Yu Hua glanced at the house number of the courtyard to make sure he was looking for the right place, then raised his hand and knocked on the door.
After a while, the door opened, and Zhang Yimou, Gong Li and a young man stood inside.
Zhang Yimou smiled and said, "You got here pretty fast, come in quickly."
Yu Hua smiled and nodded, "I came here non-stop."
After entering the courtyard, Zhang Yimou introduced Yu Hua, "This is our music director, Director Zhou Yanzhou."
Looking at Zhou Yan, Yu Hua was quite surprised. When Zhang Yimou called him, he told him that he was coming to the music director's house for dinner. He thought that the music director must be at least thirty or forty years old. He didn't expect him to be so young.
“Hello, Director Zhou.” Yu Hua greeted Zhou Yan with a smile, and then raised the red plastic bag in his hand to Zhou Yan, “This is my first time here, so I don’t know what to bring. I just bought some fruit."
Zhou Yan took the plastic bag with a smile, "My family will be able to open a fruit shop soon, let's go inside, it's quite cold outside."
< br>The four of them entered the living room. Zhou Yan poured tea for Yu Hua and said with a smile, "Director Zhang and Sister Li, I haven't seen each other for a long time. Director Zhang finally came to Yanjing, so naturally I can't let go." Yes. And I am also a loyal reader of Mr. Yu, so when I heard that Director Zhang wanted to treat you to dinner tonight, I took the initiative to take over the matter. This temporary change of place also caused trouble for you. "
In a few words, after Zhou Yan explained the changes in tonight's game, he also praised Yu Hua.
Praising people is Zhou Yan's passive skill, but he also praises Yu Hua from the bottom of his heart. As a Chinese teacher, he has been exposed to too many works of Yu Hua.
Yu Hua took the tea cup and said with a smile, "I have no other merits except that I am active in eating. As long as I eat enough, I have no objection to changing it to Tongzhou."
Waiting for him to take it. Zhou Yan took out another cigarette and offered him a cup of tea. Yu Hua took the cigarette and lit it subconsciously, then stopped, "There are lesbians here, so I won't smoke anymore."
Gong Li smiled and said, "It's okay, don't worry about me."
Yu Hua said politely. He couldn't control it at all. When Gong Li said this, he lit the cigarette with a smile.
Because it was the first time Zhou Yan and Yu Hua met, Zhang Yimou took the initiative to stir up the topic.
“Actually speaking, you two should have something in common. In addition to making music and movies, Zhou Yan also published novels.”
Hearing that Zhou Yan also published novels, Yu Hua He blew out the smoke and said unexpectedly, "Oh? Where was it published?"
"I haven't published many novels, mainly in "Yanjing Literature"."
Listen Yu Hua also became interested in "Yenjing Literature". Although he is now more closely connected with "Harvest", "Yenjing Literature" played an important role in the beginning of his literary career.
"Which issue has your work in? I basically read every issue of "Yanjing Literature"."
"He has a novel called "Tree Hole", do you have any impressions?" Zhang Yimou said.
"Tree Hole?" Yu Hua's face was full of surprise. He looked at Zhou Yan, "Are you Zhou Wen?"
Zhou Yan nodded, "Well, Zhou Wen is my pen name. "
When he heard that Zhou Yan was Zhou Chan, Yu Hua's expression became strange. He had paid attention to Zhou Chan when "Death of the Mayor" came out, and then read it again. When it comes to "Knife in Clear Water" and "Tree Hole", the impression becomes even deeper.
The last time he chatted with Liu Zhenyun, they also talked about the writer Zhou Chan. They were very curious about this writer who suddenly appeared.
China's literary circle is both large and small. Most of the writers who are more active now know each other. Many of them have studied at Lu Xun Literary Academy before.
If you stay in Yanjing permanently, you will have more opportunities to meet, including various seminars and other activities.
Yu Hua never thought that Zhou Yan would be so young. When he first started writing novels, he should be about the same age as Zhou Yan, in his early twenties.
