1990: Starting from Baojia Street

Some people say that "Story of Princesses 1" is a heterosexual film disguised as a homosexual film, from which Chen Kexin's homophobia can be seen, while "Story of Princesses 2" is the opposite, it is more like a homosexual film disguised as a heterosexual film, and Chen Kexin's homophobia is fading.

But compared to those films that truly explore homosexuality, both "Story of Princesses" films are clearly not in-depth enough.

Perhaps Chen Kexin wants to explore something in depth on the subject of homosexuality, but is somewhat hesitant. Or perhaps Chen Kexin wants to explore, but is not prepared because he himself has not had an in-depth understanding of the subject.

In recent years, there has been more and more discussion about homosexuality, and many films on such themes have won awards, causing some directors to deliberately cater to the trend and shoot similar films.

Zhou Yan is not saying that Chen Kexin shoots this kind of subject matter just to win awards, but the environment itself will affect the creator's ideas.

After the movie ended, the three did not leave in a hurry. They waited until the other two couples left before they got up.

"I thought the story of "Story of Princesses 1" had been filmed and there was nothing to shoot in the second part. I didn't expect the second part to be so good. It exceeded my expectations." Chen Derong said with a smile.

Joey Wong nodded and joked, "Maybe the third part will be about Fang Yanmei meeting another girl she likes while traveling outside."

"That's interesting too."

Zhou Yan also laughed. It turned out that Wang Zuxian's idea was quite interesting and logical, or in other words, in line with the routine.

In fact, the routines of these two "Stormy Girls" dramas are similar.

In the first part, the main story is that the gold medal music producer Gu Jiaming falls in love with Lin Ziying who is dressed as a woman, and the female singer Rose played by Carina Lau also falls in love with Lin Ziying.

In the second part, the returning superstar Fang Yanmei replaced the role of Rose and fell in love with Lin Ziying.

Both movies are about an alternative love triangle between two women and one man.

However, although the core routine is the same, there is some advancement in the attempts between same-sex people. In the second part, even after Fang Yanmei found out that Lin Ziying was a girl, she still liked her.

Fang Yanmei's feelings for Lin Ziying are obviously different from Rose's feelings for Lin Ziying in the first film.

So in the third part, does it have to be advanced? Fang Yanmei has a real love affair with a girl?

If we shoot it this way, it will become a trilogy.

It can be seen that the two girls quite like this movie and have been discussing the plot. Chen Derong even said that she also wants to try out the role of Lin Ziying.

But to be honest, Chen Derong is not very suitable to play Lin Ziying.

Chen Kexin did not make random casting choices. Anita Yuen, who played Lam Chi-ying, had a face shape that was quite suitable for short hair. When she had short hair, she looked like a little boy.

Like a boy, but very beautiful.

But with Chen Derong's bone structure, she won't have this feeling if she keeps her hair too short.

It was almost one o'clock in the afternoon when the three of them walked out of the theater.

This is also why there were so few people watching the 11 o'clock show, because the show was so awkward that they missed dinner time after watching it.

But the three of them were not in a hurry because they had eaten breakfast quite late and were not very hungry. It would be nice to wander around and find a place to eat after watching the movie.

"Where are we going to eat later? I remember..."

After leaving the theater, Chen Derong was about to talk about dinner when two girls suddenly came over with their hands covering their mouths in surprise, "Rongrong."

The sound of Rongrong scared Chen Derong. She quickly touched her ear and found that she didn't even wear sunglasses when she came out.

But she reacted quickly, and a smile immediately appeared on her face, "Hello."

"Wow, it's really you."

When the two girls saw Chen Derong, they couldn't believe it at first. But after seeing her response, they were sure it was her, and the expressions on their faces became even more surprised.

One of the girls couldn't help but look at Zhou Yan and Wang Zuxian who were wearing sunglasses next to them. The people around the stars are likely to be stars as well, and these two were wearing sunglasses.

At first glance, the girl recognized Joey Wong. Compared to Zhou Yan, Joey Wong wearing sunglasses was indeed easier to recognize.

"Xiaoxian!"

