The development of the Internet has a great impact on the speed of news dissemination. The dinner party for the premiere of "Golden Dreams" has not even started here, but the news about the premiere ceremony on the Deep Space Tribe is already flying all over the sky.
Among the many news, one news quickly attracted the attention of netizens.
[YU is preparing to release a new song, and his wife Cheng Yanqiu will sing a duet with him!]
…
Because she knew that the premiere of "Golden Dreams" would be held today, Caitlin stayed in front of the computer after lunch to see any news related to the premiere.
When she suddenly saw this news, Caitlin couldn't help but rub her eyes. She thought she had seen it wrong.
"YU is going to release a new song?"
Isn’t this world too crazy? YU is releasing a new song!
As a "30-year old fan" of YU, Caitlin has naturally heard YU sing, but even as a "30-year old fan", Caitlin cannot say against her will that YU has talent in singing. She feels,
The song released by YU is even more absurd than Schwarzenegger becoming President of the United States - there are rumors that Schwarzenegger will run for governor of California.
This is a joke for thirty-year-old book fans, it comes from deep space.
Not long after the Deep Space website was built, someone was discussing "Essays on a Cucumber Garden" in the literary forum of the website. At that time, a netizen dismissed "Essays on a Cucumber Garden" as worthless and said that the people who wrote the essays had nothing to do.
Work hard, eat well, and do these things every day.
After hearing this, other netizens on the forum must have stopped working. If you have any different opinions, just raise them. You can't come up with a set of mindless output. Netizens caught that netizen and insisted on him saying one, two, three.
However, that netizen didn't talk about the content of the article at all, and just said that the essay was not good. Later, when he got desperate, he said, "I have been a fan of Yu Dong for 30 years. Which of you has the right to speak compared to me?"
This statement directly confused many netizens, because Yu Dong was not even thirty years old at that time. In other words, Yu Dong's parents had not known Yu Dong as long as this netizen had known Yu Dong.
The co-author is not a literary lover at all, he is just a pretender who accidentally went too far.
Since then, the meme "30-year-old book lover" has been circulating on the Internet.
At first, this meme was used by netizens to ridicule those who brag. Later, it gradually evolved, and some real readers would also make fun of themselves as thirty-year-old book fans.
Later, Deep Space Tribe was opened in the United States, and this meme was also spread here.
Caitlin read the content of the news carefully, and then showed a surprised expression. It turned out that it was not YU who released a new song, but his wife Cheng.
Compared with YU releasing a new song, his wife Cheng releasing a new song is not so surprising. After all, Cheng is originally a musician. Her previous composition "Jinghong" was very popular. This song was not only popular in "The Pianist on the Sea"
》 appeared in it, and also appeared in several other movies.
In some movies, when the male and female protagonists meet for the first time, they will choose to use the song "Jinghong".
In addition, the singer JAY that Caitlin likes very much was also discovered by Cheng, so Caitlin is not surprised at all that Cheng is releasing a new song. As for YU, I am afraid that she only sang a few lines in this song, but it was exaggerated by the media.
It was written so that he could release the song.
Looking further down, Caitlin's eyes widened again. It turned out that this song was actually composed by Jay.
It has been more than half a year since the release of Jay Chou's last album. Caitlin has listened to the songs in "Fantasy" countless times, and she is also looking forward to hearing new songs soon.
Although Jay doesn't sing it himself, it's okay if he wrote the song.
In addition, Jay was discovered by Cheng himself, so the songs he wrote for Cheng would definitely be good, and Cheng’s singing skills are obvious to all, so Caitlin is very much looking forward to this new song.
Of course, in addition to looking forward to Cheng's wonderful performance, Caitlin is also curious about how many lines YU will sing in the new song.
Could it be that like "Rooftop", the new song is a male and female duet, with YU having half of the scene?
Caitlin shook her head, she thought this was unlikely.
After reading the news, Caitlin found Nick's profile picture and clicked on it.
