Chapter 112 Big Life (Three-in-One)
In the afternoon, Zhou Yan’s manager Zhang Youan knocked on the door of the courtyard.
Zhang Youan's appearance is similar to what Zhou Yan imagined. He is about forty years old, of medium build, wearing a pair of glasses, his hair is meticulously combed, and he always maintains a smile, but not a smile. .
Steady yet sophisticated, this is how Zhou Yan feels about Zhang Youan.
Zhang Youan arrived in Yanjing at noon. After going to his residence to tidy up, he calmly came to see Zhou Yan.
After looking at the courtyard where Zhou Yan lived, Zhang Youan smiled and said, "Can we talk about work in the future? Of course, only occasionally."
"Yes, my yard has office properties." Zhou Yan didn't care. He smiled and then poured Zhang Youan a glass of water.
When receiving the water, Zhang Youan bent down slightly. He seemed to pay great attention to these details, and even the angle of his bending was very particular.
After that, he started to talk about work with Zhou Yan, "In the past few days, I have also focused on understanding your business. Now our work is still focused on the movie "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" Go. First of all, there is publicity. There are six publicity activities that have been decided before, four in Taiwan and two in Hong Kong..."
Zhang Youan took out another form, which is the list of these six activities. time.
The so-called six activities are actually six announcements.
Zhou Yan stayed in Taiwan for six days, and only had four announcements, which was relatively few, because one announcement did not take too long, and if you squeezed in, it could basically be done in two or three days.
The most time-consuming thing is the press conference for the movie, which takes half a day. Apart from the press conference, the rest are talk shows on radio and television.
In the remaining time, Zhou Yan has other things to do, such as going to Hou Xiaoxian to discuss the soundtrack for "Dream Life" with him.
The two events in Xiangjiang are similar, a press conference and a TV talk show.
After talking about the six announcements, Zhang Youan talked about the music album again, "There are a total of three original songs in "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly". I suggest that the songs in "Reply from Heaven" should be put together with these three songs. , make it into an album and try to release it before the movie is released."
"Why don't you wait until the movie is released before releasing it?" Zhou Yan asked.
“It’s a bit late to release it after it’s released.”
Zhou Yan nodded and asked, “Are these songs put together too few?”
Zhang Youan Shaking his head slightly, he said, "In addition to the three long songs in "Reply from Heaven," there are also many short passages. If you put them in, the number of songs must be quite a lot. It's a pity that the song "If Love Is There" is for Anita Mui. "God's Will", we have to wait until her song is released, otherwise we can put it in this time."
This was an agreement made between the two parties before. Zhou Yan could release music, but he had to wait until Anita Mui's songs were released. The movie "A Dream of Life" must also be released after Anita Mui's songs were released.
Of course, in order to prevent China Star from stalling and delaying the release of the movie, they also agreed on a time, no later than the end of this year.
“Actually, I have other songs.” Zhou Yan said.
"Yes, I know." Zhang Youan nodded, "I have watched the film "Forbidden City: Memory", and the music in it is very good, but I think that in the future, I can make a separate "Forbidden City: Memory" "Memory" music album, there is no need to include them in the current album. I haven't heard the other song "Nightingale" yet, but I know that this piece is more ancient and it is also a flute song, so I think it can be done. Put it together with your other song "Ode to the Lotus""
Zhou Yan did not expect that Zhang Youan had done so much work in these few days.
What Zhang Youan said makes sense. "Memory of the Forbidden City" and "Ode to the Lotus" are indeed not suitable for inclusion in this album, as the styles do not match well.
A music album is not a hodgepodge or a mashup. The songs included must have a unified style or a similar theme.
Zhou Yan thought for a while and said, "I wrote two songs for "San Mao's Army", which can be included."
Zhang Youan raised his eyebrows, ""San Mao Joins the Army" Have you started writing the soundtrack for "San Mao's Journey into the Army"? "
Zhang Youan certainly knew that Zhou Yan had taken over the direction of the soundtrack for "Sanmao's Journey into the Army", but he didn't expect that the soundtrack would have been written so quickly. After all, Zhou Yan has just finished writing one song each for "Dream Life" and "Green Snake".
