1990: Starting from Baojia Street

Zhou Yan stayed at Yanjing Factory until noon, then stopped by the cafeteria to have a meal.

He had just finished his meal and was about to find a place to sit when he heard someone calling him.

"Old Zhou, this way."

Zhou Yan turned his head and saw Chen Kaige waving to him, so he walked over with a rice tray.

Now in Chen Kaige's mouth, Zhou Yan has been directly upgraded to "Old Zhou".

Zhou Yan sat down opposite Chen Kaige, "Master Kai, why are you in the factory when "Feng Yue" has been filmed?"

"That's right." Chen Kaige laughed and did not continue, and asked Zhou Yan, "What are you doing in the factory today?"

"In terms of shooting equipment, there are still some things that I need to discuss with Director Han. During this period, I come to the factory more frequently than you do."

Chen Kaige nodded, "It took a long time to prepare your movie. It hasn't started filming yet. We are really inseparable."

From what he said, the filming of "Feng Yue" was not ideal.

However, Zhou Yan takes a long time to prepare and is proactive and controllable, unlike Chen Kaige who is forced to stop work every time.

"Should we stay longer when we return to the factory this time?" Zhou Yan asked.

Chen Kaige nodded, "Well, I probably won't be going out for a while. I have time to make a date for a drink. I'm addicted to alcohol during this period, and there's no one to drink with me."

"Your crew drinks a lot, but you still worry about having no one to drink with you?"

"When I'm filming, I don't drink with the actors and delay the filming."

Zhou Yan said with a smile, "Yes, I believe it."

Chen Kaige's words are pure fart. When filming "Farewell My Concubine", Chen Kaige and the actors drank countless times. But generally speaking, when filming, Chen Kaige only has a few drinks and does not drink too much, which naturally does not affect the filming.

There are a lot of people in "Feng Yue" who can drink. If nothing else, Gong Li alone can have a few drinks with Chen Kaige.

The two chatted casually for a few more words, and Chen Kaige said with a smile, "It's been a hard time these past two days. I heard that the box office of "The Sixth Sense" was not very good in North America."

"Well, the box office is really not doing well."

Chen Kaige waved his hand, "Don't be discouraged, it's normal. Those media don't have many good things. When you are good, they will praise you to death, but if something goes wrong, they will start to push you down." Just ignore it and it will be over soon. I’ve been through this before, so I know it very well.”

"Hey, it's okay, I didn't pay much attention to it."

"That's good. I'll plan a game later and call Zhuang Zhuang over to have a drink with you."

"Okay, I'll wait for your news later."

While the two were chatting, Teng Wenji suddenly walked over.

"Hey, Director Chen, Director Zhou, I haven't seen you two in the cafeteria for a long time."

"Director Teng, long time no see." Chen Kaige greeted politely.

Zhou Yan glanced at Teng Wenji and said nothing.

Seeing that Zhou Yan was not looking at him, Teng Wenji squinted his eyes. In just one second, several expressions flashed across his face, and finally a strange smile settled on his face, "Director Zhou is very prosperous now. Yes, I heard that your "The Sixth Sense" was released in North America? It should be doing well at the box office?"

Chen Kaige certainly knew that Teng Wenji had a feud with Zhou Yan. When he saw Teng Wenji coming over just now, he realized that Teng Wenji came with bad intentions. Sure enough, this guy mocked Zhou Yan as soon as he came.

Between Zhou Yan and Teng Wenji, Chen Kaige preferred Zhou Yan, but he was unwilling to offend Teng Wenji because of Zhou Yan, so he just curled his lips and said nothing.

At the same time, Chen Kaige also sighed in his heart, this Teng Wenji really learned a lot from the mistakes. He was so miserable by Zhou Yan before, but now he dared to come and scream in front of Zhou Yan.

Although it's satisfying for the moment to be quick with your words, it won't end well later.

Zhou Yan's current movie is not doing well at the box office in North America. This has no fundamental impact on Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan's relationship within the factory is still strong.

In fact, what Chen Kaige thought of, Teng Wenji could naturally think of, but there was basically no possibility of turning hostility into friendship between him and Zhou Yan, so Teng Wenji would definitely say something bad to Zhou Yan when he got the chance.

And now Zhou Yan is not the only one who has offended him, but also some people from the Film Association, and he is now firmly on the side of these people.

Zhou Yan glanced at Teng Wenji again, "Director Teng is quite concerned about me, but I'm disappointed in you. "The Sixth Sense" did not perform very well at the North American box office."

