Spielberg is one of the first celebrities to join the Deep Space Tribe, and he also attaches great importance to the marketing of his account, so he has many fans in the Deep Space Tribe.
In fact, even if Spielberg didn't mention it, Jimmy would ask him to help promote BenQ's new mobile phone.
This is a win-win situation for them. Spielberg can also announce to netizens that he has obtained the unreleased mobile phone in advance, which will naturally bring more fans to the account.
The two walked into the elevator chatting, and when they were about to close the elevator, Tom Hanks trotted over and said, "Wait a moment."
Yu Dong pressed the elevator door button. After Tom Hanks came in, he smiled and said, "You are too fast. Have you been in the interview area for a minute?"
Tom Hanks laughed and said, "For more than thirty seconds, walking with Leonardo has such an advantage. The reporters' attention is focused on him, and I left them without much effort to retain them. Reporters
They asked about some new movies, did you just reveal the news to them?"
Spielberg pointed at Yu Dong and said, "He revealed it."
"Reporters should still be asking Leonardo about the new movie, but some reporters actually asked if the movie we made is about homosexuality." Tom Hanks raised his forehead and expressed helplessness.
"That's what journalists are like."
The elevator reached the first floor, and the three of them walked side by side towards the cafeteria.
During the walk, Yu Dong asked Tom Hanks, "Are there any other movies and TV series to be filmed recently?"
Tom Hanks shook his head, "Except for "Cat and Mouse", I have no other announcements for the time being. I have been approached by many scripts, but I haven't found one that I'm satisfied with. I'm also waiting for excellent scripts to come to me."
Yu Dong smiled and said, "There is no need to rush to accept other scripts. After "Cat and Mouse Game" is over, I hope you can participate in another movie."
Tom Hanks was stunned. He didn't expect that Yu Dong would directly invite him.
Spielberg next to him asked with interest, "What movie is it? Is it your own work?"
Yu Dong shook his head, "It wasn't me, it was Jeff. He wrote a summary of the script for me. I thought it was very interesting, so I asked him to improve the script."
Tom Hanks blinked. He didn't expect that YU would invite him to participate before the script was even written. If anyone else had done this, he might think it was a bit unreliable, but now he is invited
But YU, let alone only the outline of the script, even if there was nothing, he had no reason to refuse.
"You mean Jeff Nathanson?" Spielberg asked.
Yu Dong smiled, "Who else could it be?"
Jeff Nathanson is the screenwriter of "Cat and Mouse". Some time ago, he and Spielberg met every day because of the script. They were still together before walking on the red carpet today, Tom Hanks and Leonardo DiCaprio
DeCap has also met with Jeff Nathanson.
"What does his script this time have to do with?" Spielberg asked again.
Yu Dong smiled slyly, "Want to know? If you want to know, you can agree to direct this movie."
Spielberg rolled his eyes, "I don't even know what the story is. How can you ask me to agree to direct it? I don't require to see the entire script, at least I need to see the outline of the script."
"That's okay. Wait until tomorrow morning. You guys can go to my office together and talk about this script. I have already arranged the schedule for you. After filming "Minority Report", I will film "Cat and Mouse Game". I will shoot this script after finishing "Cat and Mouse Game". Once this script is finished, you won't be able to stop, and I have other plans for you."
Spielberg scratched his head, "I feel like a hard worker, working non-stop just to make money for you, the factory owner."
Yu Dong sneered, "If you reduce your salary by 90%, I will admit that your words are reasonable. In fact, we are working for you. After all, in addition to the fixed salary, you also have box office Dividends, no matter whether the movie makes a profit or a loss, you can still make money."
Spielberg shrugged, "Making a movie is a technical job after all."
Yu Dongni glanced at him, and then said to Tom Hanks, "If you are willing to accept this movie, then after this movie is made, I will have another job for you to do."
"What work?"
"After this, my novel "The Da Vinci Code" will also be adapted and filmed, and I would like to invite you to play the leading role."
Tom Hanks was slightly startled. He suddenly remembered the Chinese proverb that Yu Yi taught him yesterday, that good fortune never comes alone and misfortune never comes alone. But what he experienced today seemed to overturn this proverb.