"It wasn't long after it was written." Zhou Yan smiled, "I just recorded a version for Zhang Jianya this morning."
"Zhang Jianya...is the director of "Sanmao Joins the Army"?" Zhang Youan asked.
"Well, he came to Yanjing on business, and we had dinner together last night."
Zhang Youan nodded and asked, "Can you listen to those two pieces of music for me?"
br>
“No problem, I’ll just record another version.”
Zhou Yan ran to get the Walkman and violin again, and played "Awakening" and "Sanmao" for Zhang Youan.
After listening to Zhou Yan’s performance, Zhang Youan fell silent.
At this time, Zhang Youan looked calm on the outside, but his heart was already turbulent.
Before taking this job, Zhang Youan knew Zhou Yan somewhat. After all, there were only a few directors that Tomson worked with, and Zhou Yan was the youngest one.
Zhang Youan had watched Zhou Yan's "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly". Because he had worked in the record industry for a long time, several songs in the movie caught his attention at that time.
However, Zhang Youan didn't think much about it at that time. He just thought that Zhou Yan was a music school student who was good at filming. When the company cooperated with Zhou Yan, they also took a fancy to Zhou Yan's potential in making movies.
This time Xu Feng told him to take over Zhou Yan's business, and he got to know Zhou Yan seriously.
After learning about it, Zhang Youan discovered that Zhou Yan’s talent in music is really amazing.
The day before yesterday, when he watched the promotional video for "Forbidden City: Memory" for the first time, he felt like he was out of body. He was so surprised that he realized at that time that there was a huge treasure hidden in Zhou Yan.
And today, Zhang Youan discovered that he didn't know Zhou Yan well enough. Zhou Yan's talent was beyond what he had seen before.
Realizing this, Zhang Youan was both surprised and stressed.
To his surprise, he found a treasure. Even if Zhou Yan didn't know how to film, his talent in music alone was already amazing enough. However, this treasure was too eye-catching, and he was worried that he would waste Zhou Yan's talent.
After being silent for a while, Zhang Youan said, "Would you like to slow down these two songs? Put them in the later music album. There are too many excellent songs in one album, and I am worried about wasting them."< br>
Hearing that Zhang Youan was worried about waste, Zhou Yan smiled and said, "I think it's better not to slow down, otherwise there will be no place to play other songs in the future."
Zhang Youan was calm and calm when he heard Zhou Yan's words. , also slightly stunned.
Although Zhou Yan said it very calmly, it was very crazy. The implication is that he has many songs, and the album production speed may not be able to keep up with his song writing speed.
But after Zhang Youan thought about it, he was right. After this album is released, he can plan the "Forbidden City" album for Zhou Yan non-stop.
If Zhou Yan writes a few more ancient-style songs in the future, he can put them together with "Ode to the Lotus" and "Nightingale" to make a flute album or an ancient-style album.
“Okay, I understand, let’s put the soundtracks of the three movies “Reply from Heaven”, “The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly” and “Sanmao Joins the Army” together and make an album "After finishing speaking, Zhang Youan laughed, "Speaking of which, these three movies have one thing in common, that is, the protagonists are all children."
Zhou Yan smiled and nodded, which is indeed a coincidence.
Zhang Youan wrote down these three movies in his notebook, and then asked Zhou Yan for the scores of all the original songs in them.
If you want to make an album, except for the three songs in "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly", all other songs must be re-recorded.
Not to mention the two "San Mao Joins the Army" are rough samples. The songs in "Heaven's Reply" were limited by production costs, and the music recording at that time was not particularly ideal. I wanted quality. High, the previous version will definitely not work.
And according to the rules, the soundtrack of "Reply from Heaven" was recorded by Yanjing Studio, and they couldn't use it directly.
"I will contact the production company and production company during this period, and will communicate with you at any time if there is any news." Zhang Youan put the score into his bag, and then suddenly changed the subject and asked Zhou Yan, "The soundtrack of the TV series Have you considered it? ”
"It depends on what kind of TV series it is." Zhou Yan smiled, "If it is a general TV series, I don't want to accept it. As you know, I have been very busy this year, especially in the first half of the year. I will wait until I am less busy in the second half of the year. You can think about it. Did someone contact you and want me to act in a TV series?"
