Chapter 131 I’m here too
Zhou Yan and Yu Ran went to the restaurant where they often order food to eat at home. The restaurant is a mom-and-pop shop, because Zhou Yan often orders food here, and the boss and the wife of the boss are already very familiar with him. .
Seeing Zhou Yan coming, the landlady smiled and said, "Boss Zhou hasn't been here for a while."
"I went on a business trip during the summer vacation."
The boss unexpectedly Glancing at Zhou Yan, she thought he was a student, but she couldn't ask more about the guests, so she asked with a smile, "Just two people?"
"Well, there are two of us, just look at the arrangements."
"Okay."
Zhou Yan didn't order anything and just asked the landlady to arrange it, because the landlady was quite down-to-earth and wanted to make arrangements. She arranges it, and she also knows which dish has the freshest ingredients.
Pouring Yu Ran a glass of water and looking at the soy sauce in her hand, Zhou Yan smiled and said, "You just came back from buying soy sauce."
"Well, the soy sauce at home It’s almost gone, I’ll take a bottle back with me.”
Zhou Yan nodded, without thinking much, and asked, "How was your summer vacation? I will be a senior this semester. What new plans do you have?"
Yu Ran said with a smile, "Senior brother, you are a senior. He talks more and more like a teacher, and his tone is like that of Director Tao of our department.”
“Hey, don’t you want to get into the role as soon as possible”
“I have been in Yanjing during the summer vacation. I’m studying with the troupe. I’ve only been free for the past two days.”
Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows, so the girl’s family relationship is probably not simple. The Yanjing troupe she mentioned should be the Yanjing Symphony Orchestra. The reputation and history are not as good as the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, but it is not something that ordinary people can get into.
Yu Ran's professional level is indeed very good, but after all, she has not graduated with a bachelor's degree, and has no experience of studying abroad. Under normal circumstances, there is no way to enter the Yanjing Symphony Orchestra.
Actually, there is nothing surprising. Their area is relatively close to the National Center for the Performing Arts, and many of the people who live here are music insiders. Maybe Yu Ran’s parents are in a certain orchestra.
The two chatted for a while, then asked, "Brother, do you have any songs to rehearse this semester?"
Zhou Yan said with a smile, "It's true, maybe. There are two new songs, and I’m planning to tell you about them after school starts.”
“Are they from “The Piano Boy”?”
The album "Piano Boy" is also sold in the mainland, but the sales volume is quite average, not as good as in Xiangjiang and Taiwan. Of course, although the album sells in average, the songs in it are still somewhat popular in the mainland, because there are many Bootleg tapes.
Some businesses also like to play music inside.
A few days ago, when Zhou Yan was shopping with his younger siblings in Shanghai, he heard the song "Kite" being played in the mall, but it must be a pirated version, because after "Kite" was played, he immediately Let's play "Für Elise".
Zhou Yan nodded, "One of the songs is "Awakening", and the other one you haven't heard yet."
Hearing that there are others that he hasn't heard yet, Yu Ran's expression He said expectantly, "Okay, I have a new song to listen to."
Zhou Yan smiled and said, "Just don't complain about being tired during rehearsals."
"No."
At this moment, the landlady brought a plate of stir-fried vegetables to the table. Zhou Yan said with a smile, "Let's eat first." "
The other song he mentioned was actually "Seven Swords". In addition to these two songs, they also had to practice the songs they had practiced before.
In July, Zhang Youan told Zhou Yan that if the album "Piano Boy" sells well in Hong Kong and Taiwan, they would like to see if there is a chance to hold a few concerts in Hong Kong and Taiwan at the end of the year, specifically to perform "Piano" The song from "Youth".
Of course, Zhou Yan was very willing to do this kind of publicity activity and agreed to it, and he has been thinking about it recently.
Zhou Yan felt that the songs in "The Piano Boy" alone might not be able to support a concert, so he thought of adding some songs to enrich it.
As for the performance team, Zhang Youan’s idea is to find a band to help temporarily. After all, the music is not difficult. Find a more mature band to practice the music well within a week. It doesn’t cost much and saves both worry and effort.
