Unexpectedly, Wang Yueheng looked at the female lead Lin Yin and replied in fluent Cantonese with a serious expression, "I know, that's why I need to read the script and understand what kind of story it is."
“I am also very interested in the Journey to the West theme, and I am confident that I can write a good song for Director Zhou An.”
"..."
As Wang Yueheng spoke in fluent Cantonese, everyone in the room fell silent.
On the opposite side were Cao Da, Lin Yin, and Mozi and others standing next to Wang Yueheng.
They all looked at Wang Yueheng with incredulous expressions.
This sudden shift to standard Cantonese accent…
He's practically a native Hong Konger!
Her pronunciation is even more standard than that of native Hong Kong star Lin Yin!
His deep and clear pronunciation is on par with that of a Hong Kong TV anchor.
"So he can speak Cantonese!"
Immediately, everyone in the crew breathed a sigh of relief for Wang Yueheng.
The lead actor, Xu Zheng, and others stared at Wang Yueheng in disbelief.
They had checked the singer and director's information before, but they didn't remember any record of them having been to Hong Kong.
Mo Zixue stared wide-eyed in astonishment.
Having followed Wang Yueheng for so long, this was the first time she had ever heard him speak Cantonese, and surprisingly, so fluently!
However, Wang Yueheng still relied on a translator to communicate with some people from Hong Kong Island at the wedding last time.
"I recently became interested in Hong Kong films and taught myself Cantonese for a while. I never expected it to come in so handy."
Seeing Mo Zixue's shocked and puzzled expression, Wang Yueheng felt a slight smirk and explained in a low voice.
Thanks to the reward of the domineering language.
Let alone Cantonese.
Other less common and obscure dialects, as well as various foreign languages, are just like his mother tongue to him, and he uses them without any pressure.
Mo Zixue was stunned by Wang Yueheng's explanation and could only categorize him as a linguistic genius.
Hearing Wang Yueheng speak such standard Cantonese was quite a surprise.
Director Zhou An breathed a sigh of relief and then continued in Cantonese, "I was in such a hurry today that I forgot to bring the script. I will send someone to deliver the script to Mr. Wang Yueheng for review later."
Wang Yueheng replied with a smile in fluent Cantonese, "Then I'll have to trouble Director Zhou!"
soon.
Upon receiving Zhou An's message, the crew of "Journey to the West: Legend" quickly sent over the script.
Along with him came Luo Shoucheng, the second male lead in the film.
He was also eager to meet this mainland singer.
Let's see what kind of skills the other party has that have attracted such attention from Director Zhou An.
Feeling the pressure, he just spoke with his uncle, composer Luo Tianhua, on the phone, informing him that director Zhou An wanted to commission Wang Yueheng to write a song.
"Don't worry, the song your uncle gave you is absolutely a top-notch piece."
"A mere mainland pop singer has absolutely no right to compete with me."
Upon learning that director Zhou An intended to commission Wang Yueheng, a popular singer from mainland China, Luo Tianhua spoke with arrogance on the other end of the phone.
Approaching fifty, Law Tin-wah, who has composed hit songs for many top Hong Kong stars, doesn't feel that Wang Yueheng, who is only twenty, poses any threat to his work.
Such young people have no experience or depth; at best, they can only write some shallow love songs.
How could anyone possibly grasp the profound thoughts expressed in the films of top director Zhou An?
Furthermore, Director Zhou An's requirements for the theme song were extremely demanding, no less than those for film and television works.
Even Luo Tianhua read Zhou An's script four or five times before he wrote the theme song for "Love in the West".
It's simply impossible for a young mainland singer to surpass himself.
