Chapter 141 "Birds with Messy Hair"
Hearing what Principal Liu said, Zhou Yan knew that applying for the concert hall should not be too difficult. He smiled and said, "My original intention of starting this orchestra was also to Give students more opportunities to perform on stage."
Liu Lin nodded and asked, "What is the name of your band?"
"Piano Boy" Zhou Yan. replied.
Logically speaking, there are many types of instruments in their band, so the name should not be called Piano Boy, but the name was indeed decided through a show of hands by all the band members.
In order to come up with a name, they held a meeting and drafted more than a dozen names. In the end, "Piano Boy" was selected with a high vote. The reason why everyone voted for this name was because of the movie "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" and the music album "Piano Boy". juvenile".
Whether it is a movie or a music album, both are the debut works of "Boss" Zhou Yan, which is very memorable. Moreover, the relationship between movies and music is also very important, and it will be considered as an allusion in the future.
"Piano Boy..." Liu Lin pondered for a moment and then said, "Do you have any idea to add the name of our school before the name Piano Boy?"
Zhou Yan made a choice. Eyebrows, no wonder Shi Wanchun asked him to come directly to Principal Liu. It seems that Shi Wanchun may know this.
This matter is definitely not something Liu Lin came up with on the spur of the moment. In normal times, leaders like Liu Lin and others must have talked about their orchestra. They may have mentioned this before, but today Zhou Yan is here. Just brought it up.
If the Central Conservatory of Music can be added in front of the orchestra, it will definitely be beneficial to their orchestra, which means that the Central Conservatory of Music has endorsed them.
However, we also face a problem, that is, after adding a name, will the school have more control over the orchestra?
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yan said, "Of course we would be happy if the school's name could be added, but our organization is still relatively loose..."
Halfway through Zhou Yan's words, Liu Lin knew What did he want to say.
"It's just a name. The school will not interfere with the management of the orchestra. Of course, the school cannot give you much help. For example... there is no need to beat around the bush between us, the band's members The school will not pay a penny for daily expenses, nor will it give them many preferential policies.”
Zhou Yan also understood what Liu Lin meant. The school could give the band credits, but not much in real terms. Zhou Yan still had to pay for the running of the band.
Zhou Yan is quite satisfied with this plan, and he has never thought about asking the school to subsidize them.
"If that's the case, I am naturally willing. Is there any process that needs to be followed?"
Liu Lin said with a smile, "Of course we have to go through the process, and the school will give it to you when we get back. Issue a certificate or something like that.”
“What about the concert hall application?”
"After you add your name, you don't need to apply separately. You can use it for ten hours each week. However, you need to communicate with the practice center in advance to use the concert hall. We will arrange it for you when there is time."
Zhou Yan calculated in his mind, ten hours a week, an average of 1.4 hours a day, which sounds relatively compact. However, they will not go to the concert hall to practice every day. If they go once every other day, there will be close to three hours a day. hours, it's still okay.
However, Zhou Yan still fought for it, "Principal, ten hours is a bit short. We have a heavy rehearsal task..."
Before he finished speaking, Liu Lin smiled and waved his hand. Interrupted him, "Ten hours is already a special treatment. If you want to use more time, it's not impossible. When your band's performance gets better, I can naturally increase it for you."
Hearing what Liu Lin said, Zhou Yan stopped being shameless and said with a smile, "Then I will thank the principal on behalf of the members of the orchestra."
Liu Lin said with a smile, "No need to talk about these nonsense, just work hard. You are young now and have a bright future in school. I often chat with Teacher Wu and Director Shi. Among so many students, they I mention you the most.”
“I am also very flattered by the love of the two teachers.”
Liu Lin said with emotion, “I was the same when I was your age. I just stayed in school, but I was soon seconded to the creative team of the Central Opera and Dance Theater Ballet Company. At that time, we were not as free as we are now..."
...
Because it is. "A faction", so Liu Lin and Zhou Yan chatted a little more. About half an hour later, Zhou Yan left the principal's office, and then went to the Practice Center to see the time in the concert hall.
Two hours after setting the time for the evening the day after tomorrow, Zhou Yan went to Fang Xiu again and told her to inform the orchestra members to go to the concert hall at five o'clock the day after tomorrow.
