Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

Yu Dongqing took home the Horizon Section Best Film Award trophy.

This is also the only Chinese person to win an award at this Venice Film Festival.

After the film festival concluded, Yu Dongqing was eager to return home and embarked on a journey back to China the next day.

Returning to Yueyue Hutong, looking at the familiar lanes with white walls and gray tiles, Yu Dongqing couldn't help but sigh:

It's really a golden nest and a silver nest, not as good as your own doghouse.

Besides, my own home is not bad either.

Opening the courtyard door, the grown bean sprouts immediately jumped out from under the eaves of the corridor, shaking their heads and tails at Yu Dongqing.

"Husband, you are back."

Meili came out of the living room wearing a nightgown with a big belly.

"Don't run around, be careful." Yu Dongqing took two hurried steps and warned quickly.

"It's okay. The doctor said you should move more."

The two of them entered the living room together. Yu Dongqing went back to the bedroom to change into a vest and shorts, then washed briefly and then returned to the living room, where he saw watermelons and grapes already placed on the coffee table.

"I went to the supermarket to buy the watermelon from Pangezhuang. It's very sweet."

Yu Dongqing ate a piece, it was really good.

"Where's Tongtong? Why haven't you seen Tongtong? Did you go out to play?" Yu Dongqing asked while eating. Today is the weekend.

"She's going to school again. There's a competition next weekend, so she hasn't had any rest in the past two weeks. She'll probably be back soon," Meiliang replied.

Just as he was talking, he heard the door creak open, and a girl in a JK skirt hummed and jumped in.

"Dad, you're back." Yu Tongtong greeted with a smile.

"Yes, come, come, your aunt bought the watermelon." Yu Dongqing greeted her daughter with a smile.

Yu Tongtong washed her hands, and the family of three ate and chatted in the living room.

"Dad, have you got the award?" Yu Tongtong asked.

Yu Dongqing nodded.

"Look, auntie, I told you that you and my dad will definitely win the prize if you and I work together!" Yu Tongtong said.

Two swords combined?

This word made Yu Dongqing and Mingliang laugh.

"Husband, Tongtong is obsessed with watching martial arts movies." Meili explained.

"oh?"

Yu Dongqing looked at her daughter.

"Dad, I've watched two martial arts movies recently, but I didn't think they were as good as the ones you made."

Ah?

Ever since "The Swordsman" filmed by Yu Dongqing achieved great success at the box office and word-of-mouth, there has been a trend of following "The Swordsman", both in terms of shooting techniques and martial arts design.

For a time, the original martial arts scene of hard bridges and hard horses disappeared, replaced by flying around.

But Yu Dongqing never went to see it.

Of course, he doesn't care whether the movie looks good or not. What he cares about is his daughter.

"Tongtong, those martial arts fights are just for scaring people, don't take them seriously," Yu Dongqing warned.

My daughter has been as active as a boy since she was a child. When she was in elementary school, she signed up for some martial arts class and beat the little boy named Xia Yunxing until she cried.

Now that I have grown up, I am much quieter, but the wildness in my heart is still there, and I need to be reminded.

After listening to her father's words, Yu Tongtong said: "I know that to learn those moves, it is better to practice swordsmanship with my aunt."

Yu Dongqing was speechless.

Hey. Both mother and daughter are the same.

"Honey, I forgot to tell you some good news." Meili suddenly thought of something: "The final box office of our film "Chinese Youth" has been calculated, it's about 85 million!"

"So not only is there no loss, but you can also make some money?" Yu Dongqing asked.

"Yes. Although Yangliu's accounts haven't been settled yet, I made a rough calculation and it's probably around 11 million!"

The film invested a total of 18 million and made 11 million, which is not bad.

"Haha, it's worth celebrating!" Yu Dongqing laughed.

"Okay, I suggest that our whole family go eat crayfish later!" Yu Tongtong immediately raised her hand and said.

What a snack!

"Honey, I want to eat too." Meili took Yu Dongqing's hand in a coquettish tone.

Why.

"Okay, okay, but you are a pregnant woman, so you should eat less of this stuff!"