"I'm not very disappointed, I feel sorry for you..."

Before Teng Wenji finished speaking, Zhou Yan interrupted him with a smile, "Director Teng, I still envy you. You are leisurely and contented every day, and there is no such thing as making a movie to worry you. Otherwise, I can help you contact the factory. Tell me, can I find you a movie? If that doesn’t work, I’m still short of an executive director. Can you help me? I’m so busy every day that I’m really troubled. Why don’t I ask you, an old comrade? Share the residual heat with me."

Zhou Yan looked at Teng Wenji with a "sincere" expression on his face.

These words directly poked Teng Wenji's lungs, making him so angry that his mouth was filled with smoke.

Teng Wenji gritted his teeth and said, "Young man, there is still a long road ahead, but you must be careful. The mountains do not change and the water changes, and the scenery that lasts may not last forever."

Zhou Yan nodded, "Thank you, Director Teng, for reminding me that my road is indeed long, but some people's roads may not be that long."

"Humph."

Teng Wenji threw his arm and left without looking back.

After Teng Wenji had gone a while, Chen Kaige smiled and said, "Fortunately, he has already eaten."

"What do you mean?"

"If I haven't eaten, I will be so angry that I can't eat anymore."

"I just told the truth." Zhou Yan spread his hands and said.

"It's the truth that hurts people. You're really cruel. He hasn't filmed for a long time. I heard that when his projects were submitted, they would be delayed for a month, revised for a month, reviewed for a month, and finally he was beaten. Come back. It’s enough to do it two or three times a year.”

Zhou Yan shrugged, "This has nothing to do with me. Now that the factory is undergoing reforms, ordinary projects are not given, as you know. If it weren't for Tomson's investment, we might not have projects now."

"Yes, I believe it."

Chen Kaige returned what Zhou Yan had just said to Zhou Yan, and there was a look of complete disbelief on his face.

When Chen Zhigu was in charge, although Teng Wenji was made things difficult, it was only delayed, and there was still hope.

But after Han Sanping came to the factory, Teng Wenji not only didn't have any filming, but also didn't ask him to participate in any meetings, which directly marginalized him.

Teng Wenji had made some plans before and said that he would be seconded to Chang'an Studio, but this matter was suppressed by Han Sanping.

Now Teng Wenji could not be beaten or evaded, and was firmly nailed to the Yanjing Factory.

Everyone in the factory knows that Zhou Yan has a good relationship with Han Sanping.

Although everyone doesn't understand the relationship between Zhou Yan and Han Sanping, Han Sanping is very kind to Zhou Yan. Basically, Han Sanping tries his best to satisfy Zhou Yan's request.

The offices in the factory are so tense, but the crew of "The Sixth Sense" wanted an office, and Han Sanping immediately provided one.

Han Sanping was trying to mess with Teng Wenji so much, no one would believe him if he said it had nothing to do with Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan smiled, did not talk about this topic, and turned to other things.

……

After lunch, Zhou Yan went to the studio.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, there was a knock on the office door.

Zhou Yan was looking at the homework submitted by the students when he heard a knock on the door and shouted without raising his head, "Come in."

The door opened and closed again, very gently, but the other party did not speak.

After hearing no sound for a long time, Zhou Yan raised his head and saw Chen Hong looking at him with a smile.

Chen Hong wore an A-line version of a long suede coat today. The garment was cut in a spliced ​​style and her waistline was deliberately left out, making her figure look particularly slender and slender.

Coupled with the same-color pin hat on the head, the overall outfit exudes a European and American retro atmosphere.

Although Chen Hong is a typical oriental beauty, she looks really good with this outfit.

Seeing a flash of surprise in Zhou Yan's eyes, Chen Hong was a little proud. Because she was going to see Zhou Yan today, she specially chose this outfit.

Zhou Yan said with a smile, "Why don't you say anything?"

Chen Hong walked slowly to the desk, half-leaning on the edge of the desk, allowing her body curves to stretch further.

"I see that you work very seriously, and I'm afraid of disturbing you."

"Is the filming finished?"

"Well, the filming is finished. It was actually finished a long time ago, but after the Panasonic commercial came out, the director insisted on giving me more shots. Maybe he felt that it would be a loss if he didn't let me take more shots."

"So you blame me for increasing your workload?"

"Well, you should be blamed."

"If you have to blame me for this, then you will still have a lot to blame me for in the future. This advertisement has received a good response from Neon, and you may receive a lot of advertising jobs in the future."

