Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

Yu Dongqing looked over and saw a girl in her twenties sitting next to her, wearing work clothes, sobbing softly while eating hot pot. She looked very delicate.

The napkin she brought ran out, and the girl wiped her face with her hands.

Seeing this, Meili took out a pack of toilet paper from her bag and handed it to her son, whispering: "Lele, give it to my sister."

Lele immediately walked up to the girl with a pack of toilet paper and said in a childish voice: "Sister, here you go."

The girl was feeling sad alone, when she suddenly saw a little boy handing over a packet of paper, and a smile immediately appeared on her face: "Thank you."

Lele came back after delivering the paper, turned to look at the girl who was wiping her tears, and asked in a low voice: "Mom, Dad, why is sister crying? Isn't the hot pot delicious? I think the hot pot is delicious."

This question is really hard to answer.

"Sister, did something unhappy happen to you, or did you miss your parents?" Meili explained in a low voice.

oh.

Lele seems to understand but not understand.

The girl cried for a while and then left in a hurry after paying the bill.

Adult society is really not easy.

Yu Dongqing sighed inwardly.

Looking at the various aspects of life in the hot pot restaurant, Yu Dongqing must have suddenly said to Meimei: "If you make a story about ordinary people eating hot pot or food stalls to reflect the various aspects of the world, the name will be "Midnight Diner". What do you think? How about it?"

"Movie?"

"In a TV series, one unit tells a story."

"You want to make a TV series?!"

"What? Do you look down on TV dramas?" Yu Dongqing asked.

There is an unwritten chain of contempt in the film and television industry.

Those who make movies look down on those who make TV series

Those who work in TV dramas look down on those who shoot commercials

Advertisers look down on those who shoot promotional videos

Those who make promotional videos look down on those who make documentaries

Those who make documentaries look down upon those who make short videos

Those who make short videos look down on those who film weddings

Those who photograph weddings look down upon those who photograph private events.

But it doesn't matter to Yu Dongqing, as long as she's happy that way, didn't she take a DV to shoot a wedding in her hometown?

Nothing to be ashamed of.

Seeing that her husband was serious, Meili thought about it seriously: "This kind of drama is a sitcom. The most difficult thing is to have a good script. But my husband, you are a master of writing scripts, so there will be no problem!"

Ah?

Overestimating me.

I have been a time and space porter before, but this time I am truly original.

Don't be in a hurry, you have plenty of time, think slowly.

Time flies by in June, and summer has entered Yanjing. The movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine" was released as scheduled, and it really caused a huge response and made countless people cry.

The box office revenue exceeded 600 million in the first three days!

The Douban score is as high as 9.0.

For this reason, Wang Dongsheng and Li Wan called Yu Dongqing respectively, and Wang Dongsheng expressed his gratitude to Yu Dongqing with excitement.

"Thank you, thank you, Brother Yu, I" Wang Dongsheng was a little incoherent.

"Thank you for what? You did a good job in the film. When the box office proceeds come in, you can quickly buy a house and let your wife and children move in. If you have your own house in Yanjing, you will be considered a Yanjing native."

"I understand, I understand. To tell you the truth, Chen Li can't wait to see the house."

Ah?

According to the contract originally signed, director Wang Dongsheng did not receive a basic salary but a commission, which was 1% of the total box office.

In the original time and space, the box office of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" was as high as 3.1 billion, but now based on the popularity of its release, it should be no problem to exceed 3 billion.

Based on the box office revenue of 3 billion, 1% is 30 million!

Excluding the 20% personal income tax, it is more than enough to buy a high-end house with three bedrooms and two living rooms of 120 square meters in the third ring road of Yanjing.

It is said that Li Wan will compete for this year's Golden Horse Awards with this film.

But Yu Dongqing doesn't care about this.

He thought for a while, picked up the phone and made a call, which was to Yang Liu.

"Yang Liu, the box office revenue of "I Am the God of Medicine" invested in it is expected to be good. In the future, 10% of the net investment income will be donated to the New Sunshine Fund."

"New Sunshine Fund?"

"It is a professional public welfare organization that mainly funds leukemia treatment. Please understand the specific situation carefully and handle this matter yourself. Don't make any noise."

"Understood, Teacher Yu."

Yu Dongqing hung up the phone and looked at the wisteria flowers blooming in the courtyard. She calculated that she would donate 50 million.

In the original time and space, this movie ended up donating a total of 3.8 million yuan.

I'll just donate more.

Meimei packed her suitcase and went to attend the New Jersey Film Festival held in the United States in mid-June.

"Roadside Picnic" has already won several awards.

Golden Horse Award for Best Director, Yanjing University Student Film Festival’s Best Screenplay and Best Director Awards, European Independent Film Festival’s Best Non-European Feature Film, and the Non-European Director Award.

This time it was also nominated for Best Director at the New Jersey Film Festival, so Meimei wanted to go there. Of course, this is just a purpose, I also want to go to Philadelphia to visit my daughter Tongtong.

go Go.

Yu Dongqing is very supportive.

As soon as the daughter-in-law left, the nanny Xiaxia took her son Lele to her father-in-law's house again, and Yu Dongqing was the only one left in the small courtyard in Nanluogu Lane.

The days were very leisurely.

That night, Yu Dongqing first went to his father-in-law's house in Houhai to visit his son. At nine o'clock in the evening, he drove back to his small courtyard. On the way, he suddenly received a call from Zhang Yang.

"What are you doing?"

"I just went to my father-in-law's house to visit my son, and now I'm going to go home and sleep."

"Why are you sleeping? Meimei is not at home, come out quickly!"

"what?"

"Give skewers and drink beer!"

"Go to Yimin's place?"

"No, let's go to my friend's place. It's on Niu Street. Brother Ren is having a barbecue. Du Hui is here too."

Ah?

This guy came all the way from Haidian to Niujie to eat barbecue?

"Okay, don't worry, I'll come back and change my clothes."

"Hurry up."

Yu Dongqing drove back to her small courtyard in Nanluogu Lane, put on a vest and shorts, and didn't drive because she knew she was going to drink. She took a taxi online and went straight to Niujie Street.

Niujie is located on Guang'anmen Inner Street, and it is particularly lively at night. There is a saying in old Yanjing: "Yanjing's snacks are in Xuanwu, and Xuanwu's snacks are in Niujie."

Braised pork in a copper pot, fried bean juice, rice cakes and candied haws, of course the most popular is barbecue.

Yu Dongqing quickly found the barbecue restaurant Zhang Yang mentioned. It didn't have a big appearance, but there were many people on the street outside the store.

"Holly, here!"

Yu Dongqing hurriedly walked over and saw the three best friends there.

"Okay, Du Hui, you came from Haidian to Xuanwu to have barbecue in the middle of the night, and Ke Yao doesn't care?" Yu Dongqing sat down on the chair and asked.

"Business trip."

"Huh? Sure enough, if your wife is not at home, no one will care about you."

"Are you not?" Du Hui picked up a mutton skewer and said leisurely.

"I said that you two married a little wife, and you laugh at the same time. Don't blame anyone." Zhang Yang intervened.

"It's better for me and Yimin, we are an old married couple. No one will care about you wherever you go."

Ah?

That's what I said.

Yu Dongqing shut up immediately, grabbed a bunch of lamb kidneys and ate them.

Holding a skewer in one hand and a beer glass in the other, my mouth was full of oil as I ate, so happy.

"Drinking skewers and drinking beer is one of the great pleasures in life." Zhang Yang took a sip of beer and couldn't help but sigh.