After doing this, Zhou Yan went home.
It was a tiring day running around. After returning home, Zhou Yan tidied things up and did no other work. He just held the book until dinner.
After dinner, Zhou Yan returned home and took out his memo booklet to see what work he had not done recently. Then he saw the item "Zhang Xueyou invites you to sing".
I have been so busy these past two days that I almost forgot about this.
Now that he was free, Zhou Yan thought carefully about it, and it would be better to write songs for Zhang Xueyou. After all, Zhang Xueyou has many classic songs that have not been released, so it is easy to borrow them.
After a while, Zhou Yan really thought of a song - his hair was messed up.
"Messy Hair" was originally a Korean song. The original song was called "honey". It is a very cheerful jazz-pop style song. This style should be quite suitable for the current Zhang Xueyou. There is a breakthrough.
This song has a bit of a funk feel, and it sounds similar to the rhythm pattern of "Uptown Funk" by Martian Brother. There are basically no such songs in Hong Kong nowadays.
After thinking about this song, Zhou Yan was ready to start writing. He couldn’t use his right hand now, so he wanted to write the score with his left hand. However, after writing for a long time, he didn’t even finish half a line of the staff, and he drew it with his left hand. The notes are also crooked and very unsightly.
After thinking about it, he gave up the idea of writing music with his left hand and planned to wait until his right hand got better before writing. However, he called Zhang Youan first and told Zhang Youan that he already had ideas about Zhang Xueyou's new song. .
Zhang Youan was of course very happy to hear that Zhou Yan had a new song, but he couldn't help but ask, "How about writing another one for Lin Yilian?"
Although they did not agree. Du Zizhi wanted to write two songs for Lin Yilian, but Du Zizhi had invited the two songs before, and Du Zizhi did help a lot during this time.
It would be easy to say that Zhou Yan had no time to write to Lin Yilian because he was busy, but now that Zhou Yan has written a song for Zhang Xueyou, it is inevitable that Du Zizhi and the others will not have any ideas.
Zhou Yan also nodded. Since he wants to repay the favor, he should repay it properly.
He pondered for a moment, "How about I write another chorus for Zhang Xueyou and Lin Yilian? They are not in the same company, how can it be inconvenient?"
Zhang Youan smiled and said, "How can it be inconvenient? It’s just a chorus, not a singer from the same company, and they have sung together a lot. Moreover, Zhang Xueyou and Lin Yilian have a very good relationship, so they can communicate easily.”
“In that case, I will give it to you again. They write a chorus," Zhou Yan said.
"Well, you decide for yourself. Don't be too tired. How is your arm now?" Zhang Youan asked.
Jiang Xia reported Zhou Yan’s arm injury to Zhang Youan the next day. After all, it was not a trivial matter, and Zhang Youan, as a manager, must know about it.
"It's nothing serious. It hurt a little in the first two days. It's much better these two days. I think it will be fine in three to five days."
In fact, Zhou Yan can now hold chopsticks in his right hand to eat, but when he moves, There is still some pain, because Zhou Yan is afraid of worsening the injury, so Zhou Yan can use his right arm as soon as possible.
These days he uses his right hand all the time. Although it is difficult to write, he can still eat.
"It's okay, just be careful next time you go to the set."
"Okay, just say it like this."
After talking to Zhang Youan on the phone, Zhou Yan wrote down "My Hair is Messy" and "Why I Love You So Much" on the memo.
"Why Do I Love You So Much" was a duet song he just thought of for Zhang Xueyou and Lin Yilian. The original version of this song is also a Korean song, and the Mandarin version was sung by Huang Pinyuan, Karen Mok.
Now Zhou Yan borrowed this song in advance and sang it to Zhang Xueyou and Lin Yilian. Their styles are quite suitable.
And these three songs, plus the two songs given to Anita Mui, are already five songs. If there are other songs in the future, they can be combined into an album. Maybe we can send it to Goryeo and Neon and get a reverse output.
……
Two days later, on the evening of the third day, when Zhou Yan arrived at the concert hall at 4:50, there were already more than a dozen people in the orchestra.
