evening.
Inside a hotel at the foot of Yandang Mountain.
Su Zhengnan, Liu Yifei, and her mother Liu Xiaoli were having dinner in a private room, and they also ordered a bottle of red wine.
Liu Xiaoli smiled and poured Su Zhengnan a glass of red wine, saying, "It's rare for you to come visit the set, Xiao Su. Speaking of which, this should be your first time visiting Qianqian on set, right?"
"Yes, it's the first time."
Su Zhengnan smiled and nodded in agreement.
Liu Xiaoli raised her glass of red wine and smiled slightly, saying, "Come on, Xiao Su, let me toast you. Thank you for writing that album for Xixi."
"Auntie, you're too kind. Helping Qianqian fulfill her dream is also my dream!"
Su Zhengnan raised his glass and clinked it with Liu Xiaoli's, then took a small sip. He really couldn't handle red wine; he felt it was far inferior to domestic baijiu.
"That's not how it works. While it's right for a boyfriend to help his girlfriend fulfill her dreams, that album is quite valuable!"
With a smile on her face, Liu Xiaoli clinked glasses with Su Zhengnan again and said:
"So I still have to thank you for this drink!"
Upon hearing this, Su Zhengnan did not respond, but simply smiled and took a sip of the red wine in his hand.
In fact, Su Zhengnan also knew how valuable that album was.
Don't be fooled by the fact that it's only a dozen or so songs.
But those are all songs that are likely to become huge hits in the future. Any one of them could generate hundreds of millions in copyright fees.
A dozen or so songs could be worth billions in the future; that's no ordinary value.
It's like a rooster that lays golden eggs.
Liu Yifei glanced at her mother and suddenly spoke:
"Mom, drink less. We have to go back to the film set later!"
"I know, don't you know your mom's alcohol tolerance? She can handle this much."
Liu Xiaoli smiled, then looked at Su Zhengnan and asked, "Xiao Su, how many days are you planning to stay this time?"
Su Zhengnan replied, "I'll probably stay for two days. I'll go back when school starts on September 1st."
"Oh, I see!"
Liu Xiaoli nodded and then said, "Then you can take your time to explore this place over the next couple of days. Yandang Mountain is a famous tourist attraction."
"I will, Auntie."
Su Zhengnan smiled slightly and asked in return, "By the way, the album I wrote for Xixi should have been recorded by now, right? I wonder when Auntie plans to release it?"
Although Liu Yifei had already recorded all the songs for that album before coming here to film.
However, considering that she would be filming for the next six months and would have no time to promote the album, Liu Xiaoli did not release the album immediately.
Upon hearing Su Zhengnan's question...
Liu Xiaoli smiled and said, "Let's wait until we finish filming this movie. Then Qianqian will have time to promote the album. I think the sales will be pretty good if we release it then."
Even if it's not until next year.
Su Zhengnan couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Fortunately, the songs he chose were all from 2006 onwards. Otherwise, if he had chosen songs from 2005 to 2006, he might have really clashed with original songs next year.
"What, is there a problem with releasing it next year?"
Liu Xiaoli noticed that Su Zhengnan's expression was a little off and asked him curiously.
Su Zhengnan quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, of course there's no problem with releasing it next year."
"Okay, that's fine."
Liu Xiaoli took a sip of the red wine in her glass, then slowly picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of crispy fish, and put it in her mouth to eat.
Liu Yifei sat next to Su Zhengnan and placed a piece of crispy fish on his plate, saying:
"Brother Su, try this crispy fish, it's delicious."
"Okay, thank you!"
Su Zhengnan smiled and nodded, then picked up the fish from his bowl and began to eat.
You know what, this fish actually tastes pretty good.
Watching Su Zhengnan and her daughter showing off their affection, Liu Xiaoli smiled and shook her head slightly. Once upon a time, she had also fantasized about this kind of love.
But now, she is only interested in her daughter's future.
Liu Xiaoli had long since stopped believing in love.
love?
Can love feed you?
Of course, rich women are an exception!
After the three of them finished dinner, it was almost 8 p.m.
Liu Xiaoli turned to Su Zhengnan and said, "Alright, I'm taking Qianqian back to the film set to rest. Xiao Su, you should go back to the hotel too. If you're free tomorrow, you can come to the set to watch Qianqian film."
"Okay!"
Su Zhengnan nodded, then waved to Liu Yifei and said:
"See you tomorrow, I'll come to watch you filming then."
He knew that it was unrealistic to take Liu Yifei for a walk right now; Liu Xiaoli would never agree, so he could only suppress his impulse.
"Then we'll head back now. Goodnight, Brother Su."
Liu Yifei smiled and waved to Su Zhengnan in response, then was pulled by her mother, Liu Xiaoli, towards the rest area arranged by the film crew.
Liu Yifei originally wanted to give Su Zhengnan a goodnight kiss.
However, Liu Xiaoli was pulling her with a lot of force, and Liu Yifei couldn't break free from her mother's pull, so she had no choice but to follow.
Watching Liu Yifei and her daughter leave, Su Zhengnan chuckled and shook his head slightly before returning to his hotel to rest.
.............
The next day, early morning.
Su Zhengnan got up early, washed up, and then climbed Yandang Mountain to enjoy the sunrise.
The moment the sun rises, the entire earth is bathed in sunlight.