But at that time, he was more studying and exploring. Many of the works he sent out at the beginning were not wanted, let alone big magazines such as "Yenjing Literature", just some local magazines The society was also unwilling to accept his works.
Later, his novel "Stars" published in "Yanjing Literature", looking back now, is actually relatively immature. His style, that is, "Going Away at the Age of Eighteen" only gradually began to mature.
After pondering for a moment, Yu Hua uttered, "So you are pregnant every week."
Zhang Yimou smiled and said, "You must be surprised."
Yu Hua nodded, "Surprised , I said Zhou Yan is quite mysterious, it turns out he is not a professional writer."
Seeing Yu Hua's reaction, Zhang Yimou was very satisfied. He was not the only one who was surprised. He had known that Zhou Yan was still in "" When Yanjing Literature published the novel, I was even more surprised than Yu Hua.
After all, Yu Hua was not familiar with Zhou Yan. The reason why he was surprised was mainly because Zhou Yan was relatively young.
But Zhang Yimou and the others were different. When Zhang Yimou first met Zhou Yan, Zhou Yan was just a soundtrack assistant in their crew and a student who had not graduated. The contrast was too big.
Although he knew that Zhou Yan was pregnant, Yu Hua did not ask too many questions, nor did he talk about literature with Zhou Yan as Zhang Yimou thought. They mostly talked about movies.
Yu Hua is very interested in making movies, but he is different from Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan is interested because he wants to do it himself, but Yu Hua is purely curious.
Actually, Zhou Yan quite understands Yu Hua's state. Some writers are like this, preferring to absorb rather than output.
Where does a writer's inspiration come from? It’s still what you see and hear, and what a person sees is limited after all. Especially in this era of underdeveloped information, many people understand something only by listening to what others say.
Therefore, a lot of inspiration for writers comes from hearing about it from others.
When chatting, these writers like to talk about things they don’t understand but the chat partner understands. The main focus is listening. This is called absorptive chatting.
Chen Kaige is a typical counter-example. That guy prefers output-based chatting. He prefers to talk about things he understands and things others don’t understand, so as to make the conversation enjoyable.
The four chatted for a while, the restaurant brought the food, and they started eating.
Zhang Yimou used to be okay with drinking and smoking, but now he has stopped smoking and drinks less. Yu Hua usually drinks a little, but because his wife is pregnant now, he drinks less, otherwise he will cause trouble to his wife when he goes back.
Gong Li, on the other hand, has a good drinking capacity and drinks generously. She had two drinks with Zhou Yan.
At the end of the drink, Gong Li still underestimated Zhou Yan's drinking capacity. Later, the alcohol got stronger and she got a little drunk.
When Zhang Yimou saw that Gong Li was already on top, he came out in time to stop the fight, "We have something to do tomorrow, so let's drink less."
Although Gong Li was reluctant, she didn't say anything. , did not continue to drink, they do have something to do tomorrow.
After dinner, Zhou Yan first sent Zhang Yimou and others away, and then accompanied Yu Hua to pick up his bicycle.
The moonlight is just right tonight, but the wind is a bit cold. I drank some wine during the meal and my body was warm. Now that the cold wind blew, Yu Hua couldn't help but shrink his neck, "The wind in Yanjing "It's still colder than the wind in Haiyan."
Zhou Yan glanced at Yu Hua, wondering if he meant something else.
“Maybe this wind was blown by sea salt.” Zhou Yan said with a smile.
Hearing this, Yu Hua nodded seriously, "Then he is still my hometown, we are all from Haiyan."
This was not a joke, but both of them laughed heartily.
While joking, Yu Hua found his bicycle, unlocked it and stepped on it. He originally wanted to say goodbye to Zhou Yan, but after thinking about it, he asked, "Director Zhou, what kind of music do you usually listen to? ?”
Zhou Yan was quite surprised when he heard Yu Hua ask him what music he was listening to.
“I listen to a mixture of classical, pop, ethnic and Western music, but due to the characteristics of my work, I listen more to Western classical music.”
