Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

Yu Dongqing knew that it had only been a week since Huang Qihui was hospitalized due to illness. Of course, he would not be boring to follow the news in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, but a fan left a message on his Weibo.

There is also a serious analysis that it was Yu Dongqing's song "Broad Sea and Sky" that made the guy angry. Who made him talk nonsense, but he was immediately slapped in the face.

Of course Yu Dongqing doesn't think so.

What a coincidence, right?

Yu Dongqing also received a message from Wu Qinghua, thanking him for writing this good song, which made his band famous in Hong Kong.

Moreover, this song "Broad Sea and Sky" was also introduced to the mainland and began to appear on major music charts in the mainland.

Yu Dongqing is concerned about this matter and believes that this song will definitely be sung.

Something very happy happened recently. After a month and a half of popular screenings, the movie "Young You" produced by my sister-in-law Meiliang was finally taken off the shelves, with a box office of 1.025 billion yuan.

Meili became a mainland female director with a box office of over 1 billion, and it was her debut film. She received overwhelming praise.

From an investment perspective, I also made a lot of money this time.

Although the final financial results have not yet been released, there are preliminary estimates that the film's producer has a net profit of approximately more than 300 million, with an investment-to-income ratio of approximately six to one!

Yu Dongqing's studio originally invested 10 million and made a net profit of 60 million this time. Producer Li Wan's studio invested 3 million and made a net profit of 18 million. Three buddies, Luo Yun and Yu Dong, each invested 1 million and received 6 million. .

Even Meili, as a director, according to the original contract stipulates: there is no salary, and the remuneration is 5% of the net investment profit, which works out to 15 million!

She suddenly became a young rich woman.

Of course, the happiest thing is that the coal boss made 20 million and made 120 million!

After getting the news, she excitedly called Meimei and told her that she must treat her to dinner, and that she would not forget him if she wanted to make a movie in the future, and he would also come to invest.

Ming Ming declined.

It’s OK to invest, but meals are free.

Graduation is coming soon, and there are still a lot of things to do.

Lu Xiaoxi is also relatively busy.

After he came to Yanjing, he rented a small apartment in a community in Hesheng World Village near Majuqiao, Tongzhou. The location here is relatively close to the Sixth Ring Road, so the rent is also cheap, 1,900 yuan/month.

"Young You" made a lot of money at the box office, but it had nothing to do with him. His salary was only 80,000!

But later, the investors gave each of the leading actors a big red envelope to thank them for their hard work.

He got one hundred thousand.

With these hundreds of thousands of yuan, he can temporarily settle down in Yanjing.

After nearly two hours of cleaning, he finally cleaned the 40-square-meter room. He also bought some daily necessities from a nearby supermarket. Looking at the bright and clean room, Lu Xiaoxi felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

Finally I have my own home in Yanjing.

He went to the bathroom and washed his face. His originally shaved head now had light hair and became a flat head. Looking at himself in the mirror, Lu Xiaoxi felt that this was good.

At least washing your hair is not as troublesome as before when you had long hair.

I was a little hungry, too lazy to go out to eat, and a little sad to order takeout, so I made myself a bowl of instant noodles and looked at my phone while eating.

There was another thing that made him happy and troubled.

Since his starring role in "You Are Young" became a hit, several directors who were preparing for filming have extended an olive branch to him and asked him to play the male lead in the movie.

The salary also quickly rose to 1 million, and the salary for one of the movies has reached 2 million. Although it is still far behind those first-line actors, for Lu Xiaoxi.

From 80,000 to 2 million, it is already a huge leap.

He looked dizzy.

But he had no idea which movie invitation to accept.

Yanjing had no friends, so he called Liu Ming in Hengdian.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ming immediately replied: "You don't have to think about it? Of course, whoever gives more money will film whose movie! It's the one with 2 million!"

"But I read the script and it didn't seem to be very good."

"Why do you care so much? You're getting a fixed salary! It's a good thing if it sells well at the box office, but it's none of your business if you lose money!"

Lu Xiaoxi hummed twice.

"Xiaoxi, if you accept the film, you must tell the director. If there is a suitable role, introduce me to one. It should be the kind with lines and several scenes! Damn it, I've had enough of playing small roles every day!

Lu Xiaoxi didn't say anything when he heard his friend's complaints. He just liked to complain and couldn't change this problem.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Xiaoxi still hadn't made up his mind. He also wanted to do that movie with a salary of 2 million, but the script really didn't work.

It is a thriller, but when Lu Xiaoxi saw the script, he just wanted to laugh.

Damn it, he only saw scenes that insulted the audience's intelligence and were ridiculous.

For this crappy movie, just wandering around in a so-called wilderness villa, with a budget of up to 30 million, Lu Xiaoxi directly suspected whether it was money laundering.

Are you going to make a film like this yourself?

I really feel a bit unwilling to do so.

If she wanted to stop asking other people's opinions, Lu Xiaoxi thought of Yu Dongqing.

When we were filming the movie "Young You", it was Yu Dongqing who made the final decision and agreed that he should be the male lead in the movie.

This made Lu Xiaoxi secretly grateful and regarded him as his boss.

However, during the filming process, except for Yu Dongqing who stayed on the set for a period of time as a guest photographer, the rest rarely came over and went to play music.

Is it appropriate to call me now and ask?

But after thinking about it, he took out his cell phone and called. He believed that Yu Dongqing would give him the correct answer.

When he received a call from Lu Xiaoxi, Yu Dongqing was sitting on the sofa in the living room reading a book, and Luo Yun was cooking dinner in the kitchen.

Her daughter Yu Tongtong went to school during the day and Yu Dongqing picked her up at night. So after get off work at five o'clock in the afternoon, Luo Yun rushed to Yu Dongqing's house. After dinner, the two went for a walk together. At nine o'clock in the evening, Yu Dongqing went to pick up her daughter home. , Luo Yuncai returned to her residence.

Yu Dongqing was a little surprised to see that the mobile phone number was actually from Lu Xiaoxi.

To be honest, he had saved this number in his mobile phone when he was first choosing the lead role, and the two of them had almost no contact.

But he still answered.

On the phone, after Lu Xiaoxi said a few polite words, he went straight to the point and told the purpose of his visit, asking Yu Dongqing to help him choose a suitable script.

"Teacher Yu, I am very grateful to you. Without your insight, I would not be where I am today. I also believe in your vision, so please help me find out which movie I should film?"

Yu Dongqing was not surprised that Lu Xiaoxi received so many resources at once, so he said: "Then please send me the summary of the script first, and I will take a look at it first."

"Okay, right away."

"Whose phone number is it?"

Luo Yun had already finished her work in the kitchen and brought out a bowl of red and fragrant spicy noodles.

Yu Dongqing is from Qin Province and loves to eat noodles, especially oily and spicy noodles, so Luo Yun also learned to make them.

The most important thing to make spicy noodles is to be able to pull the noodles by yourself. Luo Yun learned it several times and finally succeeded. She could barely pull the purchased semi-finished noodles into thin lasagna.

Yu Dongqing took the bowl and replied while mixing the noodles: "It's Lu Xiaoxi, the leading male actor in "Young You", who called and said that he couldn't decide on a few scripts and wanted to hear my suggestions. "

"Oh, this Lu Xiaoxi trusts you, come and show me." Luo Yun suddenly became interested.
