Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

While Yu Dongqing and Zheng Xiang's agent were in Li Wan's office, another person was nervously paying attention to the situation inside.

Feng Jingyu was restless in the rental house here.

This science fiction film starring Yu Dongqing was recommended, and Feng Jingyu felt like a pie suddenly fell from the sky.

After graduating from Yandian six years ago, he has been playing some unknown small roles, but he is not discouraged. Even though they are small roles, he still works hard to play well.

He knows that for people like him who have no foundation in the entertainment industry, hard work may not necessarily pay off.

But if you don’t work hard, there will definitely be no reward.

Fortunately, God favored him and finally got a chance, so he cherished it.

He reads the script carefully every day in his rented apartment and ponders the lines, hoping to do his best to perform well.

Unexpectedly, when filming was about to start, someone would bring money into the set to snatch the male lead role that he played.

People like him generally don't have access to this kind of information, but a good friend of his in Li Wan's company heard the news by chance and immediately called him to tell him.

Feng Jingyu was shocked and angry after hearing this.

But what can be done?

How could I compete with Zheng Xiang?

He is one of the top people in the country, and it is very common for him to bring money into the film crew.

"Is there any news?" Feng Jingyu couldn't help but pick up his cell phone and call his friend.

"We're still talking. Don't worry. I'll tell you as soon as I have news."

"Do you think Director Yu will agree?" Feng Jingyu asked again.

"How many times have I asked this question? How should I answer?!" the other party replied angrily.

"The crew did not raise enough funds, so Zheng Xiang is very popular, and he invested 100 million. It is difficult for ordinary people to refuse."

Yeah, it's hard to say no.

Moreover, this is not a literary film, but a commercial blockbuster. What the audience sees is the special effects and plot. As long as the actors' acting skills are not too bad, the audience will accept it.

What's more, Zheng Xiang has 300 million fans?

Feng Jingyu felt that he had no hope, and he sighed softly.

His friend heard him sigh and comforted him on the phone.

"Don't be discouraged. I think there is still hope. It is difficult for ordinary people to refuse, but Director Yu is not an ordinary person."

"I know." Feng Jingyu smiled bitterly and turned off the phone.

Friends are comforting him.

In the entertainment industry, no one can beat capital.

Feng Jingyu sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the script put aside. He really wanted to tear it into pieces.

But for a long time.

He still took the script and read it carefully.

After a while, the cell phone rang suddenly. It was a call from a friend. He grabbed it and said, "How is the situation? Have they concluded the negotiation?"

"Hey, I said before, Director Yu is not an ordinary person, he refused outright!"

real? !

Feng Jingyu was so happy.

Yu Dongqing really refused outright.

Investment is okay, the lead role has been decided, I won’t change it, even if it’s 0 remuneration.

In the end, both parties broke up unhappy.

After Zheng Xiang's agent left, Li Wan smiled bitterly.

"Holly, it's easy for you to refuse, but I have to go around begging grandpa and grandma to get investment."

"Thank you for your hard work." Yu Dongqing chuckled and pondered for a moment: "I will spend another 20 million, all of which are my personal funds. There is really no leftover food."

"Well, I'll bite the bullet and invest 5 million personally, and the company will squeeze out another 10 million!"

Yu Dongqing's personal assets include not only letting his father-in-law collect calligraphy and paintings, but also buying five more houses in Yanjing, including villas and high-end suites. To be honest, he doesn't know how to invest in anything else, so it is safe to buy a house.

"Okay, I'll ask some of my buddies and friends to see if they are willing to invest more." Yu Dongqing said.

Yu Dongqing returned home, and Mingliang hadn't come back yet. She was watching her son digging sand with a small shovel in the yard, while he drank tea leisurely. Not long after, he heard the sound of cars outside the yard, and Mingliang walked in in a hurry.

"Husband, I have already signed up for Lele. There are so many people." Meiliang said.

