Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 19 I don't like filming.

"Students, I'm going to play tricks and prepare to perform the part where the hero confesses to the heroine in the play, but I think the lines in the script are not perfect, so I'll play it on the spot."

After finishing speaking, Yu Dongqing put on the mic, brewed her feelings, and instantly entered the role, as if she had become the lovelorn youth.

He looked at the audience in front of the stage with a frustrated expression, and murmured:
If today
I wasn't stopped by that goddamn traffic light

that damn red light
if you help me once

I might stand in front of her like fate
My first love has always been fucked
Stumbled on that damn timing

by that damn timing

but fate
there is still time
It's not a coincidence that came to the door automatically
Is a myriad of choices made with earnest hope
The miraculous moment of creation
give up without hesitation and
make a prompt decision
got the timing

that guy is more earnest
I should muster more courage
The funny thing is not the traffic lights

not the time
He said such a long sentence in one breath, although his voice was a little hoarse, but his enunciation was very clear, and it seemed that he had been trained.

The handsome boy was stunned for a moment. With this line skills, it is impossible without 20 years of hard work and hard practice!
Not to mention the micro-expression on the face during the performance, it is so natural.

Could it be that he was originally an actor?
But I don't seem to have seen him.

"I'm sorry, I'm showing my ugliness." After Yu Dongqing performed this part, she bowed to everyone and walked off the stage with a smile.

There was another round of applause in the small theater.

"Brother-in-law, you are amazing! When did you learn to act?" Mingmei was so excited, she never thought he could act!
"Have you forgotten that I have a bunch of books on acting at home?"

Yu Dongqing answered calmly.

He didn't lie about this, it turned out that Yu Dongqing really wanted to engage in acting, so he bought a lot of books to read, but the result was not good in the end.

But it's for good reason.

Mingmei was a little skeptical when she heard this, but when she thought about it, it meant that her brother-in-law had talent, but she didn't usually notice it.

"Brother-in-law, where did your lines come from? It is indeed much better than the original script." Ming Mei asked curiously.

"What I read in this book, I think it is quite appropriate, so I will apply it." Yu Dongqing replied.

In fact, it is not a novel but a classic line from a Korean TV series "Please Answer 1988". He thought it was very appropriate and moved it here.

Just as Mingmei was about to ask another question, she heard a girl next to her scream: "Mingmei, he is your brother-in-law? Is he the brother-in-law who wrote "Love Song 1980" and "Love Song 1990"?"

"Of course." Mingmei looked proud.

"Wow, I like those two songs you sang so much, I didn't expect you to be so good at acting! Who are you? How come I have never seen you in movies?!"

"I'm not an actor, I'm just a music production editor." Yu Dongqing had no choice but to explain.

"Cough cough." Suddenly someone coughed twice, sitting on the side watching everything coldly, the man who looked like a teacher spoke.

The surrounding students immediately fell silent.

"He is my teacher, Zhang Wenqing." Mingmei carefully explained.

Classes in Chinese opera are free, and the teacher of this kind of student performance is invited to participate, mainly to listen to the teacher's last comment, which is very rewarding for the students themselves.

Mingmei's group of students immediately sat upright and prepared to listen to the teacher. Unexpectedly, Zhang Wenqing looked at Yu Dongqing: "What's your surname?"

"No expensive, Yu Dongqing."

"Have you studied acting?"

"I can't talk about it, I just know a thing or two." Yu Dongqing was very modest.

"Based on your skill in reciting a long line just now, and your facial micro-expression control on stage, without decades of acting career, who can do it? Unless you are a genius." Zhang Wenqing's words were slightly sarcasm .

"This..." Yu Dongqing was not easy to answer.

"Okay, let's not talk about that, I'm going to use the summer vacation to shoot a movie called "Middle-Aged Man". It's a low-budget literary film. Everything is well prepared and there is only one male lead missing. I think your temperament is quite suitable. How about you acting?" Zhang Wenqing asked suddenly.

The teacher actually asked this strange man to act in his filming!

And it's the number one male!
Mingmei was stunned.

Although her teacher is not as well-known among the general audience as those domestic box office hit directors, she is well-known in the director circle.

Not to mention that as a teacher of Chinese opera, he has trained many famous actors and directors, and he also often shoots movies. Although his films are basically low-cost literary films, the quality is very high. The most famous film "Life Drama Dream" "Won the Best Director Award at the Cannes Film Festival.

Moreover, he has been preparing for the filming of "Middle-Aged Man" for several years. It is said that he has not found a suitable leading actor until the filming started. Unexpectedly, today he caught his brother-in-law at first glance!
But well. The teacher just likes to use amateurs who seem to have never made a movie.

This is an opportunity that many ordinary people dream of!
With the blessing of this layer of halo, you can directly enter the film and television industry!

Just when everyone thought Yu Dongqing agreed, Yu Dongqing smiled: "I'm sorry, Director Zhang, I'm busy with work and don't have time to film."

Are you busy with work?

How busy can a music production editor be?
Besides, what if you are busy?

If you take time out to make a movie, isn't it better to be an unknown editor once you become famous?

Is he a fool?

Just when everyone was full of doubts, Yu Dongqing gave another reason.

"I don't like filming."

This is a true portrayal of Yu Dongqing's heart.

I have been filming film and television dramas for nearly 20 years in the original time and space, and I have long been bored.

When I came to this time and space, I had a bad life, why did I go to film again?
The students secretly scolded him for being hypocritical, and Zhang Wenqing was obviously disappointed.

It was not easy to meet a man with a very suitable appearance and temperament, and he also had good acting skills, but the other party refused.

I don't like filming!
However, people have their own aspirations and cannot be forced, Zhang Wenqing had no choice but to say that you should think about it, and then turned around and left.

Before leaving, he glanced at the longing bright face, and then remembered that he hadn't commented yet.

After thinking for a while, I came up with a sentence: "The play is not bad. Your brother-in-law also mentioned the shortcomings. Also, your acting is better than the director." After speaking, he turned and left.

A performance finally came to a successful conclusion. Mingmei went backstage to remove her make-up, then changed out of her props and costumes, put on a T-shirt and jeans, and regained her appearance as a modern beautiful girl.

"Brother-in-law, why don't you go shopping around our campus with you? Come back at night after eating, anyway, you will eat alone when you go back." Mingmei issued an invitation.

Yu Dongqing nodded in agreement.

The two walked side by side on the tree-lined avenue of the campus, and the sunlight fell on their shoulders through the gaps in the branches and leaves.

Some of the students who came and went looked at them curiously.

Many people know Mingmei, she is a beautiful and talented woman in Chinese opera, but who is this handsome and mature middle-aged man beside her?

It seems that the two are very close.

"Brother-in-law, just now my teacher invited you to star in his movie, why did you refuse?" Mingmei expressed her doubts.
