Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 231 Power-On Ceremony (First Update)
Ever since Yu Dongqing wrote the script of "Youth in Youth" and handed it over to Mingmei last winter, the girl has started filming.

Insufficient funds, searching for suitable actors, and reviewing project approval, I have been busy for more than half a year. In mid-June, the filming of "Youth in Youth" officially started.

Tomorrow is June NO.15 and April 28 in the lunar calendar, which is an auspicious day for opening. The opening ceremony of "Youth in Youth" will be held at Huairou Film and Television City at ten o'clock tomorrow morning.

"Mingmei, I won't go."

Yu Dongqing said on the phone.

It's too hot, it's a pain to drive for more than an hour to Huairou.

But Mingmei disagrees.

"Brother-in-law, you are the director's consultant, why can't you not come? This is my first filming, you have to support me!"

Well, Yu Dongqing has nothing to do.

The next morning, I sent my daughter Yu Tongtong to school, immediately went to the third ring road, drove towards Huairou, and arrived at Huairou Film and Television City after more than an hour.

The shooting location of "Youth in Youth" this time is not Xingmei Jincheng Film and Television City, where Yu Dongqing acted as a temporary martial artist the year before last—there are mainly antique buildings, which are used for filming costume dramas.

This time it was placed in the National China Film Digital Production Base.

Located on the east side of Huairou Film and Television Base, covering an area of ​​5.4 square meters, it is a film and television pre- and post-production center, with film and television shooting, sound recording, digital processing, film printing, animation, games, advertising production, equipment leasing, and CD production. A film factory with service functions.

Yu Dongqing drove straight to Area C in the southwest area of ​​the National China Film Digital Production Base. Not only the opening ceremony, but also part of the interior scenes of "Youth in Youth" were also filmed here. There is a studio with 16 functions here, which can meet the needs of extra-large scenes and special scenes demand shooting.

Yu Dongqing parked the car in the parking lot of Area C, and walked towards Studio 6 wearing sunglasses. A large group of people had already surrounded outside.

A banner was also hung up, which said the opening ceremony of "Youth in Youth".

"Brother-in-law, you are here!" Director Mingmei greeted with a smile, wearing a T-shirt and denim shorts, showing her big white legs again.

She has come two days early.

Yu Dongqing smiled and nodded.

"Holly, you're finally here." The producer Li Wan greeted him, and he naturally wanted to attend this important occasion.

"You come, can I not come? Join in the fun." Yu Dongqing smiled, then looked at the reporter next to him carrying a long gun and short cannon, and asked in a low voice, "You invited this?"

It is impossible for so many reporters to come to the debut show of an unknown director like Mingmei.

"Hehe. Propaganda is very important. Although it costs a little money, it's worth it!" Li Wan laughed.

Sure enough, money can turn ghosts around.

Zhang Yang played the role of the policeman Lao Yang in this play. When he saw Yu Dongqing coming over, he patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "You boy, sister-in-law, you are still late for filming."

The director is Yu Dongqing's sister-in-law? !
Most of the actors and staff members Yu Dongqing present did not know each other, but quite a few knew him.

Father Qu, the master of folk songs.

Not long ago, he participated in the "Walking and Singing" music variety show, and it was very popular. Some people joked that he brought this show to a new height by himself.

Unexpectedly, he was still a bright brother-in-law!

Many people don't know about this relationship.

"Hey, what is he doing here? Just to see my sister-in-law?" Immediately, some girls began to gossip quietly.

"You don't know, he wrote the script of this movie!"

"So amazing, I thought he could only write and sing."

"What, I heard that he can take pictures and won an international award."

"Oh, it's amazing, hey, how do you know so much?! Are you his super fan?!"

Naturally, Yu Dongqing ignored these and chatted with Zhang Yang.

"Hey, Dongqing, Mingmei said that the film crew still owes the shortcoming? I discussed with Yimin and Du Hui, and decided to invest 100 million each, so it can be regarded as supporting Mingmei's filming."

