"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 is less than 20 million yuan, and it has received more than 20 million yuan at the 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.
Two ticket warehouses took over 50 million, which would make anyone 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 is 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 watching 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's mouth Holding a lollipop in his mouth, he said, "When the next show of "The Sixth Sense" ends, I'll catch those pretty girls for interviews."
"We can't all interview female fans. ?”
“Of course the male movie fans also need to be interviewed, but don’t worry, let’s take pictures of all the female movie fans first.”
“Oh,” the photography agency looked at his watch. It will be over soon.”
Qiu Huaichang nodded and said, "Let's just wait."
About ten minutes later, the fans who had finished the movie came out of the theater. The two of them searched among the crowd. Qiu Huaichang quickly locked the target. Walked up.
Arrived in front of the two girls, Qiu Huaichang said in neon language, "Two ladies, we are reporters from China Yanjing TV Station. Can we ask you a few questions?"
Listen Said to be reporters from Chinese TV, 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 he heard the girl praise the movie, and asked, "Why did you watch this movie?"
"It was recommended to us by our classmates. , so here we are.”
“Have you seen director Zhou Yan’s movie before?”
“No, but we have listened to his music, "Mysterious Country". I also bought it, 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, and one point is deducted because I didn't see Zhou Yan inside." Another girl said.
This is enough for them to ask, they need to shoot more other materials as soon as possible.
“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 reporters from Chinese TV?"
Qiu Huaichang looked at the woman in front of him. , it’s hard to see her appearance clearly due to her sunglasses and top hat, but she definitely gives the impression that she is 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 have watched this movie twice."
"Of course." Qiu Huaichang laughed, "Since you have watched it twice, you should like it very much." This movie?"
The girl nodded heavily, "Of course I like it. I particularly appreciate Zhou Yan's talent. I will watch it a third time if I have 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 I even went to the scene to meet him.”
Hearing the girl’s answer, Qiu Huaichang gave a thumbs up in his heart, good guy, this girl is a long-time music fan and movie fan of Zhou Yan.
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.
Nowadays, Zhou Yan’s popularity in Neon is really outrageous. A musician has squeezed into the foreign male star popularity rankings. This is an outrageous thing in itself. Moreover, Qiu Huaichang feels that at the end of last year, Zhou Yan drove After the concert, his ranking will rise this year.
"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 this program of yours?"
"Probably 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 video was produced by our TV station. "Qiu Huaichang couldn't help but place an advertisement for their TV station.
"So, I will go to Yanjing next month. Can I visit your TV station then?"
"Well...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 if 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 just to be polite.”
"I thought Neon people were very upright and wouldn't tell such lies."
Qiu Huaichang curled his lips, "It's the same everywhere."
《Sixth "The Sixth Sense" has become a hit recently, so Yanjing TV wants to make a special program to follow up on "The Sixth Sense"'s box office success in Neon, and shoot 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 understood clearly during the time he spent in Neon. Although Neon people are different from Chinese people at first glance, they are actually the same in essence. What kind of people are here in Neon as well? All.
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 take pictures of the big screen later."
The big screen has now become a small attraction. They are coming this time Definitely going to take pictures.
……
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 and looked out the porthole, and saw that the runway was filled with dirt and gravel. No wonder it's 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.
Beside 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.
"Is the road okay? This small plane is not comfortable to ride on."
"It's okay, better than taking the bus."
"It's been okay recently, if Even in March and April, we can’t fly. Every March and April, there will be flooding here, and then operations will stop. After a while, there will be more rain and water will accumulate here.”
"How far is it from Zhenbeibao?"
"The straight-line distance is more than ten kilometers, and we can get there in more than half an hour."
"Then let's leave quickly."
The place where the airport is located is quite remote, but they are getting more and more remote as they go, and the terrain here is relatively flat. They saw it from a distance before they even reached Zhenbei Castle.
Zhenbeibao was a border 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.
Zhenbeibao is quite lively now because of the arrival of the "Westward Journey" crew.
Although we are not filming at the moment, most of the people on the scene are wearing costumes, so when the car drives in, it feels like you have 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 was naturally salivating when he saw a director like Zhou Yan who was able to earn money like crazy.
Although he didn't say it, he also had an idea in his heart. If there is a chance later, he can invite Zhou Yan to cooperate in filming and set up Caixing Company. It is mainly to film for Zhou Xingchi. Yes, but if he wants to develop and grow, he must also Collaborate more 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 a little busy, otherwise I would have come here long ago."
"It's because we didn't entertain you well. I should have picked you up at the airport in person. It's sunny outside, let's go into the room and talk. Xingzi and Director Liu are both inside."
Zhou Yan nodded and followed Yang Guohui in. house.
In the room, Zhou Xingchi and Liu Zhenwei were arguing fiercely about something in Cantonese, and Zhou Yan could probably understand it.
They were discussing the role of Patriarch Bodhi. It seemed that because Zhou Xingchi kept speaking Cantonese with the actors on the set, the shots were not ideal.
What Liu Zhenwei meant was that for the sake of the movie, Zhou Xingchi should try his best to use Mandarin when playing 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 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 is 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 almost shouted, "I won't change it anyway!"
Liu Zhenwei was also very angry, but he did not continue. Escalating 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 far."
Zhou Xingchi couldn't hold back his anger at the moment, but it was hard to explode again in front of Zhou Yan. He and Zhou Yan squeezed out a smile, "Director Zhou, there are still people in Mingcheng. There's something going on, you should chat with them for a while."
