Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 402 Special Effects of Fifty Cents
Seeing this, a group of people changed their itinerary temporarily and drove to Xianjing Hotel first, where Yu Dongqing met Director Huang.

He looked fatter than the previous two years. Director Huang was very enthusiastic. He took Yu Dongqing to sit beside him at the banquet, and said with a smile:

"Director Yu, your song "I Want to Go to Guilin" has become popular all over the country, but it has greatly promoted the development of our Guilin's tourism industry. The number of tourists in Guilin has steadily increased over the past few years, all thanks to your song."

"Director Huang, you are overrated. How can a song be so powerful?" Yu Dongqing replied with a smile.

"Director Yu, don't underestimate the charm of songs. Sometimes a song is the business card of a city. Hasn't the song "Chengdu" you wrote already become a promotional song for the local cultural and tourism industry? This is more effective than spending millions of dollars on publicity every year!"

Yu Dongqing nodded.

Although Director Huang's words were a bit exaggerated, this song really set the city on fire.

Having said that, Director Huang stood up and picked up his glass.

"Director Yu, this time your film crew has joined the Gongcheng film and television base. On the one hand, I wish you success in filming and a good reputation at the box office in the future. On the other hand, I hope that through your filming experience, your film can promote our film and television base! Come, let me toast you!"

Yu Dongqing stood up and raised her glass: "Thank you, I have done my best."

Director Zhang also interjected at this time: "Director Yu, our county leaders from the county leaders to the cultural and tourism department to our base management committee attach great importance to your filming work. The county leaders have said that they will definitely provide you with the greatest convenience!"

"Thank you, thank you."

"Wu Lili, on behalf of our base management committee, specially received your filming work this time. If you have any problems, you can find her, if you can't solve it, you can find me, if I can't solve it, then you can find the county leaders, and you must satisfy Director Yu!"

Speaking of this, Yu Dongqing could only express her gratitude repeatedly.

After eating, everyone got on the bus contacted by the film and television base and rushed to Gongcheng. In the car, Li Wan whispered to Yu Dongqing.

"This film and television base has just opened, and there are not many film and television photography groups stationed here for shooting, so when I contacted them, they expressed their warm welcome, and heard that you are the director, so they immediately decided to give us a half-price discount on the set, studio, and rented props and equipment, as well as hotel accommodation. Don't say it saved a lot of money."

"But it's a lot of pressure. You've heard from Director Huang and Director Zhang that we're here not only to make films, but also to shoulder the responsibility of publicity." Yu Dongqing said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Hey, as long as the movie becomes popular, those things are not a big deal!" Li Wan replied with a smile: "Ask where it was filmed? It was filmed in Gongcheng, Guilin! You can say something nice for them, why is it so convenient to eat, drink, and scatter there, and everything will be solved?"

This is also true.
Gongcheng is in the southeast of Guilin, and the film crew took a bus to the film and television base not far from the county seat, and stayed in a hotel in the base. That night, the local county leaders held a banquet for Yu Dongqing and the others at the hotel. In addition to repeating the words at noon, they also introduced the film and television base in detail.

It is a major project to attract investment in the county. The total investment of the project is about 15 billion yuan. It will be built into a film and television tourism industrial zone focusing on film and television shooting, integrating leisure, sightseeing, tourism, catering and training in Guangdong and Guangxi, and will create "Hengdian" in Guilin.

Invest 15 million!

It seems that the county officials are under a lot of pressure.

Of course, Yu Dongqing was just feeling emotional.

Waiting for other members of the film crew to arrive by high-speed train one after another, on November 11 the filming ceremony of "Swordsman" was grandly held at the base.

In addition to the film crew, the deputy county magistrate in charge of cultural tourism, accompanied by the director of the Bureau of Culture and Tourism, also made a special trip to attend the opening ceremony and delivered a passionate speech at the same time.

The activities attended by county-level leaders will be reported by local TV stations, and then the news will be broadcast on the news programs of county and city TV stations, and also reported on the local official website.

Of course, this is not a sensational news, not many people will pay attention to it, but it was noticed by Lu Yongru who was far away in Hengdian.

Since Yu Dongqing declined to shoot Huangdu Film and Television's "Eternal Dragon Slaying the Dragon", Jin Yunfeng finally handed it over to Lu Yongru for the filming.

Lu Yongru couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to take over. He immediately organized a film crew, found actors, and rushed to Hengdian to shoot.

The martial arts film I am good at is shooting, and the shooting progress is relatively fast. Now that it has been completed, I will return to Yanjing for post-production, and strive to stage it in the prime time of this year's Spring Festival.

After working for more than two months, Lu Yongru was eating at the hotel at noon today, and accidentally swiped this message while swiping his phone.

Yu Dongqing actually went to Guilin to shoot a martial arts movie!

"Old Lu, what are you looking at? So focused?"

A middle-aged man in his 50s came over with a plate, sat down beside him and asked.

He is Ma Helin, the producer of this film.

"Old Ma, look at this." Lu Yongru handed him the phone.

Ma Helin took a few glances, and was a little surprised at once, "This Yu Dongqing didn't accept Mr. Jin's work, but went to shoot martial arts movies by himself?"

"People don't like this script." Lu Yongru laughed.

"I don't like it? His script will definitely work?" Ma Helin sneered: "I want to see what kind of martial arts movie he makes that will shock the world!"

He is the producer of this movie, and it was his opinion when he chose the script, but Yu Dongqing refused to accept it!
I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart.

After hearing Ma Helin's words, Lu Yongru shook his head slightly.

To be honest, he felt very sorry for Yu Dongqing's rejection.

He was very optimistic about Yu Dongqing's potential in making martial arts films, and he was very impressed by the martial arts moves designed by Yu Dongqing in the film "Martial Arts Heroes".

He is now shooting martial arts films alone, and this year's Spring Festival "The Tuner" has shown that his shooting skills are quite good.

Literary dramas can be filmed, and martial arts dramas can also be filmed. How bad can a film made by such a director be?
Ma Helin didn't pay attention to Lu Yongru's expression, and continued to look at the phone, a little surprised. "Hey, Li Yunjie actually plays the leading role? Didn't he announce that he wants to take a break?"

"It is estimated that Yu Dongqing invited him, so he went. With Li Yunjie joining, it will definitely be even more powerful."

"It's okay, although Li Yunjie is good at making martial arts movies, our Zhang Zidan is also in the limelight now, no worse than Li Yunjie!" Ma Helin hurriedly comforted.

"Also. I understand why Yu Dongqing traveled all the way to Guilin to make a film?"

"why?"

"The picture is cheap. Think about how much Li Yunjie's salary is? The public market price is 5000 million! He Yu Dongqing edited and took selfies, and I haven't heard of any media company he cooperates with. How can he have so much money? It can only be compressed from other places. The film and television base has just opened, and few film crews have passed by. The local area will definitely give him a big discount, which can save a lot of money."

"Also, costumes, location... I guess the special effects are also those five-cent special effects!"
