Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

The weather in Yanjing has been good these two days, and the wind and sand in the sky from the previous period have been wiped away. Blue sky, white clouds and bright sunshine.

Yu Dongqing was sitting in his tea room, drinking Longjing tea comfortably.

Since returning to Yanjing during the Chinese New Year, Yu Dongqing has stopped all work and spends his days running, drinking tea, chatting and fishing with old friends.

Oh, I’ll take the baby out for a walk on the weekend.

I have been busy filming "The Wandering Earth" for almost two years, and now I finally have a good rest.

But there is another person in the tea room today - Li Wan.

"Lao Li, if you don't go to work in your company, why do you keep coming to my place to hang out with me lately?" Yu Dongqing asked.

"Why, not welcome?" Li Wan asked.

"Welcome, welcome someone to drink tea and chat with me, okay?" Yu Dongqing smiled and said, "Just don't delay your business."

"There is no end to the work." Li Wan sighed: "I want to learn from you." Because I met a monk when I passed the bamboo courtyard and talked to him, I had to spend half a day free. "

Yu Dongqing shook her head after hearing this.

just you?

Can you sit down?

It's like burning your buttocks, sitting there for a while and then leaving.

Sure enough, Li Wan drank two cups of tea, looked at his watch, and grabbed the briefcase placed beside the tea table: "Dongqing, I have to go. Liu Xiaoshuai is going to make a new film and wants me to attract some investment. I have made an appointment with him three times. I have to go back and have a look when we meet."

Of course Yu Dongqing knew Liu Xiaoshuai.

A very talented but arrogant man.

Two years ago, at Wang Dongsheng's wedding banquet, Liu Xiaoshuai said in front of everyone that if the movie "Ashes of Time" was shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival, he would not make movies for two years.

As a result, "Ashes of Time" was not only shortlisted, but also won the highest honor, the Palme d'Or.

Liu Xiaoshuai actually keeps his word. He has not made a movie in two years. I heard that he is currently planning a script.

But Yu Dongqing doesn't care about this.

"Go slowly, don't send me off." Yu Dongqing picked up the bag and said slowly.

We are both old friends, so there is no need to be so polite.

Who would have thought that as soon as Li Wan stepped out of the tea room door, he pulled back, turned around and looked at Yu Dongqing: "Dongqing, how have you considered that matter?"

"What's up?"

"It's just about filming the sequel to "The Wandering Earth". I told you about it a long time ago."

It was indeed said very early.

"The Wandering Earth" was still on the road show, and Li Wan mentioned this and asked Yu Dongqing to consider filming a second film.

Yu Dongqing replied angrily: "Why are you so anxious? The first part is still being released, so you are urging the second part?"

"Of course, strike while the iron is hot, take advantage of the popularity of the first part, and immediately announce the filming of the second part. Isn't this equivalent to warming up in advance?"

This is true.

Yu Dongqing nodded, but did not answer.

Li Wanyi looked a little anxious and returned and sat down opposite Yu Dongqing: "Hey, what do you think? If you want to shoot, I have to make preparations in advance. You know that for a film with such a large investment, I I have to be the producer myself, I don’t trust others.”

Since my old friend mentioned this, Yu Dongqing also expressed what he was thinking: "I want to shoot it, but I don't want to shoot it myself."

"What's the meaning?"

"I will write the script and find a new director."

"Damn it! Are you relieved?"

"What are you worried about?" Yu Dongqing laughed: "I'm not a director in China. It seems like you won't be able to make movies without me."

"Then who do you think can direct?"

"I think Du Xuefeng is pretty good."

After listening to Yu Dongqing's words, Li Wan stared at him and suddenly looked like he had a sudden realization: "No wonder when you were filming "The Wandering Earth", you thought of letting Du Xuefeng film the sequel in the future, so you gave him a lot of work? "

"You're saying the opposite. It's Du Xuefeng who can complete the work I assigned him very well, so I plan to leave the sequel to him. Hey, Lao Li, what do you think of Du Xuefeng's abilities?"

After listening to this, Li Wan thought for a moment: "Du Xuefeng is very capable, has spirituality in making films, and can endure hardships. He is considered one of the outstanding directors of his generation."

"That's fine. Our older generation will retire and the new generation will show off their skills."

Are you old?

Are you calling yourself old when you are not even fifty yet?

This is the golden age for men to do their careers.

Li Wan was angry and funny after hearing this.

But he also knew that Yu Dongqing didn't take his career very seriously.

"No, although Du Xuefeng is very capable, I don't feel comfortable handing over a film worth several hundred million to him." Li Wan expressed his opinion:

"You must have the title of director and overall control of the film's style and direction. I don't want the style of the first and second films to be too different!"

"Okay..." Yu Dongqing had no choice but to agree: "But as you said, I only grasp the overall style of the movie, and I don't care about anything else."

"In a word, you just want to be lazy! Okay, you write the script, and I'll talk to Du Xuefeng. I think this kid will be so happy that he can't even close his mouth."

"Okay, walk slowly." Yu Dongqing slowly picked up the teacup.

"The Wandering Earth" is getting a sequel!

The news spread quickly on the Internet and quickly became a hot search topic.

In the end, Yu Dongqing's studio and Li Wan's producer company both confirmed this on their official websites.

Movie fans are excited.

You can enjoy another visual feast, but the specific preparations for the filming were subsequently announced. The screenwriter is still Yu Dongqing, but he no longer serves as the director and becomes the supervisor producer.

The director became Du Xuefeng.

what happened?

Fans asked questions.

The official answer is: Mr. Yu Dongqing is in poor health, so he disappears from the stage to behind the scenes. At the same time, Du Xuefeng's performance in "The Wandering Earth 1" impressed Yu Dongqing very much. He is capable of directing this movie, and so on.

"Dongqing, are you really sick?" Zhang Yang looked at Yu Dongqing and asked.

Today is the weekend, and Yu Dongqing meets up with three old friends to go fishing together at the most familiar Shangzhuang Reservoir.

It's March in spring, and there are red flowers and green willows everywhere, especially the wild peach trees beside the reservoir, where the flowers are in full bloom.

The weather is nice, the sun is warm, and Yu Dongqing is in a good mood.

Now I suddenly heard Zhang Yang say something like this out of nowhere, and I couldn't help but replied angrily: "What could be wrong with me?!"

"I'm just telling you, look at your rosy face, how could you be sick?"

"He didn't want to make a movie and couldn't give a reasonable explanation to the fans, so he pretended to be ill." Liu Yimin also joined in.

Yu Dongqing cried out after hearing this: "Let me tell you, filming is really tiring, especially a science fiction film like this. Look, have I fished in Shangzhuang Reservoir in the past two years? I was as busy as a dog in one day." "

"Isn't that right? I heard from Li Wan that when you and he were in Shanghai, you often went fishing in Chenjiabang." Zhang Yang revealed ruthlessly:

"Look at your current fishing level, not only has it not declined, but it has improved much more than before."

As Zhang Yang was talking, he saw Yu Dongqing lift the fishing rod and a crucian carp was pulled up.

"Holly, your fishing skills are indeed much better. It seems that you did not miss out on fishing while filming in Shanghai." Du Hui also came over to comment.

Why does this sound weird?
