Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

Although Lu Yongru accepted the song "Martial Arts Hero" recommended by Wu Lan, he always felt that it was not good enough. Of course, filming is still going on.

In Huairou Film and Television Base, a costume drama is being shot intensively.

Huairou Film and Television Base, also known as China Film Capital, is the largest location and post-production base for film and television programs in northern China. It is divided into two parts: the North District and the South District.

The ancient city in the Southern District is an outdoor scenic area, mainly imitating Ming and Qing Dynasty buildings, including streets, courtyards, restaurants, teahouses, pawnshops, theaters, inns, brothels, private houses, prison cells, palaces, county offices, temples and various specifications of city walls, etc. , as well as the Jiangnan water town, the northern town, and the imperial garden. All the houses are made of logs using ancient methods, which are lifelike.

The filming scene of "Martial Arts Heroes" is here, and today we are filming a fight scene. The weather was extremely hot, but director Lu Yongru, regardless of his age, wore a white old man's shirt, big pants, sandals and sandals and kept fanning himself with a cattail leaf fan in his hand.

While looking at the camera, he gave instructions loudly.

At this moment, a staff member hurriedly walked in and whispered to him: "Director Lu, Director Jin is here to visit the class."

Of course Lu Yongru knew who Director Jin was. Jin Yunfeng, the deputy director of Huangdu TV, was in charge of entertainment and was also the chairman of Huangdu Film and Television. This TV series was invested by Huangdu Film and Television, and the two had a good personal relationship. .

After listening to the staff, Lu Yongru whispered a few words to the assistant director next to him, and then hurried out of the filming location.

I saw a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and T-shirt overalls, looking at the surrounding scenery leisurely.

"Director Jin, thank you for coming all the way from the city on such a hot day." Lu Yongru greeted with a smile.

"It's hot, but you, Lao Lu, are still working hard here with a bunch of people. What's the point of me coming to see you?" Jin Yunfeng laughed and said: "I should have come to visit you a long time ago, but I am usually too busy with work, so I just came here to see you." I had to postpone it until today. When I came, I brought some mung bean soup for everyone to relieve the heat." After saying that, with a wave of his hand, several attendants carried several large buckets of mung bean soup from the truck.

Seeing that the TV station leaders wanted to show diligence and love for the people, Lu Yongru immediately stopped the filming and everyone took a rest. He also scooped up a bowl of mung bean soup and took a cool sip to quench his thirst.

The two sat on the chairs in the pavilion and started chatting.

"Lao Lu, did you have any difficulties during the filming? Just say it! This is the highlight of our company and even our TV station this year, so we must shoot it well!" Jin Yunfeng said, his attitude became serious.

After hearing this, Lu Yongru pondered for a moment before saying: "The filming went well. It's the theme song of this TV series. Have you heard of Yu Dongqing?"

"I heard that I recently wrote two hit songs that are very popular." Jin Yunfeng replied.

"Yes, especially the song "Little Knife Club Overture" he wrote for the movie "Jianghu Inn" is really good, so I intentionally asked him to write a theme song for this TV series. I called Wu Lan, the music director of Jinye Records. There, the answer was that Yu Dongqing refused."

"Why?"

"The reason is not very clear. Wu Lan's reply was: Yu Dongqing said that he has no inspiration recently! Later Wu Lan recommended that their company Fang Jinsong wrote a song, but I always felt that the taste was not enough. Director Jin, listen to it .”

After speaking, Lu Yongru took out his mobile phone and played an audio track. It was the song "Martial Arts Hero" written by Fang Jinsong.

Jin Yunfeng listened carefully.

The whole song is quite good, but the melody and soundtrack are still too different from the "Little Knife Club Overture". It seems that Lu Yongru has high requirements.

"I feel that Wu Lan said that Yu Dongqing has no inspiration, which is probably the other party's pushback." Lu Yongru added.

After hearing what Lu Yongru said, Jin Yunfeng pondered for a moment and then said: "How about I ask you again? Let's see what Yu Dongqing thinks?"

"Are you going to find Mr. Tan from their company?" Lu Yongru asked.

"No, since Wu Lan replied like this, there is no point in looking for Tan Songlin. These talented people are often arrogant. You can't just rely on the leader to put pressure on him." Jin Yunfeng said with a smile.

"Then what are you going to do?" Lu Yongru asked curiously.

"Isn't my daughter-in-law in the editorial department of Jinye Music? I called her to ask if she is familiar with Yu Dongqing, and see if I can find out the reason from the side."

Lu Yongru then remembered that Jin Yunfeng's daughter-in-law Luo Yun was at Jinye Company!

After Jin Yunfeng finished speaking, he stood up and walked aside to pick up the phone.

Luo Yun was working in the workroom when she suddenly heard the cell phone ringing on her desk. When she saw that the number was from her father-in-law, she immediately picked up the phone and left the office to a quiet place in the corridor.

"Dad, I'm at work, is there something wrong?"

Jin Yunfeng didn't make any small talk, and went straight to the point: "Xiaoyun, are you familiar with Yu Dongqing from your company?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Yun suddenly became wary.

Usually my father-in-law rarely calls me, but this time he suddenly called me to ask about this?

She thought for a while and answered vaguely: "Dad, Yu Dongqing and I are colleagues and work in the same office. What's wrong?"

"Oh, that's right, isn't our company filming a TV series? We want Yu Dongqing to write a theme song." Jin Yufeng briefly explained what happened.

"Xiaoyun, if it's convenient for you, ask Yu Dongqing privately what the problem is and whether you are willing to help?"

I can’t tell anyone else about this, but I should look for Yu Dongqing.

Luo Yun immediately felt relieved.

However, she still answered cautiously: "Dad, I will definitely help you ask, but I'm not sure whether the other party is willing to help."

"I know, just ask. Also, is Xiaohai back?" Jin Yunfeng suddenly asked, changing the topic.

Xiao Hai is Jin Hai, Jin Yunfeng's only son and Luo Yun's husband.

After hearing her father-in-law's question, Luo Yun said quietly: "It has been almost three months since I arrived in Xiangjiang. I said I was coming back but there has been no news. Sometimes I don't answer my phone calls. I always say I am busy with work."

After hearing his daughter-in-law's slightly resentful tone, Jin Yunfeng sighed in his heart.

My son is really disobedient. If you leave such a good wife at home for a long time, aren't you worried about something happening?

But as an elder, he couldn't interfere in matters between juniors, let alone say anything on the phone to his daughter-in-law. He could only say that he called Jin Hai to urge Jin Hai to come back early, and comforted Luo Yun to call him if she had any difficulties. Make phone calls and go home to check in when you have nothing to do.

Luo Yun agreed.

My husband is not good, but my father-in-law is pretty good to me.

After hanging up Jin Yunfeng's call, Luo Yun did not rush back to the office. Instead, she thought about it and took out her phone again. This time she called Yu Dongqing directly.

After a while, the call was connected.

"Holly, what are you busy with? Are you comfortable at home during the holidays? Did you take your precious daughter to swim?"

On the phone, Luo Yun asked gently.

"Well, I'm repairing the circuit at my father-in-law's house. There is a problem with the socket in his bedroom." Yu Dongqing said on the other end of the phone.

"Hey. You can also repair circuits?" Luo Yun was surprised.
