Chapter 349 A Person Falls Down
The day after the fourth concert ended, Zhou Yan and the others arrived in Taipei City.
As soon as Zhou Yan arrived in Beishi, He Jiajin went to the hotel where they were staying to find him.
In Taiwan, Zhou Yan didn't have many friends. Although He Jiajin didn't have many interactions with him, they had a very good relationship and they felt like friends at first sight.
The key is that the two experienced a "battle" together.
It was also because of He Jiajin that Zhou Yancai met Wang Zuxian.
After the broadcast of "Bao Qingtian", Ho Jiajin, who became famous, returned to Hong Kong to develop for a period of time, but the effect was mediocre.
In the past two years in Hong Kong, he has acted in movies and released music albums, but there has been little response, which is not as good as his development in Taiwan.
After weighing the situation, he decided to return to Taiwan again.
After not seeing him for a long time, He Jiajin didn't look much different from before. As soon as they met, he gave Zhou Yan a warm hug.
He patted Zhou Yan on the shoulder, "You are much stronger now than before. You should be bigger than when you were filming "Green Snake"."
"It's a bit big."
He Jiajin nodded and joked, "In that previous fight, if you were as strong as you are now, I'm afraid you wouldn't have to sit on the bench."
His words brought Zhou Yan's thoughts back to the night when he met Wang Zuxian for the first time. There were four people in total that night, and besides them there was Chen Derong.
At that time, Wang Zuxian and the others encountered a drunken man teasing them, and Zhou Yan used the bench to beat them down.
Zhou Yan said with a smile, "No matter how good your skills are, you are still afraid of kitchen knives. No matter how strong you are, you still have to hit the guy who should be hit. At least your hands won't hurt."
"If we meet again now, would you dare to get on the bench?"
What He Jiajin meant was that Zhou Yan was so famous now that he would be easily recognized. If he beat someone on the bench again, he might be reported to the police the next day.
As for humans, the more beautiful feathers they have on their bodies, the more they cherish them.
At that time, Wang Zuxian and the others were better disguised and were not recognized, otherwise they would definitely have been punished.
Zhou Yan shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "If the same thing happens again, I will naturally take action. As for what to copy, it depends on what is around me."
"The security here in Bei City is pretty good, and there are very few such things. You haven't encountered them in Xiangjiang, and it's even harder to encounter them here."
What He Jiajing said implicitly was that Xiangjiang was much more chaotic than the Beishi side.
Xiangjiang was indeed not peaceful before, and Zhou Yan had heard about many things in the world, but he had only heard about them and had never seen them with his own eyes.
After all, he didn't spend much time in Xiangjiang. Apart from Anita Mui and the others, he had very little contact with other people.
And in the past few years, as the return is getting closer and closer, the gangs in Xiangjiang have become more peaceful. The bosses are busy transforming, and they are even less likely to take the initiative to provoke Zhou Yan.
After a few more pleasantries, Zhou Yan invited He Jiajin to sit on the sofa, and then asked, "Are you busy during this period?"
"It's not too busy. In fact, I just came from Xiangjiang not long ago. If you go to Xiangjiang to hold a concert early, I can meet you in Xiangjiang." Speaking of this, He Jiajin smiled, "But after a while, I Going to the mainland.”
"Going to the mainland?"
"Well, China Television has a new drama called "Legend of the Beggar Emperor", which is going to be filmed in the mainland."
Zhou Yan nodded. He was really impressed by this TV series. The ratings in mainland China were pretty good.
"The Beggar Emperor, is this the story of Zhu Yuanzhang?" Zhou Yan asked knowingly.
"Yes, I will play Zhu Yuanzhang."
Zhou Yan looked at He Jiajin up and down, "You are too handsome to play Zhu Yuanzhang."
"I just thought you were complimenting me."
"I am indeed complimenting you." Zhou Yan smiled and said, "I went to the mainland. You can come and play with me when you have time."
"I will definitely go if I have time, but it may be difficult. The filming locations are all in the south, too far away from Yanjing. And as you know, China Television's filming time is very tight."
"Then it depends on you. Anyway, as long as you go, I will entertain you well."
"Anyway, thank you in advance for your kindness."
"Why are you being polite to me? When I came to Taiwan, weren't you the one who acted as my guide?"
He Jiajin smiled and waved his hand, "I can't talk about guides. I'm not very familiar with this place myself. During that time..."
As he was speaking, Zhou Yan raised his hand to look at his watch, and this action was captured by him.
"Are you busy with something?"
Zhou Yan nodded, "I'm going out to eat with friends later."
Hearing what Zhou Yan said, He Jiajin held his knees to stand up, "Since you have an appointment, I won't disturb you. Let's make another appointment later when we have time."
Zhou Yan stood up and grabbed him, "Look what you said, it's not easy to meet him, let's at least have a meal together."
He Jiajin smiled and said, "Oh, don't think about me, just go about your business. I'm not a hypocritical person, it doesn't matter."
