1990: Starting from Baojia Street

Qiqi walked to the poster of The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly and read all the information on the poster.

I've never heard of this Zhou Yan. I don't know if he has made other movies before. I really like this style, especially some of the songs in it. Have you heard of Zhong Wenze?

Zhong Wenze scratched his head and said, Some of the songs are quite familiar.

Really? Qiqi looked at Zhong Wenze.

Zhong Wenze smiled awkwardly, But I don't remember the name either.

He was talking about Liszt's The Bell and Chopin's Torrent. He had indeed heard these two pieces before. He thought they were familiar to him when he watched the movie, but he really didn't know the names.

A lot of piano music is like this. I only remember the melody but not the name.

It's a pity that I didn't pay attention to the scrolling subtitles at the end just now, otherwise I would have known the information about those songs. Qiqi said regretfully.

The curtain call does not necessarily contain information about all the songs. Zhong Wenze smiled, A Chang has played piano since he was in elementary school. Later I asked him to watch the movie again and let him listen to what the songs were.

Isn't it good to trouble others like this?

What's the trouble? I'm recommending good movies to him. He also complained two days ago that there are no good movies recently.

Qiqi nodded, That's true.

While the two were talking, a young couple walked in.

The young couple were probably hesitating about which movie to watch. They wandered in front of the posters of several movies and discussed them in low voices. They seemed a little entangled.

Qiqi pointed to the poster of The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly and recommended to them, You can watch this movie. We just watched it. It's very good.

After hearing what Qiqi said, the couple also came over.

It looks pretty good, the girl said.

The boy didn't have any opinion. When the girl said it was good, he nodded quickly, Okay, okay, just look at this.

After saying that, the boy went to buy a ticket.

Qiqi reminded them again, Don't rush to leave when the movie ends. There will be Easter eggs. In addition, the music in the movie is very nice, so remember to listen to it.

The girl smiled and said, Thank you.

…

The next afternoon, Qiqi came to the cinema with two girls.

After returning home after watching the movie yesterday, Qiqi strongly recommended The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly to her roommates, piqued their interest and said they wanted to come and watch it.

When she heard that they wanted to watch it too, Qiqi came with them. Although she had already watched it once, she didn't mind watching it again.

And she also wanted to listen to some of the music in it, especially Hidden Joy played by the male protagonist at her grandfather's house and the unnamed song she saw played by the female protagonist in the rain.

These two pieces of music, one cheerful and one beautiful, had a strong sense of melody. Before going to bed last night, she was still thinking about these two pieces of music. However, because she had only listened to them once, the impression of the notes had begun to blur. Her roommates asked her to Even if she hums, she can’t hum.

After arriving at the cinema, the three of them walked straight to the ticket office.

Hello, buy three movie tickets for The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly.

The conductor looked up at Qiqi and said with a smile, The nearest show is at four o'clock in the afternoon. Do you want to buy it?

It's only half past one, and there are still two and a half hours until four o'clock. It takes a long time to wait.

Qiqi asked in surprise, Why does it take so long?

Because this movie has a relatively small schedule, our cinema only has two screenings a day. In fact, you can watch The Trial or Police Story, which have more screenings.

Qiqi pouted, We just want to watch The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly and nothing else.

Then she turned to look at her two roommates, It's going to take two hours. Do you want to wait?

One of the roommates said with a smile, No need to wait, go check out other theaters, maybe they have movies scheduled?

Qiqi nodded. Her roommate was right. If it was only half an hour, they could wait, but they couldn't wait for two and a half hours. Besides, there were more than just this movie theater nearby. Just go to other movie theaters. alright.

Then the three of them turned around and went to other places.

When the conductor saw the three people leaving, she curled her lips and went back to her own business. Whether the tickets were sold or not had nothing to do with her.

In fact, this is not the first time that this happened today. In the morning, two boys came over and said they wanted to watch The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly, but there were no shows in the morning, so the two boys also went to other cinemas.

The theater manager also knows this, but it is impossible to increase the number of film schedules just because of a few viewers. The main reason is that there are not many viewers to watch The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly. If there are more, it may have to be improved. The film is scheduled.