He quickly said, "Of course, I am willing to give it a try. It is my honor."
When the opportunity came to him, Tom Hanks did not allow it to slip away, so he agreed very simply. He even secretly decided in his heart that no matter what the script was that had not yet been written, even if it was a bit bad, he would take it. , just to be able to participate in "The Da Vinci Code" is worth it.
Yu Dong did not expect that Tom Hanks would agree to him so quickly. He reminded him, "Tom, the novel "The Da Vinci Code" has been opposed by some people. Are you aware of this?"
Tom Hanks nodded without hesitation, "Of course, I know very well."
He knew what Yu Dong meant when he said "the novel was opposed by some people." The novel "The Da Vinci Code" involves sensitive religious themes and has been strongly opposed by organizations such as the Catholic League since its publication.
If he participated in "The Da Vinci Code", he would definitely be affected.
In fact, when Yu Dong invited him to participate in "The Da Vinci Code" just now, he had already considered this issue in his mind, but he quickly made up his mind that he could not miss out on a good movie because of worries about these things.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Seeing him nodding, Yu Dong also nodded, "Well, I'm just asking about your wishes now. The script for the adaptation of this novel has not been released yet. The movie It's still early to film "Tom and Jerry", so you can finish filming "Tom and Jerry" first, and then we'll talk about other things. Of course, if you have already made a decision in your mind, you can also try to figure out more about the novel "The Da Vinci Code". Prepare for the next shoot.”
Tom Hanks smiled and nodded, "Okay, I understand."
Spielberg smiled next to him and said, "Do you like to arrange everyone clearly? Tom, don't listen to him. You should wait until the filming of "Cat and Mouse Game" is completed.
Otherwise, it is very likely to affect the filming of "Cat and Mouse Game"."
Tom Hanks said quickly, "Director, please don't worry, I will definitely weigh it up."
…
When Yu Dong and the others arrived in the cafeteria, there were already many people. As soon as they saw Yu Dong and the others come in, they all greeted them.
Yu Dong also said hello to them, and happened to see Yang Xiao and the others gathering with a group of science fiction writers, so he walked over with a smile.
"You're lucky enough to run away quickly."
When Yang Xiao and the others saw Yu Dong coming, they all smiled and waved to him. Yang Xiao said, "There are so many big names here, and the reporters are not very interested in us. They just ran away if they wanted. That is to say, Liu Cixin was stopped. Except for you,
In addition, his novels have been adapted into the most movies and TV shows, and his media attention is second only to yours."
Yu Dong smiled and shook his head, "It's not that reporters don't pay attention to you, it's that you don't give reporters a chance. Some reporters have complained to me before, saying that some of our Chinese science fiction writers have their eyes turned upward and don't treat them as media workers.
To answer the question, interviewing you would be even more difficult than going to heaven."
He Hongwei curled his lips and said, "No way, those reporters' interviewing skills are so bad, I don't even want to answer the questions they asked."
Yu Dong said with a smile: "Look, aren't you getting so arrogant?"
He Hongwei scratched his forehead, unable to refute, so he could only change the subject and said, "Brother Dong, when will your new book be released? I'm still waiting to see it."
"It's coming soon. I'm also waiting for news from the book editorial department. I've finished the book, and the follow-up work has nothing to do with me. I have no control over when it will be published."
Yu Dong is the boss, so of course he can decide when the novel will be released, but he will basically not interfere in such matters because it is a waste of time.
He Hongwei nodded and expressed his understanding. Yang Peng on the side smiled and said, "Actually, in addition to this new book, I am also looking forward to the novel of the same name "Source Code". Brother Dong, when will "Source Code" be scheduled?
Earlier than the new book, right?”
Yu Dong shook his head, "This is not necessarily true, because "Source Code" will be released together with the movie when it is released, and the movie should not be released until the end of the year. "District 9" probably will not wait until the end of the year."
When he heard that "Source Code" would not be released until the movie was released, Yang Peng said with some disappointment, "Can't it be released in advance? Let's cultivate some readers first and promote the movie."
