Chapter 242 Interlude
Zhou Liwen yelled, and at the same time, this exclamation came from behind him. He stood firm and looked back and saw a young woman in ancient costume squatting on the ground with her arms covering her face.
"I'm sorry, I was hurt? Are you okay?" Originally, Zhou Liwen was in a state of fire and was about to see which rash ghost was walking without eyes, but when he saw that the girl was hitting him, the fire that had just surged in his heart suddenly subsided. It was not that Zhou Liwen's legs became weak when he saw the woman, but after all, he was a man and he was not injured. Instead, he looked at the other party as if he was seriously injured, so he hurried forward to ask.
The woman who hit Zhou Liwen sucked the air conditioner, and the pain was so painful that she couldn't speak for a while. She raised her uninjured hand and waved it to Zhou Liwen, but Zhou Liwen saw something wrong with her, so she squatted down.
"Where did you hit?"
"Arm...it seems like the arm can't move..."
"Don't move around, let me see..." Zhou Liwen held down the woman's right hand that was trying to raise and gently pressed the other party's joint: "Does it hurt here? What about this? Does it hurt?"
Try them one by one. When pressed to the outside of the forearm, the other party took a deep breath and let out a lot of pain.
"It's okay, the bones are not injured, it should be damaged."
"Are you a doctor?"
"I'm not a doctor, but I usually like to exercise to understand some knowledge about orthopedic massage." Zhou Liwen explained, pinching the acupoints with his fingers and said, "I'll press it for you, and I'll endure it for the time being."
After massage at several acupoints, she then stretched the other party. The woman was so painful that her forehead was sweating. However, what surprised Zhou Liwen was that she gritted her teeth and hung it but didn't shout.
"Okay, you can try raising your hand and lift it slowly to see if you can move now?"
"Let me try... Hey, my hand can move, but the wounded area still hurts a little." The other party moved his arm and said in surprise.
"Haha, it seems that I'm right. I'm really hurting my tendons. It's okay. I'll find a bottle of safflower oil to rub it later. I'll have a sleep and it'll be OK tomorrow."
"Thank you, I'm so embarrassed just now, are you okay?"
"Haha, of course I'm fine."
The other party apologized, what else could Zhou Liwen say? And Zhou Liwen nodded secretly about the other party's cultivation. In fact, when the other party waved his hand to him with pain, he could see that this woman had already apologized to him in this way. Judging from her outfit, she should be an actor. It is extremely rare to have such cultivation as an actress.
When the woman stood up and raised her hand to combed her scattered hair, Zhou Liwen saw her face clearly.
"Are you... Xiang Yue?"
"Well, why, you know me?"
"Haha, are you really Xiang Yue?" Zhou Liwen said in surprise. He didn't expect to meet Xiang Yue here, but the other party was an actor, and here is Hengdian. Although it was a coincidence, it was not surprising. If Xiang Yue was one of the few actors Zhou Liwen admired in her previous life, it was not her fame. To be honest, Xiang Yue has been half-popular since her debut. Although he had filmed several award-winning films and had collaborated with several big names in the circle, until 2014, Xiang Yue was still considered an ordinary second-tier star.
Zhou Liwen's appreciation of Xiang Yue is that she is a fellow villager in Shanghai, and secondly, Xiang Yue has never heard of any slander for more than ten years since her debut. Perhaps there are some reasons why she came from a scholarly family with her. In Zhou Liwen's view, Xiang Yue, who is a kind-hearted person in the entertainment industry, has never deliberately hyped herself up except filming, and has never had any gossip news. Perhaps, this is the real reason why she has never become popular.
"I've watched your film, and you performed so well in it. By the way, it's one from last year..." Zhou Liwen said with a smile, and mentioned the title. Xiang Yue seemed very happy when he heard it, because although her film won an award, the box office and impact were not very good. Unexpectedly, a stranger who had met for the first time actually watched this film and became her fan.
The two stood on the bridge and chatted for a few words. Xiang Yue was surprised to find that Zhou Liwen spoke from the beginning in Shanghai dialect.
"Are you from Shanghai?"
"Yes, I also know your father, Mr. Xiang, but that happened a few years ago. I participated in a calligraphy tutoring class in high school, and Mr. Xiang was the one who led the class. However, there were many people in the class at that time, and it took so long to go on, so I'm afraid he won't remember me."
"This is such a coincidence. So you are my junior brother." Xiang Yue laughed straightforwardly, and Zhou Liwen nodded awkwardly at all. He knew that Xiang Yue had learned calligraphy and painting from Mr. Xiang since he was a child. From this point of view, he could indeed be regarded as her junior brother.
"Xiang Yue!Xiang Yue!"
