1990: Starting from Baojia Street

"The Sixth Sense" did very well at the box office in Hong Kong, but it quickly hit its ceiling.

In the first three weeks, the box office exceeded 20 million Hong Kong dollars in sixteen and a half days, but by the third week, the momentum dropped a lot.

Xiangjiang is a very realistic place. Except for a few movies, most movies are about to end by this time.

"The Sixth Sense" is no surprise. Although the movie's reputation is very good, the box office cannot be as big a hit as the movies of Zhou Xingchi and Zhou Yunfa. Basically, it is only in the range of more than 20 million.

However, Tomson is very satisfied with the current results. The investment cost of this movie was less than 20 million yuan, and it has received more than 20 million yuan in box office in Hong Kong alone. It is undoubtedly a bloody profit.

And now the momentum is just declining. There are still more than ten days of release time, and the box office will definitely increase. It should eventually exceed 25 million Hong Kong dollars.

The mainland box office has not been calculated, but there is no problem if it exceeds 30 million.

The two ticket warehouses took over 50 million, and anyone who saw it would be jealous.

The key point is that the biggest box office of "The Sixth Sense" is not the Mainland and Hong Kong. The neon box office of the main battlefield is so powerful that people don't care about the box office of Hong Kong and Mainland.

The exchange rate of neon coins against the US dollar has continued to rise in recent years, and now one US dollar can be exchanged for less than one hundred neon coins.

If the ration of "The Sixth Sense" can reach 16.7 billion neon coins, the box office will be around 3 billion neon coins. In U.S. dollars, it will exceed 30 million U.S. dollars. "The Sixth Sense" alone will be in Neon's The box office revenue exceeded the global box office revenue of "Farewell My Concubine".

Now it's not just Tomson who is paying attention to the box office performance of "The Sixth Sense" at Neon. Industry insiders from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places are also paying attention to the performance of "The Sixth Sense".

Before "The Sixth Sense", the Chinese-language film that performed best at the Neon box office was "Plan A", which received a ration of 16.9 billion at Neon.

If "The Sixth Sense" can reach 1.7 billion neon coins at the neon box office, it will be able to break this record that has been dusty for ten years.

……

At the entrance of a cinema in Tokyo, two Chinese people looked at the pedestrians coming and going. The young man carrying a camera asked, "Brother Huaichang, what kind of interview target are we looking for?"

Qiu Huaichang held a lollipop in his mouth and said, "When the next show of "The Sixth Sense" ends, I'll catch a pretty girl like that for an interview."

"Can't we all interview female fans?"

"Of course male movie fans also need to be interviewed, but don't rush. We'll take photos of all the female movie fans first."

"Oh." The photography club looked at their watch, "The show will be over soon."

Qiu Huaichang nodded and said, "Let's just wait."

About ten minutes later, moviegoers who had finished the movie came out of the theater. The two of them searched among the crowd. Qiu Huaichang quickly located his target and walked up.

When he arrived in front of the two girls, Qiu Huaichang said in neon language, "Ladies, we are reporters from China Yanjing TV Station. Can we ask you a few questions?"

Hearing that they were reporters from a Chinese TV station, the two girls were quite curious and nodded, "Of course there is no question. What do you want to ask?"

"Did you just watch the movie "The Sixth Sense"?"

"Yes." One of the girls nodded, and before Qiu Huaichang could ask further questions, she continued, "This movie is very beautiful, Wang Zuxian is very beautiful, the male protagonist is also very charming, and there is also an actor who plays the little boy. , also performed very well.”

Qiu Huaichang was very happy when the girl praised the movie and asked, "Why did you watch this movie?"

“My classmates recommended it to us, so we came here.”

"Have you seen director Zhou Yan's movies before?"

"No, but we have listened to his music. I even bought "Mysterious Country". I didn't know he made movies before."

"If the full score is ten points, how many points would you give?"

"I give it ten points. It is indeed a very good movie." A girl said.

"I give it nine points. One point was deducted because I didn't see Zhou Yan inside." Another girl said.

