Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

When Yu Dongqing received the news, he was eating noodles in a small restaurant outside the community.

This is a newly opened small restaurant. The owner's surname is Wang, who is from Qin Province. He makes special noodles from Qin Province, such as Qishan Saozi Noodles, Youpo Pulled Noodles, and Biangbiang Noodles, which Yu Dongqing likes to eat.

Yu Dongqing often doesn't cook alone, so she becomes a frequent visitor here.

With a mouthful of noodles and a bite of garlic, I was enjoying my meal when my cell phone rang on the table. I saw it was still a call from Mingliang and I picked it up.

"Brother-in-law, "The Tuner" has won an award, the Best Short Film Award at the Venice Film Festival!" Mingliang was extremely excited on the phone.

But Yu Dongqing didn't feel anything, just said "oh".

"What? Brother-in-law, you don't seem excited."

What's there to be excited about?

That's to be expected.

Besides, what’s so exciting about just a short film award?

But since Mingliang asked this, she also agreed: "Well, of course I am excited to win the prize."

"The organizing committee has specially sent you an invitation letter, hoping that you can attend the awards ceremony!" Meiliang said again.

"You just came back from Venice and you're going again? It's boring." Yu Dongqing smiled: "You should go on my behalf."

"I don't have much time either. I've been very busy with my homework recently and I have to film a movie."

this?

Yu Dongqing hesitated for a moment, and suddenly thought of a way: "Just let Nick go. He is the leading actor, and besides, he is from Venice, so it is very convenient."

"Well, I'll inform Nick. He will be happy to hear it."

"Okay, you should also pay attention to your health and don't be too tired from studying." Yu Dongqing said a few more words of concern before hanging up the phone and continuing to eat his noodles slowly.

In a blink of an eye, he found the restaurant owner looking at him in shock.

"What? Boss? Are you worried that I won't pay? I haven't finished eating the noodles yet." Yu Dongqing joked.

"Are you a director? Have you won an award?"

It turned out that the boss was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks used by customers, and he overheard what Yu Dongqing was talking on the phone, and he was immediately surprised.

This man who looks very low-key is actually some kind of director? Also won international awards.

"What director?" Yu Dongqing replied with a smile: "Just shoot and have fun."

After finishing his last bite of noodles, he wiped his mouth, then picked up his mobile phone to scan the QR code on WeChat to pay, said hello to the boss, turned around and walked out.

The boss was still in a daze.

A diner next to him smiled and said, "Boss, don't you know who he is?"

The boss shook his head: "Who is he?"

"Yu Dongqing, a great singer!"

"He is Yu Dongqing?!" the boss exclaimed: "How come the pride of our Guanzhong people in Qin Province doesn't look like a big star at all?"

"Hehe. This is called low-key! Do you think they are all Internet celebrities? The more powerful the celebrities, the more low-key they are!"

"That's right. Then he is a singer, so why is he making a movie?" The boss was a little strange.

"I don't know about that either. I can only say that they are awesome."

Of course Yu Dongqing didn't know what was going on in the small restaurant. After eating, he took a walk outside and then came to Rending Lake Park to watch the old men playing chess.

This is also a simple and happy thing.

As for winning the prize, it has long been forgotten.

Some people were extremely excited about this.

Venice, a cafe.

Nick was in a state of great joy.

I just received a call from the girl named Meimei from London, saying that he was attending the award show to receive the award on behalf of Mr. Yu Dongqing, and that he had officially notified the film festival organizing committee.

He had already seen the news about the award for "The Tuner" on the Internet. As the lead actor in the film, he was also very happy, but he didn't expect that he would be asked to accept the award on behalf of the director!

Thinking of being able to stand on the same stage with those big stars and directors, Nick was so excited that he almost trembled all over.

"Nick! You're slacking off again!"

A somewhat rude voice came from behind.

The boss is here.

"Mr. Chris." Nick looked back at the fat man: "I'm going to take leave the day after tomorrow."

"Oh, God, you have to take leave again! You actually took three days off for a movie last month! You promised not to take leave again!"

"But, Mr. Chris, the movie I starred in won the Best Short Film Award at the Film Festival, and the director, Mr. Yu Dongqing, asked me to accept the award on his behalf."

"What? Your movie won an award? Are you going to accept the award?!" Chris looked shocked after hearing this.

"I am accepting the award on behalf of Mr. Yu Dongqing." Nick corrected deliberately.

"Then you are also the starring role." Chris' attitude suddenly changed.

Yes, this is Venice, one of the three birthplaces of the Renaissance.

Advocating art is engraved in the bones of the local people.

"Mr. Chris, do you have the night off the day after tomorrow?" Nick asked.

"I approve!" Chris immediately replied: "You don't have to come to work in the afternoon, just get ready!"

"Thanks."

"Nick?" Chris suddenly thought of something and asked in a tentative tone; "You won't change your profession to be an actor, right?"

"Who knows?" Nick smiled.

Indeed, he received an invitation yesterday, saying that he admired his performance very much and invited him to participate in the filming of a new film.

Although this director is not very famous, even though it is only a low-cost movie, the salary given is not high.

But who knows what will happen in the future?

This time, the news that "The Tuner" won the award at the Venice Film Festival spread to China, and the domestic film and television industry was still shocked.

One of the three major film festivals in the world, although it is only a short film award.

It was reported online and on TV, and Douban gave the movie a high score of 9.2, with constant praise.

Seeing that another of Yu Dongqing's works won the Clermont-Ferrand Film Festival Grand Prix, some people have already praised him as an outstanding director of the new generation.

Even Yang Liu called and asked if he should add the title of "director" to Yu Dongqing's personal introduction on the studio's official Weibo as "singer, musician", but Yu Dongqing rejected it.

After the "Wizard of Oz" was published last year, Luo Yun asked to add "writer" to her title, but Yu Dongqing refused. There is no need to play around with such nonsense this time.

Just two short movies.

There are more and more discussions about this movie on the Internet, which also brings some troubles to Yu Dongqing. Some fans came to his Weibo to ask a question.

"At the end, is the protagonist's tuner dead?"

Yu Dongqing refused to answer.

What's the point of an open ending if it's answered?

Just guess for yourself.

Unexpectedly, this kind of voice is getting louder and louder, and some netizens even asked for a remake of "The Tuner".

"We don't want a 13-minute one. It's too short and not satisfying. I want to watch a 120-minute one!"

"That's right, if it is remade, I will definitely buy a ticket to watch it!"

Yu Dongqing didn't care either.

What I didn't expect was that an investor actually came to the door and was willing to invest in Yu Dongqing's remake of this film.

He is also a coal boss.
