Chapter 58 I'm responsible for testing him (first update 3.2k)

Zhou Yan didn't know that Wang Junzheng was already thinking about changing the shots. He smiled and said, "After the subsequent movie is filmed, the soundtrack will still be based on the finished film. When are you planning to go to Zhu City for filming?”

“We’ll start filming next Wednesday. The filming will take about two months.”

“I’ll see you later.” We’re here.”

Wang Junzheng nodded, “Well, I’ll trouble you to come to the factory more when I get back.”

"It should be."

Hearing Wang Junzheng say that they are going to Zhu City next week, Zhou Yan felt a pity. If this movie was shot in Yanjing, he could go to the filming site to observe it if he had nothing to do.

Up to now, apart from his own short film "Antfly", Zhou Yan has only participated in the production of "Raise the Red Lantern", and his understanding of the film industry basically comes from Zhang Yimou's team .

How do other directors shoot movies? What is the difference from Zhang Yimou?

How are different expression techniques reflected?

Zhou Yan is quite curious about these things.

When he walked to the door of the director's office, Wang Junzheng suddenly stopped and said, "By the way, regarding salary, do you think you should go through the formalities with us directly, or should you find an employer first?"

Zhou Yan thought for a while and said, "Let's do it in my own name."

It's better to work alone. He doesn't care about the establishment. The key is that after joining the company, most of the money he earns will be If it is distributed to the unit, the individual can only receive salary.

For a hundred and ten dollars a month, Zhou Yan would not do it.

Wang Junzheng is not surprised at all. In the past two years, more and more people are working alone. "That's okay. If you sign in your own name, the total will be 1,400 yuan. Do you think it's okay?"

Zhou Yan nodded, "No problem."

Wang Junzheng smiled, "Well, I will trouble you to come again tomorrow to complete the procedures."

One Thousand Four One hundred yuan is a lot of money, and this is the soundtrack budget Wang Junzheng obtained for his movie.

That is to say, the market has improved a lot in the past two years, so there are so many. If we put it aside two or three years ago, it would be good to have half of this.

When Zhao Jiping filmed "Yellow Earth", it only cost 300 yuan, "Red Sorghum" cost 600 yuan, and when it came to "Ju Dou", it cost 800 yuan.

In other words, "Raise the Red Lantern" was co-produced by the Mainland and Taiwan and had sufficient funds, so Zhao Jiping received a little more remuneration.

Remuneration for film and television dramas has been rising in the past two years, and there is a huge gap between different places. Especially after the capital from Hong Kong and Taiwan entered, the gap in salary between different projects is too big.

The salary of the same actor in different crews may vary hundreds of times, or even more.

Take Gong Li for example, if she went to Hong Kong to make a movie, the salary she would get would be tens or even millions, but in the Mainland, it would only be more than a thousand yuan a month at most, and most of them would have to pay more. After turning it over to the unit, I could only get the salary within the establishment, which was about one hundred yuan.

Such a huge gap naturally makes actors feel unbalanced, and gradually some actors begin to choose to work alone.

After making an appointment with Wang Junzheng to go through the formalities tomorrow, Zhou Yan took the tape back to school.

......

After Zhou Yan left, Chen Kaige came next to Wang Junzheng.

"Director Wang, what happened just now? Are those songs played by the director the soundtrack of your new movie?"

Wang Junzheng glanced at Chen Kaige and said with a smile, "Why are you asking about this? Haven't you already decided that the soundtrack director of "Farewell My Concubine" will be Teacher Zhao?"

Chen Kaige scratched his head and said, "Hey , I'm just curious, the song "Kite" just now is very interesting, I just can't think of any music teacher with such a style."

"Don't you know Zhou Yan? He didn't tell you? Ah."

Wang Junzheng just saw Zhou Yan greeting Chen Kaige and thought that Zhou Yan and Chen Kaige knew each other because of "Farewell My Concubine", but now that Chen Kaige asked this question, it seemed that he was not very familiar with Zhou Yan.

Chen Kaige raised his eyebrows. It turned out that his name was Zhou Yan. Now he remembered his name.

"I met him before at Chang'an Studio. He provided the soundtrack for "Raise the Red Lantern" to Mr. Zhao."

Wang Junzheng said with a smile, "He is now the soundtrack director for "Reply from Heaven" "

"He?" A surprised expression appeared on Chen Kaige's dark face, "He's the soundtrack director, not the soundtrack assistant?"

Wang Junzheng said, "Oh, this is us. For a small project, it’s good to have a music director. How can you have the funds to hire a music assistant?”

Although Wang Jun’s words imply that Chen Kaige and his colleagues have a big project and sufficient funds, what she said is also true.

There is a big gap in level and reputation between soundtrack assistants and soundtrack directors, but there is actually not much difference in salary and benefits. On the project "Raise the Lantern," Zhou Yan's job as a soundtrack assistant alone earned him $100 a month. Five, after working for more than half a year, I got about a thousand yuan, not much less than Zhao Jiping.

These days, no matter what the position, the salary gap is not that big. Hiring an extra soundtrack assistant will cost you thousands of dollars more.

Chen Kaige pretended not to understand what Wang Jun was saying. He smiled and said, "Then the "Kite" just now was written by Zhou Yan?"

Chen Kaige knows the personality of the director better than anyone else. , if he could agree to let Zhou Yan serve as the soundtrack director, then Zhou Yan must have a particularly outstanding talent.

