Chapter 415: "Eternal Night" On the Roadside

Some people say that "Butterfly Lovers 1" is a heterosexual movie disguised as homosexuality, and Chen Kexin's homophobic consciousness can be seen in it, while "Butterfly Lovers 2" is the other way around, more like a movie disguised as heterosexuality. Gay movies, Peter Chan's homophobia is fading.

But compared with those movies that really explore homosexuality, both "Golden Flowers" are obviously not deep enough.

Perhaps Peter Chan wanted to explore something in-depth on the subject of homosexuality, but was a little timid. Or perhaps he wanted to explore it, but was not ready because he did not have an in-depth understanding of the subject.

In recent years, there have been more and more discussions about homosexuality, and many films on this subject have won awards, which has led some directors to deliberately cater to it and make films of the same type.

Zhou Yan is not saying that Peter Chan only shoots such subjects to win awards, but the environment itself will affect the creator's ideas.

After the movie ended, the three of them were not in a hurry to leave. They only got up after the other two couples left.

"I thought that the story of "Golden Leaves 1" had already been filmed, and there was nothing to film in the second part. I didn't expect that the second part was quite good, exceeding my expectations." Chen Derong said with a smile.

Wang Zuxian nodded and joked, "Maybe the third part will film Fang Yanmei meeting a girl she likes while traveling outside."

"That's quite interesting."

Zhou Yan also laughed. Not to mention, Wang Zuxian's idea was quite interesting and quite logical or in line with the routine.

In fact, the routines of the two "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves" are similar.

In the first part, the main story is that gold medal music producer Gu Jiaming fell in love with Lin Ziying, who was disguised as a woman, and the female singer Rose played by Carina Lau also fell in love with Lin Ziying.

In the second part, the returning superstar Fang Yanmei takes over the role of Rose and falls in love with Lin Ziying.

Both movies are alternative love triangles between two women and one man.

However, although the core routine is the same, there are advancements in the attempts between same-sex couples. In the second part, even though Fang Yanmei later learned that Lin Ziying was a girl, she actually still liked her.

Fang Yanmei's feelings for Lin Ziying are obviously different from Rose's feelings for Lin Ziying in the first film.

So in the third part, do we still need to advance? Fang Yanmei has a real love relationship with a girl?

With this shot, it becomes a trilogy.

It can be seen that the two girls still like this movie and have been discussing the plot. Chen Derong even said that she also wanted to try the role of Lin Ziying.

But to be honest, Chen Derong is not suitable to play Lin Ziying.

Peter Chan's casting was not chosen randomly. Anita Yuen, who plays Lin Ziying, has a face shape that suits short hair very well. When she wears her hair short, she has the feeling of a young lady.

Like a boy, but very beautiful.

As for Chen Derong's skeletal appearance, if he keeps his hair too short, he won't have this feeling.

It was almost one o'clock in the afternoon when the three of them walked out of the cinema.

This is also why there are so few people watching this show at 11 o'clock, because the show is so embarrassing that I even missed my meal after watching it.

However, the three of them were not in a hurry, because they had eaten breakfast quite late and were not very hungry. It was good to wander around and find a place to eat after watching the movie.

"Where are we going to eat later? I remember..."

After leaving the theater, Chen Derong was about to talk about eating when suddenly two girls came over with their mouths covered in surprise, "Rong Rong."

The sound startled Chen Derong. She hurriedly touched her ear and found that she didn't even wear sunglasses when she came out.

However, she responded quickly, and a smile immediately appeared on her face, "Hello."

"Wow, it's really you."

When the two girls saw Chen Derong, they couldn't believe it at first, but when they saw her response, they were sure it was her, and the expressions on their faces became even more surprised.

One of the girls couldn't help but look at Zhou Yan and Wang Zuxian who were wearing sunglasses next to them. The celebrities next to them were probably celebrities, and these two people were also wearing sunglasses.

At this glance, the girl recognized Wang Zuxian. Compared with Zhou Yan, Wang Zuxian wearing sunglasses was indeed easier to recognize.