Zhou Yan’s scheduled time slot was from 5:30 to 7:30. They were lucky. No one else used the concert hall before 5:30.
As soon as she saw Zhou Yan, Fang Xiu walked towards him holding a watch.
"Senior brother, let me show you the roster."
Zhou Yan nodded and took the roster.
On this roster, there are the names of everyone in the band. Some people have red ticks after their names, some have black ticks, and some have written notes.
A red tick means that there is no way to come to the evening event today and you have to ask for leave. After all, at 5:30, some students have to go to class, and besides class, there may be other delays. Lived.
Those with a black check mark mean they have arrived at the scene.
There are two text notes with the same content, but no one was found.
Nowadays, communication is not developed, so it is normal to not be able to find someone even if they are in the same school. There are dozens of people in their band, but only two of them have not been contacted, which is already considered a small number.
Seeing that there were relatively few people asking for leave today, Zhou Yan said with a smile, "Not bad, there are quite a lot of people today, and I just have something to announce."
"What is it?" Yu Ran asked next to him, "Yes. Isn’t there a new song to practice?”
Zhou Yan said with a smile: “There are new songs every day. At this time, I don’t want you to practice new songs. It’s something else.”
Hearing that there was no new music, Yu Ran was stunned and a little disappointed.
Fang Xiu was about to ask when Zhou Yan said again, "Let's wait until everyone arrives before announcing."
The two nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
In the next ten minutes, people came up very quickly. At around 5:00, Fang Xiu came over with the roster and said, "Senior Brother Zhou Yan, everyone who is supposed to be here is here."
"Yes." Zhou Yan nodded, then clapped his hands, "Everyone, please stop and listen to what I have to say."
The orchestra members who were adjusting their instruments all looked over.
Zhou Yan said with a smile, "Before today's rehearsal begins, I will announce two things. First, from today on, Fang Xiu will be the leader of our orchestra. He will listen to the orchestra's daily rehearsals. She arranges and schedules.”
No one was surprised to hear that Fang Xiu had taken over as band leader, because when Zhou Yan was away, Fang Xiu was basically doing everything in the band.
Fang Xiu herself was not even surprised. Zhou Yan had asked for her opinion on this matter before, and she agreed. Otherwise, Zhou Yan would not have announced this matter in public.
Of course, no surprise at all, everyone still applauded to express congratulations.
After the applause gradually stopped, Zhou Yan continued, "The second thing is that our band is going to change its name."
When they heard that the band was going to change its name, everyone was a little surprised.
The name of their band has just been decided not long ago, so why do they have to change it?
At that time, the name was chosen through democratic voting by everyone, and most people were very satisfied with the name.
For a while, everyone couldn't help but start talking.
Zhou Yan pressed his hand and said, "Don't be impatient, everyone. Listen to me. In fact, it's not a name change. It's just adding the name of our school in front of the original name. From now on, the full name of our band will be It’s the Central Conservatory of Music Piano Youth Symphony Orchestra.”
Hearing this, the discussion that had just stopped started again, and became louder.
"Why did you add the school? Didn't you say you wouldn't join the school before?"
"Could it be that the school asked you to add it?"
"If the school asked you to add it, that's a good thing. Ah.”
“We suddenly became a regular army?”
“Aren’t we originally a regular army?”
...
Zhou Yan answered their questions with a smile, "Because the school leaders attach great importance to your development, they made the decision to let our orchestra add the school's name. After adding the name, we can use it every week Ten hours in the concert hall basically meet the rehearsal needs.”
Everyone was very happy to hear Zhou Yan’s explanation. Needless to say, they can practice ten hours in the concert hall every week. hours, this is a real benefit.
After talking about the two things, Zhou Yan asked the new team leader Fang Xiu to come on stage and say a few words to everyone, and then they began to prepare for rehearsal.
Because Zhou Yan strained his arm, he did not arrange a place for himself during the rehearsal, and just watched quietly from the side.
In fact, when everyone rehearses, they not only practice the scores written by Zhou Yan, but also other music. In addition to some traditional classical music, they also practice more difficult works written by Zhou Yan before.
Zhou Yan is also worried that if they practice simple music every day, their level will decline over time.
