1990: Starting from Baojia Street

Zhou Yan stayed on the set until four o'clock in the afternoon. While the scene was being adjusted, Zhou Yan left the yard and went outside to get some fresh air.

Zhao Lao also came, Brother Yan, don't you want to read it?

We are dispatching at the moment. There is nothing interesting to see. I will take a walk inside the castle. Is there anything to see around here?

No, everything around here is basically the same. When I first came here, I often climbed to the top of the city gate tower to look far away. It was quite interesting, but after looking at it, I felt bored.

Zhou Yan smiled and said, No matter how good the scenery is, it will remain the same after looking at it for a long time. And you are from Chang'an, so the landforms here are not too strange to you.

The landforms in Shaanxi Province are not very different from those in Yinchuan. When southerners come here, they will feel very strange. It is rare to see such a flat wilderness in the south.

And the mountains here are very different from the mountains in the south.

The wilderness here is different from the Central Plains, and seems more extensive.

When Zhou Yan heard what Zhao Zhang said, he gave up the idea of ​​going out and ran to the top of the South Gate City.

The sun was quite bright at the moment, so Zhou Yan would not stand up to the sun like Lu Shuming. He found a place to sit in the shadow of the archery tower and looked at the scenery in the distance.

Looking into the distance is something that makes people feel physically and mentally happy. The farther you look, the farther your mind jumps.

There are twenty or thirty families of herdsmen inside Zhenbei Castle. In the open space outside the castle, you can still see groups of sheep grazing, and some children playing near the sheep.

Zhou Yan closed his eyes, feeling the wind blowing in the wilderness at dusk, and then asked Zhao Zhang, Have you ever returned home during this time?

I just came here not long ago. Let's go back after a while.

Zhou Yan nodded. Parents look forward to their children coming back every day, but how many young people are thinking about going home every day?

In fact, Zhao Jiping and the others are also very conflicted. They want their children to be closer to them, but they also want to let their children have more adventures outside.

I'm afraid that he won't be able to fly high, and I'm afraid that his wings will break.

Have you fallen behind on your usual schoolwork?

Speaking of his schoolwork, Zhao Qi proudly said, No, I keep working on it every day.

That's not so hard. Just relax and be civilized and martial. When you reach your age, you have to start seeing the world. Music cannot be limited to five lines.

Well, I understand, so I especially cherish the opportunity to come to the set, see the world, and make money.

Zhou Yan smiled and nodded, then didn't speak anymore, just looked into the distance quietly. He likes to work with a traveling mentality. It doesn't matter whether he does his job well or not, the important thing is to be happy.

Although Zhao Lao was tired of seeing the scenery here, he sat beside him and was in a daze with Zhou Yan.

After sitting on the top of the city for more than an hour, Zhou Yan checked the time and prepared to go find something to eat. However, as soon as he stood up, he saw Zhou Xingchi and Liu Zhenwei walking up the steps.

When Zhou Yan saw them, Liu Zhenwei waved.

Zhou Yan is quite surprised. These two people are not filming on the set, so why are they here?

Director Liu, why are you here?

There is a night scene tonight. I will let them rest first and start shooting at eight o'clock. Liu Zhenwei said with a smile, then pointed at Zhou Xingchi and said, He is eager to listen to your new song.

Zhou Yan didn't expect Zhou Xingchi to be in such a hurry. He still wanted to wait until after dinner to find Zhou Xingchi.

He thought for a while and said to Zhao Lao, Go and get the erhu you brought.

Okay.

Zhao Lao replied, and then quickly ran down the city and towards his dormitory.

After he left, Zhou Yan said to Liu Zhenwei and the others, Let him pick it up so that you don't have to move.

Liu Zhenwei looked at the distance and said with a smile, The top of the city is also very good, suitable for listening to music. Zhou Xingchi and I usually encounter problems that we can't solve, so we like to come here to discuss them. Looking at this wilderness, we feel that our minds have opened up. .”

Zhou Xingchi was concerned about the music, Is this music specially written for the erhu? Is it the same style as The Street Where the Wind Lives?

The erhu is the main instrument, and the later orchestration may include other instruments such as the dongxiao. I didn't bring a flute, but I did have a big g flute, but the effect is not as good as the dongxiao and erhu.

In fact, Zhao Zhang brought a dongxiao player. This guy majored in piano and minored in dongxiao and erhu.

It's just that the dongxiao is played against one's mouth and is not suitable for sharing. The erhu doesn't have this problem. Moreover, the piece he is about to play is more suitable for the erhu. To a certain extent, it can also be regarded as a piece specially written for the erhu.

