Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

This again.

Yu Dongqing reluctantly replied that she only had such an idea now and did not plan to start filming soon.

"I know, you have to write the script first. You film and write it yourself."

That's not what I meant

"Holly, don't rush and write slowly, but there is one thing. When the time comes, our emperor will all invest."

After hearing this, Yu Dongqing had no choice but to reply:

"Mr. Jin, it's too early to talk about investment now that we haven't even finished talking about it yet? We'll discuss it later."

"Okay, let's have dinner together then and discuss it while we eat."

The news that Yu Dongqing is going to make a new martial arts film has spread on the Internet. Of course, martial arts fans are very happy: finally they don’t have to watch those bad movies to rape their eyes!

People in the industry are also looking forward to it. Film critic Zhang Liming said on his Weibo that Yu Dongqing created a new world of martial arts movies with "The Swordsman". Can the follow-up film surpass the previous one?

Of course, these comments and comments will not disturb Yu Dongqing's mood. What bothers him is that some film and television companies and investors contacted the studio through various channels and even called him himself, asking for investment!

Many wealthy people said that it was nothing to invest tens of millions or hundreds of millions. Yu Dongqing made a rough estimate and found that it was already close to 1 billion!

Please.

I'm just making a martial arts film, not building an airplane. Do I need that much investment?

Yu Dongqing asked Yang Liu to reply: Thank you for your concern. The new film is still in the process of being brewed. There is not even a script yet. As for the filming, I don’t know when.

I almost wrote: Investment is risky, everyone needs to be careful.

But there was one person who couldn't refuse.

"Holly, we are old friends."

In Yu Dongqing's small courtyard teahouse, a man with a slicked back hair and shiny hair was sitting on a wicker chair chatting with Yu Dongqing.

Zhang Longwen, CEO of Jinlong Mining Group, now lives in Yanjing and is active in the film and television investment circle.

"Mr. Zhang, why are you being polite to me? Come, drink tea, drink tea." Yu Dongqing smiled and filled the other party's teacup with tea.

"The Mingqian Longjing tea from Hupao Spring was given to me by a friend from a tea house in Hangzhou. How do you like it?"

"Smells, smells good!" Zhang Longwen took a sip and praised it, but his mind was obviously not on the tea.

"Holly, don't forget me about your film investment. This time you have to invest at least 50 million!"

Why.

Others look for money everywhere when they make movies. When I make a movie, others come to give me money, but I don’t like it too much!

But you can't say it. If you say it, others will say that you are Versailles.

This Zhang Longwen can make money.

When I got married, I gave him a wagang worth more than 100,000 yuan. When my son was a full moon, I also gave him a pair of tiger head longevity locks to hang around his neck. Judging from the complete color, it is estimated to be worth 10,000 yuan.

Of course, I didn’t come empty-handed this time. I also gave him a blue and white porcelain vase said to be produced during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty. Although it is not a royal item, it is worth 70,000 to 80,000 yuan.

Fortunately, I am not a public servant, otherwise this would be a bribe, and I would be in jail!

"Mr. Zhang, we are friends, so we won't talk to outsiders." Yu Dongqing didn't laugh like others: "If I really want to film, it will definitely not be as profitable as the upper part."

"Really?" Zhang Longwen was a little doubtful.

"The investment is tens of millions, which is not a small amount. How could I lie to you? You said we are friends."

"Would it be a loss?"

"To tell you the truth, it's really possible." Yu Dongqing smiled slightly, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

"Then why are you still filming?" Zhang Longwen looked at him.

"Because I think it's fun to shoot like this."

Damn it!

Those tens of millions and hundreds of millions of dollars are just for fun?

Good for you.

Zhang Longwen's face was uncertain.

Suddenly, he slapped his thigh: "Then I will also invest and play with you!"

Ah?

As expected, he is a coal boss and has courage.

Yu Dongqing smiled and said there was no need to rush the matter. It would be enough to wait for me to write the script and then discuss it slowly.

Just as he sent Zhang Longwen to the gate, Yu Dongqing's cell phone rang again. When he saw that it was Li Wan, he knew what was going on.

"Dongqing, are you going to make a new movie? I should be the producer, right?" Li Wan got straight to the point.

"Okay." This time Yu Dongqing agreed without hesitation.

I have worked with Li Wan several times and we are very happy with each other.

"Also, my studio needs investment."

I@#￥ # ￥%%

Yu Dongqing had no choice but to explain again that I would slowly write the script first and then talk about it later.

After hanging up Li Wan's call, Yu Dongqing returned to the living room and saw the blue and white porcelain vase sent by Zhang Longwen on the coffee table, with Mingliang looking at it curiously.

"What? Can you tell the difference between a genuine and a fake?"

"I don't have that vision." Meiliang replied: "Husband, I have an idea."

"What do you think?"

"Let's also buy some antiques and other things to increase the aroma of books in the house."

Yu Dongqing thinks it doesn't matter what kind of bookishness it adds, but it's still a good investment. You can't always buy a house, right?

Buy gold in troubled times, and hide antiques in prosperous times.

It makes sense.

"But, I don't know how to do it." Yu Dongqing replied.

"My dad understands. I'll go back to my parents' house tomorrow to talk to my dad and ask him to help me look around and buy some suitable ones."

"Okay, you can take care of this."

Yu Dongqing was too lazy to worry about it, and he didn't have the taste for it.

Instead of wandering around Panjiayuan and Liulichang, we might as well drink tea and go fishing.

This weekend, Yu Dongqing was fishing, naturally with three close friends.

Still at Shangzhuang Reservoir.

They have visited all the fishing places near Yanjing, but they still like to come here.

In late spring, on the way to the reservoir, Yu Dongqing felt happy when he saw the wild flowers blooming on the roadside.

It's still the same place, a three-way bay in Shangzhuang Reservoir. Four people are lined up in a row, sitting on the pony and looking at the fishing rods in the lake.

The spring breeze blows, and I see red flowers and green willows everywhere, which is very comfortable.

It doesn't matter whether you catch something or not, it's just a matter of mood.

"Dongqing, do you really plan to make another martial arts movie?" Zhang Yang turned around and asked.

"Now that everyone is saying this, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it if I don't take pictures." Yu Dongqing replied.

"Then let's take pictures. Seeing you holding your big fat son at home all day long and becoming a housewife, I'm worried for you."

"Is it the sequel to "The Swordsman"? Many people on the Internet have said so." Liu Yimin also interjected.

Yu Dongqing shook his head.

"no."

"From the perspective of economic benefits, making a sequel is a safe choice," said Du Hui, who has always been quiet about fishing. "But sequels are difficult to make. Many sequels are not as good as the previous ones, and they end up being a mess."

"So I won't take pictures." Yu Dongqing laughed.

"Then what kind of story are you going to shoot? A storm in the temple or a battle for hegemony in the rivers and lakes?"

"No, no, this time I will shoot love and human nature."
