Central Academy of Drama, Teachers' Office.
Chang Li looked at Zhang Ziyi in front of her, looked up and down, and then asked with a smile, "Is it really decided?"
Zhang Ziyi replied firmly, "Well, I've decided." ."
Chang Li nodded, "Since you have decided, then focus on your studies. The studio should also take it seriously. Our school attaches great importance to this school-enterprise cooperation project. If you perform well in the studio, you will definitely gain a lot."
"I know, Teacher Chang, we have been rehearsing scenes with director Hu Mei recently, and I feel like I have learned a lot."
"I heard about this. It's a good opportunity to hone your acting skills. Take it seriously. Director Chen Kaige's side, have you told him?" Zhang Ziyi shook her head and said, "Not yet, I'll prepare for a while. Call him."
"Well, please explain it to others. Fortunately, this time point should not have much impact on their shooting plans, and they have enough time to find actors. OK , you go."
"Okay, goodbye to Teacher Chang."
After Zhang Ziyi left, Huang Dingyu, who was sitting opposite, said with a smile, "This girl wanted to drop out of school and go to Chen Kaige before The crew? ”
Zhang Ziyi smiled and nodded, "Well, that's the case, but today I'll tell me that she won't go." Huang Dingyu said with a deep smile, "It's not easy to resist such temptation. "
"It's not easy. I'm almost sure I'm going to lose this student, but I didn't expect that she would finally decide to stay. Her transformation happened during the period when she went to Zhou Yan's studio. It must be It has something to do with the studio."
Huang Dingyu nodded, "Zhou Yan's studio is indeed very attractive to students. If I had such a good opportunity when I was a student, I would definitely not be willing to give up. "
Tian Youliang on the other side heard their conversation and said with a smile, "When you go to school, you must have the conditions given by Zhou Yan's studio. That's not going crazy just now."
< br>
When Huang Dingyu went to school, it was the end of the 1970s. At that time, it was difficult to eat meat at school, so there was no food like a studio canteen.
At that time, if any unit could eat meat every day, countless people would definitely have to drill in after sharpening their heads. This was simply a unit of immortality.
Even now, there are few units that can match the food level in Zhou Yan's studio canteen.
Sometimes Huang Dingyu and other teachers envy the students, the food is so good.
Although it's okay for the teachers to go and have a free meal, they are not very thick-skinned.
However, Tian Youliang was responsible for school-enterprise cooperation, so he was able to go to the studio frequently and had a lot of meals in the canteen there.
Because of eating too much in the studio canteen, Tian Youliang doesn’t want to come back for dinner now.
Of course, eating is only one aspect, and more importantly, there are many opportunities for practice in the studio, which is very rare for students.
In addition to the many practical opportunities, there are also many opportunities to meet some big names in the industry, such as the directors signed by the studio.
And the biggest celebrity among them is naturally the studio's boss, Zhou Yan himself.
...
After Zhang Ziyi left the teacher's office, she went to the telephone booth to call the director's office of Yanjing Studio.
The phone was quickly answered. "Hello." A man's voice sounded opposite. "I'll look for director Chen Kaige." Zhang Ziyi said.
"Oh." The man raised his voice and shouted, "Director Chen, someone is looking for you, it's a girl."
Chen Kaige laughed, "What girl? Don't be Lao Zhou again."
"I didn't lie to you this time. I'm either Zhou Yan or a girl."
"Okay, I'll answer."
After a while, Chen Kaige took the call, "Who is it? ? ”
"Hello, Director Chen, I am Zhang Ziyi."
When it was Zhang Ziyi, Chen Kaige smiled and said, "Oh, Ziyi, are you okay calling me now? Have you taken the leave from school? "
Chen Kaige asked Zhang Ziyi to ask for leave from the school himself, but he never asked about this matter since then. He felt that there was nothing wrong with this matter, and there would be no accidents on Zhang Ziyi, so he didn't care much.