This time Zhou Yan composed the soundtrack for Journey to the West, mainly referring to several songs that Zhao Jiping had previously composed for this movie, as well as the soundtrack ideas in Journey to the West.

In the 1986 version of Journey to the West, Xu Jingqing's soundtrack used a large number of folk instruments, in which the erhu played an important role.

The erhu is very expressive, and many touching plots will be expressed using the erhu.

Combining the scores of Xu Jingqing and Zhao Jiping, Zhou Yan also decided to mainly use the erhu to score Westward Journey.

Zhou Yan and Xu Jingqing are considered acquaintances. Zhou Yan met Xu Jingqing at CCTV before and chatted briefly for a while. Zhou Yan shared with Xu Jingqing his thoughts on narrating The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and Xu Jingqing also shared with Zhou Yan his thoughts on narrating Journey to the West that year. ’s mental journey.

Looking at the sunset in the distance, Liu Zhenwei said with emotion, It's so beautiful. Every time I see the sunset in Zhenbei Castle, I feel very emotional.

I heard that the sunset over Shahu Lake is more beautiful. Zhou Xingchi said.

Well, let's go take a look in a few days.

Are you going to Shahu? Zhou Yan asked.

Liu Zhenwei nodded, There is a scene that needs to be shot on the lake. It would be best if there are reeds. They said that the Shahu Lake is very good, so I discussed with Zhou Xingchi to go there and have a look. It's not far anyway, it can be done in half a day. nailed it.

You can't see the sunset for half a day.

Director Zhou will come with us to take a look when the time comes?

Okay. Zhou Yan nodded. Since he came with a traveling mentality, he was naturally willing to see more of the natural scenery.

After a while, Zhao Zhang came over with his erhu.

He ran in a hurry and was still out of breath when he handed the erhu to Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan took over the erhu and tried it briefly, then found a place to sit down. Playing the erhu in such an environment reminded him of a scene when he was filming Raise the Red Lantern in Qiao's courtyard. During the day, he would sit on the second floor and play the flute every day.

In this flash, four years have passed.

After adjusting his posture, Zhou Yan said with a smile, This piece is a bit long, so you have to be patient.

No problem. When you hear good music, of course the longer it is, the better. Liu Zhenwei said.

After that, Zhou Yan said nothing and started playing.

It begins with a melodious melody, which has a eloquent feeling, fully demonstrating the unique charm of the erhu.

The structure of the introduction part is composed of two short sentences plus one long sentence. The tonality starts from D quotient. When the long sentences are repeated in parallel, there is a tendency to change the palace.

Zhao Lao couldn't help but be a little surprised, because this tonal change sounded like the style of Shaanxi music.

After the introduction, there is the first part of the piece, and this part is a four-line section, which revolves around the core theme taken from the introduction, and the tonality is based on the d-merchant key.

…

What surprised Zhao Lao was that this piece of music was very complex and difficult to perform. Some of the quick changes and jumps were beyond the control of ordinary people.

As a composer, Zhou Yan is naturally extraordinary.

But as an erhu player, he is very average, and even saying that he is generally praises him.

Therefore, Zhou Yan's performance of this piece was not satisfactory. There were many performance problems and he was not proficient in the use of technique.

Zhou Yan knew which technique to use in which section, how to move the bow, and how to change the handle, but he knew it, but he just couldn't make it right.

There are obvious signs of his bow change, and there are also big problems with the amplitude and frequency of the vibrato.

But these technical problems can be seen by insiders like Zhao Ji, but Liu Zhenwei and Zhou Xingchi cannot hear them at all.

As someone outside the industry, we can basically only tell the listenability of music. In layman’s terms, it means whether the melody is good or not.

It’s clear that this piece is both complex and highly listenable.

This piece is very long, a very rich narrative piece, and it is probably about love. The first part is beautiful, like love at first sight, the middle part is passionate and magnificent, and the second part becomes sad.

Zhenbei Fort was not big. Zhou Yan was playing the erhu on top of the city gate tower, and the sound was blown into Zhenbei Fort along with the wind. Many people in the fort looked over curiously.

Lu Shuming, Chen Hong and the others were chatting together and discussing the night show when they suddenly heard music coming from the city gate.

Chen Hong looked delighted, It must be Director Zhou.

Lu Shuming also nodded, It should be him.

sounds so good.