Yu Hua nodded, "I've recently become interested in classical music. What do you usually listen to? I bought a Walkman a few days ago and I usually listen to tapes."
Zhou Yan smiled and said, "Actually, as long as you listen to music that suits you, the medium is secondary. However, if you have higher pursuit of sound quality, you can consider purchasing a set of audio equipment."
Yu Hua shook his head. , "We don't have this condition now."
Actually, Yu Hua doesn't know how much a set of good audio equipment costs, but the place where he lives now is relatively small. Not only does he have no place to put the audio equipment, it is also disturbing the residents. There are also concerns.
"If you want to listen to music, you can come to my house...or go to our school, and I will take you to listen to live performances."
"No problem, I will definitely do it if I have the chance. I’m going to take a look. Well, thank you for your hospitality tonight. I’ll go back first.”
"Well, be careful when riding. After all, I drank."
"I didn't drink much tonight. I'll treat you to a drink when I have time in the future."
"Okay, I made a note of it. ”
Yu Hua nodded, didn’t say anything more, got on the car and left.
When Yu Hua's back disappeared at the end of the alley, Zhou Yan looked up at the moon in the sky. Just when he was sighing that the moon was so big tonight, another gust of cold wind hit him. He also shrank his neck and quickly Run towards the house.
...
In the next few days, Zhou Yan was busy working at school. Although this year Zhou Yan still had two classes every week like last semester, Thursday morning, he was busier at the beginning of school.
In addition, the recruitment of musicians for the orchestra is also in progress. Although he has delegated power to Fang Xiu and the others, he certainly cannot ignore it.
Zhang Youan has already negotiated with Zhang Yimou about the soundtrack for "Alive", and finally decided to give Zhou Yan a salary of 6,500,500 yuan.
"Tree Hole" asked Zhao Jiping to score the soundtrack and gave him a salary of 10,000 yuan. Compared with this, 6,500 yuan is definitely not much, but Zhou Yan gave Zhao Jiping 10,000 yuan before, which was completely sky-high in the industry. No one can give me this price.
Let alone 10,000, it is 6,500, which has never been available in the industry before.
"Alive" is indeed very generous this time. It not only gave Yu Hua 25,000 yuan in licensing fees for film and television adaptations, but also gave Ge You a salary of 700,000 yuan, which has completely broken the industry record.
If it weren't for the 10,000 soundtrack guidance fee given to Zhao Jiping for "Tree Hole", the 6,500 for "Alive" would have broken another record this time.
Zhou Yan doesn’t care too much about the remuneration of the soundtrack director. Anyway, as long as he can hold the copyright of the soundtrack, he is afraid that when signing the contract, the copyright ownership is not done well, and there will be disputes later. .
Some musicians were paid hundreds of dollars for scoring films and TV series, but failed to secure the copyright. Later, they could not get a cent from the commercial copyright fees for the soundtrack.
On Thursday morning, after Zhou Yan finished two classes, he went to the cafeteria to have a meal first, and then went to the big office. There was a meeting in the department this afternoon, and the orchestra also had to rehearse, so he did not go home.
As for the dormitory, Zhou Yan didn't go either. He came here at the beginning of the new year and the bed in the dormitory hadn't been made yet.
The other teachers in the office have returned to the dormitory now, and Zhou Yan is alone in the office. At about 12:40, the phone in the office rang, and Zhou Yan got up to answer it.
“Hello.”
“Is this the Office of Composition Department of Yangyin University?”
Zhou Yan narrowed his eyes. The voice sounded familiar to him.
"Well, who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for Zhou Yan."
"I am Zhou Yan..."
The other person smiled, "Zhou Yan, I am Chen Zhigu."
Zhou Yan said unexpectedly, "Director Chen, what do you want from me?"
"I'm here to treat you to a meal."
"Ask me to a meal?"
"Haha, you are not the only one. There is a director's party in our factory on Saturday. Do you have time to attend?"
