This year's Chinese New Year was spent in Huayin, my hometown, and on the night of the first day of the new year, the family had already sat in the hall and turned on the TV around the fire.

Today is the premiere of "Late Night Canteen".

At eight o'clock, as the three-minute annoying commercial ended, the TV screen turned, and the bustling scene of the city at night appeared.

Several big words of "Late Night Canteen" appeared in the center of the screen, and the background music sounded with a female voice's soothing singing:

How many things have passed

It seems like it was just yesterday

How many friends have I had

As if it was still around

Maybe the mind is heavy

The encounter is bitter or sweet

Now raise a glass of wishes

Good people have a safe life

"Husband, I really didn't expect you to write such a song." Mingmei chuckled in a low voice.

Oh, yes

Yu Dongqing didn't expect it.

When pondering the opening song of the TV series, Yu Dongqing suddenly had a whim, and thought of the theme song "A Good Man's Life" of the hit TV series "Desire" in the early 90s of the original time and space.

This song is written by Yi Ming, composed by Lei Lei, and sung by Li Na, who is the singer who sang "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau".

"I think it's a good song." Mother Liu Fenglan praised: "At least I can hear it clearly." ”

Scold?

The TV series Yu Dongqing and Mingmei have been watched many times, and today I am mainly watching with my parents to kill time.

After the two episodes were played, Yu Dongqing asked his parents: "Mom and Dad, do you think it's good-looking?" ”

"Okay son, when did you learn to cook?" Dad Yu Hongjun asked.

I #¥%............

Yu Dongqing cares about ratings.

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

The ratings aren't the highest, but they're not low either.

Yu Dongqing was very satisfied.

Just shoot something you like.

If you really want to make money, you might as well make movies, it turns out that there are many popular and popular films in that time and space.

"Late Night Canteen" airs two episodes every Saturday and Sunday, and as the plot deepens, the ratings gradually rise and become a hot topic on the Internet.

"How can a TV series be filmed like this? Isn't it to shoot the fairy heroes who want to fly around, the glamorous men and women in the city, or the anti-Japanese war drama that tears the devil apart? ”

"Wow, there are ordinary people in the TV series, there are poor people who go to the food stalls and fly restaurants, I think the poor people on TV live in the courtyard houses in the second ring road?"

The topic detonated and quickly attracted the attention of young people.

Lu Yurong is a typical single urban white-collar worker, living a 9-to-5 life, shopping with her girlfriends after work, watching movies, and occasionally going to a bar.

She rarely goes to barbecue restaurants and food stalls, first, because she thinks the environment is poor and dirty, and second, she doesn't like the lively and noisy atmosphere.

Or, a cat alone in a bachelor apartment, eating pistachios, sitting on the sofa holding a pillow and holding a mobile phone to watch small videos, occasionally turning on the TV is also watching variety shows and chasing Korean dramas.

She rarely watches domestic dramas, whether it is ancient or modern cities.

Exaggerated and contrived.

Recently, though, I was attracted to a TV series.

To be precise, it should be the promotional song "All Night Returnees", which is clean, cool and warm.

The songwriter is Yu Dongqing, and the singer is Xiangjiang star Wu Jingqi.

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

The two teamed up to be a perfect match.

For a period of time, like some watermelon people, Lu Yurong thought that the two had a relationship, but later one married a sister-in-law and the other married a rich man's son, only to know that the two were just pure friends.

With this song, she suddenly became interested and wanted to see this "Late Night Canteen".

The theme song seems to be a bit earthy, but it wasn't as delicate as the ending song.

The first unit is about the chengguan and a proprietress who sells pancakes.

It's real, but she's not very interested.

Because such things are far away from her.

But the second story touched her deeply.

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

The heroine of the story, Su Li, is as gentle and humble as her, and the 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 in the late autumn night.

The dusky hues of the street, the changing light and shadow, Su Li's cheongsam, body line, calves, boss's hair oil, cigarettes and ties are intertwined.

Lu Yurong, who watched it, was fascinated.

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

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

The next day, too, Lu Yurong turned on the TV on time, and "Late Night Canteen" started playing again.

This time it tells the heartwarming story of a middle school girl who meets her at a barbecue.

She suddenly remembered that on the last night of graduating from college, she went to Yuanxi Road to eat rice noodles.

She knew it was the last bowl of rice noodles she had eaten in the city, and the next time she saw her, she would be a passerby. The boss was an aunt who recognized her and said, "Graduated, right?" ”

She nodded.

Auntie smiled and said, "I've eaten my rice noodles for a year and I haven't seen you eat fat, so I'll give you some rice noodles in the last bowl."

There is no smooth sail, no bright future.

When I think about it now, my heart warms.

That's when she suddenly felt.

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

A good man has a safe life.

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

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

couldn't help it, she went on Douban and wrote this text under the many comments of "Late Night Canteen".

There are joys and tears, some fireworks, some humane...

It's not the food or the storyline that touches it, it's the attention that there are still people in this world who care about the joys and sorrows of the little people.

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

The first round of broadcasts of "Late Night Canteen" has ended, and it is said that the other two satellite TVs have bought the rights and are preparing for the second round of broadcasts.

What's even more speculated is whether Yu Dongqing will shoot a second season?

In Yu Dongqing's small courtyard, Li Wan was talking to him about this topic.

The weather was particularly nice today and the sun was warm, so I didn't go to the tea room, but sat in the small courtyard and drank tea and basked in the sun.

"Holly, you've had a great harvest this year." Li Wan said: "The highest rating of "Late Night Canteen" reached 3.1% in the end, creating the highest rating of TV dramas in recent years, and the box office of "The Wandering Earth 2" has now reached 2.8 billion, and it is difficult to break through the first estimate, but it is no problem to estimate 6 billion. ”

"The Wandering Earth 2" was released on Chinese New Year's Eve, and the box office is still hot.

Yu Dongqing smiled when he heard this, and asked rhetorically, "Isn't it your harvest year?" ”

Yes, I admit it. Li Wan smiled and asked again: "Holly, do you plan to film the second season of "Late Night Canteen"?" I'm going to strike while the iron is hot! ”

"Gotta get it. If I shoot again, I will be as fat as Zhang Yang. ”

Listening to Yu Dongqing's words, Li Wan laughed.

Indeed, after filming a food drama, this guy's waist is round, and he was recently forced to lose weight by his daughter-in-law.

"Lao Li, I really don't shoot anymore, I want to retire."

"Retirement?!" Li Wan looked at him with a look of astonishment.

"Well, at most, write more scripts, movies and TV or something, I don't want to shoot it." Yu Dongqing looked at the blue sky and said leisurely. (End of chapter)