"Hmm. I'm going to change clothes now." After saying that, Meiliang happily entered the bedroom.

Yu Dongqing's life returned to normal.

I get up in the morning to cook, and go for a walk with my wife by the Qianhai Lake. During the lunch break, the couple sit in the courtyard to chat or check their mobile phones.

In the evening after dinner, the two of them went out for a walk as usual, or went to sit with their father-in-law and mother-in-law's house.

Meili is seven months pregnant, and his current task is to take good care of his wife.

But there is something that he must go out for today: the Yanjing District Finals of the National Youth Piano Competition will be held grandly at the Shougang Park Ice Hockey Hall.

Yu Tongtong is one of the 50 contestants. If she can break into the top ten this time, she will participate in the finals of the National Youth Piano Competition to be held in Yanjing in November this year.

Today is Saturday, and the competition starts at 9 a.m., and now at 7:30, Yu Dongqing and her daughter are getting ready to set off.

But Mingmei also wants to go.

"Honey, let me go. I'm so bored at home alone. Besides, I also want to see Tongtong win the award!" Meiliang shook Yu Dongqing's arm coquettishly.

Yu Dongqing was a little embarrassed

Meimei is also a person who likes to be lively, and sometimes she gets bored every day like this.

"Your body is like this now. Your mother specifically told me not to let you run around. The last time you ate crayfish, your mother knew about it and gave me a scolding."

"Why are you running around this time? Besides, how safe is it to be with you?" Meiliang said.

All right.

Yu Dongqing is too soft-hearted towards Meili.

"Tongtong, wait for me, I'll go change clothes." Meiliang immediately beamed.

Ten minutes later, a family of three went out and drove straight to Shougang Park.

Shougang Park is located on SJS Road. It used to be an old industrial pipe gallery, but now it has become a high-end industrial innovation highland and a post-industrial cultural and sports creative base.

The City of Steel has become a new landmark of urban revitalization.

After parking the car, Yu Dongqing's family of three entered the ice hockey stadium in Shougang Park. There were many people in the auditorium, including reporters. This time, CCTV broadcast it live.

Yu Dongqing was looking for an empty seat for three people when she suddenly heard someone shouting: "Yu Tongtong!"

Yu Dongqing turned around and saw that it was a boy.

Yu Tongtong’s elementary school classmate——Xia Yunxing.

After not seeing each other for more than a year, Yu Dongqing discovered that the boy had grown much taller, and was actually taller than Yu Tongtong. He was very handsome in a T-shirt and sweatpants.

"Why are you here?" Yu Tongtong frowned slightly.

"I'm here to cheer you up!"

"unnecessary!"

After Yu Tongtong finished speaking, she twisted her neck and stopped paying attention to him.

Seeing Xia Yunxing's embarrassed look, Mingliang couldn't stand it. She quickly took over the conversation and asked with a smile: "Xia Yunxing, did you come here with your father?"

"Auntie, no, I came here alone, just to cheer for Yu Tongtong."

I.

The corner of Yu Dongqing's mouth, who was standing nearby, twitched.

But this is a public place, and Yu Dongqing can't say that this is not your place to stay. You kid, go back quickly and have no choice but to ignore it.

Yu Dongqing and his family found a seat at the back, and Xia Yunxing consciously sat in the empty seat next to them.

Yu Tongtong rolled her eyes and ignored him at all, but Mingliang chatted with Xia Yunxing and asked him what he was studying.

Xia Yunxing is a talkative boy, and the two of them chatted quite happily.

"What, you won the silver medal in the National Mathematical Olympiad this year?" Mingliang was surprised.

"Yes, Auntie, I almost won the gold medal. It's my fault that I was too careless and miscalculated a small question." Xia Yunxing said.

"Not bad, not bad. It's already great." Mei Liang praised.

Yu Dongqing, who was sitting next to him, was secretly surprised when he heard this.

A real top student.

Keep it up like this, Tsinghua and Peking University materials.

"Hmph! Show off!" Yu Tongtong snorted with a look of disdain.

At nine o'clock, the game officially started.