A warm feeling emanated from within.
Su Zhengnan finished his morning exercise on a boulder, then went down the mountain for breakfast before climbing back up to the film set where Liu Yifei and the others were shooting.
At this moment, the crew on set are setting up filming equipment, and everyone is busy.
After seeing Su Zhengnan arrive, Liu Yifei walked over with a smile and said:
"Good morning, Brother Su! Have you had breakfast yet? If not, I have two steamed buns here, you can have them first!"
As she spoke, Liu Yifei stuffed the two meat buns she was carrying into Su Zhengnan's arms.
"Well....."
Su Zhengnan blinked at her and smiled slightly, saying, "Actually, I've already eaten."
"Oh, Brother Su has already eaten? Then what about these steamed buns..."
Liu Yifei was taken aback for a moment, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on her face.
"It's okay, I can eat this bun too."
Su Zhengnan smiled, grabbed a steamed bun, stuffed it into his mouth, took a bite, and said, "You know what, this steamed bun tastes pretty good."
Seeing this, Liu Yifei's face immediately lit up with a smile and she said, "I'm glad you like it, Brother Su. I specially saved this for you!"
"Okay, thank you!"
Su Zhengnan smiled and said.
It was at this moment.
Director Yu Ming, holding a megaphone, shouted to the scene:
"Attention everyone, we're about to start filming! Anyone who hasn't done their makeup, get it on now! Where's the production assistant? Production assistant, come here right now!"
"Brother Su, please sit here and eat slowly. I'll go and get ready; filming is about to start."
Liu Yifei turned her head and glanced at the film set, then smiled at Su Zhengnan.
"Okay, go ahead and do your work, don't worry about me."
Su Zhengnan nodded.
"Then I'll go."
Liu Yifei turned around and walked towards the dressing room with a happy expression.
Su Zhengnan ate the steamed bun in his hand, glanced at Liu Yifei's departing figure, and then curiously looked at the set of the filming location.
You know what?
This director has a pretty good eye for choosing locations.
This area of Yandang Mountain is full of strangely shaped rocks and lush green trees that don't need any special arrangement to serve as a backdrop for martial arts dramas.
Soon, filming began on set.
Today we're reshooting the scenes that Liu Yifei didn't finish filming yesterday afternoon, so the morning's filming will mainly focus on Liu Yifei's portrayal of Xiaolongnu.
"Okay, all departments, take note! Scene 175, shot 4 of 'The Return of the Condor Heroes,' Action!"
As soon as director Yu Ming finished speaking...
Liu Yifei, dressed in a white fairy dress, was hoisted high by wires and then fought with the actor playing the Golden Wheel Monk.
*Slap slap slap...*
A series of clanging sounds from wooden props rang out, making Su Zhengnan quite embarrassed.
Obviously, most of the fighting sounds in martial arts dramas like this are dubbed in post-production, and it's impossible to use real weapons for the actors to fight on set.
What if someone gets hurt if they're given a real weapon?
So whether it's the sword in Liu Yifei's hand or the weapon in the hand of the actor playing the Golden Wheel Monk, they were all made of wood by the props team, so they naturally made a "crackling" sound when they fought.
Liu Yifei is in great shape today.
Even while suspended by wires, Liu Yifei's every fighting move was just right, much better than when they filmed yesterday afternoon.
Is this the power of love?
Director Yu Ming couldn't help but glance at Su Zhengnan not far away before snapping back to watching the footage on camera.
Su Zhengnan sat not far away watching Liu Yifei film. Suddenly, Liu Xiaoli appeared in front of him, pointed to a chair she had brought, and said:
"Sit here and watch, it's tiring to stand."
"Uh, thank you!"
Su Zhengnan didn't stand on ceremony, thanked him, and sat down.
Liu Xiaoli glanced at him and asked with a smile:
"So, Xiao Su, what do you think of Sisi's performance in this scene?"
Su Zhengnan watched the performance intently and replied, "It was filmed very well. Qianqian's fighting moves and expressions were spot on, not to mention that these fighting moves all had to be done while suspended by wires."
"Yes, Sisi has always worked very hard, and she put in a lot of effort for this role."
Liu Xiaoli nodded, her eyes filled with pride for her daughter.
"Okay, cut! Everyone take a break and get ready for the next shot."
At that moment, the director yelled "Cut!" and the scene was finished!
Liu Yifei unfastened the wires binding her and noticed her mother chatting with Su Zhengnan. Smiling, she walked over and asked:
"Mom, Brother Su, what are you talking about?"
Liu Xiaoli smiled slightly and said, "We didn't talk about anything. Xiao Su and I were just praising your acting!"
"No, I don't think it was filmed very well. Some of the movements didn't flow smoothly."
Liu Yifei said somewhat shyly.
Su Zhengnan looked at her and encouraged her, "Don't be modest, you did a really good job. Being suspended by wires for too long can affect blood circulation, so it's normal for the movements to be a bit disjointed."
It's important to know that the wire work at that time was far less safe and comfortable than it would be a decade or so later; it was all simply strapped to the waist and suspended.
Therefore, it is quite difficult, both in terms of the movements themselves and the safety factor.
Only actors who have been filming martial arts dramas for a long time are familiar with the feeling of weightlessness when suspended by wires around their waist and abdomen, and only through long-term practice can their fighting movements look smooth and graceful.