Based on the situation just now, Chen Kaige naturally guessed that "Kite" was written by Zhou Yan.

"You guessed it right, the music just now was written by Zhou Yan."

"Oh, it turns out he wrote it."

Chen Kaige nodded and returned to his seat .

Although he had guessed this result just now, Wang Junzheng confirmed it himself, and he was still very surprised. This Zhou Yan really had something.

...The next morning, Zhou Yan went to Yanjing Studio again and completed the procedures. From then on, he was the soundtrack director of "Reply from Heaven".

When the movie is shown later, the word "Zhou Yan" will also be written in the column of the soundtrack guide.

After completing the formalities, Zhou Yan returned to school and went directly to Shi Wanchun's office.

During this period, he came to Shi Wanchun's office twice, but he didn't see anyone both times.

I was lucky this time. The office door was open and Shi Wanchun was reading in the office.

Boom boom.

Zhou Yan knocked on the door.

Shi Wanchun looked up and saw Zhou Yan at the door. A hint of joy appeared on his brow, and then he said with a straight face, "Come in."

Zhou Yan walked in with a smile, and then He took out two packages of Hongtashan from his pocket and presented them to Shi Wanchun.

Shi Wanchun looked at Hongta Mountain and said, "Why, you want to try smoking again, but you're not used to it, so you gave it to me?"

"I bought this specially to honor the teacher."

Shi Wanchun rolled his eyes, "In broad daylight, do you want to bribe me?"

Although he said so, Shi Wanchun still opened it I opened one of the packs of cigarettes, took one out, and lit it for myself.

When the smoke started to rise, he pointed to the chair opposite, "Sit down."

"Thank you, Teacher, for the seat."

"Don't talk weird to me." Shi Wanchun blew out the smoke and asked again, "Did you not cause me any trouble outside during this time?"

"Teacher, I will obey the rules outside." Teacher training, don't dare to get into trouble."

Shi Wanchun was also amused by Zhou Yan's lazy look, but he still looked serious when he smiled, "I heard that you not only wrote for them on the set. "It's all an accident." >


"It's hard to help yourself."

"Don't do such nonsense with me." Shi Wanchun waved his hand, "Whether you are acting or writing music for a movie, I have no objection. But again, you can’t let go of your studies. In the new semester, you will continue to study in the third grade, but if you perform well, you will still have the opportunity to graduate next year, or the year after. It depends on whether you can seize it." br>
If Zhou Yan had not fallen ill last year and had not suspended school, then Shi Wanchun most likely would not have agreed to his spending time on film soundtracks.

If you want to score movies, you can wait until you have a successful career and do it for fun in your free time. But now, Zhou Yan should focus on his profession and strive to show his talents on a bigger stage. .

But then Zhou Yan fell ill and took a leave of absence from school, and Shi Wanchun's mentality also changed. He hoped that Zhou Yan could relax a little more and not be as stubborn as before.

In the past, Zhou Yan had a somewhat paranoid personality. Although this paranoia allowed him to perform better in music, it also caused him great troubles in life.

Of course Zhou Yan knew that Shi Wanchun was doing it for his own good, and said with a smile, "Teacher, don't worry, I won't fall behind on professional matters. In April, I went to see Li Bing, the 88th grade teacher. "Brother foreign?"

Li Bingyang, the class teacher of composition in 1988, also stayed in the school after graduating from their department.

Shi Wanchun shook his head, "No, you go find Jia Guoping."

"Ah?" Zhou Yan said in surprise, "Why are you looking for him?"

"Because he will be your class teacher from now on."

"Haven't he not graduated yet? Even if he stays in school to teach, he will start in the next semester."

"Li Bingyang is going to Louisiana You are studying abroad at the University of Naso, and you will leave in a while. Although Jia Guoping has not graduated yet, he will start handing over work to Li Bingyang this semester. There is no point in asking Li Bingyang to ask you to repeat the grade now. How can he have the heart to do it for you? "

Zhou Yan nodded, no wonder he was so anxious to let Jia Guoping stay in school. It turned out that another carrot was taken away and a hole was left.

It has become the norm for teachers to study abroad in the Composition Department of Yangyin in recent years. Most of the seniors who stay in the school will go abroad for further study within a few years. Qu Xiaosong was like this before, and now Li Bingyang is also like this. so.

The school is also used to it, with iron-clad camps and flowing soldiers. As long as leaders like Shi Wanchun and others are here, the teachers will be replaced. Yangyin will not be short of teachers, and after these teachers go abroad to study, they may come back to continue. Teach.

"Then Brother Guoping will be my class teacher from now on."

Shi Wanchun smiled and said, "Why, you feel unbalanced?"

Zhou Yan smiled and waved, " That's not true. It's a good thing that the class teacher is an acquaintance."

Hearing this, Shi Wanchun became serious, "Don't just think that you are a good friend with the class teacher and ask him to give it to you through the back door. It’s convenient, if you let me know that something like this happened, neither of you will get anything good.”

"Teacher, don't worry. Brother Guoping is selfless and will definitely be able to withstand the test."

"What about you?"

Zhou Yan chuckled, "I am responsible for testing him."

Shi Wanchun put out the butt of his cigarette, waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, just get lost."

"It's an order."

I hope there will be a moon tonight