Lu Shuming looked at Chen Hong up and down, wondering if Chen Hong had thoughts about brother Zhou Yan.

He and Chen Hong had known each other before while filming Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but they didn't have much interaction, so they came to film Westward Journey together this time. Because they are both mainland actors, and Chen Hong also played his wife, they had a lot of exchanges. got up.

To say that Chen Hong is not interested in Zhou Yan, this song has just started playing. What can you hear? How can it be called good?

But it's normal to be interested in Zhou Yan. This guy is talented and good-looking. The filming of Water Margin is about to start recently. Zhou Yan is going to go, and he has to play Ximen Qing no matter what.

Before Zhou Yan played it, he told Liu Zhenwei and the others that the piece was quite long. Liu Zhenwei thought that even if it was long, it would only be seven or eight minutes, maybe ten minutes at most.

After all, this is a song written for a movie, so how long can it be?

But what Liu Zhenwei didn't expect was that Zhou Yan played for more than 20 minutes.

Liu Zhenwei didn't time it, but the whole piece was definitely over twenty minutes long.

He looked at Zhou Xingchi next to him. At this time, Zhou Xingchi had an expressionless face and showed no emotion at all.

But based on Liu Zhenwei's understanding of Zhou Xingchi, he must like this piece of music very much. The more expressionless he is, the more he expresses his amazement.

And this song is indeed worthy of admiration. It has a strong narrative and perfectly describes the love story between Sun Wukong and Fairy Zixia. This is definitely what Zhou Xingchi wants.

Especially towards the end, the sadness suddenly came up.

After the music was played, Zhou Yan sighed slightly. The effect of playing this music by himself was really unsatisfactory.

If replaced by Ma Dongfang, the erhu leader of their band, the effect would definitely be several steps better.

What he just played was actually not one piece of music, but a fusion of two pieces of music.

One is Fantasy Ballade by the famous modern erhu master Wang Jianmin, and the other is The Journey to the West is Long and Long written by Zhao Jiping for Westward Journey.

In fact, Zhao Wei and Liu Zhenwei felt right. This is indeed a large-scale narrative song depicting love. When Wang Jianmin wrote this song, he referred to Bai Juyi's Song of Everlasting Sorrow.

The four stages of first meeting, falling in love, separation, and longing are the process of a general love story. Looking at the outside world, most classic love stories can be summarized by these four stages.

The emotions in the middle and later parts of Journey to the West and Fantasy Ballade are more consistent, so Zhou Yan made some modifications to the two songs and merged them together.

Liu Zhenwei was the first to applaud, Director Zhou, this piece of music is really good and very rich. It can satisfy the soundtrack of many scenes.

Director Zhou, what's the name of this piece? Zhou Xingchi asked.

Zhou Yan thought for a while and said, I call it Journey to the West Fantasy, what do you think?

Zhou Xingchi was stunned for a moment, then squeezed out two words, Very good.

After that, Zhou Xingchi said to Zhou Yan, I still have to go to the set because I have something to do.

Zhou Yan nodded, Well, you go ahead.

Seeing Zhou Xingchi leaving, Liu Zhenwei said with a smile, Thank you, Director Zhou, for writing such a good song. The crew will start dinner soon, so you should hurry up and have dinner.

After saying that, Liu Zhenwei also left.

After Zhou Xingchi and Liu Zhenwei left, Zhao Zhang scratched his head and said, Why do I feel that Zhou Xingchi is not satisfied with this piece of music? Is it because, Brother Yan, you wrote the song too long and complicated? It shouldn't be the case, this song At least one-third of the songs are not less listenable than those popular songs.

Zhou Yan waved his hand, Some people are born like this. They may not laugh when they are happy, and they may not cry when they are sad.

Zhao Lao looked at Zhou Xingchi's retreating figure in confusion, not quite understanding, was Brother Yan talking about Zhou Xingchi? I feel like Zhou Xingchi is not like this either.

Zhou Yan returned the erhu to Zhao Zhang and said, Let's go, let's go have a meal too.

…

The next morning, Zhou Yan got up and went to find Zhou Xingchi and asked them what they were going to shoot today.

I didn't find Zhou Xingchi, but I saw Liu Zhenwei.

Seeing Liu Zhenwei's appearance, Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows. After not seeing him all night, Liu Zhenwei had no hair left on his head and turned into a bald head.

Seeing Zhou Yan staring at his head, Liu Zhenwei touched his head and said with a smile, Zhou Xingchi suggested that I play the role of Patriarch Bodhi, and I was convinced by him.

