Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

"Director Yu, if you really want to go to Iceland for filming, I'm willing to go." Du Xuefeng suddenly smiled and said, "Anyway, I'm single now. It doesn't matter if I live through the New Year or not."

"Hey, Director Du, I haven't decided to go yet." Chang Yan was so anxious.

I wonder how much it will cost for this trip to Iceland?

"Okay, since Xuefeng is willing to go, let's go hard. Lao Li, let the outreach team help with the visa procedures and other procedures." Yu Dongqing said to Li Wan.

Li Wan nodded helplessly.

Yu Dongqing is really not stingy about spending money on filming.

Not only Shanghai, but also Qingdao and Jining. Almost all over Shandong.

As for the funding, he didn't seem to think much about it.

Now that the producer and chief director have decided, no one else has anything to say and they all prepare separately.

Yu Dongqing took another hot bath, and then the couple went to bed.

"Husband, do you want to go to Iceland for filming?" Meiliang suddenly asked.

Ah?

Sure enough, I know more and more what my husband is thinking.

If Du Xuefeng hadn't taken the initiative to shoot in Iceland, he would have really wanted to take a shooting team out for a walk.

Human

It is a good choice to travel around and see things in your lifetime.

Of course, Yu Dongqing couldn't say that in front of his wife, he said with a smile.

"I didn't say I wanted to go. Chinese New Year is coming soon. It's important to go back and visit my two children and parents."

Meili snorted and said nothing more.

On January 18, the crew announced that they were disbanding on the spot after filming was completed, and Yu Dongqing was preparing to return to Yanjing.

Of course, for a science fiction movie, completing the filming is only a small part of the entire production process, and there is still a lot of work to be done later.

To this end, he found Wei Wenming and several of his colleagues alone.

"I've worked hard on you during this period. Go home and celebrate the New Year well. Let's start work again after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month." Yu Dongqing said.

"Hey Uncle Yu, making a movie with you is much harder than working in Hollywood. No wonder people say everything in China is boring." Shangguan Feifei sighed and said.

"I want to go back to the United States to spend the New Year with my parents, and then give myself a long vacation!"

"Feifei, thank you for your hard work." Yu Dongqing smiled.

Although Shangguan Feifei seems to be complaining a lot now, she actually works very hard when working, especially as a special effects director. She often spends the middle of the night watching the results of the day on her computer after filming.

"I want to go back to Changchun in the northeast to visit my parents." Wei Wenming said with a smile; "But I will come to work after the seventh day of the Lunar New Year."

"What about you, Yang Liang?" Wei Wenming turned to ask the somewhat taciturn Yang Liang.

"I will stay in the company and not go back."

ah? !

"It'll be fine if I go back. Besides, the company has a lot of work." Yang Liang said, "You guys chat, let's get busy first."

After speaking, Yang Liang turned and left.

What a workaholic.

Yu Dongqing couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

On January 19, Yu Dongqing and his wife took the high-speed train back to Yanjing.

"I'm finally back." Yu Dongqing carried her suitcase into her small courtyard and couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the familiar scenery.

But it was empty inside.

The little nanny Xia Xia went back to her hometown yesterday to celebrate the New Year. Tongtong and Lele are also on winter vacation and are now at her grandmother's house, including the puppy Doumiao and the fat cat Doubao.

The two put their suitcases in the bedroom. Meili didn't have time to pack them away and said to Yu Dongqing: "Husband, I want to go to my mother's place to see Lele."

"Why are you so anxious? Isn't Lele fine at your mother's place? Let's go over there in the evening." Yu Dongqing advised. "

"No, I can't wait for a moment." Meili changed into a woolen coat and put on a scarf: "I will pick up the child and come back in the evening, you can take care of dinner by yourself."

After saying that, he hurried out of the living room, and soon he heard the sound of a car starting outside the yard.

