Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

The National Day has just passed, the autumn breeze is refreshing, and Mingliang has rushed back from Guizhou with her suitcase.

"Did the shooting go well?" Yu Dongqing hurriedly took the beautiful suitcase and asked with concern.

"Everything goes well. Husband, Kaili is a perfect place for filming this movie. It's full of fog and mountains and rivers, so it's perfect for shooting this dream-like movie. Husband, why did you end up in Kaili?"

Mei Liang finally asked.

because.

It turns out that the director of this movie in time and space is from Kaili.

But Yu Dongqing didn't say that, but said:

“Actually, such climate and environment are very common in Guizhou, and Kaili is just one of them.

Meili didn't think much, washed up, changed into a woolen coat and hurried out of the living room.

"Why are you going?" Yu Dongqing asked hurriedly.

"I want to see Lele and take him home."

"I'll go with you."

"No need." Meili replied, suddenly thinking of something, she turned to Yu Dongqing and said, "Honey, the movie is about to enter post-production, and you need to write songs quickly."

Oh, this.

"Roadside Picnic" has many popular songs from that time and space as interludes.

"Farewell", "World's No. 1", "New Mandarin Ducks and Butterfly Dreams", "Sad Pacific", "Little Jasmine", etc. are all songs that were familiar to audiences in the 1990s.

All to enhance the atmosphere of the movie.

But Yu Dongqing doesn’t plan to write them all. It’s not a good thing to use too many new songs in a movie. Let’s use old songs from this time and space.

Just write a promotional song yourself to promote the movie.

that is it.

Since his wife had arranged it, Yu Dongqing came to the piano room that he had not entered for a long time and sat beside the piano.

Which song is better?

By the way, a song from Mayday is very suitable.

"If We Never Met".

It is a song written and composed by Chen Xinhong and sung by Mayday. The song is also an episode of the original time and space TV series "Qingyun Zhi" and was an award-winning song at the 5th Yin Yue V Chart Annual Ceremony.

Yu Dongqing sang while playing:

if we never met

where will i be

If we had never met

This song does not exist

Live every second and die every second

I ask myself every second

Who has never searched and who has never doubted

Someone once said: "Sometimes the stranger you pass by is the person that some people can't chase after trying their best."

Isn't this the case for the three couples in "Roadside Picnic": the old doctor and her lover, Chen Sheng and his wife, and the adult Wei Wei and Yang Yang?

That night, Mingliang took her son Lele and her nanny home, and the originally deserted courtyard suddenly became lively.

Meimei drives to Qishue Creative Park every day for post-production of the film, which includes editing, recording and dubbing.

This film uses a dialect, but the professional actors hired by Meimei cannot speak Guizhou dialect, so they have to find dubbing actors later.

I drive out in the morning and usually don’t come back at noon, so I order takeout, but I have to come back in the evening for a family reunion.

Yu Dongqing rarely goes to Lao Ma's Noodle House.

Sometimes when I pass by at night, the noodle shop is still brightly lit, and the stall selling pancakes and fruits outside still exists, but it appears very late every time.

Yu Dongqing also bought it once and tasted it, and it tasted pretty good.

Time has quickly arrived in mid-November. The movie "Roadside Picnic", which took more than four months to produce, is completely completed. Below is the scheduled release time and the road show before release.

In fact, the filming and production of this film in the original time and space was shorter. It is said that the director only took three months.

Today, it was cold and windy outside. Yu Dongqing did not have a cat to drink tea in a warm home. Instead, she and Meimei braved the cold wind and went out to Qishushu Creative Park early in the morning.

The production of "Roadside Picnic" has been completed, and Yu Dongqing watched it as the first audience of the film.

In addition to Meili, there is also producer Lao Xu. They all know each other and there is no need to be polite.

After a few simple greetings, Meiliang opened the video, and the three of them watched quietly.

Compared with the "Roadside Picnic" filmed by Bi Gan in the original time and space, the picture is much more delicate. After all, Meili is a woman, and the lens processing has a unique female vision.

Yu Dongqing made a cup of hot tea and watched carefully.

The scenes from "Roadside Picnic" in front of me and the original movie in that time and space in my mind kept reappearing. Some of them overlapped, and some of them were far different.

But that's okay.

Different directors have their own unique interpretations of the same script.

In the film, there is a touch of sadness, full of warmth, realistic and calm shots, and a trickle of emotions slowly flowing into the heart.

The two movies have different approaches but similar effects.

In this sense, the film was very successful.

Of course there is also a very important set of shots.

The movie soon started playing. The protagonist Chen Sheng left home and was looking for Weiwei in Zhenyuan. He took a train to a place called Dangmai and got off the train again in a daze.

It turns out that the most exciting part of the time and space movie has arrived.

Yu Dongqing put down the teacup in his hand and stared at it carefully.

While watching the movie, Mingliang paid attention to Yu Dongqing's expression.

Looking at Yu Dongqing's slightly serious expression, she suddenly felt a little nervous.

Starting from the protagonist in Dangmai, there is a long shot, following several main characters appearing in the movie, the camera keeps shaking, as if it is a documentary.

It lasts for 35 minutes, accounting for almost one-third of the entire film!

This was her bold attempt and the place where she felt most proud.

Whether it's to show off your skills or for shooting needs.

She once had a fierce argument with her best friend Han Qingqing, the assistant director.

But in the end I still stuck to my opinion.

After finally waiting for the long shot to end, Meili couldn't help but asked timidly: "Husband, didn't the filming of this part go well?"

"Very good, very good." Yu Dongqing raised her thumbs.

For this long shot, Yu Dongqing felt that Meimei was a success.

In the original time and space, Bi Gan relied on this long shot to become a god.

In the original time and space movie, this long shot lasted 42 minutes, but here it is about 35 minutes.

In fact, such a comparison is meaningless. The quality of the filming does not depend on the length of time, but on how well it expresses the artistic conception of the film.

Yu Dongqing didn't have any objections, and she was completely relieved that Mingliang was completely satisfied. The next step is to discuss the release and road show.

As a producer, Lao Xu first expressed his opinions.

"This movie is definitely not suitable for release in the spring or New Year's Day. I mean it should be released in early December, and there will be time for road shows. Director Yu, what do you mean?"

Lao Xu looked at Yu Dongqing.

Yu Dongqing did not answer but asked Mingliang: "What do you mean?"

"My thoughts are similar to those of Lao Xu. This movie is definitely not going to make money. But there are still necessary road shows, so that my husband you won't lose less." Meilijiao said with a smile.

But Yu Dongqing shook his head and said:

"Don't worry, go to the Golden Horse Awards first."