Zhou Yan also laughed, That's pretty good. What are you going to shoot today?

I have a rest during the day today. From the night before yesterday to tonight, the shooting time was too long. Everyone couldn't bear it. At night, we filmed the scene where the three of us were really on fire.

Hearing what Liu Zhenwei said, Zhou Yan couldn't help but sigh. Their crew was really tired. Many people started working the night before yesterday and kept busy until midnight last night. They only had one day off and then had to shoot night scenes again. If this goes on, I'm sure many people can't bear it.

If there's nothing to do during the day, I'll go for a walk in the city.

Do you want me to send someone to take you off?

No, I can just drive myself.

…

In the city where Zhou Yan and Zhao Zhang went together, the boy couldn't drive, so Zhou Yan had to be the driver.

He went to the market to purchase some things.

Before coming, he thought that the crew had a lot of money and the food would be pretty good, but when he arrived he found out that it wasn't and the crew's food was very average.

Zhou Xingchi doesn't pay much attention to his diet, so he doesn't pay much attention to the food for the crew. He usually eats instant noodles every day.

Zhou Yan thought about treating Lu Shuming and the others to a meal when they were not filming that night. Since the conditions at the scene were not good, he thought about going to the market to purchase some.

The urban area of ​​YC is very small. They first found a shopping mall, parked the car on the side of the road, and entered.

There were a lot of things to buy, so they carried them to the car one by one.

After buying all the things that needed to be bought, Zhou Yan took Zhao Kuo to have a meal nearby.

After coming out of the restaurant and walking for a while, Zhao Yan looked at the poster on the wall and said, Brother Yan, there is an event.

what activity?

Zhou Yan stretched his head to look and saw Northwest Rock Festival written on the poster. There were also many band names written on it. Zhou Yan saw a familiar name in the middle - Flying Band.

This rock festival lasts for a week and it's not over yet. The last day is tomorrow and it will be today.

Zhou Yan looked at the note below and indeed wrote that the rock festival lasts for a week, with a total of four performances, all in the next four days. The address is Yinchuan Stadium. The performance time is the same every day, from 7:30 to 9:30.

If it ends at 9:30, Zhou Yan will definitely not be able to catch up with the crew for the evening shooting.

However, he pondered for a while and then said, Go and have a look.

After all, Zhao Lao is a young man, so of course he wants to join in the fun. He was very happy to hear Zhou Yan say that he wanted to go see a performance, but then he was confused, There is still filming in the evening.

Go and ask about the situation first.

After Zhou Yan said this, Zhao Zhang naturally had no objection.

When he arrived at the Yinchuan Stadium, Zhou Yan asked the staff about the performance tonight. When he learned that the Flying Band would not be performing tonight, Zhou Yan lost interest.

If you want to see the Flying Band, come tomorrow night, they will play tomorrow night.

The conductor was a little girl. Seeing that Zhou Yan was pretty, she explained the situation with a smile.

After hearing that Youfei Band would perform tomorrow night, Zhou Yan bought two tickets and planned to come back tomorrow night. Then he and Zhao Gao went back to Zhenbeibao.

…

When Zhou Yan and the others returned to Zhenbeibao, Xu Fengren received a call from Zhang Youan from Neon in Xiangjiang.

Mr. Xu, at the last moment, we finally surpassed it.

After hearing Zhang Youan's words, Xu Feng sat on the chair and let out a long sigh of relief.

The Sixth Sense has hit 1.6 billion neon coins a few days before the neon rationing, and is still 100 million short of surpassing the record set by Plan A.

But even with 100 million, it is very difficult to break through.

At the final stage of the movie, the box office potential has been almost fully tapped, and those movie fans and music fans who like Zhou Yan have already seen it.

And their movies cannot have enough impact on ordinary audiences like Hollywood blockbusters.

It hasn't been long since The Sixth Sense was painted under neon, and there was still 100 million left to break the record. Xu Feng and the others certainly didn't want to stop here, so Zhang Youan went to neon a few days ago to increase the propaganda power.

The effect is still there, the single-day box office has increased somewhat, but the increase is still very slow.

During this time, Xu Feng was also quite nervous.

When The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly was released, she was not so nervous, because at that time it was basically impossible for that movie to make history at the box office. It was already very, very good to be ranked among the top ten of the year.

But this time The Sixth Sense is different. Seeing the fruit of victory right in front of you, you can pick it off if you take one step forward. If you finally watch the fruit leave you, it will be a very painful feeling.