This is enough for them to ask, they need to quickly shoot more other material.

"Thank you both for your cooperation. These interviews will be broadcast on TV later. Do you have any objections?"

"No, I hope the movie will get better and better, come on."

After the two girls left, Qiu Huaichang and the others went to look for other targets, but before they found the target, another target came to their door.

It was a girl wearing a bowler hat and sunglasses. The girl walked up to them and asked, "Are you a reporter from a Chinese TV station?"

Qiu Huaichang looked at the woman in front of him. Because of the sunglasses and hat, he couldn't see her face clearly, but she gave the impression that she was a beautiful woman.

"Yes, we are reporters from China Yanjing TV. We are here to interview viewers who have watched "The Sixth Sense."" Qiu Huaichang nodded.

The girl volunteered, "You can interview me. I've watched this movie twice."

"Of course." Qiu Huaichang laughed, "Since you've seen it twice, you should like this movie very much, right?"

The girl nodded heavily, "Of course I like it very much. I especially admire Zhou Yan's talent. If I have time later, I will watch it a third time."

Qiu Huaichang raised his eyebrows. This was when he met Zhou Yan's loyal movie fan.

"Have you seen Zhou Yan's last movie?"

"Yes, I have seen it, but I didn't go to the cinema to watch it at the time. I watched it at home later. I first listened to the music album "Piano Boy" and then started to pay attention to him. The last time he came to Neon for a concert, I We even went to the scene to meet him.”

Hearing the girl's answer, Qiu Huaichang secretly gave a thumbs up in his heart. Good guy, this girl is Zhou Yan's senior music and movie fan.

But Qiu Huaichang is not surprised, because there must be many girls in Neon who are similar to this girl, or even more addicted than her.

Now Zhou Yan's popularity in Neon is really outrageous. A musician has squeezed into the foreign male celebrity popularity rankings. This is an outrageous thing in itself. Moreover, Qiu Huaichang feels that after Zhou Yan held a concert at the end of last year, this year he The ranking will continue to rise.

"If it's out of ten, how many points would you give this movie?" Qiu Huaichang asked.

"Unconditionally." The girl said with a smile, "I will always support Zhou Yan."

"Zhou Yan will definitely be very happy to see a fan like you."

"Will Zhou Yan see your show?"

"It should be so. Zhou Yan himself is in Yanjing and has a good relationship with our TV station. "Memory of the Forbidden City" was originally from a promotional film "Forbidden City: Memory", and this promotional film was produced by our TV station." Qiu Huaichang I couldn't help but place an advertisement for their TV station.

"Is that so? I will go to Yanjing next month. Can I visit your TV station then?"

"This...if you want to go in and visit, you still need to apply in advance."

"No problem, I will apply in advance." Smiling, the girl waved her hand, "I'm leaving first. I wish you good luck with the interview."

Qiu Huaichang also waved, "Well, goodbye, and I wish you a happy life."

After the girl left, the photographer said, "What a coincidence, this girl is going to Yanjing next month."

Qiu Huaichang smiled and shook his head, "Who knows whether it's true or not? She said she would apply in advance, but she didn't let me apply for her, and she didn't ask me how to apply. Maybe she was just being polite."

"I thought Neon people were very straight-forward people and wouldn't tell lies like this."

Qiu Huaichang curled his lips, "It's the same everywhere."

"The Sixth Sense" has become a hit recently, and Yanjing TV wants to make a special program to follow up on "The Sixth Sense"'s Neon box office success, and film some clips that can reflect Zhou Yan's influence in Neon.

Qiu Huaichang had studied abroad in Neon for two years and knew the Neon language, so Taipei sent him here.

He had understood clearly during the time he spent in Neon that although Neon people looked different from Chinese people at first glance, they were actually the same in nature, and there were all kinds of people here in Neon.

But whether what the girl said was true or false had nothing to do with them. He would be satisfied if he could get good footage.

"Let's go and find other interview targets. We will go to the Shiseido Hall to shoot the big screen later."