After being recognized, Wang Zuxian responded generously, "Hello."

Suddenly they ran into two big stars, Chen Derong and Wang Zuxian. The two girls jumped up with joy, "Wow, it's really you, we are so lucky."

"Xiao Xian, aren't you filming a movie recently?"

"Yeah, yeah, I saw it on the news."

Speaking of filming, the two girls suddenly thought of something and looked at Zhou Yan beside them.

Could this person be...

"Ayan?"

Zhou Yan originally thought that he could escape the fate of being recognized, but in the end he was not able to escape.

He forced a smile, "Hello."

"Wow, it's really you, Ayan."

The two girls started jumping up again with small steps. Zhou Yan discovered that nowadays girls in Hong Kong and Taiwan would really jump up when they were happy.

There were more people in the cinema now than at eleven o'clock, and soon other people heard the noise and looked over.

Seeing that others were about to gather around, Zhou Yan smiled at the two girls and said, "Sorry, we have to leave."

After saying that, he gave a look to Joey Wong and Chen Derong, and then the three of them walked out together.

But it was difficult for them to run, so they could only speed up a little. But at this speed, they could be easily caught up by others.

Zhou Yan had the impression that Hong Kong's movie and music fans were relatively restrained, but the people they met today were obviously not very restrained. When some of them learned that the three of them appeared here, they followed them excitedly.

After leaving the cinema, there is a shopping mall and there are more people around.

Soon, a group of people followed Zhou Yan and the other three.

When other people in the mall saw this scene, they were naturally very curious and ran over to join in the fun. As time went by, more and more people gathered around.

"What should we do?" Chen Derong asked.

Wang Zuxian shrugged and said with a smile, "Just walk slowly, they will stop following you after a while."

"Then where are we going now?"

“Just walk around the neighborhood.”

Joey Wong has been recognized and stared at on the street quite often. In many cases, she was recognized by the paparazzi instead of her fans first.

Today was pretty good, at least they didn't get involved with paparazzi when they went out.

But compared to the previous time she was recognized, the situation today was a little more complicated because Zhou Yan and Chen Derong were beside her. At first, people just followed behind, but soon someone shouted.

"Xiaoxian, are you filming a movie?"

"Ayan, when will your new movie be released?"

“When will the new album be released?”

……

The shouts kept coming one after another, and Zhou Yan and the others had no way to answer them. They just raised their hands and waved from time to time to appear that they were not so indifferent.

When they walked out of the mall, the number of onlookers was still the same. The two girls they met in the cinema also followed them out. They no longer cared about the movie.

At first Zhou Yan wanted to get rid of these people, but later he found that he couldn't, so he calmed down and strolled around the commercial street.

After exiting the mall and walking past Tiffany, I happened to arrive at a Shiseido store.

This Shiseido store is quite big, and there is a very large poster hanging at the door with a full-length photo of Joey Wong printed on it.

There were a few people who were standing under the poster taking pictures. Suddenly they saw Zhou Yan and his group walking towards them surrounded by a crowd, and they all stood still.

They looked up at the huge poster behind them, then looked at Joey Wong, feeling like they were dreaming.

Wang Zuxian saw the Shiseido store and said with a smile, "Let's go in and take a look."

Zhou Yan nodded, "Okay."

They are both spokespeople for Shiseido, so going in now can be considered as a bit of publicity for the sponsor.

When Zhou Yan and his group of people walked into Shiseido, the employees in the store were dumbfounded.

Why did so many people come suddenly?

Although having guests is a good thing, this dark crowd is too scary.

When the store manager ran out, she happened to see Joey Wong standing next to the counter. She was also confused. Why was the spokesperson here?

Didn’t I hear from headquarters that there is an event today?

The store manager hurried over to greet them, "Ms. Wang, Mr. Zhou, welcome."

It's normal that she didn't recognize Chen Derong.

Compared with Zhou Yan and Joey Wong, Chen Derong is less well-known in Hong Kong.

Chen Derong's fame mainly comes from Qiong Yao dramas, but Qiong Yao dramas do not have a good market in Hong Kong.

