Chapter 6

, scenes depicting interpersonal relationships, have wrapped up filming.

Zhou Yan wore a white brocade robe with a white cloak behind him. The robe was decorated with golden auspicious cloud patterns on his waist, ribs, and collar. He wore a jade crown, had cascading black hair, and dragon horns on his head. He exuded nobility, making people feel inferior in comparison. He was as dazzling as the sun and dared not look directly at him.

Zhou Yan is very tall and stands like a pine tree, upright and strong. This outfit suits her perfectly, neither too bulky nor too thin.

As Zhou Yan strode forward, his cloak billowed in the wind, making him appear like a victorious champion returning home, or a celestial being descending to earth to capture demons.

The staff of "Journey to the West Sequel" were fine; they had seen Zhou Yan's look before and were already used to it.

But the staff at the Beijing Film Studio and the extras on set were different; it was the first time they had seen Zhou Yan in such a look, and they were immediately amazed.

"Alright, let's start filming," Director Yang Jie announced, rousing everyone from the set.

Everyone performed their duties. Some extras stood opposite Zhou Yan, while others stood behind him. The staff members returned to their positions, ready for action.

"Xiao Zhou, are the lines okay?" Yang Jie asked.

"Don't worry, director," Zhou Yan said, giving an "OK" sign.

"Okay, let's begin!"

As the clapperboard began to play, extras dressed as crab generals walked onto the stage.

"Your Highness, please come in." The crab general's tone was full of flattery.

"No need to invite him, just tell him to come out," Zhou Yan waved his hand in refusal, his imposing manner radiating authority.

In Zhou Yan's understanding, Prince Moang was the eldest prince of the Western Sea, a true dragon.

A true dragon must possess the majesty of a true dragon.

Especially when facing these small fry, they naturally exude an aura of authority and oppression.

This is a suppression based on bloodline!

"Yes, yes," Crab General said, his voice trembling slightly as he panicked.

He was genuinely a little scared.

"This Prince Moang is a bit scary," Crab General thought to himself.

"Okay, cut," Yang Jie nodded in satisfaction after watching the video repeatedly on the monitor.

"Good, next one."

……

As each take was filmed, the fight scenes were finally filmed.

Yuen Woo-ping came to supervise in person.

Zhou Yan and teacher An Yaping had a fistfight in the studio, exchanging punches and kicks with a visceral feel, making it a very exciting and intense match.

Zhou Yan's leg techniques, in particular, are like dragons, graceful and beautiful, like a scorpion wagging its tail, poetic and picturesque!

Zhou Yan graduated from "Songjiang Martial Arts School". Teacher An Yaping is also remarkable. He entered the amateur martial arts team at the age of 7 and joined the Gansu Provincial Martial Arts Team at the age of 11.

He won the double hook championship at the National Wushu Competition in 84, demonstrating both skill and strength.

The only downside is that he is getting older and his body is not as agile as before, so he needs a stunt double to help him with some of the more difficult moves.

If even a stand-in can't do it, then we'll have to ask Zhou Yan for help.

Zhou Yan was younger than everyone else, and his skills were better than everyone else's. Moreover, his movements were beautiful and grand, combining power and entertainment, so everyone liked to ask him for help.

This fight scene took two whole days to film, and a lot of props were damaged in the process.

Fortunately, the results were good, and everyone's hard work was worthwhile.

The final result will be even more spectacular after post-production editing and the addition of special effects.

After this scene was filmed, Zhou Yan's scenes were completely finished.

Cao Rong had almost recovered and returned to the film crew.

Zhou Yan did not stay on set any longer and bid a reluctant farewell to Director Yang Jie, Teacher Wang Chongqiu, Sister Yang Yunfei, Teacher Liu, Teacher Xu Shaohua, Teacher An Yaping, and others.

Teacher An Yaping had one more scene to film, and the filming wrapped up only after that scene was completed.

However, that scene was not filmed at the Beijing Film Studio, but rather at the "Zhuozhou Film and Television City".

Before leaving, Zhou Yan also received his payment, a total of eight thousand yuan.

Zhou Yan joined the crew on June 16 and left on July 25. In addition to his role as Prince Moang, he also made cameo appearances as a "martial arts instructor" and "martial arts stuntman".

Eight thousand yuan is not a lot, but it's not a small amount either, and Zhou Yan is quite content.

"Thank you," Zhou Yan said, thanking the finance department before heading to the props department.

"Brother Jie," Zhou Yan found Wang Jie.

"Xiao Zhou, what brings you here?" Wang Jie was a little surprised. He knew that Zhou Yan had finished filming and thought that the other party had already left.

Is there anything worth cherishing?

"Brother Wang, take this to drink," Zhou Yan said casually, handing Wang Jie two hundred yuan.

Two hundred yuan in 98 was a lot of money. Taking Zhou Yan's hometown of Jizhou as an example, a teacher's monthly salary was only a little over three hundred yuan.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing?" Wang Jie was startled and hurriedly waved his hand to refuse.

"Brother, is there something you need my help with?" Unsolicited kindness is always suspicious, and Wang Jie didn't lose his composure because of the money.

"A little," Zhou Yan nodded.

"I knew it," Wang Jie said, as if he knew exactly what was going on. "So, what is it?"

Wang Jie and Zhou Yan have a good relationship, so he will definitely help him if he can.

"Brother Wang, it's like this," Zhou Yan explained his situation, "As you know, Prince Moang was the first role I ever played, so it's very memorable. That's why I wanted to fund the purchase of his costume and weapons as a keepsake."

"That's it?" Wang Jie thought it was something serious. This is all?

"That's all. This two hundred yuan is for buying props. After all, we can't just take things from the production crew for free," Zhou Yan said, knowing the proper etiquette.

"That's not enough," the clothes and weapons combined don't even amount to a hundred.

"The rest is for Brother Wang's hard work. I've troubled you a lot these past few days," Zhou Yan said, stuffing two hundred yuan into the other man's pocket.

"Fine, you can have it," Wang Jie said, half-heartedly accepting the offer.

I didn't accept it earlier because I didn't know what Zhou Yan was going to do.

If it's too difficult, he definitely won't take it.

After all, nobody wants to take on a hot potato.

But if that's the case, it's too easy for him.

After all, he was a tool maker.

When the time comes to report it as lost, broken, or thrown away, they can just write whatever they want.

This isn't a valuable item, so no one's checking.

"Wait for me a moment," Wang Jie quickly brought over Prince Moang's clothes and weapons.

"Take a look," Wang Jie said, handing the item to Zhou Yan.

"Brother Wang, I trust you to handle things," Zhou Yan said without looking closely. "Then I won't bother you any longer."

"Okay, take care," Wang Jie said without trying to stop him.

Watching Zhou Yan's departing figure, Wang Jie couldn't help but smile. "This kid is interesting; he's someone who can handle things."

Wang Jie reached into his pocket, rummaged through two hundred-yuan bills, and his smile widened.

……

Zhou Yan returned to her dormitory to rest for a while and then began packing her bags.

Now that filming has wrapped, it's not appropriate for them to stay here and take up resources.

Zhou Yan owns very few things, the most important of which is his laptop. It has a market value of over ten thousand, but in his heart, it is worth a fortune because it contains a lot of valuable information. It is his livelihood.
