Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 353 Chapter 351 "Leave Me"

Yu Dongqing heard that her charming father, Ming Hanwen, was also a young man who loved literature and art when he was young. When he jumped into the queue in the Northwest, he was the captain of the literature and art propaganda team. The repertory troupe has a certain performance foundation.

just
"Mingmei, can your father agree?" Yu Dongqing was very skeptical.

"I'll go ask."

After talking about the matter, the two went home separately, Yu Dongqing went back to write the script, Mingmei originally wanted to send Yu Dongqing back but he declined.

The distance is not far, and it is convenient to take the subway.

"Brother-in-law, just wait for my good news!" Ming Mei rushed into the car excitedly.

Besides, when Mei Mei returned to Yanzi Hutong in Houhai, she opened the door of the small courtyard and saw her parents sitting in the small courtyard basking in the sun.

The weather is fine today, and the couple stayed at home basking in the sun without going anywhere.

Seeing Mingmei come in, Liu Huiyan complained immediately: "I was crazy all day, I really don't look like a girl. Where did you go today? Have you eaten yet?"

"Eat, Mom. I'm doing business today, and I'm going to co-produce a micro movie with my brother-in-law!"

When she heard that her daughter was going to make a movie, Liu Huiyan didn't say anything, but why did she want to make a movie with Yu Dongqing?

Hey, the youngest daughter and her eldest son-in-law got mixed up again.

But it's really hard to say anything about work.

But what Mingmei said later surprised Liu Huiyan again: "Dad, I need your help to play the role of brother-in-law's father in the play!"

"what?"

Ming Hanwen was wearing presbyopic glasses and was reading the latest issue of a photography magazine. He usually does not participate in the conversation between mother and daughter, but suddenly he heard that his daughter wanted to act in a movie by himself, so he immediately put down the magazine and looked at her daughter.

Mingmei smiled and sat beside her father, and told the whole thing.

"Dad, I think you are quite suitable for this role!"

"Bullshit!"

Ming Hanwen didn't open his mouth, but Liu Huiyan denied it: "How old is your dad? Are you still playing around with a group of young people? Making movies is very hard. Your dad has coronary heart disease. If something happens to him what to do?!"

After hearing what his wife said, Ming Hanwen was a little dissatisfied.

Is my body so bad? !
Didn't you go to Yanqing's Wild Duck Lake to shoot birds with a group of old buddies the day before yesterday?I ran all day and nothing happened!

But he didn't need to say it, knowing that his daughter would refute.

Sure enough, Mingmei said to her mother: "Mom, my father's health is not so bad, right? Besides, with us, my father looks younger. Isn't it? Dad?"

As Mingmei said, she hugged her father's neck affectionately, and Ming Hanwen felt very comfortable.

It's still a baby girl who can talk, and we are not too old.

"Meimei, isn't your vacation coming to an end and returning to England soon? Why are you still messing around with your brother-in-law!" Liu Huiyan asked another question.

"It's because I'm going back to London soon, so I rushed to shoot the film." Mingmei stared at her mother with wide eyes: "This is also one of our homework!"

"What homework? Why didn't I hear you say it? You have to wait until the end of the holiday to do it? Why are you like Tongtong?!"

Liu Huiyan muttered, but her tone seemed much more relaxed.

In any case, the daughter's school lessons cannot be delayed.

In fact, Mingmei really didn't lie to her mother.

According to the regulations of the University of London, during the course period of more than two years for the director major, each student needs to participate in the production of six compulsory film works, five selected practice projects, and complete a graduation work, all of which are based on the industry level. standard.

Among them, the school will require students to create at least two works as directors.

Mingmei feels that if this film is well shot, it can be regarded as a work that she participated in the creation of.

Seeing her mother being dealt with, Mingmei is pestering her father again.

It's much easier to deal with Dad. First, I gave Dad a ecstasy soup. I heard that you also filmed when you were young. Now I want to see your demeanor.

Then he said that this film is very important, it is related to whether my daughter can graduate smoothly, etc., look at my brother-in-law and his friends to help me, dad, how can you not help me? !
"All right." Ming Hanwen had no choice but to agree.

He really can't do anything with his precious daughter.

"Okay then, Meimei, you ask Dongqing to send the script, I have to study it carefully!"

Ming Hanwen said.

Since you want to act, you have to be serious.

"Okay! I'll call my brother-in-law right away!" Mingmei took out her phone happily.

"Is it done so soon?"

When Yu Dongqing received a call from Mingmei, she remembered that her father-in-law, who was usually unsmiling, agreed so readily to this seemingly absurd decision.

Can't help shaking his head.

My old father-in-law is really obedient to her precious daughter.

"Brother-in-law, hurry up and write the script." Mingmei urged on the phone.

"Don't worry, it will be soon."

The 5-minute microfilm script is not too complicated, and Yu Dongqing quickly finished it, but considering that none of the actors, including Ming Hanwen, are professional actors, they wrote it in more detail.

After dinner in the evening, Yu Dongqing distributed the script among the four people, and gave Mingmei and Lao Zhangren each a copy.

Ming Hanwen sat in the teacher's chair in the study, wearing reading glasses to read the script in his hand.

As he was getting older, his eyes were not very good, so I asked Mingmei to type it out for him to see.

"It really is a good script."

Ming Hanwen couldn't help sighing after seeing it.

At the end of the script, there are double contradictions: one is to return to the real world, and the hero will continue to endure the pain of losing his wife.

The second is to stay in the photo, and the father has to bear the double pain of losing his son and daughter-in-law.

Ming Hanwen suddenly thought of Yu Dongqing.

Did he have an allusion to writing such a script?

Luo Yun?

Or her eldest daughter, Ruirui.

Thinking of his eldest daughter dying of illness at a young age, Ming Hanwen felt a little uncomfortable.

Forget it, I don't want to.

It's just a creative script, don't connect too much with reality.

If you are too attached to life, you will live very unhappy.

He also had to admire that his son-in-law was really talented.

Unfortunately, he will not be his son-in-law in the end.

Think about it a little sorry.

How nice to be my son-in-law all the time.

Very proud to say it.

Ming Hanwen suddenly felt that he was a little too cranky today.

He settled down and read the script seriously.

The first meeting of the crew of the microfilm "Leave Me" was held at Ming Hanwen's home.

The actors and crew members are Yu Dongqing and his three buddies, Ming Hanwen's father and daughter, and Liu Qingqing.

Everyone sat in the small courtyard of Yanzi Hutong, drinking tea and discussing the plot.

The exterior scenes took place in Yuyuantan Cherry Blossom Forest, Liu Yimin's tavern and Ming Hanwen's courtyard.

Ming Hanwen also contributed his precious Canon SLR, which is the same model as Yu Dongqing's, so that the two cameras can shoot at different angles at the same time, and the picture quality is also consistent.

Shooting started the next day.