Just when the two were having a happy chat, a young woman in ancient costume ran from a distance. When she saw Xiang Yue, she quickly complained: "Why are you still here? Hurry up! The director was almost angry after waiting for a long time."
"Oh, why did I forget this?" Xiang Yue suddenly woke up, greeted Zhou Liwen, and hurriedly followed the other party and left in a hurry.
Seeing Xiang Yue suddenly leaving, Zhou Liwen was not angry because he could hear the conversation they had just now. He was very happy today when he met by chance. Unexpectedly, this trip to Hengdian was a bit rewarding, but he forgot to ask her to sign an autograph for himself, and he suddenly remembered this after she left.
With a smile, Zhou Liwen continued to find the location Jun Ge mentioned. He walked around the neighborhood for a long time. After about ten minutes, Zhou Liwen finally found a place.
"I said Brother Zhou, didn't you say that you had already reached the door? Why didn't you see anyone for half an hour?"
When he arrived at the entrance of the building, Zhou Liwen was about to step in when he met Brother Jun who came out of it. He grabbed Zhou Liwen and complained.
"Can I blame me? This place is like a maze. It would be nice if I could find the ground. By the way, why didn't I answer the phone call you just now?"
"Have you called me again?" Brother Jun took out his cell phone and smiled embarrassedly: "I'm watching filming in front, and I've set a mute."
Zhou Liwen shook her head laughed and cried, and looked up at the quaint restaurant: "What? I'm shooting here today? Didn't I tell you to meet the crew first?"
"I'll see you while filming. You can't let everyone not do anything, right? Brother Zhou, you, the producer, won't blame me for your unauthorized decision?" Brother Jun asked happily.
"Go to you, I just have a name. I know nothing about filming. I'm almost the same as filming. If you didn't call me over, you wouldn't be too lazy to run this trip."
"Hahaha! I'll just say, let's take you in and have a look. Actually, this filming is very interesting. Let me tell you..." Brother Jun pulled Zhou Liwen with his arms around and walked into the building, and while walking, he was talking about some interesting things about filming.
This restaurant has three floors in total, and is arranged completely according to the restaurant in the Ming and Qing dynasties. There is a sign of "Drunk Fairy Tower" hanging at the door. After entering the door, there is a horizontal plaque of "Taibai Legacy". This time, Jun Ge was filming a costume TV series. Zhou Liwen had never watched the specific script. Anyway, it is inseparable from plots such as men and women, grievances and sorrows. In recent years, the mainland film market has not been very good. Not to mention a playful film company like Jun Ge, even several famous directors have barely guaranteed their capital. After filming several movies in a row, Jun Ge almost made a pants. If he hadn't occupied a share in Zhou Liwen's mobile phone project, his team would have gone bankrupt long ago.
Compared with movies, TV series has become popular recently, especially the "My Fair Princess" filmed in the past two years has been almost popular across the Taiwan Strait and the three places. Brother Jun saw that he only lost money but did not make a profit when he thought about it. After a while, he started filming a TV series. He found a screenwriter and wrote such a script, intending to use this TV series to make a comeback.
To be honest, Zhou Liwen is not optimistic about Jun Ge's investment. In his opinion, he is just being idle and spending money. But due to favors, Zhou Liwen still invested in his TV series and just regarded it as playing with him.
Today, the scene was taken at the restaurant. The shooting scene was on the second floor. Several men and women were wearing ancient costumes sitting at the table, with props like swords on the side. The lights, cameras, directors, and scene records on the other side... are all in place, and the filming is lively.
When he walked upstairs, Zhou Liwen was stunned, because he saw Xiang Yue, who had just broken up, was among them at first sight. She seemed to be playing a female hero, and said a few lines to each other with a young man who seemed to be so slutty and pretended to be frowned with a folding fan in his hand, and then he drew his sword and started fighting...
"Card!"
After a few hits, the director called Ka and shouted at Xiang Yue who stopped the action with dissatisfaction: "Xiang Yue, what's wrong with you? You are a female hero! Not a resentful girl! You are holding a sword in your hand, not an embroidery needle! You think you are shooting Dongfang Bubai! Are you playing this light and level sword? What did you say just now? Stable! Ruthless! Accurate! Do you understand?"
"I understand the director..." Xiang Yue nodded quickly, but his brows frowned slightly at the same time. It was not that she didn't know the director's request, but now she couldn't use her right arm at all. How could she meet the director's request?
Backing back to its original position, Xiang Yue moved his arm, took a deep breath and nodded to the director. The director gave the order and continued the shooting.
