Yu Dong and the others didn't say much about cultural dissemination.

For these students, cultural communication is not their turn to worry about for the time being. What they should do most right now is to improve their skills and become a good director, screenwriter, and actor.

Only when you have made achievements in your own industry can you talk about others.

Telling them this now is just planting a seed in their hearts, which will work sooner or later.

The next day, there was an empty day in the itinerary and everyone was free to move around.

Yu Dong originally wanted to wander around New York with Cheng Yanqiu, firstly to relax with his wife, and secondly to add material for a new book.

But the night before, Jimmy called him and told him that he had met a director from Xiangjiang who wanted to meet Yu Dongming.

When I heard that it was a director from Heung Kong, the first name that came to Yu Dong's mind was Wu Yusen, who should be the most active director from Heung Kong in Hollywood.

But Jimmy said a name that surprised Yu Dong: Wang Jiawei.

Is Wang Jiawei also involved in Hollywood?

Later, after Jimmy explained, Yu Dong roughly understood that Wang Jiawei came here to do an event. "Chungking Express" released the year before last was rated as one of the 100 must-see movies by the Toronto International Film Industry. They felt that this movie was very popular in the North American market.

If you have something to do, come over and do some activities.

Since we met, it wouldn't hurt to meet, so Yu Dong agreed.

The next day, Yu Dong and Wang Jiawei met in Jimmy's office.

Yu Dong was quite surprised to see Wang Jiawei.

Yu Dong had seen Wang Jiawei on TV. He always wore a pair of sunglasses and was quite enigmatic.

However, the Wang Jiawei in front of him did not wear sunglasses, but a pair of myopia glasses, and he looked quite handsome.

Wong Kar-Wai is tall, even taller than Yu Dong. Although he is thirty-seven or eighteen years old, his smile is very sunny and charming.

After Jimmy introduced Wang Jiawei, he introduced another slightly shorter man next to Yu Dong, "This is Liu Weiqiang, the photographer of "Chongqing Express"."

Yu Dong raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect it to be Liu Weiqiang.

Compared with Wang Jiawei, Liu Weiqiang is a bit unattractive, of medium height, wearing a pair of thick-framed brown glasses, and has very light eyebrows.

He stood behind Wang Jiawei, waited until Jimmy introduced him, then walked up with a smile and shook hands with Yu Dong, "Hello, Mr. Yu."

This may have something to do with the fact that his Mandarin is not as good as Wang Jiawei's. There are only five words in total. He also stumbles when speaking, but it can be seen that he has worked very hard.

Yu Dong held his hand and said with a smile: "Nice to meet you, nice to meet you."

After sitting down, Wang Jiawei said with a smile: "Mr. Yu, I was actually born in Shanghai. I am half a Shanghainese. We are still fellow villagers."

Yu Dong smiled and replied, "Since we are in New York, we Chinese are all fellow countrymen. I am also very happy to hear that Jimmy said that you are also in New York. It is also a kind of fate to meet you in a foreign country."

"We knew Mr. Yu that you were in New York. We immediately asked Jimmy to contact you and wanted to visit. We didn't expect that you would really want to see us. We are really honored."

Wang Jiawei's words are a bit modest. These past few years have been the peak of his career. From "Carmen" to "Days of Being Wild" to "Ashes of Time" and "Chungking Express", every movie he directed has been of a high level.

They are all very tall and are already very famous directors.

He didn't have any special purpose for coming here this time, he just wanted to meet Yu Dong.

This world-renowned Chinese writer has become more and more influential in the film industry after "Second World" and "Resident Evil" were released one after another.

I heard that there are several more movies to be released in the future. Although I haven’t seen the movie yet, I know that the movie will be good just by looking at the co-directors.

Joe Schumacher, Scorsese, Barry Sonnenfeld, Giuseppe Tornatore, which one is not a big name.

After these movies come out, Yu Dong's influence in the film and television industry will definitely reach a higher level.

Therefore, Wang Jiawei definitely has reason to be modest in front of Yudong.

Yu Dong chatted with Wang Jiawei for a while, and probably knew that the other party had no special purpose, so he chatted with him very casually.

Liu Weiqiang on the side didn't know whether it was because of the occasion or his own personality. He didn't speak much and always drank tea with his cup in his hand.

Halfway through the conversation, Yu Dong looked at Liu Weiqiang with a smile, "How is the cooperation between Mr. Liu and Director Wang better?"

Before Liu Weiqiang could speak, Wang Jiawei explained to him, ""Chungking Express" is our second collaboration, but Wei Qiang is also a director himself, and the two "Young and Dangerous" movies this year performed very well at the box office. Wei Qiang is very efficient.

, the second part of "Young and Dangerous 2" was filmed in less than two weeks."

Speaking of efficiency, Liu Weiqiang said, "In order to seize the spring schedule, the filming and post-production were rushed. It was a helpless move. It could have been better."