That big screen has now become a small attraction, and they must be taking pictures when they come here this time.

……

Zhou Yan was awakened.

After waking up, he took off his headphones and heard the flight attendant on the plane say, "We've arrived in Yinchuan."

Zhou Yan stretched his head to look out the porthole and saw that the track was filled with dirt and gravel. No wonder it was so bumpy.

If it weren't for the fact that he could see the wings of the plane, Zhou Yan would have doubted whether he was sitting on a bus traveling on a country road.

In fact, the plane he took was not even as good as a bus. Apart from the crew, there were only twenty-one passengers on the entire plane. It was not that no one bought tickets, but that the plane could only carry so many people.

The airport in Yinchuan is one of the worst that Zhou Yan has ever seen. Except for the apron, which is made of cement, the rest of the airport is filled with dirt roads.

Before this, Zhou Yan had never seen an airport whose runway was paved with gravel. It was worse than the roads in many villages. It was also difficult to take off and land large aircraft on such a runway.

Next to the tarmac, there is a bungalow, which is the airport waiting room.

This bungalow looked very small from the plane. When Zhou Yan got off the plane and walked to the side to take a look... he found that it was indeed not big. It was estimated that it was about the same size as the courtyard where Zhou Yan lived.

There was no need to go to the arrival hall. As soon as Zhou Yan got off the plane, he saw Jiang Mengfei standing outside the fence waving to him.

Zhou Yan carried a backpack and a box and walked towards Jiang Mengfei. The fence was just a decoration and could not stop anything. Zhou Yan went out directly through the gap on the side.

Jiang Mengfei took the box from Zhou Yan's hand and pointed to the car parked not far away, "That's our car."

Zhou Yan nodded and followed Jiang Mengfei.

"How are you on the road? This small plane is uncomfortable."

“It’s okay, better than taking the bus.”

"It's been fine recently, but if it was March or April, I wouldn't be able to fly. Every March and April, the place will be muddy and then shut down. After a while, if it rains a lot, there will still be water accumulation here."

"How far is it from Zhenbei Fort?"

"The straight-line distance is more than ten kilometers, and it can be reached in more than half an hour."

"Then let's leave quickly."

The location of the airport was quite remote, but they were getting further and further away, and the terrain here was relatively flat. They saw it from a distance before they even reached Zhenbei Castle.

Zhenbeibao was a border defense fortress built in the Ming Dynasty. Zhang Xianliang, who later went to work for the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, introduced Zhenbeibao to the film crew of "One and Eight". That was the first time Zhenbeibao got an electric shock.

Since then, more and more movies have been filmed here. Last year, Zhang Xianliang opened a movie studio here in Zhenbeibao.

Because of the arrival of the cast of "Westward Journey", Zhenbeibao is quite lively now.

Although they were not filming at the moment, most of the people on site were wearing costumes, so when the car drove in, it felt like they had traveled through time.

Their car stopped in front of a small mud house. As soon as Zhou Yan got out of the car, Yang Guohui walked over with a smile.

"Director Zhou, we have been looking forward to your coming."

Compared with the last time we met, Yang Guohui's attitude is more enthusiastic now. The box office performance of "The Sixth Sense" is really good.

As the boss of a film company, Yang Guohui naturally drooled when he saw a director like Zhou Yan who could make crazy money.

Although he didn't say it, he also had an idea in his mind. If there was an opportunity later, he could invite Zhou Yan to cooperate in filming and set up Caixing Company. It was mainly to film for Zhou Xingchi, but if he wanted to develop and grow, he would definitely need to cooperate with other people.

Besides, you can also ask Zhou Yan to be the director and Zhou Xingchi to be the protagonist, just like Liu Zhenwei was hired this time.

Zhou Yan replied politely, "Mr. Yang, I'm sorry, I'm really busy, otherwise I would have come here long ago."

"It's because we didn't provide good hospitality. I should have picked you up at the airport in person. The sun is shining brightly outside, so let's go into the room and chat. Xingzai and Director Liu are both inside."