Zhang Youan shook his head, "No, but I think there is a good opportunity recently. If you have an idea, I can help. Go get in touch.”
“What’s a good opportunity?” Zhou Yan asked.
"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is currently being filmed."
Zhou Yan was stunned. He did not expect Zhang Youan to be able to throw a big bomb with such a calm expression.
Hearing Zhang You'an's tone just now, he really didn't take it to heart.
Zhou Yan couldn't help but confirm with Zhang Youan, "Is it CCTV's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?"
"Of course." Zhang Youan nodded with a smile.
What Zhou Yan actually asked was nonsense. Although it has been rumored in recent years that several parties are planning to film "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", in the end, it was only CCTV that actually implemented it.
CCTV's filming of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is not a small matter. It can be said to have attracted national attention. Since last year, Zhou Yan has often seen related news.
Moreover, some people from Yanjing Studio were selected to be part of the cast of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms." For example, Zhang Guangbei, who plays Lu Bu, is quite familiar with Zhou Yan. When they were eating in the cafeteria before, Zhou Yan heard Zhang Guangbei say "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" "The Romance" crew came to their factory to cast actors.
This TV series has been in preparation since 1989, but the official filming did not begin until the end of last year. The preliminary preparation time lasted for more than three years.
Zhou Yan had never cared about the soundtrack for "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" before. After all, this was a project that attracted national attention, and he had nothing to do with it on the crew.
One of the screenwriters of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Ye Shisheng, is the deputy director of the Yanjing Production and Literature Department. Another screenwriter, Zhu Xiaoping, just came here last year, and Zhou Yan is not familiar with them.
He looked at Zhang Youan with some curiosity, "Do you have any contact with the production team of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?"
"There must be contact channels." Zhang Youan smiled, "Relationships are secondary, the main thing is to read the works."
The reason why Zhang Youan thought of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was because he had just listened to Zhou Yan's work The song "Awakening", he felt that Zhou Yan was also good at writing such passionate music. Combined with Zhou Yan's previously written "Memory of the Forbidden City", he could compose a grand and passionate music.
The project "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is so well-known across the country. If Zhou Yan can write a few songs for this TV series... no, as long as he writes one important song, it will be very beneficial to his subsequent development. .
And Zhang Youan knows that Neon is also paying close attention to this drama. Maybe Zhou Yan can break into Neon's music market with the soundtrack of this TV drama.
"If you are offered a TV series like "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", of course I will not refuse it." Zhou Yan said with a smile.
Zhang Youan nodded, "I happened to be in Yanjing during this period, so I went to run around about this matter."
In fact, the song creation of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has been decided and the work is already in progress. However, the pure music aspect has not yet been fully developed.
Hearing what Zhang Youan said, Zhou Yan nodded.
Although he attaches great importance to this matter, he still has a normal heart. If I get it, I will be lucky, but if I lose it, I will die.
……
After Zhang Youan left, Zhou Yan no longer thought about the soundtrack for "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
In the days that followed, he either went to the studio to watch the filming of "Farewell My Concubine" or rehearsed "The Nightingale" with Yu Feng and others.
On March 28, Zhou Yan packed his luggage at home and prepared to go to Shanghai.
This time he is not just going to Shanghai, but after finishing his business in Shanghai, he will go directly from Shanghai to Xiangjiang, and then to Taiwan.
He will stay outside for half a month.
Just when Zhou Yan was about to pack his luggage, he suddenly received a call from Zhang Youan.
After the call was connected, the first thing Zhang Youan asked was, "Zhou Yan, are you still at home?"
This sounded a bit silly.
Zhou Yan smiled and said, "If I'm not at home, can I answer your call?"
"As long as you are at home, don't leave yet, wait for me at home."
Zhou Yan frowned, "How long? Do I have a flight at three o'clock, or did you buy the ticket for me."
Zhang Youan smiled and said, "It's okay. If you can't make it, just go tomorrow and wait for me. ."
