Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

It turned out that the "Steel Piano" had been completed a month ago, and Zhang Yang and Li Fen led the creative team to start a month-long road show.

The last stop is Fuzhou.

"Dongqing, come to Fuzhou, help me stand on the platform to increase my popularity, and also encourage others on your Weibo." This was Zhang Yang's request.

If it were someone else, Yu Dongqing would refuse.

But the other party is Zhang Yang.

My best friend, he has put his heart and soul into this film, and Yu Dongqing also hopes that more people will see it.

"Okay, I'll refund the ticket right away and rush over immediately."

Meili originally waited for Yu Dongqing to return to Yanjing, then went to the theater to film. Now she heard that Yu Dongqing said that she would not return to Yanjing for the time being and would go to Fuzhou first.

"How about, hubby, I will go to Fuzhou with you? I will also help Brother Zhang Yang." Meiliang said.

"You're not filming anymore?"

"Let's go after filming. It's not far from Fuzhou anyway. I'll rush back early tomorrow morning. I also want to help Brother Zhang Yang."

"Okay, the new Golden Horse Award-winning actress is very popular. When you stand on the stage, you will be dazzling." Yu Dongqing joked.

"Husband" Meiliang said angrily: "Isn't this your credit?"

After Yu Dongqing waited for the filming to end in the afternoon, the two immediately took the high-speed train to Fuzhou. At eight o'clock in the evening, they met Zhang Yang who picked them up at Fuzhou Station.

"Hey, brother Zhang Yang, long time no see. You've lost weight." Mei Liang greeted.

Indeed, Yu Dongqing found that at least her belly was smaller than it originally looked.

"I've been tired lately, Dongqing, and Meiming has to rush for time. I guess it's too late for you to go to the hotel. Let's go to the theater first."

"Okay, go directly."

The road show of "The Piano of Steel" in Fuzhou was held at Yi International Cinema City on the 5th floor of Fuzhou Powerlong City Plaza. Yu Dongqing and Meiliang followed Zhang Yang to the city square by subway with their suitcases.

"Are we there?"

Zhang Yang answered the phone while walking: "We're here, get ready to get on the elevator."

"Okay, please get ready, Mr. Yu, and they will come on stage right away."

"OK!"

Zhang Yang hung up the phone and said to Yu Dongqing with a smile: "We came just in time."

In the cinema hall on the fifth floor, people who participated in the free viewing have finished watching the movie, and the creative team is interacting with fans and accepting interviews from media reporters.

Director Li Fen whispered a few words in the host's ear, and then she heard the host holding the microphone and loudly said: "Fan fans, let me tell you some good news. The screenwriter of this film, the famous director and musician Mr. Yu Dongqing and his lover , the famous director and Golden Horse Award-winning actress Ms. Meiliang, made a special trip here to interact with you today, everyone is welcome!"

Yu Dongqing actually came to Fuzhou? !

Movie fans immediately became commotion.

Yu Dongqing held Mingliang's hand, and the couple walked onto the stage with smiles.

"He is indeed brother-in-law!"

Immediately someone shouted "Brother-in-law!"

"The East is undefeated!"

The host stopped the crowd's commotion and handed the microphone to Yu Dongqing.

"Hello everyone, movie fans and media reporters, I came to Xiamen from Taipei after attending the Golden Horse Awards ceremony. My wife was filming there. I heard that the "Steel Piano" roadshow was being held in Fuzhou, so I came here specially to talk with you. Let’s all spend this memorable night together.”

"Mr. Yu, why did you think of writing such a script?"

"It's a chance factor. I won't say more about the specific reasons, but what I want to say is that this is a piece of history. Although many years have passed, it should not be forgotten."

"Some people say that your script is to glorify suffering."

"No, no, suffering is never worthy of praise. Just like the suffering suffered by Chen Guilin and others in the play, I hope it never happened."

"Then what's the point of writing this script?"

“It is the people struggling in suffering that deserve praise and praise, not the suffering itself.”

"Director Ming, have you seen this movie?" The host's microphone turned to Mingliang.

"Not yet, because I have been busy filming during this period, but after reading this script, I think it is well written. The tone of the whole script is very gentle, and there is a faint sadness in my bones. It is a sentiment that I like very much. It is tender and tender. The water is yet exciting and bold, and it is nostalgic but never forgets the light of hope for the future. I think the photo taken by my senior sister is more beautiful."

"Thank you, Junior Sister Meimei." Li Fen said with a smile.

Immediately afterwards, Yu Dongqing also answered questions from reporters and fans, and the atmosphere was warm.

"Director Yu, would you like to sing a song for us? Your song "Toast to the Past"!" Someone asked at the scene.

Yu Dongqing didn't refuse, and pulled Zhang Yang back. Then he looked at Liu Yi, who was smiling at him, and pulled him onto the stage with a smile.

Three men sang this song at the same time.

Many things have gone through

do you feel tired

Such a mood

I've had it a few times

Maybe someone was hurt

Maybe no one can understand

I think you are the same now

Very tired

The fans at the scene sang along and the atmosphere was lively.

The road show lasted until ten o'clock in the evening. Zhang Yang sent Yu Dongqing and Mingliang back to the reserved hotel. Yu Dongqing and his wife took a shower, and then went to a nearby night market for supper.

The three of them chatted while eating.

Zhang Yang told Yu Dongqing that their team started from Harbin and traveled southward to nearly 20 cities.

"Fuzhou is the last stop."

"Brother Zhang Yang, I traveled to twenty cities in a month, averaging one city a day and a half. It's very hard." Meiliang said.

"Yes. I often go to the cinema for road shows at night, take the train overnight, and then go to major cinemas during the day the next day. How else would I lose weight? Haha."

"How's the effect?" Yu Dongqing asked.

"Not very good." Zhang Yang shook his head and lit a cigarette.

"Every city we go to, friends from the media and theater managers tell me privately that this subject matter is not good and it is estimated that there will not be too many people watching the movie."

"So, as planned, we will release it tomorrow. There are still ten days before the Spring Festival, which is considered a free period."

Yu Dongqing nodded after hearing this.

Naturally, a movie with such a theme would not be released during the Spring Festival. Not to mention the fierce competition. If such a movie is released on a festive day during the Chinese New Year, it will cause trouble for everyone. How many people will watch it?

On the contrary, now is a good time. The New Year's Day movie schedule is over and there are no blockbusters released for the time being. It seems that Zhang Yang chose the time very shrewdly.

"Brother Zhang Yang, don't be discouraged. If you work so hard, I don't think the box office will be too bad." Meili comforted her.

"Haha, I will do my best to obey fate. Of course, I still hope to lose less." Zhang Yang said with a smile.

After eating, Yu Dongqing said goodbye to Zhang Yang and returned to the hotel with Meili.

Walking on the road, Mingliang held Yu Dongqing's arm and suddenly sighed softly.

"What's wrong? Are you tired?" Yu Dongqing asked with concern.

"No, suddenly I felt inexplicably sad."

Yu Dongqing said nothing and held his wife's hand tightly.

On January 18, "The Piano" was released simultaneously in major theaters across the country.
