The weather at this year's annual meeting was not as good as in previous years. It has been overcast since the morning. When we started walking the red carpet in the afternoon, the wind started to get stronger again.
Precisely because the wind got stronger, everyone walked the red carpet faster. Although there were more guests this year than last year, the time for walking the red carpet did not increase, and it was even shorter than last year.
At the end of the red carpet process, tiny snowflakes began to fly in the sky. It was at this time that Yu Dong and Jimmy finally appeared.
Different from previous years, this year Yu Dong walked the red carpet with Jimmy. After all the guests had walked on the red carpet, the two of them walked on the red carpet side by side.
When walking with other people, I didn't feel how long the red carpet was, but when they were the only two on the red carpet, it became particularly empty. The key was that it was windy and snowing, and there were still
There was no one to cover him, and Yu Dong didn't want to stay on the red carpet for too long.
What he wanted most now was to run into the building quickly, but in order to take care of the media reporters who came to the scene and the audience watching the live broadcast in front of the TV, Yu Dong still walked patiently on the red carpet step by step.
While Yu Dong smiled at the cameras around him, he said to Jimmy next to him, "Next year I'd better walk among other people, so that the final walk on the red carpet will be a bit too deserted."
Jimmy waved to the crowd around him, "That won't work. You have to leave last, so that you can control the situation. No matter how many stars there are in Deep Space, you have to be the brightest and most dazzling one."
Yu Dong said with a smile, "Walking on the red carpet will make the stars shine brighter?"
"Walking on the red carpet may not make the stars shine brighter, but it will let everyone know that the brightest star in the deep sky can only be you."
"Be careful with your words and don't say such disgusting things. Maybe tomorrow a lip reader will interpret what we say and something will happen between us."
"Then I don't care, but if I want to interpret it, I can only interpret yours. Didn't you notice that my lips didn't move?"
Yu Dong turned his head and looked at Jimmy's mouth. The latter's lips did not move, but he still made a sound, "Look, right?"
Yu Dong was startled, "When did you learn this skill?"
Jimmy smiled and said, "You can't be a gangster unless you have some special skills."
Yu Dong gave him a thumbs up, "Awesome."
The reporters who were filming them were all very surprised. What was Yu Dong doing? Who was he talking to, mumbling to himself, and Jimmy's lips didn't move.
After walking for several minutes, the two finally reached the steps. After turning around and waving, they quickened their pace and walked into the building.
Seeing them leaving, the reporters outside also began to pack their equipment.
It wasn't just Yu Dong who couldn't stand it. The reporters couldn't stand it either. They squatted in the cold wind for several hours, and some of their faces were numb from the cold wind.
…
"The red carpet is over?"
In an apartment in London, Benedict Cumberbatch asked his friend Charlie Wood after coming out of the toilet.
Charlie Wood nodded, "Well, the red carpet is over. You perfectly missed YU and Jimmy's red carpet show."
Benedict shrugged his shoulders, pointed to his belly and said, "I also want to see YU and Jimmy, but my belly seems to have different opinions."
Charlie Wood said with a smile, "Your belly not only doesn't want you to see YU and Jimmy, but it also doesn't want you to go to Jinling. If you weren't sick, we might also appear on the red carpet."
"This is not possible." Benedict shook his head and said, "It is impossible for a newcomer like me who has just signed a contract to be arranged to walk on the red carpet, and a friend of a newcomer like you who has just signed a contract not long ago will be arranged to walk on the red carpet.
, let alone walk on the red carpet."
Charlie Wood couldn't help complaining, "Even if we don't walk on the red carpet, we can at least watch the red carpet live instead of sighing in front of a broken TV in this small apartment room. If it weren't for taking care of you, I would really
I want to go alone."
Last year, Benedict graduated from the London Academy of Music and Drama. He thought that after graduation, the sea would be vast and the sky would be high for birds to fly, but the reality poured cold water on him.
