Since mid-June, Yu Dongqing has been writing intermittently for a month. I finished writing the script of "Late Night Canteen".

The TV series is divided into 8 units, consisting of independent stories, each story shoots 2-3 episodes, and a total of 20 episodes:

The conflict between the city manager Lao Yang and the pancake seller

A middle school girl encounters a heartwarming story at a stall

A love affair between a white-collar worker and her boss

The boss who was forced into a desperate debt ended sadly

The story of the beggar and the stray dog who waits every day for the deceased owner

The final finale is the daily life of a retired old cannon who refuses to admit defeat.

When the script was done, he immediately called his old partner Li Wan.

"Hey, Holly, do you really want to make a TV series?" Li Wan's tone was a little surprised.

"yes. It took two months to finally write it, you see? ”

"Hey, the dignified famous director doesn't go to the big screen but plays TV series? You're really, okay, you can send it to me. ”

“OK！”

Two days later, Yu Dongqing received a reply from Li Wan: "It's very down-to-earth, it's very interesting, no one in China has made a similar TV series. Well, how about meeting and talking? ”

"Okay, when will you come to my tea room to drink tea and talk while drinking."

Unexpectedly, Li Wan on the other end of the phone said, "What kind of tea do you drink?" Naturally, it is only delicious to eat barbecue and read the script. Please eat barbecue, it's good to have a barbecue on Huguosi Street, let's go there. ”

"What are you going to to go to Huguo Temple? Come to my house, I'll make it for you! Yu Dongqing said with a smile.

"You can barbecue??"

"Hey, hey. To tell you the truth, in order to shoot this TV series well, I studied with a barbecue restaurant owner for two months. ”

"Really?"

"Seriously!"

"Okay, I'll try your handiwork, tomorrow night."

"Okay" Yu Dongqing readily agreed.

The two of them eat barbecue and naturally have fewer people, Yu Dongqing called his three buddies again, except for Du Hui who took his wife and daughter back to his hometown for the summer vacation and did not come back, the other three happily agreed.

Of course, there are not only a few old friends, but also Yu Dongqing's family.

Yu Tongtong came back from the United States during the summer vacation, and when she heard that her father was going to cook barbecue at home, she immediately jumped up excitedly.

The next day, I didn't sleep lazy, I got up early in the morning, and happily drove to the supermarket with my father to buy various ingredients.

Mingmei and the little nanny Xiaxia and her son Lele are preparing at home.

A complete set of barbecue stoves was also bought last month, and Yu Dongqing was not allowed to buy it in Mingmei, saying that he was a person who ran to five, and eating these barbecue things was not good for his health.

But I figured it out later.

Don't be too strict with your husband, it's nothing to eat once in a while, not to mention that people are preparing for filming TV series.

At seven o'clock in the evening, it was almost dark, and several old friends arrived one after another.

The first one to come was Zhang Yang.

As soon as he entered the small courtyard, he shouted: "Holly, I didn't drive today, and I didn't eat dinner, but I have to chop quickly in your big chop, and I won't return home if I don't get drunk." ”

"Don't talk so much, come over and help." Yu Dongqing scolded with a smile.

Zhang Yang smiled, rolled up his sleeves, washed his hands and helped skewer the mutton.

It didn't take long for Li Wan and Liu Yimin to arrive one after another, and the courtyard became lively.

The barbecue grill is placed under the wisteria trellis in the small courtyard, and there are two tables with cold beer and drinks next to it, including the little nanny Xiaxia, and everyone chats while eating. The topic is naturally inseparable from the TV series that will be filmed.

The script has already been sent to the group for a few old friends to read, and Yu Dongqing means to let everyone express their personal opinions.

In fact, Yu Dongqing has already asked for the opinions of his daughter-in-law and old friends for many plots, and today he just took this opportunity to get together.

"Husband, my favorite is the script in the third unit, it's so heartwarming." Mingmei said first.

The three-unit plot is based on Du Hui's personal experience told by her daughter-in-law, and Yu Dongqing also specially designed the neighbor's little girl for the protagonist Brother Hui - call him uncle, and like to come to his barbecue stall to play on weekends, so that the story happens.

"I think the story of the chengguan and the proprietress who sells pancakes is very good." It was Liu Yimin who spoke.

"This kind of thing is too common in Sanlitun, and everyone can make it easy." Liu Yimin sighed after speaking, picked up a glass of beer and drank it all.

Li Wan didn't feel so much.

As a professional producer, he has to judge from his professional perspective whether this TV series will be watched in the future, as well as the investment cost, whether it will lose money, and so on.

He grabbed a glass of beer and fell into deep thought.

The script is really a bit different.

is neither the most popular costume fairy now, nor urban love, it is actually a food drama.

In fact, it's not food, it's just a trivia of ordinary people written in food.

Will the audience enjoy watching it?

Li Wan was very skeptical.

Fortunately, Yu Dongqing's golden signboard is still there, and his shooting level is even more undoubted, as long as the shooting cost is controlled, it is estimated that the capital preservation can still be achieved.

The filming cost and post-production cost of this TV series will not be high, how much money can a broken restaurant cost?

The most important thing is the actors.

It can be said that the actor's salary directly determines the cost of this TV series.

"Lao Li, what do you want? Why don't you speak? Yu Dongqing's words interrupted Li Wan's contemplation.

"I'm thinking about the cost of this TV series." Li Wan raised his head and looked at him: "The biggest expense of this TV series is the actor's salary, I don't know which actors you want to invite?" This directly determines the total amount invested. ”

Yu Dongqing pondered for a while before he could answer, Zhang Yang grabbed the topic and said to Li Wan:

"Hey, Lao Li, I can tell Holly, I want to play the role of Lao Cannon in the final unit script, and several of our buddies are going to invest, so I'm investing in the group."

"Okay, the actor's business is determined by Holly, I don't care. So you're not paid, are you? Li Wan said seriously without joking.

"Of course!"

At this time, Yu Dongqing opened his mouth and said: "I think about it, I will play the boss, and the guy will let Lu Xiaoxi play it, and the female student Wan Xue said that she is willing to play, I will ask Liu Yi again to see if he is willing to play the role of the down-and-out boss, and Mingmei is the assistant director, and she can also make a cameo appearance in some of the roles, and the rest, I will ask in private after thinking about it." ”

"Dad, I want to play a role too, okay?" Yu Tongtong next to him was immediately interested when he heard this.

"You? Okay, do a group show. Yu Dongqing glanced at her daughter and said.

Yu Tongtong originally wanted to play the role of a schoolgirl, but listening to her father's tone, it was probably no fun, so she pouted and didn't say anything.

"Husband, don't forget, there is still a member of our family who plays a role." Mingmei suddenly said with a smile.

Who?

Is my son happy?

Yu Dongqing was looking at his chubby son concentrating on munching on mutton skewers, if it was a girl, it would be okay for the little girl to make a cameo appearance as a pro-female student.

But the little boy seemed to be out of line.

"It's it!" Mingmei pointed to the bean seedling who was shaking her head and tail on the side: "Let it play the role of a stray dog."

Scold?

I almost forgot.

It's simply ready-made.

Everyone ate and talked again until ten o'clock in the evening.

Yu Dongqing is going to make a TV series!

In his Weibo, the news was revealed for the first time.

Thank you for the monthly ticket voted by the old bookworm potato and others
