Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

Yu Hongguang and the others arrived in Yanjing at three o'clock in the afternoon, and Yu Dongqing's original plan to take her daughter out to play was also ruined.

After Yu Tongtong got up from her sleep, she felt bored after watching TV for a while, and pestered her father to tell her a story.

Yu Dongqing said helplessly: "Tongtong, you are already in the third grade and will grow up to be a big girl soon. You still want dad to tell you fairy tales?"

"No, I like to hear it. Tell me." The little girl took Yu Dongqing's arm and acted coquettishly.

Yu Dongqing was a little embarrassed.

I really don’t know many fairy tales.

"How about I teach you Kung Fu Panda?" Yu Dongqing suddenly had an idea.

"What? Pandas know Kung Fu?!" Yu Tongtong looked at her father in surprise.

"of course!"

"Okay, okay, I like martial arts and watching pandas, that's great!"

Yu Tongtong took off her shoes and climbed onto the sofa, snuggled up next to Yu Dongqing, and listened to her father telling stories.

“The story takes place a long time ago in ancient China, and it starts with a giant panda named Po who likes to roll around and roll around.

It is said that the panda Po is an apprentice in a noodle shop. Although he is clumsy, he can barely find a job, but Po daydreams without any inhibitions every day, dreaming that one day he can compete with stars in the world of kung fu. The big guys have a pinnacle battle."

Yu Dongqing was talking about the original time and space animated film "Kung Fu Panda" shot by American directors Mark Osborne and John Stephenson.

This movie won an Academy Award and has a lot of fans in China.

Yu Dongqing was only in her twenties at the time. She had gone to the cinema several times and watched pirated CDs, so she remembered it quite clearly.

Of course I don’t remember the plot completely, so don’t just make it up orally.

Anyway, fairy tales don’t require any logic.

Yu Tongtong listened with great interest.

The whole morning passed like this. After lunch, Yu Dongqing drove his daughter to his father-in-law's house in Houhai. Later, he would go to the high-speed rail station to pick up his third uncle and his party.

I drove to BJ West Station in Fengtai, parked the car in the underground parking lot, and received a call from Luo Yun within two minutes.

"Holly, I'm already here, where are you?"

"Didn't you rest at home and ask Yang Liu to pick me up?" Yu Dongqing felt strange.

"Uncle San and the people from your hometown are coming over. Why don't I come to pick you up?"

Ah?

This third uncle's voice is so affectionate.

When Yu Dongqing arrived not far from the station exit, he saw Luo Yun wearing a light gray coat.

"I didn't ask Yang Liu to come over. Today is New Year's Day so I should let the girl rest." Luo Yun explained.

Yu Dongqing nodded.

Yang Liu is a good girl. Since the studio was established more than a year ago, she works diligently and quickly. She has become Luo Yun's right-hand assistant and has been promoted to agent assistant.

Not long after, the exit of the station was crowded with people, and Yu Dongqing saw his third uncle and several others of similar age following in the crowd.

"Third uncle." Yu Dongqing shouted loudly.

"Hey" Yu Hongguang walked over with a smile, followed by fellow villagers who came together.

"Third uncle, dear uncles and aunts, this is Luo Yun, my agent." Yu Dongqing introduced everyone with a smile, then paused and added: "She is also my girlfriend."

"Third uncle, hello to all aunts and uncles." Luo Yun also said hello quickly, with a shy look on her face, but she was happy in her heart.

This is the first time Yu Dongqing has said that she is his girlfriend in public and in front of his relatives!

"Okay, okay" Yu Hongguang responded quickly.

But I felt a little proud in my heart.

"Look, am I right? This kid Dongqing is really in love with this woman!"

It was the first time for other fellow villagers to meet Luo Yun, and they couldn't help but praise her. The boss of the Yu family had good vision and had found another beautiful woman.

With this figure, this face, and this outfit, she looks like a movie star.

"Luo Yun has booked a hotel for everyone. He will take everyone there now. Follow me and get in the car." Yu Dongqing greeted.

The hotel they booked is near the East Third Ring Road, not far from the CCTV headquarters building, and it is convenient for them to rehearse every day.

Of course, the quality of the hotel cannot be compared with that of a five-star hotel, but it is quite clean. After making arrangements, Yu Dongqing took a rest and invited everyone to go to the Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant on Guangqumenwai Street for dinner.

How can you come to Yanjing without eating roast duck?

Seven people gathered around a table. In addition to roast duck, there were also squirrel mandarin fish, brown sugar glutinous rice cake, oyster sauce lettuce, etc. Of course, they had to drink.

"Dongqing caught a cold today and can't drink while driving today, so I'll drink for him." Luo Yun held the wine glass and smiled.

gab? When did I catch a cold?

Besides, if I drive, will you drive too?

Are you looking for a driver?

Yu Dongqing thought to herself.

But looking at Luo Yun's behavior, she didn't want him to drink more today.

Alcohol harms the body.

You are not young anymore, you must protect your body, ah?

Luo Yun told him this.

no way.

Unexpectedly, Luo Yun had a pretty good drinking capacity. She walked around with a wine glass and toasted to the uncles and aunts present, and received a round of applause.

The woman Dongqing found is pretty good.

Can get on the stage!

After dinner, everyone was sent back to the hotel. It was already eight o'clock when they were done, and Yu Dongqing and Luo Yun said goodbye and left.

On the way back, Yu Dongqing looked at Luo Yun, who was blushing in the passenger seat, and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Luo Yun turned her head and looked at Yu Dongqing, smiled sweetly, and said, "Dongqing, will you stay at my place tonight?"

"Not tonight, I promise Tongtong that I will take her home tonight."

"Hey" Luo Yun sighed quietly and said nothing more.

Seeing Luo Yun like this, Yu Dongqing said, "I'll come over during the day tomorrow."

"Forget it. Tongtong has to do homework at home tomorrow, so you have to accompany her. Let's wait until she goes to school."

"Okay." Yu Dongqing agreed.

"I'll go to the hotel tomorrow to see if they need any help. There are too many actors in the Spring Festival Gala, and the CCTV program team probably won't be able to take care of them in detail. Your third uncle and the others all come from rural areas and they probably won't be used to it." Luo Yun added.

According to what Yu Hongguang said, we will go to CCTV for rehearsal tomorrow.

"Thanks a lot."

"It's nothing, I have nothing to do anyway."

Uncle San and his Huayin Old Opera Troupe started rehearsing, and as expected, their upright, high-pitched, majestic and heroic singing won praises.

Seeing that the audition was successful, it was possible to officially enter rehearsals as one of the programs, but unexpectedly there were twists and turns in the middle.

It turns out that the opera program that was eliminated by the CCTV program team was also a local opera. When the local leaders heard this, how could it be done?

This is the best opportunity to promote local cultural traditions and cannot be lost.

So I personally came to Yanjing and used all kinds of connections to hope that the show would not be canceled and that the show would be given another chance. Perhaps the few singing actors were greatly stimulated and actually became more and more exciting in the later performances.

This puts the program director in a difficult position.

Let the Huayin Laoqiang Troupe leave?

Somewhat reluctant.

Two opera programs at the same time?

Time does not allow.

If it really doesn't work, we can only reluctantly let the Huayin Laoqiang Troupe leave.