For half a year, he didn't receive any role. In order to make ends meet and avoid starving to death, he had no choice but to work in a restaurant.
At the beginning of this year, when Benedict almost had doubts about his acting dream, Deep Space Company took the initiative to contact him and signed an agent contract with him.
When he received a call from Deep Space Company, Benedict's first reaction was to think that the other party was a liar, because he could not think of any reason why someone from Deep Space Company would take the initiative to sign a contract with a rookie like him who had never even gotten a role.
.
His appearance is not ugly, but he is definitely not outstanding. He thinks his acting skills are good, but he has no chance to prove it.
Faced with this pie-in-the-sky situation, Benedict kept a clear head and used many methods to finally confirm the identity of the other party.
A few days after signing the contract with Deep Space, he received a role, and this role belonged to Deep Space. He had to play a madman who wanted to blow up a train in "Source Code".
This character doesn't have many roles, but for a pure newcomer like Benedict, this is definitely a very high starting point. He skipped the walk-on role and became a supporting role with some roles.
Although he didn't have many roles, he was on the crew during the filming of "Source Code". On the one hand, he hoped to learn more in the crew, and on the other hand, the crew was better at taking care of food and drink than he was.
Save money living outside.
In early December, Benedict's agent suddenly told him that the company invited him to attend the annual deep space conference in Jinling.
When he learned the news, Benedict was very surprised. He asked his manager if a newcomer like himself was also eligible to participate in the annual meeting, and his manager told him that as long as he was an artist signed by Deep Space Company, he was eligible to participate in the annual meeting.
Yes, even if some people cannot enter the hall to participate in the meeting, they can still be invited to visit the deep space park.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The travel expenses to Jinling, as well as all food and accommodation expenses during the period, are provided by Deep Space Company, and everyone can bring a family member.
Originally, Benedict didn't want to bring his family, after all, he didn't have a girlfriend, but after Charlie Wood heard about this, he pestered him to go with him. Benedict was so pestered that he had no choice but to agree to Charlie.
Wood went with him.
Both of them had purchased their air tickets, but Benedict suddenly caught a bad cold more than a week ago. He has not fully recovered from it for more than a week, and now the sequelae are diarrhea every day.
Benedict glanced at the blanket lying on the sofa and said with a smile, "When I play a big drama this year, I will take you with me at the end of the year."
Charlie Wood asked with a smile, "What movies are you going to film this year? Last year you just filmed a movie, and it was a supporting role, and there has been no news since then, right? Your agent told you, what movies are you going to make in the near future?"
Do you want to shoot?"
"Sandy just told me that he would let me appear in at least one movie this year."
"Will he be the protagonist this time?"
"No, he told me clearly that he will not be the protagonist, but there will definitely be more scenes this time than in "Source Code". I don't have particularly high requirements for these, as long as the salary can be enough for me to live, and then I can work with the crew
Just study, I learned a lot from the director Mr. Christopher on the set of "Source Code" last time."
"I know, you are talking about Nolan Christopher. You said that he will definitely become a famous director in the future. I have heard you say it many times, but I have to admit that his "Memento" is quite good.
."
Benedict smiled, then wrapped the blanket tighter around him, staring at the TV screen.
As a client, he is more regretful than Charlie Wood.
For Charlie Wood, this trip to Jinling is just a trip, but for him, it is indeed a very important thing for his career development. There he can meet many good actors, good directors and a lot of people.
Excellent producer.
When he was most seriously ill, he even thought about dragging his illness to China. Even if he died, he would die there.
Until now, he still hasn't figured out why Deep Space Company took the initiative to contact him.
He asked his agent Sandy about this, but Sandy couldn't answer him. Sandy only knew that it was a notice issued by the company. As for why the company issued this notice, Sandy had no idea at all.
Benedict thought about it and concluded that the most recent contact he had with Deep Space Company was probably when Yu Dong came to the UK to hold a book signing. He and Charlie Wood had a few words with YU.
