Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

Of course Yu Dongqing would not agree or refuse easily. He was really unfamiliar with Huang Jiahui as an actor.

"Can you please send me the movie videos you shot before so I can take a look first?" Yu Dongqing requested.

"OK! No problem."

Huang Jiahui soon sent a few videos, which were several Hong Kong movies in which he starred.

There are cops and gangsters, martial arts, and even an urban film with a literary and artistic flair.

Sometimes his eyes are melancholy, sometimes stern, and some of his videos are often funny. He seems to be an all-rounder.

Yu Dongqing replied to the other party quickly.

You can let him play the role of Dongxie. As for the salary, it is up to the producer and your agent to negotiate.

Yu Dongqing is going to make a martial arts movie again!

Yang Liu revealed the news on the studio's official Weibo, and it quickly became a hot topic.

Fans were surprised and delighted, leaving messages one after another. Some even went to Yu Dongqing's Weibo to ask if it was true and if it was the sequel to "The Swordsman"?

Yu Dongqing admitted the matter openly, but revealed that the film's title is "Ashes of Time", which is the nickname of the two main characters in the film. The plot cannot be disclosed, but it must have nothing to do with "The Swordsman". Everything is there In the midst of preparations, it is still unknown when filming will begin.

Although there are only a few words, it is enough to excite fans.

It’s time to watch another visual feast!

A high-end villa in downtown Yanjing.

"Yunjie, do you really want to make a cameo in Yu Dongqing's movie?"

A middle-aged man in the living room said to Li Yunjie sitting on the sofa.

He is Li Yunjie’s agent Wang Dongming.

"Yes, if you can't play the leading role, can you play a small guest role?" Li Yunjie said with a smile.

It turns out that since it was announced on the Internet that Yu Dongqing would make a new martial arts movie, Li Yunjie immediately called Yu Dongqing himself and wanted to star in the film's male lead.

Unexpectedly, I was declined by Yu Dongqing!

The other party’s meaning is very clear:

What I shoot is not a pure martial arts film like "The Swordsman", but more literary drama, so it is not suitable for you.

Of course Li Yunjie knew his shortcomings, but he still felt a little regretful.

But Yu Dongqing also said that there is a horse thief named Kuai Dao in the play, and the role suits him very well. Would you like to make a cameo?

Li Yunjie agreed without hesitation.

Manager Wang Dongming didn't know about this yet. He heard the news later and hurried back to ask questions, and that's when the first scene happened.

"Yunjie, you are our number one star in the mainland, but you ended up playing a small role with a formal name? Let your fans know what to think?" Wang Dongming asked.

"Brother Wang, you don't understand. To be honest, I, Li Yunjie, am today thanks to Director Yu's cultivation. I will always remember this feeling."

After speaking, Li Yunjie smiled: "Besides, it would be an honor to be able to film Director Yu's martial arts film. Moreover, Director Yu also said that originally the character of the sharp swordsman did not show his face in the script. If I acted, I could give it to him. A close-up of me."

I@##￥

Wang Dongming simply didn't know what to say.

"Okay, what about the remuneration? I'll talk to the producer." Wang Dongming finally said.

"What's the salary for just a few scenes? I told Director Yu, a friendly guest appearance!" Li Yunjie laughed.

It's mid-July, and the cast of "Ashes of Time" has officially announced the first newsletter, featuring the main cast of the film.

Shu Wenrong, Meili Liang, Liang Xiyan, Liu Yi, Huang Jiahui, Ye Xiaomin, Li Yunjie

When movie fans saw this cast list, they immediately became excited!

Oh my God

Such a luxurious lineup!

There are as many as four of the various movie kings and queens! A large number of powerful actors have joined the cast, and it is said that Li Yunjie, the top mainland star, is just a guest star!

"Ashes of Time" was immediately rated as the most anticipated movie of the year by moviegoers, bar none.

Movie fans are happy, but of course some are uncomfortable.

"Dongqing, the investment in this movie is at least 200 million, and the salary alone is as high as 90 million." In Yu Dongqing's tea room, Li Wan said to Yu Dongqing with a wry smile.

This time the two of them did not go to Minghui Tea House, and he had no intention of doing so.

The salary of 90 million was the result of multiple communications between Li Wan and the agents of several major actors, and the other parties also offered friendly prices.

This does not include Li Yunjie's 0 remuneration. Meili's remuneration and Yu Dongqing's remuneration are based on 1% of future film profits.

Otherwise higher.

Yu Dongqing took a sip of herbal tea and said to Li Wan with a smile: "What are you worried about? Aren't there so many film and television companies rushing to invest before? 200 million yuan is not enough?"

"If I read your script, I guess not many people would dare to come." Li Wan sighed.

"Don't be anxious, just stick to the plan. First contact a few major investors to see their attitude." Yu Dongqing said leisurely.

Office of the President of Huangdu Film and Television Group.

Jin Yunfeng was sitting on the boss's chair, with several documents placed on the large boss's desk.

The script, plan and budget of "The Poison of East and West".

"Lao Lu, I specially called you here today to hear your opinion." Jin Yunfeng asked Lu Yongru who was sitting on the sofa next to him.

Lu Yongru had already read the script and asked Jin Yunfeng.

“Did the company decide it wasn’t going to invest?”

"To tell you the truth, a project demonstration meeting has been held, and the managers concluded that the film will lose money, so they recommended that the company not invest."

"What do you mean, Mr. Jin?"

"Hey, I'm in a dilemma. I almost begged Yu Dongqing to film it, but I didn't expect this guy to come up with such a script. What do you want me to do now?"

"Although Yu Dongqing is usually gentle and elegant, he is actually a man who does not follow common sense and has wild ideas. He is the only one who dares to make such a movie and invite so many big-name stars." Lu Yongru said with a smile: "If it is Me, I don’t dare to take pictures.”

"Then tell me, does the company invest or not?"

"From my personal point of view, just looking at the script, if the film is well-made and has high artistic value, it is certainly worth investing in. But from the perspective of the company's economic interests, such a film will definitely suffer losses, so it is best not to invest."

"I think so too, Yu Dongqing, Yu Dongqing gave me a difficult problem." Jin Yunfeng scratched his thin hair in annoyance.

"Let's do this. If the company invests 20 million, it will be regarded as a friendly investment."

Friendly investment?

Lu Yongru heard this name for the first time.

It seems that Yu Dongqing still has a lot of face.

If it was anyone else, he would have been PASSed long ago.

"Dongqing, Huangdu Film and Television called this morning and said that they are willing to invest 20 million. We will discuss the specific details."

Yu Dongqing had just finished taking a nap when he received a call from Li Wan.

"Oh, I thought Mr. Jin didn't invest a penny, but invested 20 million. Okay, I don't know if there is any news from Xiangjiang Huanyu."

"Not yet, why don't you call and ask?"

"Don't worry, let me think about it carefully."

Zhou Fanming has been thinking about this matter recently.

He had never thought about investing in a movie for so long, and it was so nerve-wracking.
