Chapter 422 Blue Sky, Sea, Beach, Sunshine

Zhang Yang really thinks so.

On the way back, the driver was driving. He was slightly drunk, squinting his eyes and leaning on the back of the chair, thinking about his deceased father and all the little things in his lifetime.

I also think of those tear-jerking plots in the script.

The shameless second brother-in-law, who still has a sense of honor and self-esteem as a worker, can only stay at home without a job and has nowhere to go;

Wang Gong, an intellectual engineer studying in Russia, always regarded himself as a worker and tried his best to preserve the factory chimney;

Chen Guilin can also play the piano well, and Shuxian has a good voice. They formed a performance band and sold their songs everywhere.

Some things he has seen with his own eyes, and some things he has only heard about, but these are all history.

Although it has been gathering dust for a long time, as a son of this generation of laid-off workers, it is necessary to show it again for everyone to see.

That’s it!

I have to spend money to film it!

Zhang Yang suddenly opened his eyes and punched the car with his fist, startling the young driver who was concentrating on driving.

"Crazy! Isn't it just a Maybach?! What's the big deal?!" The young man cursed in his heart, but did not dare to say it out loud.

Yu Dongqing paid no attention to this matter.

Yu Tongtong has already had her summer vacation. This year she will be a junior high school student, so she has no summer homework. The little girl was so excited about her coke that she asked her aunt to take her to Beidaihe.

She felt more and more that it was easier to beg her aunt than her father.

Sure enough, Meimei agreed.

Of course, how could she not drag Yu Dongqing along?

Now she wished they could be together 24 hours a day.

Yu Dongqing originally didn't want to go on such a hot day.

How cool would it be to stay at home with the air conditioner blowing on a hot day, go for a walk at night, or ride a scooter to Liu Yimin's courtyard to enjoy the cool air and chat and chat, or drink some draft beer when you're interested?

But my precious daughter and my fiancée are driving to Beidaihe, why can’t I go? I am also worried that these two beauties, one older and one younger, are not safe on the road.

Go ahead.

Give up your life to accompany the gentleman.

No, stay with the beautiful woman.

However, he put forward his opinion: "Let's not go to Beidaihe, but go to Nandaihe. Nowadays, people everywhere are following the crowd when we go out. There are slightly fewer people in Nandaihe."

Of course Mingliang has no objection either.

As long as you follow your beloved brother-in-law, you can go anywhere.

Yu Tongtong has no objection, as long as he goes out to play, he can go anywhere.

So early this morning, the family packed their luggage, and Yu Dongqing drove a Mercedes-Benz out of Yanjing, onto the Beijing-Harbin Expressway, and headed east.

Nandaihe is located to the east of QHD City, across the Daihe River in the northeast and Beidaihe Beach is adjacent to each other and connected by a bridge.

Separated by the Daihe River, there are far fewer tourists, which is exactly what Yu Dongqing meant.

Yu Dongqing spent three days in Nandaihe.

The first day, the beach.

The next day, the beach.

The third day, the beach.

What are you going to do instead of going to the beach? Go to the scenic spots? So what are you going to do at the beach?

Staying at the Times Coast Seaview Hotel, you can see the sea from the window.

This afternoon, Yu Dongqing swam a few laps in the sea wearing swimming trunks, then lay under an umbrella on the beach, wearing sunglasses, drinking juice, and watched Mingliang and Yu Tongtong playing in the sea from a distance.

Beautiful girls, big and small, are very eye-catching, but why don’t there men around take a look?

Fortunately, both of them were wearing relatively conservative two-piece swimsuits.

Blue sky, sea, beach, sunshine.

Well, everything is wonderful.

At this moment, the cell phone rang, and Yu Dongqing answered it as soon as he saw that it was Zhang Yang.

"Holly, what are you doing?"

"He Meimei and Tongtong were playing in Nandaihe. This place is quite nice. What about you? Where did you go? Going abroad. Didn't you want to go to Australia some time ago?"

"I'm not as lucky as you. I'm as busy as a dog."

"Are you busy? About the piano store? Is your sister-in-law busy? You are just a hands-off shopkeeper." Yu Dongqing laughed mercilessly.

"It's not about the piano shop, it's about the filming!" Zhang Yang poured out his bitterness to Yu Dongqing on the phone.

It turns out that after Zhang Yang got Yu Dongqing's script, he started planning for the film and first found Li Wan.

The two met through Yu Dongqing's filming and can be considered friends.

In Li Wan's studio, Zhang Yang went straight to the point and hoped that Li Wan could be the producer of this film and help find a suitable director. After all, he had a lot of resources.

Li Wan was very surprised after reading the script.

"What's going on? Not long ago, Wang Dongsheng said that he was going to make a movie about laid-off workers. Why did you come to join in the fun?"

Li Wan is not Yu Dongqing, and the relationship hasn't reached that level yet, so Zhang Yang doesn't want to tell the real reason, but he is interested and wants to take pictures.

"I'll invest the money! You just need to be the producer and find me a suitable director at the same time. Make sure the film is successful!"

But Li Wan shook his head.

"The subject matter of your script is relatively sensitive. Although the plot content is not as bold as Wang Dongsheng's, if the director cannot control it, it will easily cross the line and fail to pass the review. More importantly, it will not make money!"

"Aren't you a group of friends who specialize in making literary films without considering the box office? Find me a capable one, who might win an award!"

Li Wan originally didn't want to take this job, but because of his reputation, he had to help him find a relatively reliable director. When he heard that he didn't need to consider the box office and could just make the film, there were a few directors who were willing to give it a try.

But once the two parties came into contact, some directors felt that the subject matter was too old and did not want to film it, while some Zhang Yang felt that the other party was not good enough and was exaggerating.

I don’t need you to be miserable, don’t engage in some obscure “artistic style”, the purpose is to go to foreign countries to win awards, just follow the script and film it seriously.

It doesn’t matter if you get a prize or not.

besides

The budget is 60 million?

I want to do business at a loss, but I am not stupid!

I contacted several directors but couldn't reach an agreement, so I called Yu Dongqing to complain.

"Actually, Dongqing, you are right. The main reason is that the subject matter is too old and the story happened a long time ago. No one is interested, not even directors who like to make literary films." There was a bitterness in Zhang Yang's tone.

Yu Dongqing was silent.

In the original time and space, this film was released around 2010. At that time, it was only more than ten years after the wave of workers were laid off. Maybe some people remember it.

But now more than ten years have passed. People of that generation are getting older, and many have even passed away. The story has long become a distant memory.

"Zhang Yang, you look for it first. If you really can't find a suitable director, let's put it aside for now. How about I do the filming when Meimei and I get married?"

"Ha, it's really my brother." Zhang Yang was happy: "Okay, I'll look for you again. If I can't find you, I'll come to you. Don't worry, it won't delay your wedding and honeymoon with Meili."

The two chatted for a few words. Yu Dongqing hung up the phone and saw Meili and Yu Tongtong happily walking over, holding hands.

Yu Dongqing quickly took the bath towel and put one on each person.

With a glass of juice each, the two of them sat comfortably on the beach chairs and rested.

"Brother-in-law, who called just now?" Meiliang asked casually.

"Publicly." Yu Dongqing briefly told what happened.

Meili thought for a while and suddenly said: "Brother-in-law, I can recommend a director to Brother Zhang Yang."

"who?"

"It's my senior sister Li Fen who we met at the party that day."
