After returning from the garden, Yu Dong told his father-in-law and mother-in-law about the matter. They expressed their surprise but didn't say much. They knew that Yu Dong was rich, but they didn't know how much money Yu Dong had.

Yu Dong told them that a room had been arranged for them, but his father-in-law and mother-in-law said no, they were living well now. However, later Yu Dong said that they needed someone to take care of the baby after giving birth, and they were obviously moved.

As for Cheng Yanqiu's grandparents, Yu Dong's idea is that after they retreat, he can also take them to live in the garden if they want.

They had no control over this matter, so they just said they would talk to the old man and the old lady later.

But Cheng Liye also said that the old man and the others would probably only agree to live there occasionally. It is basically impossible to live there permanently. They have lived in Yanjing for so many years and their old friends are all there. If they move to Jinling to settle down, their circle of friends will be

broken.

…

In early June, Yu Dong received two invitations, one for the Galaxy Awards Ceremony and the other for the Saturn Awards Ceremony.

Needless to say, the Galaxy Award is a regular event every year.

The invitation letter for the Saturn Award was also within Yu Dong's expectation. As an award that focuses on science fiction, fantasy, and horror, it is impossible for "The Second World" not to be shortlisted.

At the last Saturn Awards, "Jurassic Park" received eleven nominations and finally won four awards. This year's "Second World" performed even more outstandingly, receiving twelve nominations, more than "Jurassic Park".

"Park" has one more item, and all the awards that can be nominated have been nominated.

Moreover, the two items of Best Science Fiction Movie and Best Special Effects have basically been included in the bag, and there is no rival for these two items.

The Saturn Award ceremony will be held on June 26th, and Yu Dong will definitely not attend. He has no plans to go to the United States in the near future, and he is not very interested in this award.

But he might go to England in the summer, because the questionnaire Jimmy created was in full swing in England during this time.

…

"Benny, is Manchester fun? You seem to have grown a lot taller."

At the gate of Harrow School, Charlie hugged his good friend and asked him how he was doing with a smile. They were both students of Harrow School and spent six years together.

But after graduating from high school, Benny went to Manchester to study drama, while Charlie went to the London School of Economics and Political Science to study economics.

This time, he finally caught up with Benny and had some time, so Charlie asked him out.

As Charlie said, Benny has grown taller. He was shorter than Charlie before, but now he is the same height. The key is that he is very thin, so when Charlie saw him from a distance just now, he felt that he was taller than himself.

.

Benny said with a smile, "There are many factories there, nothing else special. You haven't changed at all, just like before."

He pointed to the gate of Harrow School again, "Just like Harrow School, do we want to go in and take a look now?"

"There's nothing interesting to see." Charlie took Benny's arm and walked in another direction, "There is an event in the bookstore these two days, so we should go and have a look."

"What activity?" Benny asked.

"Have you seen "The Second World"?"

"Are you talking about a movie or a novel?"

"Listening to what you said, you should know YU."

Benny smiled and nodded, "Of course, I also bought his new book "Fatal Identity"."

"I bought it too, but I plan to buy another one today."

"Why?" Benny looked curious, "Is there anything special about buying today?"

"I heard that among the new batch of books, there is a form. As long as you fill out the form and send it to the publisher or hand it over to the bookstore, you may be able to have YU come to London to hold a book signing."

Benny raised his eyebrows. His eyebrows were slender and his brow bones were prominent. If he raised it casually, he felt as if his eyebrows were going to fly out. "Really?"

Charlie smiled and said, "Of course it's true. When I passed by the bookstore just now, I saw a lot of people filling out forms. If I hadn't been in a hurry to come to you, I would have bought it just now. What do you think, do you want to come with me?

Buy a copy and make a contribution to our London borough."

Benny scratched his head and said, "I was wondering if I should contribute a form to Manchester. After all, I spend more time there."

Charlie rolled his eyes, "Benny, you traitor."

"Haha, let's go and see what's going on with that form first."

The two rode bicycles to a relatively large bookstore nearby. At this time, the hall was full of people, many of whom were holding a form in their hands... In fact, many people were holding more than one form in their hands.

One table represents one book, which means that many people have bought more than one book. Of course, everyone is relatively restrained, and basically no one buys too many, only two or three at most.

Compared with those movie fans and music fans, these book fans are much more sensible.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Benny felt a little emotional.

He paid attention to YU's books when they first entered the UK. It can be said that he is one of the first regular readers of YU in the UK.

YU was not well-known in the UK before. Although his book sales were good, it was only good, and his reputation was far less than it is now.

The current grand occasion is due to the release of "The Second World".

Since "Second World" became popular in the UK, the original work has also become popular. Regardless of whether they usually read science fiction or not, people will go to bookstores to buy a copy of "Second World" or a copy of "Resident Evil".

In the UK, this kind of thing is very normal. After "Schindler's List" was released last year, the book "Schindler's List" became a best-seller and stayed on the best-seller list for a year. It is still on the list now.

Of course, in addition to the effect of the movie, it is also inseparable from the marketing of major booksellers. At that time, before the movie "Second World" was released, Benny could often read about "Second World" in newspapers.

》news, and basically every news item will mention the original work.

Every time I mention the original work, I will always introduce how best-selling YU’s book is in the United States and how popular it is with American readers. The reason why I write this report is because the editor knows that the British do this.

Not only that, many bookstores at that time also placed advertisements and placed YU's books in the most conspicuous places in the bookstores.

