Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 396 Write and direct yourself

"How do you know this?" Yu Dongqing was surprised.

"Didn't I film a movie with Director Lu? We can be regarded as friends. We had dinner together some time ago. Director Lu said so. Originally, Director Lu recommended you to make a martial arts film for Jin Yunfeng called "Yi Tian Tu Long", but after you refused, Jin Yunfeng went to find him again. Director Lu, he had no choice but to take it over again."

Yu Dongqing nodded and explained the reason.

"There is such a thing. To be honest, I don't like the script."

"Actually, making martial arts films is very interesting." Zhang Yangmao said, "Why don't you just write a script and shoot it yourself! I'll just play a role, and let me also enjoy martial arts addiction."

"Isn't Director Lu preparing for the filming of "Eternal Heaven and Slaying the Dragon"? You should look for him." Yu Dongqing also took a sip of beer and said leisurely.

"I looked for it, but Director Lu said that there is no suitable role, so he can't let me act in another group role?" Zhang Yang was a little frustrated: "It's mainly because of my body. I don't seem to be good at martial arts."

Seeing Zhang Yang's big belly, several people couldn't help laughing.

"So, Dongqing, you must make a martial arts film, and you must arrange a suitable role for me!" Zhang Yang said.

"Making a martial arts film is not as easy as filming "The Tuner". At least you need to find actors who know martial arts? There are many special effects and the investment is also large."

Before Yu Dongqing finished speaking, she was stopped by Zhang Yang: "I invest! At least 500 million!"

"I invest too!"

"I vote too!"

Liu Yimin and Zhang Yang also opened their mouths, and now Yu Dongqing was stunned.

"Zhang Yang was just joking, you guys join in the fun?"

"I'm not joking, I'm serious!" Zhang Yangfang said seriously.

"We are also serious." Du Hui put down the grilled fish in his hand and said, "Holly, that "Tuner" is a big profit. From an economic point of view, your income from making movies is much higher than that from making music." ! Of course we want to get involved."

"But what if you lose money?"

"According to my analysis, you will not do something you are not sure of. If you really want to shoot, the probability of losing money is very small, and at least you can keep your capital. Therefore, it is worth investing in economics!"

Liu Yimin: "There are blessings and hardships!"

Zhang Yang: "How could you lose money?!"

I.
Yu Dongqing didn't know what to say.

I was supposed to be out fishing today, so why was it involved in filming?

Or, just try it?

Pay tribute to those excellent martial arts films in the original time and space.

"Then I'll write a script first, and you can see if it works?" Yu Dongqing finally said.

"Okay, it's not urgent, you write slowly, but you must write a role that suits me!"

This matter was settled like this. After eating the grilled fish, everyone went home separately, but because they all drank beer, they had to find a substitute driver.

In the evening, as usual, Yu Dongqing drove to Houhai to pick up her daughter and went home. When she walked into the yard, she saw Mingmei practicing her sword in the yard.

My sister-in-law really has the demeanor of a chivalrous woman.

After Mingmei finished practicing, Yu Dongqing asked, "Tongtong is still doing homework?"

As usual, she had already practiced martial arts with her aunt in the yard, and the girl also liked to dance with knives and guns, and she had enrolled in martial arts classes at school in her junior grades.

"Yes, there is a lot of homework today, and Tongtong writes slowly."

Since her daughter was still doing her homework, Yu Dongqing didn't bother her, so she was about to enter the living room, but was stopped by Mingmei.

"Brother-in-law, my friend gave me another script, what do you think?"

"Okay, let me see."

Mingmei went into her boudoir and took out a thick script and handed it to him.

Yu Dongqing entered the living room, sat on a chair and read the script seriously.

It is an inspirational film for youth, which tells the story of a group of acting students from the film academy who entered the entertainment circle after graduation.

The more Yu Dongqing watched it, the more amazed she became. How could this plot be a bit like "Pure Mind: Chasing Dreams in Showbiz" written and directed by Bi Zhifei in that time and space?
That's a really bad movie.

Known as "the worst movie in the history of Douban, some netizens joked that Bi Zhifei pioneered the "PPT movie", and single-handedly supported more than half of the film and television UP owners on the Internet platform.

Of course, some of Bi Zhifei's own coquettish operations made him even more notorious.

Yu Dongqing had watched this movie out of curiosity.

In fact, this movie itself should not be so bad. The story structure and genre are relatively innovative, and the protagonists are paralleled.The director's narrative technique is very unconstrained, and the shooting technique is very innovative.

It's a pity that it was too difficult, and the director couldn't handle it, and it turned out to be a bad movie.

Of course, I heard that because the film involves exposing and criticizing the shady and unspoken rules of the entertainment industry, the subject matter is too realistic and shows many negative aspects of society, some plots, pictures and lines were deleted by the relevant department, making the film even more fragmented.

Can Mingmei handle it?
Yu Dongqing didn't believe it.

Let's talk about it after accumulating some shooting experience.

Yu Dongqing put the script aside.

Mingmei was sitting next to him, seeing him like this, she hurriedly asked, "Brother-in-law, what do you think of my filming?"

"I suggest you give up." Yu Dongqing didn't beat around the bush, and spoke out her thoughts.

Bright face is a bit ugly.

After a moment of silence, he said, "I originally wanted to try, but now that you say that, I will give up and listen to you!"

Ah?
So obedient.

But Mingmei changed the subject: "Brother-in-law, you have rejected my two scripts, so what should I shoot? How about you help me write another script? You know me best, and you can write the most suitable movie for me." !"

"I also want to make a movie now, and I'm writing a script." Yu Dongqing said helplessly.

"What movie are you going to make?"

Yu Dongqing briefly talked about chatting with a few buddies while fishing at noon.

"To make a martial arts film, you have to prepare the script carefully, so you don't have time to write it for now." Yu Dongqing said finally.

"Then brother-in-law." Mingmei rolled her big eyes and said suddenly: "Brother-in-law, can I help you? How about being your assistant director and learning some of your shooting techniques?"

"The majestic Ming Dao actually bowed down to the assistant director? Are you afraid of others' jokes if it spreads?" Yu Dongqing said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Brother-in-law." Ming Mei said angrily, and then said seriously: "The last time I filmed "The Tuner", I felt that your shooting and editing techniques are very special, so I really want to learn from you!"

"Alright then," Yu Dongqing agreed.

Anyway, if I want to find an assistant, Mingmei is good.

After finishing the matter, Mingmei took the script back to her boudoir, and went into the study next door to see that Yu Tongtong was still doing homework at the desk.

"Tongtong, you haven't finished yet? Your father has been waiting for you for a long time." Mingmei frowned.

"Auntie, you have a lot of homework today." Yu Tongtong muttered, and suddenly lowered her voice: "Auntie, I just heard you say outside that my dad wants to make a movie, and you want to be his assistant?"

"Don't do your homework well, and eavesdrop on what adults are saying!" Ming Mei feigned anger.

"I just passed by the bathroom and heard about it." Yu Tongtong was not afraid of her, and said with a smile on his face, "Auntie, can you be with my dad every day?"

"Yeah." Mingmei replied, her face felt warm.

"Then you should seize the opportunity to confess your love, just like on TV." Yu Tongtong said again.

"You little devil! Why do you think about these messy things?!" Mingmei was annoyed and funny when she heard this, and lightly tapped Yu Tongtong on the head.

"Do your homework well, and don't worry about adults' affairs!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked out.

But I was thinking in my heart: "Well, what Tongtong said seems to make sense.