But Zhou Yan has a different idea. He still wants to set up a symphony orchestra by himself. Everyone will rehearse these pieces often, and the performance will be better. In addition, this will also feed back to the Yangyin and hone Yu Ran's skills. These students.
Although it takes a lot of work, it can be regarded as killing multiple birds with one stone, and Zhou Yan is willing to do it.
After a simple meal, Zhou Yan did not invite Yu Ran to his home because he was still very busy these two days, and the two separated at the door of the hotel.
After saying goodbye, Yu Ran was still in a very good mood. Carrying a bottle of soy sauce, he skipped and skipped while walking. He met people he knew along the way and greeted them enthusiastically.
But when I got home, I saw my mother Zhong Aiqing’s dark face.
“I asked you to buy some soy sauce, and it’s already a meal, right?”
Yu Ran knew he had made a big mistake, so he shrank his neck and said softly, “ I just met a classmate who just returned to Yanjing and chatted a little more.”
She waved the soy sauce in her hand again, "I bought the soy sauce."
Zhong Aiqing rolled her eyes, "When you buy the soy sauce back, we will starve to death. The meal is ready, you go Let’s eat.”
“Oh.” Yu Ran didn’t dare to say that he had already eaten, and went to the restaurant obediently.
......
The next morning, Zhou Yan showed up at the train station at 8:50, but he waited until 9:50 to see Zhao Lao.
Zhao Lao doesn't have much luggage, just a backpack and a large plaid woven bag.
Zhao Zhang was very excited to see Zhou Yan from a distance. After all, the young man was young and strong. He ran towards Zhou Yan quickly carrying a woven bag.
"Brother, you have been waiting for a long time."
Before, Zhao Yan was called "Brother Zhou Yan", but now it is simply "Brother".
“The train is pretty fast today.”
Zhou Yan smiled and reached out to take the woven bag in Zhao Zhang's hand, but Zhao Zhang gave way and said, "No, brother, I can just carry it myself."
"That's okay, let's do it." Go to school.”
Zhou Yan found a car again and took Zhao Lao to school.
After entering the school, Zhou Yan took Zhao Lao to register, received supplies, and then went to the dormitory.
The dormitory is a room for eight people. When they arrived, three classmates had already arrived.
One of the classmates looked quite old. As soon as Zhou Yan and Zhao Zhang entered the dormitory, he came up and handed them cigarettes.
"Are you two also freshmen in the composition department?"
"Thank you, I don't smoke." Zhou Yan smiled and blocked it with his hand, then pointed at Zhao Ku and said, "He is A new composing student, I’m his brother.”
“Hello, my name is Hong Wuyang.” He introduced himself enthusiastically, and then helped introduce the other two people, “This is Zhang Jiaming, and this is Zhang Jiaming. It’s Li Ming, both are freshmen in composition.”
“My name is Zhao Zhang”
"We will be classmates from now on. If you need help with anything, just ask. You are still early, so hurry up and choose a bed. If it is later, you will have no choice."
Zhao Wei nodded. , chose the lower bunk in the middle, and then began to clean up and make the bed and quilt.
Zhou Yan did not help, but stood nearby. He looked at Hong Wuyang and the others, and asked with a smile: "Where are these classmates from?"
Hong Wuyang replied with a smile. He said, "I'm from Quanzhou, Shandong Province. It's not too far to come to Yanjing. Zhang Jiaming and Li Ming are relatively far away."
"Where are you two from?"
< br>
"I'm from Qiongzhou." Li Ming said.
"I'm from Yangcheng."
Zhou Yan nodded, "It's really far away. It's not easy to come here."
Hong Wuyang laughed, "Compared Considering how difficult it is to pass the exam, it doesn’t matter. I was also lucky. I had done similar questions in the previous exams, and it was relatively easy, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to get into the other two exams.”
No one spoke. Most freshmen are shy. Social terrorists like Hong Wuyang are rare.
Hong Wuyang said a few words about the exam, and then he said with a mysterious face: "Have you heard about it? This year, a great senior brother stayed in school to teach us. I heard from two senior sisters that he seems to be very powerful."
Zhang Jiaming and Li Ming both looked confused, while Zhou Yan and Zhao Xi showed a meaningful smile.
