Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

"Hey" Liu Yimin sighed on the phone: "I remember how good a couple you were back then. It's a pity that the talented man and the beautiful woman have to go back."

"The past is in the past. Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I still have something to do. I'll help score the micro-documentary that Meimei shot. I'll see you in the evening!"

"You guys are just nice to my sister-in-law. See you tonight!" Liu Yimin said and hung up the phone.

Yu Dongqing reopened the software and watched the documentary produced by Meiliang. It felt good, so he didn't think much about it and directly used the soundtrack clips of the "Beautiful China" documentary from the original time and space.

Anyway, this micro-documentary is less than half an hour long, and the background music that needs to appear in it is only about ten minutes, which is enough.

After writing it, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon. Yu Dongqing sent it directly to the bright QQ mailbox, and then drove straight to Donglaishun.

In the past few days since returning to Beijing, Yu Dongqing has spent every night at the wine table. Everyone is busy and rarely gets together. They all keep in touch by phone or WeChat. Now he takes advantage of the Chinese New Year to walk around more, and it turns out that after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month , one night after taking a shower, I happened to stand on the floor scale and look at it.

Damn it

My weight has increased by eight pounds since before the Chinese New Year! I've started to have a tummy.

It seems that he needs to lose weight and exercise. He doesn't want to become a middle-aged greasy man with a big belly.

Fortunately, the Spring Festival has passed, my daughter has already entered school, and the house near Rending Lake Park has been renovated and vacant for two months, so I can move there.

Looking at the old lunar calendar to find an auspicious day, Yu Dongqing found a moving company to move the furniture in the house to a newly renovated house. The furniture and electrical appliances were not replaced, but all the computers, amplifiers and speakers were replaced with new ones.

I specially bought a set of TANNOY professional audio amplifier set made in Denmark, including passive audio, amplifier, CD player, vinyl record player, etc. It is worth more than 400,000 yuan. It is also the most expensive electrical equipment in the home.

In the future, if composing, editing, etc. have to be done at home, then we need to do it better.

Yu Dongqing's life became regular.

I get up at seven o'clock every morning to make breakfast. After eating with my daughter, I send her to school.

There is no need to take care of his daughter during the day. The aunt hired from the housekeeping company is responsible for taking her daughter to Yanzi Hutong in Houhai. At around 8 o'clock every night, he just goes to Yanzi Hutong to take her home.

Today is February 16th, which happens to be a Friday. My father-in-law’s house is quite lively. Because Meimei is also back from school for the weekend, I also asked Yu Dongqing to come over for dinner and reunite the whole family.

Yu Dongqing picked up her daughter from school and returned to Yanzi Alley, helping her carry her schoolbag. As soon as she entered the small courtyard, she heard Meili talking excitedly to her parents in the living room.

"Auntie!"

Yu Tongtong shouted.

In this family, the person the daughter is closest to is not her father Yu Dongqing, nor her grandparents, but her aunt Meimei.

Hearing Yu Tongtong's voice, Mingliang ran out and looked very happy. She hugged Yu Tongtong as usual, but she said to Yu Dongqing who was walking behind: "Brother-in-law, the micro-documentary I shot was adopted by Huangdu TV. I'm getting ready." Play it on the science and education channel!”

real?

Meili excitedly told the whole story.

It turns out that Meimei likes to play with Bilibili. How can she not put the micro-documentary she has put so much effort into making on Bilibili’s homepage?

So it was uploaded quickly. However, Huayin Laoqiang is a very niche traditional opera. Many people have never heard of it, and young people are not interested in opera, so the click rate and number of viewers are far lower than hers. Video posted before.

But she didn't care, it was just for fun anyway, as long as she was happy.

But yesterday, someone suddenly left a message on the homepage saying that he was the editor of Huangdu TV. He was very interested in this micro-documentary and wanted to buy the copyright to play it in a program called "Paike" on the TV station's science and education channel.

It mainly plays some excellent micro documentaries shot by individuals. If you are willing to contact him, please leave your contact information.

Mingliang was a little dubious at first, but later she called the Science and Education Channel of Huangdu TV to inquire about the matter. She found out that it was indeed true, and she was immediately overjoyed.

This is the first time that as a director, my work has been on TV! What's more, it's Huangdu TV!

So I was very excited to go home on the weekend and share my joy with my family.

"Congratulations, congratulations." Yu Dongqing immediately expressed his congratulations.

"Brother-in-law, you also have a lot of credit here. Not only did you appear as the interviewer, you also helped me write the soundtrack."

"The main thing is that you take good photos."

Yu Dongqing continued to compliment, but she was a little bit murmuring in her heart.

From his point of view, this micro-documentary still has some problems, but after all, it was filmed by a college student, so the requirements should not be too high.

Also, was it because Jin Yunfeng saw it accidentally because he liked Huayin's old accent?

But there is no need to delve into this.

Just be bright and happy!

During the meal, Mingliang was in high spirits and said that she was going to keep up her efforts and make another short film to participate in this year's Yanjing College Student Film Festival.

Ah?

The pace is getting bigger and bigger.

"Brother-in-law, you have to help me write the BGM and theme song, and make a friendly appearance when necessary." Meiliang made another request.

"Meimei, don't bother your brother-in-law all the time. He is also very busy." Mom Liu Huiyan stopped her immediately.

"Isn't he not working now?" Mingliang muttered, then turned to Yu Dongqing and said: "Of course it's not for nothing. If we can make money commercially after the filming, I will share it with you!"

Are you thinking about making money now?

Don't lose everything when the time comes.

Microfilms also cost money!

However, Meimei wanted to really engage in directing in the future, and making micro-movies was a good try. She wanted to support it, so she nodded and agreed.

Mingliang was happy, and said to her mother with some pride: "Look, I said, my brother-in-law will definitely agree."

"You two, father and daughter, one asked Dongqing to accompany him for photography, and the other asked him to make a movie. It's really hard for Dongqing." Liu Huiyan sighed after hearing this.

Yu Dongqing smiled and said:

"Mom, don't say that. Anyway, I don't have much to do now since I'm not at work. Running outside for dad's photography is good for your health. He's going to engage in this profession in the future. It's a good thing to make some short films now to gain experience. We should support him. ."

What a good son-in-law.

Liu Huiyan was very satisfied.

It's a pity that the eldest daughter passed away. If he finds another woman to marry, she will not be his son-in-law in the future.

Thinking of this, Liu Huiyan sighed slightly.

Yu Dongqing didn't care about the micro-movie of Meili torturing her anymore. When she needed his help, just ask. Normally, he would never ask.

The profession of director, in addition to a solid theoretical foundation, is more about experience, the accumulation and experience of life, which others cannot help.

It was mid-February, and the weather in Yanjing was warm and cold at first. Yu Dongqing went for a run along the Rending Lake after sending her children to school in the morning. She had a quick bite to eat at noon, and after a nap, she surfed the Internet on her mobile phone, or went to Rending Lake. I could stroll around and watch the old man play chess, or go chat with Zhang Yang and Liu Yimin, or go fishing. The days were very leisurely.

It was still the same today. After sending his daughter to school, he went home and changed into a set of sportswear, then went into the park and started jogging along the lakeside.

Suddenly, a phone call rang from the Bluetooth headset, and Yu Dongqing answered it, and it turned out to be a bright voice.

"Brother-in-law, what a happy event."

"What, your micro-movie is finished?" Yu Dongqing said with a smile.

"It's still early. Yes, it's great news for you. Six of your songs have been shortlisted for this year's Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards!
