When Yu Dong and Cheng Yanqiu went to ask Wu Changxin for leave, Wu Changxin agreed immediately.

Both of them currently have relatively few teaching tasks, so taking a few days off will not delay things at all. In fact, in Wu Changxin's view, as a well-known writer, Yu Dong takes very little leave.

Writers are the same everywhere, they are very free and can basically go wherever they want. There are many reasons, including collecting stories, participating in activities, being invited to give lectures, and even academic exchanges.

However, these writers at Jinyi are different. Although Bi Feiyu is lazy, he is not sloppy in his work. Except for attending exchange meetings before, he has basically never asked for leave. In addition to teaching, he also serves as a tutor for three classes.

As a member of the Communist Party of China, I usually have a lot of trivial matters.

In this way, Bi Feiyu was still keen on organizing sports activities, and often led students to participate in football and volleyball matches with Feng Ming.

As for the two writers-in-residence, Yu Hua and Ruan Xiaohu, Yu Hua is better and sometimes asks for leave... In fact, there is no need to ask for leave at all, and the writer-in-residence does not have to squat at work. Only when the departure time is relatively long, do they have to inform the school.

.

Ruan Xiaohu is staying at school. If Wu Changxin wants to find Ruan Xiaohu, he basically only needs to go to the dormitory. In Wu Changxin's impression, Ruan Xiaohu has never left the dormitory.

Generally speaking, these four writers in their school don't like to socialize around.

"You go to the Academy Awards, and I'll do some publicity on campus." After approving the leave, Wu Changxin said with a smile.

"Anything is fine. Even if it is not publicized, I believe that various newspapers will report it in the future."

Wu Changxin nodded, "That's right... By the way, I may need to trouble you about something."

"Well, principal, tell me."

"It's like this. After this semester, the directing major will enter its second year. My idea is to organize a few students to go to some theater groups to study on the spot. You have more resources in this area. Can you help me ask which theater group is willing to accept them?

Of course, all expenses are paid by the school, and the students will not delay the filming."

After hearing this, Yu Dong laughed and said, "Principal Wu, you are really investing a lot."

"How can we develop without investment? I also need your help and try to find some high-level crews so that students can have more exposure." Wu Changxin said sincerely, "The school's directing major has just started.

That string must be tight."

Yu Dong nodded, "I'll tell Yu Liang about this and let them help arrange it. I'll ask him to connect with you later."

Yu Dong will definitely help with this task. It won't cost much. It will be beneficial to the school and the company. Maybe one of these directors will be great in the future, and the company will be close to the company.

Jimmy mentioned something when he came here some time ago, saying that he wanted to provide financial support to some potential directors in the country. If you want to build an entertainment empire, excellent directors are an indispensable part. Make plans early and pay later.

The price will be smaller.

Giving help in times of need is always more useful than adding icing on the cake.

Yu Dong was of course in favor of Jimmy's proposal. The first candidate that popped into his mind at that time was Jia Zhangke. This kid thinks about making movies every day, but he just doesn't have the funds. If there is a chance in the future, he can ask the company to sponsor some money.

…

When Yu Dong and Cheng Yanqiu arrived in Los Angeles, they were greeted by the soft sunlight in the early morning. In other words, they followed the sun to Los Angeles.

The sun is still the same sun they saw in China yesterday, but it appears in a different place.

Since they were staying for a while, they brought some luggage, but not much. However, Dudong also brought paper, ink and pen, hoping to write in his free time during this period.

When packing his luggage, Cheng Yanqiu still laughed at him. He couldn't take any time off in the past few days.

Yu Dong replied, writing and writing, and became addicted again.

In the early years, I was forced to practice calligraphy by my parents, but also for the sake of face, which made me somewhat unhappy.

Now that I have started writing again, I am not forced by anyone, nor do I care about what others think. I focus entirely on the words.

But he would also like to thank his parents for forcing him to write, which at least gave him a foundation. Now that he can write again, he will not be clueless, and the most basic and painful stage has been eliminated.

Assistant Jiang Jie also came, and this time it happened to take him to see the company in the United States.

Jimmy was very busy these two days and did not come to pick up Yu Dong. He sent company employees to pick him up.

Go to the hotel first, take a comfortable shower, and then have breakfast.

After breakfast, the first person to see Yu Dong was not Jimmy, but Romero.

This was the first time Yu Dong saw Romero in person. Romero was tall, not ordinary tall. It could be said that among all the people Yu Dong had come into contact with, Romero should be the tallest.

Standing in front of Romero, Yu Dong, who is 1.8 meters tall, is a short man and needs to look up to look at him.

It's two meters by visual inspection.

If Spielberg was there, he would probably only be able to reach Romero's armpit.

Romero also met Yu Dong for the first time. He smiled and hugged Yu Dong, "YU, I have always wanted to see you, and today I finally got my wish."

