1990: Starting from Baojia Street

The next morning, Zhou Yan called Liang Yu.

Liang Yu was reading information. When the phone on the table rang, he picked it up and said, Hello, hello.

Zhou Yan's voice rang on the phone, Chief Liang, this is Zhou Yan.

Hearing that it was Zhou Yan, Liang Yu smiled and put down the information, Zhou Yan, I didn't expect you to call me back so soon. Comrade Zhang Youan has already told you about the matter, right?

Well, he told me that the Olympic bid promotional video project is about to start. Zhou Yan replied.

Yes, preparations have begun now. It is expected to start filming by the end of this year or early next year at the latest. There will be a total of two promotional videos shot in two stages. The first promotional video will be filmed before March next year. The other filming will be completed before July. Liang Yu gave Zhou Yan some detailed plan information.

Zhou Yan on the other end of the phone nodded. It sounds like the production time is actually quite generous. When doing things in an organization, he likes to be the first to do the preparations so long in advance.

Zhou Yan thought for a while and inquired, Has Director Greenspan revealed any specific ideas for this promotional video and how he plans to shoot it?

Liang Yu said with a smile, Not yet. It was actually Greenspan who took the initiative to take over the job this time. He communicated with Chairman He. Chairman He meant that on the basis of showing China's modernization, try to embody China's traditional features.”

Then Liang Yu added, Of course, when embodying traditional characteristics, we must also pay attention to the differences between China and foreign countries, and don't talk to ourselves.

Liang Yu didn't say it very straightforwardly, but Zhou Yan already knew what he meant. In fact, he still wanted the style of the promotional video to be close to the international one. Otherwise, there would be no need to pay special attention to the differences between China and foreign countries when reflecting Chinese characteristics.

When will Director Greenspan go to Yanjing? Zhou Yan asked again.

The specific time has not been determined yet, but he will definitely come in September or October, and the next time should be when the official filming begins. After answering Zhou Yan's question, Liang Yu said a few more words, Greenspan is well-known in the field of sports film and television. This time he took the initiative to take over the job, so we agreed. As for whether his works are suitable for China and Yanjing, there are still doubts for the time being. In September and October We must meet, and you can have a good chat then.

Well, I understand.

From Liang Yu's words, Zhou Yan could tell that it seemed that the Yanjing Olympics Bidding Committee was not particularly reassured about Greenspan, and the reason why he was chosen was due to some considerations of canvassing votes.

Then Liang Yu said to Zhou Yan, You can use some snacks for this Olympic bid promotional video. After the Olympic bid is successful, there will still be many films to be shot, and there will be a lot of soundtracks.

Liang Yu said this not to criticize Zhou Yan, but because he was still confident in this Olympic bid, because he knew that they had made adequate preparations for this Olympic bid.

There is a lot of work, and the Olympic Bid Committee has already done it in advance. Although the Olympic Games are still a year away, Yanjing has made sure that many votes can be obtained.

Zhou Yan also heard Liang Yu's confidence, but this confidence may eventually turn into disappointment. The greater the hope at this time, the greater the disappointment later.

Zhou Yan doesn’t know the specific reasons why this Olympic bid failed. He is not optimistic that he can change the result by adding a few good songs to the promotional video.

Liang Yu also knew that Zhou Yan was busy in Xiangjiang recently, so he made an appointment with Zhou Yan to wait until Zhou Yan returned to Yanjing from Xiangjiang to meet again.

…

After talking to Liang Yu on the phone, Zhou Yan rushed to the filming site. There was a scene with him today, but the scene was not complicated. It was the first time Xu Xian went to the small courtyard where Bai Suzhen and the others lived, and it was just him drinking in the house. Tea drama.

As for the scenes of drying clothes and meeting a Taoist priest outside in the rain, they will be filmed tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

In fact, the audience watched these scenes together, but the on-site shooting was separated and the time was disrupted.