Zhou Yan nodded and followed Yang Guohui into the house.

In the room, Zhou Xingchi and Liu Zhenwei were arguing fiercely in Cantonese, and Zhou Yan could probably understand it.

They were discussing the role of Patriarch Bodhi. It seemed that because Stephen Chow and the actors kept speaking Cantonese on the set, the shots were not ideal.

Liu Zhenwei means that for the sake of the movie, Zhou Xingchi should try his best to use Mandarin when he plays opposite Jia Zhaoji, who plays the role of Patriarch Bodhi.

"You know Mandarin, but you don't speak it very well, but others don't know it at all and can't understand it."

Zhou Xingchi believes that if he talks in Mandarin, his performance status will be greatly compromised. Moreover, he was in a hurry at the scene and had no way to communicate normally with people in Mandarin.

Seeing Zhou Yan, Liu Zhenwei seemed to have seen his savior, "Director Zhou."

Zhou Xingchi also turned around and said in Mandarin, "Director Zhou, you are here."

Liu Zhenwei said immediately, "Look, can't you speak well?"

"This is different from the scene." Zhou Xingchi retorted.

"I don't think there's any difference. Could you please stop being so selfish?"

Zhou Yan was stunned for a moment, wondering if Liu Zhenwei's words were a bit harsh, and he was still in front of him.

Sure enough, Zhou Xingchi couldn't stand this anger, waved his hand and said almost half-shouting, "I won't change anyway!"

Liu Zhenwei was also very angry, but he did not continue to escalate the conflict. He temporarily stopped arguing with Zhou Xingchi and said to Zhou Yan with a smile, "Director Zhou must be very tired along the way."

"It's okay, it's not that far."

Zhou Xingchi couldn't hold back his anger at the moment, but it was hard to explode in front of Zhou Yan. He forced a smile to Zhou Yan and said, "Director Zhou, there is something going on over there in Mingcheng. You can chat with them for a while first."

"It's okay, just go and do your work."

Zhou Xingchi nodded and left.

Yang Guohui told Zhou Yan and followed Zhou Xingchi out.

After they left, Liu Zhenwei took out the cigarette case from his pocket, took out a cigarette and lit it, then he remembered to give one to Zhou Yan.

"Director Liu, I don't smoke." Liu Zhenwei took back the cigarette case, took two puffs, and then said, "Jia Zhaoji is a good actor. I really don't want to replace him."

Zhou Yan knew Jia Zhaoji, who was also an actor in Chang'an Factory. He had previously played the role of a butcher shop boy in "Red Sorghum". He was an actor with quite a sense of humor.

Zhou Yan did not express an opinion, but looked at the house where he was.

This room is very simple, with only a bed, a table and four benches.

But it can be seen that Liu Zhenwei and the others should often work here, and there is a lot of information on the table.

Seeing that Zhou Yan didn't speak, Liu Zhenwei was quite surprised. He said this because he was holding back his breath, and at the same time he wanted Zhou Yan to speak for him.

In his opinion, Zhou Yan should speak to Jia Zhaoji. After all, Jia Zhaoji is a mainland actor, and if he wants to change now, he will be an actor from Hong Kong.

Moreover, Zhou Xingchi would most likely listen to what Zhou Yan said. Otherwise, Zhou Xingchi would not always speak Mandarin to Zhou Yan.

But if Zhou Yan didn't pick up the fight, there was nothing he could do.

So he changed the topic again, "I heard that "The Sixth Sense" performed very well at the box office in Hong Kong and Neon. Congratulations."

"It's pretty good in Neon, but in Xiangjiang, I can only say it's average."

The movie has been released in Hong Kong for almost a month, but the box office has only just exceeded 25 million, which can only be said to be pretty good.

People's ideas will change over time. If there were no box office as high as Neon, Xiangjiang's 25 million box office would definitely look good, but compared with Neon's box office, it would feel much less.

Before the movie was released, Xu Feng said that all she needed was a few million box office, but now she wishes she could have 40 to 50 million.