Yu Dongqing was too lazy to pack her luggage. The room was well heated. Yu Dongqing boiled water first, then made herself a pot of Longjing tea, and sat in the tea room to drink it comfortably.

The winter in Yanjing is better.

Although it is cold, it is dry and cold, and the room is as warm as spring. It is not like the cold and damp weather in Shanghai. The wind blows and it becomes bone-chilling.

While I was drinking slowly, my cell phone rang. When I saw it was Zhang Yang, I answered it.

"Have you returned to Yanjing?"

"Yeah. It's finally finished. Why, you didn't go back to your hometown?"

"I'm in Harbin now and I'm bored."

"Is Auntie okay?" Yu Dongqing asked with concern.

"Not bad. Anyway, she is very happy when I come back. She prepares delicious food for me every day. This weight loss is in vain." Zhang Yang said with a smile.

Zhang Yang has been returning to his hometown of Harbin every Spring Festival in the past few years to visit his mother.

The daughter-in-law and son thought it was too far and the Northeast was too cold and they didn't want to follow them back, so Zhang Yang went back alone.

In his words, when he was young, he worked hard outside, and only when he got older did he understand the hard work and difficulty of his parents.

Go back to accompany me and show your filial piety.

The two chatted for a while before hanging up the phone.

Among the four buddies, except for Liu Yimin, who is a native of Yanjing, the other three are not from Yanjing. Du Hui and his wife leave Yanjing every Chinese New Year, either going back to his home in Hunan or to his wife's home in Zhejiang Province.

I used to go back to my hometown every New Year to spend New Year's Eve with my parents. Since I got married to Meimei, I have to go back every other year. After all, I still have my father-in-law and mother-in-law, and they are getting older. Especially when the family reunites during the New Year, I want my children more. Celebrate the New Year with me.

This year I have to stay in Yanjing, so I have to wait until the seventh day of the lunar month to go back for a visit, and I have to rush to Shanghai on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

In the afternoon, his wife didn't go home, and he was too lazy to cook alone, so Yu Dongqing went out to eat noodles at a noodle shop at the entrance of the alley.

Although the noodle shop is small, it sells noodles, wontons, noodles, etc., which taste pretty good, especially the Yanjing miscellaneous sauce noodles, which are very authentic.

Yu Dongqing used to like eating fried noodles and biangbiang noodles from Qin Province. Now that she has stayed in Yanjing for a long time, she also likes fried noodles.

There was a cold wind blowing outside today, and there were not many people in the noodle shop. As soon as Yu Dongqing walked in, the fat boss greeted him with a smile: "Master Yu, long time no see. Are you filming?"

The fat boss, whose surname is Ma, is in his fifties. He is cheerful all day long. Many of the people who eat noodles here are people from the alley area, and many of them are regular customers.

Boss Ma doesn't care what you do, whether you are a retired uncle, a certain director, or a company boss. Like many old Yanjing people, you will always call him master.

For example, he also knew that Yu Dongqing was an artist and a famous director, but he still affectionately called him "Master."

Yu Dongqing smiled and replied: "Yes, I just came back. Don't you want your mixed noodles?"

Boss Ma's face suddenly became as happy as a flower.

"You're right. Although these miscellaneous sauce noodles are inconspicuous, we from Yanjing will feel panicked if we don't eat them for a day. Or is it still the third chapter?"

"Yes, the third chapter."

"Okay, just wait a moment."

The so-called Lao San Pian is just a bowl of noodles with mixed sauce, a small plate of pickles and a few cloves of garlic. It tastes very fragrant.

Soon, the boss personally served a bowl of steaming fried noodles, and Yu Dongqing ate it with veggies and garlic.

Boss Ma seemed a little bored, so he sat on the edge and chatted with Yu Dongqing.

"Master Yu, you are a movie maker. Tell me, I just can't figure out why this foreign movie is so attractive?"

"What's wrong? Boss Ma?" Yu Dongqing raised his head and looked at him.