"Director Chen, the school does not ask for leave. If I want to go filming, I have to drop out of school. So I thought about it and still stopped going. I want to stay in school to complete my studies. I hope you... …”
Before Zhang Ziyi finished speaking, Chen Kaige said in surprise, “You mean, you want to give up the position of the heroine of "Jing Ke assassination of Qin King" and then continue to study in school? What are you thinking? ”
Hearing Chen Kaige's words, Zhang Ziyi felt confused. Didn't she explain clearly enough? "Director Chen, I don't want to give up my studies, so I won't consider taking on big shows before the third grade." Zhang Ziyi explained again.
The other end of the phone was silent for a while before Chen Kaige spoke, "I respect your decision, I just hope you don't regret it in the future."
"I'm really sorry, Director Chen." br>
"No need to apologize, let's just do this." After saying that, Chen Kaige hung up the phone.
Listening to the blind voice on the phone, Zhang Ziyi sighed slightly. Of course, she could hear Chen Kaige a little angry, but she had decided and would not change any more.
Now that after talking to Chen Kaige, Zhang Ziyi felt much more relaxed. She suddenly realized that giving up was not as difficult as she thought.
Maybe one day in the future, she will regret rejecting Chen Kaige today, but now, she must focus on the present and study hard in school and studio. It is best to get some in the studio. The character of the short film.
…
Chen Kaige put down the phone heavily, and Senior Lu said with a smile, "Director Chen, why are you so generous? This phone number was changed last month, don't smash it. Broken."
Hearing Senior Lu's words, Chen Kaige rolled his eyes, "It's nothing, it's just being rejected."
"Who can reject our Director Chen?"
"One is still in the process A female student who went to school in the play."
Senior Lu was amazed, "This girl is amazing, she can actually refuse your play."
Chen Kaige snorted with his nose and said nothing.
Zhang Ziyi suddenly said that she would not act anymore, which had little impact on his drama. After all, there was still a long time before the filming was started, and he had enough time to find an actor.
The reason why he was unhappy was because he had not been rejected for a long time... In recent years, in terms of movies, except for Zhang Ziyi, only Zhou Yan has rejected him.
But Zhou Yan refused Chen Kaige, and he was not angry because Zhou Yan was very busy and it was normal for him to catch up with the time.
In addition, what is Zhou Yan’s status? Being rejected by Zhou Yan is not a very shameful thing.
But he was rejected by a female student today, and he gave the other party the position of the heroine. She will definitely regret it soon, Chen Kaige thought.
This drama of her own will inevitably become famous. Not only will she win a good box office, but she will also win numerous awards overseas. At that time, the male and female protagonists of the movie will definitely be in full bloom. At that time, Zhang Ziyi will not be able to fail. regret.
…
Zhou Yan didn't know that Zhang Ziyi rejected Chen Kaige. If he knew, he would definitely give the girl a thumbs up.
At this moment, he was personally supervising the shed and recording "Fireworks" for Akina Nakamori and Shizuka Kudo. After two days of practice, the presentation effect of this song is already very good and can be recorded.
The recording of the chorus is a little more complicated, but Akina Nakamori and Shizuka Kudo performed very well. It took only half a day to record this song.
Zhou Yan listened to the version he had just recorded again, and then said to the microphone, "Okay, you guys come out."
Shizuka Kudo ran out first, "Are you okay?" Let me listen."
Zhou Yan took off the headphones hanging around his neck and put them on her ears, and then called out the song he had just recorded for her.
Akina Nakamori also walked out. She didn't rush to listen to the song, but picked up the teacup and took a big sip of water.
When recording songs, in order to maintain a good voice, Akina Nakamori basically doesn't drink water. Even if they are thirsty, they just sip a little and can't drink too much.
No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read!
In the past, singers didn't understand these things and thought drinking water could moisten their throats, so they often drank water when singing.
But later everyone discovered that drinking water before singing not only did not make the throat moist, but instead made the throat drier, which greatly affected the state of voice.
After holding it in for most of the day, Akina Nakamori was really thirsty now.
Seeing her drinking water in big mouthfuls, Zhou Yan smiled and said, "You have to protect your throat. You can't eat so spicy food."
This woman usually eats too spicy food, and it's too frequent. She eats noodles in the morning I wish I could mix some chopped pepper beef sauce.
As she said, if it weren't for protecting her throat, she could eat spicy food every three meals a day.
