Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

"What kind of relationship? It's just a normal friendship. What's wrong?"

"Everyone on the Internet says you are dating." Meili replied.

"Do you believe what those entertainment reporters say?" Yu Dongqing was angry and funny.

Meili nodded, then suddenly shook her head.

"But Wu Jingqi is quite beautiful, I feel pity for her."

"She is very beautiful. There are so many beautiful girls out there. Do you fall in love with the one you fall in love with?" Yu Dongqing asked back: "I haven't talked about it. Even if we talk about it in the future, we won't look for this star or that star."

Meili nodded again after hearing this, suddenly feeling inexplicably happy.

"Okay, let's not talk about this. Let's talk about your movie. I originally wanted to talk to you, but since we met today, I might as well tell you now."

Yu Dongqing briefly explained what Luo Yun said.

After listening to this, Meili pondered for a moment and then said: "Brother-in-law, I have seen the Zhao Yawen you mentioned in the video. She has a pretty good temperament and image, but she is not from a major, so I am a little worried."

"So you have to check it yourself, I just recommend it."

"Okay, then let her come to the audition as soon as possible. If she can't do it, don't blame me."

"How is that possible? You are the director and you have this power. Remember, casting will be your sole responsibility in the future. You have to choose the one you think is most suitable. Don't let anyone influence you!"

"Yeah, I know."

"Okay, I'm leaving." Yu Dongqing took her daughter Yu Tongtong's little hand.

"Goodbye, aunt!"

"Goodbye Tongtong!"

Yu Dongqing watched Mingliang walk into the alley, then got in the car and drove toward the Third Ring Road.

Then he drove and looked at the busy traffic in front of him, thinking about what he had just said to Meimei.

Does the director have absolute power over casting? In fact, this is just a theory.

In the original time and space, some people complained that "directors have no right to choose actors, capital does the selection."

Not to mention ordinary directors, great directors like Lao Mouzi sometimes have no choice but to do something.

For example, the movie "The Great Wall" he filmed had a lot of popular celebrities, including the heroine, and his father was the financial backer. I guess Lao Mouzi couldn't afford to offend it.

Fortunately, although the first film of this beautiful time and space went through a lot of troubles in attracting investment, even the coal boss finally got involved. Fortunately, the main actors in the film were chosen by himself.

I hope it can always be like this.

Yu Dongqing didn't worry much about the filming of the movie, including Zhao Yawen's audition. He neither went to the scene nor inquired about the results.

In the end, it was Luo Yun who told her that Zhao Yawen finally stood out among several alternative actors and played the role of Hu Xiaodie.

Yu Dongqing's life became leisurely again.

Luo Yun seemed a little busy. In addition to worrying about Zhao Yawen, Li Xing and Times, the two major record companies in Hong Kong, sent people to Yanjing to discuss the copyright sharing of new songs with the studio. In particular, Li Xing also wanted to represent Qingmang. The new album just released by the band will be released in Hong Kong, and these will take time to negotiate.

Wanwan's Blue Island Records will also send representatives to Yanjing to introduce Yu Dongqing's album to Wanwan, so Luo Yun leaves early and comes back late during this period, basically spending the whole day in the studio.

Today is Friday and I have been busy all day. I finally negotiated a record agency contract with the representatives of Lixing Records. By the time the group of people left the studio and returned to the hotel, it was already six o'clock in the evening.

"Sister Luo, is there anything else? If nothing happens, I'll go back first." Yang Liu said as he packed his things.

"You go back and everyone goes back." Luo Yun said to the people in the office: "Everyone has been working very hard recently, but don't worry, at the end of this month, I will apply to the boss to give everyone more bonuses."

"Thank you, Sister Luo!"

The office suddenly burst into cheers.

I am tired, but I am rich.

After everyone had left, Luo Yun returned to her office and sorted out the information. Although the negotiation with Li Xing was difficult, it undoubtedly provided experience for the negotiations with Beautiful Island Records in Baywan behind.

At least don't take any detours.

Seeing that the time was almost seven o'clock, Luo Yun was about to go home. At this time, her cell phone rang. When she saw that the call was from her best friend Xia Qiong, she picked it up.