…

The two boys who went to the cinema in the morning were Zhong Wenze and his brother Chen Changrong. They failed at this cinema and went to other cinemas. They searched a total of three cinemas before they found one that held a screening of The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly in the morning. .

After watching the movie, Chen Changrong went back to his dormitory and read the scores of Sneak Joy, Reunion and Croatian Rhapsody like crazy.

At the end of the movie, there are the names of these three songs.

For Zhong Wenze and Qiqi, they only thought the music was pretty good after watching the movie.

But it was different for Chen Changrong, who had been studying piano since he was a child. First of all, he knew that these three pieces of music were probably original and should have been written by Zhou Yan, the film's soundtrack director.

From a professional point of view, these three songs are certainly not particularly technically advanced pieces, but the melody is absolutely invincible and cannot be written by ordinary people at all.

It's a pity that Chen Changrong has only watched the movie once, and he can't pick out the scores of all three songs. He is already planning to go to the cinema to watch it again.

But just as he was scratching his head, Zhong Wenze came back from outside.

Achang, look at this.

Zhong Wenze held a box of tapes in his hand.

Chen Changrong leaned closer and rubbed his eyes, and saw the cover of the tape saying: The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly Original Soundtrack.

There is such a thing?

Chen Changrong grabbed the tape, took out his Walkman, and couldn't wait to put the tape into the Walkman.

Zhong Wenze said with a smile, Qiqi and her roommates just came back from going to the movies and said that the movie theater they went to had a promotional poster for the soundtrack, so they went to the video store to look for it, and they actually found the tape. Take a look. this……

Then Zhong Wenze took out another booklet from his pocket, the kind that comes with buying a tape.

“It has information about the music, information about the composer, and the story of each song.”

Chen Changrong was focused on the tape at the moment and didn't pay attention to what Zhong Wenze said. He had already put on the headphones of his Walkman.

You should leave one for me too.

Zhong Wenze pulled off one of the earphones and put it on himself. The two of them started listening next to each other.

The first song on side A is Croatian Rhapsody, the last song played by the male protagonist in The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly. The version on the tape is exactly the same as in the movie, so it should have been recorded at the same time.

Zhong Wenze was completely immersed in the music, while Chen Changrong was memorizing the notes and preparing to finish the unfinished score. He also wanted to play the song himself.

After listening to this song, it was time to play the second song on side A.

When the second song played, Zhong Wenze frowned, because he had no memory of this song at all. He was sure that this song had never appeared in The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly, absolutely not!

Did the movie have any cuts?

Where's the catalog? Chen Changrong asked.

Zhong Wenze handed him the pamphlet just now, It's on it.

Taking the booklet, Chen Changrong found the information about the second song on side A.

[Kite: This song is from the movie Heaven Replies...]

Heaven replies?

which movie is this?

Looking further back, there is also an introduction to this movie.

It turns out that Reply from Heaven is a heart-warming film directed by mainland director Wang Junzheng, and the soundtrack director is Zhou Yan... who is also the director of The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly.

I knew it!

Chen Changrong slapped his thigh.

When he knew that the soundtrack director and director of The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly were the same person, he was wondering if Zhou Yan had any other works before, but he didn't expect to hear it.

What a surprise. The music they are hearing now is also of a very high level. Although it does not have the bonus of a movie image, it still makes people empathize.

Kite……

This must be a sad kite, fluttering like a rootless tree.

After that, Chen Changrong listened to the music and read the booklet.

His eyes shone like Columbus discovering the New World.

This album is so sincere. There are about twenty songs in total, both long and short. I won’t talk about the short ones. There are eight other songs that are longer than two minutes, and every one of them is good to listen to.

Except for the three long soundtracks in The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly, the other songs are from the two movies Reply from Heaven and Sanmao Joins the Army.

Forever Together, Awakening, San Mao, Wind, etc., these are all works by one person, and looking at the information, they are all works in the past two years.

Chen Changrong couldn't help but sigh, this Zhou Yan is so talented.