In order to facilitate communication, Yu Dong called Jiang Jie to his side, but Yu Dong could handle these simple conversations and did not need Jiang Jie to rush.

"Mr. Romero, I have always wanted to meet you. I heard that "Resident Evil" has been finalized. Congratulations."

"It was not easy to make 'Resident Evil' come out. Many things were more difficult to overcome than I thought." Romero said with a smile, "However, the final result is good. I think you will also feel the same when you see the movie."

You'll be surprised. This time, we're using a lot of technology."

"I believe that the final box office will repay your efforts."

"This is all thanks to you. If it weren't for such an excellent original novel, the movie would be..."

The two had another round of commercial exchanges, and then Romero suddenly said, "If the cycle of a series of movies can be shortened, it is definitely a good thing. If the time span is too large, the audience's desire for sequels may be worn away.

"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Romero did not say it clearly, but the meaning is obvious. "Resident Evil" has not yet been released, and he is already staring at "Resident Evil 2".

Since he came to tell Yu Dong about this matter, it proves that the previous communication with Jimmy was not very smooth.

"Mr. Romero, you have to go to Jimmy about this. I think you will have a pleasant communication." Yu Dong smiled.

"YU, to tell you the truth, we have already had an exchange with Jimmy, but he does not want to simply sell us the film and television adaptation rights, but wants to invest."

"Isn't this a good thing for you? Mr. Romero, I know what you mean, but I have authorized all business matters to Jimmy. Like now, if you bypass him and come to me directly, I'm afraid it will affect

Cooperation between the two parties, if Deep Space Company finally decides not to cooperate with you, this is probably not what you want to see."

Romero opened his mouth without speaking, and Yu Dong continued, "Mr. Romero, let me tell you directly, there will be at least five installments in the "Resident Evil" series. You should understand that after the entire series is completed, the field of zombie themes will probably

No one can compare to you. And, as far as I know, you have priority on the sequel, so what are you worried about?"

The room was quiet for a while, and Romero did not speak immediately. He thought that YU was a simple writer and should be easy to deal with, but after chatting for a while, he realized that this was not the case.

Before Romero came, he was wondering how strong the cooperation between YU and Jimmy was and whether it was possible to divide them. But now it seems that YU trusts Jimmy unconditionally and does not even give him a chance to speak.

After pondering for a long time, Romero smiled again and said, "I will go to Jimmy again. I hope he and I can agree on the same opinion."

"I believe it will."

After seeing Romero off, Yu Dong went out with Cheng Yanqiu. They didn't have much time, so they had to act quickly to make use of their time and visit more places.

Their first stop was Santa Monica. The weather was nice today and they were going to enjoy the sea breeze.

I heard from Jimmy that the best season to visit Santa Monica is from April to October, but it was only the end of March and there were already a lot of tourists on the beach.

Yu Dong and the others did not rush to the beach, but rented a bicycle and rode on the coastal road. This coastal road is five or six miles long. In addition to the beach, there are shops, restaurants, and picnic areas along the road. It is quite

abundant.

For this trip, Yu Dong specially bought a camera and spent a lot of money.

Cheng Yanqiu originally wanted him to take a photo of himself with his back to the coast, but Yu Dong fiddled with it for a long time but felt it was not working. He was a novice at photography and could only click the shutter button. He didn't know much about aperture or focal length.

"You were bragging just now."

Tired of posing, Cheng Yanqiu simply turned to look at the beach.

Yu Dong was about to defend himself when he looked up and saw Cheng Yanqiu's graceful silhouette. The railings, the sea level, the sunlight, everything seemed to be in the right place.

Another gust of wind blew, gently and softly, and slightly lifted Cheng Yanqiu's hair.

Yu Dong didn't even bother to adjust the camera anymore, he raised it and started shooting wildly.

Hearing the sound of the shutter, Cheng Yanqiu turned around and said, "Is it adjusted?"

Yu Dong smiled and looked through the photos in the camera.

Not to mention, the photography is really good, the focus is not quite accurate, but it has a hazy beauty.

"My wife is so beautiful." I don't care about anything else, but I am right to praise you first.

Cheng Yanqiu also ran over, looked at the photo, and was quite satisfied, but he still said, "A blind cat meets a dead mouse."

Yu Dong joked, "I am a blind cat, who is the dead mouse?"

"Look for a fight!"

Cheng Yanqiu was about to hit Yu Dong, but Yu Dong hugged him and put him on the back seat of the bicycle. Then he stepped in front of him, braced himself, and kicked his feet: "Let's go, let's go shopping again."

."

As the speed increased, Cheng Yanqiu could only hug Yu Dong honestly. She pressed her face against Yu Dong's back and enjoyed the seaside scenery comfortably.

After lunch, the two of them strolled around the Third Pedestrian Street.

Such a world-famous pedestrian street did not arouse Yu Dong's desire for shopping. On the contrary, when they passed a piano store, a piano placed at the door aroused Cheng Yanqiu's interest.