When he arrived at the scene, Zhou Yan went to change clothes and put on makeup. The whole process took an hour and a half, but the actual shooting only took less than an hour in total.

Costume dramas are more troublesome in this regard. At the end of the day, the shooting time may only be one or two hours, but the makeup and makeup removal take two to three hours combined.

After the scene ended, Tsui Hark was also very satisfied. He had reserved three hours for the shooting of this scene, and now it was completed in one hour. The efficiency was greatly improved, and they still had time to find other shots.

Director Zhou's acting skills are getting better and better now.

When Zhou Yan and Wang Zuxian were resting, Tsui Hark couldn't help coming over and complimenting them. This was not a compliment, but a sincere statement.

During this period of filming, Tsui Hark could clearly feel that Zhou Yan was more relaxed than before. When encountering some emergencies on site, he could handle them better than before.

Wang Zuxian said with a smile, The third brother doesn't usually film, and he won't be idle. Of course he is making rapid progress.

Tsui Hark smiled and nodded, The weather is good tomorrow. Let's shoot the rain scene. If Director Zhou has time, you can do a couple of scenes first.

no problem.

When Tsui Hark left, Wang Zuxian turned sideways and said, Third brother, I will go to your place to play in the evening and have a tea party with you. Is that okay?

Wang Zuxian was chatting with Lao Jiu and the others these days, and often heard Lao Jiu mention their evening tea party, so he was particularly curious and wanted to see it.

Zhou Yan didn't care about himself, but he looked at Wang Zuxian and asked, Is it convenient for you? Aren't you afraid of being photographed?

What are you afraid of? Most people can't find me, and as long as we don't appear at the same time, even if we are photographed, those reporters can't write anything.

Hearing what she said, Zhou Yan nodded, Okay, when will you go and will you have dinner with us?

Let's go after dinner. Wang Zuxian smiled, and then said, Play the flute to me tonight. Didn't Jiumei say you brought a bamboo flute?

Okay. Zhou Yan nodded in agreement.

Can I play the song in the easter egg of The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly?

You said Ode to the Lotus.

In the Easter egg of The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly, Zhou Yan plays Ode to the Lotus, which can be regarded as a dream linkage with Raise the Red Lantern.

This piece of music was originally called Ode to the Lotus. Wang Zuxian rested his arm on the armrest of the chair and supported his chin with his hand. Why was it named this way? Is there any allusion to it?

Because it is a song from Raise the Red Lantern, and the heroine of that movie is named Songlian. Zhou Yan explained.

It turns out it was written for the heroine. Wang Zuxian poked his head towards Zhou Yan again, looking at Zhou Yan with dazzling eyes, Then will you write a song for the heroine this time?

Wang Zuxian's makeup was half removed, and her face was red and purple, like a messy painting, but in such a painting, her eyes were shining.

Zhou Yan even had a feeling that it was precisely because of the messy color on her face that the brightness of her eyes was highlighted, and most of her emotions at the moment could only be conveyed through these eyes.

They looked at each other for seven or eight seconds, and neither of them spoke. Then they both reacted. Zhou Yan withdrew his gaze, and Wang Zuxian also sat upright.

Zhou Yan coughed slightly, Ahem, I have only written one song for the soundtrack of Green Snake, Nightingale, and I haven't written the other songs yet. I don't have an idea yet whether I want to write a song for the heroine.

The main reason is that from filming to now, Zhou Yan has not met another composer Huang Zhan, so it is difficult to do too much.

Although one of them writes movie songs and the other writes movie soundtracks, which seems to have a clear division of labor, in fact they still have to discuss it together and try to match the style of the songs with the soundtrack.

In addition, the two of them must discuss where to play the songs directly and where to play the soundtrack. If Zhou Yan puts in all the soundtrack in advance, Huang Zhan will most likely have objections later.

Huang Zhan went abroad some time ago and it seems he hasn't come back yet. However, Tsui Hark communicated with Huang Zhan before and Huang Zhan will come back before September.