Fortunately, the final ending was happy, and Zhang Youan brought her good news.

Are you sure? Xu Feng asked.

OK, it's just past one o'clock, and there are still a few days to go. There should be no problem. The final box office should be over 1.7 billion neon coins.

Just over 1.7 billion, which is just a little over.

But just this little bit can make The Sixth Sense become Neon Film and Television's highest-grossing Chinese film.

It exceeds it, but only a little bit. This price/performance ratio is too high.

You can notify them of the press release prepared before and send it out.

Zhang Youan smiled and said, Don't worry, Mr. Xu, I've already sent someone to notify you. Tonight, there will be news about The Sixth Sense reaching the top of Neon in the three places across the Taiwan Strait.

That's good. I'll contact Zhou Yan now and tell him the good news.

It may be difficult to contact Zhou Yan now. He is on the set of Westward Journey. The location is quite remote and the pager cannot receive messages. If you want to contact him, you may have to call their set.

It's okay, just give me the crew's phone number.

Well, I'll look for it.

…

After a while, Xu Feng got the phone number of the crew of Westward Journey and dialed the number.

The phone rang for a long time before someone picked it up.

Hello. A voice in Cantonese came from the other end of the phone.

Hello, I'm Xu Feng, please help me find Zhou Yan.

When the other party heard that it was Xu Feng, he laughed and said, Hello, Mr. Xu, I am Liu Zhenwei.

Oh, hello, Director Liu, is your movie shooting going well?

Thank you, Mr. Xu, for your concern. Everything went smoothly. It's a bit unfortunate that you asked Zhou Yan. He went to the city, but I will be back in a while. Do you have anything you want me to convey to you? ? Or wait until he comes back and ask him to call you back?

Logically speaking, it would be best for Zhou Yan to call back, but Xu Feng now wanted to show off his achievements in The Sixth Sense to others, so he said with a smile, Then please tell Zhou Yan, Director Liu, The Sixth Sense The box office of Neon surpassed Plan A and became the highest-grossing Chinese film in Neon.

Liu Zhenwei was stunned for a moment when he heard the news.

Although he heard people say that The Sixth Sense performed well at the Neon box office a few days ago, he did not expect it to be as good as this.

The highest-grossing Chinese film in Neon Film history, and this is Zhou Yan's second film.

I heard that the production cost of this movie was only over 10,000 yuan, but it actually managed to achieve such a high box office. For such a small amount of money, it accomplished such a big thing.

Director Liu, did you hear that?

Seeing no response from the other end of the phone, Xu Feng asked again. She thought the signal was not good.

Oh, oh, you heard me, I will definitely convey this good news to Zhou Yan. Liu Zhenwei quickly replied.

Then it's all your fault.

Mr. Xu, you're welcome.

…

After hanging up the phone, Liu Zhenwei walked out of the room and happened to see his assistant Fang Zhongyou, so he asked him, Is Director Zhou back?

Fang Zhongyou was puzzled by the question, how could he know whether Zhou Yan would come back or not.

He shook his head and said, I haven't seen Director Zhou all day.

If you see him, just tell him I'm looking for him.

Director Liu, do you have anything to do with him? Do you want me to help you look for him? Seeing Liu Zhenwei like this, Fang Zhongyou felt that there was something urgent.

Liu Zhenwei smiled and said, It's nothing, I just want him to treat me to dinner.

Invite you to dinner? Fang Zhong looked surprised. Why did he become more and more confused the more he listened?

News just came that the film The Sixth Sense directed by Zhou has surpassed Plan A at the Neon box office and topped the Neon box office rankings of Chinese films. I remember if some of our crew participated in this Movie?

Fang Zhong nodded slightly, Well, Hong Xin from the makeup team and Xiao Jiang have both been on the set of The Sixth Sense before.

Then go and tell them the news. They should be very concerned about it.

okay.

Afterwards, Fang Zhongyou went to share the good news with Hong Xin and others.

The crew is so big, and when a news comes out, it spreads quickly.

Mainly because this guy Jiang Mengfei, after hearing the news, told everyone everywhere that he wished everyone on the crew knew about the results of The Sixth Sense and that he had participated in the production of this movie.

When Zhou Yan and Zhao Zhang came back, a crowd of people gathered around them.

Director Zhou, congratulations.

Congratulations to Director Zhou for reaching the top.

When will Director Zhou invite you to dinner?

After listening to what they said, Zhou Yan was a little confused. How could it be that only a bunch of people congratulated him?

