Story 1 : About experience at auction buying ZZ's film stuff
Both workmate (fan's nickname) and I arrived at the auction site (ie, Arc Light Films)
Hey ~ so quiet and desolate, not at all like a so-called flea market ah?!
Asked the next door studio's staff, said that the person-in-charge is not around, so they do not know.
We had no choice but to first enter and take a look, oh ~ they are actually selling the production items from their companies' various films ie clothing and accessories worn by the film actors.
After walking around, we found that there were no clothings and accessories worn by Zaizai. To tell the truth was rather disappointed ....
Finally, after waiting for quite awhile, the person-in-charge came back (she actually went to see the screening of "Monga")
The person-in-charge was pretty polite and very warm.
Because prior to that we had said that --- "We are buying things from Zai Zai", she immediately took out from a concealed place things that were used by Zaizai (only Zaizai's things were hidden away Yoh)
And then said to us "The reason I have to hide away Zai Zai's things is because it is really in high demand, and we have to keep some of them for future promotion activities. Furthermore, you are late by one and a half days. Early yesterday, Japan fans came here to buy and almost two-thirds of his stuff are all gone." Wow ~ wow ~ wow ~ the charm of our Zai (and this is even before the start of any promotions).
Another staff member at the side sighed and said "Zai Zai really has a lot of fans ah" (but of course, only now you know ah).
The person-in-charge took out Qi Feng's (ZZ's character in movie) accessories one by one - there are belts, waist chain, rings, badges ...But then she declared "I can only sell to you four badges" (it's so precious!).
Later on, because we were chatting along so well, and she knows that we can help in future publicity, she said "Can also sell the rings, belts, waist chain, but the others really cannot sell.
(besides that, she also kept away Qi Feng's vest, jeans, etc. and did not display it outside. Ah, our Zai is truly different, the rest of the clothes of other people were displayed out openly on the clothes hanger for anyone to check out)
When we asked about the price, Tut ~ not cheap !!! Not the same level as the original price posted online on the website.
I think that over the last two days, after seeing the charm of Zaizai, his things were kept away and the price is raised.
Workmate bought a ring and a badge, I bought two badges
Then she (staff) also showed us other ZZ's things displayed in the hall - there is a pair of Qifeng's Dr Martin boots, and a pair of blue and white slippers.
Speaking of the blue and white slippers, there's an amusing little side story. She said that originally they did not know that this slippers were worn by Zaizai. When the Japanese fans came, and were trying on some items, she told them : "Ei ... you can change into those pair of slippers first". It was only later they realize that those were Qifeng's "Taiwanese slippers" neh.
I saw those slippers, on the top of it there is a big word "Feng", and the colour on the slippers has stripped off a little. It looks like Qi Feng wore these quite often in the movie!
Above is the story on the auction, if there are any details missed out, I will add-on later!
Another story is on the movie itself, and there is a lot to look forward to about this, but ... I'll have to wait for a codeword.
