Some people say that "Butterfly Lovers 1" is a heterosexual movie disguised as homosexuality, and Chen Kexin's homophobic consciousness can be seen in it, while "Butterfly Lovers 2" is the other way around, more like a movie disguised as heterosexuality. Gay movies, Peter Chan's homophobia is fading.
But compared with those movies that really explore homosexuality, the two "Golden Flowers" are obviously not deep enough.
Perhaps Peter Chan wants to explore something in depth on the subject of homosexuality, but is a little timid. Or, perhaps, he wants to explore it, but is not ready because he is not familiar with the subject. No in-depth understanding has been conducted.
In recent years, there have been more and more discussions about homosexuality, and many films on this subject have won awards, which has led some directors to deliberately cater to it and make films on the same type of subject.
Zhou Yan is not saying that Peter Chan shoots such subjects to win awards, but the environment itself will affect the creator's ideas.
After the movie ended, the three of them were not in a hurry to leave. They only got up after the other two couples left.
"I thought that the story of "Golden Leaves 1" had been completed and there was nothing to film in the second part. I didn't expect that the second part was quite good and exceeded my expectations." Chen Derong laughed. said.
Wang Zuxian nodded and joked, "Maybe the third part will be about Fang Yanmei meeting a girl she likes while traveling outside."
"That's quite good. Interesting."
Zhou Yan also laughed. Not to mention, Wang Zuxian's idea was also quite interesting, and it was quite logical, or in line with the routine.
In fact, the routines of the two "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves" are similar.
In the first part, the main story is that gold medal music producer Gu Jiaming fell in love with Lin Ziying, who was disguised as a woman, and the female singer Rose played by Carina Lau also fell in love with Lin Ziying.
In the second part, the returning superstar Fang Yanmei takes the role of Rose and falls in love with Lin Ziying.
Both movies are alternative love triangles between two women and one man.
However, although the core routine is the same, there are advancements in the attempts between same-sex people. In the second part, even though Fang Yanmei later learned that Lin Ziying was a girl, she actually 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, do you still need to advance? Fang Yanmei has a real love relationship with a girl?
With this shot, it will be a trilogy.
It can be seen that the two girls still like this movie and have been discussing the plot. Chen Derong even said that she also wanted to try the role of Lin Ziying.
But to be honest, Chen Derong is not suitable to play Lin Ziying.
Peter Chan's casting was not random. Anita Yuen, who plays Lin Ziying, has a face shape that suits short hair very well. When she wears her hair short, she feels like a young lady.
Like a boy, but very beautiful.
As for Chen Derong’s skeletal appearance, if he keeps his hair too short, he won’t have this feeling.
It was almost one o'clock in the afternoon when the three of them walked out of the cinema.
This is why there are so few people watching this show at 11 o'clock, because the show is so embarrassing that I even missed my meal after watching it.
However, the three of them were not in a hurry, because they had eaten breakfast quite late and were not very hungry. It was good 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 eating, when suddenly two girls walked away with their mouths covered in surprise. Come here, "Rong Rong."
The sound of Rong Rong startled Chen Derong. She hurriedly touched her ear and found that she didn't even wear sunglasses when she came out.
However, she responded 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. When they saw 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 celebrities next to them were probably celebrities, and these two people were also wearing sunglasses.
At this glance, the girl recognized Wang Zuxian. Compared with Zhou Yan, Wang Zuxian wearing sunglasses was indeed more recognizable.
“Xiao Xian!”
After being recognized, Wang Zuxian also responded generously, "Hello."
At once they met two big stars, Chen Derong and Wang Zuxian, and the two girls jumped up with joy, "Wow, that's really cool." It’s you, we are so lucky.”
“Xiaoxian, aren’t you filming recently?”
“Yes, yes, I also saw the news.”
Speaking of filming, the two girls suddenly thought of something and looked at Zhou Yan next to them.
Could this be...
"Ayan?"
Zhou Yan originally thought that he could escape the fate of being recognized, but he still did not escape in the end.
He forced a smile and said, "Hello."
"Wow, it's really you, Ayan."
The two girls jumped up and down again. Zhou Yan discovered that in this era, girls in Xiangjiang and Taiwan really jump up and down when they are happy.
There were more people in the cinema than at eleven o'clock. Soon other people heard the noise and looked over.
Seeing that others were about to gather around, Zhou Yan smiled at the two girls, "Sorry, we have to leave."
After saying that, he gave Wang Zuxian and Chen Derong a Looking at each other, the three of them walked out together.
But it is difficult for them to run, so they can only speed up their pace slightly, but at this speed, it is easy for others to catch up.
The fans and fans in Xiangjiang gave Zhou Yan a relatively restrained impression, but the people they met today were obviously not very restrained. When some people learned that the three of them appeared here, they followed him very 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 three of them.
When other people in the mall saw this scene, they were naturally very curious and ran over to join in the fun. As they went back and forth, more and more people watched.
“What should I 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 should we go now?"
"Let's take a stroll nearby. ”
Wang Zuxian has encountered it more often than not being recognized on the street and being watched. Many times, she is not recognized by movie fans first, but by paparazzi first.
Today was pretty good. At least they didn’t get involved with the paparazzi when they went out.
But compared to when she was recognized before, today's situation was a little more complicated because there were Zhou Yan and Chen Derong beside her. At first, people just followed behind, but soon someone started shouting.
"Xiaoxian, are you making a movie?"
"Ayan, when will your new movie be released."
" When will the new album be released?”
...