"That's a good feeling, thank you."

I heard from Li Wan that there is still a shortfall in funds, but it is enough to save money. With the 300 million, I am more confident.

Naturally, this occasion is not suitable for friends to chat privately. After chatting for a few words, someone greeted Yu Dongqing.

"Teacher Yu."

It's a pretty girl: Zhao Yawen.

Yu Dongqing hasn't seen this girl for several months.

Zhao Yawen has also been very busy for the past six months. She has released a CD album and participated in several commercial performances in other cities. Now she is playing Hu Xiaodie in the film crew.

I heard that Luo Yun helped to contact a fairy tale TV series to be the second female lead. Her ancient costume photo album on the CD is really eye-catching and fairy-like. Some crew members are very interested in this, but they are still in the process of negotiation. Even the live broadcast on Station B has been changed to twice a week.

Popularity soared rapidly.

Today, Zhao Yawen is wearing a short floral skirt like a little girl next door. Although she is a little older than other actors, she is so pretty, I really can't tell. .

Originally, Yu Dongqing wanted to make a joke saying that she was more beautiful after half a year, but she felt that it was inappropriate, so she changed her words and said, "Yawen, you are now a star."

"I will be your student no matter what."

Zhao Yawen was not being polite, she thought so.

Whether it's helping her write songs, letting her go to study, or launching a live broadcast to release an album, from the bottom of his heart, he is very grateful to Yu Dongqing and treats her as his mentor.

Yu Dongqing laughed after hearing this: "Don't, don't, I didn't teach you anything."

The two chatted for a few words. Yu Dongqing was just about to leave when she suddenly heard a girl calling herself: "Teacher Yu."

Looking back, it turned out that the second female number Ye Xiaomin.

Wearing T-shirt denim today, it looks very quiet.

Yu Dongqing was wary of Ye Xiaomin.

He wasn't afraid of Ye Xiaomin, but rather worried about her godfather - the big money maker of the investor - Zhang Longwen, the boss of Longkuang Coal Industry.

Worried that Zhang Longwen, relying on the investment of 2000 million, would point fingers at Mingmei as the director.

Fortunately, so far, according to Mingmei, Zhang Longwen didn't say much except for asking about the progress of the filming a few times.

Yu Dongqing was very satisfied with this.

Seeing Ye Xiaomin greet her now, Yu Dongqing also answered with a smile on her face, and of course they both said a few words in air.

Yu Dongqing also saw Lu Xiaoxi, the leading male lead.

Unlike other actors and crew chatting in twos and threes, Lu Xiaoxi seemed a bit out of place standing by himself.

He felt a little inferior.

After he came to the crew, he realized that although the main actors of this play were all newcomers, they were either students of Chinese opera or graduates of Yanjing Film Academy. It used to be just a group performance in Hengdian.

When the staff of the crew studio chatted and asked, he was embarrassed to say.

Seeing Yu Dongqing coming over today, several actors went over to say hello one after another, he suddenly felt a little timid when he thought about it.

It was Lord Yu Dongqing who came over to say hello: "Lu Xiaoxi, are you all ready?"

"Teacher Yu, get ready!"

"Act well, I like you!"

"Ok!"

Lu Xiaoxi immediately felt greatly encouraged.

Seeing that it was almost ten o'clock, the assistant director Han Qingqing greeted loudly: "The time is up soon, everyone is queuing up, get ready for incense."

It turns out that when Xiangjiang makes movies, the opening ceremony is full of traditional colors. When the auspicious time comes, from the investors to the main creators, and then to the on-site personnel, incense will be offered one by one. There are always rich offerings prepared on the scene, and some big crews who pay attention to it will cut and burn together on the spot. Pig, no matter how awesome the crew is, it is also necessary to turn on the machine and worship God.

The same is true in mainland China now, including the shooting of some dramas.

"Youth in Youth" is no exception.

"Brother-in-law, you take the lead. You are a consultant, a screenwriter, and a representative of investors." Mingmei said.
