Chapter 126: I Feel Like a Dream
Zhou Yan and Wang Zuxian's panic at this time was like a little couple who were caught by adults when they went to school.
Originally, both of them were a little drunk, and they were shocked by these knocks on the door, and their brains were also racing rapidly, Wang Zuxian straightened his clothes, and couldn't help but reach out and wipe Zhou Yan's lips, "Wipe off the lipstick." ”
Zhou Yan looked at Wang Zuxian's mouth again, her lipstick had also been gnawed by Zhou Yan.
"You wipe it too."
The two sorted it out, Zhou Yan took a deep breath, and then went to open the door for Lao Jiu.
Several younger siblings were outside, and as soon as the door opened, they peeked inside, looking curious and gossipy.
"Third brother, are we ......?"
Zhou Yan immediately said, "You guys have really grown up, you know how to cut first and then play, where do you go to play?" ”
"We just walked downstairs and didn't go far." Zhou Qian said.
At this time, Wang Zuxian also said with a smile, "Ninth sister, come in quickly, I've been waiting for you for a while." ”
Zhou Qing asked stupidly, "Sister Xiaoxian, have you been waiting for us?" ”
"Hmmm......"
Wang Zuxian nodded, but she knew that this was not convincing, she drank a lot of wine with Zhou Yan, and she could smell a smell of wine in the room.
"The third brother has been worried about you...... It's good for you to come back, it's not too early, I'll go back first. ”
After speaking, Wang Zuxian walked outside, with a smile on her face, trying not to look flustered.
"I'll send you." Zhou Yan also followed.
Wang Zuxian waved his hand, "Don't send it, it's not safe outside." ”
She said that it was not safe, and naturally she was worried that the reporter would photograph the two together.
Zhou Yan knew that she was right, so she didn't insist.
"Sister Xiaoxian, see you tomorrow."
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
Zhou Yan stood at the door and looked at Wang Zuxian until her back disappeared into the corridor, and then took her younger siblings back to the room.
As soon as he entered the house, Lao Qizhou Jing said with a smile, "Third brother, I see that Sister Xiaoxian's face is so red." ”
"Got some drink." Zhou Yan said casually, and then said with a straight face, "Don't change the topic, your accounts haven't been settled yet, and you ran away without saying a word, next time it's like this, I'm going to give you a family law." ”
Zhou Qing shrunk her neck and said, "Third brother, we want to create opportunities for you and Sister Xiaoxian." ”
"It's not a big person, but there are a lot of worries."
In fact, Zhou Yan also wanted to say, if you are really good for the third brother, you shouldn't come over later, now it's for the mountain nine people, and he is very uncomfortable.
There was a smell of alcohol in the house, and Zhou Yan didn't let them stay longer, and drove them away after saying a few words.
After Wang Zuxian got out of the hotel, he covered his red face, everything that happened in the house just now was like a dream, and now he finally woke up.
Thinking of Zhou Yan's flustered appearance, she felt interesting again, and a smile couldn't help but appear on her face.
It's a pity that Zhou Yan played the tune just now, and she didn't have time to ask what the name was.
……
The next morning, both went to work on the set as usual, but when they met again, the atmosphere became very delicate.
Today is mainly the scene between Zhou Yan and the blind Taoist master and apprentice, and the rivalry between Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen is only a little bit.
When Zhou Yan's footage was finished, Tsui Hark took the crew to make up some scenes of the blind Taoist priest and Xiaoqing, and Zhou Yan touched the costume room alone.
Wang Zuxian was the only one in the clothing room at this time, she had just changed her clothes, and the makeup on her face had not been removed.
Seeing Zhou Yan standing at the door, Wang Zuxian pretended to be calm and said, "Are you here to change your clothes?" ”
Zhou Yan shook his head with a smile, "I'll play with you for tomorrow." ”
Hearing Zhou Yan say the right play, Wang Zuxian also became serious and showed a work attitude, "Okay, tomorrow's scene will mainly be filmed between the two of us." ”
Tomorrow's shooting is that Xu Xian got wet, took off his clothes and let Bai Suzhen dry them, while he himself was taking a bath.