Zhou Yan smiled and said, "You also know the friend I'm talking about."
"I know him too?" He Jiajin said in surprise.
He frowned and thought for a while, and then asked uncertainly, "This friend you are talking about can't be Wang Zuxian, right?"
Zhou Yan nodded, "That's her. She has also returned to Taiwan in the past two days."
Hearing that it was Wang Zuxian, He Jiajin sat back and said, "She has also returned to Taiwan. I haven't seen her for a long time. What is she busy with recently? Is there any new drama coming up?"
"No." Zhou Yan shook his head, "She hasn't filmed in the past two years."
He Jiajin thought for a while and said, "As you said, I also remembered it. It's been a long time since I saw her new drama."
"It just so happens that we are all in Taiwan, so we'll take this opportunity to have a meal together."
He Jiajin immediately said, "Then I'll treat you today."
Zhou Yan shrugged his shoulders, "If you want to treat me, go and fight with her as the host. Anyway, I will definitely only have one mouth, waiting for you to feed me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the mobile phone on the table rang. He picked it up and said a few words, and then said to He Jiajin, "Let's go, she's already waiting for us below."
"good."
…
As soon as the two of them arrived downstairs in the hotel, Wang Zuxian, who was sitting on the sofa in the lobby wearing sunglasses, waved to them, "Here."
Next to Wang Zuxian, there was a girl sitting, also wearing sunglasses, who looked one size smaller than Wang Zuxian.
Although she couldn't see clearly through her sunglasses, Zhou Yan knew it was Chen Derong.
Zhou Yan and He Jiajin walked quickly to the two girls. Wang Zuxian smiled and greeted He Jiajin, "Brother Jin."
Chen Derong next to him smiled and said hello, "Brother Three, Brother Jin."
Hearing Chen Derong call him third brother, Zhou Yan glanced at Wang Zuxian. Don't ask, she must have told Chen Derong this name.
He Jiajin was quite surprised to hear Chen Derong calling Zhou Yan third brother. It seemed that Chen Derong and Zhou Yan had a pretty good relationship? They all called me Third Brother.
As for why she called her third brother, He Jiajin didn't have a hard time asking.
After reuniting, several people quickly walked out of the hotel without any delay.
Among them, only Chen Derong has a car and a driver's license in Taiwan, and today she also took on the role of driver.
After getting in the car, Chen Derong took off his sunglasses. After not seeing him for several years, Chen Derong was much more mature than when he saw him before.
Chen Derong has always looked more mature than her peers. When she was 15 years old and co-starred with Stephen Chow in "Brother Collide", she looked like an adult. No one would have thought that she was only 15 years old.
Chen Derong is only twenty-two years old this year, but now she and Wang Zuxian are standing together. They look about the same age, one looks mature and the other looks young, but there is a seven-year age difference between the two.
Her popularity has risen a lot in recent years, and she is now the top actress in Taiwan and Qiong Yao's favorite heroine.
After her new drama "Yilian Youmeng" was aired in March, it was no surprise that it ranked first in ratings.
Wang Zuxian was sitting in the passenger seat, and Zhou Yan and He Jiajin were sitting in the back seat. Halfway through, He Jiajin looked out the window and asked, "Where are we going to eat?"
"Go to Silver Wing." Chen Derong replied.
"Oh, Silver Wings." He Jiajin nodded.
Although Zhou Yan has never heard of Silver Wing, judging from He Jiajin's reaction, this restaurant should be quite famous in Taiwan.
At this time, Chen Derong smiled in front and said, "Isn't Third Brother from Jinling? I will take you to eat Huaiyang cuisine today. Yinyi's Huaiyang cuisine is very famous."
He Jiajin echoed, "Indeed, I have eaten it, and the dishes are very authentic. Silver Wing used to be the canteen of the Air Force Freshmen Club, and later it became a private restaurant. The chefs there all came from Hangzhou, so their craftsmanship is very good. "
Hearing He Jiajin's introduction, Chen Derong was surprised and said, "Brother Jin, you know so much, I don't even know it."
"I don't know either." Wang Zuxian smiled.
"Haha, it's normal. The locals don't understand this."
"The restaurant was booked by Xiao Rong. Today she heard that the third brother was coming and she insisted on treating her." Wang Zuxian said.
"I was just telling Zhou Yan to invite him."
"Brother Jin, you should wait until next time and give me the opportunity this time."
"Since you have booked a restaurant, I won't be polite to you this time. I will take you to eat somewhere else if I have the opportunity later."
Zhou Yan didn't have high hopes for this Silver Wing restaurant. It's easy for things like cuisine to go wrong across regions.
In fact, he felt that there was something wrong with Chen Derong's thinking. Since he came to Taiwan, he should try something that is well-known in Taiwan but not available in other places.
…
The car stopped on Jinshan South Road, and there was no dedicated parking lot nearby. They could only park the car on the roadside and walk there.
