Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

The Peking Coffee Shop is located at the intersection of Nanluogu Lane and Maoer Hutong. The coffee shop is decorated with flowers all year round. These flowers are personally selected by the shop owner at the flower market every early morning.

Because it is winter, there are not as many flowers as in summer, but immersing yourself in the sea of ​​flowers is still enough to sweep away the gloom in your heart.

Yu Dongqing and Luo Yun were sitting at the coffee table by the window. Perhaps it was morning, and there were not many people drinking coffee, so it seemed very quiet.

The two of them each wanted a cup of hand-brewed coffee and drank it slowly.

It tastes pretty good.

In fact, Yu Dongqing does not like drinking coffee, but prefers drinking tea. But I knew that Luo Yun liked this, and was especially interested in Macchiato.

Add two tablespoons of milk foam to espresso to make a macchiato. Macchiato means mark or brand in Italian, so it symbolizes the mark of sweetness.

Today she ordered a cup of macchiato, while Yu Dongqing drank a latte.

"Dongqing, what are you going to do after leaving your job?" Luo Yun asked.

"Have a good rest and spend more time with Tongtong."

"You are just a daughter slave!" Luo Yun said angrily.

"Haha. Envy? You can also give birth to a daughter and dress her up beautifully."

"I?"

After hearing Yu Dongqing's words, Luo Yun's face suddenly darkened, she sighed slightly, lowered her head and drank coffee.

What's wrong?

Yu Dongqing felt baffled.

"Okay, let's not talk about this." Luo Yun raised her head and looked at the other person: "The theme song you recently wrote for the movie "Hello, Teacher" is absolutely popular."

"Is it okay?"

"Hey, Dongqing, are you invested in this movie?" Luo Yun leaned forward and asked in a low voice.

"Why did you say that?" Yu Dongqing pretended not to understand.

"You haven't updated your Weibo in more than half a year. You just updated it two days ago with one sentence: Calling fans to go to the movies."

"I wrote the theme song for this movie. Of course I also hope that the movie will be popular. I'm helping out. Isn't that too much?" Yu Dongqing said with a smile.

"Really?" Luo Yun smiled slyly.

"Then your sister-in-law Meimei has been promoting going to the movies on her Bilibili, Weibo, and Douyin recently, instead of just listening to this song!"

Ah?

However, Yu Dongqing did not ask Meili to do this, but she volunteered and actively forwarded the propaganda in various groups and online forums she joined.

Seeing what Luo Yun said, Yu Dongqing didn't intend to hide it anymore and said that he saw the crew's financial difficulties and invested nearly 2 million in it.

"Can you make money?"

"Of course I hope to make a profit, who wants to do a loss-making business?" Yu Dongqing laughed. "I feel that the movie is pretty good. Of course, the audience has the final say on whether it is good or not."

"The competition at the box office during the Spring Festival is fierce." Luo Yun is also a little worried.

"At most, the 2 million was wasted. I had to write more songs to make up for the loss." Yu Dongqing said in a half-joking and half-serious tone.

"Yeah? From this perspective, I still hope you will lose money." Luo Yunjiao smiled and said, "I can listen to more songs you write!"

Of course this is just a joke.

"Hey, when are you going to set up a studio?" Luo Yun suddenly mentioned another topic.

"studio?"

"Yes, for example, did you personally discuss the investment in the movie this time? Do the remuneration that the other party needs to pay when you write and sing songs, investment, and contract signing take up a lot of your time?"

"It's nothing. I only need one afternoon to invest in the movie this time." Yu Dongqing leaned back with a smile.

"Really? What do you think about the future? In the future, there will definitely be many companies and singers inviting you to write songs, and even invite you to participate in various variety shows. Do you feel cumbersome with this kind of copyright and salary? Even signing a contract with a singer."

"If you don't set up a studio and have no one to help you take care of it, how can you have time to spend the day with your baby daughter, take photos with your father-in-law, and hang out and drink beer with a few of your old friends?"

"Leave these matters to me, and I guarantee that you will not be disturbed by these trivial matters and can spend your days leisurely." Luo Yun smiled. "Of course, I will also have channel resources. I have told you this before, and it is not limited to what I said.

Yu Dongqing smiled.

In fact, he already knew what Luo Yun was thinking.

"Luo Yun, I have a question for you."

"Just ask."

"Luo Yun, your family is rich and you have no worries about food and clothing. If you work at Jinye for the music you like, then why do you want to be an agent? Are you short of money?"

"You can say so. I seem to have everything I need, but these things are based on a contract and may be lost at any time. Do you understand what I mean?"

Yu Dongqing was silent.

He already understood what Luo Yun meant.

"I also told you that I once calculated a hexagram at Baiyun Temple, and it seems to be very accurate now." Luo Yun said again.

Yu Dongqing remembered that Luo Yun had indeed said that.

She once visited the Taoist temple in Baiyun Temple. The master said that there was a noble person around her. Although the dragon lurked in the abyss now, there would always be a flying dragon in the sky, red and purple, which could also bring her fame and wealth. He also said that the noble person was a tiger. The same thing happened with her.

At that time, Yu Dongqing just smiled and said nothing.

Now it seems, is that really happening?

"Maybe I will set up a studio one day, but I don't want to do it now." Yu Dongqing thought for a while and said.

"Okay, I'll wait for you. Holly, how are you going to spend the Spring Festival?"

"I took my daughter back to my hometown to visit her parents. I haven't been back for two years. What about you?"

The two changed the topic at the right time.

"I'm going to take a trip to Xiangjiang."

"You won't be alone again, will you?"

"Ha, no, this time I am with my husband."

While the two were chatting happily in the cafe, Tang Guang spent the whole morning restless.

When he learned that Yu Dongqing had resigned, he was shocked that the other party left without saying a word!

There is one more thing I want to ask him for, which is about his album.

After more than four months of intense recording, the album is basically ready and ready to be released during the Spring Festival. Although the company's internal evaluation found that the overall quality is quite good, Tang Guang is a little dissatisfied. The most important thing is the title song.

"The Final Countdown" originally written by Yu Dongqing is indeed good, but it is an English song. However, the audience of English songs is not as good as that of Chinese songs. Moreover, it has been half a year since the song was released, and its popularity has almost passed.

He desperately wanted to have a very popular Chinese song. At first, he had his eye on the song "Men Should Improve themselves". If the arrangement was slightly adapted, it would be a very hard-core rock song.

As a result, Yu Dongqing sang it for his third uncle, and the effect was unexpectedly good, and he was convinced.

Later, I always wanted to ask Yu Dongqing to write another song, but I always couldn't do it. Moreover, Yu Dongqing himself was a sluggish person and didn't stay in the company for much time. As a result, he made mistakes again and again, and unexpectedly the other party resigned. !

Why.

Tang Guang felt very distressed.

He couldn't tell others about this matter. After lunch, Tang Guang felt so depressed that he always wanted to find someone to talk to, so he took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.

He called Zhao Yawen.