"Xiao Xian!"

After being recognized, Wang Zuxian also responded generously, "Hello."

Suddenly they met two big stars, Chen Derong and Wang Zuxian. The two girls jumped up with joy, "Wow, it's really you. We are so lucky."

"Xiaoxian, aren't you filming recently?"

"Yes, yes, I also saw the news."

Speaking of filming, the two girls suddenly thought of something and looked at Zhou Yan next to them.

Could this be...

"Ayan?"

Zhou Yan originally thought that he could escape the fate of being recognized, but in the end he did not escape.

He forced a smile and said, "Hello."

"Wow, it's really you, Ayan."

The two girls jumped up and down again. Zhou Yan discovered that in this era, girls in Xiangjiang and Taiwan really jump up and down when they are happy.

There were more people in the cinema than at eleven o'clock, and soon other people heard the noise and looked over.

Seeing that others were about to gather around, Zhou Yan smiled at the two girls and said, "Sorry, we have to leave."

After saying that, he gave Wang Zuxian and Chen Derong a look, and then the three of them walked out together.

But they couldn't run, so they could only speed up a little, but at this speed, they were easily caught up.

Zhou Yan had the impression that Hong Kong's movie and music fans were relatively restrained, but the people they met today were obviously not very restrained. When some people learned that the three of them were here, they followed them excitedly.

After leaving the cinema, there was a shopping mall, and there were more people around.

Soon, a group of people followed Zhou Yan and the other three.

Other people in the mall were naturally very curious when they saw this scene, and they ran over to join in the fun. As time went by, more and more people were watching.

"What should we do?" Chen Derong asked.

Joey Wong shrugged and smiled, "Just walk slowly, they won't follow you after a while."

"Where are we going now?"

"Let's just walk around nearby."

Joey Wong encountered a lot of being recognized and watched on the street. Many times, she was not recognized by fans first, but by paparazzi first.

Today was pretty good. At least they didn't get involved with paparazzi when they went out.

However, compared to the previous time when she was recognized, the situation today was a little more complicated, because Zhou Yan and Chen Derong were next to her.

At first, people just followed behind, and soon someone shouted.

"Xiaoxian, are you filming a movie?"

"Ayan, when will your new movie be released?"

"When will the new album be released?"

...

The shouts came one after another, and Zhou Yan and the others had no way to answer. They just raised their hands and waved from time to time to show that they were not so indifferent.

When they walked out of the mall, the crowd of onlookers did not decrease at all. The two girls they met in the cinema before also followed them out. They no longer cared about the movie.

At first, Zhou Yan wanted to get rid of these people, but later found that he couldn't get rid of them, so he calmed down and wandered around the commercial street.

After leaving the mall and passing Tiffany, he happened to arrive at a Shiseido store.

This Shiseido store is quite large, and there is a very large poster hanging at the door, on which is a full-body photo of Joey Wong.

There were a few people standing under the poster taking pictures. Suddenly, they saw Zhou Yan and his group walking towards this side surrounded by people. They all stood there in a daze.

They looked up at the huge poster behind them, and then looked at Wang Zuxian. It felt like a dream.

Wang Zuxian saw the Shiseido store and smiled, "Let's go in and take a look."

Zhou Yan nodded, "Okay."

They are both Shiseido's spokespersons. Going in now can also be regarded as promoting the sponsor.

When Zhou Yan and his group walked into Shiseido, the employees in the store were dumbfounded.

Why did so many people come suddenly?

Although it is a good thing to have customers, it is too scary to see so many people.

When the store manager ran out, she happened to see Wang Zuxian standing next to the counter. She was also confused. Why did the spokesperson come here?

Didn't the headquarters say that there was an event today?

The store manager hurried over to greet, "Ms. Wang, Mr. Zhou, welcome."

She didn't recognize Chen Derong, which is normal.

Compared with Zhou Yan and Wang Zuxian, Chen Derong is less well-known in Hong Kong.

Chen Derong's popularity is mainly due to Qiong Yao dramas, but Qiong Yao dramas are not very popular in Hong Kong.