Zhong Wenze also saw the two movies Sanmao Joins the Army and Reply from Heaven on the introduction, and said with some regret, It's a pity that they are both mainland movies and they don't seem to be released here. Otherwise, I would like to watch them. The director of the movie is not Zhou Yan, so I don’t know how it turned out.”

Perhaps Zhong Wenze himself didn't realize that his understanding of mainland movies suddenly changed. Before, he thought most mainland movies were boring, but now he actually wanted to watch those two movies because of their soundtracks.

Chen Changrong smiled and said, Although it is a mainland film, it may not be released in Hong Kong, but the video tape may be sold in Hong Kong in the future.

Zhong Wenze shrugged. He rarely saw mainland movie tapes in the video store. Video stores also want to make money, and of course they don't want to sell video tapes that are difficult to sell.

Is there a record of this album? Chen Changrong asked.

Yes. Zhong Wenze nodded, and then said with a smile, Qiqi just bought one and didn't give it to me.

This record sold for more than 80 Hong Kong dollars. Qiqi didn't have much pocket money, so of course she couldn't bear to buy more.

When he heard that there was a record, Chen Changrong nodded. Of course, the tape was still not as good as the record. He planned to go back and buy another record. It would be better if there was vinyl.

Chen Changrong flipped through the booklet again and turned to the last page, which had a photo.

In the photo, there is a man sitting in front of the piano and smiling at the camera. Next to it are two words: Zhou Yan.

Looking at this man, Chen Changrong raised his eyebrows, pointed at the photo and said to Zhong Wenze, Look at it.

Zhong Wenze stretched his head over to take a look, then smiled and said, Zhou Yan is still a handsome boy.

Does he look familiar to you?

look familiar?

Zhong Wenze scratched his head and suddenly thought of something.

Seeing that he had thought about it, Chen Changrong also laughed.

The two of them spoke almost at the same time.

Movie easter egg.

maggie's rumored boyfriend.

The first sentence was said by Chen Changrong, and the latter sentence was said by Zhong Wenze.

After hearing the other's answer, both of them were a little confused.

Is he the one in the movie's Easter egg?

Is he Maggie's rumored boyfriend?

They asked the question almost at the same time.

Zhong Wenze scratched his head. Although he had watched the movie twice, there were not many frontal shots of the man in the Easter egg. He did not remember what he looked like. He focused on the flute and the paraglider. He thought he played the flute. Just a passerby.

Chen Changrong also scratched his head. Some time ago, Zhang Manyu's incident was a big deal, and he had heard about it. However, he usually didn't pay much attention to such gossip news, so he only knew a rough idea and didn't see the photos of Zhang Manyu's rumored boyfriend.

Zhong Wenze was not sure whether Maggie's rumored boyfriend was Zhou Yan. He ran to the bed, dragged out a box from under the bed, and then dug out an entertainment magazine from inside to find the previous news.

Look. Zhong Wenze showed Chen Changrong the magazine.

Chen Changrong looked at it and then nodded, That should be it.

Of course, there is a name on it. Zhong Wenze pointed to Zhou Yan's name in the news with a smile, and then showed a surprised expression, It turns out that he was mentioned in the previous news as The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly Director.

Chen Changrong curled his lips, You don't even remember.

Who would pay attention to these minutiae? Anyway, I just remembered Zhang Manyu's love letter from the news and that her rumored boyfriend was a handsome boy. I didn't pay attention to anything else.

It is normal for Zhong Wenze to be like this. Most people will only extract key information when reading entertainment news. Most people will probably remember that Zhou Yan is a director when they see the news about Zhang Manyu. Maybe they will remember a little more, that he and Zhang Manyu acted together in Green Snake.

As for what movies this director has made, who will remember them?

…

I remember, wasn't this The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly filmed by Zhang Manyu's rumored boyfriend?

In the cinema, several girls gathered in front of the poster of The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly and chatted.

They were originally hesitating about which movie to watch. When one of the girls saw this poster, she remembered the news about Zhang Manyu.

No one else thought she had such a good memory.