This scene is mainly Bai Suzhen's lines, so when the scene is played, Wang Zuxian is basically talking, Zhou Yan is listening, and occasionally the two discuss the position of the shooting at that time.
After this scene was rehearsed twice, Zhou Yan saw that Wang Zuxian had memorized this line very well, and said with a smile, "I've seen almost this paragraph, let's have another scene." ”
"Another scene?" Wang Zuxian's face was puzzled.
"Well, a 24-page play in a big play."
"24 pages of the big script?"
Wang Zuxian still looked puzzled, there are so many pages in the big script, how can she remember every page of the play? Usually he doesn't pay attention to the page numbers.
But there was a script on the table, and she opened it with doubts, flipped to page 24, and after only a few lines, her face turned red.
The 24-page scene of the script is the first time Xu Xian has made love with Bai Suzhen, although it is not as explicit as the one they filmed before, but it should be there.
She raised her head, and before she could speak, Zhou Yan had already come up to her and kissed her.
The sudden kiss made Wang Zuxian's whole person tense, when they filmed the first scene before, she took the initiative as a passerby, but at this time, outside the play, the two played different roles, and she became shy.
And this is the clothing room, outsiders may come in at any time, she responded to Zhou Yan's kiss, but at the same time worried that someone would come and bump into her.
This feeling of tension and excitement made Wang Zuxian's heart beat faster, and his body temperature rose rapidly, and he forgot to pay attention to the situation outside the door later.
I don't know how long it was, it could be tens of seconds, it could be a few minutes, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door, Wang Zuxian hurriedly pushed Zhou Yan away, and then quickly sat upright.
The footsteps didn't come this way, they stopped halfway through, and then faded away.
After the footsteps disappeared, Wang Zuxian stroked his chest and couldn't help but glance at Zhou Yan, "Third brother, you are too bold." ”
This is the first time that Wang Zuxian has called Zhou Yan's third brother after the two have been in close contact, but the tone is completely different from before, with a little delicate taste.
Zhou Yan reached out and wiped the lipstick on her lips, making an innocent expression, "Aren't we playing against each other?" ”
Wang Zuxian glanced at the script in his hand, and while sorting out his makeup, he said angrily, "The 24-page script is up to you." ”
Zhou Yan smiled again and leaned into Wang Zuxian's ear, "Go to me in the evening and have a tea party." ”
Wang Zuxian tilted his head to look at him and said angrily, "You want to repeat the old trick again, don't think I don't know." ”
Zhou Yan raised his hands, "Misunderstanding, big misunderstanding, tonight is really a tea party, Xiao Jiu, they are all here, and the juice you brought yesterday hasn't been drunk yet." ”
"You promise."
Zhou Yan patted his chest again and said, "I promise." ”
Seeing his assurance, Wang Zuxian nodded, "Okay, I'll trust you again." ”
……
In the evening, Wang Zuxian came to Zhou Yan's room again, Zhou Yan really didn't lie to her, Xiao Jiu and they were all waiting for her in the room.
The theme of tonight's tea party is very simple, it is related to the legend of "The Legend of the White Snake", Zhou Yan told them about several versions of "The Legend of the White Snake", and took them to discuss the characteristics of several main characters in this story.
Although the theme is limited, everyone's thinking is not restricted, everyone is open to talking, and there is no need to worry about losing face if you say something wrong.
There were not many chairs in the room, so they sat casually, Zhou Yan and Wang Zuxian sat on the sofa, and the others sat on the chairs and sat on the carpet.
At the beginning, Wang Zuxian and Zhou Yan were still a little far away, but later, even Wang Zuxian himself didn't notice that the distance between the two was getting closer and closer, and they almost got together.
Zhou Qian couldn't help but smile when she saw that the third brother and Sister Xiaoxian were so close, it seemed that their strategy worked last night, and she could obviously feel that the relationship between the two was different.
When the story of the White Snake was finally discussed, the eighth Zhou Yun proposed, "Third brother, tell us a story." ”
Hearing Zhou Yun's proposal, everyone else agreed.
"That's right, the third brother will tell us a story."
"Let's tell another bedtime story tonight."