Nick is a front-line tribal pig in the Deep Space Tribe. He usually pays more attention to YU and can always get first-hand news, so Caitlin often goes to his homepage to see if there is any new news about YU.
When Caitlin arrived, she found that Nick had also seen the news that YU was going to release a new song, and Nick also posted a blog post about it.
[Guess how many words YU will sing in the new song, and you will win a prize.]
There are already a lot of comments below. Most netizens’ guesses are between one and ten words. Most people don’t think Yu Dong can have many sentences in this song.
After visiting Nick’s homepage, Caitlin went to Jay Chou’s homepage.
Although Jay's account rarely posts to the blog, he usually only posts once every month or two, and it is all work information, such as where to hold concerts, where to hold autograph sessions, etc., and there is no content related to personal life.
.
But even so, his account still has a lot of attention. After the news that Cheng Yanqiu was going to release a new song, Jay Chou's account became lively.
Under his latest blog, there were a lot of comments, all asking about the new song and how many lyrics Yu Dong would sing in the new song.
Although everyone's focus is a little biased, the popularity of the premiere of "Golden Dreams" has increased a lot.
…
The day after the premiere, Jimmy called Yu Dong early in the morning.
"Save some time in the evening and I'll treat you and your wife to a meal."
Yu Dong was very surprised and said, "You invite us to dinner? What the hell are you doing?"
"Besides us, there is someone else."
After hearing what Jimmy said, Yu Dong immediately understood that Jimmy should be inviting him to dinner with his girlfriend Britney Spears that night.
"Of course I'd like to treat you to dinner, but I made an appointment with Mr. and Mrs. Williams to go to their company in the afternoon. Even if you don't have dinner with them, I'm afraid it will be a little late."
After learning that Yu Dong was coming to the United States, the Williamses warmly invited him to visit the company.
It would be okay if Yu Dong was only in New York. Now that he is in Los Angeles, he naturally has to go there.
Jimmy also knew about Yu Dong's afternoon schedule. He smiled and said, "This is not easy. If you go there now, you can free up your afternoon time. And if you go there in advance, you can also make a surprise visit and see the company."
Are your employees slacking off? Don’t forget, you are the boss.”
Yu Dong thought for a while and said, "I'd better call Williams and talk about it."
Jimmy couldn't help but sigh, "You are such a good boss."
After hanging up Jimmy's phone, Yu Dong called Ken Williams again, but no one answered the phone.
Yu Dong thought for a while and decided to go directly. Anyway, there was nothing to do at the company. A stroll inside would be enough to give Williams and the others some face.
After someone arranged a car, Yu Dong and Cheng Yanqiu rushed towards Xueleshan Company.
The office location in Xuele Mountain is relatively remote, not because the company has no money to put its office in a prosperous place, but Ken Williams and the others like this "paradise" feeling.
The car drove for more than an hour before finally arriving at the park where Xuele Mountain is located.
It's a campus, but it's not that big. There are only a few buildings in total, and it seems like many offices in these buildings are empty.
No way, it's too far from the city center.
Yu Dong and others came in two cars, but the security guard just took one look and let them in.
After the couple arrived at Xueleshan's office, they were both a little sad.
Xueleshan originally had three floors, but now the company's employees can't even fill one floor.
Standing at the door of the second floor, the office seemed empty. There was no one even at the front desk. There was only one person working in the lobby. He was very serious at the moment. He might have noticed someone coming in, but he didn't turn his head to look here.
.
Yu Dong slowly walked behind the employee. After seeing the person's computer screen clearly, Yu Dong and Cheng Yanqiu couldn't help but twitch their lips. It turned out that the employee was so serious that he was looking at it again and again.
But, if you think about it carefully, it’s not strange to play games in a game company. Maybe this is their job.
This is a new mode in "Lianliankan" called "Infinite Challenge" mode. In this mode, tiles are constantly generated. The competition is eyesight and hand speed. Players need to fill the entire screen with tiles.
Connect more identical tiles as quickly as possible before.
