The literary era since 1979

Chapter 291 A Heart-Stealing Sound

"Since these are first offenses for both of you, I'll let it go this time."

The police officer returned the documents to Fang Yan and said kindly, "But don't do it again."

"Thank you so much, police comrade."

Fangyan put the professional writer's certificate back on his chest and took Huazi out of his pocket.

"I say, you two should be more careful in the future."

The police officer reminded: "Now is a period of strict crackdown. Even if you are a couple, you are not allowed to mess around in public. What's more, you two haven't registered your marriage yet. It's easy to be mistaken for an improper relationship between a man and a woman."

Then, she took the cigarette he handed over and said, "If you really want to date, it's best to stay at home during this period..."

Fangyan nodded repeatedly and gave cigarettes to everyone.

"Or, you two should just get married sooner and become a couple sooner." The policeman said while smoking a cigarette, "This way you can get along openly and you won't encounter things like today again."

When he heard the word "marriage", Gong Xing's cheeks turned slightly red, his heart started pounding, and he subconsciously hid behind Fang Yan.

"What a coincidence."

Fang Yan smiled and said, "We are discussing getting married."

"Really!"

The police officer raised his eyebrows and grinned: "Then I have to congratulate you in advance."

"thanks, thanks."

Fangyan smiled and put the whole bag of Huazi in his hand, then left with Gong Xing.

After watching the two men leave, the police and assistant officers, who were just watching from the sidelines, chatted and laughed, discussing Fangyan and Gong Xing.

The most common thing they said was "the man is talented and the woman is beautiful, they are a perfect match."

Fortunately, these days, there is no entertainment industry in the mainland, celebrity gossip is not popular, and the people are not keen on the private lives of actors.

Even so, Gong Xing still had lingering fears. He caught a glimpse of Fang Yan laughing out of the corner of his eye and said with a resentful look in his eyes:

"You can still laugh, don't you know how dangerous it was just now?"

"We are on a normal date, a normal relationship. If you are upright, you have nothing to fear. What do you have to be afraid of?"

Fang Yan said calmly, "If it really doesn't work, then we'll just do as the police officer said and get married."

Gong Xing turned his head away in shame, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Your abacus beads are about to fall on my face!"

"Do you agree or not?"

Fangyan asked seriously about the reply to the letter.

"You haven't even sung the song you promised."

Gong Xing pursed his lips and said, "If you don't tell me first, I won't tell you."

Fangyan shrugged helplessly and said it was a pity. He had wanted to take advantage of the ambiguous and harmonious atmosphere to make a big splash, but the atmosphere he had just created was destroyed. So he chose another opportunity and agreed to meet on the day of the premiere of the movie "Under the Bridge".

"Don't lie to me! Pinky promise!"

Gong Xing stretched out his little finger.

The two little fingers were intertwined and hooked, and the dialect was slightly mysterious:
"When the time comes, I will definitely give you a surprise!"

It would be fine if he didn't say it, but once he said it, Gong Xing felt itchy, as if more than a hundred "dialects" were crawling on his body, causing him great torture.

After three days of agony, the premiere of "Under the Bridge" will finally be shown in the Shanghai Film Studio's own cinema.

Gong Xing, Zhao Jing and Zhang Yu walked in and their eyes immediately fell on Fang Yan in the front row. They were sitting behind him.

At this time, Fang Yan was chatting and laughing with Wang Fulin, Wu Yigong and others about the casting of "Dream of Red Mansions".

Wu Yigong asked, "I wonder how many people you have found now?"

"So far, there are only three."

Wang Fulin said the names of Hua Yiqing, Le Yun and Xia Jing.

When Wu Yigong heard that Xia Jing was going to audition for the role of "Jia Baoyu", he was shocked. He never expected that a "Kun Sheng" would be chosen.

"There is no other way."

Wang Fulin sighed, "It's all thanks to Teacher Fang's advice, otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to find an actor to play Jia Baoyu."

Fangyan smiled and said that the "Xia Jing" he recommended was "Jia Baoyu" in the 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions".

"Unfortunately, our studio has strict regulations on the secondment of actors, and I can't help."

Wu Yigong sighed, "If it was just a movie, I would have lent it to you..."

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Fangyan changed the subject: "Speaking of borrowing people, do you remember the movie "Huang Feihong" we talked about before?"

Wu Yigong nodded, "Why did Teacher Fang suddenly bring this up?"

"Not long ago, I went to the United States and had to transfer in Hong Kong."

Fangyan told the truth, detailing everything from the background of Cinema City to the identities of Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng.

Wu Yigong became interested. "Then, is this Xu Ke willing to co-produce "The Grandmaster Huang Feihong" with our Shanghai Film Studio?"

"I'm afraid we'll have to wait until the studio is established before we can talk about this."

Fang Yan asked back, "But if Xu Ke agrees, how about Shanghai Film Studio?"

“Of course we welcome you!”

Wu Yigong said embarrassedly: "But there is a policy for co-productions now. Only film companies from Hong Kong are allowed to come to the mainland."

"Of course they have to come to the mainland to shoot."

Fang Yan said that he wanted to keep the filming studio of "The Grandmaster Huang Feihong" in Shanghai, and build a film and television base with it as the center.