Zhou Yan hesitated, "Is there an internal party in your factory? Is it appropriate for me to go?"
Chen Zhigu smiled and said, "It's not that particular. You are half of our factory."
Hearing what Chen Zhigu said, Zhou Yan stopped being pretentious, "Okay, where can we get together?"
br>
"Come to the factory on Saturday afternoon, and I will have someone take you there with me."
"Okay, I will come find you then."
Hang up the phone After that, Zhou Yan didn't think much, just remembered that he was going to have dinner on Saturday night, and then got busy with his own affairs.
In the afternoon, the department meeting opened at 1:30. Zhou Yan was the first to arrive. Later, several colleagues from the department came and asked Zhou Yan what the meeting was about today.
The reason why they asked Zhou Yan was naturally because they believed that Zhou Yan was a direct descendant of the department director Shi Wanchun and should know some inside information. Zhou Yan could only spread his hands and express that he, like them, knew nothing about the content of today's meeting.
Today’s meeting is a temporary meeting. I was notified yesterday afternoon that today’s meeting will be held, and this time is also interesting. The class schedule of Yangyin starts at one o’clock at noon, and the composition department basically starts on Thursday. There are only eight classes.
But even the eighth period class starts at 2:45, which means that today’s meeting will not be very long.
After Shi Wanchun came, he didn’t say anything and said directly, “Today’s meeting has only one content. Teacher Kuai Yonggang will be transferred to the teaching office next week. He will definitely do some work in our department in the future. We can’t handle both, so a new teacher is needed to take over Teacher Kuai’s work.”
After hearing Shi Wanchun's words, everyone started talking.
“I haven’t heard of it either.”
“It’s just that Teacher Kuai has done such a good job of keeping secrets.”
“Teacher Kuai, congratulations.”
Kuai Yonggang is the assistant to the department director Shi Wanchun. Now he has been transferred to the Teaching Office. Although he does not know the specific position, he must have been promoted, so they said congratulations. The position of assistant to the department head is originally for transitional purposes, and generally no teacher will stay in this position for too long.
Some people couldn't help but look at Zhou Yan. Although Shi Wanchun didn't say anything, they guessed that this position might belong to Zhou Yan.
Whether the position of assistant to the department head is important or not should be looked at separately.
If you are a new teacher and can serve as the assistant to the dean of the department, it will be a great job, but if you have been in the college for several years, you will definitely not be favored.
Among the young teachers, Jia Guoping and Zhou Yan are the most promising. Not only do they have a close relationship with Shi Wanchun, but they are also the most famous in the school and will definitely rise.
After letting others discuss for a while, Shi Wanchun spoke again, "If any of you are willing to take on more responsibilities, come to me to sign up within five days. If there are many people, an election will be arranged later. Or, whoever you think is suitable, also You can recommend it to me."
As soon as Shi Wanchun finished speaking, Kuai Yonggang said with a smile, "I personally recommend Teacher Zhou Yan. The piano youth orchestra he organized has been a great success in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and his organizational skills are outstanding. It is obvious to all, and he has a strong foundation as a student, so he has an advantage in handling affairs involving students."
Huang Xuanliang, deputy director of the department, said with a smile, "Of course Zhou Yan is very good, but Zhou Yan is sidelined. If there are too many students, I may not be able to settle down to work as the assistant to the department head. I think Teacher Jia Guoping is more suitable. Teacher Jia’s student foundation is not bad, and he has richer experience in managing classes.”
Zhou Yan and Jia Guoping. Looking at each other, both of them were a little confused. What is going on today?
The two rightful masters had no idea what Kuai Yonggang meant by questioning Huang Xuan.
There was no unnecessary expression on Shi Wanchun's face. After Huang Xuanliang finished speaking, he looked at the other teachers and asked, "Are there any other candidates to recommend?"
Everyone was silent. The situation was unclear at this time, so naturally it was Say less and make fewer mistakes.