"I didn't ask much about the strategy the company had set. They probably thought that publishing novels and movies together would be more effective in increasing sales. There were a lot of people in the company who were more professional than me in doing data and marketing, so I didn't think so.
Go and point fingers."
Yang Xiao nodded and agreed very much, "Professional things need to be done by professionals, and Yu Dong did it right. However, I still want to say something, when can I contribute another article to our magazine?
, even if you don’t have a long novel, you can just give it a short or medium-sized novel. The readers of "Science Fiction World" miss you very much."
Yu Dong smiled and responded, "I will definitely provide it if I have the opportunity."
The domestic science fiction market has been activated, and even without him, "Science Fiction World" has still been selling well in recent years.
Of course, although he has not published a novel in "Science Fiction World" for a long time, readers in every issue will send letters to the magazine strongly requesting that Yu Dong's novels be serialized.
Yu Dong's response was not a perfunctory response to Yang Xiao. He had indeed considered Yang Xiao's suggestion. If he had time to write a short story next time, he could indeed send it to "Science Fiction World".
But Yang Xiao himself didn't take it seriously. He knew that Yu Dong was busy right now. Not to mention their "Science Fiction World", even magazines such as "Harvest", "Zhongshan" and "People's Literature" wanted to invite Yu Dong to write an article.
The manuscripts are very difficult.
This morning, Yang Xiao met Li Xiaolin from "Harvest" in the hotel restaurant. Li Xiaolin complained to Yang Xiao that he and Yu Dong had invited several manuscripts but had not been invited. Yu Dong has been too busy in the past few years, so he published the long story.
There are many, but I don’t give them to use in magazines, and I don’t write short or medium stories. I just occasionally write a little "Essays on the Cucumber Garden", but this series has been monopolized by "Zhongshan".
Even "The Harvest" received this kind of treatment, so naturally Yang Xiao didn't dare to ask for anything extravagantly.
Yang Xiao did not go into depth on this issue, but instead said to Yang Peng and others, "Next year's Galaxy Awards will fully open the selection scope. By then, works by authors from other countries will also participate in the competition, and the pressure on you will increase."
After hearing this, all the science fiction writers were very relaxed. Yang Peng said with a smile, "I think it's good. It doesn't matter whether we win or not. It's a good thing to make the awards more international. Besides, don't we still have big names?"
Brother Liu and Brother Dong, how can they keep the grand prize away? Apart from them, Teacher Wang and Teacher Hu are still young, so we don’t have to rush to the front line yet.”
Yang Xiao rolled his eyes, "When Yu Dong was your age, he was already standing in the country... No, he should be the pinnacle of science fiction in the world."
He Hongwei stretched his head and said, "Sister Xiao, are you mistaken? Brother Dong is only three or four years older than the two of us. When he was as old as us, he was almost thirty, and at that time he was not doing much.
I’m writing a science fiction novel.”
After hearing this, Yang Xiao's expression froze. She had forgotten that Yu Dong and Yang Peng were not much different in age. She always felt that they were from two generations. Yu Dong was only thirty-two or thirteen years old this year, just past his thirties.
Not long after.
Yu Dong smiled and waved his hand, "What's the peak or not? Everyone is working hard to maintain the good situation now. The potential of science fiction does not stop here. This road will definitely lead to a better future. For three consecutive years, the college entrance examination has
The title is related to science fiction, which shows the popularity of science fiction in China and also shows the importance attached to science fiction by the educational community."
When the college entrance examination was mentioned, everyone smiled.
Starting in 1998, science fiction-related questions have appeared in the college entrance examination for three consecutive years.
In the 1998 college entrance examination, there were physics questions, and one mechanics question mentioned a novel in "Science Fiction World".
The college entrance examination in 1999 had a Chinese subject, and last year's Chinese essay question was "If Memory Can Be Transplanted."
The college entrance examination in 2000 was a biology question. The question took the human cloning mentioned in "The Second World" as an example, and tested the test points of cell proliferation and single-cell cloning.
A few days ago, some people predicted that next year's college entrance examination will probably have something related to science fiction, and it will probably be related to "The Martian". After all, "The Martian" is so popular this year.