In fact, the main reason is that Tsui Hark is more anxious, while Zhou Yan is not too anxious. Anyway, he can write the soundtrack at any time. If Huang Zhan really doesn't come, he can even write the movie songs for him.

Hearing that Zhou Yan did not have the idea of ​​​​writing a song specifically for the heroine, Wang Zuxian was slightly disappointed, but she still smiled and said, Maybe after the movie is finished, there will be one...

Just as Wang Zuxian was speaking, her assistant Xiao Shi walked in with a man about forty years old.

Sister Xiaoxian, Director Hong is here.

Wang Zuxian stood up with a smile and said hello to the man, Hello, Director Hong. Could you please run to the crew?

Director Hong pushed up his glasses and said with a smile, No trouble, no trouble. Miss Wang is a big star and is very busy every day. It's not easy to have time to see me.

Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows when he heard the man speak. He spoke Mandarin, but it was not particularly standard. He had a slight Jianghuai Mandarin accent. This accent is generally used in the central areas of Hui Province and Jiangsu Province.

For example, the dialect spoken by Zhou Yan and his family in Jinling is Jianghuai Mandarin.

This person is from the mainland, and based on Wang Zuxian's situation, this person is most likely from Shucheng, Wang Zuxian's hometown.

Wang Zuxian smiled and introduced Zhou Yan, Third brother, this is Director Hong from Shucheng, my hometown.

She did not introduce Director Hong's specific position because she actually couldn't remember it.

Hearing Wang Zuxian call Zhou Yan third brother, Hong Mao raised his eyebrows in surprise. Why does this third brother look younger than Wang Zuxian?

Hong Mao couldn't help but wonder, is this third brother a title in the world?

There are many societies in Xiangjiang, and Hong Mao has heard about them for a long time.

Hong Mao was really a little frightened when he thought that this third brother might be the prince of the club. He forced out a smile and said proactively, Hello, third brother, I am Hong Mao.

His third brother made Zhou Yan laugh, Director Hong, don't call me that, I can't bear it. My name is Zhou Yan, you can just call me by my name, or you can call me Xiao Zhou.

Hong Mao was stunned again when he heard that Zhou Yan's Mandarin was even more standard than him. This level of Mandarin didn't sound like he was from Xiangjiang.

Are you from the mainland?

At this time, Wang Zuxian introduced Hong Mao, This is my partner in the play. He is from Jinling.

Upon hearing that Zhou Yan was from Jinling, Hong Mao immediately let go, walked over and shook Zhou Yan's hand, Hello, hello.

Hello.

After a few words of greeting, Zhou Yan smiled and said, If you want to talk about something, I'll go out first.

Wang Zuxian smiled and waved his hand, No, third brother, we have nothing special to do. Director Hong came here to talk to me about returning home during the Mid-Autumn Festival. I told you last time when I was in Taiwan, a letter from my hometown. Said he wanted me to go back.

Zhou Yan asked with a smile, Have you decided to go back?

Yes. Wang Zuxian nodded, Director Hong came here this time to discuss the itinerary with me.

Hong Mao said, The county government attaches great importance to Miss Wang's return to her hometown, so they specially sent me to discuss the itinerary. We will do our best to meet Miss Wang's needs.

Director Hong, it's not that exaggerated. I just went back to my hometown to have a look. If you want to cooperate, I will definitely cooperate with your work.

Miss Wang was joking...

Wang Zuxian and Hong Mao chatted for a while in the rest room. Wang Zuxian took off his makeup and changed clothes, and then they left together. After all, this was not the place to talk about things.

When leaving, Wang Zuxian even said hello to Zhou Yan, Third brother, let's leave first.

She originally wanted to say see you in the evening to Zhou Yan, but after thinking about it, she felt that it would be too easy for others to misunderstand, especially since this was the first time Hong Mao and Zhou Yan met.

