Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

Yes, is this the truth?

The two looked at Yu Dongqing again.

"Brother, what Zhang Yang said does make sense, but what's the difference between shooting like this and a chronicle composition written by an elementary school student?" Yu Dongqing asked rhetorically.

"Then how do you plan to shoot?" Liu Yimin asked.

"You will know after the post-editing is completed." Yu Dongqing gave up.

"Today I will focus on fishing, not to mention filming. I feel like vomiting when I mention filming."

Today we went fishing and tomorrow we went to Minghui Yuan for tea. Yu Dongqing took Mingliang and her two children to Huairou Huanghuacheng Water Wall for two days on the weekend. It was not until the end of April that, under Li Wan's constant urging, they went slowly. Qishue Creative Park completed the post-production of "Ashes of Time".

Meili continued to act as deputy. Lele was already one and a half years old. She had a nanny and her mother often came over to help take care of the child. She felt relieved.

My husband's filming process was dull and boring, but watching his post-production editing was a pleasure.

Yu Dongqing's brutal editing techniques are no stranger to Meimei. Nowadays, many directors, especially those who make martial arts films, imitate this editing method, with one shot of 0.5 seconds and rapid camera switching.

Of course, whether the picture is taken with flowing clouds and flowing water or in the clouds and fog is another matter.

But this time, Meili soon discovered that Yu Dongqing was also very unique in plot editing.

"Husband, why is the plot cut like this? The timeline seems so messed up." Mingliang asked curiously.

"The entire plot unfolds based on Ouyang Feng's memories. Since the memories are in the form of memories, they must be scattered, but one scene serves as an image to connect all the plots together - that is the peach blossom." Yu Dongqing explained while moving the mouse.

"Husband, I don't think many viewers will be able to understand your narrative method of disrupting time and space, and the box office will definitely suffer." After hearing Yu Dongqing's detailed explanation, Ming Mingmei said with a sweet smile.

Yu Dongqing laughed.

"I've already made my money back with the movie "East and West". I can play this one however I want."

However, producer Li Wan found out about this.

Today is already June 15th, and the post-production special effects and film editing of "The Poison of East and West" have basically been completed. Next is the post-production dubbing, recording of interludes and so on.

Although Li Wan, as a producer, usually does not intervene in the professional shooting and production of the entire film, at the end of every important stage, he has to take a look and give his own opinions.

Early this morning, he came to Qishu Creative Park. The employees of the production company in the office had already started working, but Yu Dongqing and Mingliang hadn't arrived yet.

"Morning, Holly, bright."

After a while, when Li Wan saw the couple walking into the office hand in hand, Li Wan greeted him and said enviously:

"They are indeed a sweet couple. Look at who in the film and television industry is as loving as you two."

"Of course!" Meimei said and deliberately held Yu Dongqing's arm tightly, with a proud look on her face.

Yu Dongqing was a little helpless, not used to this.

Maybe it's because middle-aged men are more reserved about love?

"Start work." Yu Dongqing said and turned on his computer.

"Li Wan, you watch the video slowly while I make some tea." After Yu Dongqing finished speaking, he went to get his tea cup.

"Husband, let me soak it for you." Mei Liang picked up the thermos bottle.

Li Wan sat at the computer and looked attentively. His face became more solemn as he looked at it. Finally, he turned around and said to Yu Dongqing, who was sitting on the sofa leisurely drinking tea: "Dongqing, why are you editing like this?"

"Huh?" Yu Dongqing raised his head and looked at him.

"If I understand the plot, it should be like this." Li Wan clicked the mouse and quickly switched the screen.

"1. On Baituo Mountain, the woman Ouyang Feng loved married his brother out of anger. After learning about this, Ouyang Feng wanted to elope with his sister-in-law, but was rejected. Ouyang Feng sadly left Baituo Mountain and came to the desert to start a business. Mainly engaged in the murder business."

"2"

Li Wan finished the plot in one breath, which was almost exactly the same as what Zhang Yang said.

"Normal editing, according to the narrative logic, should be 1, 2, 37, 8, 9, in the order of the timeline. I dare say that if edited like this, the box office cannot be compared with the 2.6 billion of "East and West" , but at least selling it for 500 million or 600 million yuan will be enough to protect the capital, right?"

"But good for you, here comes 5, 3, 6, 7, 1, 8, 2, 4, 9! This non-linear fragmented narrative makes the film difficult to understand. What's even more maddening is: some narrative lines are still unclear. It enters and exits different paragraphs in the form of interludes. For example, the third paragraph about Jingzhe appears in the narrative line of paragraph 5 in the form of interjections."

Li Wan became angrier as he spoke.

"Didn't I use different solar terms to mark the five paragraphs 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9? Solar terms mean the passage and sequence of time." Yu Dongqing explained with a smile.

"But, Holly, the audience doesn't pay attention to these details. They want to see a clear and clear story!"

"Then it's good to watch "East and West"."

Seeing the two arguing, the employees in the office stopped what they were doing and looked at them.

"You really won't change?!" Li Wan's face turned ugly.

"I am the director. According to the signed contract, I will be responsible for all technical matters." Yu Dongqing looked calm.

"You! If you don't listen to me, I won't be a producer anymore!" Li Wan clicked the mouse angrily, turned around and left the room.

This is the first time the two of them have had a quarrel with a dark face after working together for so long.

The atmosphere in the room was somewhat solidified.

"Keep working!" Yu Dongqing said and picked up the tea cup.

On the way home at noon, Mingliang volunteered to drive. Looking at Yu Dongqing who was sitting in the passenger seat, looking thoughtful, she couldn't help but said: "Husband, people in the industry say that you and Li Wan are a pair of gods, but you guys were arguing so fiercely today. .”

"No matter how loving a couple is, they will quarrel, let alone friends?" Yu Dongqing came back to her senses: "It's okay, he can understand."

Sure enough, two days later, after Yu Dongqing took a nap at noon and was about to go to Qishushu Creative Park, he heard the nanny opening the courtyard door and saw Li Wan coming in through the window.

The first thing he said when he saw Yu Dongqing was: "I want to drink tea! The best Longjing!"

Yu Dongqing smiled and said: "Where to go? At my house or to Minghui Tea Garden?"

"Minghui Tea Garden, I want to calm down the fire."

The two then drove to Dajue Temple in Bei'an River one after another.

Today is not the weekend, so there are relatively few people here to drink tea. The two of them sat opposite each other in front of the tea seat, drinking tea slowly.

The fragrance of tea lingers, the green leaves outside the window reflect the yellow wall, the scenery is picturesque, and my originally impetuous heart slowly calms down.

Li Wan took a sip of tea and suddenly sighed: "I really admire you. You can obviously make money, but you have to make a loss. If other investors know about it, you will be so angry that you vomit blood."

"Vomiting blood? What's the purpose of "East and West"? Just to stop their mouths." Yu Dongqing smiled slightly: "Besides, you can't make enough money in your life, you should always shoot something you like to do. Bar?"

"Okay, okay, I can't help you. I won't talk about script editing. You have to be better at music production, especially theme songs, right? This is your strength."

But Yu Dongqing's words surprised him again.

"Forget about the theme song, just make a purely musical overture."
