Yu Dong was in a good mood when he met Guo Fan.
For a long time, Yu Dong has been consciously cultivating domestic commercial film directors.
The original outstanding directors, such as Zhang Yimou, were originally good at making literary films, but under the guidance of Yu Dong, they also began to enter the field of commercial films, and Zhang Yimou's performance was very good.
In addition to the original well-known directors, Yu Dong also intends to train some new directors, such as Lu Xi, who graduated from Jinyi.
Lu Xi had filmed many works when she was in school, including the short film "Bring Her Eyes" that Guo Fan was obsessed with. Later, she filmed "That Mountain That Man That Dog" and became famous in the industry.
In the meantime, he shot a lot of short films and commercials to practice his skills, and then went to work as an assistant director on the crew of "The Martian" and completed the filming of "The Martian" with Spielberg.
Lu Xi's path as a director was made step by step, and he was very solid. Moreover, he was a versatile person and could handle movies of all themes.
Once Lu Xi succeeds in leveling up, Yu Dong will prepare for him to enter Hollywood and start his own career.
It is not easy to cultivate a Lu Xi, and a lot of resources are required. However, if there is a young man like Guo Fan who later proves his talent, then the training will have more goals and will be much simpler.
Guo Fan has potential, and with a little guidance from Yu Dong, he can come out, even better than in his previous life.
…
At the entrance of the Science Fiction Theme Pavilion, Nanaya Mitarai looked through the glass at the bustling scene inside the venue, feeling like a pilgrim in her heart.
After hearing on the Internet that there would be a science fiction-themed event in Jinling in August, Nanaya Mitarai made up her mind to go to Jinling and see the Deep Space Park live.
The atmosphere at the scene was more lively than he expected. Some people on the Internet said that the deep space park was very big. Mitarai Nanaya thought that the netizens were exaggerating. After watching the scene, he found that what the netizens said was quite conservative.
Each theme pavilion here is comparable to a modern science and technology museum, and there are about a dozen venues of this size in the park.
Mitarashi Nanaya really wanted to enter the venue right now and join the other tourists, but he had to stay at the door because before coming to Jinling, he met an online friend.
The netizen met on the Deep Space Tribe, and his name was a real estate agent. The two got acquainted with each other because of science fiction, and they got along quite well. The other person told him that he was from Kyoto and was now studying abroad in China.
I heard that Mitarai Nanaya wanted to come to Jinling to play, and the real estate agent expressed her warm welcome. The two agreed to meet at the entrance of the science fiction theme museum today. In order to make it easier for them to recognize each other, they also agreed to keep a token. Mitarashi Nanaya would hold a copy of "
curse".
The cover of the neon version of "Curse" is blood red, which is very conspicuous and easy to recognize, so he proposed to use it as a token.
After staying in the sun for a long time, a young man about twenty years old finally came over with sweat on his face and said in Japanese: "Are you Mitarai?"
Mitarashi Nanaya looked at the other person with a surprised look on his face. What surprised him was not the other person's appearance, but the accent.
The real estate agent clearly said that he was from Kyoto, but his accent was nothing like it.
"Are you a house?" Mitarashi Nanaya asked.
The other party smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I am the real estate agent. Have you been waiting for a long time?"
The accent of this sentence was even more off-putting. Not only did he not have a Kyoto accent, he sounded like a foreigner. However, Mitarai Nanaya was too embarrassed to ask, so she could only say, "I just arrived, too."
how long."
The real estate agent scratched his head and said, "Haha, that's good. Let's go in. I've been to the Deep Space Park twice and am familiar with it. I'll show you around."
"Okay, please."
Mitarashi Nanaya nodded. Although the real estate agent's accent made him feel a little strange, seeing the real estate agent's familiarity made him feel quite at ease.
In fact, the real estate agent was more familiar with the Deep Space Park than he said. After entering the science fiction theme museum, the real estate agent began to introduce the layout of the venue and information about each stall to Nanaya Mitarai.
"There are some stalls here that I just came to today, and I'm not very familiar with them, but you don't have to worry about it. After all, there are too many stalls here, and it's impossible to figure them all out. We only need to figure out a few.
