Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

"What's the use of just worrying?" Meiliang sat next to Yu Dongqing and whispered:

"If Tongtong falls in love early, even if you don't let Xia Yunxing come, what will you do if they date you secretly? Why not let the boy come over openly and find an opportunity to have a good chat with him and share your thoughts."

This is a way.

Yu Dongqing nodded, but what Mingmei said next made him dumbfounded: "Actually, I think Xia Yunxing is quite good, he treats Tongtong well, he is a top student, he is handsome, and his family conditions are not bad, so it is okay for them to talk in the future. "

"Isn't that too small?"

"You don't understand that there aren't many quality boys these days, so you need to catch them early."

Seeing Yu Dongqing looking at him blankly, Meiliang quickly explained: "I'm not encouraging them to talk now. Well, don't they want to watch a movie? Let's go together then!"

this is OK.

Yu Dongqing nodded. He also wanted to see how the movie "New Era Killer" went.

This year's New Year's Eve, the Mingjia courtyard seems very lively.

The son-in-law, daughter and two grandchildren came over early to clean the house and put up couplets on the windows, and there was laughter and joy in the courtyard.

What surprised the old couple even more was that there was an additional male classmate of their granddaughter!

Meili told her parents about this matter as soon as she came over. Unexpectedly, her parents were very reasonable.

It’s really pitiful for a child to spend the New Year alone.

Just come.

Xia Yunxing followed the address mentioned by Yu Tongtong and came directly to Yanzi Hutong in Houhai. Of course, he didn't come empty-handed, carrying large and small packages of gifts.

The boy is tall, handsome, and has a sweet mouth. He makes his grandparents very happy with his every mouthful.

The second elder heard that his granddaughter said that he was a top student, and that Tsinghua University and Peking University were no problem at all, and he was even more happy.

This is what students who want to date should be like this.

Don't associate with scumbags!

During the New Year's Eve dinner, Liu Huiyan asked: "Classmate Xiaoxia, which university are you going to attend after graduating from high school?"

Xia Yunxing did not answer directly, but glanced at Yu Tongtong sitting next to him.

"My dad wanted me to go to Peking University, but I want to study abroad." Xia Yunxing answered honestly.

"It doesn't matter if you go abroad. If you are good at mathematics, you can go to Massachusetts in the United States or Cambridge in the United Kingdom. Their mathematics majors are among the best in the world." Yu Dongqing interjected with a smile.

"Uncle, I want to go to the University of Pennsylvania."

University of Pennsylvania?

Pennsylvania is also an Ivy League university in the United States, but its mathematics major is not as good as that of Massachusetts!

Yu Dongqing suddenly thought of something and looked at his daughter again.

Yu Tongtong, however, concentrated on chewing a braised pig's trotter, as if what they were talking about had nothing to do with her.

After eating, Xia Yunxing helped clear away the dishes, but Yu Tongtong sat on the sofa and played with her mobile phone. Yu Dongqing sighed inwardly.

My daughter is used to it.

After watching the Spring Festival Gala in the evening, Yu Dongqing's family of four drove back to their small courtyard. This time there was one more Xia Yunxing.

Mingliang had already prepared new quilts and bedding in the guest room. After the children had gone to bed, in the dead of night, Yu Dongqing was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

"What's wrong, husband?" Meimei turned around and asked in a daze.

"Did you know that Xia Yunxing said today why he didn't want to go to MIT but insisted on going to the University of Pennsylvania?" Yu Dongqing asked.

"Why?"

"Because the University of Pennsylvania is in Philadelphia! The Curtis Institute of Music that Tongtong wants to attend is also in Philadelphia!"

ah?

Meili suddenly understood and said with a smile.

"It seems that Xia Yunxing really likes our Tongtong."

"You're still laughing!" Yu Dongqing glared at her.

"I know, husband, you are worried that Tongtong is still young and you are afraid that she will suffer. I will find a time to have a good talk with Tongtong."

"Yes, let's talk about it, let's talk tomorrow!"

On New Year's Day, the family of six, including Meimei's parents, was not like now that there is one more person, and they went out to play happily.

This time we traveled a little further. We drove two cars to go to the Great Wall Temple Fair in Gubei Water Town, Miyun, and spent most of the day there. We enjoyed foreign movies, Beijing-style snacks, acrobatic performances, dragon and lion dances, and didn’t return to Yan until the second half of the day. Beijing.

Naturally, dinner will be arranged at my father-in-law’s house.

After dinner, Yu Dongqing chatted with his father-in-law and mother-in-law, accompanied by Xia Yunxing. Meili took the opportunity to drag Yu Tongtong to her original boudoir and muttered for a while before coming out.

When they got home in the evening, they each took a shower and went to bed. Yu Dongqing quickly asked her daughter about the heart-to-heart talk.

“彤彤说了，她觉得夏云星是不错，但并没和他早恋，如果他敢有什么非分想法，她就揍他！”

Ah?

Silly girl.

If we really fight, can you beat others?

"Husband, actually, don't worry too much." Meili comforted.

"Um?"

"I can also see that Xia Yunxing likes our Tongtong very much, but does it say in the book that if a man loves a woman very much, he will not let her get hurt in the slightest."

But that’s what the book says

"Okay. Husband, go to bed early. I have already bought the tickets. Let's go see a movie tomorrow night." After finishing speaking, Meili leaned closer to Yu Dongqing to make herself more comfortable, and soon fell asleep.

Yu Dongqing shook his head.

Do you think too much about yourself?

In fact, every father will think so, right?

The next day, Yu Dongqing and the others did not go to the home of his father-in-law and mother-in-law. Instead, the five of them spent the day shopping and watched a movie together in the evening, including Lele.

According to Mingliang's wishes, Lele was temporarily placed at his grandmother's house when he was young, and would be picked up after watching the movie, but Lele yelled that he had to go with his sister.

well.

This little guy, just because his sister complained a few days ago, his sister didn't give him a good look, but he still ran behind him.

There were many people in the cinema, almost full. Yu Dongqing found his seat and looked carefully.

The plot is a bit like the original "Terminator" in that time and space, and Li Yunjie actually played a big villain in the film.

But there are a lot of scenes, and it's quite lively from beginning to end.

Overall, a typical Hollywood-style blockbuster.

The scenes, storyline, and even the special effects can only be said to be average.

After the movie was screened, several people left the theater. On the way home, Yu Dongqing asked his daughter: "Tongtong, what do you think of this movie?"

"It's very interesting, but how can Li Yunjie play the villain? It would be great if he was the protagonist!"

The idol in his mind turned out to be a bad guy. Although he was very skilled in martial arts, he was still beaten to death in the end. Yu Tongtong was a little worried about this.

Xia Yunxing, who was next to him, comforted: "Li Yunjie became the second male lead in his second film in Hollywood, which is already very good. No Asian actor has ever played the leading role in a Hollywood movie. Maybe he will be the first male lead in his next film." Number."

Yu Tongtong felt better after hearing this.

Yu Dongqing glanced at Xia Yunxing in the rearview mirror and asked with a smile: "Xiao Xia, what do you think of the photo?"

Xia Yunxing thought for a moment before replying: "The filming was quite lively, but it was all routine. It's like this after watching too many Hollywood movies, but the special effects are still pretty good."

yes

From Yu Dongqing's professional perspective, the only thing this film can offer is special effects.

Sure enough, the movie's rating on Douban is not high, with a barely passing score of 6.0, and it continues to decline.

But this does not hinder its box office. In just three days, the box office exceeded 1 billion. Although it is not as good as last year's "Silver Star Empire 5", it can still leave the second domestic blockbuster far behind.