"Hey, Luo Yun, where are you?"

"Where can I be? In the office."

"Oh, when did you become a workaholic? Have you eaten? I'll treat you to dinner."

"I'm not hungry."

"Then let's go have a drink at Yuejie Bar in Houhai? We haven't been there for a long time."

Luo Yun didn't want to go at first, but she had already rejected Xia Qiong's invitations to go shopping and drink coffee several times. It was not good to keep doing this, so she agreed.

"Okay. In half an hour."

"Ok, I will wait for you."

Luo Yun packed her things, left the office with her bag on her back, went downstairs, got into her BMW and quickly disappeared into the night.

Luo Yun drove to Houhai, parked the car in the parking lot, and walked to Yuejie Bar located in the middle of Bar Street.

She went in and saw Xia Qiong already sitting at the table by the window, wearing a short pleated skirt, looking very charming.

Luo Yun sat opposite her and asked the waiter for a "Houhai Sunshine" cocktail.

"Did you really just come out of the office?" Xia Qiong was a little surprised to see Luo Yun wearing an OL work skirt.

"Do you think I lied to you?" Luo Yun rolled her eyes at her: "There has been a lot going on in the studio recently. Besides, I still have to support myself. How can I not make more money?"

Xia Qiong understood what she meant.

After divorcing Jin Hai, Luo Yun had no property except her BMW car. She also moved out of the high-end Fanyue Wanguo Community in the small street outside Dongzhimen and rented a small apartment by herself.

It turned out that I still had more than one million yuan in savings, but during the Chinese New Year I invested another one million yuan in Meili's movie, so there wasn't much left.

She can earn more than 40,000 yuan per month in studio wages and bonuses, which is not a small sum for ordinary workers. However, Luo Yun, who once lived the life of a rich wife, suddenly lost a lot of quality.

Seeing Luo Yun looking a little tired under the dim light, Xia Qiong couldn't help but sigh.

As a best friend, she certainly sympathized with Luo Yun's experience, but she didn't understand her actions.

"Luo Yun, I also told you that you just agree to Jin Hai's conditions and become a couple in name only, and we each have our own thing, isn't that great?"

"Don't talk about this." Luo Yun picked up the wine glass and took a sip: "I can't accept that kind of life."

"Okay." Xia Qiong also picked up the wine glass and took a sip and suddenly asked: "Does Yu Dongqing know about your divorce?"

"I found out some time ago. It's funny to say that when he went to Xiangjiang and came back, he was on the same flight as Jin Hai. That guy told Yu Dongqing that we were divorced." Luo Yun said with a smile.

"Look, it's God's will. I asked you to tell Yu Dongqing that you were getting divorced before, but you resisted and said it wouldn't be the right time. Now you don't even know. Why are you so hesitant to express your love to others?"

"Confession?"

"Are you stupid? You are now single again, and Yu Dongqing is living alone again. Isn't this a God-given opportunity? He is now a big star, a diamond king, and you still have to support yourself with him? Why don't you hurry up and be careful? How dare you say you don't like Yu Dongqing after being snatched away by another woman?!"

this

Of course I do.

I had this thought before the divorce, but as a married woman, I couldn't act recklessly.

Now that I'm divorced, I'm free, and I can take the initiative to pursue it, but I don't know why, but I feel uneasy in my heart.

"Xia Qiong, I once listened to your words. In May last year, I went to Baiyun Temple to ask for a fortune-teller." Luo Yun thought for a while and answered.

"Ah? Did you really go? What's the result?" Xia Qiong was very curious.

"He said that Yu Dongqing and I had a romantic relationship, but unfortunately it was a bad relationship, with a beginning and an end." Luo Yun said slowly.

"Hey, do you believe in fortune telling?" Xia Qiong curled her lips.

"Didn't you tell me to go to Baiyun Temple to find a fortune teller from the Taoist Priest? Why don't you believe it?" Luo Yun asked with widened beautiful eyes.

"Hehe. I believe what sounds good, but I don't believe what doesn't sound good!"

Luo Yun was speechless.

After a while, Xia Qiong asked again: "Then what are you going to do? Are you living like this?"

"I want to go to Baiyun Temple and do it again."