After Wang Zuxian left, Zhou Yan first went to play with Ma Jingwu.

Ma Jingwu is currently chatting with two children in the yard.

It's a little difficult for us to communicate, but it doesn't matter. You can just watch my gestures when the time comes. For example, in this scene...

Ma Jingwu is from New Province and has been in Yanjing all year round. He speaks standard Mandarin. The two children are young actors who will play his apprentices. They don't seem to speak Mandarin very well, so Ma Jingwu said that communication is troublesome.

As a teacher, Ma Jingwu had an occupational disease and had to train the two children well. So since Zhou Yan and the others started filming inside today, Ma Jingwu has been teaching the two children how to act in the subsequent scenes.

When Ma Jingwu spoke, Zhou Yan walked over and said with a smile, Teacher Ma, you are busy.

Ma Jingwu turned to look at Zhou Yan and said with a smile, Zhou Yan, have you finished filming today?

Well, after the filming is over, Director Xu asked me to come over and act opposite you.

Ma Jingwu was quite happy when he heard that Zhou Yan was going to play the opposite role. At least there was no difficulty in communicating with Zhou Yan, and they had worked together before... To be precise, Zhou Yan had played Ma Jingwu's son.

Ma Jingwu previously played Mr. Chen in Raise the Red Lantern, and Zhou Yan played Chen Feipu. They are a father and son.

It's just that Ma Jingwu basically didn't show his face in Raise the Red Lantern, so many people didn't know that Mr. Chen was played by Ma Jingwu.

Previously on the set of Raise the Red Lantern, Zhou Yan didn't have much contact with Ma Jingwu, but they usually looked up and didn't see each other, and they talked to each other many times.

Ma Jingwu just arrived a few days ago. He knows very few people here in Xiangjiang. The one he knows best in the entire crew is Zhou Yan, so he is usually willing to talk to Zhou Yan more.

Okay, okay, I'm telling a play to them too, let's go together. Ma Jingwu said with a smile.

Zhou Yan nodded and discussed tomorrow's scene with Ma Jingwu.

The first half of tomorrow will still be about the three of you, master and apprentice, so we won't discuss it much. It will start from when I came... Now let's go to the door.

Then the four of them arrived at the door. Zhou Yan and Ma Jingwu took the script and began to plan tomorrow's moves.

Halfway through, Zhou Yan said to the two children: What do you two think?

The two chattered a lot.

Ma Jingwu didn't understand a word, but after all, Zhou Yan stayed in Xiangjiang for a short period of time and could vaguely understand a little bit.

Seeing this, Ma Jingwu wanted to use hand gestures to communicate with them, but Zhou Yan narrowed his eyes and said, If you two don't speak Mandarin, go home now. You won't be needed in this scene.

Hearing Zhou Yan's words, the three masters and disciples were stunned, especially Ma Jingwu, who never expected that Zhou Yan would say such words.

In Ma Jingwu's impression, Zhou Yan had a very good temper and would not make things difficult for others at all.

Could it be that because he is more famous now than before, his temper has become louder?

Thinking of this, Ma Jingwu frowned and said, Zhou Yan, they are just children. Why make things difficult for them? Mandarin cannot be learned in a short while. And after all, we are in Xiangjiang. Logically speaking, we must learn Cantonese.

Zhou Yan explained, Teacher Ma, you don't know the situation...

Before he finished speaking, the two children started to explain with innocent faces. Although they couldn't understand what they said, the general meaning was that they really couldn't speak Mandarin.

Seeing them like this, Ma Jingwu also sighed and said, Zhou Yan, I think let's forget about it...

Zhou Yan raised his hand and interrupted Ma Jingwu, Teacher Ma, you don't know the situation. These two boys can speak Mandarin.

Ah? Ma Jingwu was stunned.

He glanced at the two innocent-looking boys and then at Zhou Yan, not knowing who to believe.