However, they only chatted briefly and did not talk too deeply. It is impossible that YU suddenly sent someone to find him after several years just because of those few words.
While Benedict was in a daze, Charlie Wood next to him pointed at the TV and said, "The meeting has begun."
Benedict nodded and turned his attention to the TV.
The opening program of the annual meeting is very regular. Most of them are songs and a dance. The performers are all artists of Deep Space Company, both domestic and foreign, such as the company's popular Jay Chou, Maria...
Kelly, Shakira, Younes Bo, and Sun Yanzi all performed on stage.
After the opening program ended, as usual, Jimmy came on stage to report some development data of the Deep Space Company in 2000.
The data that Jimmy reports to the public is actually nothing special. Basically, it can be found online. Some data that cannot be found, Jimmy will not disclose to the outside world. Not to mention that there are such data as Cat Doctor and Ticket House.com.
Regarding the business of officially disclosing the relationship, although everyone knows that these two companies are related to the Deep Space Company, Jimmy will not talk about it publicly.
Moreover, Jimmy reported only relatively good-looking data, and did not report some not-so-good-looking data.
Deep Space Group is very profitable, but not all of their businesses are profitable. For example, their Deep Space Literature Network has been developing well in recent years, but it has always been at a loss.
In this case, it is of course impossible for Jimmy to report the profitability of Deep Space Literature Network. Instead, he will report the number of members, daily active users, and growth in paid users of Deep Space Literature Network over the past year.
There is also the space platform. Although it has attracted a lot of members and increased a lot of revenue through "Plants vs. Zombies", it has not yet achieved profitability. Naturally, Jimmy will only report the growth data of the platform.
After Jimmy finishes reviewing the past, several guest representatives will come on stage to say a few words, say good things about Deep Space Company, and then express their best wishes for Deep Space Company.
After they finished speaking, it was finally Yu Dong's turn to take the stage.
Seeing Yu Dong take the stage, everyone cheered up.
The past of Deep Space is obvious to all, and the future of Deep Space is eagerly anticipated by everyone. Everyone wants to know whether Deep Space Company has any big plans in the next year.
The people present are inextricably linked to the Deep Space Company, and the actions of the Deep Space Company will also have a huge impact on them. It can be said that what Yu Dong said today will become a kind of weathervane, guiding many people to accept the news.
The direction for the next year.
Yu Dong also knew what everyone wanted to hear from him, so he didn't waste any more nonsense. After walking on stage, he said directly, "Let me talk about myself first. I will release at least three books next year. In addition to ""
In addition to the novels of the same name "Pumping Heart" and "Source Code", there is also a science fiction novel called "District 9". If there are no accidents, the two movies "Pumping Heart" and "Source Code" will also
See you all in 2001."
After he finished speaking, there was a small discussion below. Everyone had heard about the two books of the same name, "Pumping Heart" and "Source Code", so they were not particularly surprised. However,
This is the first time I heard about the new book "District 9".
However, some people who usually pay more attention to Yu Dong’s news have already remembered that when Yu Dong attended an ABC interview, he mentioned that he was preparing to write a science fiction novel at the time, and this novel was related to Expressionism.
At that time, this incident was widely reported by the media.
If other science fiction writers were to brazenly say that their novels were related to Expressionism, many people would be disdainful. But if the words came from Yu Dong's mouth, the meaning would be different.
Yu Dong is not only a science fiction writer, he is also a traditional litterateur and a scholarly writer. His research on literary theory is much deeper than that of ordinary writers.
Since he said that his new novel is related to expressionism, it is naturally correct and no one dares to question it.
After talking about the novel, Yu Dong took this opportunity to mention the Olympic Games again, "Many friends should know that I am the ambassador for Yanjing's Olympic bid, so in the new year, I will also try my best to promote Yanjing.
Chapter completed!