Although their band has not been established for a long time, and the members are all students, after this period of time, the overall progress has been quite rapid, and the tacit understanding has become better and better.
......
In the next five or six days, Zhou Yan focused on school, either studying with the students of Composition 92, or rehearsing with the orchestra.
On December 21, the filming of the Olympic bid promotional video officially started.
Their shooting plan focuses on "easy first, then difficult", so what is shot first is actually the content at the end, and the difficult parts in the first part are shot at the back.
Because the early shooting content was simple, the shooting speed was very fast. It only took three days to complete two-fifths of the storyboard.
However, after three days of filming, the crew stopped again because Greenspan was celebrating Christmas.
And Zhou Yan will also be interviewing potential young actors for "The Sixth Sense" on the 27th.
The young actors were arranged at the Xufeng Hotel not far from Zhou Yan's residence, and the interview location was also in the hotel. Zhou Yan originally planned to go directly to interview them on the 27th, but now because Greenspan is on a long vacation, So I went to the hotel one day early on the afternoon of the 26th.
As soon as Zhou Yan arrived at the hotel lobby, he heard someone arguing at the front desk.
Under normal circumstances, Zhou Yan would not join in this kind of quarrel. He just glanced in the direction of the front desk and prepared to walk to the elevator.
But after walking a few steps, I heard a man's voice with a Shanghai accent.
"Little girl, you are so unreasonable. I don't have high demands, just give us a room on the east side."
"Sir, I'm really sorry. There are really no rooms on the east side now, and it really can't be adjusted. Otherwise, you can coordinate with the other tenants yourself?"
"What do you mean I coordinate with the tenants myself? Then What do you want? I've heard your words many times. I don't believe that all the rooms on the east side are gone because you don't want to change. I'm telling you, if you don't help solve the problem, I will file a complaint against you. Those who participated in the casting of "The Sixth Sense", you know, you have come all the way from Shanghai, and this is how you greet the guests."
"Sir, I really don't..."
< br>After listening to a few words, Zhou Yan probably understood that this parent brought their children to audition for "The Sixth Sense". They wanted the east room, but the east room was no longer available, and they were struggling now.
Zhou Yan went to the side and took a look. When he saw the little boy next to the man, he raised his eyebrows. It's okay, it's not Hu Ke.
Originally, there were only two children coming to Shanghai, but Zhou Yan was worried that there were not enough classmates for the young male protagonist behind him, so he sent four children to come to Shanghai. The one in front of him was another four-year-old child besides Hu Ke.
Zhou Yan was quite impressed by this child. His name is Zhang Tao. He is very eloquent and has many talents. He can play piano, accordion, and saxophone. He also served as a small host on a TV station for two years and has a lot of stage experience. The one who stands out among the candidates.
When the man saw that his demands were not being met, he waved his hand impatiently, "If you can't tell me this, little girl, go and call your leader."
"Sir, you can't solve the problem even if you call the leader. We really don't have any rooms on the east side..." The man raised his voice again, "Why is there so much nonsense? Did you hear me when I asked you to call the leader?" ”
The girl at the front desk probably hadn't been in the business for long and had never seen any difficult customers. After being yelled at, her mouth became flat and her eye circles became red.
Zhou Yan couldn't stand it anymore. Mainly because this matter had something to do with him, he said, "Brother, why is this little girl? There is no difference between the east room and the west room. If you really want to stay in the east room, you can wait until someone checks out tomorrow before changing."
The man turned to look at Zhou Yan, weighed the big brother in his hand, and said disdainfully, " What does this matter have to do with you? You want to be a hero and save the beauty?"
Zhou Yan twitched his lips, "Whether this matter has anything to do with me or not, you have to be reasonable, and I listen to you. , you brought your children to audition for "The Sixth Sense", and if you were to quarrel with people in the hall, if someone from the crew came over and met you, they would definitely have a bad impression of you."
Hearing what Zhou Yan said, the man looked around unconsciously. After making sure that there was no one else in the hall, he gave Zhou Yan a roll of his eyes and said, "Don't scare me, you little red guy. This is my legitimate request, even if it's the crew." People here, I said the same thing.”
Zhou Yan smiled and shook his head, and asked the man again, "Do you know who the director of "The Sixth Sense" is?"