"Three Plum Blossoms" was broadcast in TVB's prime time, but the ratings were average, and "Water and Clouds" was even worse, and it was directly cut in half.

Looking at the flustered store manager, Wang Zuxian smiled and said, "We were just walking around and happened to see your store, so we came in to take a look."

The store manager looked at the onlookers who were about to fill their store and pursed his lips. Is this really just a walk?

Zhou Yan noticed the store manager's expression and laughed, "Does our coming here bother you?"

The store manager waved his hand quickly, "No, no, our store welcomes your arrival very much. If you like something, just ask and I will serve you personally."

Although the store manager said so, Zhou Yan and his friends did not stay for too long. They just took a simple walk and left.

They also found that it was not good to have so many people crowded in one store.

After leaving Shiseido and walking forward, Zhou Yan suddenly heard a piano sound from the north, so he turned his head and looked over there. He saw a piano at the door of Fendi, and someone was sitting there playing the piano.

Because it was Liszt's "The Bells", it aroused Zhou Yan's interest. It is rare to see someone playing this song on the street.

The song "The Bells" is quite difficult. Most people will not challenge it when playing on the street, and this person played it very well.

However, the pitch of this piano is not very good, and it is very uncomfortable to listen to some parts.

Joey Wong also heard the piano sound and suggested with a smile, "How about we go and have a look?"

"Forget it, I won't bother them." Zhou Yan shook his head and prepared to continue walking west.

But after walking a few steps, he suddenly heard another familiar melody, and he turned his head again.

Although it is rare to hear someone playing "The Bells" on the street, this song is not rare now. Zhou Yan has never heard anyone playing on the street before, because this is his "Eternal Night".

Zhou Yan had heard many of his songs on the streets. "Reunion", "Secret Joy" and "Kite" are all relatively common ones, and such songs are often played in shopping malls.

But it was the first time he heard "Eternal Night". Not to mention hearing someone play it live, he had never heard it played in a shopping mall.

Joey Wong frowned and said, "This song sounds so familiar, but I just can't remember where I heard it."

Joey Wong didn't know anything about classical piano music before, but she got to know a little bit because she was with Zhou Yan.

Chen Derong pouted and said, "These piano pieces sound the same to me. Isn't this the same piece as the one just now?"

"Of course not." Joey Wong shook her head firmly.

Zhou Yan smiled and was about to tell Joey Wong the answer, but she suddenly widened her eyes, "Third brother, isn't this your song "Eternal Night"? "

"Eternal Night" is a long song. Some passages are not so memorable for her, but some are very impressive. Now she is playing a passage that she is more familiar with, so she can hear it.

Zhou Yan smiled and nodded, "Yes, it is "Eternal Night". Your ears are getting better and better now."

"Of course." Joey Wong said proudly.

This time, she did not ask Zhou Yan again, but walked towards the piano herself.

As she moved, the onlookers also walked towards that direction.

The young man who was playing the piano quietly looked up and suddenly saw a large circle of people around him. He was stunned and the rhythm of playing the piano became chaotic.

But soon, he calmed down.

He should have practiced this song for a long time. First of all, it takes a long time to memorize the score of such a long song.

In addition, he already has his own ideas on the treatment of details, and some places can make Zhou Yan's eyes light up. These things cannot be achieved without a lot of practice and research.

Of course, if you don't memorize the score of "Eternal Night", you probably can't play it, because Zhou Yan gave too deep skills when writing "Eternal Night".

For songs with too deep skills, because your hands are too busy when playing, you don't have time to look at the score. Even if there is a score in front of you, you can't take care of it when you really play it.

The version played by the young man is not the latest version, but the one before that, which is two versions behind the latest version.

The song "Eternal Night" has been modified too much, even the live version in the last concert in Hong Kong is different from the version Zhou Yan performed in Houston later.

The version played in Houston is the latest version, the version performed in the Hong Kong concert this year is the previous version, and the version played by the young man now is the version Zhou Yan played in Neon before. (End of this chapter)