Lele is three years old this year and is going to kindergarten. According to Yu Dongqing, she is attending a public kindergarten near Nanluogu Lane. It is close to home and is very convenient for pick-up and drop-off.

But Mingmei disagreed.

How can we let our children lose at the starting line?

Give your children the best education from an early age!

So I enrolled in Eton Bilingual Kindergarten, a famous aristocratic kindergarten in Yanjing, with a tuition fee of 150,000 a year.

Money comes second, and the key is that it’s a bit far.

Ming Ming's solution to this problem is to hire a nanny from a housekeeping company who will only be responsible for picking up and dropping off the children in the morning and evening every day!

Yu Dongqing just let her go.

"How's it going? Didn't you reach an agreement with Zheng Xiang's agent?" Meimei went back to the room to change clothes and asked with concern.

Yu Dongqing nodded and briefly explained what happened: "I am going to personally invest another 20 million."

Mingliang also knew that this was the limit of what her family could afford. There were not many people in her family, but her monthly expenses were high, and she had to have money for emergencies.

"How about I go home and borrow some from my parents?" Meiliang thought of a way.

Yu Dongqing shook his head.

"Taking 1.8 million from your parents won't solve any problem. It's okay. Let's take pictures first and look for them later."

Having said this, Yu Dongqing glanced at his wife, "Meili, let me discuss something with you. You can shoot the literary and dramatic parts of this movie. I will be mainly responsible for the special effects."

"I, but..."

Meili hesitated.

In fact, she really wanted to take the photo.

Since she had to take a break due to pregnancy before the filming of "Chinese Youth" was completed four years ago, she has not filmed again.

Although she played Murong Yan in Yu Dongqing's "Ashes of Time" midway through, speaking from the bottom of her heart, she still wanted to be a director.

"Meiliang, I know you are reluctant to let go of Lele, but now that Lele is three years old and going to kindergarten, you should have your own life and can't hang around him all the time." Yu Dongqing said gently.

Meili was very touched after hearing this. My husband is the one who understands and cares about me best!

Suddenly, she thought of something and looked at Yu Dongqing: "Husband, are you asking me to make the second part of "The Wandering Earth"?! You once said that you wanted to make "The Wandering Earth" like "The Silver Star Empire" A series!”

Oops

As the saying goes, one pregnancy lasts three years. It seems that the three years have passed?

Yu Dongqing really has such a plan.

But filming science fiction movies is very tiring. I am no longer young and just want to live leisurely.

It was good to let Meimei take the photo, and I felt relieved. I didn’t expect the other party to see what I was trying to do!

He had no choice but to fight haha.

"No, the first part hasn't started filming yet. Do you still want the second part? It's early!"

"I can help you shoot the literary and dramatic parts of this movie, but after this movie is finished, I have to shoot what I like!" Meiliang said.

All right

Yu Dongqing agreed.

"The Wandering Earth" started filming on time on September 15th. This time, Yu Dongqing chose the science fiction film and television industry base in Pudong New Area instead of Qingdao in the original time and space.

The special effects companies are all in Shanghai, so communication between the two parties is easy, and the conditions in Shanghai are also quite good.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the crew of "The Wandering Earth" held a simple but grand opening ceremony at the film and television base.

In addition to the crew, a large number of reporters came to report. This was specially invited by Li Wanchang's external relations team in order to better promote the film.

Of course Yu Dongqing has no objection.

After the simple but grand opening ceremony, the filming officially entered the stage.

According to the previous discussion, Meili was responsible for filming the literary and dramatic parts, while Yu Dongqing focused on the scenes with special effects. Today we will shoot the scene where Liu Qi and Han Duoduo sneak out of the dungeon.

Yu Dongqing was just about to enter the studio, but was stopped by Li Wan.

"Holly, a reporter wants to interview you. She is doing a series of reports."

Thank you for flying in the sky, I am too embarrassed to vote for you as a monthly vote