Chen Hong pursed her lips and said, "I won't accept the advertisement if it's not yours."

"Then you won't be able to receive ads for a while."

"The commercials shot by other people are not good-looking." Chen Hong stared at Zhou Yan's face, and then laughed, "You are in good condition. I thought the box office of "The Sixth Sense" was not good. You will Got hit."

"Do you think I'm a young guy who just debuted? This thing won't shock me."

Chen Hong laughed out loud, "Aren't you a young man? You sound like you are very old."

"Did you come back specifically to comfort me?"

Chen Hong curled her lips and said, "You have a beautiful idea. I mainly came to see Sister Xin and stopped by to see you."

Zhou Yan rubbed his sore shoulders, "It seems that Hong Guantou still has more face."

Chen Hong walked up behind Zhou Yan and gently squeezed Zhou Yan's shoulders. She was not very strong, but it still relieved Zhou Yan's fatigue a lot.

Zhou Yan gently held Chen Hong's hand, and Chen Hong leaned down and whispered in Zhou Yan's ear, "Do you miss me?"

Chen Hong's body exudes a mild aroma, like some kind of lighter perfume mixed with the smell of shampoo. It is not aggressive, but the smell is very addictive.

This smell is unique to Chen Hong, and Zhou Yan has smelled it before.

When he smells this fragrance again, many past scenes will appear in Zhou Yan's mind, including their embrace at the Yinchuan Stadium, and the previous passionate kiss.

Zhou Yan heard a saying that the memory of smell is more durable and stable than the memory of hearing and vision.

Zhou Yan has not verified this statement, but he thinks it makes sense. Whether it is Chen Hong, Kudo Shizuka, or Wang Zuxian, they all have a special smell, and their smells are deeply imprinted in Zhou Yan's mind. middle.

Zhou Yan did not answer Chen Hong's question, but turned around and kissed Chen Hong.

At first, Zhou Yan took the initiative to kiss her, but soon, Chen Hong turned from defense to offense and directly hugged Zhou Yan's neck.

Zhou Yansu took advantage of the situation and turned the chair around, then held Chen Hong on his lap. The chair was of good quality and could bear the weight of two people without making any abnormal noise.

As they kissed, Zhou Yan's hands became dishonest again and began to fumble for gaps. However, Chen Hong's coat was so tight that except for the bottom of the skirt, there was no place where he could reach in, and he couldn't even find the buttons.

This outfit looks good, but it's not very convenient.

Chen Hong felt that Zhou Yan was dishonest, and immediately jumped out of his arms and said with a smile, "You are dishonest again."

Zhou Yan said in a serious tone, "I mainly want to study the structure of your skirt. I have no other ideas. To be honest, I had a dream when I was a child, which was to become a fashion designer when I grow up."

Chen Hong rolled her eyes, "Why haven't I noticed before that you're always talking about cheating? If you really want to study this dress, I'll buy one for you later."

"What a waste."

Chen Hong went to the sofa and sat down. While applying lipstick, she said, "New Year's Eve is coming in two days. Are you busy?"

"It's not that busy, but the school has a New Year's Eve party and the band is performing. I will definitely attend."

When she heard that Yangyin had a New Year's Eve performance, Chen Hong's eyes lit up, "Take me with you, I want to go to the performance too."

Zhou Yan nodded, "No problem, I'll ask them to leave a ticket for you, but how are you going to get there?"

"How to get there, what do you mean?"

"Are you going to go quietly or as an actor? If it's the latter, I guess the school leaders will have to meet and talk to you. Moreover, as a distinguished guest, you will definitely be seated at the front. "

Chen Hong thought for a while and said, "Then I'd better go quietly."

"Well, yes."

Chen Hong finished her lip makeup and stood up, "I won't tell you anymore, I'm going to find Sister Xin."

Zhou Yan said with a smile, "Didn't you come to see me by the way? Why haven't you gone to see Hong Guantou yet?"

"You're on your way here." Then Chen Hong pointed at Zhou Yan's mouth, "Remember to wipe your mouth."

After saying that, Chen Hong left.

After she left, Zhou Yan went to the noodle stand and took a look. There was lipstick on his lips.

Zhou Yan originally thought that Chen Hong would come back after meeting Hong Xin, but he didn't see her for a long time. Later he learned that Chen Hong went shopping with Hong Xin.

In the next two days, Zhou Yan didn't see Chen Hong. This girl came to tease Zhou Yan and then disappeared. (End of chapter)