"How long can Director Zhou stay in Yinchuan this time?"

"A week, maybe. I won't be able to stay for too long. How is Zhao Ku's performance on site?"

"It's pretty good. Every day during filming, he would write and draw in his notebook on set. I don't know much about the soundtrack, so I didn't read what he wrote."

"He's writing a team diary. It's nothing special." Zhou Yan smiled, and then talked about work, "There must have been changes in your scripts recently. Can I see the latest script?"

"Okay, I'm here to show you." Liu Zhenwei put out his cigarette, searched among the pile of documents on the table, and searched here and there to piece together a script, "This is probably the complete script. "

Zhou Yan took the script and looked at it. This version was indeed much richer than the previous one, and gradually became like a normal script. However, some of the lines in it seemed different from what Zhou Yan had read.

This is normal, it’s not that world anymore, and naturally it can’t all be the same.

After reading the script, Zhou Yan asked again, "Do you have a shooting schedule for this week?"

"That's really not the case. I can't push forward my plans these days, and I'm just worried about Patriarch Bodhi. If it doesn't work, I can only replace him."

Liu Zhenwei knew that with Zhou Xingchi's character, the possibility of him changing was relatively small.

Since Zhou Xingchi cannot be changed, then Jia Zhaoji can only be replaced. However, it is difficult to find an actor now.

When Zhou Yan asked about the schedule, he also wanted to take a look at recent scenes on the set, but it didn't matter if he didn't have one. He didn't have to look for inspiration on set.

After chatting with Liu Zhenwei for a while, Zhou Yan stood up and said, "I'm going to hang out on the set."

"I'll accompany you."

"No, Director Liu, you should be busy with your own business. You still have to worry about the actors."

"Okay then, let's have dinner together tonight."

"Ah."

After leaving the room, Jiang Mengfei had already driven away.

Zhou Yan didn't go looking for Jiang Mengfei, and just walked around alone in Zhenbei Fort.

He didn't take two steps when someone greeted him.

"Guide Zhou."

Zhou Yan looked at the person in front of him. He was Lao Cao, a martial arts fighter from Chang'an Factory.

He smiled and said, "Old Cao, this is a good outfit."

Lao Cao wore bandit clothes and looked quite tough. He touched his head and said, "Director Zhou is ridiculous, you just arrived today."

"Well, I just arrived and was going to walk around the set. Do you know where Lu Shuming is?"

"I just came from the north gate and saw him over there."

"Oh, thank you."

After saying goodbye to Lao Cao, Zhou Yan walked towards the north gate.

When he arrived at the north gate, Zhou Yan saw Lu Shuming sitting at the city gate, staring into the distance in a daze under the bright sun.

Zhou Yan stood in the shadow of the city gate, pinched his waist and shouted upwards, "Hey, what are you looking at above?"

When he heard someone calling him, Lu Shuming was a little confused at first. When he turned around, he saw Zhou Yan standing below with a bright smile on his face.

"Brother Zhou, you are here."

After that, he immediately made a move to jump down from the city gate tower.

Zhou Yan was startled, "Oh, don't-"

Lu Shuming's movements suddenly stopped and he chuckled, "I'm just teasing you, let's see how scared you are."

Zhou Yan rolled his eyes, "I'm afraid you really think of yourself as Guan Yu."

"Haha, Guan Yu won't be able to fall well if he jumps from here."

As he spoke, Lu Shuming strode down the stairs next to him.

When he arrived, Zhou Yan joked, "It's such a hot day, why don't you go up there and bask in the sun."

Lu Shuming sighed slightly, "Just keep it clean up there."

Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Zhou Yan asked doubtfully, "What trouble did you encounter while filming?"

"It's more than just trouble." Lu Shuming sat down on the stone pillar next to him, "I was deceived by them."

"How do you say this?"

"Before I came here, I didn't know that playing the role of the Bull Demon King required a big bull's head, covered with cow hair, and you couldn't see my face at all."

Zhou Yan said strangely, "They didn't tell you."