The shouts came one after another, and Zhou Yan and the others had no way of answering. They just raised their hands and waved from time to time to show that they were not so indifferent.
When they walked out of the mall, there were no shortage of people watching. 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 get rid of them, so he calmed down and wandered around the commercial street.
After leaving the mall, I walked past Tiffany’s and 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 Wang clearly printed on it.
A few people were standing under the poster to take pictures, but suddenly they saw Zhou Yan and the others walking this way surrounded by people, and they all stood still.
They looked up at the huge poster behind them and then at Joey Wang, feeling like they were dreaming.
Zuxian Wang saw the Shiseido store and said with a smile, "Let's go in and have a look."
Zhou Yan nodded, "Okay."
Both of them are spokespersons for Shiseido. Going in now can be regarded as promoting the sponsor.
When Zhou Yan and the others walked into Shiseido with a group of people, the employees in the store were dumbfounded.
Why did so many people suddenly come?
Although having guests is a good thing, this black crow is too scary.
When the store manager ran out, she happened to see Wang Zuxian standing next to the counter. She was also confused. Why did the spokesperson come?
I didn't hear from the headquarters. Are there any activities today?
The store manager rushed over to say hello, "Miss Wang, Mr. Zhou, welcome."
She didn't recognize Chen Derong, which was normal.
Compared to Zhou Yan and Wang Zuxian, Chen Derong is less well-known in Hong Kong.
Chen Derong’s fame mainly relies on Qiong Yao dramas, but the market for Qiong Yao dramas in Hong Kong is not very good.
"Three Plum Blossoms" was broadcast during TVB's prime time period, but its ratings were average. "Shuiyunjian" was even worse, being cut in half.
Looking at the panicked store manager, Wang Zuxian smiled and said, "We were just walking around and happened to see your store, so we came in to take a look."
The store manager looked around quickly The onlookers who filled their store pursed their lips. Is this really just showing up?
Zhou Yan noticed the store manager's expression and laughed, "Did our coming here bother you?"
The store manager waved his hand quickly, "No, no, for you Come, we are very welcome in our store. If you like something, just ask and I will serve you personally.”
Although the store manager said so, Zhou Yan and the others did not stay too long. They just walked around briefly and went out.
They also discovered that it is really not good for so many people to be crowded in one store.
After leaving Shiseido and walking further, Zhou Yan suddenly heard the sound of a piano from the north, so he turned his head and looked over there, and saw a piano placed at the door of Fendi. At this moment There was a man sitting there playing the piano.
Because he played Liszt's "The Bell", Zhou Yan's interest was aroused. It is rare to see anyone playing this piece of music on the street.
The piece "Bell" is quite difficult. Most people would not challenge it when playing it on the street, and this person actually played it very well.
However, the intonation of this piano is not very good, and it is uncomfortable to listen to in some places.
Wang Zuxian also heard the sound of the piano and suggested with a smile, "How about we go and have a look?"
"Forget it, let's not disturb others." Zhou Yan shook his head, Prepare to continue walking to the west.
But after walking a few steps, he suddenly heard another familiar melody, and he turned his head again.
Although it is rare to hear someone playing "The Bell" on the street, it is not uncommon for this piece of music now. Zhou Yan has never heard someone play it on the street before, because it is his That song "Eternal Night".
Zhou Yan has heard many of his songs on the street. "Reunion", "Hidden Joy" and "Kite" are all relatively common. Such songs are often played in shopping malls.
But this was the first time he heard "Eternal Night". Not to mention hearing it played live, he had never heard it played even in a shopping mall.
Wang Zuxian frowned and said, "This piece of music sounds so familiar, but I just can't remember where I heard it."
Wang Zuxian didn't know much about classical piano music before. It was because I was with Zhou Yan that I got to know him better.
Chen Derong curled his lips and said, "These piano pieces all sound the same to me. Isn't this the same piece as the piece just now?"
"Of course not." Wang Zuxian shook his head firmly.
Zhou Yan smiled and was about to tell Wang Zuxian the answer when he saw her eyes suddenly widen, "Third brother, isn't this your song "Eternal Night"?"
《 "Eternal Night" is a quite long piece of music. Some passages are relatively weak for her to remember, but some are deeply impressive to her. Now she is playing passages that are more familiar to her, so she can hear it.
Zhou Yan smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's "Eternal Night". Your ears are getting better and better now."
"Of course." Wang Zuxian said proudly.
This time, she didn't ask Zhou Yan again and walked directly towards the piano.
When she moved like this, the onlookers also walked in that direction.
The young man who was playing the piano quietly looked up and suddenly saw a large circle of people around him. He was immediately confused and the rhythm of the piano became chaotic.
But soon, he stabilized.
He must have been practicing this piece 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 deal with details, and some parts can make Zhou Yan's eyes shine. These things are inseparable from a lot of practice and research.
Of course, if you don't memorize the score of the song "Eternal Night", you probably won't be able to play it, because when Zhou Yan wrote "Eternal Night", his skills were too deep.
For a piece that is too technical, my hands are too busy to play it and I don’t have time to read the music. Even if I have the music in front of me, I won’t bother to read it when I actually play it.
The version played by young people is not the latest version. It should belong to the previous version, which is two versions different from the latest version.
The song "Eternal Night" has been changed so much that even the live version at the last concert in Xiangjiang was different from the version that Zhou Yan later performed in Houston.
The version played in Houston is the latest version, the version performed at the Xiangjiang Concert this year is the previous version, and the version played by young people now is the version played by Zhou Yan in Neon. (End of this chapter)
