After arriving at the auditorium, I was finally able to move my feet.

However, the auditorium is used for events after all, and its reception function is relatively poor. It is difficult to arrange tea or anything else.

Fortunately, Ruan Xiaohu, Qu Aiguo and the others were there to help with the work, and Li Yu and the others took the initiative to ask for help, so they were able to cope with the situation.

In the past, these people came here just to see Yu Dong or Yu Hua. Now that there were so many people, it was impossible for everyone to talk to Yu Dong, so they began to actively expand their social circles and find people to get to know.

Everyone was in a group of a few or a dozen people, and Yu Dong was walking back and forth among the groups.

Zhang Yimou was very interested in Giuseppe and had been looking for an opportunity to talk to Giuseppe. After arriving at the auditorium, he finally found the opportunity.

"Hello, Mr. Giuseppe, I am Zhang Yimou."

After Rossi translated Zhang Yimou's words to Giuseppe, Giuseppe smiled and shook hands with Zhang Yimou: "Hello."

"Mr. Tornadore, this Mr. Zhang Yimou is a very famous director in China. His previous films "Red Sorghum" and "To Live" performed well at the film festival."

Giuseppe suddenly said, "It turns out he is the director of "Red Sorghum". I have seen this movie and it is very amazing."

Speaking of which, Zhang Yimou is Giuseppe's senior.

When "Red Sorghum" won the Golden Bear, "Cinema Paradiso" had not yet been released. At that time, Giuseppe was still an unknown person, while Zhang Yimou was already a new director who had entered the international market.

However, after "Cinema Paradiso" came out, Giuseppe quickly became famous.

Faced with Giuseppe's compliment, Zhang Yimou smiled and then asked: "Has Mr. Giuseppe ever cooperated with Deep Space Company before?"

"No, but there will be one soon. I collaborated with YU on a script." Giuseppe smiled.

Zhang Yimou nodded. The matter was pretty much what he had guessed. As for what the script was, he didn't ask again. He and Giuseppe had just met, so it was difficult to ask about such a private matter. If he wanted to know, he could only wait until he asked Yu Dong later.

The two were chatting here. Yu Dong, who was not far away, glanced here and was about to come over. Li Xiaolin waved to him, "Yu Dong, here."

Yu Dong could only smile and walk towards Li Xiaolin and the others.

In addition to those from the Shanghai Writers Association, there are also Yu Hua and Bi Feiyu. As soon as Yu Dong arrived, Cheng Yongxing said with a smile, "I have some good news for you."

"What good news?"

"The selection for the Short Story Award will begin next year. It is said that works from 1995 and 1996 will be judged. Your short stories are all included in the selection."

"It is indeed good news." Yu Dong nodded, "But are you talking about the next year of the lunar calendar or the solar calendar?"

"In the Gregorian calendar, the selection will start in 1997, and there is still one year left."

Li Xiaolin said on the side, "Don't think that you have slacked off in the selection of your previous articles. You still have to work hard this year. And our news may not be accurate. Don't let the awards be postponed by then, and those articles of yours will not be used."

."

"I understand." Yu Dong smiled. The news this time is probably correct. He knows this matter better than Li Xiaolin and others.

However, this kind of inside information is actually a kind of cheating.

Writers without inside information may not write too many short stories, but those with inside information must write some no matter what, just to compete for awards.

Whether you can win an award depends on the quality of your work, but to a certain extent, quantity can also improve quality. Even if it doesn't improve quality, it can still enhance your sense of presence.

But now it seems that this news will no longer be an inside story soon. If Li Xiaolin can tell it on such an occasion, more and more people will definitely know about it later.

Yu Dong chatted with Li Xiaolin and the others for a while, made an appointment to visit Balao next year, and then turned and walked towards Giuseppe and the others.

Before he took two steps, he was blocked by two broad figures.

It's Joe Schumacher and Romero. Both of these guys are over 1.9 meters tall, especially Romero, who is close to 2 meters tall.

With these two people standing in front of me, I felt quite oppressive.

"Hi Joe Romero."

Yu Dong smiled and said hello, and then saw Matthew McConaughey standing behind the two of them.

Matthew McConaughey is about the same height as Yu Dong, just over 1.8 meters tall, but standing behind Joe Schumacher and the others, he was tightly blocked.

"Matthew, you are here too." Yu Dong said hello to Matthew McConaughey again with a smile.

Schumacher patted Yu Dong's shoulder very enthusiastically, "YU, I'm here to ask you if you would like to direct on the set of "Sniper Phone Booth"...Jimmy has never replied to me, so I can only come and ask you in person.

Already."

"I have to check your shooting time..."

"Our shooting time doesn't matter, it can be set according to your time. Anyway, our shooting time is relatively short."