"Three Romances of the Plum Blossom" was broadcast during TVB's prime time, but the ratings were average. "Between Water and Clouds" was even worse and was directly cancelled.

Looking at the flustered store manager, Joey Wong said with a smile, "We were just walking around and happened to see your store, so we came in to take a look."

The store manager looked at the crowd of onlookers that were almost filling up their store and pursed his lips. Is this really just a walk-around?
Zhou Yan noticed the store manager's expression and laughed, "Does our coming here bother you?"

The store manager waved his hands quickly, "No, no, we welcome you very much. If you like anything, just ask and I will serve you personally."

Although the store manager said so, Zhou Yan and his friends did not stay for too long. They just took a quick look around and then left.

They also found that it was not a good idea to have so many people crowded into one store.

After leaving Shiseido and walking forward, Zhou Yan suddenly heard the sound of piano from the north. He turned around and looked in that direction. He saw a piano at the door of Fendi, and someone was sitting there playing the piano.

Zhou Yan was interested because the piece played was Liszt's "The Bells". It is rare to see people playing this piece on the street.

The song "Bells" is quite difficult and most people would not challenge it when playing it on the street, and this person played it surprisingly well.

However, the pitch of this piano is not very good, and some parts sound uncomfortable.

Wang Zuxian also heard the piano and suggested with a smile, "How about we go and take a look?"

"Forget it, let's not bother them anymore." Zhou Yan shook his head and prepared to continue walking west.

But after taking a few steps, he suddenly heard another familiar melody and turned his head again.

Although it is rare to hear someone playing "The Bells" on the street, this song is not rare now. Zhou Yan has never heard anyone playing it on the street before, because this is his "Eternal Night".

Zhou Yan had heard many of his songs on the streets. "Reunion", "Secret Joy" and "Kite" are all relatively common ones, and such songs are often played in shopping malls.

But it was the first time he heard "Eternal Night". Not to mention hearing it played live, he had never even heard it played in a shopping mall.

Wang Zuxian frowned and said, "This song sounds so familiar, but I just can't remember where I heard it before."

Before, Joey Wong knew nothing about classical piano music. It was only after being with Zhou Yan that she learned a little.

Chen Derong curled her lips and said, "These piano pieces all sound the same to me. Isn't this the same piece as the one just now?"

"Of course not." Joey Wong shook her head firmly.

Zhou Yan smiled and was about to tell Wang Zuxian the answer, but she suddenly widened her eyes and said, "Third brother, isn't this your song "Eternal Night"? "

The song "Eternal Night" is quite long. Some sections are not so memorable to her, but some are very impressive. At this moment, the song was playing a section that she was quite familiar with, so she could hear it.

Zhou Yan smiled and nodded, "Yes, it is "Eternal Night". Your ears are getting better and better now."

"Of course." Joey Wong said proudly.

This time, she didn't ask Zhou Yan again, but took the lead and walked towards the piano.

When she did this, the onlookers also followed her and walked over there.

The young man who was playing the piano quietly looked up and suddenly saw a large group of people around him. He was stunned and the rhythm of his piano became chaotic.

But soon, he calmed down.

He must have practiced this piece of music for a long time. First of all, it would take a long time to memorize the score of such a long piece of music.

In addition, he already has his own ideas on how to handle details, and some of them can even make Zhou Yan's eyes light up. These things require a lot of practice and research.

Of course, if you don’t memorize the score, you probably won’t be able to play the song “Eternal Night”, because Zhou Yan gave too many profound techniques when he wrote “Eternal Night”.

For songs that require very advanced techniques, one's hands are too busy playing to have time to look at the score. Even if the score is in front of one, one cannot bother to look at it when actually playing.

The version played by the young man is not the latest version, but the previous version, which is two versions away from the latest version.

The song "Eternal Night" has been changed so much that even the live version at the last concert in Hong Kong is different from the version Zhou Yan performed later in Houston.

The version played in Houston is the latest version. The version performed at the Hong Kong concert this year is the previous version. The version played by the young people now is the version played by Zhou Yan in Neon before. (End of this chapter)