Wang Zuxian looked at his younger brothers and sisters with anticipation, and then looked sideways at Zhou Yan, she didn't expect them to let Zhou Yan tell them bedtime stories.
At the same time, she was also curious, what story would Zhou Yan say? It won't be the kind of fairy tale where princes and princesses live happily together.
Zhou Yan thought for a while and said, "It's okay, but it's not early tonight, you little sister Xian will go home in a while, we will only talk for an hour, and then whether the story is finished or not, we will all finish, okay?" ”
"Okay."
Then Zhou Yan organized it in his brain, and then said, "What I'm talking about now is a true story, there is a very famous doctor in our Gulou District, who previously majored in child psychology abroad and is an expert in this field. Although the domestic market in psychology is not very good, this doctor is still very famous in our side, and many parents are willing to send their children to him. ”
Zhou Yan's opening like this frightened everyone else present at once, and Zhou Qian and they were even wondering if there was such a doctor in Gulou District.
Wang Zuxian didn't know much about Gulou District, but she also felt that what Zhou Yan said seemed to be a true story.
Seeing their expressions, Zhou Yan smiled and continued, "One night about six years ago, Dr. Ma and his wife were at home, celebrating the government award he had just received, when a naked man broke into Dr. Ma's house, the man claimed to be Xiao Ke, who had been treated by Dr. Ma when he was a child, but in the end it didn't work. Over the years, psychological problems have been tormenting Xiao Ke, and he came here this time to die with Dr. Ma. ”
"Xiao Ke brought a knife and stabbed Dr. Ma in the abdomen, and then committed suicide in front of the couple."
Hearing this, Xiao Jiu covered his mouth, his face was surprised, the pace of this story was too fast.
Wang Zuxian looked at Zhou Yan, a little surprised, she didn't expect Zhou Yan to tell such an exciting story to his younger brothers and sisters at night, aren't you afraid that they won't be able to sleep?
"A year later, Dr. Ma encountered the same case as Xiao Ke."
"So Dr. Ma didn't die." Zhou Yun rejoiced, and then apologized for his interruption, "I'm sorry, third brother." ”
Zhou Yan nodded and continued, "The patient this time is a little boy, I forgot what his name is, let's call him Xiaotian for the time being." For Xiaotian, Dr. Ma is very attentive because he can not only save the child, but also make up for his guilt. But this little man seems to be very repulsive to Dr. Ma and is reluctant to get close to him. ”
"Xiaotian is very closed and reluctant to communicate with others, but Dr. Ma is very patient, keeps enlightening him, and tries to communicate with him, and finally Huangtian lives up to his wishes, and Dr. Ma finally opens Xiaotian's heart. And Xiao Tian told Dr. Ma an unbelievable thing - he could see ghosts. ”
At this point in the story, Xiao Jiu and the others not only did not have fear, but they were all very excited, but Wang Zuxian shrank his body and was a little scared.
Seeing Wang Zuxian shrink back to his side, Zhou Yan showed a smile on his face, and then continued, "After Dr. Ma heard Xiao Tian say this, he judged Xiao Tian to be schizophrenic. ”
"But things were obviously different from what Dr. Ma thought, he re-listened to the tape of the previous conversation with Xiao Ke, and found that there was a strange male voice mixed in it, and this voice was neither Xiao Ke's nor his, and then he realized ......"
Hearing this, Wang Zuxian was startled, and couldn't help but shrink back to Zhou Yan's side, and the bodies of the two were already together.
The story Zhou Yan said is the famous ghost movie "The Sixth Sense of Supernaturalness", but this ghost movie is not the same as ordinary ghost movies, it is not very scary, and the main focus is a redemption.
In the follow-up story, the male protagonist Dr. Ma keeps enlightening Xiaotian, asking him to try to accept his own ability, not to be afraid of those undead, but to communicate with those undead.
Later, Xiao Tian remembered Dr. Ma's words and began to try to communicate with a dead girl and helped the girl.
Since then, Xiaotian has been free from fear and has begun an optimistic life.
At this point in the story, it is a warm movie dressed as a ghost movie, although it is very good, but it is nothing special.