Would you like to buy a ticket and have a look? the girl suggested?

The other girls looked at each other and then nodded.

They had no interest in the movie itself at all. The mainland director was a newcomer, and there wasn't a single well-known star in it, so it couldn't attract people at all.

But this can't stop their curiosity.

Zhang Manyu's rumored new boyfriend, are the movies he makes excellent works, or are they just pieces of shit?

Just like that, several girls bought tickets and walked into the cinema.

An hour and a half later, they came out again with the same thought in their minds: Maggie had really good vision this time.

…

When Xu Feng got the movie's first weekend box office, it was already the 15th.

In the first two and a half days, the box office of The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly in Hong Kong was 620,000 Hong Kong dollars.

This box office is quite poor, but Xu Feng is already satisfied. According to this situation, The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly can sell at least one or two million in Hong Kong, which has reached their minimum target.

The total investment in this film is 6 million yuan. The early short film has sold more than 200,000 pounds abroad, and we are still in contact with the copyright dealer, and we will definitely sell more in the future.

This is just a short film, and the feature film will definitely be sold as well. Needless to say, wouldn’t it be easy to sell it for hundreds of thousands of pounds?

In the Mainland, copies are selling well and can bring back some blood.

Therefore, this film has basically regained its vitality, and there is no psychological burden at all.

Xu Feng herself did not expect this movie to make a lot of money. She would be satisfied if she could recoup her money after it was released.

She also had the same mentality about Farewell My Concubine. It would be too difficult to make a lot of money on a movie with a budget of several million dollars in mainland China.

After listening to Zhang Youan's talk about the data of the previous three days, Xu Feng said with a smile, Don't talk to Zhou Yan more about the box office. Let him film Green Snake with peace of mind. Oh, and also, pay attention to The Piano Boy Record sales.”

She was worried that Zhou Yan was high-spirited and would not be able to accept the movie's box office, so she asked Zhang Youan not to talk too much to Zhou Yan.

Zhang Youan said with a smile, I didn't tell him either. As for record sales, data collection may be slow and it will take some time.

No problem, tell me after you collect the data. Oh, by the way, you don't need to tell me about the movie box office for the time being. Just wait until it exceeds 1.5 million before telling me.

In Xu Feng's opinion, 1.5 million should be a relatively high threshold for this movie's box office in Hong Kong.

Okay, got it.

…

Xu Feng originally thought that it would take a long time to reach the box office of 1.5 million, or even wait until the subsequent movie was released.

But only two days later, Zhang Youan called her and told her that the box office had exceeded 1.5 million.

It only took five days to reach the box office figure of 1.5 million.

How could it be so fast? Xu Feng asked in surprise.

The attendance rate in the next two days will be higher than the previous three days, and some cinemas have increased the number of shows, so the box office will naturally be higher than before. In two days, the box office has increased by more than 800,000 yuan. Zhang Youan explained.

The box office of more than 800,000 yuan in two days is naturally not a great figure when compared to those commercial movies, but it is different for The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly.

According to the current situation, the box office of The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly may eventually exceed 4 million.

The movie will be released in Taiwan soon, and Xu Feng was originally more optimistic about the movie's performance in Taiwan. If these two places can finally get more than 10 million yuan in box office, then the movie will be I can make a small profit, and there are still Neon and Goryeo that have not been released yet.

If the box office share of each country and region can cover the cost, then the overseas copyright fees of the movie will be a pure profit, and there will also be a wave of income from the soundtrack records, and then there will be some money to buy the movie video tapes.

Thinking of this, Xu Feng was in a good mood. Even if she was making movies for feelings, she wouldn't hate making money.

It seems that this time Xiangjiang has made a good start with the mainland. When it is released in Taiwan next week, we will increase the publicity budget.

Zhang Youan smiled and said, Okay, I understand, and the investment in promoting the record should also be increased. I think it should be increased. Taking advantage of this wave of good box office performance, we can promote the record. This afternoon I asked people to go to a few cinemas. We conducted a questionnaire. There were a total of 132 questionnaires, and more than 100 of them mentioned the music in this movie. And among these 100 people, more than 70% did not know about this movie. The soundtrack is out, and that’s what’s missing in terms of promotion.”

