Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 408 "Who is Director Yu? Not familiar."

"Didn't you notice that the judges for the Golden Rooster Awards are either from Chinese opera or from Yandian?" Yu Dongqing's words were meaningful.

Bright fell silent.

In fact, everyone in the industry knows an unspoken rule. The "academic" judges of the two major Yandian/Chinese Opera classes are formed in the same line, and they form groups to promote newcomers.

Seeing that Mingmei stopped talking, Yu Dongqing smiled, put her arms around the girl's shoulders and walked slowly towards the hotel.

This time and space is like this, so why not that time and space?

The background discrimination in the film industry is so obvious. The Chinese Opera/Yandian Acting Department is a real class, similar to the "Qingbei" of ordinary people.Compared with Chinese Opera/Nortel, Shanghai Opera is a "quasi-class", similar to the "985" of ordinary people.

The others are "non-science classes"...

Otherwise, why have new-generation actors like Wu Jing, Xu Zheng, Shen Teng, and Wang Baoqiang not been able to win the Golden Rooster Award?
For example, Wu Jing was nominated for the Golden Rooster actor for the first time at the age of 48 with "Changjin Lake", but in the end he just accompanied him. The rest of "Wolf Warrior 1/2", "The Wandering Earth", "The Climber" and "One Second" all had zero nominations.

Needless to say, one is worse than the other.

But it doesn't matter to Yu Dongqing.

As long as the audience likes to watch it.

The film finally completed all shooting tasks on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, and the film was successfully completed. The next step is post-editing.

The crew disbanded on the spot, and hurried back after having a meal, one by one returning home like an arrow.

When I went back, I still rushed to Guilin to take the plane. Li Wan and Zhang Yang went back together.

Li Wangang came back from Yanjing. In fact, his main task was to contact the post-production company. This film requires a lot of special effects in the post-production, so we can't just find a small company to produce it like "The Tuner", and Yu Dongqing basically did it himself.

Of course, by the way, I participated in a relatively hot awards ceremony party.

Returned to Gongcheng in a hurry, and returned to Yanjing together after the crew completed the final filming work.

The three of them were still sitting in a row.

On the plane, Li Wan was going to complain about the awarding of the Golden Rooster Awards, but Yu Dongqing stopped him.

"Don't talk about that, it's meaningless."

Li Wan thought that Yu Dongqing was unhappy because he didn't win the award, so he changed the subject accordingly.

"Holly, have you watched the movie trailer for this spring?" Li Wan asked.

"Look, there are no American blockbusters introduced during the Spring Festival this year, and Xiangjiang movies didn't join in the fun. It's all mainland movies." Yu Dongqing replied.

"That's right. In terms of major productions, there are Lu Yongru's "Yi Tian Shou Long" and Liu Shaohua's "Wind and Cloud Swordsman". Some people predict that the box office champion of this Spring Festival will come from these two films.

"I can't say much about "Eternal Sword and Dragon Slaying", but Liu Shaohua's "Swordsman of Wind and Cloud" is definitely a bad movie." Zhang Yang interjected and laughed.

Looking at the slightly surprised eyes of the two, Zhang Yang replied: "Based on the "Monster Wars" he filmed last year, what kind of nonsense was filmed? I don't know what Jia Chuang's boss thinks. Why did you find such a director?"

"Hey, you're wrong, Zhang Yang, I heard that this time, he is trying his best to make a comeback. I heard that he has signed a gambling agreement with Jia Chuang."

"Gambling agreement?"

"Yes! It is said that the box office of this film must exceed 13 billion. If the target cannot be achieved, Liu Shaohua needs to make up the difference with cash."

"13 billion? According to what I heard, the investment for this film is 2 million. Although there are no American blockbusters in this year's Spring Festival, it is still quite difficult to achieve the goal."

"It depends on the box office of Lu Yongru's "Devil Wars"? The Spring Festival is basically the ultimate battle between these two martial arts films." Yu Dongqing laughed.

In fact, without Yu Dongqing saying it, these two films are already being hyped up on the Internet. From the comparison of the directors to the leading actors, to the pre-sale rankings on ticketing websites such as Maoyan, they are all topics of entertainment news.

The fans of the two companies waved their flags and shouted, and there was inevitably a war of words, and the two groups of people also traveled non-stop to major cities for roadshows.

Held a media meeting and released a trailer. They were all very busy.

Guangzhou, Tianhe CBD International Cinema.

Liu Shaohua led the main creative team to hold a road show promotional activity in the theater. Media reporters, fans and some audiences just watched "Swordsman of the Wind and Cloud".

Now Liu Shaohua is answering questions from media reporters.

Liu Shaohua is in his early forties this year, wearing a black casual suit, full of energy.

"Director Liu, you're a reporter from Huangdu Entertainment. I watched your video just now, and I was shocked."

"Thank you." Liu Shaojun replied with a smile.

Unexpectedly, the female reporter changed the topic: "There are two martial arts films released during the Spring Festival. Besides your film, there is also "Eternal Sword and Dragon Slaying" by Director Lu. What do you think of this?"

Liu Shaohua knew that the reporter in front of him was from Huangdu Entertainment, and that he and Huangdu Film and Television were brothers, how could he talk nonsense?

So he pondered for a while: "Director Lu is my senior, and I respect him very much, but I don't think my "Swordsman of Wind and Cloud" will lose to him at the box office."

"It is said that Director Yu is also actively planning to make a martial arts movie called "Swordsman" and it has already been finalized. What do you think about this?"

Liu Shaohua paused, and suddenly said something.

"Who is Director Yu? Not familiar with him."

"Who is Director Yu? Not familiar with him."

This sentence was immediately spread, causing an uproar on the Internet, and quickly rushed to the trending searches.

Yu Dongqing's fans scolded Liu Shaohua for his arrogance, not to mention Yu Dongqing's outstanding achievements in the music world, and he is a big boss.

Even in the film industry, last year's "Tuner" was a hit at the box office, and was nominated for several Golden Rooster Awards. Ye Xiaomin won the title of Best Actress for her performance as the heroine in the play. How dare you say that you don't know him well?
Of course, there are also netizens who support Liu Shaohua. How many days has he, Yu Dongqing, been in the film industry?If you say you are not familiar with it, you are not familiar with it. There is no need to flatter.

Besides, it was Ye Xiaomin who won the Best Actress, which only shows that she performed well.

You, Yu Dongqing, are so good, why didn't you win the Best Director and Best Screenplay?
Just run with me.

But Yu Dongqing didn't pay attention to this, he was preparing a gift for going home.

Another full car, of course they are all prepared by Mingmei.

After returning to Yanjing, Yu Dongqing went to her mother-in-law's house in Houhai to meet her father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Mingmei had already explained the situation to her parents on the phone, and then explained the situation in detail after returning home. Ming Hanwen and Liu Huiyan were helpless.

Everyone knows what the youngest daughter is thinking, especially after Luo Yun left without saying goodbye, Mingmei made no secret of her liking for Yu Dongqing.

Forget it, anyway, I know the basics, and I am my son-in-law, so let's continue to be my son-in-law.

So when Yu Dongqing met her father-in-law and mother-in-law, she didn't encounter many embarrassments, she just said that since Meimei likes you, then you should live a good life.

Go back and discuss with your parents, and get the marriage done as soon as possible, lest both parents worry about it.

All are happy.

Of course Yu Tongtong was the one who was happy.

The two slept under the same quilt at night, and the little girl secretly asked Mingmei: "Auntie, shall I call you mother from now on, or shall I continue to call you Auntie?"