After a while, no one spoke, Shi Wanchun nodded, "Okay, today's meeting ends here. If anyone is interested in this position, you can come to me within five days. Sign up, Zhou Yan, Jia Guoping, come to my office."
After that, Shi Wanchun left.
The other teachers didn't say anything and got up and dispersed. Shi Wanchun was very efficient in meetings and they were all used to it.
Zhou Yan and Jia Guoping walked to the department director's office together. On the way, Jia Guoping asked Zhou Yan, "What's going on today?"
"You don't know it every day at school, and I don't know it even more."
"I can understand why Kuai Yonggang recommended you. Why did Huang Xuanliang recommend me?"
"I think you are good." Zhou Yan smiled and said, "You might as well just take over as assistant to the department director. "
Jia Guoping shook his head, "I can't."
"Why can't you?" Zhou Yan asked strangely.
“I may not stay in school for long.”
Hearing this, Zhou Yan stopped, “Are you going abroad?”
Jia Guoping nodded, “ If I don’t leave next semester, I will leave next year, so you say, what’s the point of me being the assistant to the department head?”
Zhou Yan nodded slightly, Jia Guoping was right, since he is leaving, there is no need to go. If you become the assistant to the department head, you will have to recruit people again soon, which will delay things.
"Didn't you tell the teacher that you were going abroad?"
"I haven't had time to say it yet. After all, the matter has not been completely settled. I told you in advance. If anything goes wrong by then, it will be hard to explain. Otherwise, this assistant to the department head..."
Zhou Yan knew what he meant and waved his hand quickly, "You know me, I don't have time to care about this."
"It's not that big of a deal. The job of the assistant director is not as complicated as you think... It is much easier than helping Li Bingyang manage 88 Composition before. Didn't you do it with ease at that time? "
"You are just coaxing me. There must be a lot of things going on.”
"Why am I coaxing you? Look at Kuai Yonggang. He is leisurely and at ease every day. In addition to doing the work of the assistant director of the department, he still has time to hang out with the teaching office."
"He has nothing to do."
......
While talking, the two walked to Shi Wanchun's office.
Shi Wanchun had just lit a cigarette and when he saw them arriving, he pointed to the sofa and said, "Sit down."
The two sat down obediently.
"Tell me, what do you think about this assistant to the dean of the department."
Jia Guoping said first, "Teacher, I really can't do it. You know, I am applying for higher education in Germany. Scholarships from the Academic Exchange Foundation are already on the table."
Shi Wanchun raised his eyebrows, "This is a good thing. In that case, then you should be well prepared for this matter. Daad is good at language. There are requirements for the level, and you can’t fall behind in your German studies. Have you contacted the instructor? Do you want me to help you?”
Jia Guoping said with a smile, “I contacted Professor Hempel, and he has personally agreed to be my instructor. Teacher.”
"That's good. I'll ask Principal Liu to write you a letter of recommendation later. It's more secure."
Liu Lin had studied at the Paris Conservatoire before, so his letter of recommendation still carries some weight.
"Thank you, teacher."
"It's a good thing that you can go out." Shi Wanchun looked at Zhou Yan again, "What about you?"
Is it possible for Zhou Yan to say, " Teacher, I can’t do it either. There are still many things for me to do in this orchestra. If I can’t take care of it then, won’t I delay your work?”
"Are you too busy with the orchestra, or are you too busy with other things? How busy can the assistant to the department director be?"
"I..."
"In this case, how about you be like Guoping, Go abroad for further study. I will contact your instructor now and write a letter of recommendation for you. You can choose whether to go to Germany, France, or Russia."
"This..."
"If you don't want to go abroad, that's fine. I'll tell Principal Wu that you go to his teaching and research office and do a part-time postgraduate study. You can graduate in one or two years and it won't delay your teaching."
Before Zhou Yan could speak, Shi Wanchun said again, "You said that you don't want to go abroad for further study, and you don't want to study at school. You just want to be a lecturer every day, and hang out in two classes a week? When will you be able to do this? Promoted to associate professor? When can you be promoted to professor? You are now in good condition and everything is ready. You just need to think about it and work hard, and you may not be able to develop faster than Yu Feng."
