Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

After dinner in the evening, there was a howling north wind outside, and it was impossible to go out for a walk. Yu Dongqing sat in his study, turned on the computer and prepared to write music.

There is one theme song and three interludes in the movie "East Comes West".

"Who is the Big Hero", "I Love You", "Brother is Pretty" and "Squatting with Xiangsiyan", among which the theme song "Who is the Big Hero" is the most familiar to everyone?

It turns out that Huang Zhan of Time and Space wrote the lyrics and composed the music, and Jacky Cheung sang it. In fact, this song is the earliest theme song of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", earlier than Huang Rihua and Weng Meiling's version.

Yu Dongqing hasn't watched it either, but mainland fans are familiar with this song through "Dongchengxijiu".

Excellent martial arts skills

Ask how many people in the world can reach the top

Success and prestige

How many men are really heroes?

Yu Dongqing hummed while writing lyrics.

There is also a Cantonese version of this song, but Yu Dongqing is not familiar with it.

Forget it, the theme song in the Cantonese version of the movie in Hong Kong also uses this, and the lyrics written by Huang Zhan have this advantage.

Singing in Mandarin sounds good, but singing in Cantonese still sounds good!

He is indeed a poet of his generation.

Yu Dongqing sighed in his heart, but there were two lyrics that were not suitable and needed to be revised.

The other three songs are not too familiar.

The lyrics of "I Love You" are also written by Huang Zhan, but the music is adapted from the overture of Rossini's opera "William Tell".

It turns out that Hong Qi, played by Jacky Cheung, jumped around and sang this song in that time and space. It was so funny. This scene is still included in the movie this time. This song must be included.

"Song of Love" is not a new song, but a very old song. It was originally the theme song of an old black and white movie "Wang Lao Wu" in the 1930s.

It's just that Leslie Cheung, Huang Zhan, Lei Songde and others re-wrote and arranged the song, changing the "poverty" sung in the original song "Wang Lao Wu Ge", and jointly created this nonsensical song "Doing" which is full of comedy. "Missing the Swallow".

Zhang: Beautiful Chanjuan, rare to see in a thousand years. The scent of orchid and musk makes me extremely dizzy.

Huang: You really praise me a lot. Flowers in the mist are not worth what you want to see.

Zhang: My dear sister, I long to meet you. You are so beautiful and enviable as a fairy.

Filming was in a hurry, but songwriting Yu Dongqing was not in a hurry. It took a week to write four songs, and he notified several buddies in the WeChat group that he was ready to sing!

Amidst the flying snowflakes, the year passed again.

Yu Dongqing came out of the office building of Qike Creative Park. The post-production of "East to West" has been completed. Now it only needs to be sent to the relevant departments for review and issuance of the dragon mark.

Also, the master film was handed over to Hong Kong-based Universal Pictures to produce the Cantonese version. According to the plan, the film will be staged simultaneously in the three places on both sides of the Taiwan Strait on New Year's Day this year as a New Year's film during the Spring Festival.

Yu Dongqing looked at the snowflakes flying in the sky and said to Li Wan beside him: "I will not go to this road show."

"Why?"

"Too tired! Do you think I have rested since August?" Yu Dongqing cried bitterly: "Also, after the Spring Festival, we have to start filming "Ashes of Time" again." I was so busy that I didn't even have time to drink tea. No, and I have to spend time with my son! "

Yu Dongqing said the last sentence so confidently that Li Wan was speechless.

"Okay. You drink your tea at home and hold your baby." Li Wan finally said: "But your wife is too beautiful to follow me to the road show! Liu Yi, Ye Xiaomin, and the three leading actors from Xiangjiang and Baodao , I have already agreed, no one can be left behind!"

Seeing that Yu Dongqing didn't seem to want to agree, Li Wan said earnestly, "Brother, "East and West" will lose money. We can make more money at the box office by relying on "East and West". You two must come up with one."

"Forget it, I'll go and let Meimei stay at home." Yu Dongqing spoke.

It was a cold day and he had to travel to more than a dozen cities non-stop. He felt a little sorry for his little wife.

But when she got home and heard about this, Meimei immediately volunteered: "Husband, you have worked hard and rest at home. I will follow Li Wan in the road show! Liang Xiyan is not afraid of being tired, so what should I be afraid of?"

Ouch?

Why does it sound like a secret rivalry?

Since Mingliang wanted to go, Yu Dongqing wouldn't stop him.

The daughter-in-law left in a hurry with her suitcase, and followed the creative team to Shenyang first, and then all the way south.

Yu Dongqing is taking care of her children at home, not one but two.

Yu Tongtong is also on holiday.

The siblings have a very good relationship. Yu Tongtong likes to hug Lele when she gets home, as if he bought her a big toy, and Lele also likes to follow her sister.

Now I can also speak simple words. One day when she was called "Sister, sister", Peipianpidian followed Yu Tongtong. When her sister was practicing the piano, he wouldn't let her go and stood beside her to cause trouble.

At this time, Yu Dongqing asked the nanny to take her son away quickly.

It seems that my daughter is ready to eat the piano.

Then practice hard.

There is a nanny to take care of the children, the mother-in-law comes to visit her two grandchildren from time to time, and there are employees from the housekeeping company to help with housework, so Yu Dongqing's life at home is also very relaxed.

I get up in the morning and go for a run and drink tea. When the weather gets better and the sun comes out, I take my son to Qianhai for a walk, or stand by the lake and watch some old men playing chess. However, I can’t go to the battle myself with my child.

Yu Dongqing was relaxed, but Mingliang was very busy. Li Wan led the team non-stop and swept through almost half of China.

The road show was pretty good.

"It's so funny!" This is the audience's biggest impression after watching the movie.

For this reason, the famous film critic Zhang Liming wrote this film review:

Mr. Yu Dongqing's "East and West" filmed has changed the style of the drama "The Swordsman" before. The drama is full of a lot of nonsensical and happy scenes.

In this movie, everything is just because of the word "happy". I want to be a king, so what am I afraid of? Just do it if you feel happy.

I like same-sex people, there is nothing to avoid, just do it if you feel happy.

I like the third princess, so I abandon my junior sister and go after her. Who cares about human ethics? Just do it if you feel happy.

You start giving out red envelopes and saying auspicious words as soon as you hit the target. What’s so outrageous? Just make me happy! As a human being, the most important thing is to be happy!

I wonder what kind of surprises Yu Dongqing's yet-to-be-finished "Ashes of Time" will give us?

Of course, there are also those who criticize.

Ma Kai is one of them. This time he is not secretive and is full of firepower.

What a disappointment!

As Yu Dongqing, who made the movie "The Swordsman", he also went to make bad movies!

The story is patchwork, with a lot of nonsensical funny plots, low-grade jokes about pretending to be ugly and weird, and exaggerated character expressions. What is the meaning of martial arts? What is the meaning of humanity?

Could it be that Yu Dongqing has exhausted his talent?

Also @Yu Dongqing.

This time, Yu Dongqing gave an unprecedented answer:

I was originally going to make a New Year movie where the whole family, men, women, old and young, go to the cinema with popcorn in hand and watch a happy movie. That’s all. You insist on discussing martial arts and human nature with me.

Then please watch my next movie "Ashes of Time".

On the first day of the first lunar month, "East and West", which made a lot of noise some time ago, was officially released.