Seeing Zhou Yan's confused look, Hong Xin covered her mouth and smiled, Zhou Yan, you don't know yet, but the box office of The Sixth Sense exceeded that of Plan A.

Zhou Yan understood immediately that it was because of this, but he was also quite surprised as to where they got the news from.

Zhou Yan was of course very happy to hear that The Sixth Sense broke the record. He laughed and said, Don't worry, I will definitely treat you to the meal. Everyone, make way, I will go to Director Liu and the others first.

Everyone was just making noise, not necessarily asking Zhou Yan to treat him to dinner, so they all got out of the way, leaving a way for Zhou Yan.

Not far away, two martial artists from Xiangjiang could not help but curl their lips as they looked at the lively scene here.

It seems to them that they are proud of it and just made one or two movies. It's like a treasure.

There aren't many good movies out there. If one does well, you get carried away.

It's hard to say what the foreign box office is. Sometimes luck plays the main role. Isn't The Sixth Sense only worth over 20 million in Hong Kong?

that is.

These two martial arts schools have had conflicts with the staff in the mainland for a long time. Today I saw them everywhere promoting the record-breaking Sixth Sense, which made me feel a little sour, so I said these strange things.

Cheng Xiaodong walked out of the room, coughed slightly, and said seriously, Just focus on your work and don't talk about these messy things all day long.

One of the martial arts practitioners was unconvinced and said, Director Cheng, I can't stand the way they are so mean-spirited. Zhou Yan is just a soundtrack. I know that since he came, those mainlanders have become arrogant.

Another person helped, It's just that Director Zhou is giving Zhou Yan too much face. Why can he interfere in the filming if he knows the soundtrack? Isn't this overstepping his bounds?

Director Zhou didn't do anything, so don't say this.

Cheng Xiaodong frowned and walked away.

In fact, Cheng Xiaodong knew why his subordinates were resentful. After all, Westward Journey was invested by Cai Xing Company. In their view, of course it should be their Xiangjiang side that took full control, and the mainland staff could only do their bidding.

But there are too many staff in the mainland, and they like to stick together. They can't give orders at all.

Cheng Xiaodong also had a headache about this. Whether it was the martial arts practitioners in Xiangjiang or the martial arts fighters in the Chang'an Factory, all of them were young and vigorous. With so many people together, there would always be some conflicts, but neither he nor the producers in the Chang'an Factory had any problems. It's hard to coordinate.

The conflict came step by step. The martial artists in Xiangjiang felt that the martial artists in the Chang'an Factory did not listen to orders, while the martial artists in the Chang'an Factory thought that the martial arts in Xiangjiang were bullying others.

Yesterday at the scene, the conversation between Zhou Yan and Zhou Xingchi really made the people in the Chang'an factory stronger.

In this way, it will be even harder to manage.

I still have to talk to the producer at Chang'an Factory later... No, I should talk to Zhou Yan. Cheng Xiaodong now feels that maybe Zhou Yan can talk better than the producer at Chang'an Factory.

Here Zhou Yan found Liu Zhenwei and finally understood where the news of The Sixth Sense breaking the record came from.

Liu Zhenwei was quite polite and said that he would find time to help Zhou Yan with half of the celebration party on the set, but Zhou Yan declined.

It would be outrageous for him to have a celebration party for his own film crew.

He had promised to treat everyone to dinner just now, but he didn't plan to eat at Zhenbeibao. They were all from the Chang'an factory anyway, and it would be the same if he went to Chang'an later.

…

After dinner in the evening, Zhou Yan went to the set.

Chen Hong was also there. When she saw Zhou Yan, she immediately ran over, Director Zhou.

The samadhi scene that was filmed tonight had nothing to do with Chen Hong. She was not wearing a costume, just a polka-dot white shirt and a pair of jeans.

This was probably the simplest set of clothes Zhou Yan had ever seen Chen Hong wear, but it was precisely the simplicity of the clothes that made Zhou Yan look twice.

He felt that it was fine for Chen Hong to wear simple clothes like this, and there was no need to wear such brightly colored clothes every day.

However, it was quite cold in Yinchuan at night, and Chen Hong was a little underdressed. Her polka-dot shirt had a V-neck, and her collarbone was exposed.

Aren't you cold?

Chen Hong chuckled and said, It's okay, I'm very resistant to cold.

Zhou Yan shook his head and said nothing more, but after a while, he saw Chen Hong shrinking her neck. It was obvious that she was not as resistant to the cold as he said. (End of chapter)