But the climax of the story is at the end, when Dr. Ma goes home and chats with his sleeping wife, looks at the ring that has fallen on the ground, and suddenly wakes up and remembers that he had died long ago.
The current Dr. Ma is an undead.
When Zhou Yan said the final ending, everyone in the room was stunned, they didn't expect that there would be such a reversal, and this reversal also made the two-way redemption between Dr. Ma and Xiaotian more profound.
Wang Zuxian hugged her legs and leaned on Zhou Yan's shoulders, although the story behind was not terrifying, she didn't move her position again, leaning on Zhou Yan like this, which made her feel at ease.
In fact, there are many details in this movie, but Zhou Yan just told the story roughly, otherwise there would not be enough time, and everyone would be tired of listening.
In addition, if you follow the movie, there will be no real effect from the beginning, which can be regarded as Zhou Yan's bad taste.
Even when Zhou Yan said that Dr. Ma heard the voice of the "ghost", Zhou Qian and the others were not sure if it was a true story, and they thought that maybe it was a coincidence.
Just as they were pondering, Zhou Yan clapped his hands and said with a smile, "It's not too early, you should go back and rest." ”
Although they were still unsatisfied, Zhou Qian and the others still stood up.
"Good night third brother, good night sister Xiaoxian."
After the younger brothers and sisters left, Zhou Yan turned to Wang Zuxian and said, "If you go back now, will you be afraid, maybe you will encounter something special." ”
"I won't." Wang Zuxian pursed his lips, "I knew that you were talking about ghost stories, so you didn't have a good heart." ”
Zhou Yan said with a smile, "If I hadn't been well-intentioned, I wouldn't have told such a non-scary story, do you want to listen to even more terrifying stories?" I'll tell you one more. ”
"Don't say it." Wang Zuxian picked up his hat, got up and walked out, "I'm going back." ”
Zhou Yan pulled her into his arms, "After listening to the story, there is no reason not to give money for tickets." ”
The two looked at each other, Wang Zuxian smiled, kissed Zhou Yan on the face, and left a lipstick printed on it.
"Okay, that's the ticket money."
After speaking, Wang Zuxian broke away from Zhou Yan's arms and walked out of the door.
Zhou Yan said in the back, "You really don't want me to send you?" ”
"I don't want to wake up tomorrow and see the big news, you can go back."
After Wang Zuxian went back, she called Zhou Yan, seemingly to report her safety, but in fact, she was afraid because she was alone in the room.
Although tonight's ghost story wasn't particularly scary, she was a little stunned.
Zhou Yan couldn't help laughing when she saw Wang Zuxian so scared, she had obviously acted in ghost movies, but her courage was still so small.
chatted until midnight, Wang Zuxian couldn't bear the sleepiness and hung up the phone in a daze.
……
In the next few days, the filming work of the crew became busier and busier, mainly because Wang Zuxian and Zhang Manyu were busy, because the two of them had more scenes.
During the day, Zhou Yan wanted to find some alone time with Wang Zuxian, but there was no way, and the scene was filmed late, and there was a night scene, and she didn't have the energy to go to the tea party.
On the morning of August 9, Zhou Yan received a call from Xu Feng.
After Zhou Yan came to Xiangjiang, the two rarely talked on the phone, and Xu Feng basically didn't talk to Zhou Yan about the box office of the movie, but as soon as the call was connected this time, Xu Feng said to Zhou Yan, "Zhou Yan, congratulations, the box office of "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" in Xiangjiang has reached 12 million, and there are still a few days after the box office has not been counted, but it should not affect this data. ”
"The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" was released in Xiangjiang for four weeks, and this release time alone is not easy.
As for the box office of 12 million, although it is nothing compared to other movies, they only compare with themselves, and this box office has exceeded all their expectations.
Xu Feng didn't talk to Zhou Yan about the box office before, because she was afraid that Zhou Yan would be distracted, but now that the box office in Xiangjiang has settled, there will be no change, so she told Zhou Yan.