"It's okay, just go and do your work."
Zhou Xingchi nodded and left.
Yang Guohui said something to 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."
< br>
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 a Xiangjiang actor.
And when Zhou Yan speaks, Zhou Xingchi will most likely listen. Otherwise, Zhou Xingchi will 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 Xiangjiang and Neon. Congratulations."
"It was pretty good in Neon. , in Xiangjiang, I can only say that it is average.”
The movie has been released in Xiangjiang for almost a month, but the box office has only 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 be disappointing It feels like there are a lot less people.
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 many days can Director Zhou stay in Yinchuan this time?"
"A week, maybe. I won't be able to stay for too long. How is Zhao Kuo's performance on site?"
"It's pretty good. Every day during filming, he would write and draw in his notebook on set. I didn't know much about the soundtrack, so I didn't read what he wrote."
"He was on set. There is nothing special about writing a team diary." Zhou Yan smiled and then talked about work, "You must have changed the script 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 is indeed much richer than the previous one, and gradually looks like a normal script. However, some of the lines in it seem to be different from what Zhou Yan has read.
This is normal. It is no longer that world, and naturally it cannot all be the same.
After reading the script, Zhou Yan asked again, "Do you have a shooting schedule for the latest week?"
"There really isn't one. The plans for these days can't be pushed forward, so just I am worried about Patriarch Bodhi, so 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 change, then Jia Zhaoji can only be replaced, but it is difficult to find an actor now.
Zhou Yan asked about the schedule. He also wanted to take a look at the 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, let's have dinner together tonight."
"Yes."
After leaving the room, Jiang Mengfei had already driven away.
Zhou Yan did not go looking for Jiang Mengfei, but walked around alone in Zhenbei Fort.
He didn't take two steps when someone greeted him.
"Director Zhou."
Zhou Yan looked at the person in front of him. He was Lao Cao, a martial arts fighter from the Chang'an Factory.
He said with a smile, "Old Cao, this is a good outfit."
Old Cao was wearing bandit clothes and looked quite tough. He touched his head , "Director Zhou is joking, 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?"
Hearing someone calling him, Lu Shuming was a little confused at first. Tou saw Zhou Yan standing below, with a bright smile on his face.
"Brother Zhou, you are here."
After saying 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 said that, 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 kind of trouble did the filming have?"
"It was 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?"
"I didn't know that I was acting like this before I came here. The devil is wearing a big bull’s head, covered with hair, so you can’t even see my face.”
Zhou Yan said strangely, "They didn't tell you."
"Tell me, can I come?"
Hearing this, Zhou Yan frowned. Xing didn't do it right, and 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.
Wong Kar-wai previously 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 Chao Wei felt pretty good and 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 is signed, just play it. . 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 in Cantonese. It sounds like a book from heaven to me, and I can’t understand the performance."
Zhou Yan pondered, this. The problem with the crew was more serious than he expected. He originally thought that Lu Shuming would be doing well in the crew after all he had just played Guan Yu, but he didn't expect that the situation would be the same.
In Zhou Yan's opinion, Zhou Xingchi definitely didn't mean to make things difficult for Lu Shuming and the others, but this guy has a really bad temper. Some people say that he is a tyrant on the set, which is true at all.
Compared to Zhou Xingchi, Liu Zhenwei is much gentler.
If Stephen Chow was just the starring role, that would be okay. Even if he quarreled with the director, he could still hold back. 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."
"The two of us?"
"Liu The directors are all here too.”
"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."< br>
“That’s no problem.”
The two chatted under the Chengmen Building for more than half an hour, 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 is very busy tonight."
Hearing the news, Zhou Yan was surprised, "It was a sudden decision?"
"It's not too sudden. , I had this idea before, but now I can’t help it.”
Zhou Yan doesn’t understand why there is no way.
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 is just because the actors of Bodhi Patriarch need to be replaced and other scenes are temporarily filmed, 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. ”
After that, starting from 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 cannot be shot in one day, and it can be considered as 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, even the Bull Demon King.
This shows that they should have started working before dawn.
Zhou Yan met Hong Xin and Lin Juan. They were both 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 others are 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 was obvious that Lu Shuming and Chen Hong were a little confused after listening to Zhou Xingchi and the others.
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 it's no problem."
Zhou Xingchi also nodded and continued to tell them the play, but when he was halfway through, Zhou Yan said again, "Director Zhou, could you please speak more slowly? "My Cantonese is not very good, so I can't understand it well."
As soon as he said this, the scene suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at him with various expressions.
Several mainland actors have told Zhou Xingchi and others about this, 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 and said, "Director Liu's Mandarin is pretty good. How about Director Liu translate it for me? I also want to know more about your filming process and find the soundtrack. The inspiration is so hazy now that it has 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 slowly in Mandarin. , my Chinese is not very good, if there is anything I don’t understand clearly, you must remind me.”
“Thank you, Director Zhou, for your understanding. It is not easy for everyone in such a big drama. In order to give 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 want to join Director Zhou. Director Liu and his crew should learn a little bit of Cantonese in advance to facilitate communication. That means Director Zhou has a great set of skills, otherwise it will 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." After we finish filming, I’ll listen to it for you.”
Hearing that Zhou Yan had written a song, Zhou Xingchi’s eyes lit up, “Okay, let’s just call it a day and listen to it.” (End of this chapter)