Zhou Yan was already a little confused by what Shi Wanchun said. It turned out that the teacher planned this route for him.
Jia Guoping next to him lowered his head and said nothing, but Zhou Yan saw from the side that this guy was snickering!
Zhou Yan wanted to defend himself a few words, but he felt that his defense might sound more like nonsense to the teacher.
"Uh... how about I fight for it?"
Hearing what Zhou Yan said, Shi Wanchun laughed, "That's right, it's time to take on more responsibilities. There are few people in our department and there are few things to do. The position of assistant to the department director will not delay you too much. Time. And I will let you work for up to two years, and you should also consider the on-the-job graduate school thing I just mentioned."
Zhou Yan nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I will definitely consider it."
"Okay, you can go out. We will discuss the matter of the assistant to the department head at the meeting next week."
"Okay, okay, we are leaving."
Two After leaving Shi Wanchun's office and walking for about ten steps, Jia Guoping finally couldn't help it and laughed out loud, "Comrade Zhou Yan, you must be feeling the pressure. I think the teacher means this, and maybe he hopes you will take up composing in the future." The banner of the Department.”
Zhou Yan curled his lips and said, "The banner of the composition department will be carried by you until you come back from studying abroad."
"Hey, to be serious, I think the teacher is right, your talent cannot be wasted. , go to Principal Wu's teaching and research office for a period of time, and it won't delay your work. If it doesn't work, you can get a degree. You will be the head of the department and the principal later..."
Zhou Yan stopped him quickly, "Comrade Jia Guoping, The more you talk, the farther you go.”
“Haha, don’t be pretentious now. When I come back from abroad, I find you have taken over the teacher’s banner.”
“Nonsense...”
"Whether it's nonsense or not, you'll know when the time comes."
......
Ever since being scolded by Shi Wanchun, Zhou Yan always thought about what he said that day, and even went to Wu Zuqiang's teaching and research office by accident. One trip.
Wu Zuqiang was quite happy to see Zhou Yan and chatted with him for a long time. His liking for him was beyond words.
On Saturday afternoon, Zhou Yan asked Jiang Xia to drive him to Yanjing Studio.
After entering the factory, Zhou Yan went directly to Chen Zhigu's office.
Seeing Zhou Yan, Chen Zhigu smiled all over his face. Yanjing Factory now has two treasures. The first treasure is Chen Kaige, a staff member, and the second treasure is Zhou Yan.
Because Chen Kaige, Zhou Yan, and Tomson cooperated very closely with Yanjing Studio, life in the studio has been very good in the past two years. Other studios are worried about their livelihood every day, but Yanjing Factory has been very nourishing.
Relying on Thomson's films, the staff at Yanjing Factory received a lot of subsidies. Because there was a lot of work, Ma Zhouyan had to shoot "The Sixth Sense" and had to transfer a lot of people from Yanjing Factory. The crew These people are paid a lot of remuneration, and most of these remunerations go to the factory.
The main reason is that now that the new policy has come out and everyone has tasted it, the original system may be broken.
In late December last year, relevant departments held a national film work conference and released Document No. 3, titled "Several Opinions on Deepening the Current Mechanism Reform of the Film Industry." The core of this document is to delegate power to enterprises.
In January this year, the document was officially issued, and institutional reform began immediately. However, now everyone is crossing the river by feeling for the stones, and no one dares to act rashly.
But Chen Zhigu knows that if the studio wants to develop, it may still have to ask for money from the market.
The market is ethereal, but Chen Zhigu knows where the money is.
The last time Xu Feng had a chat with Chen Zhigu, Xu Feng also said implicitly that as long as Zhou Yan is willing, Tomson will make a movie for Zhou Yan in one or two years, and the production will not be low.
In this case, when the directors of Yanjing Factory gather for dinner, Chen Zhigu will definitely call Zhou Yan.
