Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

Meili was surprised when she heard this. She raised her head and looked at Yu Dongqing: "Brother-in-law, you are an investor, so aren't all the profits supposed to be yours?"

"Don't you want to share some points?" Yu Dongqing said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Meiliang hesitated for a moment, showed a sweet smile, and said, "I want to."

After saying that, he quickly added: "Actually, it's not me, it's mainly my friends. After working so hard for more than ten days in such a hot day, I only received an average of 500 yuan each. I feel really embarrassed."

"Brother Zhang Yang and the others didn't give them a penny. It doesn't matter if the movie doesn't make money, but it made so much. Mine will be exempted. You can give some bonuses to us friends as appropriate." That's the best." Mei Liang finally said.

"Then how much do you think is appropriate?" Yu Dongqing asked.

"You are the investor, you are the big boss, you have the final say." Meili smiled and kicked the ball to Yu Dongqing again.

Yu Dongqing thought for a while: "Well, for your friends, I will give you a total of 200,000 to distribute it yourself. As for my three buddies, each of them will receive 100,000, but it will be given in your name. They will do it anyway. I don’t know who specifically invested.”

"Yeah, I understand." Meili nodded quickly.

If Yu Dongqing gives it to Zhang Yang, they may not accept it.

After seeing Meili finish the ice cream, the two of them left the cold drink shop. Meili was about to go back to school. Yu Dongqing suddenly asked: "Meili, do you have any classes in the afternoon?"

"No, I'm in my junior year now, so I have fewer theoretical classes."

"Let's go, follow me to a place." Yu Dongqing got in the car after saying that.

"Brother-in-law, where are you going?"

"You'll know when you get there."

Dongqing drove east along Fuxing Street, then passed Chang'an Street, Jianguomen, onto the East Fourth Ring Road, and finally turned onto Yaojiayuan Road, stopping at a parking lot near Dongfang Jiye International Automobile City.

"Brother-in-law, you want to change your car?" Meimei immediately understood: "You should have changed your car a long time ago. Look at the big stars now, which one is not driving a Mercedes-Benz or a BMW? Your Camry is ten years old, right?" It’s been replaced.”

"I'm not in a hurry, I just want to buy you one." Yu Dongqing said.

"Give me?"

"As an investor, I will reward you for your outstanding directorship this time." Yu Dongqing said with a smile: "Also, didn't your sister promise to buy you a car? It's a pity that she left. This year, I have a lot of money, so Before you get married, fulfill her promise now."

When Meimei heard her sister's name, her eyes suddenly turned red.

Before my sister left, she specifically told her brother-in-law about this on her hospital bed, saying that I only have one sister, and you can take care of her if you can.

"Buy her a car. Originally, I wanted to wait until she gets married to buy her a car as a dowry, but it seems I can't wait any longer. Why don't you buy it for me?"

The brother-in-law agreed, but after his sister left, he had been depressed and didn't mention it, and naturally he wouldn't say anything about it either.

Now when I hear my brother-in-law bring up old things again, and think about how my sister looked before she left, I almost shed tears again.

Yu Dongqing quickly took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to Mingmei: "Okay. Your sister wants you to live a happy life. Why are you crying? You can choose which car to buy, but I declare that it is not a Rolls-Royce or a Bentley. , I won’t buy it for you.”

Bright tears burst into laughter.

She knew her brother-in-law was joking with him, so naturally she wouldn't buy such an expensive car.

In fact, she has long wanted to own a car of her own.

We have a very ordinary Mazda at home, but my mother usually drives it to work. When I go out, I usually take the subway or take the bus.

When I first entered college, I usually studied in school, but I didn’t feel like it. Since I entered my junior year, I had to do internships and shoot films, and often went outside the school. Sometimes I had to go to the Changping campus. I also socialized a lot. Sometimes it was really hard to do without a car. convenient.

There are not a few students in their school who buy cars. Cheng Cong, who lives in his dormitory, owns a Volkswagen Polo. I heard it was a gift from his boyfriend.

I was too embarrassed to ask my family for it. After all, it cost a lot of money to go to the Central Theater and pursue the path of art.