"Sister Feng, it should be me congratulating you." Zhou Yan smiled and asked again, "What about the box office in the mainland and Taiwan Island?" ”
"The mainland and Taiwan Island have not yet been painted, but most of the box office has come out, if nothing else, the box office of "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" in the mainland can reach more than 20 million yuan, and Taiwan Island should be able to exceed 40 million New Taiwan dollars."
More than NT$40 million, according to the exchange rate, is about 10 million yuan, which is about the same as the box office of Xiangjiang, but this data is inconspicuous in Xiangjiang, but it is quite powerful in Taiwan, and it should be able to rush into the top 15, and it is even expected to touch the top 10.
As for the box office in the mainland, more than 20 million is already very good, but Tomson and Yanjing Studios can't make much money, and the current box office data in the mainland looks good.
"Are you going to plan to release it on Goryeo and Neon later?"
"Well, the "Piano Boy" record will be the first to enter the neon and Korean markets in a few days, and the movie will be a little later, if the record sells well, it can help raise the price, and we are now negotiating the price with the distributor." Xu Feng said.
Zhou Yan nodded, everything was developing in a good direction.
"The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" has come to this point, and all of them are satisfied, and what will happen in Neon, Korea and Southeast Asia will be a surprise in addition to surprises.
Xu Feng said with a smile again, "You have now entered the 40 million family, and the other ticket warehouses sell one, 50 or 60 million should not be a big problem, you are already ahead of many directors." ”
"I still want to thank Sister Feng for your support in the back." Zhou Yan said with a smile.
"Let's not talk about this kind of scene." Xu Feng smiled and asked again, "Has the filming of the crew been going well recently, and how is the progress of "Green Snake"?" ”
"Everything is going on steadily, no surprise, I'm going to finish it in ten days."
"After finishing the work, take a good rest and rest well, and I'll find you a job again."
Zhou Yan smiled, "What job?" I haven't been particularly busy lately. ”
He is telling the truth, in the crew of "Green Snake", he is really not very busy, because Xu Xian's role is not much, and the battle line is quite long, otherwise he would not have time to have tea parties with his younger brothers and sisters every day.
Xu Feng on the other end of the phone thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll tell you." I've been helping you find scripts all this time, and recently found one that was pretty good, so I thought I'd show it to you to see if you're interested. ”
"What kind of script?" Zhou Yan asked.
"It's a war movie, so let's do it, I'll ask Zhang Youan to show you the script in the past two days."
"Okay."
After talking to Xu Feng on the phone, there was a gap of one day, and on the morning of the third day, Zhou Yan got the script of "A Qunfang Jealousy".
To be honest, seeing the name of this script, Zhou Yan didn't feel very cold.
After reading the script, Zhou Yan was not interested at all.
This is indeed a movie set in the war, and the male and female protagonists are both soldiers, but from the time they fell in love, the two only met a few times in the ten years since then.
In the end, the male protagonist died, and his comrades-in-arms complied with his last wishes and sent his relics to the female protagonist, but they got the news that the female protagonist also died two days ago, and the time of the death of the two was less than seven days apart.
"A Gang of Jealousy" is a very, very poignant and tragic story, and the noble love between the two is very admirable in the flames of war.
But Zhou Yan is reluctant to make such a story, and this kind of scene is very contradictory, whether it is focusing on the war or the love between the two, there is something wrong, and it is difficult for the director to reconcile.
In addition, when filming war scenes, Zhou Yan's only experience is staying in the crew of "Sanmao in the Army" for a few days, and the key "Sanmao in the Army" cannot be regarded as a serious war drama, and this experience cannot be regarded as experience.
Not only did he not want to shoot, but he also didn't have the ability to shoot.
After reading the script, Zhou Yan called Xu Feng.
Xu Feng knew that he should have read the script, so he asked with a smile, "How do you feel?" ”
"I don't think it's right for me." Zhou Yan said.
"Can you tell me what you think is inappropriate?" Xu Feng asked.
