Yu Hua looked at Yu Dong with a smile: "Should I be careful when I talk to you now? After all, you are now the distinguished winner of the Lu Xun Literature Award."
Seeing Yu Hua's weird look, Yu Dong smiled and said, "Teacher Yu Hua, can I interpret your sour words as jealousy?"
Yu Hua nodded generously: "Okay."
In fact, Yu Hua was just joking. He has written few short stories to begin with, so he naturally has no ambitions for the Lu Xun Literature Prize. He really wants to win the Contradiction Literature Prize.
Yu Dong smiled and said: "I was originally looking for you. I had a chat with Jimmy a few years ago and decided to wait for you to go to the treasure island after a while."
"Going to Treasure Island?" Mo Yan said a little surprised: "Why do you suddenly think of going there?"
"Promote your book."
"Our book?" Yu Hua smiled: "I guess it's difficult to promote it. The book markets in the two places are very different. It's difficult for Mo Yan's and mine's books to be popular."
"We are not the only ones. This time we are planning to hold a book fair with writers from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places. I agree with you that the book market is different, but if you say that your books will not be popular, I definitely don't agree.
Your books can be sold well in Europe and the United States, why can’t they be sold in Baodao? It’s still a matter of method, and we didn’t focus our promotion there before.”
Hearing what Yu Dong said, Yu Hua nodded and said, "Okay, we can just follow the arrangement."
"Also, we may have to stay there for a few more days this time, because besides the book fair, we have many other things to do."
Mo Yan smiled and said: "You and Feiyu, who have positions in their bodies, will have no problem, and Yu Hua and I will have no problem. By the way, will Xiaobo come over this time? I heard that he is quite popular in Baodao.
welcome."
"He will go too." Yu Dong nodded.
Wang Xiaobo returned to Yanjing a few years ago, and his wife Li Yinhe returned to China. However, Li Yinhe will still go abroad during this period, and Wang Xiaobo will come to Jinling by then.
As for Wang Xiaobo's reputation in Baodao, that is to say, relatively speaking, it is higher than Mo Yan and others, but he is not really famous.
…
After Yu Hua and the others left, Yu Dong went to the office.
He made an appointment with Li Hong to meet in the afternoon, and when he arrived at the office, Li Hong had already arrived first.
Seeing Li Hong sitting on the sofa, Yu Dong looked at his watch in surprise: "Didn't we make an appointment at four-thirty? It's only early three o'clock."
Li Hong was in a daze. When he saw Yu Dong coming, he stood up quickly and said with some embarrassment: "I have nothing else to do at the moment, so I just wanted to come over early so as not to disturb your work, right?"
"No." Yu Dong smiled and waved his hand, then poured a glass of water for Li Hong, "I was quite surprised when I received your call. I didn't expect you to write the script so quickly."
Years ago, Yu Dong approached Li Hong about writing a script. Li Hong was a little hesitant at the time, but after the annual meeting, Li Hong expressed to Yu Dong that she was willing to give it a try.
It had only been more than two weeks since the day she agreed to give it a try, and there was the Spring Festival in between. Yu Dong didn't expect that she would write a script during this time.
Li Hong explained, "Actually, it's something I wrote before. I made some modifications and tidying up after I went back last time."
"Well, where is the manuscript?"
"I'll give it to you."
Li Hong took out her manuscript from her schoolbag and handed it to Yu Dong, "Some details are actually not perfect enough, but I want to show it to you first to see if this type of manuscript will work."
Yu Dong nodded: "Sit down for a while, I'll take a look first."
…
Reading Li Hong's script, Yu Dong would laugh from time to time.
When he smiled, Li Hong felt uneasy.
If she wrote a comedy, then Yu Dong's smile would be an affirmation of the script. But the problem is, what she wrote is a tragedy, a very tragic kind. Even if there are some warm little scenes in it, but
It's not like he laughs so often.
Does Teacher Yu think this script is too poorly written?
Two hours later, Yu Dong put down the script in his hand and said with a smile: "It was very well written."
"Ah?" Li Hong was stunned, this was different from what she thought.
"The writing is very good. If you change some details, you can prepare for filming. Don't go back to Shanghai during this period. Ask for leave from the unit. I will let you arrange a place for you, and you can polish the script.
Just hurry up. If everything goes well, we can start shooting in the summer."
Li Hong blinked and looked at Yu Dong: "Teacher Yu, are you serious?"
Yu Dong smiled and said, "Do I need to joke with you about this?"
"But..." Li Hong hesitated for a moment, then summoned up the courage to ask: "When you were reading the script just now, you kept laughing, and what I wrote is a tragic love story."
"Oh, you misunderstood, I was smiling happily."
"Glad?"
"Yes." Yu Dong nodded: "I'm glad that you have found your own style. You can write this kind of script with ease."
Yu Dong's words made Li Hong feel a little embarrassed: "Actually, these are all my usual random thoughts. It's a bit embarrassing to actually write them down."
"Very good, no problem." Yu Dong smiled and looked at his watch: "It's getting late, I'll treat you to a meal."
Li Hong was a little confused: "Teacher Yu, actually my luggage is still in the hotel lobby..."
"Oh, if that's the case, then I'll ask Hu Hao to take you back to the hotel, and we'll talk about the meal later."
…
After Li Hong left, Yu Dong called Yu Liang and asked him to make arrangements for Li Hong.
Yu Dong hopes that the plan for this TV series will be finalized in the first half of the year.
Li Hong's script is indeed quite good, at least it has enough dramatic conflicts.
The story tells the story of a pair of childhood sweethearts who played together from the age of four or five until they were ten years old. When the boy was ten years old, his family became wealthy and moved away from the original place. Later, the girl went to work in the city and met the male protagonist again.
The male protagonist changed his name and looked different, so the female protagonist did not recognize the male protagonist, but the male protagonist recognized the female protagonist at a glance.
The heroine has just arrived in a big city, and her life is relatively difficult, but the hero has been silently helping the heroine, and the two have been in love for a long time... Just when the relationship is about to develop further, a wealthy daughter comes out and keeps destroying the relationship between the hero and heroine.
Emotions caused a series of misunderstandings.
Later, the male protagonist got into a car accident and lost his memory and forgot about the female protagonist. This time, the female protagonist met the male protagonist, but the male protagonist couldn't bear the heroine... The ending was that the female protagonist was terminally ill and would die soon.
After reading this script, Yu Dong can only say "absolutely". They have known each other since childhood, car accidents, amnesia, terminal illness...these bloody elements of idol dramas are all concentrated in this script, and they were perfectly integrated by Li Hong.
Bloody, but reasonable.