"Film and television base?!" Wu Yigong, Wang Fulin and others looked at each other in surprise.

Fangyan nodded and briefly introduced the shooting and operation model of the Hong Kong Film Company.

Like Golden Harvest's "independent producer system", Shaw Brothers' "production line production and marketing integration model", Xinyicheng's "group creation"...

Then he took the TV series Dream of the Red Chamber as an example, "To shoot this classic masterpiece, we must specially design and build the shooting scenes such as the Grand View Garden and the Rongguo Mansion. When the TV series becomes popular, many domestic and foreign audiences will naturally come to visit, and through tourism, the cost can be recovered in disguise. Moreover, these scenes can be used repeatedly and can even be rented to other brother units..."

"This this……"

Wu Yigong and others were amazed by these fantastic ideas, especially the concept of "film and television base".

"To be honest, the Western Film Studio is now in Zhenbeibao, building a Western Film Studio specifically for "The Great Qin Splitting"."

Fang Yan looked around but didn't see Xie Jin, which made him feel regretful.

After all, the first film and television base in China, Hengdian Film and Television City, was established because of Xie Jin's "Opium War".

"If that's the case, then wouldn't it be like using the money from the Hong Kong Film Company to build our filming base?"

When the leaders in Shanghai Film Studio heard that they could get it for free, they were immediately delighted.

"Cough cough!"

Wu Yigong coughed lightly and said, "Teacher Fang, how confident do you think this will be a good match?"

"I estimate it to be about 50% to 60%."

Fang Yan said, "So, it's best to make preparations in advance, such as scouting out locations that are more suitable for building a studio and for future expansion into a film and television base." He then turned his gaze to Gong Xian, "In addition, there are also actors..."

“As for the candidates, we have communicated with each other before.”

Wu Yigong said firmly that if the movie could really be filmed, he would recommend Gong Xing to play "Auntie Thirteen".

Gong Xing, who was sitting in the back row, opened his eyes wide. Zhao Jing and Zhang Yu, who were on his left and right, were also more surprised than happy, and their heads were buzzing.

In sight, Fang Yan and Wu Yigong were chatting and laughing, and even talked about the location of the film and television base in Songjiang.

Sheshan, Sijing, Chedun, Yexie, choose one!

As they were talking, the lights in the cinema gradually dimmed, the screen began to glow, and "Under the Bridge" officially began airing.

Fangyan found an excuse and cast a meaningful look at Gong Xing before walking out of the theater.

Zhang Yu gently touched her best friend and said jokingly, "Sister Gong Xi, why don't you go quickly? Don't make people wait anxiously."

Gong Xi rolled his eyes in shame and anger: "Xiao Yu, you want to be beaten!"

Zhao Jing tried to smooth things over helplessly, "Sister Gong Wei, you better hurry over there. I'll cover for you."

Gong Xing nodded, and accompanied by Zhao Jing, the two came to the corridor and saw Fang Yan waving at him not far away.

"Talk slowly."

Facing Zhao Jing's playful gaze, Gong Xing walked to Fang Yan without turning his head, grabbed his hand, and led him out of the cinema to a remote place with dense glass fragments on the top of the wall.

"This place is great."

Fangyan looked around, but there was no one around.

Gong Xing's eyes flickered. "The 'surprise' you mentioned is the heroine of 'The Grandmaster Huang Feihong'?"

Fangyan joked, "If I say yes, would you be surprised? Would you be happy?"

Gong Xing nodded slightly, but heard him say with a playful smile that it was not the case, and blinked and said:
"What on earth is that? Tell me!"

"of course……"

While singing in dialect, he took out a box from his pocket, "When you are old, your hair is white, and you are drowsy, when you are old, you can't walk, and you take a nap by the fire... Only one person still loves your pious soul and the wrinkles on your old face."

Gong Xing's face flushed and his heart beat fast, his voice trembled: "What is this?"

"An emerald ring."

Fangyan grinned and chuckled, "This is the real surprise!"

Gong Xing's eyes misted over, and he bit his lip with tears in his eyes. "Why buy this? It must be very expensive."

Fang Yan narrowed his eyes and said, "Doesn't this show your sincerity? You can't just give me a gold ring, you have to put a big gem in it."

"A gold ring is good! I'm satisfied with it!"

Gong Xing said, "If it can both maintain its value and increase in value, why buy gemstones? It's just a waste of money!"

Fang Yan jokingly said, "This is nothing. This is just a proposal ring. When we get married in the future, there will be another ring."

"Propose? Get married?"

Gong Xing's face turned red and his whole body was shaking slightly.

"Of course. Now I'm just waiting for your words."

Fang Yan held her hand with one hand and held the ring with the other hand, "Can you be my wife?"

Gong Xing's eyes moistened and he couldn't help sobbing:
"Today I want to help you clean up the mess, if you want to break up with me in the future, you will be dreaming! Do you understand?"

"Got it!"

Fangyan put the ring on her hand, and as their eyes met, he couldn't help but move closer. It was warm, fragrant and soft.

At this time, if it were put in a movie, it would have to have the classic BGM of Brother Wuying.

"Who stole my heart secretly!"

"Can't tell, night or day,"

"Who stole my heart secretly? Oh... My eyes can't see myself."