Zhou Yan said truthfully, "I'm not very good at war scenes and love scenes, especially war scenes, if you have no experience, it's too hard to shoot, and it's also a headache to serve." ”
Xu Feng muttered, "Actually, when I got this script, I also considered this, but this script doesn't need to be so grand and exciting in terms of war, and we can also find professionals to direct it." For me, I naturally hope that you can try more so that you can grow quickly, and sooner or later you will have to shoot big scenes. ”
In fact, Xu Feng is right, at Zhou Yan's age, he should not be burdened by the existing reputation, he should try more in order to continue to improve, and when the accumulation is enough, there will be better development in the future.
And Xu Feng also listened to Zhou Yan's two war-related soundtracks, so she thought of letting him come into contact with war dramas, she originally thought that Zhou Yan would be interested in war dramas, but she didn't expect Zhou Yan to be interested in war dramas.
"Since you're not interested in this script, forget it, I'll find you another script later." After a pause, Xu Feng said again, "Or do you have any stories you want to shoot?" ”
Zhou Yan pondered for a moment and said, "There really is." ”
Xu Feng on the other end of the phone was a little surprised, she didn't expect Zhou Yan to say so simply.
"Really? Then why didn't you tell me? ”
Zhou Yan smiled, "I didn't think about it, but you called me the day before yesterday, so I had this idea." ”
"What kind of story?" Xu Feng asked.
"There are two, one has already been written, and the other is still in my head."
Zhou Yan is talking about "Tree Hole" and "The Sixth Sense of the Supernatural", in fact, he himself is hesitating which one to shoot if he wants to make a second feature film.
"Tree Hole" is more literary and artistic, and it will definitely be exhibited when it is filmed, so it may be difficult to perform well at the box office.
Compared with "Tree Hole", "The Sixth Sense" is definitely better to sell.
In addition, "Tree Hole" is Zhou Yan's own original, which is more risky, and may not be able to achieve good results, whether it is at the film festival or at the box office.
"The one that has already been written, can you show it to me?" Xu Feng asked.
Zhou Yan said, "I wrote a book, which was published in the August issue of "Yanjing Literature", if Sister Feng wants to see it, you can find it, the name of the work is "Tree Cave". ”
The issue of "Yenching Literature" in August has been released a few days ago, Zhou Yanren is in Xiangjiang, and he has not yet received the magazine, but he talked to Hua Yang on the phone, and "Tree Cave" is in this issue, and there is no accident.
Xu Feng raised his eyebrows, a little unbelieving his ears, "You mean, you published an article on "Yanjing Literature"?" ”
"Well, yes, it's called 'Tree Hole.'"
Literary creation is not within the scope of the business signed by Zhou Yan and Tomson, so Zhou Yan did not tell Xu Feng about this matter before, and the contract for "Knife in Clear Water" was also signed by himself with Chang'an Studio.
"Okay, I know, I'll go take a look first, and we'll talk later."
After speaking, Xu Feng hung up the phone without waiting for Zhou Yan to respond.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Feng called his assistant again, "Xiao Lu, go buy me a copy of the latest issue of "Yenching Literature". ”
"Yenching literature?" Xiao Lu was surprised.
"Well, "Yenching Literature", you know what it is, right?"
"Know, know, I'll buy it now."
Just over half an hour later, the latest issue of "Yenching Literature" was sent to Xu Feng's desk.
Along with it, there are also recent magazines such as "Harvest" and "People's Literature".
Recently, Xu Feng was looking for a script for Zhou Yan, and Xiao Lu thought that Xu Feng had hit the head of a domestic literary magazine, so he bought several other famous magazines.
Xu Feng didn't say anything, nodded and said, "You go out first." ”
"Okay, Mr. Xu, you have something to call me."
After Xiao Lu left, Xu Feng picked up "Yanjing Literature", then looked for it on the catalog, and soon found "Tree Hole", and then saw the author's name behind it, Xu Feng couldn't help laughing.
"If you take a pen name, you will have a pen name, what is it called, it looks too weird."
It's really strange, Xu Feng looked at the word "Zhouchan", and always wanted to take a pen and draw three strokes in the stomach of "Production", so that it would become "Yan".
According to the page number on the table of contents, Xu Feng found the article "Tree Hole".
Yao Xiang tilted his head, and a drop of rain fell from the sky and hit the tip of his nose......"
