Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

There are also the two martial arts songs "A Laugh in the Sea" and "Laughing in the Red Dust".

"A Laugh in the Sea" was released at the same time as the trailer, and overnight it shot up the charts on major music platforms. Music critic Huang Zhengkai called it one of the best martial arts songs ever.

But I didn't expect that the song "Laughing in the Red Dust" was equally good, and it was called the female version of "A Laugh in the Sea".

Guo Xin sang with her unique cigarette voice:

No matter how cold the wind is, I don’t want to escape

No matter how beautiful the flowers are, I don’t want them

Let me sway

The higher the sky, the smaller the heart

No matter how many causes and effects there are

drunk alone

Cry today and laugh tomorrow

Don’t ask anyone to understand

Proud

As one netizen commented:

Get drunk and then rest, don’t think about it, just forget about yourself, laugh happily, ruthlessness is even hurt by emotion, laugh drunk and the storm is over now, that’s it, it’s gone!

Labor Day has just passed today. Early in the morning, Yu Dongqing drove straight to Houhai and arrived at Yanzi Hutong.

Yu Tongtong is going to take the initial exam for the High School Affiliated to the Yin Yuan. Yu Dongqing, like other parents of children, has to accompany her to the school to take the exam.

Meili and Yu Tongtong are already waiting at home.

Today, Yu Tongtong was dressed very beautifully, wearing a small brown suit, a plaid skirt, long white socks and black leather shoes, and light makeup.

Even Mingliang dressed up carefully. She changed from her usual plain makeup, took off her usual jeans, and actually wore a modified short blue printed cheongsam, which was retro yet fashionable.

Yu Dongqing was a little surprised when she saw it: "Meimei, I rarely see you wearing a cheongsam."

"Isn't Tongtong going to have an exam today? My wearing a cheongsam means she will be victorious!"

I.

Yu Dongqing simply didn't know what to say after hearing this.

Today Yu Tongtong is going to take the initial exam for the High School Affiliated to the Music Academy, but she’s not so superstitious, right?

"Brother-in-law, do I look good in this outfit?" Meili said and turned around slightly.

"Good-looking!" Yu Dongqing blurted out without even thinking.

Seeing my daughter next to me, I quickly added: "Tongtong looks good in what she wears today!"

"Let's go." Meili took Yu Tongtong's hand and walked out happily.

The High School Affiliated to the Yin Yuan is in Fengtai, still some distance from Houhai. Yu Dongqing drove to the school on Qunxing Road with Mingliang and her daughter. Many parents and students had gathered on the school playground and downstairs of the teaching building, all coming to participate. Examination.

At nine o'clock sharp, the exam started. All the students taking the exam went upstairs, and their parents were waiting downstairs. Seeing the dark crowd of parents, Meili suddenly became a little nervous.

"Brother-in-law, there are no more than 100 students enrolled this time, and there are only 18 people in the piano class. With so many people coming in at once, the competition is too fierce. What if Tongtong doesn't perform well?"

"Don't worry, Tongtong's mental quality is good. Mainly, as long as she plays, she should be fine." Yu Dongqing consoled her.

In fact, he felt quite uneasy.

There are people outside the mountains, and there are people outside the mountains.

The exam is first a theoretical test, and then there are interviews one by one. You will perform on the spot according to the subject you are taking. Nearly two hours have passed. Some children have finished the exam and went downstairs, but they have not seen Yu Tongtong yet.

Yu Dongqing felt inexplicably nervous.

At this moment, the cell phone rang. Yu Dongqing took it out and saw that it was Li Wan calling.

"Dongqing, the distribution contract with Xiangjiang Huanyu Film and Television has been negotiated. Can I send it to you for a look?"

"Have you seen Yangliu?" Yu Dongqing asked.

"Ms. Yang has read it and has no objection."

"That's fine, I don't have to look."

In fact, there's really nothing to see.

He had read the contents of the contract in advance. In the past few days, he had only discussed some specific implementation details with the representatives of Huanyu Film and Television. Those were all trivial matters.

"Holly, Director Wang of Huanyu will return to Xiangjiang this afternoon. He wants to see you at noon and have a meal together. There are some things he wants to talk to you in person." Li Wan added.

"I don't have time at noon." Yu Dongqing refused: "My daughter is taking the exam for the high school attached to the Music Academy, and I have to accompany her."

"Haha, my daughter is important, so I'll tell him."

"Tell him that if you need anything, you can email me or call me." After saying that, Yu Dongqing hung up the phone.

"Brother-in-law, who called? Is it Li Wan?"

"Yes, the agency contract with Huanyu has been negotiated. Director Wang wanted to invite me to dinner at noon and talk about things, but I refused."

"How about you go ahead? I'll wait for Tongtong here. Maybe Director Wang wants to talk to you about something important." Mingliang advised.

"What's so important?" Yu Dongqing smiled.

"They introduced a Cantonese version of "Swordsman" and hired actors to dub it. They also wanted to change the two Mandarin songs into a Cantonese version. It would be best to have singers from Times Records, which the group belongs to, do the dubbing. Sing, probably just talk to me about this."

"Wu Jingqi from Star Records also contacted you and said that you want to sing the Cantonese version of "Laughing in the Red Dust"?"

Oh. Yu Dongqing almost forgot about this.

A few days ago, Wu Jingwen called Yu Dongqing from Xiangjiang and said that she wanted to sing the Cantonese version of this song.

However, Yu Dongqing did not agree immediately.

"Forget it, let the singer from Times Records sing, after all, they signed an agency agreement for the film with us." Yu Dongqing thought for a while and said.

"Then what do you say to Wu Jingwen? After all, we are also friends." Mingliang reminded.

"Don't she like singing in Mandarin? I'll write a song for her when the time comes. I won't say any more, look, Tongtong is out!" Yu Dongqing hurriedly greeted her.

"Tongtong, how did you do in the exam?"

The little girl came out of the teaching building. She looked at her father and aunt calmly and said, "That's it. It's not difficult. The content of the test is also simple. All the pieces were taught by my grandma." It’s easier than what I usually practice.”

"Wow Tongtong, isn't that your first time trying it?" Meiliang was very happy.

"I guess it's okay."

"Tongtong, don't be careless. Even if you have tried it for the first time, you have to try it again and try it three times!"

Yu Dongqing was afraid of her daughter being proud, so she deliberately poured cold water on her. Unexpectedly, Yu Tongtong said:

"Dad, don't worry, I listened outside and they don't play as well as me!"

"Ha, our Tongtong is amazing!" Meiliang hugged the little girl very affectionately: "Come on, what do you want to eat for lunch? Auntie's treat!"

"I'm going to Guijie Street to eat crayfish!" Yu Tongtong said immediately.

"Okay, I want to go too, I haven't eaten for a long time!"

Haven't eaten for a long time?

Did you just eat it last week?

There was no other way, Yu Dongqing had no choice but to follow behind.

Sure enough, as her daughter said, she passed the first test, the second test, and the third test. Yu Tongtong passed all the tests and was finally admitted to the first-grade piano class of the high school attached to the Music Academy.

This is something that makes the whole family happy!

Ming Hanwen, who never liked going out to restaurants, made an exception. In order to celebrate his granddaughter, he specially ordered a table of meals at Qianmen Jianguo Hotel.

Fu Gong dry-baked shrimp and duck crispy rolls are the signature dishes of the restaurant.

In the middle of the meal, Yu Tongtong suddenly said: "Grandma, grandpa, dad, aunt, I go to the attached high school and want to live on campus."
