Chapter 292 The Golden Age(2/3)
Yu Dong looked at Cheng Yanqiu again, and Cheng Yanqiu whispered, "Let her do it."
"Okay, come here, I'm..."
After hanging up the phone with Zhao Jieping, Yu Dong smiled and shook his head, "I didn't expect her to be so enthusiastic and can't wait."
"If I were her, I couldn't wait. For her, you may be the last hope of "The Golden Age". How can she wait any longer." Cheng Yanqiu said with a smile.
Yu Dong looked at "The Golden Age" on the table, which he borrowed from his teacher's house.
Cheng Yanqiu and Yu Dong read this book in Jinling last year. At that time, it was "The Golden Age", which was the wrong edition.
Yu Dong looked at the time again, it was already past eight o'clock, and sighed, "Hey, I still want to have a great friendship with you."
Cheng Yanqiu rolled his eyes at Yu Dong, "Who has a great friendship with you?"
After a while, Yu Dong and Cheng Yanqiu arrived at Zhao Jieping.
Zhao Jieping is in her forties, well-dressed, but her complexion does not look good. I heard from Hu Yueming that she had been ill a few days ago, and it seems that she has not fully recovered.
Entering the room, Zhao Jieping was stunned for a moment when she saw Cheng Yanqiu, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
She was too anxious just now. She asked for the room number and hurried here. On the way, she woke up and realized that it was not good to meet Yu Dong alone so late at night.
But she couldn't change the agreement, so she came here, so when she saw the girl Cheng Yanqiu was there, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hello, Ms. Zhao, I am Yu Dong and this is my fiancée Cheng Yanqiu."
"Hello, hello, it's really rude to disturb you two so late."
"It's okay." Cheng Yanqiu smiled, "Yu Dong, take Ms. Zhao over and sit down, and I'll pour you a cup of tea."
"Thank you, Miss Cheng."
After the two sat down, Zhao Jieping hurriedly said, "Teacher Yu, you said that there is hope for a new beginning in "The Golden Age". What do you mean by that?"
"It means that I can help you find a new publisher for "The Golden Age" and then contact you through formal sales channels. Or based on the original version, I can contact you through formal channels to sell this book," Yu Dong explained.
road.
"If possible, I hope to find a publisher again. Because of my unauthorized publication of "The Golden Age", our publisher now has a lot of opinions about this book and me."
"Okay, then let's find another publishing house."
"But." Zhao Jieping was a little confused, "It's not that "The Golden Age" has not been read by other publishing houses. Most of the publishing houses said that the work is very good, but they dare not publish it. Teacher Yu, please forgive me for asking.
One sentence, can you really find a publisher willing to publish this book?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "It's not a big problem." Yu Dong said with a smile, "You have no other choice now, so you might as well leave it to me to try. Even if it doesn't work in the end,
There’s no difference.”
Zhao Jieping nodded, "It seems there is no worse possibility."
"Okay, if possible, I would like to meet Wang Xiaobo and ask him for his personal opinion." Yu Dong said.
"Of course. Tomorrow...oh, you have a book signing tomorrow. How about I bring him to you the morning after tomorrow?"
Yu Dong said, "Just tomorrow, let him go to Xinhua Bookstore tomorrow, and I will take the time to chat with him. Just in time, I will also take him to meet some teachers in the publishing industry."
Zhao Jieping immediately understood Yu Dong's intentions and said happily, "Okay, I will tell him when I get back soon. He must be very happy because he appreciates your works very much. Especially "Death of a Widow", he said
It is the best novel he has read in recent years."
"Okay, let's meet tomorrow."
The meeting with Zhao Jieping ended quickly, mainly because she couldn't discuss this matter with Zhao Jieping. After all, she could not fully represent Wang Xiaobo.
…
At around seven o'clock the next morning, Yu Dong and Cheng Yanqiu arrived at the bookstore.
At this time, some readers have already arrived at the scene, but since the book signing only started at nine o'clock, there are not many people here, only about ten people.
Yu Dong glanced around and suddenly saw a tall man standing out among the crowd.
Looking at his face again, Yu Dong recognized the other person as Wang Xiaobo. This guy came so early and was still queuing up among the readers.
Wang Xiaobo's appearance is easy to recognize. First of all, he feels like he stands out among the crowd at his height. His face is even more distinctive.
The long hair is combed to one side, and the part of the hair is very sparse, revealing a large piece of scalp. The eyebrows are very light, the nose is big, the nostrils are facing outward, and the mouth is also very big. Even if you don't open it, you can feel its size.