It took Xu Feng an hour to finish reading "Tree Cave", and she had a very wonderful feeling at the moment.
Xu Feng doesn't know much about literature, especially the literary circle in the mainland, but she also knows that there is a hurdle between traditional literature and popular literature, and what Xu Feng didn't expect was that Zhou Yan was also on the other side of the hurdle.
This is the case with traditional literature, if you want to talk about how wonderful the story is, it is not necessarily, but there are more ideas in the popular language, which are more attractive and attractive.
But traditional literature tastes good to the touch, and "Tree Hole" is a very flavorful film.
Xu Feng suddenly thought of Chen Kaige, directors like Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou are very concerned about traditional literature.
If Chen Kaige knew that Zhou Yan had written such an article and published it in "Yanjing Literature", what kind of expression would Chen Kaige have?
He must have been envious.
When watching "Tree Hole", Xu Feng always has a feeling of trance, as if the world depicted in it is far away from them, but very close, both realistic and magical.
The reality is that the story in it takes place in the lives of many people, not to mention the mainland, even on the island of Taiwan, where superstition and ghosts and gods harm people everywhere.
But it looks so magical, the dungeon, the crow, the ghost...... It's like a dream.
After pondering for a moment, Xu Feng still called Yanjing Studio.
Chen Kaige was watching the film in the editing workshop, and he heard someone shouting outside, "Director Chen, there is your phone." ”
Without looking up, he asked, "Who?" ”
"Mr. Xu Feng, Mr. Xu, the phone hasn't hung up yet."
Hearing that the phone hadn't hung up yet, Chen Kaige put down what he was doing, hurriedly ran back to the director's office, and picked up the phone.
"Mr. Xu, are you looking for me?"
Xu Feng smiled, "Are you busy?" ”
"It's okay, I was watching the film "Farewell My Concubine" just now."
"If you have time, go find the latest issue of Yenching Literature."
Chen Kaige smiled, "Mr. Xu, when did you become interested in these literary magazines?" ”
"There's an article in it called "Tree Hole", you can take a look at it, and call me back after reading it."
Chen Kaige nodded, "Okay, I'll take a look." ”
After hanging up Xu Feng's phone, Chen Kaige went to the editorial department of "Film Creation", and they like well-known literary magazines will order it.
"Borrow this magazine."
When he arrived at the editorial office, Chen Kaige shouted, and then found the latest issue of "Yanjing Literature" on the magazine shelf.
Taking the magazine back to the office and sitting down, Chen Kaige found "Tree Hole" in the catalog, he glanced at the author's name behind him, and his eyes suddenly narrowed.
Weekly ...... What does this have to do with Zhou Yan?
Under normal circumstances, Chen Kaige might not associate the word Zhou Chan when he saw the word Zhou in a literary magazine, but since Xu Feng specially asked him to read it, then he had to think about Zhou Yan.
Chen Kaige suppressed the doubt for a while and began to look.
He read much faster than Xu Feng, and it only took him forty minutes to finish "Tree Cave".
After reading it, he was full of doubts, could it be that Zhou Yan wrote this? Is this possible?
Zhou Yan does have the ability to write scripts, and he has also read the script of "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly", but "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" and "Tree Hole" are completely different things.
If you can write "Tree Hole", you can already be called a writer.
"Tree Hole" gave him a full sense of magical realism, and now many domestic writers are influenced by Latin American magical realist literature, and their works also have a bit of magical realism.
However, many writers follow suit, write nondescript things, and there are very few writers who can find their way and write their own style.
And "Tree Hole" has obviously gone its own way, you can say that it has the flavor of magical realism, but you can't say that it is deliberately imitating Latin American magical realist literature.
If this was really written by Zhou Yan, Chen Kaige would be a little unacceptable.
Putting down the magazine, Chen Kaige still picked up the phone and dialed Xu Feng.
"This is written by Zhou Yan?"
"What do you think?"
The two asked almost at the same time.
Xu Feng said with a smile, "That's right, it was written by Zhou Yan, what do you think?" ”
Chen Kaige was silent for a moment before he slowly spit out a few words, "I feel like a dream." ”
(End of chapter)
