Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

But Yu Dongqing still refused.

Fried instant noodles in every episode?

Do you really think of bean buns as dry food?

It's good if someone orders this thing once in a while, but why do people order it every day?

The filming of the new drama is scheduled to start on August 16. On this evening, all the crew members gathered at the shooting site in the urban village of Fossil Camp.

After a simple booting ceremony, shooting officially began.

Yu Dongqing put on a crew-neck shirt, large pants, and flip-flops. They were all old clothes she wore at home, and they fit perfectly. She also wore an old, oil-stained apron around her waist - it had the sponsor's trademark printed on it.

His hair has been cut into a round shape, and a wet towel hangs around his neck, making him look like a barbecue uncle.

The first set of shots taken today is the plot of the conflict between the urban management Lao Yang and the pancake seller. Yu Dongqing is busy in the barbecue restaurant. There are four tables outside, with diners sitting in twos and threes - looking for the surrounding extras and others. The crew acted simply, eating and drinking happily.

Yu Dongqing is the protagonist, and the actual photographer of this scene was Meimei. She held a loudspeaker and shouted: "Attention, actors and units! Start!"

As the recorder rang the record, the filming officially began, and there was a group of melon-eating people around to watch the fun.

Lao Yang, played by Cao Helin and wearing a Zou Zou Baba urban management uniform, rode a small electric donkey from the intersection and turned into the barbecue restaurant. As soon as he stopped and didn't get off the car, he shouted to Yu Dongqing who was busy in the store.

"Lao Hui!"

"Ouch. Master Yang is here." Yu Dongqing limped out of the store quickly, took the towel around his neck and wiped the sweat on his face, with a smile on his face: "Master Yang, eat something What? Like the third child?"

But I saw Lao Yang with a stern face: "I told you, Lao Hui, no stalls are allowed outside the door! Clean it up quickly."

"I know, it's already past ten o'clock, and there aren't many people on the street." Yu Dongqing explained with a smile.

"You are not allowed to set up a stall if there are only a few people! This is the rule above!"

"I understand, I understand." Yu Dongqing was still smiling: "I will stop after these tables are finished. Have two drinks?"

"That's okay. You're the third one." Lao Yang said, parked the e-donkey, shouted "Get out!" to the stray dog ​​squatting next to him, and sat on the empty table at the edge.

"Okay. Chicken skin and roasted gluten, please wait a moment." Yu Dongqing said, limping into the store again and getting busy.

"OK, stop!" Mingliang, who was looking at the video camera, shouted as the first shot was finished.

"How's it going?" Yu Dongqing asked with a smile.

"Very good. Like a barbecue master." Mingliang said with a smile.

Yu Dongqing watched the video carefully again, pondered it for a while, and then stood up to take a shot. Suddenly, he discovered that the mutton skewers on the plate on the table next to him were all finished!

He couldn't help but blurt out: "Why do you eat so fast?!"

Several extras suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, Director Yu, your roast was too fragrant, I couldn't hold it back."

The rest of the people laughed immediately after hearing this.

The items on the table are not props, they are all freshly grilled mutton skewers!

It’s so mouth-watering, who wouldn’t want to eat it?

"Okay, okay, when today's shooting mission is over, I'll treat everyone to a good meal!"

"Okay!" Everyone said happily.

This scene was very comfortable to shoot.

There is free beer to drink and meat skewers to eat every day!

The shooting was going on group by group as planned, and everything went smoothly. Unexpectedly, something went wrong near the end.

Two young men in white shirts, one tall and one short, came out of the corner, talking as they walked.

Seeing this barbecue stall, the two of them sat down. The taller one shouted to Yu Dongqing: "Old man," ten skewers of mutton, ten skewers of lamb kidneys, one grilled fish, and two bottles of beer outside. Come on, hurry up. . "

This time the staff was completely confused.

Master, we are filming, not really setting up a stall!

Seeing the two young people discussing non-stop, Meiliang had an idea and did not signal to stop.

As long as the director doesn't shout to stop, the scene will continue to be filmed!

Hearing the man's shout, Yu Dongqing quickly responded: "Okay. Master, please wait a moment!" He immediately got busy.

Within a few minutes, Yu Dongqing asked the waiter played by Xiao Xi to place a plate of freshly grilled mutton skewers in front of the man and open two bottles of beer.

The two young men were still immersed in a lively discussion.

"The braised pork rice and the mixed sauce noodles you ordered in the afternoon are delicious, but do you know which brand of braised pork rice is the best? No, there is no brand. If we make the braised pork rice an internet celebrity item, To improve the user experience and meet the consumption upgrading trend of today's new middle class, with the help of O2O, online booking, offline delivery, IPO is just around the corner. I have already thought of a name, just call it 'SIR', what do you think?"

"How about we make two single products, braised pork rice mainly for the southern market, and fried noodles with soybean paste mainly for the northern market. You see, we have to re-do research and development. First of all, the products must be standardized and the temperament should be younger. The menu code of soybean fried noodles can be iterated. The design is updated every three months based on user votes, allowing users to participate in product design. Isn’t ingenuity popular now? Let’s promote a bowl of noodles with soy sauce center, and find a few Internet celebrities to eat our noodles. If you look at it, there will be tens of millions of investments in the AB round.”

"Hey, these mutton kebabs taste good. They can also be made into a brand!" The short man noticed something and turned his head towards Yu Dongqing. Only then did he notice the surroundings and found a group of people looking at him and a huge camera. .

Oops

They seem to be filming!

"Sorry, sorry." The two men quickly stood up.

"It's okay." Yu Dongqing limped out of the store with a smile: "Master, how does it taste?"

"Not bad. Are you really filming?" The man didn't believe it.

This damn restaurant is exactly the same as an ordinary barbecue restaurant.

And this smell.

If you don't make movies and change your career to become a barbecue restaurant owner, your business will definitely be popular!

Yu Dongqing smiled and briefly introduced the plot he filmed.

"Yu Dongqing! I recognize you, you are Yu Dongqing!" Only then did the two men realize that the slovenly middle-aged man in front of them, whose face was full of oil smoke, was actually the famous star Yu Dongqing.

Yu Dongqing nodded and made a request: can the camera shot just now be put into the play.

"Is this possible?"

"The film I filmed reflects real life. I think what you just said is very down-to-earth!"

The two young men looked at each other and agreed.

Finally, the two left with ten skewers of roasted mutton and ten skewers of lamb kidneys, and they didn't forget to pay before leaving.

Looking at the two men's retreating figures, Mingliang smiled sweetly and said, "This man is quite interesting."

"Haha, this is life." After saying that, he shouted to everyone: The filming is over tonight, everyone, hurry up and clean up the battlefield! "

"Okay." Everyone rushed forward to get the barbecued meat skewers.

Yu Dongqing walked into the barbecue restaurant and continued to be busy - anyway, these barbecues will not be fresh until tomorrow night, so it is better to eat them directly.

The leisurely shooting life began.

There is barbecue every night, and sometimes there is beer. Some people joked that they have never seen any film crew with such good food.

The filming lasted until November. From summer to winter, Yu Dongqing's clothes also changed from a vest and large pants to a military coat.

Today, we finished filming the last unit - the last shot of Lao Pao'er's story, and it was announced that it was finished.

Next is the intense post-production stage, which is expected to be staged during the Spring Festival.