Therefore, in just a few months, YU became the most famous writer in the UK.

Now that I heard that YU is coming to hold a book signing event, readers are certainly very motivated.

In fact, readers are highly motivated. They not only want to see YU, but this questionnaire activity has become a kind of competition, spreading from the reader group to the fan group.

When the "Second World" movie was released before, fans in some cities were very dissatisfied. This time they finally found a chance to win back the victory, and of course they didn't want to miss it.

Especially there are so many teams in London, but none of them can appear in the movie, so this time, no matter they are mortal enemies or whatever, everyone is willing to work together to bring YU over first.

It's just that it's not that easy for teams from the same city to join forces. It was okay at first, but then Arsenal fans discovered that Chelsea fans actually indicated on the form that the autograph signing must be in southwest London, so they stopped.

I also specified that I want the autograph session to be held in North London.

The fans of Tottenham, another team in North London, were naturally not to be outdone. They decided to put their mortal enemy aside first and followed the Arsenal fans in requesting that the autograph session be held in North London.

The civil war is raging here in London, but Manchester can’t stand it any longer. What’s the matter? You have so many big clubs that you are awesome? You think that the autograph session will definitely be in your London? But you have divided it into the southeast, northwest, and northwest.

Manchester United and Manchester City are working together to do what they want, and they also call on the fans to drag YU to Manchester.

That's how things began to slowly become outrageous. Even Jimmy didn't expect such a situation to happen. He really just wanted to do a simple marketing campaign at the beginning and had no intention of provoking fans of various teams.

Emotions.

If he knew fans were so useful, he would have made a fuss about it a long time ago. The situation would probably be even more outrageous than it is now.

Mainly as an American, it is difficult for Jimmy to understand the British football culture.

…

Jimmy doesn't understand British football culture, just like Yu Dong doesn't understand why Wang Hailin's novels are so poorly written.

Yu Dong looked at the manuscript of more than 50,000 words in his hand, and the word Sichuan was wrinkled between his eyebrows.

Wang Hailin stood nearby, not daring to move. He knew the situation was not good by looking at Yu Dong's expression.

After a long while, Yu Dong put the manuscript on the table, then gently pressed his hand on the manuscript and said, "Have you ever shown this novel to others?"

Wang Hailin shook his head, "No, I came over as soon as possible. I thought I would write half of it first and show it to Brother Dong. If it doesn't work, I can change it earlier."

"I suggest you go back and finish writing it." Yu Dong said.

"This..." Wang Hailin didn't quite understand, "Brother Dong, what you mean is that this novel is not bad, can you continue writing it?"

Yu Dong did not answer, but just said, "Listen to me and go back and write it out according to your own ideas."

"If it doesn't work, isn't this work in vain?" Wang Hailin muttered.

Yu Dong squinted his eyes and looked at him, "Tell me, what does it mean to work in vain? Does it mean that as soon as your novel is written, it will be sought after by thousands of people, and all publishers and directors will come to you?

Isn’t it a waste of work?”

"I'm not like that..."

Wang Hailin wanted to defend himself, but was interrupted by Yu Dong, "Then what do you think? Tell me. Do you know why I asked you to continue writing? It's because I want to read a story like this.

Can you continue writing the plot? If you are a cook, this novel is just a dish. You just throw all the ingredients at hand into the pot without caring about them. Then I would like to ask

You, when are you going to cease fire? Ah?"

Yu Dong suddenly became stern, which startled Wang Hailin. He did not dare to say anything. He only listened to Yu Dong continue to say, "You put the meat and vegetables in the pot together and stop the fire early. The vegetables are cooked, but the meat is still raw. Chi

When I clicked on the fire, the meat was not raw, but the vegetables were mushy. Tell me, how can you finish this book?"

"Even if you are great, after you finish writing, are you going to stew in a pot like this for people to eat? A novel of 100,000 words, which involves love killings, vendettas, perverted serial murderers, police, detectives, transnational crimes, and various killing methods.

Cyanide, daggers, falls, drowning, explosives.”

As he was talking, Yu Dong suddenly laughed out of anger. Although Wang Hailin was a little dazed, he did well in professional courses and was at the front of the class.

At that time, he came to tell Yu Dong that he wanted to write a novel. Although Yu Dong threatened him, he still had expectations in his heart. Who knew that he would hand over this thing to him later.

Seeing Wang Hailin dumbfounded and silent, Yu Dong handed the manuscript into his hand, sighed, and softened his tone, "I asked you to finish writing, and I also hope that after you finish writing, you will look back at it in a few days. Stand

Look at your novel from another perspective, so that you can find the problem. This is a process, and I have experienced it before. Don’t bring your ideas for writing scripts and essays into it. Later, you can use an ordinary

Look at it from a reader’s perspective and think about what kind of novel this is.”

"I understand, thank you Brother Dong." Wang Hailin said angrily, then took the manuscript and left.

After he left, Yu Dong found a pen and prepared to write down the specific issues that appeared in Wang Hailin's novel and show it to him next time.

But as soon as he picked up the pen and started writing, Feng Ming walked in in a hurry and said with a smile, "Old Yu, I just saw that boy Wang Hailin leaving here. It doesn't look right. I'm about to cry. Look for me."

Is he in trouble?"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "It's good if he doesn't cause trouble for me, how can I still cause trouble for him?" Yu Dong curled his lips and teased Feng Ming again, "Feng Ming

The director is here, what are you doing?"