After that, Zhang Youan hung up the phone.
Listening to the busy signal coming from the phone, Zhou Yan felt baffled. He didn't explain clearly what Zhang Youan had to do, so he thoughtlessly told him to wait at home.
About half an hour later, Zhang Youan came.
"What's the matter? We can't talk over the phone. Do we have to talk about it in person?" Zhou Yan asked doubtfully.
Zhang Youan smiled and said, "Good thing, I have contacted the TV Drama Production Center. There is some progress in your soundtrack for "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"."
I heard it was Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows at this matter, "What kind of progress?"
"Director Wang and the others have already appointed a scorer, Li Yiding, their own composer from the production center, but their current plan is, Let Li Yiding compose the first forty episodes, and the next forty episodes will be handed over to one or more composers."
Zhang Youan quickly explained the situation of the soundtrack for "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and then continued, "During this period of time, after my travels, Director Wang and several other creative staff, including teacher Li Yiding, have heard your work... Speaking of which, it is all thanks to your previous soundtrack for "Forbidden City: Memory." Because They have an impression of you from this film, and they have a very good impression. After listening to "Awakening" and other songs this time, they became even more interested in you."
Zhou Yan smiled, and it sounded like things were going smoothly.
"However." Zhang Youan made another twist: "After all, you are young, and the number of works is still a little less than others, so Director Wang and others are more worried."
Zhou Yan Nodding, "Their concerns are understandable. After all, "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has many episodes and a heavy soundtrack task. The projects I participated in do not reflect my ability to handle such a large project."
" Their internal opinions are not very unified. Li Yiding believes that it is best to hand over the next forty episodes to the same composer, so as to ensure that the soundtrack style is as unified as possible. The more people involved, the more likely the style will be chaotic. Director Wang’s intention is to find more soundtrack composers, which can improve efficiency and prevent accidents. As for the issue of unified style, Li Yiding can be the chief soundtrack director and coordinate.”
"If we follow Director Wang's advice, would it be more likely that I would participate?" Zhou Yan asked.
Zhang Youan nodded, "Yes, according to Director Wang's advice, arrange a few more scorers, each of whom will be responsible for ten to twenty episodes. In this way, you should be able to get ten episodes. But this possibility is lower. It can be seen that Director Wang still respects Li Yiding's opinion. If Li Yiding insists that it is best to give the remaining forty episodes to one person, then this plan should be followed in the end. Therefore, we must set a goal now and strive for it. This is the next forty episodes. "
Originally, Zhou Yan treated it with a normal attitude. It didn't matter whether he could win this project, so there was no pressure. But now that Zhang Youan said this, he suddenly felt a pressure.
Zhou Yan suddenly understood why Zhang Youan told him the inside story of this matter in such detail, as if to arouse his desire to win.
He looked at Zhang Youan's calm face and thought that his agent was playing psychological warfare with him. But Zhou Yan was indeed very interested in this project. He smiled and asked, "What do I need to do now?"
Zhang Youan said, "My suggestion is that when you return to Yanjing later, you can go and talk to Li Yiding. It doesn't matter whether you talk to Director Wang or not. The main thing is Li Yiding. As long as Li Yiding approves of you, this matter will be fine." . Of course, just chatting won’t be very effective. If you can make a song about "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" during this period and talk to her with the song, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort," Zhang Youan said.
Zhou Yan pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "No problem, I will compose a piece of music during this period, and then take the piece with me to find Teacher Li Yiding."
Zhang Youan nodded with a smile. , "You have to participate in activities in half a month, are you pressed for time?"
"It's okay." Zhou Yan looked at the time, "Is there anything else? Nothing else, I I have to catch a flight, it's not too late to leave now."
"Of course." Zhang Youan took out a stack of scripts from his bag, "This is part of the script for "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", take it with you. Feel free to read it and see if you can find any inspiration.”
"Okay."
Zhou Yan took the script and nodded. No wonder Zhang Youan had to meet and talk. It turned out that he wanted to give him the script.
Farewell to Zhang Youan, Zhou Yan embarked on the road to Shanghai.
