Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

Such a hot day?

Yu Dongqing looked at the bright sun outside and frowned.

"What's going on?" Yu Dongqing asked.

"We had a conversation at the College Student Film Festival a few days ago about my new movie." Wang Dongsheng was a little hesitant in speaking: "Mr. Yu, I couldn't explain it clearly on the phone. Can we talk in person? It won't take you long."

Yu Dongqing probably knew what he was going to talk about.

Yu Dongqing admires his talent very much. Also, is the film he made about a mine as shocking as "The Blind Shaft" in that time and space?

He was a little curious.

So he said, "When you have time, where do you think we can chat?"

"Do you live near Rending Lake Park? Then let's go to the park and find a shady place. I'll be waiting at the entrance of the park in ten minutes, okay?"

"OK."

Yu Dongqing didn't change her clothes. She was wearing a T-shirt, shorts, and sandals as she slowly walked out of the community and walked to the park entrance. She saw Wang Dongsheng standing at the park entrance with a briefcase under his arm, his face covered in sweat.

Only then did Yu Dongqing realize that Wang Dongsheng looked much darker than last year.

"Mr. Yu, I'm sorry to have you come out on such a hot day." Wang Dongsheng apologized first.

"You're welcome, let's go in and chat. There's a small teahouse inside to cool off."

The two entered the park and came to the small teahouse. It was noon, and there were few people in the park and it seemed very quiet.

Yu Dongqing ordered two cups of herbal tea, and Wang Dongsheng picked up the cup and took a big sip. He was a little anxious, choked, and kept turning his head and coughing.

"Sorry, sorry."

Wang Dongsheng apologized repeatedly, but in the end he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of phlegm that turned out to be thick black.

"Director Wang, why is this happening? Have you seen a doctor?" Yu Dongqing said in surprise.

"No, it doesn't matter." Wang Dongsheng wiped his mouth with a napkin and explained, "I went to see him. The doctor said that he had inhaled too much coal dust and he will be fine after a while."

After saying that, he smiled again: "The environment there is terrible, there is nothing we can do."

Why.

Yu Dongqing didn't say anything, just sighed softly.

"Mr. Yu, let me just tell you that your time is valuable. I am looking for you this time about my new movie. I really have no other choice, so I am looking for your help."

"Is that the film that reflects the life of mine workers?" Yu Dongqing asked.

"Um."

"Do you need me to write a theme song?"

"No, I only used one soundtrack for this movie, so I don't dare to trouble you." Wang Dongsheng smiled: "I need money."

"money?"

"Yes, it has been finalized and entered post-production, but the funds have been used up. I begged my grandpa and grandma to find a lot of money, but no one invested, so I had to ask you to come here."

"You didn't find Li Wan?"

"I asked him, but he refused directly."

Li Wan's attitude was expected by Yu Dongqing. Li Wan originally told him about this matter. Li Wan had originally advised Wang Dongsheng not to make the film. How could he invest now?

"How much have you invested now? How much is still missing?" Yu Dongqing thought for a while and asked.

"Five million to ten thousand, right? It's all my personal funds. I guess I'm still short of at least one million."

Damn it!

Did you spend all the 5 million you made on the last movie?

Yu Dongqing sighed slightly in her heart after hearing this.

"How about this, let me watch the film first?"

"Okay, okay, I've saved it on my phone, but it's a bit messy before it's fully edited." Wang Dongsheng quickly took out his phone, clicked on a video and handed it to Yu Dongqing.

Putting it on the tea seat, Yu Dongqing looked at it quietly.

This movie is called "The Day I Digged Coal in the Mine", and it is indeed very similar to "The Blind Shaft" directed by Li Yang in that time and space!

The film has a very dark tone and feels very depressing.

Although it is summer now, Yu Dongqing can still see the slightest bit of coldness seeping out of the film.

The structure of the film is very simple. It describes the story directly and straightforwardly without much suspense, but it can catch the audience's attention very well and tell it leisurely and eloquently.

Just like the original movie "The Blind Shaft" from that time and space, the shots are bold and explicit, yet so real.

Yu Dongqing also noticed that one of the male protagonists in the film, the young man named Liu Xiaogen, was honest and honest. Although he doesn't look like Wang Baoqiang from the original time and space, his temperament is very similar.

"The Blind Shaft" is the first movie starring Wang Baoqiang, and he won the Best Newcomer Award at the Wanwan Golden Horse Award, which shows that his strength is indeed extraordinary.

Because the film was not fully edited, it was a bit scattered and long, but Yu Dongqing still finished watching it.

"Mr. Yu, what do you think of the photo?" Wang Dongsheng asked cautiously.

"Black, vulgar, yellow." Three words popped out of Yu Dongqing's mouth.

Wang Dongsheng became anxious when he heard this: "Mr. Yu, you can't just look at the surface, this is reality! Real reality, just because you don't take pictures doesn't mean it doesn't exist!"

Seeing Wang Dongsheng's anxious look, Yu Dongqing laughed.

"I'm not saying it's not a good film, but have you ever thought about the chances of your making a film like this passing review?"

Wang Dongsheng was silent for a moment and shook his head: "To be honest, it is unlikely that he will pass the trial."

"Then why are you still filming?!"

Wang Dongsheng fell into silence again.

Does he want to do an online drama? Yu Dongqing guessed.

Nowadays, policies have also been tightened, and online dramas that have not been censored are not allowed. Moreover, films like his are probably the kind that are well-received but not popular, and the platform may not buy them.

Yu Dongqing looked at him and suddenly thought of something: "Director Wang, do you want to take the film to overseas exhibitions privately?!"

Wang Dong was stunned for a moment, he indeed thought so! But I never mentioned it to anyone.

Seeing Yu Dongqing ask, he still nodded.

"I advise you not to do this." Yu Dongqing leaned back to make himself more comfortable: "If you do this, you will definitely be banned and die miserably."

"But, but" Wang Dongsheng looked painful.

Why hadn't he considered this issue?

But he was not willing to let the film he made, which he spent almost all his money on, be thrown into obscurity in a corner until no one cared about it in the end.

Seeing Wang Dongsheng like this, Yu Dongqing sighed again.

He admired the talent of the man in front of him very much. Cinemas can't just be commercial blockbusters and main themes, they also need such films.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Director Wang, if you believe me, just copy this film to me first, and I will find someone to help you check it to see if there is a possibility of a public performance."

"I believe you!" Wang Dongsheng said hurriedly: "But the film is not finished yet."

"It doesn't matter, some branches have nothing to do with the overall situation."

Wang Dongsheng said that after he returned, he sent the video to Yu Dongqing's QQ mailbox.

He really wanted to ask Yu Dongqing which boss he went to, but it was difficult to ask since the other party didn't speak.

After the two broke up in the park, Yu Dongqing returned home and received a video from Wang Dongsheng just before dinner time in the afternoon.

Yu Dongqing looked at it again.

The evil of human nature.

Under certain circumstances, people's evil becomes even worse.

After a while, he picked up the phone and wanted to call Jin Yunfeng.