Hong Wuyang did not notice the expressions of Zhou Yan and the others, and continued to share the news he knew, "I heard that this senior is a once-in-ten-year genius in the composition department, on the same level as senior Tan Dun."
< br>"Is it that exaggerated?" Li Ming pushed up his glasses and said.
Zhou Yan also twitched his lips. Which two senior sisters told Hong Wuyang? This rumor is a bit exaggerated. They even used the term "once in ten years".
"It's not an exaggeration at all. The senior sister also said that this senior brother is not only a great composer, but also has made movies."
"What movies has he made?" Zhang Jiaming asked.
Hong Wuyang shook his head, "I don't know, anyway, he is very powerful."
"What does this senior brother teach us?"
"This..." Hong Wuyang didn’t know either.
At this time, Zhou Yan smiled and said, "I have heard of the senior brother you are talking about. He should teach you the harmony of A."
Hong Wuyang looked at Zhou Yan in surprise, "Brother, how do you know?"
"Because I am the composer of 88."
When he heard that Zhou Yan was the composer of 88, Hong Wuyang said with an exaggerated expression, "Brother, it turns out you are also a senior brother. I am disrespectful. I heard that he taught us that Senior brother is 87, so he is only one year behind you."
"Yes, one year behind you."
"Then are you familiar with him?" Hong Wuyang asked.
"Quite familiar."
"What about him? Will he be difficult to deal with? I heard that geniuses are lonely, and those who learn well may not be able to teach well, and This class is quite important. If it is not taught well, it will have a great impact on us."
Zhou Yan nodded seriously, "Well, his character is indeed very strange. I heard that he has an iron ruler. Before. When I was teaching for the lower grades, I often hit people with an iron ruler.”
“A thug?”
"Not necessarily. It depends on the situation. It may be a slap in the face."
"Slap in the face..."
Hong Wuyang and the three of them all took a breath, darling, now in college The teacher also beat people, and even slapped them in the face.
"Doesn't this school care? He still beats people after he's in college."
Zhou Yan shrugged, "Didn't you also hear that he is a genius who comes only once in ten years? The school Of course I won’t care. I heard that his only requirement for staying in school is to be able to beat students.”
Hong Wuyang twitched his lips. Is that senior brother a pervert? He stayed in school just to beat people?
"Is this... is it true? Brother."
Zhou Yan said with a smile, "It's not true, won't you know when he gives you a lesson?"
After finishing speaking, Zhou Yan saw that Zhao Zhang had made the bed, looked at the time, and said, "Zhao Zhang, let's go eat."
"Oh, okay."
"You three, do you want to go eat together?"
"No, no, we just ate in the cafeteria."
Zhou Yan nodded, "Okay, see you later."
......
After settling Zhao Zhang, Zhou Yan didn't care too much. They had to undergo military training for a week after their freshman year, and he didn't have much to do during this period.
After a few words with Zhao Zhang, Zhou Yan went back.
About three or four days later, Zhou Yan had just finished writing the script for "Tree Hole" and was making final revisions when his home phone suddenly rang.
“Hello, hello.”
“Teacher Zhou Chan, I am Wu Ziniu.”
Hearing that it was Wu Ziniu, Zhou Yan smiled and said, “Director Wu, what are you doing again? I’m here to urge you to submit your manuscript.”
This is not the first time Wu Ziniu has called. When Zhou Yan came back two days ago, he received a call from Wu Ziniu. After that, he received another call before this. This is already the third time Zhou Yan has called Yanjing since he returned. I received a call from Wu Ziniu for the first time.
Wu Ziniu smiled sheepishly, "I'm a little anxious."
"The script is almost written. Director Wu, please come over if you have time in the afternoon."
Hearing that the script was almost written, Wu Ziniu said happily, "Then I'll be there in a moment. Is it the address you told me last time?"
"Yes, it's about six months' walk from the alley. Seventy meters, look to the left.”
"Okay."
More than an hour later, Wu Ziniu knocked on the door of the courtyard.
When the door opened, Wu Ziniu raised his eyebrows in surprise when he saw Zhou Wen himself. Although he sounded quite young on the phone, Wu Ziniu didn't expect Zhou Wen to be so young.