Yu Dong didn't pay much attention to the movies in Xiangjiang. He didn't expect that the "Young and Dangerous" series had already been released.

As for shooting a movie in less than two weeks, it is not an exaggeration for Hong Kong movies. The shooting speed of Hong Kong movies is already fast.

Jimmy said from the side: "The two "Young and Dangerous" films directed by Liu this time have made their best partners a lot of money, otherwise they would not be so eager to grab the schedule. If there is an opportunity, the two directors can consider it

By cooperating with Deep Space Company, we will also have some movie plans in China later on."

"If it's possible, then it's a dream come true. I don't think anyone can refuse the opportunity to cooperate with the Deep Space Company." Wang Jiawei laughed, "Going international has always been our goal."

After hearing Jimmy talk about cooperation, Yu Dong remembered two movies.

One is "Flowers". Before Yu Dong was reborn, he heard some news that "Flowers" was going to be a movie. One of the directors mentioned on the Internet was Wang Jiawei. As for what happened next, Yu Dong didn't know.

The other one is "Infernal Affairs".

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Although Liu Weiqiang filmed "Young and Dangerous", his road to fame has just begun. The film that really brought his fame to the peak should be "Infernal Affairs"

"series.

"Flowers" aside, the project "Infernal Affairs" is really worth moving.

The box office comes second. After all, whether it's the Mainland or Hong Kong, the ticket warehouses are only so big nowadays, and the money-making is simply not as good as in Hollywood.

Apart from anything else, if Yu Dong writes a script and sells it in Hollywood, it will start with one million US dollars. It may make more money than spending time making a movie in Hong Kong or the Mainland, and it is safer.

But the plan of "Infernal Affairs" is far from as simple as making money.

Deep Space has now signed actors in China. After signing these actors, if they can be assigned some roles in "Infernal Affairs", it will naturally be very beneficial to their future.

After thinking for a while, Yu Dong said, "Jimmy is right. Maybe it won't be long before we have the opportunity to cooperate. I recently had an idea for a police film, but it hasn't taken shape yet."

"A police movie." Wang Jiawei looked at Liu Weiqiang and said, "That might be more suitable for Wei Qiang."

Yu Dong nodded: "That's true. If Director Liu is interested, you can come and take a look after I finish this script."

"Of course I'm interested." Liu Weiqiang looked excited, "I'm worried."

Yu Dong was stunned, "Can't you ask for it?"

Liu Weiqiang smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I'm worried."

Yu Dong burst out laughing, "Director Liu's Mandarin is quite interesting."

Speaking of Mandarin, both Wang Jiawei and Liu Weiqiang are a little embarrassed.

It's easy to say that it's not as good as going to Dongdu, but Jimmy, a foreigner, can say it much better than them.

…

After Wang Jiawei and Liu Weiqiang left, only Yu Dong and Jimmy were left in the office.

Jimmy asked Yu Dong, "Dong, is the plan you told them about the new book you were preparing recently? It turns out to be a police novel?"

Yu Dong shook his head: "No, I told them another plan."

"The other one?" Jimmy was very surprised, "Why didn't I know?"

"Because I just thought of it." Yu Dong smiled.

"Just now..." Jimmy blinked and laughed, "It seems that this period of rest is very useful. I have two plans at once. By the way, there may be three more. You were following

How are you thinking about the novel about occultism and cryptography that Dan Brown mentioned?"

"I haven't read the information yet. Let's wait until the two plans at hand are completed."

Jimmy nodded, "Don't rush, take your time, we are now talking about signing a contract with Dan Brown."

"Signing?"

"Yes, since it is a cultural and entertainment company, it is natural to expand its business to music." Jimmy added some hot water to Yu Dong's cup, "I wanted to talk to you for a while, but we just happened to talk about it today.

Well, let’s talk about it. Didn’t the boss lady make the soundtracks for “The Tuner” and “1900”? These things also need to be run. Of course, we do our own business, and our company is the first signed writer.

If it’s you, then the first musician to sign a contract should naturally be the boss’s wife.”

"You are asking both of us to work for the company."

Jimmy snorted, "Why don't we all work for you and your wife?"

"What you said is offending your conscience. Have I ever received a penny from the company over the years? When it comes to working, I am also working for you."

Jimmy chuckled, "Isn't this all in the pot?"

Then the two looked at each other, smiled, picked up the tea cups and clinked them.

Jimmy has been very busy these past few years, which has not been easy, but Yu Dong has not treated him badly and has been injecting capital into the company.

He basically didn't keep any of the royalties that Yu Dong earned and invested them all in the company.

Otherwise, the company would not have the money to do anything in the past two years.

Of course, this is all relative. If he hadn't seen Jimmy's ability, Yu Dong would not have continued to inject capital. And if he hadn't seen Yu Dong's continued capital injection and Yu Dong's talent, Jimmy certainly wouldn't have been able to run the company so wholeheartedly.