The door of the Silver Wing Restaurant is not big, just slightly larger than an ordinary food stall. The door is still pure red with two large white characters of YINYING written on it. The style is quite contemporary, but the material of the door makes it look very different. It seems to have been replaced not long ago.
It's only around five o'clock now, and it's not really dinner time, but there are already some customers in the restaurant, which shows that business is indeed good.
Because the business was so good, if you came to dine at last minute, you couldn't get a private room at all. However, Chen Derong had already made a reservation in advance. After entering the restaurant and talking to the waiter, they were led to a small private room.
After entering the private room, Chen Derong handed the menu to Zhou Yan, "Third brother, if you want to eat anything, just order it."
Zhou Yan declined with a smile, "I'm not good at ordering, and I've never been to this restaurant before, so I don't know what dishes are delicious, so you guys should order them."
Chen Derong handed the menu to He Jiajin again, but the latter also declined.
Seeing their refusal, Chen Derong was no longer polite, and he and Wang Zuxian began to order.
The two of them studied for a while and ordered a bunch of dishes. Zhou Yan quickly stopped him, "There are only four of us, don't order too much."
"You can't finish the meal and take it away." Chen Derong laughed and asked, "What do you want to drink?"
Zhou Yan waved his hand and said, "I won't drink anymore. I still have work tomorrow."
Before Chen Derong finished speaking, He Jiajin smiled and said, "It's not like I have work tonight. Drinking less will delay tomorrow's work? Let's not drink anything strong and get some beer."
Seeing how enthusiastic He Jiajin was, Zhou Yan thought that it was indeed a long time since he last met, and it was a rare time to get together to have a drink, so he nodded and said, "Then drink some beer."
After ordering, we started chatting before the food came out.
Chen Derong said with a smile, "Looking at this scene, I remembered the first time I met the third brother with my sister Xiaoxian. That time we didn't find a private room, but just in the lobby of a small hotel. We also met that time A few hooligans, but the third brother is the hero who saved the beauty."
Seeing Chen Derong talking about that day, He Jiajin smiled and said, "If I hadn't drank too much that day, I wouldn't have been able to do as well as this guy did."
Wang Zuxian rolled his eyes and said, "Stop talking, brother Jin, you drank too much that day. Did you have a bottle of beer?"
He Jiajin immediately retorted, "How is that possible? There are definitely two bottles."
Wang Zuxian gave an exaggerated thumbs up, "Wow, two bottles, so beneficial."
Hearing Wang Zuxian mocking He Jiajin, Chen Derong next to him also laughed. Although it was still the four of them, everyone had changed a lot in just a few years.
When the four of them got together, the most famous one was naturally her sister Xiaoxian. She was actually not much different from He Jiajin.
As for Zhou Yan, he is only slightly famous in the music industry, but he is considered the least well-known.
Nowadays, the world has changed, and her and He Jiajin's reputations have increased more than a little, but Zhou Yan is even different.
Of course, the change in career is only one aspect. The biggest change is everyone's state, especially her sister Xiaoxian, who is in a much better state than back then.
Most likely it was because she had not worked for a long time. She looked very relaxed.
As expected, people still can’t work.
After reminiscing about the past for a while, they talked about Zhou Yan's concert again.
Regarding Zhou Yan's grand concert in Xiangjiang a few days ago, there have been many media reports on Taiwan.
"I read on the news that on the last day of your concert at the Xiangjiang Cultural Center, Third Brother, someone was squeezed into Victoria Harbor because the venue was too crowded?"
"puff--"
Wang Zuxian had just taken a drink of water, and when he heard Chen Derong's words, he almost spit out the water in his mouth.
"Xiao Rong, what report are you reading?"
"I didn't pay attention to the name of the newspaper in the company. It even had photos of people falling into the water."
"And there are photos?" Wang Zuxian asked in surprise.
Chen Derong nodded seriously, "In the photo, there is a person in the water, as if he is flopping."
Zhou Yan smiled and said: "There is no such thing. If someone fell into the water at the scene, there is no way I wouldn't know about it."
Moreover, it is impossible for people to be squeezed into the water. Although the Victoria Harbor is in front of the Hong Kong Cultural Center, there are large open spaces on both sides. Even if they are in a hurry, it is impossible for the audience to squeeze towards the shore.
Besides, the shore is well protected, so it’s not easy to squeeze in. There are also many security personnel on site and will never let this happen.
"That photo..."
"The photos may not be from that day."
Zhou Yanke is very clear about the tricks of the media. Writing some baseless, exaggerated and eye-catching news, and then pairing it with a specious and imagination-inducing picture can make readers think in the direction they lead.
No matter what era, such fake news appears in endlessly.
The piece of news that impressed Zhou Yan the most was "Wolfsburg won a big victory, Zhang Xizhe got a hat-trick." When a normal person sees this news headline, they will naturally think that Zhang Xizhe scored three goals in the game and helped Wolfsburg win.
But when I clicked in, I discovered that Zhang Xizhe didn't play at all, but sat on the sidelines wearing a peaked cap to watch the game. (End of chapter)
