Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

After the call ended, she asked: "Did the movie do well at the box office?"

"Yes, Meili said that the box office on the first day was 83 million, and the Douban score was 8.0."

"Yes, it's far beyond my expectation. Meimei is very good. If the performance is based on this performance, the final box office of this movie will exceed 600 million!"

"Absolutely?" Yu Dongqing nodded.

"Holly, you've made a lot of money again." Luo Yun smiled.

Yu Dongqing knew what he meant. 10 million was originally invested in this movie!

"You're not bad, you also invested 1 million." Yu Dongqing smiled.

"If it weren't for you, I would have been reluctant to invest. To be honest, I invested 1 million at that time, and I wouldn't have much money left." Luo Yun said.

At that time, Luo Yun had just divorced and didn't have much personal savings. She even rented her house.

"Okay. If you follow me from now on, I will make sure you make a lot of money." Yu Dongqing said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

of course.

I am all yours now. If I don’t follow you, who will?

Of course, it was hard to say these disgusting words in front of Yu Tongtong.

"Better Days" had a good start at the box office on the first day, and its popularity continued to rise, with the box office rising steadily. Whether it was the plot or the actors' hard-working performances, it conquered the audience and received rave reviews.

In the following two weeks, it has been the box office champion, and the total box office has exceeded 600 million! Some commentators estimate that the film's final box office is expected to exceed 1 billion.

Meili will become the youngest director in history to have a single film with a box office of over 1 billion!

The kind words came one after another.

What about "the first female director in China" and "the most beautiful director"?

Fortunately, Mingmei could still remain calm.

After attending the premiere in Tianjin, the team disbanded. Meili declined many interviews. Except for going shopping with Han Qingqing sometimes, she basically stayed at home.

I was too tired some time ago and now I need to relax.

After Yu Dongqing came back, he immediately started to complete the arrangement and singing of the song "It's better to have tea". It was different from the previous songs and was full of strong Chinese style. After it was published on the music platform, it really aroused the love of fans and clicked on it one after another. download.

Of course, he did not forget to write a copy on his Weibo and the background introduction of the song. According to Yang Mei’s message on WeChat, he excitedly told Yu Dongqing that the number of teahouse customers suddenly increased that afternoon.

"Uncle Yu, new tea will be on the market next spring. You must come again and try my craft again." Yang Mei left a message.

Yu Dongqing agreed with a smile.

Today is Sunday. Yu Dongqing drove to her father-in-law's house in Houhai after lunch. Her daughter stayed at her grandma's house without going back over the weekend, so Yu Dongqing came over to take a look today.

Meimei is also at home,

When Yu Dongqing arrived at the courtyard, Meili was sitting in the courtyard reading a book, and her daughter Yu Tongtong was squatting to play with the puppy.

The daughter called Daddy and started teasing the puppy with great interest.

Meiliang also put down her book and said hello: "Brother-in-law, you are here."

"Well, where are my parents?" Yu Dongqing asked.

"Dad went to Badaling early in the morning for photography, and mom went shopping with a friend of hers."

Yu Dongqing said "Oh" and sat on the small chair next to her. The nanny at home quickly brought tea leaves and tea sets from the house.

"You go about your business, I'll do it myself." Yu Dongqing made herself a cup of tea and watched her daughter playing with the puppy while drinking.

Today, Meili returned to her usual dress. Looking at Yu Dongqing, she suddenly thought of something: "Brother-in-law, are you going to Xiangjiang soon to attend a music seminar?"

"It's not about discussion, we are all sitting together to communicate." Yu Dongqing said with a smile.

"I saw a lot of unfriendly comments about you on the Internet in Xiangjiang." Meili suddenly said.

"Unfriendly comments? How could you see the news from Xiangjiang?" Yu Dongqing was surprised.

"Climb over the wall."

Meili took out her mobile phone, opened an APP skillfully, and handed it to Yu Dongqing.

"Look, the news inside."

Yu Dongqing browsed it and found that it was a forum called Gao Deng. It was all in traditional Chinese characters and basically had entertainment content.

Oh, it’s quite lively.

Sure enough, Yu Dongqing saw a post complaining about the music exchange between Xiangjiang people and why they invited mainlanders to come?

There are quite a few people following this post.

They all praise local music and criticize the mainland music scene.

Yu Dongqing laughed it off.

In this world, there are angry young people everywhere.

On the contrary, some gossip news caught Yu Dongqing's attention.

The fans of Xiangjiang singer Zhang Jiaming are having a big war of words with fans of Lu Wanyu!

It turned out that Zhang Jiaming couldn't bear it any longer, and the new song was officially released two weeks after Lu Wanyu sang "Where Do We Meet in Life".

I thought that the popularity of the other person's new song would decrease, but I didn't expect that after my new song was released, he would still be suppressed.

Zhang Jiaming's fans were not happy and went to Lu Wanyu's Facebook and Twitter to complain and abuse.

Of course Lu Wanyu's fans would not sit idly by and the two sides began to have a big war of words. The black fans even called Lu Wanyu a bitch for only singing songs written by that mainland guy. Did he sleep with that mainland guy?

Damn it!

That's too much.

Sure enough, Lu Wanyu's agent issued a statement that fans who insult and abuse Lu Wanyu will be held legally responsible!

It had a slight effect, but it was still a mess.

"Brother-in-law?" Meili looked at Yu Dongqing and asked cautiously.

She thought Yu Dongqing was angry.

Unexpectedly, Yu Dongqing smiled faintly and returned the phone to her.

"Don't pay attention to him. There are all kinds of birds in the forest."

"Brother-in-law, I think they are jealous! My Mandarin writing is not as good as yours, and now even my Cantonese songs are not as good as yours!" Mei Mingli stood up for Yu Dongqing.

"Brother-in-law, why don't you write more Cantonese songs and sing them yourself without anyone else! Then go to Xiangjiang to hold a concert and use magic to defeat their magic!"

Ah?

Going to a concert in Xiangjiang?

You actually think so?

"Holding a concert is not an easy task. It is troublesome and tiring. It is not interesting. Let's not talk about it." Yu Dongqing changed the subject.

"Tell me about you. You are about to graduate. Have you thought about what you want to make in your next film?"

"I originally wanted to make the book "The Wizard of Oz" you wrote into an animated film, but now I want to make a literary film." Meili expressed her thoughts.

"Literary films are not easy to make. They are too difficult to guarantee box office." Yu Dongqing reminded.

"Yeah. But I want to try."

"Have you thought about the theme?" Yu Dongqing asked.

"Not yet, brother-in-law, can you write another script for me?"

"I don't know what to write?" Yu Dongqing spread his hands and said with a smile.

"There's no rush anyway, brother-in-law, just think about it slowly."

The two of them were chatting casually. They were not in a hurry anyway and had plenty of time.

At noon on April 22, Yu Dongqing carried her suitcase alone and boarded the plane to Xiangjiang.
