Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 87

Playing from 10:[-] p.m. to [-]:[-] p.m., everyone went back to sleep. The daughter insisted on sharing a room with her aunt, and Yu Dongqing had nothing to do with her.

At eight o'clock the next morning, Yu Dongqing dressed and washed. When she saw Liu Huiyan in the living room, she greeted her and asked, "Where's my dad?"

"Get up before dawn, and go to the lake to take pictures of the sunrise with the friends he knows." Liu Huiyan replied.

sunrise?

Yu Dongqing looked at the sky outside the window, it was cloudy today, why did you shoot the sunrise?
Not long after, Mingmei came out of the room with her daughter Tongtong. After washing up, everyone was about to go to breakfast. They saw Ming Hanwen coming back wearing a military coat and carrying a tripod, but his face was not very good.

"The weather forecast clearly said it would be sunny today, how could it be cloudy? We had to squat by the lake before dawn, but we didn't get any photos!"

"The weather is so cold and you have to go to shoot some sunrise, what should I do if I catch a cold?" Mother-in-law Liu Huiyan felt sorry for her husband: "You are over [-], do you think you are still young?"

"That old Wu is the secretary-general of the Photography Association. He is already seventy years old, so he still takes pictures of the sunrise with us early in the morning!"

Ming Hanwen was very unconvinced: "I heard from him that since he fell in love with photography and often went outdoors, he has lost all his high blood pressure and high blood lipids! He is in great health! He said that he plans to go to Qinghai Lake to take pictures in the summer!"

"You have heart disease! Can you compare with others?" Liu Huiyan retorted.

Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, Yu Dongqing hurriedly advised: "Mom, my dad goes out to take pictures, and running in the wild is really good for his health, but Qinghai Lake, Dad, don't go."

"The altitude near Qinghai Lake is more than 3000 meters, and there will be altitude sickness. Moreover, from Xining to Qinghai Lake, you have to climb Riyue Mountain. The altitude is 4000 meters. Your body may not be able to bear it." Yu Dongqing explained.

"I'm just talking, of course I won't go to that place." Ming Hanwen's tone softened.

"Dad, in fact, you don't have to go to far places to take pictures. We have many good pictures in Yanjing City." Yu Dongqing continued to persuade.

"Tiananmen? Forbidden City? Or Shichahai? I'm tired of going to those places."

"That's not the case, we don't need to go to those popular scenic spots." Yu Dongqing continued with a smile:

"Beautiful scenery can be found everywhere around us. For example, the Swallow Alley in front of our door: gray walls, black tiles, red doors and windows, full of ancient flavor. The crowds in the alleys and alleys are full of life. It must be very beautiful. Also, Courtyard 46, Fangjia Hutong”

"Fangjia Hutong No. 46 Courtyard? I remember that it seems to be a machine tool factory?" Ming Hanwen took over the conversation: "I visited it at the end of the 80s. It was very prosperous at that time, but now I hear it has been abandoned."

"Yes, but the auditorium, boiler room, constant temperature workshop, office building and other buildings built from the 50s to the 90s are still preserved. Looking at a feeling of going back in time, it has the atmosphere of the times. Transformed into an art park, it is worth taking pictures in the past.”

"Look at this picture I took." Yu Dongqing said as she opened her mobile phone gallery and called up a picture.

Next to an old abandoned machine tool, a stylishly dressed girl is sitting on a rattan chair and drinking coffee leisurely.

The precipitation of history and the publicity of reality are surprisingly harmonious.

"Holly, you did a good job, especially the angle of the scene." Ming Hanwen praised.

"So-so, mainly because this place is good." Yu Dongqing said modestly.

"And this one was also taken by my brother-in-law!"

Mingmei also came over to join in the fun, took out her mobile phone and opened the picture of riding a horse that Yu Dongqing took for her yesterday, Ming Hanwen looked at it.

Sure enough, the photos I took looked much better than myself, and I felt like I was taking artistic photos.

"That's why I think Yanjing has a profound cultural background. There are many cultural and natural landscapes. Maybe we are used to seeing them and taking them for granted. In fact, they are all beautiful. You said to Tongtong even if you were not in the car: Beauty is everywhere. There are. For our eyes, it is not a lack of beauty, but a lack of discovery."

Yu Dongqing took the opportunity to say.

Ah?
You kid, you actually blocked me with my words?

But it does make sense.

Ming Hanwen nodded involuntarily.

Liu Huiyan who was next to her was happy when she saw it.

It's still the son-in-law who is so powerful that he can convince the old man.

"Holly, I think you have a lot of research on photography. If you have time, you can accompany me to various places in the city. How about we learn from each other?" Ming Hanwen said suddenly.

"No problem." Yu Dongqing replied heartily, "I'll buy a SLR when I'm free."

Photography is also a big hobby of mine, and it would be nice to go around with the old man.

But the mother-in-law Liu Huiyan objected: "You have retired for a long time now, and Dongqing still has to go to work."

"It's okay, Mom. I plan to leave my job after New Year's Day. There will be plenty of time in the future."

"You want to leave?" Liu Huiyan was taken aback.

"Well, it's not interesting to stay in the company. Besides, Tongtong is in the first grade and I have to accompany her well, tutoring her homework and so on." Yu Dongqing explained.

"Your dad and I are the tutors, and you're still worried that we can't teach Tongtong well?!" Liu Huiyan said angrily.

Whoops misunderstood.

Just as Yu Dongqing was about to explain, she heard Mingmei say: "Even if I don't teach Tongtong, my brother-in-law should have resigned long ago. With my brother-in-law's current ability, it's really aggrieved to stay in the company! Look at those famous musicians, isn't that Do it alone?!"

"I made an agreement with my brother-in-law. In the future, I will be a film director. He will cover all the filming and music, hehe."

Liu Huiyan glared at her, but said nothing.

After the family had breakfast, Ming Hanwen got up early and was a little tired and wanted to rest in his room, and then he walked around the neighborhood and didn't want to go far.Liu Huiyan was worried about her husband's health and dared not leave, so she stayed with him.Yu Dongqing and Mingmei were the only ones left with Tongtong going to the Huahai Sightseeing Area on the sightseeing train.

The three of them had just walked out of the courtyard of the hotel, when they heard Mingmei say: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, wait for me." After saying that, they ran back to the courtyard.

It didn't take long to see Mingmei running out again with a small bag on her back: "Brother-in-law, you went to use this to take pictures."

It turned out to be my father-in-law's SLR camera!

"This is Dad's treasure, can you take it out?" Yu Dongqing was surprised.

"Dad is sleeping now, I stole it out." Mingmei giggled: "I told Mom, and when Dad asks, he will say that I will borrow it."

Ah?
It seems that the whole family has nothing to do with this girl.

However, the shooting effect of this SLR is definitely much better than that of a mobile phone.

"Okay, then I'll take some good photos with you and Tongtong!" Yu Dongqing said.