For example, the Cucumber Garden Science Fiction Association, and the YU Umbrella Association, I remember you are also a member of the YU Umbrella Association, right?"
Mitarai Nanaya nodded and said, "Well, I am an online member of the YU Umbrella Association."
In principle, the YU Umbrella Association currently only recruits members in North America, but there are also science fiction fans from other countries who want to join the association, so the association has launched a special membership, that is, online membership.
Network members actually only have one name, which proves that you are a member of the YU Umbrella Association, but the benefits of the association basically have nothing to do with network members. Network members also have obligations. For example, if the association has any activities on the network, network members will
You must actively participate, and sometimes there are even strict rules.
For example, when the official tribe of Deep Space released the release news of the new book "WALL-E", the association stipulated that every network member must forward and comment on this news.
Although there is no supervision, most network members consciously abide by these rules.
The real estate agent smiled and said, "I will take you to the YU Umbrella Association in a while. Their booth is very large. The two vice presidents who led the team this time are also familiar with me."
Mitarai Nanaya said in surprise, "Do you also know the vice president of the YU Umbrella Association?"
"Haha, we have chatted many times on the Internet."
Mitarai Nanaya couldn't help but sigh, "Fang, your communication skills are really strong. By the way, you said you studied abroad at Jinling University, right? So you are familiar with the deep space park?"
The real estate agent smiled and nodded, "I have been in Jinling for a long time. I am not only familiar with the Deep Space Park, but also with other places in Jinling. Don't be in a hurry when you come here this time. I will take you to visit other places.
."
"I'm really sorry to trouble you."
"No trouble."
The two of them were walking and chatting. Mitarai Nanaya suddenly saw two cosplayers cosplaying Saint Seiya, and said with a strange expression, "Isn't it a science fiction themed event? Why are there still cosplayers cosplaying Saint Seiya?"
The real estate agent shrugged, "Anyway, the organizers have no restrictions. They can pretend to be whatever they want."
Mitarai Nanaya shook her head and sighed, "House, this kind of behavior is very inappropriate. It will make people disgusted with the Saint Seiya. We Neon should have a lot of people coming to this event, right?"
"Well, there are quite a few, but don't worry, this kind of situation is rare..."
The housing agent was about to continue talking when suddenly a staff member wearing a work badge greeted the housing agent, "Hi, Xiaotao, are you here?"
"Brother Hongfei, bring a friend over to hang out. It's his first time here."
Ren Hongfei glanced at Mitarashi Qiye and nodded, "Then you can have fun with your friends, and I won't accompany you. If you need anything, please feel free to ask."
"Okay, Brother Hongfei."
After Ren Hongfei left, Mitarashi Qiye looked at the housing agent and said, "House, is that person just now a staff member of Deep Space Company? I think the work permit hanging in front of him is."
Although Mitarashi Nanaya does not understand Chinese, he knows the Chinese characters for "work permit".
He found the housing agent more and more strange. The housing agent seemed to be too familiar with the Deep Space Park, not only familiar with the environment here, but also familiar with the people here.
The real estate agent smiled and said, "I come here often, so I know the staff here. It's okay. If you come here often, you can get familiar with them."
"You seem to be fluent in Chinese."
"Absolutely, do you understand?"
"I don't understand, but I feel very fluent. I feel like you are more natural when you speak Chinese than when you speak Neon. In addition, although it is very rude, I have to say that your Neon accent is a bit strong.
."
The real estate agent looked at Mitarashi Nanaya with a smile, "I didn't expect that you still have such doubts. I thought that as soon as you saw me, you already knew that I was Chinese, so you didn't tell me on purpose."
"..."
"Have you ever seen a neon person called a real estate agent?"
Mitarai Nanaya scratched her head, "Is the real estate agency weird?"
From Mitarai Nanaya's point of view, the name "housing agent" is perfectly normal. There are many people in Neon who are called agents. As for surnames, there are hundreds of thousands of surnames in Neon. It is not strange at all to have the surname house, and Mitarashi Nanaya's house is nearby.
There is a family named House.