"Tell me, can I come?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yan frowned. Caixing didn't do this properly. Of course, Lu Shuming wasn't vigilant enough either.

This kind of thing actually happens often in Xiangjiang. Lu Shuming is considered good. If he were to meet Wong Kar-Wai, he would probably be angry.

Previously, Wong Kar-wai invited Tony Leung to film "Happy Together". As soon as Tony Leung saw the script, he was unwilling to engage in homosexuality. Later, Wong Kar-wai gave him another script. When he saw the second script, Tony Leung felt that it was pretty good. agreed.

But after Tony Leung flew to Argentina, he discovered that the script was still "Happy Together" and he had no choice but to give in.

"If you really don't want to play this role, let me help you."

Lu Shuming shook his head, "Forget it, the contract has been signed, let's just act. In fact, although I am not happy about this, it is just like that. The main reason is that Zhou Xingchi and others always speak Cantonese at the scene, which sounds like a book from heaven to me. Yeah, I can’t even understand the acting.”

Zhou Yan pondered. The problem with this crew was more serious than he expected. He originally thought that Lu Shuming had just played Guan Yu and would be doing well in the crew, but he didn't expect that the situation would be the same.

From Zhou Yan's point of view, Zhou Xingchi definitely didn't mean to make things difficult for Lu Shuming and the others, but this guy had a really bad temper. Some people said he was a tyrant on the set, which was true at all.

Compared to Zhou Xingchi, Liu Zhenwei is much gentler.

If Zhou Xingchi was just the leading actor, that would be fine. Even if he quarreled with the director, he would be able to tolerate it. But he is the producer of this movie, and Liu Zhenwei can't suppress him at all.

Zhou Yan patted Lu Shuming on the shoulder, "Don't think about it, let's have dinner together tonight."

"Are we two?"

"Director Liu and the others are also here."

"Then I won't go."

Seeing Lu Shuming frowning, Zhou Yan didn't try to persuade him anymore, "Okay, I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow night, and then I'll invite some friends from the mainland."

"That's no problem."

The two chatted for more than half an hour under the city gate building, and Lu Shuming took Zhou Yan around the set again.

Most of the mainland staff who come to the set know Zhou Yan. Although the staff here in Xiangjiang are not familiar with Zhou Yan, many of them recognize his face, so people are always saying hello to him on the road.

After walking around the set, Zhou Yan returned to the cabin just now, preparing to go out for dinner with Liu Zhenwei and the others, but Liu Zhenwei said to him very apologetically, "Director Zhou, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat this meal tonight. I have made a temporary decision to shoot "Supreme" tomorrow. The wedding scene between Bao and Niu Xiangxiang will be very busy tonight."

Hearing the news, Zhou Yan was surprised, "A sudden decision?"

"It's not too sudden. I had this idea before, but now I have no choice."

Zhou Yan didn't understand why there was nothing he could do.

The marriage scene between Zhizunbao and Niu Xiangxiang is definitely one of the most important scenes in the movie. It is a big scene, how could it be filmed suddenly?

The scenery of the scene, the makeup of the actors and the scheduling of all aspects are now suddenly activated. Isn't this torture?

If it's just because Bodhi Patriarch's actors need to be replaced and other scenes are shot temporarily, they also have many choices. They can just find some less difficult scenes to make the transition.

But the director had already decided, and Zhou Yan couldn't comment. He could only say, "It doesn't matter. You can eat at any time. You are busy with work."

"Thank you for your understanding."

Afterwards, starting in the evening, Zhou Yan saw the entire crew mobilizing and starting to prepare for tomorrow's scene.

The staff responsible for the scenery are the most tired. They will start working tonight and may have to stay up all night.

Early tomorrow morning, the makeup team will also start preparations early to put makeup on the actors.

Zhou Yan ignored them and went to find Zhao Zhang himself and chatted about the recent filming situation of the crew. In fact, there was nothing to talk about, because not many scenes were completed not long after the filming started.