"It's none of your business whether I know." The man curled his lips and said again , "Zhou Yan, I definitely know."
"Then do you know what Zhou Yan looks like?"
"This is not nonsense. I know Director Zhou very well. We often work together. Let’s eat together.”
Zhou Yan was almost amused by the man’s words. This was such a dare.
At this time, the man didn’t want to talk to Zhou Yan and wanted to ask the girl to find the leader. Zhou Yan suddenly smiled and said, "Brother, you are very familiar with our Director Zhou. I am really blind and blind."
The man raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhou Yan, "You are Director Zhou?"
Zhou Yan nodded, "Well, I am also a member of the crew in charge of logistics, and I arranged the room here."< br>
When he heard that Zhou Yan was also a member of the crew, the man's expression suddenly changed and became kind, "Hey, young man, you are from the crew. I was so sorry just now. I was too impatient. I couldn't help it. "My child has been accustomed to sleeping in the east room since he was a child. If he doesn't sleep in the east room, he will not be able to sleep well and his performance will be affected."
Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows, oh, this guy changes his face very quickly.
"It's okay. Since you are very familiar with our Director Zhou, let's stay in the west room for a while. I will find someone to coordinate and help you move to the east room."
"Oh, then Thank you so much."
Zhou Yan smiled and waved, "It doesn't matter. You are so familiar with our Director Zhou, I will take care of this little thing for you."
"Then I will take care of it for you. Let’s coordinate together.”
“No, I’ll just go ahead and tell you.”
"Okay, okay, thank you. We live in 305. If you have coordinated well, remember to tell us."
Then the man took his son upstairs.
After the father and son left, Zhou Yan said to the little girl at the front desk: "It's okay, just do your own thing."
The little girl thanked you with red eyes, "Thank you."
“You’re welcome.”
"Do you really want to coordinate the room for him?" the girl asked.
Zhou Yan asked with a smile, "Is 318 the room on the east side?"
"Yes." The girl nodded. The odd-numbered rooms in their hotel are basically on the west side, and the even-numbered rooms are on the east side.
"Then give him 318 in exchange."
"318?"
The girl took out the book and looked at it, then waved her hands repeatedly, "No, 318 is for Zhou Yan, the director of your crew."
Zhou Yan smiled and took out his ID card from his pocket, " I am Zhou Yan.”
“Huh?” The girl looked at her ID card and saw that there was indeed the word “Zhou Yan” on it, and she was stunned.
"It's okay, let him change it."
Zhou Yan took back his ID card and walked to the elevator entrance.
Going upstairs, Zhou Yan went to find Wang Xiaoshuai and Gao Jinwen.
In order to provide intensive training for the young actors, Zhou Yan specially invited Gao Jinwen to serve as the performance coach of the crew. The three of them will also serve as judges for tomorrow's interview.
Gao Jinwen was also very happy to see Zhou Yan. They had not seen each other in the past two years since they parted ways in the Qiao Family Courtyard. This time Gao Jinwen was invited to be the performance director, and Zhou Yan only had a phone call with him.
Gao Jinwen said with emotion, "Two years ago, you were still worrying about how to play Chen Feipu. In just two years, you are already filming your second feature film."
Zhou Yan laughed. , "Teacher Gao, I want to thank you. You are my first acting teacher. I cannot embark on this path without your help."
Gao Jinwen waved his hands repeatedly, "Hey, don't put your hat on me. When you were in the Qiao Family Courtyard, the help I gave you was very limited. I know this. Let's not talk about the past. Now I am a soldier under your Director Zhou, and we have to listen to you on what we do in the future."
Wang Xiaoshuai said with a smile, "The top priority now is to finalize the choice of the young male protagonist. Come on, Teacher Gao and I have already read the information about these children. How about we chat in advance?”
Zhou Yan shook his head, “It’s better not to talk now, so as not to be prejudicial until after the interview tomorrow. , let’s discuss it carefully.”
Gao Jinwen smiled and nodded, “That’s okay, sometimes the first impression is very important.”
“Teacher Gao should pay more attention to the audition tomorrow. "In terms of performance, you are more professional than Xiaoshuai and I. We really need your opinion," Zhou Yan said with a smile.
