Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Yu Dongqing left her hometown and returned to Yanjing with her daughter Yu Tongtong. She originally wanted to stay a few more days, but Yu Tongtong was about to start school and had to go back to calm down.

Luo Yun didn't come back until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and immediately threw herself into work without taking any rest. One of the things she has to do now is to prepare the second album of Qingmanglu Band.

Last year, Yu Dongqing wrote several new songs, including those sung by the band on tour, as well as "I'm Going to Guilin" which was sung when she went to Guilin for a show, and "Going to Dali" which she was invited to write for Dali, as well as There are exactly ten songs including the song "Pearl of the Orient" by Xiangjiang.

The album is called "Falling in Love with a Song, Falling in Love with a City"

These songs have been released online and are loved by fans, with huge downloads. All Luo Yun has to do is to materialize them and sell physical CDs and vinyl records to meet the different needs of fans.

Of course, it is also about maximizing the profits generated by the songs.

The songs are all ready-made. Except for the fine-tuning of the arrangement in some places, it is basically none of Yu Dongqing's business. The studio will cooperate with professional companies for the specific operation of the physical CD.

Over at Mingmei, the movie has been completely completed and passed the review. It is initially scheduled to be released on April 4th. It is currently busy with promotions and rarely sees people in one day. Yu Dongqing did not participate and only left a message to fans on Weibo to appeal. Time to go see it.

Naturally, it received enthusiastic responses from fans.

"Dad Qu wrote the script? He also wrote the theme song? Then of course I have to check it out."

Of course, there are also female fans who are crazy: "Wow, my brother-in-law is so capable. He can write songs and scripts. Will he also make movies in the future?"

During this time, Yu Dongqing was completely free.

Go for a run every morning, watch the old man play chess by the Rending Lake, or occasionally find a buddy to drink tea and chat.

Of course, he would also go to Luo Yun's home, or Luo Yun would come here sometimes. There was nothing taboo about the relationship between the two being public, but Luo Yun would not stay at Yu Dongqing's place at night.

After all, I still have my daughter Yu Tongtong, so I have to pay attention to the influence.

Yu Tongtong is already in the second half of the third grade, and her grades are still mediocre no matter how much she does. Even her grandparents have lost confidence and no longer enroll their granddaughter in several classes like they did last semester, but this makes the little girl very happy. Finally, I no longer need to attend those annoying tutoring classes.

Every morning, Yu Dongqing sends her daughter to school and picks her up from her grandmother's house in Houhai at night. As long as there is nothing important, Yu Dongqing tries to do it by herself.

Tonight, Yu Dongqing picked up her daughter from Houhai. On the way home, her daughter suddenly said, "Dad, Xia Yunxing said this afternoon that his father is looking for you, and I gave him your mobile phone number."

"Xia Yunxing's father wants to find me?" Yu Dongqing was surprised to hear this.

He had never seen this man.

"Tongtong, are you bullying Xia Yunxing again and asking her father to complain to me?" Yu Dongqing suddenly thought of a question and asked with a serious face.

"No. A few days ago, he insisted on asking me to tell him "Kung Fu Panda". I got annoyed, so I hit him a few times and accidentally made him cry again. But I didn't hit him these two days. Him." The little girl said as if nothing had happened.

I # ￥%￥%……\u0026amp;

Yu Dongqing simply didn't know what to say.

Education is such a failure.

I just hope that my daughter will grow up a little bit. I heard that many "wild girls" will become gentle and quiet after entering puberty.

I hope my daughter does the same.

It seems that the other parent came to visit and he had to apologize.

The next morning, Yu Dongqing drove her daughter to school. Seeing her daughter happily running into school with her schoolbag on her back, she turned and walked towards her car. Just as she was about to get in the car, she suddenly heard a man's voice.

"Hello, are you Mr. Yu, Yu Tongtong's parent?"

Yu Dongqing looked back and saw a strange middle-aged man in his forties, wearing black-rimmed glasses and looking elegant.

"Who are you?"

"I am Xia Chunqiu, Xia Yunxing's father."