Zhou Yan didn't explain much, just said I'll go find Director Xu to find actors again, and then walked inside.

When the two boys saw that Zhou Yan was serious, they quickly ran over and grabbed Zhou Yan's clothes, Third brother, third brother, I'm sorry.

They used Mandarin this time, and their pronunciation was pretty good.

Of course Zhou Yan is not an unreasonable person. He knows that these two children can speak Mandarin, but they and Ma Jingwu do not speak Mandarin. This is obviously intentional. How could Zhou Yan tolerate this situation?

Hearing their Mandarin, Ma Jingwu's old face turned red with anger. He had been begging for mercy for the two guys just now, but he didn't expect that they had been lying to him.

you--

I'm sorry, Teacher Ma, we were just joking with you, we didn't really mean to lie to you.

Ma Jingwu's heart softened again after being begged by two children. He looked at Zhou Yan and said, Otherwise, let's spare them this time.

Seeing how soft-hearted Ma Jingwu was, Zhou Yan frowned. If he had his way, even if he didn't fire the two boys, it would be inevitable for Tsui Hark to give them a scolding.

Teacher Ma, you have to think clearly. They have more scenes with you. It doesn't matter to me, because I don't have many scenes with them.

Ma Jingwu pondered for a moment, then said, I'll spare them this time, and they really know they were wrong.

Seeing what Ma Jingwu said, Zhou Yan didn't say anything else, but he secretly made up his mind to have less contact with Ma Jingwu in the future. This guy is too soft-hearted and will definitely suffer in the future. Don't bring him with you when the time comes.

Okay, let's continue playing.

During the subsequent play, the two children spoke Mandarin honestly throughout the whole process, and looked at Zhou Yan from time to time, for fear that Zhou Yan would find fault with them, but they were not afraid of Ma Jingwu because they taught him that Ma Jingwu was a good old man.

Zhou Yan has seen quite a few of these children.

The school where Zhou Yan taught before had higher unified admission scores, so the overall quality of the students admitted was higher, and there were fewer difficult students, but there were always a few in each grade.

For ordinary students, even if they are a bit naughty, speaking kindly to them will still be effective. But for these students, it is useless to be gentle with them. You must give them some means to make them afraid.

In fact, when he was in school, Zhou Yan's advice for this kind of children was to rescue them appropriately and give them up in time.

Many young teachers have ideals and pursuits. When they meet such children, they seem to see their mission and want to use their love to influence them, but in fact the effect is very poor.

Perhaps some children were really influenced, but the teacher also ignored many other children.

Zhou Yan believes that their mission is to take care of most children, and they should not waste too much time on such children. Some people may not be willing to accept it, but doing so is good for most children.

After roughly planning tomorrow's scene, Zhou Yan also called it a day and went home.

…

At about 7:20 in the evening, Zhou Yan was reading a movie magazine when he heard a knock on the door.

Who? Zhou Yan asked.

Me. Wang Zuxian's voice came from outside the door.

Zhou Yan walked over and opened the door. Wang Zuxian was standing outside the door carrying two bags of things.

Tonight, Wang Zuxian wore a blue dress and a pair of white sandals. Perhaps for disguise, he also wore a casual beach hat. He looked very refreshing.

Hurry and help me carry it. Wang Zuxian directly stuffed the two packages into Zhou Yan's hands.

After taking it, Zhou Yan felt his hand sink.

What's in there that's so heavy?

Some drinks and snacks. Since it's a tea party, of course we can't eat or drink less.

Zhou Yan smiled and said, You are really prepared.

After Wang Zuxian entered the room, he looked around and asked curiously, Where are Jiu Mei and the others?

Zhou Yan raised his hand and looked at his watch, It should be there soon.

During the meal, Zhou Yan made an appointment with them to gather in his room at 7:30. Under normal circumstances, they would knock on the door on time, and they would not miss a beat, because they neither wanted to disturb Zhou Yan nor waste time.

