Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

After Yu Dongqing finished singing, the three members of the band looked at each other and exchanged glances.

Finally, Wu Qinghua spoke and said in a tentative tone: "Mr. Yu, what is the name of this song? Can you let us sing it?"

Unexpectedly, Yu Dongqing answered happily.

"The song is called "Broad Sea and Sky", and I can let you sing it."

If I can't sing the Beyond band's songs with my own voice, I might as well leave them to the young man from Hong Kong who loves rock and roll.

Wu Qinghua was overjoyed and said thank you repeatedly.

Yu Dongqing immediately wrote down the music score and lyrics, and called Luo Yun to briefly explain the matter. In addition to registering on the Chinese Musicians Association website, there were also copyright agreement issues.

These will be discussed in detail between Luo Yun and the band, and he doesn't want to worry about it.

As for the arrangement, let the band create it according to their own ideas.

After Yu Dongqing finished all this, he said goodbye and left. Wu Qinghua and the others took him to a side street before saying goodbye.

Watching Yu Dongqing disappear at the street corner, the three of them glanced at each other with excitement in their eyes.

"Go back! Start working!"

Besides, after Yu Dongqing finished this matter, he leisurely got on the subway, returned to the hotel to rest and read Jin Long's new book, and went to Xia Wenxi's house for afternoon tea in the afternoon.

Xia Wenxi's private residence is in a place called Barker Road in Taipingshan. Yu Dongqing came here once last year, so this time he was familiar with the road. He came to the mansion and rang the doorbell. A middle-aged man who looked like a butler came out and took him to the mansion very politely. In the back garden, standing here you can see Victoria Harbor not far away, which is quiet in the bustle.

There were several men already drinking tea and chatting in the garden. Yu Dongqing knew them all. They happened to be the same men who had tea together last year.

In addition to the owner Xia Wenxi, there are also Liu Guoliang and Zhou Fanming, the president of Universal TV. The other thin man is Jin Long who met by chance in the bookstore this morning.

There are snacks, coffee, black tea, etc. on the dining table. The four of them are sitting on the wicker chairs very leisurely.

Zhou Fanming and Jin Long were talking about something.

Seeing Yu Dongqing's arrival, the four of them greeted with a smile. Xia Wenxi said, "Mr. Yu, I know you like to drink West Lake Longjing, so I specially prepared this year's new tea for you. How does it taste?"

"Thank you very much."

To be honest, Yu Dongqing is not used to drinking coffee or tea and eating snacks at three o'clock in the afternoon. He prefers to spend his days leisurely with a cup of tea. Of course he was very happy to hear that the other party specially prepared tea.

A servant had already brought the tea set, and Yu Dongqing brewed a cup by herself. Looking at the green tea buds in the cup, smelling the faint fragrance, and taking another sip, she couldn't help but blurt out: "Good tea, this is Ming Dynasty tea produced in Meijiawu, Hangzhou." Pre-tea?"

"Haha, Mr. Yu is indeed a master of tea drinking, and he can tell the difference so clearly." Xia Wenxi chuckled: "He is indeed from Meijiawu, Hangzhou."

"Hangzhou Longjing is divided into five major production areas: lion, dragon, cloud, tiger and plum". Among them, Meijiawu's tea has a tall, flat and smooth appearance, green color with green color, and turquoise color. The most unique thing is that it has a fresh bean aroma. . "

Talking about tea, Yu Dongqing talked endlessly, and the other people could hear

"Then I'm welcome to have a few more drinks." Yu Dongqing said with a smile.

A few people started chatting.

"When I was young, I also liked to drink green tea, especially Longjing, but now that I am older, my heart is not in good condition and I have premature beats, so the doctor does not recommend that I drink green tea and drink this instead."

Xia Wenxi said and pointed to her tea cup.

Yu Dongqing looked at it and saw that the soup was amber in color and smelled pure.

It is fermented tea, like dark tea, but Yu Dongqing is not sure what kind it is.

