When Jimmy came to Yu Dong, he had several newspapers and magazines in his hand.
"Look, these are all criticisms of you."
When Jimmy said this, there was a smile on his face, and it seemed that in his opinion, this was not a bad thing.
Yu Dong glanced at these newspapers and magazines and said with a smile: "There are also people who support me, why don't you find them."
"How can those who support you be as effective as scolding you?"
"You're quite happy when I get scolded. Is it a good thing to be scolded?"
Jimmy shook his head and said: "It also depends on who is being scolded. If you are scolded by some confidential personnel, or by a big shot in the literary world, it is naturally not a good thing. But isn't it a good thing to be scolded by such a thing? Don't look at this
People are acting like shit now, but in the future they will be able to reap their rewards. I have read all the articles they wrote. They are so messed up that even an American like me can’t stand them."
Before Dong could speak, Jimmy continued: "I called and asked "Science Fiction World", and the sales are good, which proves that this trend is still beneficial to you. Don't worry, if it really has any bad impact,
I have a way to help you get it done."
"How to do it?" Yu Dong looked at Jimmy with interest.
"Just spend some money, these people have no position, and they have a lot of dirty information, which is easy to get."
Yu Dong smiled. Don't pay attention to this kind of superficial behavior. Their rank is too low and their methods are too direct, so they won't have much impact. What you need to be wary of is precisely the kind of people who can't usually see it and hide it deeply.
That kind of.
"By the way, I'll show you George Martin's contract."
"No, I'm not very good at English."
"Oh." Jimmy put the contract back again, "I wouldn't have brought it if I had known it. The content of the contract is what I told you before. George is also very satisfied with the conditions and signed it happily. Of course, if I were him
, it might be more enjoyable than what he signed. That’s 200,000 US dollars. How many episodes of TV series does he have to write to earn it?”
"Isn't it generous in Hollywood to pay screenwriters? I heard that some screenwriters earn tens of thousands of dollars per episode."
"It all depends on the person. My thing, for a screenwriter like George who writes one movie after another, getting thousands of dollars per episode is a high price. And for someone like him, how can he be given an episode?
In terms of money, it’s all packaged price. A TV series only costs tens of thousands of dollars, so he had to work hard for several years to earn two hundred thousand dollars.”
Jimmy briefly talked about the situation of Hollywood screenwriters, and then changed the topic: "Dong, we are spending our money a little too fast, and we can't sustain it if we continue like this. If you have any other plans later, be sure to
Tell me in advance so that I can be prepared, otherwise I really won’t have money to operate.”
Yu Dong glanced at Jimmy. When this guy opened his mouth, Yu Dong knew what color he was going to poop. He was asking for money.
But the facts are indeed as he said, he has spent a lot of money recently, and basically the money spent is the plan proposed by Yu Dong.
Yu Dong thought for a while and said: "I will invest another five million, and you will improve the company in the United States as soon as possible. In addition, the domestic company will also start to recruit people. Please take some time to get the financial and financial information ready first."
The legal aspect is taken care of."
"Can't we just outsource the finance and legal affairs?" Jimmy scratched his head, "Finance is fine, but legal affairs are very expensive."
"Listen to me on this matter," Yu Dong said.
Jimmy nodded, "Okay, I listen to you. It's your money that's burning anyway. But as soon as you showed your attitude, I felt more hopeful. This company is definitely not just for fun. I suggest that we wait until our company develops."
After we grow stronger and the policies are improved, we can get a piece of land here in Jinling and build our own office building. Then we can make a steady profit just from the land."
Yu Dong is not very interested in land speculation. "We will talk about these things later. Let's expand the company's business first. Have you sorted out the information about new writers that I asked you to sort out for me last time?"
"I've sorted it out a bit." Jimmy took out a few pieces of paper from his bag and handed it to Yu Dong: "It's the hardest to find information about new authors because they are not famous and I was short of time this time. I sorted out four of them."
Yu Dong took the information and glanced at it, but didn't see any familiar names.
"Well, don't be too hasty, take your time. In addition to newcomers, writers with potential works can also pay attention."
Jimmy smiled and said, "You don't need to tell me this. What do we writers' agents do? Isn't it just to find writers with potential?"
"By the way." Jimmy took out another pile of information from his bag, "I have recently collected information from several game companies. Take a look and see if any of them are of interest to you."
Yu Dong took the information, but did not read it in a hurry. Instead, he smiled and said: "It doesn't matter whether we are interested or not. What is important is whether the other party is interested. This type of game may not necessarily appeal to all game companies. I let you
Paying attention is actually asking you to be careful. If "Resident Evil" becomes popular, I think there will definitely be game companies looking for you. Then we will talk about who to cooperate with."
Jimmy nodded: "You're right. It's time-consuming to go from house to house, and I may not be able to find the right way."
…
The day after Jimmy left, Yu Dong received a reply from Lu Yao.
The reply was very long, seven pages long.
Lu Yao told Yu Dong that receiving Yu Dong's letter was the happiest thing for him in this period of time.
Lu Yao also paid attention to Yu Dong's novels. I had been thinking about what kind of person Yu Dong was, but I didn't expect to receive a letter from Yu Dong.
Seven pages, thousands of words, but Lu Yao didn't mention a word about his condition. He also said that he would go to Jinling to have dinner and drinks with Yu Dong when he was free.
After reading Lu Yao's letter, Yu Dong was quite emotional.
Perhaps he is still full of hope for life, or perhaps he wants to remain proud and stubborn in front of strange friends, and does not want to ask for even a little mercy from his new friend Yu Dong.
Yu Dong sent another letter to Lu Yao, but also did not mention his illness again. He only said that he would treat him to dinner when he had time.
But this time what Yu Dong waited for was not a reply, but an obituary.
In mid-November, Lu Yao passed away.
When Yu Dong saw the obituary, he was stunned for a long time. He originally thought it would take some time, but he didn't expect the bad news to come so quickly.
After learning that the funeral was on the 21st, Yu Dong immediately bought a ticket and rushed to Chang'an.
He originally thought that when the next reply came, he would find time to see Lu Yao. However, he did not expect that the difference between yin and yang would be separated by just one thought.
After running all the way, when Yu Dong arrived at the funeral parlor, the farewell ceremony had already begun.
