Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

But she really had such an idea.

Retreating behind the scenes is not necessarily a problem. If you marry Yu Dongqing, you will definitely not be able to focus on work as you are now. You also have to take care of your family.

Naturally, the studio needs to find someone who can be relied on to take on the leading role in the future, and Yang Liu is the one he focuses on training.

Lu Xiaoxi called Luo Yun the next day and told Luo Yun that he was willing to sign a contract with the studio. Yang Liu also contacted Zhou Limei and recommended the studio's contracted actor Lu Xiaoxi to be the male lead in the play.

Zhou Limei also admired Lu Xiaoxi's performance in "Young You" and wanted to hire a new actor. After negotiation, the two parties finally signed a contract. Lu Xiaoxi will be the male lead in the upcoming new drama, with a salary of 1.5 million.

Lu Xiaoxi immediately entered the crew and started intense filming.

These were all things Luo Yun told Yu Dongqing later, and he himself didn't care about these matters at all.

Today is Children's Day. Yu Dongqing got up early and went to her daughter's school to watch a performance to celebrate Children's Day.

On Children's Day in the past two years, her daughter's grandmother or aunt Meimei went to the school to watch performances in the name of her parents. This year, Yu Dongqing decided to go by herself.

"Dad, hurry up, hurry up, or you'll be late." Yu Tongtong shouted to her father.

She used to take a long time to get up for school, but today she didn't need her father to wake her up and got up early because today she and several classmates in her class performed on behalf of Class 3 of Grade 3.

The content of the program is that the school's dance teacher adapted an episode of the fairy tale "The Wizard of Oz" told by Yu Dongqing, with Yu Tongtong playing the heroine Dorothy.

Today, the little girl is wearing a pink Lolita skirt, white socks, black leather shoes, and even a golden wig, looking fashionable and cute.

Luo Yun took the little girl to buy this outfit from a Lolita clothing store called "Spring Flowers and Moon" outside Dongzhimen.

Yu Dongqing thinks it's pretty good, at least it's much cuter than the little girl performing a set of boxing skills in the class every Children's Day, right?

Girls are like girls.

Yu Dongqing also wore a white T-shirt and camel-colored casual pants. The father and daughter happily went out and drove straight to school.

There were a lot of cars on the street in front of the school today. It seemed that they were all driven by parents who came to watch the performance. Yu Dongqing finally found a parking space. As soon as the two of them walked to the school gate, they heard someone calling their daughter's name from behind.

"Yu Tongtong!"

Yu Dongqing looked back and saw a middle-aged man with a little boy. It was Xia Chunqiu and his son Xia Yunxing.

Seeing Yu Tongtong, Xia Yunxing ran over immediately.

"Xia Yunxing, you have to perform well when you go on stage today!" Yu Tongtong said.

"Yeah." The little boy nodded quickly.

It turns out that Xia Yunxing plays the cowardly lion.

"You can cry when the time comes. You can cry if you want, but don't fake it!" the little girl warned again.

"But what if I can't cry?"

"Why did I beat you so hard the day before yesterday that you cried? Just think back to that time."

"Oh well"

Yu Dongqing was a little embarrassed by her daughter's strong words, as her father was also present.

Are you so confident in saying that it is appropriate to beat someone up?

Yu Dongqing had no choice but to apologize to Xia Chunqiu.

Xia Chunqiu laughed, meaning it was nothing.

They are all children.

"Dad, uncle, let's go put on makeup first." Yu Tongtong pulled Xia Yunxing and ran towards the school gate quickly.

"Bye bye dad, bye uncle"

Seeing this scene, Yu Dongqing's mouth twitched involuntarily. He turned his head and saw Xia Chunqiu looking at him with a smile on his face.

Yu Dongqing always felt that Xia Chunqiu's smile was a bit meaningful.

"Mr. Yu, let's come in too." Xia Chunqiu actively invited.

Yu Dongqing nodded, and the two of them walked inside together.

"Mr. Yu, I originally invited you to sign books and sell books at Sanlian Taofen Bookstore today, but you said you wanted to watch the children's Children's Day performance. Oh." Xia Chunqiu had some regret on his face.

It turns out that "The Wizard of Oz" written by Yu Dongqing was finally published last week after intensive operations by Shengshi Books and was publicly distributed in major bookstores across the country.

According to the company's plan, a series of publicity and promotional activities were to be carried out before and after Children's Day. One of them was to have the author Yu Dongqing sign and sell books, but the other party declined.

Seeing Xia Chunqiu like this, Yu Dongqing smiled and said: "Is there anything more meaningful than participating in the children's Children's Day? There is also a performance program held by the school this time. I heard that your company sponsored prizes?"

"It's nothing, I just sponsored some children's books." Xia Chunqiu replied.

Yu Dongqing smiled slightly and said nothing.

It's just disguised advertising.

He knew that among them was The Wizard of Oz.

I heard from my daughter Yu Tongtong that their class was rehearsing the children's play "The Wizard of Oz" and Xia Chunqiu's father also contributed a lot. It is said that if he performs well today, he will participate in the city's Youth Art Festival in the name of the school.

It seems that Xia Chunqiu has indeed thought of many ways to promote this book.

"Mr. Yu, when will your other book "Kung Fu Panda" be finished?" Xia Chunqiu asked again

"No hurry, no rush."

Yu Dongqing is really not in a hurry.

Not to mention the hard work of coding, and I also want to see how the published "The Wizard of Oz" is doing.

If it's not as expected, why worry?

At this moment, Xia Chunqiu's cell phone rang. He took it out and listened while walking.

"Yeah?"

"okay, I get it!"

After hanging up the phone, Xia Chunqiu smiled: "Mr. Yu, the sales department of our company just called me. As of yesterday, the sales volume of "The Wizard of Oz" has exceeded 100,000 copies!"

One hundred thousand copies a week?

Is this sales okay?

"Mr. Yu, can you start writing the book "Kung Fu Panda"?" Xia Chunqiu said again.

"Take the time, take the time." Yu Dongqing could only say.

The Children's Day celebration performance was held in the school playground. Although the weather had started to heat up in early June, the parents were still watching with gusto while sitting on small stools.

The children's drama "The Wizard of Oz" performed by Yu Tongtong and several other children indeed received warm applause. Yu Dongqing watched her daughter play Dorothy on the stage so vividly that her expression and tone of voice were consistent with the original work.

Didn’t you expect that your daughter has a talent for acting?

At the end of the performance, the children's play "The Wizard of Oz" performed by my daughter's class won the first prize and will represent the school in the city's Children's Art Festival.

On the way back, I was holding a few books - they were prizes for winning performances.

Yu Dongqing and Xia Chunqiu left together, and the two children were naturally chattering excitedly.

"Mr. Yu, don't forget to write a book." Xia Chunqiu also warned before leaving.

This is urgent

Yu Dongqing had no choice but to agree and start writing in the recent period.

Since I promised, I had to start preparations, but something unexpected happened and it was logical to postpone the matter.

The band received an official invitation from Xiangjiang and hoped to participate in a cultural performance celebrating the return of Xiangjiang on the evening of July 1 this year.
