Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

In the past two years, Yu Dongqing has really not filmed any movies or TV dramas.

I just helped my daughter-in-law Meimei write another very heartwarming movie "The Story of Dou Miao, a Loyal Dog."

This script is naturally a drama family film directed by Lese Hallström from the original time and space. The film tells the story of a university professor who encounters a poor little Akita dog at a station in a small town, and decides to adopt it and name it "Eight". "Gong" legendary story.

But here, Yu Dongqing changed the dog's name to Doumiao because his dog Doumiao died of illness.

Meili was very sad and said that this dog was brought with her when she got married and had become part of her family.

For this reason, Yu Dongqing wrote this script. In order to commemorate this former family member, of course the plot was appropriately localized.

The response was very good.

With an investment of less than 5 million, the domestic box office exceeded 100 million, and it also went overseas and was distributed in many countries.

Won the Best Director at the Yanjing College Student Film Festival, Meiliang has also become the favorite director of contemporary college students.

I wrote a movie for Wang Dongsheng, "Old Friend in Mountains and Rivers", which tells the story of three generations of Fenyang girl Shen Tao's family's emotions and changing times from 1999 to 2025. The heroine is still played by Wang Dongsheng's daughter-in-law.

The domestic box office was not very good, and it was barely able to break even, but the overseas box office performance was very good, with the copyright alone sold for 10 million US dollars.

Of course, the box office performance is far inferior to the previous film "I'm Not the God of Medicine", but it has won more awards. Cannes Film Festival Best Actress Award

Golden Horse Award for Best Feature Film

Best Director Award at Yanjing University Student Film Festival

The two of them have shone brightly in the domestic film industry, and they are both inseparable from one man - Yu Dongqing.

Now Yu Dongqing lives a reclusive life.

Exercise, drink tea, fish, and go to Hangzhou for a short stay in the spring.

Now that his son is in elementary school, Yu Dongqing is just like when his daughter first entered elementary school, picking him up and dropping him off every day, rain or shine.

However, he did not pick up his son today because he still had something to do.

My old friend Zhang Yang’s son got married.

Zhang Yang almost burst into tears when he mentioned this matter.

This boy finally thought of getting married, and our old Zhang family will continue to have children.

Zhang Yang's son Zhang Haowei, who is 32 this year, found a 25-year-old girl with ordinary looks and an ordinary family background.

But Zhang Yang doesn't care about this, as long as his son likes it and the two of them love each other.

Today is the wedding day of my old friend's son, so naturally these old buddies are going to help.

In fact, there was no need for help at all. Zhang Haowei had a lot of friends and colleagues, so he found a very famous wedding company in Yanjing to provide one-stop service.

There are only two words for Zhang Yang: pay.

Seeing a group of young men and women busy in the new house, with his son in high spirits, Zhang Yang, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly felt a little sad for no reason.

When my son gets married, I will grow old.

The always attentive Liu Yimin noticed his old friend's displeasure and greeted him:

"Let's go, Zhang Yang, there are young people busy here, let's go for a walk."

Zhang Yang nodded, stood up and walked out the door, followed by his three friends.

My son's new house is located in the Xincheng International high-end community within the Third Ring Road. Just outside the community is Chaowai Street.

The four of them stood on the side of the street, looking at the busy traffic on the street. They didn't know where to go.

"I remember there is a pretty good tea house nearby. Let's go have tea?" Du Hui suggested.

So the four of them followed Du Hui and walked forward along the street.

They went to a teahouse called Zenxi, located on the first floor of Building 1, Yijingyuan, Chaowai Market Street. They sat in a private room by the window and each of the four ordered tea.

Yu Dongqing is of course Longjing, Du Hui drinks his Pu'er, Liu Yimin and Zhang Yang are not picky and drink Biluochun.

The four of them were drinking tea and looking at the spring outside the window, suddenly speechless.

"Old" Zhang Yang suddenly said quietly.

"I'm talking about Zhang Yang, you have always been disobedient to your elders. You live like a young man all day long." Liu Yimin joked.

Zhang Yang shook his head and suddenly looked at Du Hui sitting opposite: "Du Hui, your son also got married last year?"

"Yes, you also know that my ex-wife has always been worried about me, so "Xiaojun (Du Hui's son)" didn't tell me when she got married. It was Xiaojun who called me later, and I rushed over. .”

Du Hui had a smile on his face, but there was an indescribable bitterness.

"Hey, she did something wrong! After all, he is also your son. She is also an alumnus of us, so she didn't invite us."

Zhang Yang replied.

"Don't talk about her anymore."

"It doesn't matter. When your daughter gets married, she can live a good life like Zhang Yang!" Liu Yimin comforted her.

"Qianxi (Du Hui's daughter) is just in college, it's early." Du Hui said with a smile.

Du Hui's daughter has perfectly inherited the excellent genes of her parents. Last year, she was admitted to the School of Economics and Management of Tsinghua University and became the best-student among the four of them.

After listening to Du Hui's words, Liu Yimin said: "Girls, hurry up, look at my Xiaoqi, isn't she planning to get married soon?"

Liu Yimin's daughter Liu Zhiqi, after singing for several years, listened to her father's advice and left the singing world to help her father run a tavern.

But the girl was motivated and bought a new shop in Houhai from a friend. Both taverns were renovated according to her wishes.

It turns out that some of the nostalgic decorations have disappeared, making it look more modern and avant-garde, and business is very good.

Last year, I fell in love with the son of one of Liu Yimin's friends. He was also a native of Yanjing and had opened his own advertising company, so he was a good match.

For this reason, Liu Yimin often laughs at himself until he reaches retirement age.

"Hey, Dongqing, your Tongtong has finally decided not to come back?" Zhang Yang suddenly looked at Yu Dongqing, who was also silent.

"I'm not coming back because of that brat!" Yu Dongqing smiled bitterly.

Yu Tongtong graduated from the Curtis Institute of Music last year and hurried back to China according to Yu Dongqing's wishes, but the girl was unwilling and applied to join the Boston Symphony Orchestra to become a piano player.

Because after Xia Yunxing successfully graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, he went to MIT to study for a master's degree, and immediately graduated and was admitted to the Ph.D.

Yu Tongtong followed her to Boston as soon as she graduated.

"Holly, the Boston Symphony Orchestra is one of the five major symphony orchestras in the United States. It would be good for Tongtong to join." Du Hui comforted:

"I also know Xia Yunxing's father, Xia Chunqiu, and he is a good man. After his son graduates with his Ph.D., he will be asked to return to China, and Tongtong will naturally follow him."

Yu Dongqing nodded and could only do this.

This girl... Hey, she was so arrogant when she was a child, chasing and beating up that brat, why do you listen to others so much now?

Sure enough, my daughter is facing outward.

"Holly, you are the youngest among us, right? You are over 50, right?" Zhang Yang said without thinking.

"Look at your memory. Didn't you celebrate my 50th birthday last year?" Yu Dongqing said with a smile.

"It's so old. I remember, this year is the 30th anniversary of the establishment of our Qingmanglu Band, right?" Zhang Yang said.

Oh. It seems so.

Yu Dongqing almost forgot about it.

"Don't we want to commemorate the memory? In another ten years, maybe we won't be able to play or sing anymore."

"What do you mean?" Yu Dongqing asked.

"Let's go for a walk and sing while walking." (End of Chapter)
