Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

Yesterday was New Year's Eve. The north wind blew all day, and in the evening it started to snow.

Yu Dongqing and her family were sitting in the warm main room, with the charcoal fire burning brightly, eating the eight major steamed bowls of Guanzhong dishes made by her mother: braised chicken, short crispy pork, and steamed pork with rice flour. Of course, she couldn't forget to watch the Spring Festival Gala, and sent it to her friends by the way. Information greetings.

First, my father-in-law, mother-in-law, and my sister-in-law Meimei paid New Year greetings to each other in the family group, and even grabbed red envelopes, which were not very happy despite the denomination.

Then I exchanged greetings with Liu Yimin and other old friends, and also received calls from Wu Lan, Tang Guang and others. Luo Yun even made a special call from Xiangjiang to congratulate me on the New Year.

The director and producer of the "Hello, Teacher" crew also called to greet each other. Director Wang Dongsheng sounded very excited.

"Holly, according to the latest information, the pre-sale box office revenue at Maoyan has reached 20 million. In several major theater chains in the Yanjing area, our film scheduling rate can reach 5.9% tomorrow!"

"Congratulations, congratulations." Yu Dongqing said with a smile on the phone.

"It should be a joint joy, a joint joy," Wang Dongsheng said with a smile: "Thanks to your theme song for attracting traffic, so many people want to watch it."

"Now that the audience has come in, whether the reputation will rise later depends on the quality of the films you make." Yu Dongqing said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"As long as the audience comes in, I guarantee they won't regret their money!" Wang Dongsheng changed his usual caution and looked very confident.

Ah?

Yu Dongqing has calculated that the film scheduling rate of 5.9% is not high for those so-called blockbusters, but for a low-cost film like "Teacher Love", it is already not low.

It can be compared with the original animated film "Bear Bears: Metamorphosis" in the Spring Festival. The final official scheduling rate was about 6.5%. The number of screenings was about 59 per game and the average ticket price of "Bear Bears: Metamorphosis". 35 yuan, and the final box office revenue reached 600 million!

The film market sizes of the two time and space are almost the same. Even the average per game and average ticket price of "Hello Teacher" are lower than "Bear Bears". As long as the reputation does not suffer a Waterloo-like decline in the later period, the box office should be no problem reaching 300 million.

The cost was less than 10 million, and the box office was 300 million. It was a huge profit. No wonder Li Wan was so happy.

If so, does your first investment count as a success?

Yu Dongqing was very happy and drank a few more drinks with her father, and finally became drunk.

When we opened the door the next morning, the snow started to clear, the sun showed its smiling face, and everything was covered in silver, which was particularly enchanting.

Yu Tongtong ran out of the yard excitedly and played with the children in the village, making snowmen and having snowball fights. Yu Dongqing had nothing to do. After lunch, she took the DV and was going to go to the country stage in the village committee compound to watch Uncle San and his gang perform an opera. Filming.

But just now I heard the sound of gongs and drums not far away, and my mobile phone rang in my pocket. I took it out and saw that it was a call from Meiliang, so I answered it.

He was just about to wish him a Happy New Year, but the first words he said left him stunned.

"Brother-in-law, I'm taking the high-speed train and I'm almost at Huashan North Station. Come pick me up quickly!"

"What? Are you coming to Huayin?"

"Yeah, why don't you come pick me up?"

"Do your parents know? Do they agree with you?"

"Hehe, I ran away secretly."

I@##￥%￥

Yu Dongqing was stunned and didn't know what to say.

"Brother-in-law, come quickly, don't let me get out of the car and wait for you." Meiliang urged on the phone.

"Okay, I'll be right there." Yu Dongqing woke up, hung up the phone and walked back.

While walking on the road, I met my daughter Yu Tongtong who was having fun with a group of children. I thought of something, pulled her aside and asked: "Tongtong, do you know that your aunt wants us to live here?"

The daughter didn't seem surprised at all and said, "Yes, my aunt told me before she left. She said she would play with us and she said not to tell you."

me.

Yu Dongqing couldn't blame her daughter for this, let alone the Chinese New Year, so she had to walk home alone.

It was a big deal for my sister-in-law to come over, and Yu Dongqing had to make it clear to her parents.

In the main room, the two elders were warming themselves by the fire, cracking melon seeds and watching TV. When their son said that his deceased wife's sister was coming, both pairs of eyes immediately looked at him.

"Dad, Mom, I didn't know she came here secretly." Yu Dongqing explained the cause and effect in detail, showing an innocent look.

"No, I'll call my parents-in-law and find a way to send her back." Yu Dongqing finally said.

Doesn't this seem appropriate?

During the Chinese New Year, a girl comes all the way here alone, why don’t you drive her away?

But after coming, what does this mean?

In the end, it was my father who made the final decision:

"Since this girl is coming, she is an honored guest. We must treat her well so as not to say that our Yu family is stingy."

"Dongqing, go find your cousin and pick him up in his car. Fenglan, clean up a side room and make it clean and use new quilts!"

"Okay, I'll go clean it up." Liu Fenglan stood up, looked at her son again, sighed slightly and went out.

Yu Dongqing also hurried out and called his cousin Yu Liuqing. When he heard that Yu Dongqing was picking up his sister-in-law in a car, he had an ambiguous look on his face.

"Cousin, your sister-in-law is very nice to you. She even comes to see you during the Chinese New Year."

"Come on, Liu Qing, don't be ridiculous, I have a headache."

"Okay, I won't say anything anymore. The car is parked in my yard. You have the car key." Yu Liuqing took the key from his waistband and handed it to Yu Dongqing, but the next sentence made Yu Dongqing not sure what to say. .

"Cousin, I brought your sister-in-law here that day to let us brothers see if she is as beautiful as the original sister-in-law."

Yu Dongqing hurried to her cousin's house, greeted her second uncle and second aunt, and then drove the white BYD straight to the county seat.

Huashan North Station is in the northern part of the county. It is not far from Beizhai Village, about less than 30 kilometers, and it takes half an hour to drive there.

As soon as Yu Dongqing's car parked in the parking space next to the station square, she saw that the passengers had already exited the station. Among them, a girl wearing a red down jacket, a pink wool hat, and a white scarf was dragging a suitcase and carrying a travel bag. Extraordinarily eye-catching.

Yu Dongqing waved to her, smiled and went over to help carry the backpack.

"Brother-in-law, Happy New Year!" Mingliang said happily.

"Happy New Year!" Yu Dongqing said, and helped the girl put her luggage in the trunk, then sat in the driver's cab again, with Meili sitting in the passenger seat.

Seeing that Yu Dongqing didn't start the car, he urged: "Brother-in-law, drive the car."

"What's the hurry? Call your parents first." Yu Dongqing took out his mobile phone.

When the father-in-law and mother-in-law were leisurely drinking tea at home in the courtyard house, when they heard the call from Yu Dongqing, Mingliang secretly ran to Huayin and was stunned for a long time without making a sound.

In the end, Yu Dongqing explained the detailed process, and Mingliang picked up the microphone again, coquettishly and explained, saying that she would rush back immediately after filming. The two elders reluctantly agreed and told them to pay attention to safety.

After hanging up the phone, the atmosphere in the room was a little dull.

Looking at his unhappy wife, Ming Hanwen comforted her: "Young people like to play, just let her go. As long as Dongqing is here, nothing will happen to her."

"But... hey..." Liu Huiyan didn't know what to say, and finally sighed quietly.