Zhou Yan was already used to Wu Ziniu's surprised expression. He smiled and invited Wu Ziniu into the courtyard, "Director Wu, you came quite quickly."
Bayi Factory It's not close to here. Wu Ziniu should have set off after making the call, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get there now.
"The journey was relatively smooth." Wu Ziniu smiled.
The two entered the reception room. Zhou Yan first made Wu Ziniu a cup of tea, and then gave him the script he had just written. "The script I just wrote needs to be improved in some places. Director Wu, please go first." Take a look.”
Wu Ziniu didn’t have any more words to say, so he took the script and started reading it.
The script must be different from the novel, otherwise Zhou Yan would not have to write it for so long.
Compared with the novel, the script has made adjustments to the narrative sequence. The interludes and flashbacks in the novel are very simple and serve literature, but there is no need to do these fancy things in the movie, too Stream of consciousness will make the narrative boring and meaningless.
When Wu Ziniu read the script, he was quite surprised. He didn't expect Zhou Wen to be so pragmatic.
Before coming, Wu Ziniu was worried that these writers would be too literary in script writing, and he was thinking about how to persuade Zhou to give birth.
Now it seems that his worries are unnecessary.
Halfway through the script, Wu Ziniu couldn't help but ask Zhou Yan, "Teacher Zhou Chan..."
Zhou Yan smiled and said, "My real name is Zhou Yan, Director Wu, just call me My real name.”
Wu Ziniu thought about it in his mind, and then he thought it was the word "彦", and then it suddenly dawned on him, but he felt as if he had heard this name somewhere.
"Teacher Zhou Yan, have you ever written a script before?"
Zhou Yan nodded, "Yes, I have indeed written a script before."
"I would like to ask One sentence, has the script you written been filmed?" Wu Ziniu asked again.
Zhou Yan nodded again, "Yes, the movie was released not long ago and is called "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly."
Wu Ziniu's eyes widened when he heard "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly". He finally remembered why the name Zhou Yan sounded familiar. Wasn't the director of the "Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" not long ago the same person as Zhou Yan?
The box office of "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" cannot compare with movies like "Jiao Yulu", but its results are already very good. Of course, Wu Ziniu and others will also focus on movies like this.
Even if he doesn't pay attention to it deliberately, this kind of movie will be a frequent topic when everyone in the office chats, and he will definitely hear it often.
"Are you the director of "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly"?"
Zhou Yan smiled and nodded, "Yes."
Wu Ziniu touched his forehead. This series of things made him feel a little dazed. Zhou Yan suddenly appeared out of nowhere. How could he be so powerful? He was a good writer of novels and well-produced movies.
After adjusting his mood for a while, Wu Ziniu said with a smile, "Ignore the rest for now, let's read this script first."
Then Wu Ziniu concentrated on reading the script in his hand.
After a while, when Wu Ziniu finished reading the script, he breathed a long sigh of relief, "Director Zhou, you gave me a new feeling."
"Wu Is the director talking about the script or the people?" Zhou Yan asked.
"We have both the script and the people." Wu Ziniu smiled, "Since Director Zhou is also an expert in film, it will be easy for us to communicate. There is nothing wrong with the script as a whole, but there are some places where I have other ideas. "
"If you have any disagreements, Director Wu, just say it. There is no need to worry."
Wu Ziniu nodded and began to say, "Yao Xiang got stuck in a tree hole and was finally killed by a villager. He was rescued. I think this part can be changed so that he climbed to the top of the tree hole, then rolled down, and was finally rescued by the villagers. This is what I think, since the villagers took this tree hole so seriously. It’s mysterious. If they were asked to rescue people, wouldn’t they have seen the details of the tree cave? Then what would the villagers think of the tree cave?”
Zhou Yan said with a smile, “Actually, I wrote it like this on purpose. This further implies that the following story is Yao Xiang's fantasy, and the villagers who rescued people here are exactly the same as the crows who appeared earlier."
