sea". We have all heard it.
Your song "Jinghong". Did you participate in the soundtrack work in "Golden Dreamland"?"
Cheng Yanqiu smiled and nodded, "I have participated in a little work, but not too much. The soundtrack of "Golden Dreams" is mainly based on the "Golden Dreams" suite, so I don't have much work to do."
"Excuse me, when can we see "The Martian"? It was previously rumored that it would be available in August, but now it is mid-July, but it has not been decided yet."
Cheng Yanqiu glanced at Yu Dong, and then said, ""The Martian" will definitely be available to everyone this year. Please wait patiently for a while. Before that, you can watch other movies from Deep Space Company, such as
The upcoming "Golden Dream"."
"Excuse me, apart from "The Martian", are there any other works that you have participated in the production of recently that you can see?"
Before Cheng Yanqiu could speak, Yu Dong next to him smiled and said, "Yes, but it's not a movie, but a pop song."
"Pop song?"
All the reporters were stunned for a moment. Although Cheng Yanqiu had indeed sang "Rooftop" on stage before, and the song was very nice, the reporters did not expect Cheng Yanqiu to record a pop song.
Cheng Yanqiu majored in piano and studied under the piano master Liu Shikun. She followed a classical path, and I had never heard of her composing pop music.
Looking at the confused expressions on the reporters' faces, Cheng Yanqiu rolled his eyes at Yu Dong, and then said with a smile, "He is right. I did record a pop song. It is a Chinese song, but the composition is not
Me, but jay chou."
As soon as they heard Jay Chou, everyone was suddenly stunned.
Jay Chou is currently gaining momentum in American music festivals. General foreign language singers may be able to gain an audience in the United States, but they are basically niche singers.
Never before has Jay achieved a place in the American pop music scene with his Chinese-language album.
Some people have analyzed that the reason why Jay's Chinese album is accepted by everyone is not only the album itself is excellent, but also has something to do with the craze of Chinese culture in recent years.
Now in the United States, there are many more Americans who are interested in Chinese culture and learning Chinese than a few years ago. From the craze for Chinese science fiction at the beginning, to the craze for Chinese classical poetry in the past two years, to the current craze for Chinese pop songs,
The environment changes step by step.
If Jay had appeared ten years ago, it would have been basically impossible for his songs to achieve the current results in the United States.
And everyone knows that Jay was discovered by Cheng Yanqiu.
There are many versions of the story about Jay Chou's excavation on the Internet, one of which is the most widely circulated.
In this version, Cheng Yanqiu and Yu Dong attended an event in Baodao, and went to a restaurant for dinner. There was a piano in the restaurant, and the boss also hired a pianist to play piano music for the guests during the meal.
On that day, the pianist who was stationed at the store did not come because he was ill. When the boss was anxious, the young man who was responsible for delivering boxed lunches in the store volunteered and offered to take over the pianist's shift and talk at the restaurant for lunch.
The boss looked at the young man suspiciously. Thinking that the young man was usually taciturn and not a big talker, he nodded in agreement.
In fact, the boss's idea is very simple, that is, let the young man go up and give it a try. Once he finds something wrong, he will ask the young man to come down.
If the music played by the young man is acceptable, let the young man deal with it all day and then find another pianist in the afternoon.
The boss thought that even if the young man really knew how to play the piano, he was probably just a hobbyist and his level was average.
But what the boss didn't expect was that as soon as the young man sat down in front of the piano, his whole demeanor changed and he became very confident.
Immediately afterwards, the young man finished talking about the third song of Liszt's "Dream of Love" very smoothly.
Although the boss didn't know much about music, he knew that the young man was good at it, so he felt relieved and handed the piano to the young man.
And while the young man was playing the third song of "Dream of Love", Cheng Yanqiu had been paying attention to him.
The third song of "Dream of Love" is a very popular song that can be heard in many restaurants. The difficulty of playing this song is not too high, and it is not difficult to complete it.
However, the same piece of music can be performed very differently by different people.
Cheng Yanqiu was very surprised when he heard the young man's performance. This young man's piano skills were very high and there was no way he could be an ordinary resident pianist.
Because Cheng Yanqiu heard about the young man's talent, he became curious about the young man. After dinner, he took Yu Dong to find the young man, but the boss told them that the young man who played the piano just now was just a delivery boy in their store, and today he was just a food delivery boy.
I temporarily replaced the pianist on stage. I was nervous about delivering food at the moment, so I went to deliver food again.
Cheng Yanqiu was very surprised when she heard what the boss said. She didn't understand why a young man who played the piano so well wanted to work as a food delivery boy in a restaurant.
Of course, the young man "can run away but a monk cannot run away from the temple." The couple obtained the young man's contact information from the boss and contacted him that night.
The next day, Cheng Yanqiu met with the young man Yu Dongyue. They found that this young man not only played the piano very well, but also could write pop songs.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! With a wave of their hands, the couple signed the young man to their company to explore his musical talent, and this young man is called Jay Chou.
This story is of course false. Cheng Yanqiu met Jay Chou when he followed Yu Dong to Alpha, not in any restaurant at all.
However, this story is not entirely false. Cheng Yanqiu did develop a love for Jay Chou's talent after hearing him play the piano, and Jay Chou did play piano in a restaurant before and worked as a food delivery boy.
All the elements in the story are true, but when put together they make a false story.
This story was made up by a reporter from an entertainment newspaper based on his own conjecture after listening to gossip. However, neither the Deep Space Company nor several parties involved have come out to deny the authenticity of this matter. Gradually, this story
The version spread.
The reason why this version can be spread is because the audience really likes to watch this kind of story.
No matter what, people all know that Cheng Yanqiu is Jay Chou's boss and has shown him kindness.
In this case, it is reasonable for Jay Chou to write a song for his Bole.
Because of Cheng Yanqiu's special status, reporters were very interested in her song and asked questions related to it.
"What kind of song is it?"
"When will I meet the audience?"
"Are there any other songs."
"There will be an English version."