.
His appearance is not pleasant, but he is easy to remember.
When Yu Dong walked up to Wang Xiaobo, he was looking at the "Going West" poster in front of him in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Wang Xiaobo?"
Wang Xiaobo looked over and asked, "Do you know me?"
"I am Yu Dong."
Wang Xiaobo laughed, revealing two rows of white teeth and gums. His smile was ugly but also sincere, "Hello, Yu Dong."
Why not use "Hello"? Yu Dong was a little disappointed, but he thought Wang Xiaobo's "Hello" would only be reserved for Li Yinhe.
"Let's go in and talk."
Yu Dong asked the staff to arrange a break room and prepared to chat with Wang Xiaobo before the press conference started.
The reporters who had arrived early saw Yu Dong arriving and greeted him warmly. However, they were a little disappointed when they saw him leading a tall man into the lounge. They thought the interview could start early.
Entering the lounge, Yu Dong looked at Wang Xiaobo and said with a smile, "I finally see you."
Wang Xiaobo didn't understand why Yu Dong used "finally", because according to what Zhao Jieping told him, Yu Dong wanted to meet him because he saw "The Golden Age" with Dean Hu yesterday, and it was only a day later that "finally"
"Isn't this word too much?
Yu Dong saw his doubts and explained, "I read your "Secret Stories of the Tang Dynasty" at my teacher's house the year before last, and I saw your "The Golden Age" in the bookstore last year, so I have wanted to see you for a long time.
is you."
Wang Xiaobo didn't know that there was such a connection. After hearing what Yu said, he didn't know what to say. He just smiled with two corners of his mouth. His smile was really special, as if his jaw couldn't hang on his chin and he was trying hard to hold back the muscles of his cheeks.
I want to cover my chin.
When he smiles, the sides of his mouth become elongated, looking a bit like clown makeup.
In real life, Wang Xiaobo is not very talkative.
So Yu Dong took the initiative and said, "Did Teacher Zhao tell you the matter?"
"Yes, I said it."
"What's your opinion?" Yu Dong asked.
"Of course I agree with my opinion. I originally wanted to make "The Golden Age" sell better, and I have made some efforts. However, it seems that bookstores are not willing to sell novels. Of course, I have my own problems.
I won’t say any more.” At the end of the sentence, he laughed again.
"Since you're willing, I'll ask my assistant to talk to you in detail later. I'm actually speaking out for the brokerage company I signed. When the time comes, you need to sign a brokerage contract with the company, and they will give you the details of the contract.
You see, if you think there is no problem, things can start." Yu Dong briefly introduced the situation to Wang Xiaobo.
Wang Xiaobo smiled and said: "I understand."
He had studied abroad and knew about writers' agents. But he was surprised to hear about this model in China.
Yu Dong looked at the time and said, "The interview will start soon. I'm afraid I won't have time to accompany you anymore. You sit here for a while and I'll let someone else talk to you."
"good."
Wang Xiaobo shook hands with Yu Dong, and suddenly said, "Actually, I was in line just now, and I was pretty far ahead."
Yu Dong was stunned, why did he suddenly say this?
"I also want a signed book."
Yu Dong smiled, it turned out it was because of this, "Okay, I'll sign it right away and have it delivered to you."
…
After leaving the lounge, Yu Dong went straight to the interview area and waved his hand, "Everyone, let's get started."
These reporters were gathering together to chat when Yu Dong suddenly came over and started speaking. Most of them had not yet reacted.
There are some who respond quickly.
"Teacher Yu, would you like to ask if "Second World" can be released in China? Do you have any work in it?"
The person asking the question was a reporter from Yanjing TV, and Yu Dong still had an impression of him.
The other party asked about "Second World" when he came up. Yu Dong had expected this. After all, with such big news, who wouldn't want to come over and grab first-hand information?
"I only learned about the news two days ago, just a few days earlier than you." Yu Dong replied.
"Teacher Yu, "Second World" will be released in the United States in a few days. How do you think the box office of "Second World" will be? Can it win this year's box office championship?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I think there should be hope. Although it did not catch up with the prime time period in July and August, I have participated in the production of "The Second World" and I know this movie well.
Excellent. Compared with the novel, you will see many different things in the movie. This time, Director Spielberg made a lot of attempts and made great progress in visual effects technology. Even for the United States
For the audience, it will be a different visual experience than before.”