"That's it," Wu Ziniu nodded, and then said. "But I think that in the script, it would be better to change it to someone who escapes by himself. I'm afraid it's too obscure and the audience won't understand. In addition, if this section is changed to someone who climbs out by himself, the dramatic conflict will be stronger. Later, Yao wants to call himself It can be channeled and more convincing. We can change it to say that he was originally stuck in a tree hole, and in order to get out, he broke his arm and finally..."
Wu Ziniu talked eloquently, and Zhou Yan also listened carefully. I have to say that Wu Ziniu's idea is still very good.
From a literary point of view, there is no problem with Zhou Yan writing it this way, but when it is changed into a movie, dramatic conflict must be taken into consideration. The section modified by Wu Ziniu obviously has more dramatic conflict.
After Wu Ziniu finished speaking, Zhou Yan couldn't help but nodded, "That's a good statement. You can try to change it this way."
Hearing what Zhou Yan said, Wu Ziniu also laughed. , he was worried that Zhou Yan was too stubborn and unwilling to listen to opinions. Now it seems that he is worrying too much. "In addition to this place, I think the part where the great master Xiangtou Tiao killed the bamboo craftsman can be extended."
In the original novel "Tree Hole", this section is relatively sparse, just a small section. Zhou Yan did not expand on it in the script and only wrote a small section.
But Wu Ziniu believes that this paragraph is very suitable for digging deeper, which can highlight the ignorance and superstition of the villagers and enrich the theme.
"In addition, I think a doctor character can be arranged at the scene. This doctor witnessed everything happening but did not speak. The role of the doctor, being in such a superstitious event, will definitely have a greater impact on people. Strong..."
In addition to these two places, Wu Ziniu also expressed some of his thoughts in other places, but they were all minor issues. Only these two places made the biggest changes.
Most of Zhou Yan agreed with Wu Ziniu’s opinions. Changing them according to Wu Ziniu’s ideas would indeed be more beneficial to the film.
There were some things that Zhou Yan didn't agree with. Zhou Yan mentioned them, but Wu Ziniu didn't insist on them. It wasn't a big problem in the first place.
After asking a few questions, Zhou Yan said with a smile, "I will revise the script in the next two days, and we will talk about it later."
Wu Ziniu asked, "Director Zhou, what are you doing? Are you busy for the next two days?"
Zhou Yan smiled and replied, "No, I'm going to focus on the script for the next two days."
Wu Ziniu said with a smile. , I won’t leave today, let’s change it together.”
Zhou Yan tugged at the corners of his lips, thinking to himself: Is Wu Ziniu so anxious? Is this to see if you can do your homework?
"Director Wu, these two paragraphs will definitely not be corrected today. Let's do this. Come back tomorrow afternoon. There is no need to waste time here."
Listening to Zhou Yan's words, Wu Ziniu did not stop. He insisted, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll visit again tomorrow."
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
For the next week, Wu Ziniu would come to the courtyard every day and stay for half a day. , all discussing the details of the script.
A week later, the two finally concluded the discussion on the last issue. Wu Ziniu took the script and smiled and said, "Director Zhou, there should be no problem for the time being."
Zhou Yan scratched his head, "Director Wu, this There is no force majeure in the first version, but I will not change it again.”
“Okay, okay, there is no problem.”
After the script was finalized, Zhou Yan asked about the shooting targets. Regarding the matter, "Director Wu, are you planning to produce your own products on August 1st?"
Wu Ziniu shook his head and said, "Not necessarily, it may be done in the factory, or it may be done with Xiangjiang's Co-produced by Senxin Entertainment Development Company.”
"Sensin Entertainment?"
"Do you know Zhang Zhiliang?"
"Yes, I've heard of it."
Zhang Zhiliang is also a director, and Zhou Yan has a better impression of him Shen's two movies are "The Money Stealing Couple" and "The Last Eunuch in China". In addition to these two movies, other movies like "Ink Attack" and "Butterfly on the Shoulder" are also relatively famous.
There is also "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", but it was co-directed with Tsui Hark.
"This Senxin Entertainment was just created by Zhang Zhiliang. Last time he contacted me and said he wanted to make a movie with me, but I haven't given him a reply yet."
Zhou Yan probably understood, Wu Ziniu made two preparations. If the Bayi Factory was unwilling to pay for the production, then he would go to Zhang Zhiliang to cooperate and pursue a co-production.