"Okay, let me check the schedule and give you an answer tomorrow, okay?"

"Then I'll come find you tomorrow morning."

Yu Dong patted his forehead, Schumacher was too difficult to deal with.

"Don't come over tomorrow morning. I'll give you an answer when we meet at the venue tomorrow afternoon."

Schumacher smiled and said: "Okay."

After taking care of Schumacher, Yu Dong looked at Romero again, "Romero, what can you do? Do you want me to follow you during the filming of "Resident Evil 2"?"

"No, no, no." Romero waved his hand and said with a smile, "I'm just here to talk to you."

Yu Dong nodded and suggested, "How about we go over there and talk to Giuseppe and the others?"

"sure."

A few of them walked towards Giuseppe, and other directors and actors were also attracted. After a while, Yu Dong was surrounded by more than a dozen people, all directors and actors from home and abroad.

Li Xiaolin looked at Yu Dong and said with a smile, "Yu Dong is very famous in the film and television industry now."

Cheng Yongxing nodded in approval, "Everyone was talking about Wang Shuo in the past few years. At that time, Wang Shuo was basically unmatched in TV dramas. Who would have thought that now there would be another Yu Dong."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I think that even when Wang Shuo was at his peak, he could not compare to Yu Dong today." Wang Anyi said.

"The paths taken are different. Yu Dong mainly exports, while Wang Shuo mainly sells domestically. Yu Dong has not been involved in the TV series, and is still far away from the domestic people." Li Xiaolin said.

"Didn't I hear that I wrote a script and asked Zhao Baogang to film it? This is Yu Dong's debut in the TV series. I don't know what will happen." Wang Anyi looked at Yu Hua again, "Is that TV series about to be broadcast?

?”

Yu Hua nodded, "Yes, it will be broadcast next month."

"I'll have to pay attention then."

…

Not long after Yu Dong chatted with the directors and actors, a new guest was welcomed into the auditorium.

George Lucas was led by Jiang Jie, and as soon as he entered the auditorium, he went straight to the east direction.

"YU, I finally meet you." Lucas held Yu Dong's hand enthusiastically, "I'm sorry, I'm a little late."

Yu Dong was held by Lucas' hand, and he was still a little confused. He didn't recognize the middle-aged man in front of him.

Jiang Jie promptly introduced him, "This is George Lucas, the founder of Lucasfilm and the director of "Star Wars."

Yu Dong smiled, it turned out to be him.

"Mr. Lucas, your arrival has made my place full of glory. I have always heard Steven mention you before, and today I finally see you in person."

"Yes, we have worked together many times, but I didn't expect that we would meet for the first time in such a long time."

Yu Dong nodded. Indeed, Lucasfilm has participated in several movies in Deep Space in the United States, especially their Industrial Light and Magic, from "Second World" to "Resident Evil" to the upcoming "Dark Space".

"The Clothed Man", this company was responsible for all the special effects.

If the follow-up "Harry Potter" is to be filmed, there is a high probability that they will be contacted.

George Lucas also knew that Deep Space Company would be their main customer in the future.

Let’s not talk about other things, just the plans that have been carried out and basically confirmed have already accounted for one-third of the workload of Industrial Light and Magic in the next few years.

It is also because of such close cooperation that although George Lucas has been busy with work recently, he still took time to visit China.

Yu Dong was also very happy to see George Lucas, and quickly asked Jiang Jie to call over the science fiction and fantasy novelists gathered on the other side.

After these writers arrived, Yu Dong enthusiastically introduced to Lucas, "These are science fiction and fantasy authors under the Deep Space banner. This is George Martin. Maybe you should know him. This is Wang Jingkang, our Chinese author."

…”

After Yu Dong took the trouble to introduce all the authors, he smiled and said to Lucas, "Mr. Lucas, I dare say that at least half of the people here will cooperate with you in the future."

In fact, Lucas was somewhat disbelieving in his heart.

Both George R.R. Martin and Rowling are easy to talk about. The former is well-known in the American science fiction community, and the recent "A Song of Ice and Fire" has received particularly good market response. Although the latter has no published works, Lucas knows

According to some inside information, Warner and Deep Space are promoting her.

As for those Chinese science fiction writers, Lucas thinks it is incredible that one or two can go global. Not everyone can be like YU.

But on the surface, Lucas still betrayed Yu Dong and said with a smile, "Of course, I'm also looking forward to cooperating with all the writers."

Yu Dong also probably knew that Lucas might not believe his words. In fact, he himself was not entirely sure whether his words could come true.

But he just wants to say that on the one hand, he must show confidence and at the same time give Wang Jingkang and others hope and confidence. On the other hand, this is also his goal. Sooner or later, Yu Dong will no longer be the only one to enter the international market.