Well, we really need to pay attention to this. Put more posters in movie theaters and video stores... It's up to you to take care of these things.

In terms of publicity, Zhang Youan is actually more experienced than Xu Feng.

Okay, I understand. Zhang Youan smiled, and then said, This time, when should I report the situation to you again?

Xu Feng thought for a while and said, Let's wait until 4.5 million this time. Report to me when we get to 4.5 million.

OK.

…

This time, Xu Feng really thought that Zhang Youan would not report to her again until the next painting, but what she didn't expect was that another week later, The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly had just been released in Taiwan, and Zhang Youan gave her Reported on the box office in Xiangjiang.

After the call was connected, Zhang Youan's first sentence was, Mr. Xu, it has reached five million.

When she heard this, Xu Feng should have been very surprised and shocked, but this time she felt it was natural.

She was surprised. Where did this feeling come from?

In fact, if the box office of The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly hadn't bucked the trend and grown, I'm afraid it would have been discontinued by now.

The film market in Xiangjiang is very large. Most movies are released within a month. Usually only some popular movies are released for more than a month.

It is normal for a movie to be released within two to three weeks of its release in Hong Kong.

There are also some movies that are taken off the shelves within a week of their release.

The box office of The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly is rising against the trend, so it can last a little longer.

This time, Xu Feng did not ask Zhang Youan to report the box office amount of tens of thousands to Zhang Youan, but asked Zhang Youan to report it after a week.

Xu Feng doesn't make any guesses as to how much the follow-up movie will achieve at the box office. Anyway, he's just waiting for the movie to draw its final results.

…

The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly has a box office of more than 5 million in Hong Kong. This is a relatively important thing for Zhou Yan, Xu Feng and Tang Chen, but for most people in Hong Kong and the media in Hong Kong Say, it's not important at all.

In the eyes of media reporters, it is just one of many movies that are not very popular, and no one will set their sights on a movie with a box office of just over 5 million.

However, after Tsui Hark found out about this, he still congratulated Zhou Yan on the set.

Five million is already a huge number for this movie.

Zhou Yan was normal and didn't feel very satisfied, but he didn't feel disappointed either. In the market of Xiangjiang, any situation at the box office is normal. In general, it can be considered a stable success with a box office of 5 million, and the subsequent box office growth is a surprise.

My mentality is relatively relaxed. After all, the cost is not high.

Yeah, I've already made money. Tsui Hark nodded, and then asked, Is your movie the mainland movie with the highest box office in Hong Kong?

Really? Zhou Yan didn't know this matter, and no one had counted this before.

Well, anyway, there should be no mainland movie with a higher box office than yours this year... In my impression, no mainland movie has such a high box office.

Zhou Yan shook his head, he really didn't understand this.

Of course, the production company of The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly is from Hong Kong, the producer is from Taiwan, and the producer is also from Taiwan, so it cannot be regarded as a purely mainland film.

While the two were chatting, Zhao Wenzhuo, who played Fahai, came over and greeted them warmly.

Director Xu, Brother Zhou Yan, we are chatting.

Zhao Wenzhuo is a little shorter than Zhou Yan, but a little stronger than Zhou Yan. The young man is very energetic and smiles when he sees people.

He is from the mainland, and he studied in Yanjing before, and he and Zhou Yan are half the same country, so when he was on the set, he always called Zhou Yan brother, and the two of them became familiar with each other.

Tsui Hark smiled and said, Your brother Zhou Yan's movie box office has exceeded 5 million, and I am congratulating him.

Zhao Wenzhuo had just come to Hong Kong not long ago and didn't know much about the box office here. When Tsui Hark said this, he felt that the box office of five million was amazing. He quickly congratulated, Congratulations, Brother Zhou Yan, for your first feature film. To get such good results.”

Zhou Yan smiled and waved his hand, It's okay, it's okay.

Brother Zhou Yan, you are too humble. Zhao Wenzhuo said with a smile.