I didn’t expect my brother-in-law to fulfill his promise and buy himself one!

Meili was naturally happy, but it was not appropriate to ask her brother-in-law to pay. If her mother found out, she would be nagging her.

She suddenly thought of an idea: "How about this, brother-in-law, let me borrow the money to buy the car and pay it back to you when I make money from filming in the future, okay?"

"Okay, it's up to you." Yu Dongqing didn't care.

So Mingliang happily followed Yu Dongqing to the International City.

"Brother-in-law, buy a car worth about 100,000 yuan, as long as it can be used for transportation." Meili expressed her opinion.

"How can that be done? You are a girl after all, and you are not an aunt who drives to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. At least you can do it, right?"

Buying a car is of course tedious, but I am very happy. Mingmei visited several 4S stores and finally selected a BYD Qin PRO new energy DM super version. The total cost was less than 250,000.

Originally, Yu Dongqing saw that she liked new energy vehicles so much and suggested that she buy a Tesla or NIO, but the girl refused.

"I only drive in the city and don't go far, so this car is fine."

Yu Dongqing didn't insist and quickly went through the formalities.

Seeing the girl driving away happily, Yu Dongqing felt very happy.

Now that I'm here and don't have to worry about walking around, I should replace my Camry.

After a long while, I fell in love with the latest model of the Mercedes-Benz GLE series SUV. The total cost was about 1.1 million. It was already in the luxury car series, but it was still much cheaper than the Maybach S500 I drove in the original time and space.

It’s enough. It’s more convenient to buy an SUV so you can take your daughter on a self-driving trip when you have time.

But the car dealership didn't have white in stock, so Yu Dongqing paid a deposit of 10,000 yuan and would pick up the goods in half a month.

The copyright fee from Station B was quickly transferred to Yu Dongqing's account. Yu Dongqing immediately transferred 500,000 yuan to Meili and asked her to handle it according to the method discussed at the cold drink shop.

That night, Yu Dongqing went to pick up her daughter home on time, drove to Yanzi Hutong in Houhai, and found Mingliang's new energy car with a temporary camera hanging on it.

When Yu Dongqing entered the yard, she heard Meimei talking to her parents about selling the film rights. Of course, the two parents were very happy that their daughter's first short film could win an award and make money.

However, when he heard that his daughter asked his brother-in-law to borrow money, he immediately became unhappy. Especially Liu Huiyan, when she saw Yu Dongqing come in, she immediately said in a reproachful tone: "Dongqing, why did you lend money to Meimei to buy a car? She still A student doesn’t have that need.”

"You can't say that." Yu Dongqing explained with a smile: "Nowadays, there are not many college students who drive. What's more, people like her who are engaged in literary and artistic work have to run around, so it is necessary to have a car."

"Besides, she has foreign debts, which puts her under pressure. She will make good money after graduation. This is also motivation."

"this?"

It seems to make some sense.

"Okay, Huiyan, don't worry about this." Father-in-law Ming Hanwen also came to persuade: "Young people today are different from us back then. Cars have become a necessity. That good friend of mine, his son wants Let him buy a car, and don’t insist on BMW for other cars!”

"It's all your fault!" Liu Huiyan scolded her husband, unable to say anything else.

She directly suspected that this car was not bought by her daughter with borrowed money, but was given by Yu Dongqing!

Why.

Seeing that his father-in-law and mother-in-law stopped talking about it, Yu Dongqing brought up the matter of bonus distribution.

"After my friends received the bonus, they were all very happy and said they would be willing to help me if I make a movie next time!"

"Did Brother Zhang Yang and the others give them to you?"

"Yes, Brother Yi Ming even called and said that he is just an extra and there is no need to give any bonus. He is just a favor. I said that he will be treated equally."

"That's good."

Time soon arrived in late June, and summer in Yanjing arrived. The weather was getting hotter day by day. Yu Dongqing picked up her children in the morning and evening, exercised, or chatted with old friends. She rarely went out after lunch.

After taking a nap at noon that day, I suddenly received a call from Wang Dongsheng.

"Mr. Yu, are you free? I want to talk to you about something."