In fact, Zhang Youan also wants to go to Xiangjiang and Taiwan, but he will set off directly from Yanjing later.
……
After arriving in Shanghai, Zhou Yan rested for a while in the hotel and then called the director's room of Shanghai Studio.
The call was answered by a young man. When he heard that Zhou Yan was looking for Zhang Jianya, the young man smiled and asked, "Are you Director Zhou?"
"Yes." Zhou Yan responded with a smile, "Who are you?"
"I am Cui Jie, the assistant director of "Sanmao Joins the Army". Director Zhang told me that you will be coming in the next two days."
"Hello, Director Cui." After asking Cui Jie, Zhou Yan asked again, "Is Director Zhang in the office now?"
"He is in the editing room. If you want to find him, Director Zhou, just come directly to the factory. I will wait for you in the office." Cui Jie said.
"Okay."
......
When Zhou Yan arrived at Shanghai Studio, Cui Jie had been waiting in the office for a long time.
After a brief greeting, Cui Jie said with a smile, "Director Zhou, I will take you to the editing workshop to find Director Zhang."
The two rushed outside the review room of the editing workshop and heard a burst of laughter from inside.
"Haha, these neon people are too short to reach the ground, so funny."
"Sanmao laughed me to death."
"Zhang Director, aren’t your props too fake?”
“It’s only interesting if it’s so fake.”
Judging from the sound, there were many people in the screening room, both men and women.
Zhou Yan was a little confused. He had spent a long time in the editing workshops of Chang'an Studio and Yanjing Studio, but he had never seen it so lively.
Whether it is the Chang'an factory or the Yanjing factory, the editing workshop is an important place, and ordinary people cannot enter it at all.
Cui Jie seemed to be used to it. He didn't knock on the door, just opened the door and went in.
In the film review room, there were about seven or eight people, including Zhang Jianya, who were chatting and laughing. When they saw Zhou Yan and Cui Jie coming in, they all looked this way.
Zhang Jianya showed an expression of surprise, walked over quickly, took Zhou Yan's hand and shook it, "Director Zhou, you are here. I thought you would not come until tomorrow."
Zhou Yan told Zhang Jianya before Came here in the past two days, but did not say when he would arrive. Zhang Jianya thought Zhou Yan came by train, so he thought Zhou Yan would not arrive until at least tomorrow.
Shaking hands with Zhang Jianya, Zhou Yan smiled and said, "It's quite lively."
"We just brought back the movie, let's join in the fun and watch it." Zhang Jianya said with a smile.
Next to him, Cui Jieduo explained a few words, "Ever since we started filming "Sanmao Joins the Army", everyone in the factory has been looking forward to the delivery of the samples every day, and everyone gathered in the review room to watch them together. Film.”
Zhou Yan smiled and nodded, "You can tell from everyone's laughter that the filming effect is very good."
"That's not true." A girl who was standing next to Zhang Jianya said, "Zhang Jianya It was so much fun to direct this movie, and we almost laughed to death every day."
As soon as she spoke, several other people also started to praise it.
“Yes, what I look forward to most every day now is that the sample film of "Sanmao Joins the Army" is sent back to the factory from Su City."
"It's more interesting than going to the cinema to watch a movie."< br>
"Director Zhang is so awesome."
Zhou Yan smiled, and he could tell that they really liked "Sanmao Joins the Army".
You know, the samples that were sent back, the picture seen in the review room was not big, and there was no sound, but it still made the people in the factory laugh so happily. It can be seen that the picture was really taken. very good.
Zhang Jianya is praised by these colleagues every day, and he usually doesn't care. Today, Zhou Yan was a little embarrassed in front of him. He coughed lightly and said with a smile, "Xiao Liu, do you know? You guys matched up two days ago. The song I listened to in the demo was written by Director Zhou.”
When they heard that “Sanmao” and “Awakening” were actually written by Zhou Yan, the girls immediately became excited.
"Wow, you wrote those two songs. They're so amazing."
"It's so interesting to match them with the pictures."
"The music is really good, that's it. Too few, it would be nice if there were a few more songs.”
“Really, really, at first I thought those songs were written by some dead master!”