“After the script has been reviewed, when are you going to hold a reading meeting?”
The reading meeting is a review of the script. Different crews are different, and there is no final conclusion. "Raise the Red Lantern" The script was revised several times a few months before the filming of "Hang".
The script workshop for "Farewell My Concubine" started half a year in advance, and several small-scale readings were conducted before filming.
Zhou Yan smiled and said, "I plan to take a weekend at the end of May to hold a reading meeting."
The filming of the movie will start at the end of June, and Zhou Yan is planning to hold a reading meeting one month in advance, and then hold the final reading meeting one week before filming starts.
"Okay, you can tell me in advance when the time comes and I will have someone make room for you."
"Thank you."
Chen Zhigu waved his hand, "You're welcome, this is This is what we should do, and we will continue to cooperate for a long time in the future. You have a very good relationship with Kaige and the others, and it is convenient for us to cooperate. If you were not at Yangyin, I would have wanted you to come to our factory. "
Zhou Yan naturally knew that Chen Zhigu was just talking politely, so he didn't take it seriously. However, he thought of Senior Lu and said with a smile, "It's a pity that Senior has not recovered recently. Otherwise, this filming "The Sixth Sense" I will definitely take him. Our Yanjing factory is really full of talents. After our last cooperation, the senior's ability really surprised me."
Chen Zhigu was an old man, so he naturally knew that Zhou Yan was speaking for Senior Lu, so he smiled and said, "Yes, Senior is indeed a very thoughtful young man, but Zhou Yan, you also know that the conditions in all factories are average now. It’s hard to give young directors too many resources.”
Zhou Yan smiled, “The situation will always get better. Just like me, I am also lucky, with the help of Tomson Company.”
"It is not easy for a thousand-mile horse to meet Bole." Chen Zhigu said with emotion.
......
Zhou Yan sat in Chen Zhigu's office for a while, then stood up to say goodbye, and then went to the director's office. At this time, Tian Zhuangzhuang was the only one in the director's office.
Tian Zhuangzhuang seemed to be in a bad mood, but when he saw Zhou Yan, he still managed a smile.
The reason why he forced a smile was because he didn't want to look too embarrassed in front of outsiders.
As soon as "Blue Kite" was finished filming, he already knew that the film would not be released in China, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to him.
Zhou Yan probably knew about Tian Zhuangzhuang, but he couldn't comment on such matters. After simply saying hello, Zhou Yan ran to the editing workshop.
After staying in the editing workshop for a while, Xia Gang came over to him and said he was going to a restaurant for dinner.
The hotel was not far from the Yanjing Factory, and it was less than ten minutes away by car. On the way, Xia Gang told Zhou Yan that Chen Kaige and the others had not gone to work today and had already gone to the hotel first.
When they arrived at the hotel private room, a group of acquaintances greeted Zhou Yan. As soon as Zhou Yan responded, he discovered that Chen Hong was there, not only Chen Hong, but also Teng Wenji who was sitting next to him.
Teng Wenji also glanced at Zhou Yan, but only once, and then turned to continue chatting with Chen Zhigu next to him.
On the other hand, Chen Hong stood up and said hello to Zhou Yan, "Director Zhou, we meet again."
Hearing Chen Hong's greeting, Teng Wenji looked up at Chen Hong again Hong, and the look he looked at Chen Hong was also seen by Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan nodded to Chen Hong, "We meet again."
Zhou Yan later discovered that it was said to be a director's party, but in fact there were not only directors present. In addition to Chen Hong, there were also actresses Zhang Xiaomin and Song Xiaomin from the factory. Yes, they are all beauties.
Seeing this "lineup", Zhou Yan couldn't help but curl his lips. Many dinner parties are like this now. They always have to find a few beauties to accompany them. It's not that there is anything dirty, but it's just that in this place Zhou Yan also seems to have a bad habit.
Perhaps it was not Chen Zhigu’s instruction to bring these beauties, but arranged by the people below, but these leaders must have acquiesced. (End of this chapter)