Hearing this, Gao Jinwen smiled and said to Wang Xiaoshuai, "Director Wang, look, what I said before is absolutely right. Director Zhou just likes to put high hats on others. This was the case two years ago, but it is not the case now. Change."
Zhou Yan was famous for his love of complimenting people. Otherwise, why would so many people like to deal with him?
Wang Xiaoshuai smiled and said, "I don't think Director Zhou likes to give people high hats. He only praises people to the point. Teacher Gao, you are indeed more professional than us in acting."
Hearing what Wang Xiaoshuai said, Gao Jinwen couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "High, really high!"
Wang Xiaoshuai flattered Zhou Yan and Gao Jinwen together. It's a pun, and he's a double entendre.
In fact, Wang Xiaoshuai didn't like to praise others before, but after spending time with Zhou Yan for a long time, he was somewhat affected.
......
Zhou Yan chatted with Wang Xiaoshuai and others for more than an hour, then stood up and left.
When passing by 318, he saw that the door of the room was open, so he went in to take a look.
When Zhang Kui saw Zhou Yan, it was like seeing a relative, and he kept thanking him.
"Brother, thank you so much for today."
At first he just thanked him verbally. When Zhou Yan said he was leaving, he took out an envelope from his pocket and stuffed it into Zhou Yan's hand.
Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "Hey, this guy is wild and started to pay bribes."
But this envelope is not too thick, and it probably doesn’t cost much. It seems that in the eyes of Zhang Tao’s father, his status is not high enough.
Zhou Yan pushed the envelope back, "It's all for work, it doesn't have to be like this. I have something else to do, so I'm going back first. See you tomorrow."
Seeing Zhou Yan's firmness, Zhang Kui gave up and said, "Okay, see you tomorrow. We have a long way to go."
After Zhou Yan left, Zhang Kui patted his head and said in annoyance, "It took me a long time, but it didn't work." Asking for their name.”
The contact was too hasty and he forgot about it.
……
The next morning, Zhang Kui and his son lined up outside the hotel conference room, waiting for the judges to come over.
At eight o'clock, the three judges arrived on time, and a group of parents brought their children to greet the three.
Zhang Kui raised his hand and was about to talk, but when he saw Zhou Yan walking in the front, he suddenly froze.
What is going on?
Why is this young man in charge of logistics on the jury? Is it a mistake?
When Zhou Yan passed by Zhang Kui and his son, he raised his eyebrows at them with a meaningful expression.
When the three judges entered the conference room, Zhang Kui sat down on his chair and lost half of his energy.
......
It took one day for Zhou Yan and the others to complete all the auditions.
After the last child went out, Zhou Yan put down the pen in his hand and said with a smile: "You two, let's talk."
Wang Xiaoshuai nodded and said, "Then let me talk first. , among these children, three impressed me the most, namely No. 3, No. 7 and No. 32. No. 3, Li Yumin, is twelve years old, the oldest and the calmest character... No. 7, Zhang Tao, is eloquent and has many talents... 32 No. Hu Ke has a good image, good eloquence, and is relatively balanced..."
After Wang Xiaoshuai finished speaking, Gao Jinwen said, "Director Wang and I have similar opinions. It's No. 7. I think the kid is too slick. I want him to play the role of the young male protagonist. I don't think it's suitable. No. 3 Li Yumin and No. 32 Hu Ke each have their own characteristics. I personally prefer Hu Ke. Li Yumin is already twelve years old and his development is not slow. By the time of the filming next year, he may have changed a lot and he will not be suitable by then. "
"It should be fine, it will only take a few months." Wang Xiaoshuai said, he still prefers Li Yumin.
Gao Jinwen shook his head, "The key is that he is stuck at twelve years old. It's really hard to tell after a few months. And if everything goes well with our drama, it will be fine. If we encounter any difficulties, the shooting time will be postponed. , then we will be even more passive. Hu Ke is ten years old now. Even if he is given two years to grow, he will still be twelve years old. There will be no big problems in the future. "
After they finished speaking, Zhou Yan said decisively, "Just Hu Ke, the little guy's performance is still a bit worse than that of Li Yumin. After all, he is two years younger, but he still has potential that can be tapped."