< br>“……”
Zhou Yan coughed lightly and took it as a compliment.
I have to say that the working atmosphere here in Shanghai Factory is really good. It gives people the feeling of being in a group of people. Zhang Jianya and the others are so happy to work in this environment every day.
But there is also a disadvantage, that is, it is like this every day and it is easy to swell.
Zhang Jianya smiled and asked Zhou Yan, "Director Zhou, I'm just here. Do you want to see the samples?"
"Okay." Zhou Yan nodded and leaned over.
Film reviewer Xiao Liu was very cooperative and showed Zhou Yan the samples.
The samples sent this time were all scenes of war. Sanmao picked up a hand and was so frightened that he threw it to the old ghost. The old ghost took off the ring from the hand and said that the owner of the hand was the lifeline. It was too short, and the Japanese occupied Sanmao's trench, but the trench was too deep, and they couldn't jump in. This scene also explains why Sanmao and the others dug the trench one foot deeper and brought a bench with them.
No wonder the reviewers laughed, these paragraphs are indeed interesting.
Of course, their complaints are not fake. The hand prop used in it is real and fake, not even as real as the hand of the model in the window.
To make realistic props, it is not without this technology. This is of course Zhang Jianya’s intention. Everything is for humor. If realistic props are used, not only will they not be humorous, but they will be scary.
When Zhou Yan saw the sample film, the reviewer Xiao Liu asked with a smile, "Director Zhou, after watching the sample film, have you thought about what kind of music to use?"
Zhou Yan said with a smile, "These few paragraphs It’s so interesting, I just kept giggling and didn’t think about the soundtrack at all.”
In fact, these sections will definitely be accompanied by a lot of war sounds, basically gunfire and other sound effects. Even if the soundtrack is added, It’s also optional.
After watching the samples, Zhang Jianya took Zhou Yan to the printing room and looked at some clips that had been cut out.
While Zhou Yan was watching, Zhang Jianya said with a smile, "Those two songs received a very enthusiastic response in the factory. Did you know that the song "Awakening" was called Xiao Liu's original song? name, but gave it another name.”
"What's the name?" Zhou Yan continued to watch the film and asked without raising his head.
"It's called "Niu Runs for Life"." Zhang Jianya said with a smile.
"It's quite appropriate." Zhou Yan also laughed and asked: "Where's "Sanmao", have they given it a name?"
"Not really, I think so. "Sanmao" is easy to read."
The two briefly chatted, and Zhang Jianya stopped disturbing Zhou Yan, because Zhou Yan was very serious when watching the movie, and he would watch a section of the movie back and forth, and Keep taking notes.
In fact, Zhou Yan had already planned the soundtrack of "Sanmao Joins the Army" in his mind, but he still wanted to watch the film seriously. On the one hand, he wanted to see if he could continue from the perspective of the soundtrack. To bring improvements to this movie, on the other hand, the movie may not be exactly the same as the version he saw in his previous life. If there are differences, he will have to make adjustments in time.
There are some short clips that Zhou Yan can write himself without sampling or borrowing them.
Zhang Jianya went out to do something and came back. Finally he couldn't help calling Zhou Yan, "Director Zhou, it's getting late, let's rest."
Zhou Yan raised his head and looked at Zhang Jianya , looked at the time again, and didn’t expect that two and a half hours had passed.
He rubbed his eyes and smiled, "Looking at it, I'm fascinated."
This was not Zhou Yan's intention to compliment Zhang Jianya, but his true words. Although they were all fragments, from these clips, Zhou Yan could feel the unconstrained ideas and ingenuity that Zhang Jianya showed during the filming process.
Speaking of which, from Zhang Jianya and Chen Kaige, we can see that people should not be judged by their appearance.
In reality, Chen Kaige and Zhang Jianya have completely opposite personalities. The former is a typical Yanjing native and talks a little impoverished, while Zhang Jianya is a relatively boring person, and his enthusiasm is limited to movies.
Zhang Jianya can kneel down with the actors for the sake of the movie, but when drinking, he will not take the initiative to lift the cup.