Just in time to put things away before they come.

As he spoke, Wang Zuxian took the drinks and snacks out of the bag and carefully arranged them into a nice shape. Zhou Yan discovered that there was beer inside, and there were several bottles.

After everything was arranged, Zhou Yan looked at his watch again. It was already 7:31. Logically speaking, Zhou Jiajun should have arrived.

Wait a moment, I'll go find them.

Wang Zuxian smiled and said, Let's do it together.

Zhou Yan nodded, and then the two of them went to the room where Lao Sizhou Qian and Jiumei lived. They knocked on the door, but no one answered. Then he knocked on the other two rooms.

When he knocked on the third one, he found a note posted on the door that said Third Brother personally opens it.

Zhou Yan took down the note. On the back of the note was a paragraph written by Zhou Qing, which meant that they wanted to go out for a walk tonight, so they asked Brother Jie to take them out for a walk.

After reading the contents of the note, Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows. It was hard for him to believe that this was actually done by his younger brothers and sisters. When did they become so bold and dare to leave without saying goodbye?

The Jie mentioned in the letter is their driver and bodyguard Liao Jie.

Wang Zuxian smiled and said, It doesn't matter, let them go out to play. I guess they have been suppressed these days. With Liao Jie here, there should be no problem.

Zhou Yan was still worried, so he called Liao Jie again when he returned to the room to make sure they were just wandering around, and told them to come back early.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yan turned to look at Wang Zuxian. She had already opened a bottle of beer and was drinking it.

Seeing Zhou Yan looking at him, Wang Zuxian smiled and said, Do you drink beer or juice?

Zhou Yan's eyes wandered between juice and beer for a while, and finally chose beer.

After taking a sip, Zhou Yan apologized, I'm so sorry to let you go.

No, aren't you still here? The two of us can also have a tea party... No, it should be a cocktail party. Wang Zuxian raised the beer in his hand and took off the beach hat on his head, revealing his beautiful black hair. Long hair.

It's a good thing you brought beer, otherwise we would have drank juice together. Zhou Yan smiled and asked about what happened during the day, Are you sure about returning home?

That's almost it. Actually, there's nothing to talk about. I agree with the itinerary they listed.

Going back during the Mid-Autumn Festival?

Well, let's go back during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Wang Zuxian nodded and said with a smile, Jinling is not far from Shucheng, right. If you have time then, you can come and visit me.

Why didn't you go to Jinling to play with me? Zhou Yan said casually in a hurry.

Wang Zuxian smiled and said, That's not impossible. If you still have time, it would be nice to take a trip to Jinling.

Okay, if you want to go, tell me in advance and I will make arrangements for you.

Do you consider this an invitation to me? Wang Zuxian asked.

Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows and said, Forget it, of course.

Wang Zuxian smiled and said, Then I'll think about it.

You can think about it, I'm always here for you.

…

Both of them have good drinking capacity. After drinking a few bottles of beer, not only did they not feel drunk, but they also aroused their alcohol addiction. Even Zhou Yan, who usually doesn't like drinking, wanted to take a few sips tonight.

During this period, the hotel and the crew traveled back and forth between two o'clock and one line every day. Even if Zhou Yan was interested in film shooting, he would occasionally feel bored. After all, many times he could not start filming and could only watch from the side.

There's no more wine. Wang Zuxian put down the last empty bottle and said with a smile, How about we drink juice?

There was a hint of playful provocation in her eyes.

Leave the juice to Qianqian and the others. Zhou Yan smiled, picked up the phone, and asked the hotel for some wine.

This time Zhou Yan didn't ask for beer, but some whiskey and ice.

If there is a choice, Zhou Yan would like a bottle of Maotai. Compared to other wines, Zhou Yan likes the taste of Maotai. Unfortunately, the hotel does not have it and it would be too slow for them to go out and buy it.

After opening the wine, the two sat on the soft cloth sofa by the window, chatting while looking at the Victoria Harbor outside the window.