In fact, the understanding between Zhao Wenzhuo and Zhou Yan went through a process of change in mentality.

Zhao Wenzhuo came to Xiangjiang to wander alone. He was unfamiliar with the people here and naturally felt a little lonely. People here like to speak Cantonese, but sometimes he can’t understand them.

When he first heard that Zhou Yan was also from the Mainland, he felt very happy. Finally, he had a friend from the Mainland and someone to talk to. Moreover, Zhou Yan was about the same age as him, so there must be common topics.

At that time, although he was two years younger than Zhou Yan, he actually felt that he was the eldest brother. After all, he came to Xiangjiang first and had already made two movies.

But later he discovered that the situation was different from what he thought. Zhou Yan was not only an actor, but also the soundtrack director of Green Snake. Many people at the scene called Zhou Yan Director Zhou.

Later, he discovered that Zhou Yan was not only a soundtrack director, but also directed a movie, which was released in the cinema during this period. The crew had even organized a trip to the cinema to watch it, but he didn't come at that time.

One by one, Zhao Wenzhuo's mentality quickly changed. Now he also wants to get closer to Zhou Yan. Maybe Zhou Yan can ask him to shoot the next movie.

In fact, Tsui Hark also had this intention. Zhao Wenzhuo is an artist in his studio. It would be great if he could have a good relationship with Zhou Yan.

The three chatted for a while, and then Zhao Wenzhuo and Tsui Hark went to prepare to start shooting.

There is no Zhou Yan scene today. He just came to the scene to hang out. He didn't bring his younger brothers and sisters, because today Zhao Wenzhuo and Zhang Manyu filmed the scene in the water, which was also quite explicit.

Zhou Yan was sitting in the rest area. After a while, Wang Zuxian also walked to the chair next to Zhou Yan and sat down.

Didn't you bring Qing'er and the others today? Wang Zuxian asked.

Zhou Yan shrugged, It's not very convenient.

Wang Zuxian nodded. She also knew why Zhou Yan said it was inconvenient. Today's scene was indeed a bit explicit for the children.

It might be okay to watch it on TV, but watching them shoot it live is a completely different feeling.

I also said that I would take them out to have fun today, as I promised them last time. Wang Zuxian paused, and then said, How about I treat them to dinner tonight.

Zhou Yan smiled and said, Don't be so polite. You have been filming for so many days and finally have a free day. You should get more rest. It is actually quite tiring to eat with the children.

No, I think it's very relaxing to be with Qing'er and the others. Wang Zuxian shook his head and smiled: And I did promise Qing'er that I would take them to play when I have time. You don't want me to be a Someone who doesn’t keep his word, right?”

Hearing what they said, Zhou Yan didn't refuse anymore and nodded, That's okay. There's a good Anhui cuisine restaurant near the hotel.

When he heard that it was an Anhui cuisine restaurant, Wang Zuxian smiled and said, Okay, I haven't had Anhui cuisine in a long time.

After deciding on dinner in the evening, the two started chatting again.

Wang Zuxian did not pay attention to the box office of The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly, but she contributed another wave of box office to the movie during this period.

One night, she finished work relatively early. She and Chen Derong went to see another show together and bought a Piano Boy record.

Are you very good at playing the piano?

There was a photo of Zhou Yan sitting in front of the piano on the record, which left a deep impression on Wang Zuxian.

Zhou Yan shook his head and said, I majored in bamboo flute and minored in violin and piano. In total, piano should be ranked third.

That should be pretty awesome. Wang Zuxian lay lazily on the chair and looked sideways at Zhou Yan, I'd really like to see you play the piano if I have the chance.

Zhou Yan smiled and said, Don't tell me, I haven't played the piano for a few days, and my hands are a little itchy.

That's the only thing that sucks about learning piano. It's very inconvenient to practice when you're away from home.

This time Zhou Yan came to Xiangjiang and brought his bamboo flute and violin with him. He already felt a little burdened, and he couldn't even think about the piano.