"Director Wu, there is actually another way." Zhou Yan said with a smile.
Wu Ziniu asked doubtfully, "What way?"
"You can find Tomson Films to co-produce."
"Tomson Movie..."
Wu Ziniu originally wanted to say that he had some connections that could allow Tomson Company to invest in making a movie for him, but then he thought about it, wasn't "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" directed by Zhou Yan? Was it invested by Tomson Film Company?
"Director Zhou, are you saying that you can get Tomson Film Company to invest in this movie?"
"I can help you ask, but the hope is relatively high."
Actually, Xu Feng mentioned this before and it was basically a sure thing, but Zhou Yan did not stick to his words.
Wu Ziniu was very happy when he heard that there was hope. "Then I'll ask Director Zhou to ask for help. If Tomson Company is really interested in bidding, then I won't have to worry about it."
Not only will there be less effort, but the shooting budget will also go up.
Although Wu Ziniu makes small-budget movies, who doesn’t want to be more comfortable?
After sending Wu Ziniu away, Zhou Yan called Xu Feng and told her about "Tree Hole".
Xu Feng said readily that there was no problem and she would find time to contact Bayi Studio.
After telling Xu Feng, Zhou Yan stopped asking about the matter. In the next two days, he was sorting out the soundtrack of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" at home and preparing lesson plans for class.
He also took the time to go to the TV Production Center, met with Li Yiding, and watched the films that had been filmed recently.
The two of them have only written more than 20 pieces of music together now, but they are not in a hurry because the filming progress of the TV series is not normal. This thing is a protracted battle that will not end in a year or two.
Yu Ran and Fang Xiu also came here a few times, but seeing that Zhou Yan was quite busy, they didn’t stay too long.
Until September 17th, the third Thursday after the school started at Yangyin, it was also the first harmony class of Composition 92.
"Monitor, are you trying to scare us? Why did I hear a senior sister from the orchestra say that Mr. Zhou is a very nice person?" My brother is our senior fellow in the 88 Department. How can I not know the situation?”
“Zhao Lao, is your brother really the composer of 88?”
“Yes, that’s true.”
"Zhao Zhang can't tell lies, it's not like you don't know."
In the composition classroom, several students were chatting together. Suddenly Hong Wuyang looked at the back door in surprise, "Brother, why are you here?"
Zhou Yan said with a smile, "Let me see Look, are you a little nervous on the first day of Harmony?"
Hong Wuyang said with a smile, "I wasn't nervous at first, but what you said last time made us quite nervous."
Several other students also looked over curiously, thinking to themselves, is this his brother Zhao Ku?
Zhou Yan patted Hong Wuyang's arm, "I heard you were elected squad leader."
Hong Wuyang waved his hands angrily, "It's all promoted by the brothers and sisters, and as a monitor, he only serves the classmates."
"It's good, and he has a sense of service." Zhou Yan said with a smile.
"That must be true." Hong Wuyang smiled and asked Zhou Yan, "Brother, you have no classes in the morning?"
"Yes." Zhou Yan nodded.
Hong Wuyang looked at the quartz clock hanging at the back of the classroom, "Class starts in less than a minute. Brother, aren't you in a hurry?"
Zhou Yan shook his head, "Don't worry, because I also have classes here."
Hong Wuyang was stunned for a moment, "Brother, you also have classes here? Is it the classroom next door?"
"No. , right in this classroom."
Hong Wuyang scratched his head. His first reaction was to repeat the grade, but the span between grade 88 and grade 92 was not too big.
At this time Zhou Yan raised his wrist and looked at his watch, counting down silently in his heart, ten, nine, eight, seven... two, one.
The class bell rang on time, Zhou Yan smiled, it seemed that the watch was still accurate.
Then Zhou Yan stood up and walked onto the stage under Hong Wuyang's dull gaze.
He looked at the eighteen students in the audience with a smile, and said loudly, "Class."
Hong Wuyang realized then and quickly stood up and bowed with his classmates.
“Hello, teacher.”
Zhou Yan nodded, "Well, hello, classmates."