When he was halfway through a bottle of whiskey, Wang Zuxian suddenly patted his head and said, I almost forgot something.

Zhou Yan turned to look at her, What's the matter?

I remember you wanted to play the flute for me, right? Now that you've drunk, can you still do it?

Zhou Yan waved his hand, There's nothing wrong with it.

He stood up and found his bamboo flute, then put the membrane on it, and then said with a smile, You want to listen to Ode to the Lotus, right?

Wang Zuxian nodded.

Zhou Yan smiled, raised the flute, and started playing.

But as soon as the sound of the flute came out, Wang Zuxian's pretty face wrinkled.

This... is too unpleasant to hear.

The sound of the bamboo flute was originally supposed to be crisp and melodious, but the sound played by Zhou Yan sounded like a rooster's crow... No, it was worse than a rooster's crow. It was like the sound made by a cassette player playing music and finally running out of power.

Seeing Wang Zuxian put on the mask of pain, Zhou Yan said with a smile, I made a mistake just now, let's try again.

After that, he raised his hand and started playing again.

This time, there was no problem. The melodious melody slowly came out from the flute without any noise or trembling.

Knowing that Zhou Yan had deliberately teased him just now, Wang Zuxian rolled his eyes at Zhou Yan.

But soon, she was immersed in the melodious sound of the flute.

Because no one had played the flute to her face to face like this before, she didn't know what Zhou Yan's level was, but all comparisons were meaningless at this time. There may be better flute sounds in the world, but at this moment, the lingering feeling What was in her ears was what Zhou Yan played for her.

After staring at Zhou Yan for a while, Wang Zuxian smiled and then looked out the window.

Victoria Harbor is very interesting at night. Although the windows are closed, you can still hear the wind outside.

The sound of the wind carried the sound of the flute and slowly flew towards Victoria Harbor in the distance. Wang Zuxian's thoughts gradually followed the two sounds and drifted into the distance. When they reached a place that was almost out of her reach, it seemed that they were hit back by a wave of waves. , and finally returned to this room.

Wang Zuxian suddenly felt that tonight, the sound of Zhou Yan's flute belonged to Victoria Harbor, and the sound of Victoria Harbor also belonged to Zhou Yan's flute.

In the past, Joey Wong would not have any special emotions when seeing Victoria Harbor, but in the future, when she sees Victoria Harbor again, she will think of the sound of the flute tonight.

After Wang Zuxian's thoughts came back, a song Ode to the Lotus had been played.

Wang Zuxian raised his glass and said, Thank you.

You're welcome. Zhou Yan smiled, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

Wang Zuxian looked at Zhou Yan and asked curiously, What is your usual state of composing music?

Nothing special.

Is that so? I thought you artists would be in some special state when you are creating, just like the poet Li Bai. Didn't he write hundreds of poems about drinking? After drinking, will you be more passionate about creation?

Zhou Yan shook his head, I don't know much about other people. Anyway, the people around me basically don't do creative work after drinking... At most, I will be inspired the next day after drinking, or I will be inspired by seeing others drinking. .”

Watching other people drinking will give you inspiration?

Whether you can get inspiration from watching other people drink depends on how that person behaves after drinking.

Wang Zuxian sat up straight, Then if you see me like this, can you get inspiration?

You have a better capacity for drinking. There is no big difference between drinking and not drinking.

So, are you trying to persuade him to drink? Wang Zuxian smiled and raised his glass to Zhou Yan.

The two started a new round of fighting.

Wang Zuxian has a good drinking capacity, but he is still a little behind Zhou Yan. After drinking a bottle of whiskey, Wang Zuxian's eyes became a little blurry.

But at this time, she did not forget what she just said. She stared at Zhou Yan and asked, Now, do you have any creative inspiration?

Zhou Yan teased her with a smile: A little bit.

How much is one point?