"You lewdie! Look at the sword!" According to the line, Xiang Yue raised his eyebrows and pulled his sword and stabbed it at the oily and pink face. The other party waved the folding fan in a casual manner, blocking Xiang Yue's sword like a seal. According to the plot, Xiang Yue had to change his move immediately after one move, but as soon as she turned her wrist, she heard a whisper, and the sword in her hand actually fell to the ground.
"Card!Card!Card!"
The director was so angry that he almost jumped up. How much does the prop sword weigh? Even the little baby can play with it, but Xiang Yue, as a formal actor, made such a mistake and immediately scolded Xiang Yue.
Zhou Liwen couldn't stand it anymore. Of course, he knew what was the reason for Xiang Yue's mistake, but he didn't refute the director's scolding Xiang Yue, but just apologized repeatedly.
"Okay, let's get to this day." Zhou Liwen stood forward and spoke. As soon as he opened his mouth, he attracted the attention of everyone present. Everyone looked at Zhou Liwen at the same time. When they saw Zhou Liwen, a stranger, actually said such words, the already angry director raised his eyebrows and almost shouted that someone would drive this guy out.
At this time, Brother Jun was very eye-catching and quickly stepped forward to stand beside Zhou Liwen, and smiled and said to the director: "Director Zhang, come on, let me introduce you to you, this is our producer, Jay Chou."
"Haha, it turns out that you are Jay Chou, I have been looking forward to it for a long time." Director Zhang may have been born in Sichuan opera, and his face became fast enough. The first second was cold as ice, and the next second was like a bath in the spring breeze. He walked forward enthusiastically and stretched out his hands to hold Zhou Liwen with his hands.
"I have been awarded Director Zhang, you are a famous director in the entertainment industry. I watched the movies and TV series you made many years ago. I didn't expect that there would be a chance to cooperate today." Huahuashi lifted the man, and Zhou Liwen shook hands with Director Zhang with a polite smile.
"Everywhere... it's everyone's love. I have to ask Jay Chou to take care of him in the future." Director Zhang's eyes were so slit that his smile was almost the same as Amitabha Buddha.
"It must be." Zhou Liwen also smiled and nodded, then waved at Xiang Yue who was a little dazed under the gaze of everyone: "Senior Sister Xiang, why are you still standing there? Have you forgotten the junior brother?"
"You...how could you..." Xiang Yue was a little confused and asked in front of Zhou Liwen subconsciously.
"Haha, this is called fate. I didn't expect that Sister Xiang would be the heroine of my play. By the way, Brother Jun, why didn't you mention this to me at the beginning? You're not interested enough."
"Grandma, I've given you the list a long time ago. You didn't think about it yourself!" Brother Jun said in his stomach, but he smiled and shook his head without saying a word, deliberately making a mysterious look.
"Jay Jay Chou belongs to Xiao Xiang...? Can you be so...?" Seeing that Zhou Liwen and Xiang Yue were so familiar, Director Zhang was a little confused for a moment and couldn't help asking.
"Haha, don't get me wrong. I'm not a performer. Speaking of which, I have to start with Mr. Xiang's seniority."
After Zhou Liwen said this, Director Zhang suddenly realized and nodded with a smile.
Zhou Liwen properly relieved Xiang Yue and found a reason to let her rest for the time being today and not participate in the filming anymore. Of course, Director Zhang would not refuse the producer's request. Whoever pays for the boss is the boss, and whoever is the boss will have a loud voice. This is an eternal truth. Moreover, seeing that Zhou Liwen and Xiang Yue have a good relationship and familiarity, Director Zhang even thought in his heart that he must take good care of Xiang Yue for this film and strengthen her role. Didn't Zhou Liwen just said that Xiang Yue is the heroine, but in fact, Xiang Yue is only in the second and third position in this film, but the boss said that if he is not the heroine, he must be the heroine.
As a producer, Zhou Liwen met with crew members one by one under Junge's arrangement. After that, Zhou Liwen called Xiang Yue aside and gave her a business card, telling her that if there are any problems during the shooting, she could call herself anytime and anywhere. She asked her to have a good rest today and it would not be too late to continue shooting when her hands were ready tomorrow.
After dealing with these things, Zhou Liwen called Brother Jun to leave the restaurant. After leaving the restaurant, Brother Jun looked up and down at Zhou Liwen, with a meaningful smile in his eyes.
"Hey, why do you look at me like that?"
"Haha, I didn't expect Brother Zhou to love this kind of mouthful? But to be honest, I have a good eye. Although Xiang Yue is not particularly beautiful, he has a very delicious taste..."
"Go to you! Your thoughts are so dirty." Zhou Liwen immediately laughed and said that there was nothing between him and Xiang Yue, but the more he explained, the more he didn't believe it. He patted his chest and promised him that he would take good care of Zhou Liwen, the confidante, which made Zhou Liwen laugh and cry.