Oops

It really came to your door!

Yu Dongqing apologized hastily: "Oh, Mr. Xia, I'm sorry. My daughter is naughty and bullies your son. I'm really sorry."

Unexpectedly, the man chuckled: "Mr. Yu, you misunderstood. It's not about my son. It's normal for children to fight and make trouble."

"Mr. Xia, are you looking for me?" Yu Dongqing was a little confused.

"I heard from my son that your daughter told him a very nice fairy tale called "The Wizard of Oz" and another one called "Kung Fu Panda". Your daughter said you made it up?"

"Haha, yes, that's right, just making it up to trick a kid." Yu Dongqing said with a smile.

"I heard some of it from my son, and I found it very interesting," Xia Chunqiu said.

"You like this too?"

Xia Chunqiu smiled and said: "I am the general manager of Shengshi Graphic Publishing Co., Ltd., and this is my business card."

After Xia Chunqiu finished speaking, he took out an exquisite business card from his briefcase and handed it to Yu Dongqing.

As expected, he is the general manager of Shengwen Graphics.

Shengshi Pictures and Texts is a well-known private book publishing company in the Yanjing area in this time and space, and Yu Dongqing has heard of it.

It mainly publishes best-selling books on youth literature, but also dabbles in children's books.

"Mr. Yu, these two fairy tales have wild imagination and very interesting plots. You are really talented."

Xia Chunqiu praised Yu Dongqing, and then said: "Mr. Yu, do you want to write it? Our company is willing to publish it! We will definitely give you the best terms!"

Unexpectedly, Yu Dongqing refused: "I'm sorry, Mr. Xia, I just told my daughter Tongtong casually to make her happy. I didn't expect to write it and publish it."

Xia Chunqiu was a little disappointed after hearing this, but he was unwilling to give up: "Mr. Yu, it would be a pity not to write such a good story so that more children can hear it!"

"Sorry, I'm quite busy at work and I really don't have the time or energy to write a book."

You are very busy?

My son said that Yu Tongtong said that his father had a very leisurely day and liked to play chess with his grandfather the most!

Of course this cannot be said out loud.

Xia Chunqiu left in frustration, but before leaving, he said that if Mr. Yu is willing to write a book, please let me know. I hope we can cooperate.

Yu Dongqing agreed absentmindedly.

After Xia Chunqiu had gone far, Yu Dongqing drove back home.

To be honest, he really didn't want to sit at the computer and type, it was quite hard.

I don’t want to write, at least not now.

Besides, Xia Chunqiu drove back to his company - the third floor of an office building located on Yonghegong Street in Yanjing.

He entered his office, and within a few minutes there was a knock on the door, and a man about his age walked in.

"Old Xia, are things done?" The man sat casually at Xia Chunqiu's desk, threw one to Xia Chunqiu, and lit it himself. Within two minutes, the room was filled with smoke.

The man's name is Lu Wei, the vice president of the company and his partner. This publishing company is a joint venture between the two of them, so they share weal and woe.

"No promise." Xia Chunqiu shook his head: "He said he was busy with work and didn't want to write."

"Is he really busy? It's possible, he's a big singer."

"His daughter said that his father often plays chess with a bunch of old men by the Rending Lake! Is he still busy? I guess they are not short of money now, but they also think that our company is not big enough?"

Xia Chunqiu said mockingly.

"Then forget it." Lu Wei replied.

"No, Lu Wei, you don't know that I was shocked when I listened to the clips my son told me! Damn it, how can a fairy tale be written like this? Especially that "Kung Fu Panda"! Things that are impossible to hit with a stick are combined together, it is simply amazing! You can write books, produce animations, and make movies! This is a huge IP that you must not let go!"

The more Xia Chunqiu talked, the more excited he became, as if he was seeing a steady stream of money.

Lu Wei laughed after hearing this: "No matter what you say, Lao Xia, what you will do is nothing but what if people don't write about you?"

This is true.

Xia Chunqiu smoked silently, with a distressed look on his face.