Gao Jinwen said with a smile, "A ten-year-old child, It’s the best thing to correct. Leave Hu Ke to me for two months to ensure that he makes significant progress.”
"I'm afraid two months won't work, let's take one month."
"Then just one month, just leave it to me."
Zhou Yan nodded, "Okay, now let's decide on the supporting roles. ”
Then the three of them began to tick names on the list.
In the end, the lists given by the three people were almost the same, but Wang Xiaoshuai discovered that Zhou Yan did not include Zhang Tao, and said unexpectedly, "Did you forget to include Zhang Tao?"
Zhou Yan shook his head, "I didn't want him on purpose."
"Why?" Wang Xiaoshuai was very surprised, because he felt that Zhang Tao performed very well, even if he was not as good as Hu Ke and Li Yumin, he was better than others.
Gao Jinwen was also a little surprised. He thought Zhang Tao was a bit slippery, but he should have no problem playing a supporting role.
Zhou Yan explained with a smile, "His father is a thorn in the side and easily gets into trouble."
Both of them nodded. Although they didn't know how Zhou Yan knew that Zhang Tao's father was a thorn in the side, Zhou Yan considered That's right. The biggest fear when looking for young actors to film is that their parents will be difficult to deal with.
Therefore, the two of them decided on the list without saying anything.
Follow-up, the staff of the production team will have to negotiate with these people with the list. After all, not every parent is willing to let their children play supporting roles.
When the three of them walked out of the conference room and were discussing where to go for dinner, Zhang Kui suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Three directors, you have worked hard today."
Zhou Yan looked at Zhang Kui and smiled, "Why hasn't Boss Zhang left yet?"
Zhang Kui scratched his head and said, "Director Zhou, I am really blind and blind. I didn't recognize it before. You sir, don't take it to heart."
As he said that, he took out three more items from his bag. An envelope was thrust into the hands of three people.
"A little gadget is not a sign of respect."
Zhou Yan looked at the envelope. It was much thicker than the one yesterday. If it was a hundred, this one would probably cost tens of thousands. , even if it costs ten yuan, the three portions add up to thousands.
This guy is really generous.
As soon as Zhou Yan pushed the envelope back, he heard Zhang Kui say again, "Director Zhou, if you are willing to use Zhang Tao, I can sponsor your crew for 50,000 yuan."
The three of them were stunned for a moment.
Hey, 50,000 is too expensive.
People come to act in movies and ask for a salary, but it would be better for him to give tens of thousands to the crew.
It can be seen that this guy is either short of money or wants his son to act in movies.
Zhou Yan couldn't help but think of the many tricks that were used to defraud money later. Some film crews recruited young actors for filming. Not only did they not pay them, but they also had to pay registration fees. Moreover, many people were recruited, and many parents wanted their children to become stars.
"Boss Zhang, if you have such thoughts, you should put them elsewhere. It really won't work here."
After saying that, Zhou Yan left with Wang Xiaoshuai and others.
Looking at the backs of Zhou Yan and the others, Zhang Kui sighed. He also knew that it was not good to give money in front of three people, but there was nothing he could do. He had no chance to see Zhou Yan alone.
After Zhou Yan and the others walked away, Wang Xiaoshuai joked, "Aren't you curious about how much money is in the envelope?"
"I'm curious, why don't you go back and ask for me?"
"It's better not to say goodbye. I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand the test myself, so I took the money."
......
After having dinner with Wang Xiaoshuai and the others, Zhou Yan went home.
Not long after arriving home, I received a call from Zhang Youan.
On the phone, Zhang Youan first asked Zhou Yan about the audition today. When he learned that the candidate for the small lead role had been decided, he asked Zhou Yan, "You said you wanted to write a song for Zhang Xueyou and the others before. How is it now? PolyGram is still there today. You called me."
Zhou Yan thought for a while and said, "I'll write it the day after tomorrow and send it to you."
"Okay"
Hang up. After Zhang Youan's call, Zhou Yan started writing the scores for "My Hair is Messy" and "Why I Love You So Much".
Originally, it was just for borrowing, and the popular song scores were simple. By noon the next day, Zhou Yan had perfected the scores of the two songs.