"Uh, so you didn't have any doubts about the name 'my grandson Chen Tao' before?"
Mitarashi Nanaya's eyes widened, "Isn't 'my grandson Chen Tao' also a neon person? There really is someone named my grandson there. There is a tailor shop about a hundred meters away from my home, and the proprietress in the shop calls me grandson.
Meiren.”
Chen Tao twitched his lips and said, "The surnames in your place are really niche."
Isn't that right? "My grandson" and "Mitarai" are both niche surnames.
"Maybe it's because there are so many niche surnames, so it's not surprising when you see these niche surnames, and the surname 'my grandson' sounds quite noble."
"Of course I am Chinese." Chen Tao said with raised lips, "I didn't want to deceive people at first, because I thought that such a name would not deceive people, but I didn't expect that I did. My name is not a real estate agent, my name is Chen Tao."
Mitarashi Nanaya blinked: "So, you are 'my grandson Chen Tao'?"
After hearing Mitarai Nanaya's words, Chen Tao gritted his teeth. He was a little unsure whether Mitarai Nanaya was really innocent or was pretending on purpose.
"My name is Chen Tao. There is no one named my grandson in China."
"Is that so?"
"Of course." Chen Tao smiled, patted Mitarashi Nanaya's shoulder and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to see my territory."
"Your territory?"
"That's right, it's my territory. I'll take you to the Detective Mystery Theme Museum next door. I have several activity rooms there."
"But here at the Science Fiction Theme Museum..."
"Hey, these things can't escape. The science fiction theme event will be held for a week. There will be plenty of time to watch later. Don't you really like Liu Cixin and Yu Dong? I will take you to meet them later and talk to them."
"Really?" Mitarashi Nanaya looked in disbelief.
"Of course it's true. I have a very good relationship with them."
"Why do you have such a good relationship with them?"
"You'll know later. I'll take you to my territory first."
…
The Detective Mystery Theme Pavilion in the Deep Space Park is located at the back, far away from the main building. Moreover, this venue is newly opened and there are relatively few things inside, so not many tourists come here.
When entering the building, Mitarai Nanaya was a little disappointed to see the empty lobby on the first floor, but after going to the third floor, everything changed.
There were four rooms on the third floor that were very well decorated and equipped with various equipment and props. When they arrived, someone was playing "Script Killing" in one of the rooms.
Script Killing is a game in which players play roles, search for clues, discuss reasoning, and other methods to solve crimes under a set story background. This type of game has been around for decades and is nothing new.
However, before Chen Tao and others, not many people in China were exposed to this game, let alone organized players to play the game. And even abroad, the scripts of this type of game are very simple, and the player's game experience usually relies on the player's improvisation.
.
And the people in this room are not only playing games at this time, but also trying out scripts.
Yuhua Mystery Club currently focuses on two games, one is Werewolf Killing and the other is Script Killing.
Compared with Werewolf, script killing is more dependent on scripts and needs to release new scripts regularly. However, Chen Tao and the others do not pursue quantity. They hope to polish high-quality scripts through continuous experiments.
In Chen Tao's view, as long as the script is polished and every detail is considered, it can create a sense of reality and avoid the problem of poor experience for rookies.
The popular "murder mysteries" in Europe and the United States today rely too much on players' improvisation, so when the player level is relatively low, the game experience will be poor. Not only the rookie players have a poor experience, but the experience of other players will not be good either.
Chen Tao planned and polished several scripts, and Yuhua Mystery Agency took these scripts to Europe and the United States to open board game stores.
Chen Tao and his brother-in-law Yu Dong also discussed this matter, and Yu Dong expressed support for it.
Yu Dong didn't give much advice on opening a store, but he suggested that their mystery agency could find celebrities to make trial videos to advertise their scripts.
Or, simply organize a variety show in Europe and the United States, and find some celebrities to come and play with their scripts. As long as the ratings of the show are acceptable, it will definitely boost the business of board game stores.
In addition, Yu Dong suggested that they should not hide it, but directly publish the script into a book for sale. Because this thing cannot be hidden, players will know it after playing it a few times, so it is better to release it openly.