Akina Nakamori also knew that she had eaten spicy food too frequently recently, so she said embarrassedly, "I will only eat hot pot once a week in the future."
Zhou Yan smiled, this was already a big deal for her. It's an incredible concession.
At this time, Shizuka Kudo had heard a paragraph. She took off her headphones and put them on Akina Nakamori's head, "Akina, listen."
Akina Nakamori nodded, held the headphones and listened carefully.
Shizuka Kudo also remembered to drink water now. She picked up the teacup and took two sips, and then asked Zhou Yan, "When will "Time and Space Love Traveler" be released in neon?"
Zhou Yan asked in confusion, "Why did you suddenly ask this?"
"I was talking about "Time and Space Love Traveler" when I was on the phone with Matsuko today. She said that Neon fans are looking forward to this movie now. ”
"Yesterday, news came from Neon, saying that it should be released on April 12th, and the news will be announced in the next two days." Zhou Yan said.
Shizuka Kudo laughed, "The neon fans are blessed. I will go and watch it when I go back this time."
"Didn't you watch it?"
< br>Akina Nakamori and Shizuka Kudo have both watched "Traveler in Time and Space" in China. With their Chinese level, there is naturally no problem watching Chinese movies.
When in the cinema, I saw that Zhou Yan and Wang Zuxian kissed each other very frequently in the movie, and Shizuka Kudo was jealous. She said that she had only kissed Zhou Yan, but Zhou Yan had kissed others through acting.
In fact, Zhou Yan has only kissed Joey Wong in the play, but in Kudo Shizuka's mouth, he seems to have kissed countless actresses.
"Although I have seen the Chinese version, I still want to see the Neon version."
"Apart from the different subtitles, there is no difference. This movie has not been released in Neon. Dubbed version.” Zhou Yan said.
"Will you go to promote the movie when it is released in Neon? You should have time to go before the Forbidden City concert, right?" Zhou Yan smiled. She originally wanted to Ask this.
"It depends on the situation. If you have time, you can't go to Neon."
To date, Neon is still Zhou Yan's largest market, and the movie fans and music fans there contributed the most income to Zhou Yan. .
Some time ago, "Yu Linling" released a collector's version of vinyl record, which costs 499 yuan per record.
In the past few years, due to the emergence of CDs, the price of vinyl records was almost halved.
But since last year, vinyl records have become more and more rare, and their prices have begun to soar.
Compared with three years ago, the price of vinyl records has increased tenfold today.
But even so, it is still relatively expensive to sell for 499 RMB.
And this is a basic collector's version, with the Honor Collection Edition of 699 and the Brilliant Limited Edition of 999.
This price is totally making money, but Neon fans are very supportive.
The total number of Brilliant Limited Edition worth 999 is available for sale in total, and these 1997 copies were almost all booked on the day the pre-sale was launched.
The Honor Collection Edition sold 120,000 copies in one week, and the basic collection edition sold 130,000 copies.
The latter only sold 10,000 more copies than the former, which shows that Neon music fans have really strong consumption power.
Zhou Yan did not pay attention to the data during this period, but the two versions sold at least 350,000 copies.
Thirty-five thousand copies are actually not a great achievement for a music album, but this is just the sales of a classic vinyl record. Before that, the tape of "Yu Linling" , CD has been sold for a long time, and even ordinary vinyl records have been sold for a long time.
In addition, the sales of these 300,000 records are very terrifying. If an average of 600 yuan per record is 200 million yuan.
The 1997 collections of the Brilliant Editions, one of which is 999, has a total sales of nearly two million.
Such sales results are very terrible no matter which country or musician it is placed on.
With the same result, Zhou Yan can do almost every music album in Neon.
Zhou Yan doesn't mind taking some time to maintain such a profitable market. "Or why, when the movie is released, we will help you promote it." Kudo Shizuka suggested.
"You guys help me, how do you help?"
"If you have any premiere or something, we can go to the scene. Even if you don't sing, you can help you with your face."
Zhou Yan shook his head and smiled, "This is not necessary, but you can help me promote the movie when I am typing new songs."
"This is OK." Kudo Shizuka smiled and said, "I'm with me." When Ai Cai is on the show together, I will try my best to promote it for you." (This chapter is over)