After the students sat down, Zhou Yan continued, "My surname is Zhou, and at least for the next semester, your Harmony A will be taught by me. Today is the first harmony class you have taken after entering the Yangyin School. I would like to ask you a question first. What do you want to learn in the harmony class? Or to put it another way, do you think you have taken harmony classes? What skills should you have after class?”
The students looked at each other, Zhou Yan’s question caught them off guard, the pace was too fast.
"You are allowed to discuss this issue." Zhou Yan looked at his watch, "I will give you five minutes. You can flip through the book or whisper to each other. After five minutes, I will select a few of you. Answer the questions, or you can volunteer. "
"Squad leader, didn't you preview the questions? Are there answers in this question book?" Li Ming poked Hong Wuyang.
Hong Wuyang asked blankly, "What's the problem?"
...
Five minutes later, Zhou Yan knocked on the table, "Is anyone volunteering?"
Zhao Ku The first one to raise his hand.
“This classmate, please speak.”
Zhao Ku stood up and said, "This course is to cultivate us to systematically and comprehensively master the basic harmonic writing skills and the rules of harmonic language composition. By reading and listening to a certain number of excellent works from different periods at home and abroad, we will gradually master the basic harmonic writing skills and the rules of harmonic language composition. Establish and improve our understanding of the combination of multiple voices in music..."
"Very good, please sit down." Zhou Yan nodded and said, "This is a very standard public answer, except for answers like this, I also want some of your own answers. Can anyone give them to me? "Classmate Hong Wuyang, please tell me."
Hong Wuyang's whole body was tense, not at all the same as before the class.
"Teacher Zhou... I think that after we learn this course, we must at least understand the background selection of harmony. Only by clarifying the background of harmony can we continue to discuss the vertical and horizontal aspects of harmony in depth. "Relationship."
Zhou Yan nodded. The background selection of the harmony is based on the mode and tonality. If you understand this part, even if you don't learn harmony, it involves more than just technology. It also involves musical aesthetics.
After that, Zhou Yan asked several classmates one after another. Some of them gave the public's standard answers like Zhao Kuo, and some of them understood the learning of harmony from their own perspective.
The reason why Zhou Yan asked this question was because he wanted to get to know the background of these students.
Although the eighteen students in front of me are all sitting together, there is a huge gap in their levels.
If it is a unified recruitment for cultural courses, everyone can enter a major. Normally, the learning level will not be too different, but it is different for art majors, especially schools like Yangyin.
For some students, they need to work very hard to get into Yangyin, but for other students, they come to Yangyin just because there is no other better choice.
Otherwise, the composition department would not have students graduating early almost every year.
After getting the feel of it, Zhou Yan knew whether the pace of his class should be faster or slower. He stopped chatting with the students and began to formally teach them the content of the harmony class.
The two classes were neither short nor long. For Zhou Yan, they were relatively easy.
After finishing, Zhou Yan said with a smile: "I won't give you homework for the first class. If you have any questions, you can go to the big office of the Composition Department to see me, but only on Thursday mornings. , it may be more difficult for you to find me at other times. Or you can save your problems until the next class, and I will solve them for you."
After that, Zhou Yan walked out of the classroom.
As soon as he left, the classroom immediately became a mess.
Hong Wuyang ran to Zhao Zhang excitedly, "Zhao Zhang, why is your brother Teacher Zhou?"
"He is not your biological brother?" Li Ming asked.
Zhao Ku shrugged, "I didn't say he was my brother, and we don't look alike."
"Yes, Teacher Zhou is good-looking. "A girl stood behind and said.
Zhao Lao twitched the corner of his mouth. Does this mean he is not good-looking?
"Then why did you call him brother?"
"For a while, he often came to my house and gave me lessons." Zhao Ku said.
“Hey, aren’t you so blessed that you got admitted to our school casually?”
“It’s been a lot of help.”
"Zhao Zhang, does Mr. Zhou have a girlfriend?" The girl asked again.
Zhao Wei shook his head.
“No?” the girl said in surprise.
“I don’t know.”
“You don’t even know if your brother has a girlfriend. You are such a derelict brother.” The girl pouted.
"I heard that Mr. Zhou has also filmed movies, is it true?"
