Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 453 About Reinterpreting the Role of Li Wan's Father in the Play
"you?"

Mingmei was a bit reluctant, but she really couldn't continue with her current state.

"Okay then, hubby, take me as your assistant." Mingmei said.

"No, you should go back to Yanjing immediately to recuperate."

"what?"

Yu Dongqing didn't say anything anymore, and immediately picked up the mobile phone and dialed the number of her mother-in-law. When she heard that her daughter was pregnant, Liu Huiyan was surprised and happy, but when she heard her daughter's current state, her heart ached, she couldn't help but blame Yu Dongqing for both of them. sentence.

"Let her come back quickly."

Seeing her mother say the same thing, Mingmei lost her mind.

Yu Dongqing was worried about Mingmei flying alone, and troubled Han Qingqing to go back with Mingmei, and Han Qingqing agreed.

Of course, Yu Dongqing did not forget to call her parents in her hometown to tell the good news, which also made them happy.

"Hey, I'm going to hug my grandson soon." Mother Liu Fenglan was very happy.

"When your dad and I finish ordering, we'll go to Yanjing to see Mingmei!"

Grandson?
Is it male or female?

But Yu Dongqing didn't say anything.

Mingmei took the plane back to Yanjing that afternoon. After seeing her off, Yu Dongqing was alone in the hotel looking at the shots on the computer, and suddenly found something was wrong.

Ming Mei seems to have some problems understanding the script.

Forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow morning.

Yu Dongqing turned off the laptop.

At 08:30 the next morning, after breakfast, the actors and crew gathered in the studio and looked at Yu Dongqing.

Yu Dongqing was going to take over Mingmei's position and continue filming. Han Qingqing had notified everyone in the crew yesterday, so it's not surprising to see him now.

They are husband and wife, although Yu Dongqing is usually very low-key, just playing music, but when he makes a movie, the box office is full.

Cao Helin looked at Yu Dongqing eagerly.

He plays the role of Li Wan's father, and he is the leading male in this film.

He likes the role of Li Wan's father very much, and he also likes the script, so Mingmei approached him and agreed without hesitation after reading the script.

Of course, he also knows that this script has a niche subject matter, and it may lose money at the box office in the future.

Although he received a fixed salary of 200 million, he also hoped that the box office would be a big hit, but he felt that according to Mingmei's filming method, something was missing.

I am an adult man and the father of a child. Adult men have complicated hearts.

Yu Dongqing saw that all the staff had arrived, briefly explained the bright situation, and then said: "I am now working as a director. I watched the shots that have been shot last night. Some parts were not handled very well. I decided to redo the scene. shoot."

"Reshoot?!" Everyone was surprised when they heard that.

The theater manager was a little surprised.

It would take more time to reshoot. I am in charge of the production, the food and drinks of dozens of people in the crew. She is a northerner who is not used to the humid climate here. !

"How many shots do we need to retake?" the production manager couldn't help asking.

"I looked, and there are more than 200, mainly concentrated on Li Wan's father."

All eyes were on Cao and Lin.

Are you dissatisfied with the male lead after changing the director?

Didn't Mingmei praise him for his performance before?

But what Yu Dongqing said later was beyond their expectations: "It's not that Lao Cao's acting is bad, but I think it's a little simple to deal with the relationship between Li Wan and her father."

Speaking of this, Yu Dongqing looked at Cao and Lin: "Old Cao, what do you think?"

"It's a bit, after all, I'm also the father of a child."

"Okay! Let's do it all over again. Today, we will first shoot the scene of Li Wan and his father in the car."

When the director spoke, everyone immediately got busy.

After a busy day during the day, Yu Dongqing held a peace meeting with the heads of various departments of the crew as usual at night, and discussed the plot with the two main actors, and did not rest until ten o'clock in the evening.

Of course, I can't forget to video chat with Mingmei who has already returned to Yanjing.

Unexpectedly, Mingmei opened her mouth to complain.

It was her mother who blamed her.

"She wants me to go to bed early and get up early, and she doesn't allow me to stay up late, husband, you know I'm a night owl, so I can't fall asleep so early."

"I have to eat boiled eggs every day. I have hated eating boiled eggs since I was a child."

"I'm still not allowed to go shopping, saying that the flu is severe in spring, and I'm afraid of infecting me, so let me wander around the yard all day, it's so boring."
Rambling.

Yu Dongqing just listened patiently.

In fact, the woman did not ask you to help her solve these things, she just wanted to speak out to make her feel better.

Just be a loyal listener.

Sure enough, after Mingmei complained for a while, her mood became brighter.

"Hey, there is one more thing. I called Han Qingqing to chat just now, and she said that you are going to retake part of the scene?"

"Yes, it's mainly the interaction between Li Wan's father and Li Wan. I think your handling is a bit simple." Yu Dongqing replied.

Ming Mei seemed a little unconvinced.

"When I was studying in the UK, I also watched a movie about this theme. It was about a mother who was not ready to be a mother, raised a boy, failed in education, and finally the boy took revenge on the family and society with a bow and arrow. A down-and-out rant to parents who “didn’t pass the test.” I found it shocking.”

"But that's a foreign country. The film you filmed is called "Chinese Style Youth"" Yu Dongqing laughed. "The two roles of Li Wan and her father are not completely opposite: Li Wan loves her father and believes that her father loves her."

"Li Wan's father also loves Li Wan, of course not as much as his younger brother." Mingmei immediately responded.

"Yes, let's make it softer. Don't make Li Wan's father so difficult. Let the audience spend two hours immersing themselves in childhood trauma and just complain. It's just a review of the problem. It doesn't make any sense."

Bright fell silent.

"Okay, husband, since you took over, I will shoot according to your wishes."

"Well, you just need to have a good rest now, don't worry about filming."

Yu Dongqing stayed in Xiamen for a month, and the movie finally finished.

Tomorrow the crew will be disbanded in place. This afternoon, Yu Dongqing invites everyone to the very famous Seaview Manor Restaurant in Xiamen for barbecue and seafood.

Facing the sea breeze, drinking beer feels very comfortable.

As a director, of course he was the one everyone paid close attention to. After toasting one cup after another, Yu Dongqing felt a little dizzy after a while.

At this time Cao and Lin came over with beer mugs.

Although he is the number one male, he actually doesn't have much contact with Yu Dongqing. Except for filming, he rarely goes to see Yu Dongqing.

Unlike other actors who like to hang out with the director, they also sit silently by themselves during meals.

It was rare to come to Yu Dongqing with a beer glass today.

"Director Yu, thank you."

"Thank me for what?" Yu Dongqing was a little surprised.

"I think your interpretation of the role of Li Wan's father is more perfect than that of Ming Dao. Li Wan's father must not be a good father. But he may not be a zero-point father."

"Because, I am also the father of a child." After speaking, he raised the beer glass in his hand.