Wang Zuxian tilted his head and thought for a while, then suddenly said, How about we change to a restaurant tonight. Since we all came to Xiangjiang, instead of eating Anhui cuisine, I will take you to eat Cantonese food.

Zhou Yan didn't expect Wang Zuxian to suddenly change the topic back to eating, but he didn't have any opinions on what to eat. If Wang Zuxian wanted to eat Cantonese food, he had nothing to do with it. He nodded and said, No problem, you can write me the address later.

good.

…

When the filming here was almost done, the two of them left the set one after another.

After Zhou Yan returned to the hotel, he gave the driver the address of the Cantonese restaurant. At six o'clock, they drove to the restaurant.

The restaurant Wang Zuxian mentioned was indeed not far from the hotel where Zhou Yan and the others stayed, less than two kilometers in total.

This restaurant is small and quite exquisite, but there are no private rooms and everyone sits in the lobby.

Wang Zuxian set a large table near the corner, which was quite spacious for the three of them to sit on.

After meeting.

The Zhou Jiajun all greeted Wang Zuxian, Hello, sister Xiaoxian.

Because Zhou Yan had greeted them in advance, their voices were very low and did not attract the attention of others.

Wang Zuxian wore only light makeup tonight, her long hair was down, and she also wore a peaked cap. The most amazing thing is that she also wore tortoiseshell glasses. It's hard to recognize her unless you look carefully.

After ordering, Zhou Yan asked, Do you come to this restaurant often?

I've been here a few times and it feels good. I quite like the environment here.

Well, the environment is quite good.

Zhou Yan looked around the hall. When the round was about to end, he suddenly saw a piano placed in the back. He raised his eyebrows, looked at Wang Zuxian, and said with a smile, You can't It’s probably because I said my hands were itchy that I chose this place.”

After all, the two of them just talked about this matter this afternoon, so of course Zhou Yan would think about it this way.

Wang Zuxian smiled and said, The main thing is that I've been listening to the song Reunion every day recently and I feel like I'm getting high, so I also want to hear you as a songwriter play it. Will it give you a different feeling?

Can I play this piano?

Yes. Wang Zuxian nodded, I have seen other guests play it before, just go over.

Zhou Yan nodded, Okay, while I'm waiting for the food, I'll go have some fun.

Upon hearing that Zhou Yan was going to play the piano, his brothers and sisters became excited and applauded him quietly.

Third brother, come on.

Wang Zuxian also followed their example, clenching his fists and saying to Zhou Yan, Third brother, come on.

When he heard Wang Zuxian calling him third brother, Zhou Yan smiled, got up and walked towards the piano.

After sitting down, Zhou Yan briefly tried the piano.

The sound quality of this piano is average, but the tone is accurate. Normally, the boss should take care of it.

After a brief audition, Zhou Yan did not play the song Reunion immediately, but played Secret Joy first.

When Zhou Yan was auditioning just now, many people looked over in the hall. Someone playing the piano was something that attracted attention.

When the cheerful melody of Happiness sounded, the guests also smiled, not only because this melody was particularly cheerful, but also because the piano player sounded professional at first glance. They were lucky to hear a free concert today. Performance.

But at this time, the two girls at the table near the door looked surprised.

One of the girls with short hair asked her companion, Wenwen, is this song from The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly?

Wenwen listened carefully and then nodded, Yes.

I didn't expect that someone would play the music from the movie so quickly. It seems that a lot of people have watched the movie.

It's really fast. Wenwen leaned forward and looked in the direction of the piano, It's a boy.

Does it look good?

It's a bit far away, so I can't see clearly.

It must be good-looking. Anyone who plays the piano is good-looking.

Wenwen pouted, Chen Changrong from our department can also play the piano, and he seems to be very good at it.

Chen Changrong is a special case.

Why don't you take a closer look? Maybe it's Chen Changrong.

It can't be Chen Changrong. He's not that thin and he's not that tall.

The two chatted for a while without thinking much. They just thought it was a coincidence that they met someone who had also watched The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly.

After Secret Joy ended, the second song was from The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly. It was the song about the male protagonist meeting the female protagonist on a rainy day.