The styles of the two people's movies are also completely opposite. Whether it is the early stage or the later stage, whether the story he tells is down-to-earth or romantic, he always stands on a high ground. From the beginning, he always stands high. It’s sure to be in front of a lot of viewers.
But Zhang Jianya's movies are different. He is more like telling stories to friends around him. He doesn't have to speak too loudly, and he doesn't need to be mysterious or bother to explain.
Zhou Yan also learned a lot from these films of "San Mao Joins the Army".
Zhang Jianya smiled and said, "Let's go eat."
Zhou Yan looked at the time and asked, "Is there still food in your factory cafeteria at this moment?
" Come on Yes, I can still let you eat in the cafeteria. "Zhang Jianya smiled and took Zhou Yan's arm, "Let's go to my house. ”
...
Zhang Jianya’s family lives in Liangyou Apartment not far from the studio. This building is quite famous because its house is quite special and there are irregular spiral staircases inside.
When he arrived at Zhang Jianya's house, Zhou Yan heard the sound of ping-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong coming from the kitchen. Zhou Yan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Could it be that Zhang Jianya has found a partner again?
Although Zhang Jianya is a little bored, he has chased the nationally renowned goddess Zhang Yu.
"Love in Lushan Mountain" starring Zhang Yu, as the first "kissing scene" in China, caused a sensation in China at that time. It is said that a cinema was built on Lushan Mountain specifically to show "Love in Lushan Mountain". Now every day Also constantly.
But then Zhang Yu went to the United States. The two were separated by an ocean, and their relationship gradually ran into problems, and they finally divorced the year before last.
When he came here just now, Zhou Yan was still thinking that Zhang Jianya was just like him, a single man, and even asked him to come to his house for dinner. Could he also follow his example and let the restaurant deliver the food to his door?
While Zhou Yan was guessing, Cui Jie, wearing an apron, walked out of the kitchen, "Brother Zhang, Director Zhou, sit down for a while, there is still one braised pork, just simmer for a few more minutes. "
"Let it sit for now, Xiao Cui, wash your hands and come over to eat." Zhang Jianya took out a jar of rice wine from the cabinet, "Director Zhou, I don't know if you want to drink this rice wine. "
Zhou Yan said with a smile, "I can drink anything."
...
Drinking in the north is completely different from drinking in the south. Zhang Jianya doesn't try to persuade him to drink. When he wants to drink, he just lifts the cup towards Zhou Yan.
But I drank too much wine.
The jar that Zhang Jianya took out was a five-pound bottle. Xiao Cui had a very poor drinking capacity. Although Zhou Yan and the others did not persuade him to drink, he might have felt that Zhou Yan had come all the way and it would be bad not to drink, so he insisted on drinking. Less than half a catty.
With just half a kilogram of rice wine, Xiao Cui Zui fell down on the table.
The other four and a half pounds were divided between Zhou Yan and Zhang Jianya.
More than two kilograms of rice wine was nothing to Zhou Yan. After the meal, he chatted with Zhang Jianya for a while, agreed to go to the factory tomorrow, and took a taxi back alone.
In the car on the way, Zhou Yan still felt sleepy, but after returning to the hotel and taking a shower, his sleepiness and drunkenness were gone, and he became very energetic.
Since he couldn't sleep, Zhou Yan simply took out the script of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and started thinking about it.
Actually, he wants to compose the soundtrack for "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" without reading the script, because he has seen the finished film.
Even if you haven't seen the finished film, you can actually feel it by reading the original work, or even better.
Scripts and novels seem to be completely different. The former is very different from the latter in terms of stimulating emotions, because scripts rarely have more detailed descriptions.
However, to be on the safe side, Zhou Yan decided to read the script again.
Of course the script Zhang Youan gave him could not be all eighty episodes, but the thirteen episodes from forty-five to fifty-seven.
After Zhou Yan finished reading, another two hours passed.
It was really getting late now, so Zhou Yan forced himself to go to bed, but after lying in bed for a long time, he still couldn't fall asleep. The war scenes in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" always appeared in his mind.
Ten minutes later, Zhou Yan simply got up from the bed, took out his composition book, and started writing.
(End of this chapter)
