It's early August,

"Chinese-style Youth" continues to be released in major theaters across the country, and the cumulative box office has reached 50 million.

If this continues, the box office can exceed 70 million.

The total investment of this film is about 18 million, and if it continues like this, the film will not only not lose money, but also have a surplus.

This made Mingmei very happy.

What makes her even happier is that "Chinese-style Youth" has been sent to Italy to participate in this year's Venice National Festival, and has been shortlisted for the Best Director Award in the Horizon unit.

Horizon is the screening unit, in Venice, second only to the top "main competition unit", and similar to other units, Horizon also has opening and closing films, 18 films were shortlisted, and 7 judges.

"Husband, when the time comes, you can go and try to get a trophy back!" Bright Shine sits on a swing in the yard - full of interest.

This swing was built under a wisteria tree, which was originally built for her daughter, but Yu Tongtong was often away from home, and it became a bright seat, and she sat on it and slowly shook her body to make her feel comfortable.

Yu Dongqing sat in the rattan chair next to him, drinking herbal tea and shaking a fan, and when he heard her words, he replied, "There's no need for that, right?" It's too far, even if you are shortlisted, you can't necessarily win the award, and besides, it's just the horizon unit and it's not competing for the Golden Lion Award. ”

"Even if you don't go to the film festival, you have to go to Venice, right? Elena is about to get married, how can I fly over now like this? You have to congratulate me on my behalf. ”

This one

Got married in November last year, Elena personally flew from Italy to China to attend the wedding of the two of them, and now the girl is married, and the daughter-in-law has a big belly, and it seems a little unreasonable not to go by herself.

"Okay." Yu Dongqing had no choice but to agree.

On the morning of August 22, Yu Dongqing went to Italy with his suitcase.

"Husband, when you arrive in Venice, you must apologize to Elena, I have long promised to attend her wedding, but I still broke my promise." Mingmei said as she walked out of the courtyard.

Didn't you already say sorry on the phone?

"Okay, I'll say it." Yu Dongqing replied.

"Also, come back with another trophy!"

Scold?

To be honest, Yu Dongqing doesn't think much of this thing, but Mingmei still values it very much, after all, this is a joint director of the husband and wife, which is equivalent to the first time her work has won an international competition.

But Yu Dongqing listened to his daughter-in-law's words, smiled and tried her best to complete the task.

"You have to pay attention to your body, too." Yu Dongqing advised, this is what he worries about the most.

"Well, don't worry, Tongtong and I will go back to live with my parents today."

"Where's Tongtong?" Yu Dongqing asked.

"I went to school early in the morning, didn't I want to participate in the National Youth Piano Competition? The teacher has to give her special guidance. ”

Oh, that's it.

Her daughter has been playing the piano since she was a child, and Yu Dongqing didn't force her to do anything, including the High School Attached to the Shanghai Music Academy and this piano competition, all of which her daughter wanted to participate in.

After kissing his wife goodbye, Yu Dongqing carried his suitcase to the entrance of the lane, and Li Wei drove him to the airport.

There is no full-time driver in the studio, Yu Dongqing usually drives by himself, and when he goes out, he is sent off, and Li Wei takes on this responsibility.

"Brother Yu, Yang Liu said, prepare to release your fourth album." Li Wei said as he drove.

Yu Dongqing and his Qingmangzu band, under the planning of Luo Yun, have released three albums, the first is "Wild Lilies Have Spring", which is mainly based on folk songs in the early stage, and later after the band went on tour, a disc of "Falling in Love with a Song and Falling in Love with a City" came out.

After singing in the Xiangjiang Red Pavilion, another Cantonese album was released, but this album had not yet been released, Luo Yun left suddenly, and Yang Liu took over.

Now she is planning Yu Dongqing's fourth album, mainly the songs he has sung in the past two years.

As Yu Dongqing knows, the problem is:

"Isn't Yang Liu about to give birth in two months? Not tired, huh? ”

"No way, she does." Li Wei said with a smile: "Brother Yu, you know Yang Liu's character, she said that after giving birth to a child for a month at most, she will come to work, so it will not affect her." ”

I.

What a desperate Saburo.

Now I still go to work every day with a big belly.

Look at your daughter-in-law, the whole family is treated like a national treasure.

"Okay. It's up to her, but you remind her that her body is important and that nothing goes wrong! ”

"Okay, I know."

Delivered to Daxing Airport, Yu Dongqing stepped on a flight to Venice.

This time it was a direct flight, departing at 10 a.m. and arriving at 3 p.m. local time, which was actually a full 11 hours later.

Yu Dongqing walked out of the station with his suitcase, and was picked up by a blonde and blue-eyed man - Nick.

Two years ago, Yu Dongqing filmed the actor of the short film "Tuner" here.

When Nick saw Yu Dongqing, he immediately gave a warm hug.

"Mr. Yu, Elena is busy with her wedding, so she entrusted me to pick you up." Nick is fluent in English.

"Thank you, actually no, I'm going to revisit the old place, and I know the way."

Both laughed and walked out together.

On the bus into the city, Yu Dongqing and Nick chatted: "I heard Elena say, you have now become a professional actor?" ”

"Yes, Mr. Yu, I have to thank you for that." Nick was grateful.

Indeed, if he hadn't starred in that "Tuner", he would now be an ordinary pianist in a small café next to Piazza Venezia.

Since acting in that short film, his acting skills have been discovered, and coupled with the fact that the tuner won the Venice Award for Best Short Film, his name entered the vision of a director and he was soon invited to enter the world of cinema.

Yu Dongqing still learned about these situations from Elena, and now she heard Nick say this, so she smiled and said: "You are polite, the main thing is that you have this talent." ”

Yu Dongqing is right, Nick made two movies later, made two movies in a row, and achieved good results, and one was nominated for Best Actor at last year's Italian David Awards.

It's a bit like the original time and space Italian actor Alessandro.

This is Yu Dongqing's second visit to Venice, although it is a revisit, but looking at the unique water scenery of Venice, I still feel relaxed and happy.

This time, of course, he couldn't stay at Elena's house, so Nick took Yu Dongqing to stay in a hotel called Hotel Danieli, which is located in the heart of Venice and overlooks the Venetian lagoon.

The hotel is full of traces of the aristocracy of the last century. The doors, windows, and corridors are beautifully carved with patterns, and the rich retro features and color combinations full of Italian aesthetics make the whole hotel seem to have traveled through time and space.

Yu Dongqing was very satisfied.

After a short wash, Nick told Yu that Elena's wedding would take place tomorrow at four o'clock in the afternoon at the Basilica of Santa Maria.

"But tonight, the groom, together with his relatives and friends, will come to the bridal window to play a serenade, which is our Venetian tradition. Mr. Yu, as a friend of the bride Elena, please join us at that time. Nick concluded.

“OK！”

Yu Dongqing readily agreed.

He also wanted to see this romantic scene.

Thank you for dreaming back to Datang 244, Huangding, Maitian slave, and Chiyu Fat for the monthly passes