"Pu'er?" Yu Dongqing asked tentatively.

"Haha, no, it's Anhua black tea!"

Anhua black tea!

It is also a famous domestic tea, mainly produced in Anhua, Hunan. It is produced in Anhua and Pu'er, both of which belong to the dark tea series. Unlike Pu'er, the primary raw materials for processing are small and medium-leaf species.

Black tea has excellent health care properties and is very suitable for the elderly to drink.

"Mr. Yu, how would you like to have a drink?"

Yu Dongqing was pleased, poured a cup of black tea, and tasted it. The taste was mellow and smooth, with a sweet aftertaste.

"This is old tea that has been produced for more than 15 years." Xia Wenxi was very proud.

Then he talked endlessly about the many main varieties of Anhua dark tea, including "Three Tips", "Three Bricks" and "Yijuan". Sanjian tea is also called Xiangjian tea, which refers to Tianjian, Gongjian and Shengjian."

"You two, why don't you talk about tea all the time? Are you bullying those of us who don't know how to drink tea?" Zhou Fanming said in a joking tone.

He drank coffee.

Liu Guoliang and Jin Long also drank tea, but it was obvious that they were not particular about drinking tea, especially Jin Long. Others drank tea in small cups or even teacups, but he used a large glass cup.

Seeing Yu Dongqing staring at his tea cup, Jin Long grinned and explained: "I'm a rough man. I drink tea mainly to refresh myself. It's not so particular. It's just tea. If you both drink it, it's the best. This is how I drink it." I’ve been drinking too much for a long time.”

After saying this, he raised his glass specially.

Oh my goodness, the tea leaves take up almost half of the cup!

After hearing this, several people laughed.

"Mr. Yu, I heard from Jin Long that he was signing books and selling books at Sanlian Bookstore this morning, and he met you?" Zhou Fanming changed the subject.

"I had nothing to do and I went for a walk, but I didn't expect to meet Mr. Jin."

"Have you read the book he wrote? What do you think?" Zhou Fanming asked.

"I haven't had time to look at it carefully, but it feels good. I'll go back and read it carefully."

"Mr. Yu, what do you think of it being made into a TV series?"

"It's very good, it will definitely be popular!"

"Haha, I'm talking about this at Lao Jin. I bought his film and television adaptation rights and will make a martial arts TV series Mr. Yu first. Can you help write a theme song then?" Zhou Fanming asked.

Yu Dongqing was startled and said with a smile: "Everyone with lyrics and music like Mr. Xia and Mr. Liu is here, so it's not my turn, right?"

"I asked just now and they were unwilling."

oh?

"In front of Mr. Yu, I won't say those high-sounding words." Xia Wenxi was honest: "To be honest, I am getting older and my creative ability is far less than before. I'm afraid I won't be able to write a work that satisfies Mr. Zhou."

Liu Guoliang also nodded.

He has also not published publicly for several years.

"So, it's up to you young people. Mr. Yu, you are very good at writing theme songs for martial arts movies, so don't refuse."

"Cantonese?" Yu Dongqing thought for a while and asked.

"Of course, Cantonese singing is also your strong point now."

Yu Dongqing said a few words modestly, and the topic among several people turned to music. Yu Dongqing briefly talked about the situation of the band that Wu Qinghua met this morning. Of course, he didn't mention the song "Boundless Seas and Sky" that he helped write.

Hearing the current situation of the band, several people were not very sad. Singers like Wu Qinghua are not a minority in Hong Kong.

But this is the cruel fact. Whether singers or actors, people see the scenery at the top of the pyramid, and most of them are unknown.

"Mr. Yu, last year your band held a tour in several cities in the mainland, and the response was extremely popular." Zhou Fanming added.

Yu Dongqing said that it was just a matter of a few buddies fulfilling their dreams when they were young and not letting themselves have any regrets.

"Mr. Yu, do you want to come to the Hong Kong Coliseum to hold a concert?" Zhou Fanming suddenly asked.