Zhou Yan pinched a small gap with his thumb and index finger, and said in front of Wang Zuxian, Just a little bit.

Wang Zuxian leaned over and stared at the small gap. She could see Zhou Yan's eyes through the gap. With a drunken look on her face, she reached out and pulled her two fingers apart, making the gap bigger and at the same time making Zhou Yan's whole face His face was revealed before her eyes.

Isn't this big?

Well, it's big. Zhou Yan nodded.

Is it possible to create then?

Zhou Yan picked up the flute with a smile, I'll give it a try.

Wang Zuxian looked at Zhou Yan expectantly, but what he heard was another crow sound.

She couldn't help but patted Zhou Yan on the shoulder, Third brother, you are teasing me again.

Okay, I won't tease you anymore.

Zhou Yan picked up the flute again and took a deep breath. After drinking some wine, his thoughts began to wander. Just staring at the Victoria Harbor in front of him, he thought a lot. He thought about how he came to this world and how he came to be. Step by step to get to where we are today.

He thought again of the people in his original world, his family, friends, students... The thoughts that were usually buried deep in his heart also emerged under the influence of alcohol.

When he talked about playing the flute just now, he thought of a piece of music - Longing Through Time and Space, which was just right for him to play at this time.

When Missing Through Time played, Wang Zuxian's blurred eyes revealed a glimmer of light. This piece of music was more catchy than the one just now, but it sounded a little sad, and the melody seemed to contain a sense of separation.

She looked at Zhou Yan and couldn't move her eyes away.

It must have been the effect of alcohol. Wang Zuxian rubbed his face, trying to wake himself up, but then he couldn't help but look at Zhou Yan.

The music is sad, but Wang Zuxian's heart gradually becomes eager.

When Zhou Yan finished playing a piece of music, he turned around and saw Wang Zuxian's eyes.

Is this really a song that just came out? she asked.

Zhou Yan did not answer directly, but smiled and said, Besides me, you are the first to hear this song.

For Wang Zuxian, this answer is enough.

Wang Zuxian took a deep breath, then looked at the door, Jiu Mei and the others haven't come back yet.

Zhou Yan didn't know why Wang Zuxian suddenly mentioned Lao Jiu and the others, nodded and said, Yeah, I don't know when he will come back.

At this time Wang Zuxian laughed again, They probably won't come to your side again. After all, they were instructed by someone.

Someone's instructions?

Jiu Mei and the others listened to you so much, but they went out without telling you. Don't you think this is a flaw? Wang Zuxian said with a smile.

Ah? Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows. Did this girl misunderstand something... Although it seemed to be quite misunderstanding, it was all Lao Jiu's fault.

At this moment, Wang Zuxian had already leaned his whole body in front of Zhou Yan, Actually, you don't have to go to such trouble. If you just say that you want to meet me alone, I will agree.

I don't know whether it was because of the drunkenness or affection, Wang Zuxian's face was flushed and her eyes were blurred. Her face was getting closer and closer to Zhou Yan, and when they were about to touch each other, they suddenly stopped.

Kiss me! After saying that, Wang Zuxian closed his eyes.

The fire in Zhou Yan's body had been stirred up just now. Looking at the red lips in front of him, Zhou Yan could no longer restrain himself and kissed them directly.

After that, Zhou Yan turned around and pressed Wang Zuxian against the back of the sofa, attacking crazily. This time the kiss was different from the previous filming, it was more passionate, and Zhou Yan was more proactive.

Wang Zuxian kept his eyes closed and responded enthusiastically to Zhou Yan's attack.

As they kissed, Zhou Yan's hands began to be dishonest, trying to pull the button of Wang Zuxian's skirt at the back of his neck. But as soon as his hands touched the back of Wang Zuxian's neck, he heard several knocks on the door.

Boom, boom, boom!

Third brother, we are back.

Lao Jiu's voice came from outside.

Zhou Yan and Wang Zuxian were startled and quickly got up from the sofa.
