It is a café called VOYAGE, located in a large courtyard, with seating in three areas: indoor, outdoor courtyard, and outdoor on the riverbank.

The wooden tables and chairs in the small courtyard, the fallen leaves on the ground and the yellow ginkgo trees create a strong late autumn atmosphere.

Yu Dongqing and Mingmei came indoors and saw a middle-aged man in his forties wearing a black coat, very gentle, who didn't look like a coal boss but like a literati.

After introducing each other, they learned that the other party was a best-selling author named Pan Yuan.

"Director Yu, hello, I have heard of your name for a long time, not only the songs you write are good, the movies are made well, but the fairy tale "The Wizard of Oz" written is also very good-looking."

Pan Yuan said with a smile.

"Where, you are a great writer, and I am a class in front of you." Yu Dongqing said humbly.

The sales of that "The Wizard of Oz" are really good, and Xia Yunxing's father, Xia Chunqiu, the owner of Shengwen Books, was promised to write a copy of "Kung Fu Panda", but it turned out to be pushed twice, and it has not been written until now.

Xia Chunqiu was helpless about this.

The three of them exchanged a few words and turned to the topic, Pan Yuan said that he had read the script from Mingmei and was very interested in it, so he was personally willing to invest 3 million.

Listening to his words, Yu Dongqing asked: "Mr. Pan, have you invested in film and television dramas before?" ”

"No, it's the first time."

Oh.

"Mr. Pan, you are willing to invest, and my lover and I are of course welcome." Yu Dongqing thought about the wording: "Because you have never been involved in this industry, I want to remind you that this is a relatively niche theme, and the box office will not be a big hit in the future, and it may even be a loss, you have to be prepared." ”

"This Ming Dao also told me." Pan Yuan smiled heartily: "I didn't invest in this movie to make money, I admit it if I lose it." ”

What, another flamboyant?

"Excuse me, Mr. Pan, why is this, can you explain the reason?" Yu Dongqing was a little curious.

Pan Yuan was silent, and instead of answering directly, he asked rhetorically: "Mr. Yu, I heard that Director Ming said that you have a daughter who is in junior high school this year?" ”

"Yes, it's cute."

"I talked to Director Ming and said that you have a very good relationship with your daughter, and your daughter is very happy and happy, and I am very envious when I hear it. I also have a daughter, but it's a pity that I'm incompetent as a father, just like . In the script, Lee plays his father. ”

"How old is your daughter now? Are you in middle school too? Yu Dongqing asked.

Pan Yuan's face suddenly showed a trace of pain, and he said after a while.

"16 years old, originally in the second year of high school, suspended last year, and now he is being treated in Huilongguan Hospital."

Back to Longguan Hospital!

That's a hospital in Yanjing that specializes in the treatment of mental illness!

Yu Dongqing suddenly understood.

This topic cannot go any further.

"Mr. Pan, your daughter will definitely recover." Yu Dongqing hurriedly said.

"Thank you. It's all my father's fault," Mr. Pan said with a deep sigh.

"When I first saw the script, I was deeply moved, it was literally written about me and my daughter! But Li Play in the film is still lucky, although he finally chose to give in and compromise with the world, but after all, he is still a normal child.

"But why doesn't my daughter choose to compromise and not choose to obey?!" Pan Yuan suddenly became a little excited, and his tone was choked.

Mingmei was about to say something, but Yu Dongqing held down her slender hand.

At this time, don't say anything.

It is useless to say anything.

However, Pan Yuan controlled his emotions very well.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just had a bit of a gaffe."

After calming down, he continued:

I think that parents like me are definitely not a minority, it is the so-called everything is good for you, self-righteous, and the result is to harm my daughter, so I want to invest in this film and make it for more parents to see, please don't repeat my mistakes. ”

"Mr. Pan, don't worry, I will do my best to make this film well." Mingmei interjected.

"I believe this, Mingdao." Pan Yuan looked at Mingmei: "I have seen your "Young Me", you are a very talented and socially responsible director, I believe it will be filmed well." ”

In the end, the two sides signed an investment agreement, and before the cup of coffee was finished, Pan Yuan left apologetically, saying that today was the time when the hospital allowed the patient's relatives to visit, and he had to rush over.

Pan Yuan left in a hurry, leaving Yu Dongqing and his wife.

"Alas, I sympathize with Pan Yuan and his daughter, a young girl in the flower season turned out to have a mental problem, how cruel is this!" Mingmei said with a sigh.

"What we can do now is to make a good film, let more people see it, attract social attention and reduce the occurrence of such tragedies." Yu Dongqing said lightly.

"yes." Mingmei stirred the coffee: "But, husband, you really have a script called Dog 13, which is a bit vulgar, and when the script was reviewed, people still raised this question." ”

Actually, the name of the movie should be "Dog 13, the word between A and C.

Of course, Yu Dongqing can't say that.

"Then what name did you say you changed it to?"

"Well, the dog in the play is called Einstein, and Li plays it, and he likes physics very much, so it's called Einstein and Einstein, right?" Mingmei said.

Oops

How is it the same as the original name of the original space-time movie?

"It's bright, I'm afraid I can't get through the name, not to mention that I'm still a big scientist." Yu Dongqing said with a smile.

"And what do you say you should do?"

Yu Dongqing thought for a while: "It's called "Chinese-style Youth", right? “

"Well, that's a nice name!" Mingming's eyes lit up: "It will definitely pull more audiences into the theater, and I will apply for a name change immediately!" ”

Yu Dongqing smiled slightly.

When this movie was named at the beginning, it really blocked the desire of many people to go in and watch the movie.

I don't know what the director thinks.

Casting actors is only one of the parts, and there is still a lot of work to be done in the future, preparing the crew, finding a filming location, and being busy all winter.

Yu Dongqing is very idle, and he doesn't want to go out even more when winter comes.

The day is basically to stay at home, except for occasionally going out to chat with a few buddies, shabu mutton hot pot, or simply come to your own small courtyard tea room to drink wine and taste tea.

Most of the time, I drink tea, read books, listen to music, swipe my mobile phone, and let the north wind howl outside the window.

Of course, as a husband, his daughter-in-law is busy outside, he consciously buys vegetables, cooks, washes dishes and does housework, and picks up his daughter from school on weekends, and the family unites to enjoy family fun.

He suddenly felt that he had the potential to be a housewife.

That's good.

I don't want to go anywhere.

is like the poem "Idleness" written by the great poet Lu You of the Song Dynasty

Leaf cutting frost wind,

Closed the door Xie Yuanyou.

Mei Yingxue Fukamura,

Qianpu Shui Ming Building.

It's a good day.

But at this time, he suddenly received a letter inviting him to Taipei.