Zhao Wei nodded, "Of course, some cinemas still show it."
"What kind of movie. ”
“The piano boy who wants to fly”
“I saw it, it was taken by Teacher Zhou?”
"I've actually seen it too."
......
Zhou Yan didn't know how the students were discussing him later. After walking out of the classroom, Zhou Yan went to the big office of the Composition Department.
The department arranged an office desk for him, next to Jia Guoping.
The office of their composition department is relatively spacious, because there are not many teachers in total, and teachers like Zhou Yan and others can stay in the big office, and the leaders have their own small offices.
In the final analysis, the composition department has more resources, and if there is an office, they can use it first.
In other departments, there are at least a dozen people in a large office, but in the composition department there are only seven or eight people in total.
When Zhou Yan arrived at the office, there was no one in it. He had the least one class in the entire composition department, and everyone else was busy.
Staying in the office until noon, Zhou Yan went to the cafeteria to have a meal, and then went to the girls' dormitory to find Fang Xiu and Yu Ran.
During this period of time, he had a little free time, and happened to be working with Yu Ran and others to build the symphony orchestra.
Hearing that Zhou Yan was going to build a symphony orchestra, Fang Xiu said with a smile, "It will take a lot of replacement. A lot of our previous group of people have left, especially after Senior Brother Yu Feng left, we have no conductor."
"Command me to look for it. You can help find the bow string group. Tell them that they are not in vain. They will take care of food and drink, and there will be a monthly allowance."
"Good darling, there will be a allowance. Ah, senior brother, did you ask for funds from the school?"
Zhou Yan waved his hand, "I will pay for the allowance myself."
Fang Xiu gave a thumbs up, "Don't worry, generous. I’ll help you find the bow string set.”
"Try to find someone in the second or third grade." Zhou Yan added.
“Understood.” Fang Xiu nodded.
The reason why I chose sophomores and juniors is because the level of freshmen is definitely not that good. If seniors don’t continue their graduate studies at Yangyin, they will have to leave in one year at most.
The most important thing for a band is tacit understanding. Naturally, the longer we practice together, the better.
……
Two days later, Yu Ran called Zhou Yan and said that they had helped find two violinists and asked Zhou Yan to take a look.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yan went to school.
They agreed to meet under the Qinlou. Zhou Yan rode to the Qinlou and saw Yu Ran and Fang Xiu from a distance.
There are two girls with their backs facing Zhou Yan, one tall and one short. The short one is not short, about the same height as Fang Xiu, standing at 1.6 meters tall.
The taller one is really tall. Yu Ran is already tall, standing at 1.7 meters tall. This girl is even taller than Yu Ran, and this girl is much burlier than Yu Ran. She feels like her shoulders are thick. Yu Ran is half as wide.
Seeing Zhou Yan, Yu Ran jumped and waved to him, "Senior brother, here."
At this time, the other two girls also turned around.
When Zhou Yan saw the tall girl in front, he almost fell off his bicycle.
This is not a girl at all, but a man, but he is thinner and has longer hair.
There are actually many male students in Yangyin with long hair, but this is the first time Zhou Yan has seen such long hair. It is already at the same level as his shoulders. At first glance, he looks like he is wearing glasses. "No sky".
As he got closer, Zhou Yan always felt that this person looked familiar, and then he heard Fang Xiu introduce him, "Brother, they are both from Violin 91. His name is Wang Feng, and her name is Li Biru."
Zhou Yan looked at it in surprise. Looking at Wang Feng, no wonder he looked familiar just now. It turned out to be Wang Banbi.
Wang Feng and Li Biru both greeted Zhou Yan very obediently, "Hello, senior brother Zhou Yan."
With Zhou Yan's reputation in the school, Wang Feng and Li Biru had naturally heard about it, and Fang Xiu and them He said that when Zhou Yan's band needed people, they came without hesitation.
"Hello, hello, has Senior Sister Fang Xiu told you about the situation?"
"I've already said it." Li Biru said.
Wang Feng also nodded. He had been staring at Zhou Yan because he was very curious about Zhou Yan. There were many legends about Zhou Yan in the school. He had seen Zhou Yan from a distance before, but this was the first time. Seeing myself so close.