Through chatting with Zhao Zhang, Zhou Yan also roughly knew why he suddenly wanted to film the marriage scene between Zhizunbao and Niu Xiangxiang.

Because apart from the scenes before "Moonlight Box", this scene is the most perfectly written and has the best conditions for filming.

If you want to skip the scene of Patriarch Bodhi and put the marriage scene directly in front, that is indeed an option.

This scene definitely couldn't be shot in one day, and it was just a little time to change the actors.

The next morning, Zhou Yan went to the set. All the actors on set had already put on makeup, including the Bull Demon King.

This shows that they should have started working before dawn.

Zhou Yan met Hong Xin and Lin Juan. Both of them were listless and obviously very tired.

There are many people in the makeup team, but the intensity of the makeup for this scene is really too strong.

Not only Hong Xin and the others were tired, but the crew members who made the scenery were also tired. It was only the morning, and many people's clothes were already soaked with sweat.

Although they were very tired, Hong Xin and Lin Juan were still very happy to see Zhou Yan. They asked him about this and that, especially caring about the box office of "The Sixth Sense".

They also participated in "The Sixth Sense", so of course they were very proud to hear that it did well at the box office.

Until nine o'clock in the morning, Zhou Xingchi and Liu Zhenwei began to tell the main actors about the play.

Luk Shu Ming and the others were right. Stephen Chow did speak Cantonese throughout the whole process. Not only him, but other actors in Hong Kong also spoke Cantonese.

In fact, there are quite a few mainland actors in this scene. Niu Demon King, Niu Xiangxiang and Mrs. Niu are all from the mainland.

It can be clearly seen that Lu Shuming and Chen Hong were a little confused when they listened to Zhou Xingchi's speech.

Seeing this situation, Zhou Yan was also quite puzzled. In fact, there was no need for this at all.

Zhou Yan slowly walked over and asked from the side, "Director Zhou, Director Liu, can I listen to your drama?"

Liu Zhenwei nodded and said, "Of course, no problem."

Zhou Xingchi also nodded and continued to tell them about the play, but when he was halfway through, Zhou Yan said again, "Director Zhou, could you please speak slower? My Cantonese is not very good, so I can't understand clearly."

As soon as he said these words, the scene suddenly became quiet. Everyone looked at him with various expressions.

In this case, several mainland actors have told Zhou Xingchi and others, but they have never listened.

Some staff in Xiangjiang are watching the show. They don't think Zhou Xingchi can change because of Zhou Yan.

Yang Guohui was a little nervous next to him. The situation he was most afraid of appeared. They could ignore other mainland actors or staff, but they couldn't ignore Zhou Yan's words.

Zhou Xingchi pursed his lips and said nothing. Zhou Yan smiled again and said, "Director Liu's Mandarin is pretty good. Would you like Director Liu to translate it for me? I also want to know more about your filming process and find inspiration for the soundtrack. I'm so confused now." Yes, it had an impact on the later soundtrack.”

Liu Zhenwei looked at Zhou Xingchi and was about to speak, but heard Zhou Xingchi speak first in Mandarin, "No, I'll speak it slowly in Mandarin. My Chinese is not very good. If there is something I don't understand clearly, you must remind me." ."

"Thank you, Director Zhou, for your understanding. Such a big scene is not easy for everyone. We must want to have a better final effect."

Then Zhou Yan looked at Lu Shuming and the others, and said righteously, "Second brother, Chen Hong, you are the same. Since you know that you are going to join Director Zhou and Director Liu's crew, you should learn some Cantonese in advance to facilitate communication. Well. That means Director Zhou has a big style, otherwise it would be difficult to film this scene."

Zhou Xingchi waved his hand, "It's okay. They can't learn it now. I'll try my best to use Mandarin."

"Okay, director Zhou, you can continue. I happened to write a piece of music two days ago. After today's filming is over, I'll play it for you."

When he heard that Zhou Yan had written a piece of music, Zhou Xingchi's eyes lit up, "Okay, let's just call it a day and listen to it." (End of Chapter)
