Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry - Chapter 571

c571 “A good man has a safe life”

This year’s Chinese New Year was celebrated in my hometown of Huayin. On the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the family was already sitting in the main room, surrounding the stove and turning on the TV.

Today is the premiere of “Late Night Diner”.

At eight o’clock sharp, after three minutes of annoying commercials, the TV screen changed to show the bustling scene of the city at night.

The characters “Late Night Canteen” appeared in the center of the screen, and a soothing female voice sounded in the background:

How many past events have there been?

as if just yesterday

How many friends have you had?

As if still around

Maybe I’m depressed

Meeting is bitter or sweet

Now raise a glass and wish

Good people have a safe life

“Husband, I really didn’t expect you to write such a song.” Meili laughed softly.

yes

Yu Dongqing didn’t expect it either.

When thinking about the opening song of the TV series, Yu Dongqing suddenly had a whim and thought of the theme song “Good people live in peace” from the popular TV series “Desire” in the original time and space in the early 1990s.

This song was written by Yi Ming, composed by Lei Lei, and sung by Li Na, the same singer who sang “Qinghai-Tibet Plateau”.

“I think this song is pretty good.” My mother, Liu Fenglan, praised: “At least I can hear it clearly.”

Ah?

I have watched the TV series Yu Dongqing and Meimei many times. Today I mainly watched it with my parents to kill time.

After the two episodes were played, Yu Dongqing asked her parents: “Mom and Dad, do you think it’s good to watch?”

“It’s okay, son, when did you learn how to cook?” Dad Yu Hongjun asked.

I # ￥%…………

Yu Dongqing is concerned about the ratings.

At noon the next day, Li Wan called and told last night’s ratings: 1.25%.

The ratings are not the highest, but they are not low either.

Yu Dongqing was very satisfied.

Just take pictures of what you like.

If you really want to make money, you might as well make movies. It turns out that there were many well-received and well-received movies in that time and space.

“Late Night Diner” airs two episodes every Saturday and Sunday. As the plot deepens, the ratings gradually increase and it becomes a hot topic on the Internet.

“How can a TV series be filmed like this? Aren’t you going to film a fairy tale flying around, glamorous men and women in the city, or an anti-war drama about tearing apart Japanese soldiers?”

“Wow, there are ordinary people in the TV series. There are poor people who go to food stalls and fly restaurants. I thought the poor people in the TV series live in courtyards within the second ring road?”

The topic quickly attracted the attention of young people.

Lu Yurong is a typical single urban white-collar worker who lives a nine-to-five life. After get off work, she goes shopping with her best friends, watches movies, and occasionally goes to bars.

She rarely goes to barbecue restaurants and food stalls. First, she finds the environment poor and dirty, and second, she doesn’t like the lively and noisy atmosphere.

Or, I am alone in my bachelor apartment, eating pistachios, sitting on the sofa with a pillow in my hands, watching short videos on my phone, and occasionally turning on the TV to watch variety shows and catch up on Korean dramas.

She rarely watches domestic dramas, whether they are ancient dramas or modern urban dramas.

Exaggerated and artificial.

But recently I was attracted by a TV series.

To be precise, it should be said that it is the promotional song “We Are All People Returning at Night”, which is clean, cool and yet warm.

The songwriters are Yu Dongqing, and the singer is Hong Kong star Wu Jingqi.

Lu Yurong likes to listen to the songs written by Yu Dongqing for Wu Jingqi. They are simply sung for urban white-collar workers like her.

The two of them were a perfect match together.

For a while, Lv Yurong, like some Xigua people, thought that the two were in love. Later, one married his sister-in-law and the other married a rich man. Only then did he realize that the two were just friends.

With this song, she suddenly became interested in watching “Late Night Diner”.

The theme song seems a bit tacky, but it turns out it’s not as refined as the ending song.

The first unit is about the story of urban management and a lady who sells pancakes.

It was true, but she wasn’t too interested.

Because such a thing is far away from her.

But the second story moved her deeply.

An unresolved love story between a white-collar worker and her boss.

The heroine Su Li in the story is as gentle and gentle as she is, and there is an inexplicable relationship between her and her equally gentle boss.

Different from the lively atmosphere of the previous unit, the story of this unit was filmed late at night in late autumn.

The dim yellow tones of the street, the changing light and shadow, Su Li’s cheongsam, body line, calves, boss’s hair oil, cigarette and tie are intertwined.

Lu Yurong was fascinated by what she saw.

Also, that bowl of wontons looks so delicious, it makes people salivate.

Lu Yurong hugged the pillow and watched, suddenly feeling a little hungry.

The next day too, Lu Yurong turned on the TV on time, and “Late Night Diner” started playing again.

This time it tells the story of a female middle school student who met a heartwarming person at a barbecue.

She suddenly remembered her last night of college graduation, when she ran to Yuanxi Road to eat rice noodles.

She knew that this was the last bowl of rice noodles she would eat in this city, and next time she saw her she would be a passerby. The boss was an aunt who recognized her and said, “Have you graduated?”

She nodded.

The aunt smiled and said: “You have been eating my rice noodles for a year and you haven’t gotten fat yet. I will give you more rice noodles in the last bowl.”

There is no smooth journey and no bright future.

Thinking about it now, my heart feels warm.

Then she suddenly felt something.

It turns out that the theme song doesn’t seem so earthy.

Good people have a peaceful life.

The boss who is in debt and forced to have no choice has a sad ending

The story of the beggar and the stray dog ​​who waits for his dead owner every day

Lu Yurong was surprised to find that she had finished watching the 20-episode TV series! There is also a feeling of unfinished business.

Unable to resist, she took to Douban and wrote this text under the many comments on “Midnight Diner”.

There are joys and tears, some fireworks, some human touch…

What’s touching is not the food or the storyline, it’s the fact that there are still people in this world who care about the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys of little people and pay attention to them.

At this time, Yu Dongqing had already returned to Yanjing and continued to live a leisurely life.

The first round of broadcasting of “Midnight Diner” has ended. It is said that two other satellite TV stations have purchased the rights and are preparing for the second round of broadcasting.

What makes people even more speculative is whether Yu Dongqing will film a second season?

In Yu Dongqing’s courtyard, Li Wan and he were talking about this topic.

The weather was particularly nice today and the sun was warm, so instead of going to the teahouse, I sat in the small courtyard drinking tea and basking in the sun.

“Holly, you have had a good harvest this year.” Li Wan said: “The final highest ratings of “Midnight Diner” reached 3.1%, setting the highest ratings for TV series in recent years, and the “Wandering Earth 2″ is now The box office has already reached 2.8 billion. It will be difficult to break through the first film, but I think it will be no problem if it reaches 6 billion.”

“The Wandering Earth 2” was released on New Year’s Eve and is still a hit at the box office.

Yu Dongqing smiled and asked, “Isn’t it your harvest year?”

Yes, I admit it. Li Wan chuckled and asked again: “Dongqing, do you plan to film the second season of “Midnight Diner”?” I must strike while the iron is hot! ”

“Okay. If you take more pictures, I will be as fat as Zhang Yang.”

After listening to Yu Dongqing’s words, Li Wan laughed.

Indeed, after filming a food drama, this guy’s waist has become rounded, and he was recently forced by his wife to lose weight.

“Lao Li, I really don’t want to shoot anymore. I want to retire.”

“Retire?!” Li Wan looked at him in shock.

“Well, at most I can write some scripts, movies or TV shows, etc. I don’t want to make them.” Yu Dongqing looked at the blue sky and said leisurely. (End of chapter)