This mode is divided into five difficulty levels based on the length of the interval between tile generation.
Moreover, in the same difficulty level, the further you go, the time interval between block generation will gradually shorten, and the rhythm will become faster and faster.
This kind of gameplay is just like Tetris. The purpose of the game is not to die. As long as you don't die, the higher the score, the more powerful you will be.
This mode just came out last month, and it has been very popular among players as soon as it came out. However, the production difficulty of this mode is much higher than that of the previous modes, because the generated tiles must be reasonable, otherwise it will be easy for players to
The gaming experience deteriorates.
It can be seen that the young man in front of him is playing with a high degree of difficulty, and the tiles are generated very quickly. Yu Dong tries to find and figure out the pictures, but every time he is one step slower than this young man.
After watching it for a while, Yu Dong couldn't help but sigh. If he was sitting in front of the computer and playing, he would have died a long time ago.
Cheng Yanqiu's expression was similar. She had played this game many times, but rarely played the racing mode. After all, in her opinion, this game was just for killing time. If she played the limited-time mode, it would only put more pressure on herself.
They watched behind the young man for a long time. The tiles were generated faster and faster. At first, the young man could barely cope with it. In the end, he couldn't cope with it either. Because he couldn't find the same picture, all the tiles would be on the page.
When it's full, the game is over.
"GAME OVER!"
Looking at the "Game Over" characters on the screen, the young man leaned back and stretched.
Only then did he notice two people behind him, "Look for..."
Halfway through his words, Pique was stunned because he turned around and saw the faces of the two people.
Although Pique is somewhat face-blind when it comes to Asians, he has seen these two faces in front of him too many times, especially this man's face, which he can see every once in a while.
"You are...YU, and Cheng."
Yu Dong was not surprised to be recognized, and said with a smile, "You play the game very well. I was watching from behind for a while, and your reaction was very fast. I couldn't keep up at all."
Peak Games said sheepishly, "My Infinite Challenge score is only seventh in our company."
Cheng Yanqiu smiled and encouraged, "Seventh is good, but you don't necessarily have to be first in everything."
"There are only eight people in our company currently playing this model..."
"..."
Cheng Yanqiu also realized that there were not many employees in the entire company in Xueleshan.
Yu Dong coughed lightly and asked, "Are you the only one who usually works in this hall?"
Pique shook his head and said, "No, there are five people in the hall, but the other four people have been called to the meeting at this moment, and they are now in the conference room inside."
"Why didn't you go?"
"The content of today's meeting has nothing to do with me. I'm from the testing department."
Yu Dong raised his eyebrows and said, "You are the only one in your testing department now?"
Pique nodded, "Well, I'm the only one."
Yu Dong frowned and thought for a while, this could make sense. After all, Xueleshan basically does not produce games now, but mainly publishes games. When Vivendi took control, many people were laid off, and the testing department must have been passive.
Big knife.
Originally, when the company still had a game production business, the testing department needed to conduct testing after the game was produced, but now the company has almost no game production business, and the testing department seems to be of little use.
"Do you want me to help you call Ken out?" Pique asked.
Yu Dong looked around, then shook his head and said, "Since they are in a meeting, don't disturb them. I came here today, there is nothing big, I just want to take a look in the company, are you... Oh, sorry,
I don’t know what to call you yet.”
"Just call me Pique."
"Well, Pique, do you have time now to take us around the company?"
Pique did not hesitate, nodded and smiled, "Of course, but if you want to enter Ken's office, there is nothing I can do."
Yu Dong waved his hand and said, "You don't have to go to anyone's office. You can just take us around wherever we can. In addition, please tell me about the company. I thought Mr. Williams would let the company go after he comes back."
There are more people.”
"We have reduced the game production business and we no longer need so many people. But after we completely take over the space and there are more games in the space, the company will definitely need to increase manpower." Speaking of this, Pique laughed.
He smiled and said, "But I think that I am probably enough for this department."
Chapter completed!
