Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 421 He doesn't want to shoot, I'll do it!
Yu Dongqing was a little surprised when Wang Dongsheng got straight to the point.

"why?"

"I'm afraid I can't shoot this kind of black and humorous comedy style." Wang Dongsheng said frankly, "There are more."

"What else?"

"With all due respect, I think the script you wrote is deeper and more shocking than my original one. I prefer pure and direct things."

Oh.
This is to go all the way to the dark.

Yu Dongqing sighed slightly in her heart.

"That's fine, you can shoot according to what you wrote, I will take back mine, don't let others see it."

"I know." Wang Dongsheng hurriedly said, "What about the investment?"

Yu Dongqing was silent for a while, then shook her head.

A trace of pain flashed across Wang Dongsheng's face, but he quickly returned to calm.

"Brother Yu, I still want to thank you, at least you are helping me sincerely, but I am the kind of person who will never turn back until I hit my head and bleed."

"I'm leaving, goodbye!" Wang Dongsheng drank the water in his teacup, wiped his mouth and turned to leave.

"I'm sorry, I'm not Fang Li." Yu Dongqing smiled bitterly in her heart.

Fang Li, the original well-known producer of time and space, invested in the production of many films, such as Wu Tianming's "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix", Han Han's "The Future Will Never End", Li Yu's "All Things Grow", etc., including the film The lesser-known "Anyang Baby".

Yu Dongqing turned her head and looked out the window, the sun outside seemed to become hotter.

It's the beginning of July, and "Swordsman", which was released in mainland China for 74 days, finally released.

The length of the release day can be ranked among the top ten mainland movies, and the box office is also ranked among the top five in the mainland movie box office.

48.1 billion!
Created the highest box office of martial arts films.

Of course, this does not include box office receipts in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and overseas, which are not counted when they are still in theaters.

Although the final box office and profit income have not yet been fully calculated, investors are definitely making a lot of money.

For this reason, Zhang Yang suggested that the four buddies should have a good celebration.

Drink Moutai and eat a big meal.

The venue is set at Yanjing Moscow Restaurant.

The Moscow restaurant is well-known in the eyes of Lao Yanjing, commonly known as "Lao Mo". Lao Mo has followed the high-end route since its establishment. In the 90s of the last century, it was a luxury to go to Lao Mo to eat a Western meal.

But now, in the imperial capital where delicious food is everywhere, it doesn’t seem so tall, and the people who go there are basically nostalgic people or diners who like Russian dishes.

Yu Dongqing didn't understand why Zhang Yang booked in this place.

"Change your taste and feel the Russian style." Zhang Yang has a good reason.

Ok
The meal time is set at 06:30 in the afternoon, and Yu Dongqing will go to Houhai to pick up Mingmei first.

Now that the four buddies are gathering, it is more beautiful.

Very sticky.

Lao Mo Restaurant is located on the west side of the Yanjing Exhibition Hall complex on Xizhimen Wai Street.

Yu Dongqing and Ming Meijin entered through the revolving door, stepped up the steps, and entered a palace-like world. Four large bronze pillars stood in the center like the backbone. A small band played, all Russian folk songs.

After going to the private room on the second floor, Yu Dongqing saw Zhang Yang and the others.

Dish is Russian western food, caviar, foie gras Russian style borscht red beef stew.
The wine is Moutai.

Zhang Yang said that vodka and the like are not used to drinking, but our Moutai is better.

They are all friends, so they are not so polite, joking with each other about Gong Xi Fa Cai, and then chatting about other things.

"It's my first time here." Mingmei was curious about everything in the restaurant.

"Dongqing and I knew this when we were in school, and we were very envious. But at that time, we were all poor students. We walked by the gate to see if there was no money to come in." Zhang Yang said with a smile.

"I came in once." Liu Yimin interjected: "I remember when I was in high school, at the end of the 90s, an educated youth friend of my dad came to Yanjing from the Northeast on a business trip, and I specially invited him here for a meal to feel the atmosphere of that era. feelings."

"Have you spent a lot of money?" Zhang Yang asked.

"Of course I, a student, don't know exactly how much, but our family often ate steamed buns and pickled vegetables that month."

After hearing Liu Yimin's words, everyone laughed.

"I read an article, eight 90s come here to eat a meal, it will cost the salary of one person in the family, absolutely extravagant." Du Hui also joined the topic.

"My dad's salary seemed to be 1000 yuan a month at that time. I heard him say it once." Liu Yimin said.

"It's still the wages of workers in your imperial capital." Zhang Yang took a sip of his wine and said, "I remember that my dad's monthly salary was 320 yuan, and my mother's monthly salary was even less, 200 yuan."

Mingmei was surprised: "Why are there so few?"

"The efficiency in the factory is not good, it's not bad, I will pay you some wages, and then you will be laid off, and the living expenses in the factory will be 60 yuan per month, and you will be self-employed. My sister and I are both in school, and there are four in our family. People, living expenses are only more than 100 yuan a month."

"That's not enough."

"It's definitely not enough, so my dad went to ride a tricycle, and my mother sewed clothes for others. My sister later dropped out of school, went out to work without going to university, and went directly to Shenzhen. In fact, her academic performance is better than mine."

Having said that, Zhang Yang took a sip of his wine.

"Brother Zhang Yang, hearing what you said, I think of the script my brother-in-law wrote some time ago. Sometimes the situation is really miserable."

"Holly, what script did you write?" Zhang Yang looked up at Yu Dongqing.

"I wrote it for a friend, but he didn't like it." Yu Dongqing laughed.

He briefly explained what happened to Wang Dongsheng.

"Really? Let me see." Zhang Yang suddenly became interested.

Yu Dongqing had no choice but to take out her mobile phone and send the document to the other party.

Zhang Yang looked carefully.

Seeing his rare seriousness, everyone ignored him and continued to chat while eating.

Suddenly, Zhang Yang raised his head: "Dongqing, this Wang Dongsheng is awesome? How could he not like such a good script?"

"He thinks the one he has is better." Yu Dongqing explained.

"I don't know if his one is good or not, but I think this one is pretty good. It's about our hometown, it's so real!" Zhang Yang said, "Why don't you come and shoot, Dongqing?"

"I don't have time." Yu Dongqing was very frank: "Mei Mingmei and I are getting married on the eleventh day, so we definitely won't be able to make it in less than three months, and besides, not many people will watch this movie when it's made, and the box office is designated as a loss. "

"let me see."

Du Hui also became interested when he heard it.

Yu Dongqing simply posted the document in the group of four, and both Liu Yimin and Du Hui turned on their phones and looked at it seriously.

Zhang Yang was silent for a while, then suddenly slapped the table and said loudly: "I want to shoot too! I'll invest! Is 2000 million enough?! Holly?"

Yu Dongqing thought for a while.

"If you don't invite big-name stars, 2000 million should be enough!"

"Okay, I'll vote for 2000 million! Dongqing, if you want to get married, you can do your work. I'll find the director, and you can just sell me the script." Zhang Yang said.

"You're going to lose 2000 million. I still care about this script? Just use it." Yu Dongqing laughed.

The matter was not expected to be settled like this. On the back upstairs, Mingmei asked: "Brother-in-law, do you think Brother Zhang Yang will really lose money to invest in this movie?"

"Zhang Yang is a traitorous person, how could he easily make a loss-making business?" Yu Dongqing said with a smile:

"It's just that this script touched his pain point. That experience is probably more profound to him than ours, not to mention that his father has passed away. Is it a kind of memory of my father?"

　Thanks for the monthly vote from the rusty kitchen knife
