Chapter 165 The street where Feng lives
While everyone was watching, Gong Li walked out of the house. She saw Zhou Yan first and was about to say hello. Suddenly she saw Wang Zuxian behind Zhou Yan and immediately ignored him. After passing Zhou Yan, he shouted to Wang Zuxian: "Xiaoxian, you are here too."
Gong Li went to Xiangjiang to film a movie before, and they all knew Wang Zuxian.
Although we are not very familiar with each other, girls are much warmer when they meet.
Wang Zuxian also came up to greet her, "Sister Gong Li."
The two hugged each other, and then Gong Li took Wang Zuxian's hand and said, "It's been a long time since we last met. She's become beautiful again. The same goes for Zhou Yan. He didn't even say a word to us when you came."
"Third brother, originally You won't let me come." Wang Zuxian came up and complained.
Gong Li looked at Zhou Yan, "You can take care of Xiaoxian now."
Zhou Yan smiled and said, "I didn't let her come, but she still came. What? I am a director who is not very good at talking. "
"You are the director when you are not filming, but you are younger than us." Gong Li smiled and asked Wang Zuxian, "On the way. Are you tired? Isn’t it easy to come from Yanjing?”
"It's not bad. The scenery on the road is nice. I came here to enjoy the scenery."
Zhou Yan looked into the room and asked, "Where are Director Zhang and the others?"
"He and Ge You went to do something. , I’ll be back in a moment, you guys come in and sit down first.”
The courtyard they are in now is the last courtyard of the Xu family. The Xu family used to have three courtyards, but Fugui’s father lost two houses.
Usually the crew is stationed near here, and the weather is very hot, but it's quite cool inside the house.
There was no tea in the yard, so Gong Li brought a few bottles of bottled water.
A few people chatted for a while, and Zhao Lao walked in from outside.
“Brother Yan!”
Zhao Yan was so happy to see Zhou Yan. He had admired Zhou Yan since they met him in Chang’an.
When he went to Yangyin to study, this kind of admiration deepened. Not only did he admire Zhou Yan, but basically all the composition students in his generation worshiped Zhou Yan.
Talented senior brothers like Tan Dun and Chen Qigang are also very famous, but they are too far away from them and can't be seen or touched. But Zhou Yan is different. They have seen Zhou Yan's talent with their own eyes, and Zhou Yan is still their teacher.
This time Zhao Yan was called by Zhou Yan to serve as his soundtrack assistant. He was so excited that he couldn't sleep for several nights.
Zhou Yan looked at Zhao Kuo up and down, and then joked, "It seems that the food on the crew is pretty good, you have gained weight."
Zhao Kuo has indeed gained weight and is tanned. He eats a lot and seems to be running outside a lot.
“I’m swollen.” Zhao Zhang scratched his head in embarrassment.
"You're not causing any trouble to Director Zhang and the others here, are you?"
"Director Zhang and Sister Li take good care of me."
Seeing that Zhao Ji's answer was wrong, Zhou Yan knew that this boy It probably didn't make Zhang Yimou and the others worry.
When he was about to say something about Zhao Lao, Gong Li pouted and said, "This is the crew, and Zhao Lao is the soundtrack assistant, not your student. Put away your teacher's airs."
Wang Zuxian He chuckled and said, "He's always like this."
"Yeah, when I first met him, I thought he was a sunny boy, but later I realized that this guy is young and old-fashioned."
Being squeezed by the two of them, Zhou Yan couldn't fight back. He coughed lightly and said, "You guys chat here while I walk around the set."
"Well, go ahead. It will probably take a while before they come back."
Zhou Yan nodded. , and said to Zhao Xi, "Take me around."
"Okay."
The two went out together, and before Zhou Yan could ask, Zhao Zhang took the initiative to report on his recent work.
“I have a record of every day’s shooting. I also wrote down some of my feelings. The notebook is in my dormitory. Do you want to read it now?”
“Not yet? Urgent, let’s look at it tonight.”
“Okay, I’ll give it to you tonight.”
The two of them walked out of the yard, said hello to Lu Wei and others, and then walked around. Turned around.
"This is Fugui's house. The casino is not far away. If you go that way from the back, you can see the house where Fugui and the others live behind. Just go to the right. We were filming there yesterday. ”
“There is a supply and marketing cooperative on this street, and we usually come here to buy things.”
Zhoucun is an ancient shopping mall, and the buildings are well preserved, and there are more at the back. It has been restored and is much more popular than the Qiao Family Courtyard.
The weather is relatively hot now, otherwise it would be nice to take Wang Zuxian out for a walk. I don’t know what the night scene will be like at night.
The two of them walked along the streets of the mall. When they approached the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative, Zhou Yan saw a man sitting under the shade of a tree, holding a popsicle and chewing on it.
Zhou Yan smiled as soon as he saw this person. On the way here, he was still wondering if Yu Hua would be there, but he didn't expect that he actually bumped into him.
Yu Hua was sipping a popsicle while looking at a house opposite. Zhou Yan walked over and followed his gaze at the house opposite, but saw nothing special.
“What’s so good about this house?”
The sudden sound in his ears scared Yu Hua so much that he stepped aside.
When he saw it was Zhou Yan, he couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "It shocked me to talk so close."
"What are you looking at?"
Yu Hua pointed to the opposite wall, "Look at that position."
Zhou Yan stared at the wall and looked again, but still didn't find anything. In particular, "What's wrong with this wall?"
"This wall is newly painted."
"Well, it looks like it is newly painted. What's the problem?"
< br>
"There are words on the wall next to it."
Zhou Yan looked at another wall not far away, which said "It is better to have less children, and the country will provide for the elderly." This is a very normal slogan.
Although it is a bit eye-catching to appear in the ancient city, what does it have to do with the wall next to it?
"Tell me, why was this wall painted? Is it because there were words on it before? What words could they be, and why should they be painted away?"
Zhou Yan twitched the corner of his mouth, "That's why you , stared at this wall for a long time?”
"What else?" Yu Hua took a sip of the popsicle and asked Zhou Yan, "Do you want some popsicles?"
Zhou Yan thought Yu Hua was going to treat him to some popsicles, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Yu Hua say, "They charge a dime for mung bean popsicles here. Buy two and get one free. Buy two and give me the free one."
"..."
Zhou Yan looked After looking at the supply and marketing cooperative, I was a little confused. Can this kind of supply and marketing cooperative carry out such activities?
With the continuous development of the market economy, the situation of supply and marketing cooperatives has been very poor in the past two years. I heard that supply and marketing cooperatives across the country have suffered large losses this year.
Compared with self-employed individuals, supply and marketing cooperatives have inflexible management and imperfect internal organizational mechanisms, and are completely uncompetitive.
It is impossible for ordinary supply and marketing cooperatives to offer buy two and get one free.
With doubts, Zhou Yan walked in and asked: "How do you sell popsicles?"
The girl in the store said, "General sweet water popsicles and mung bean popsicles cost ten cents each. , buy two and get one free, there are also cones for 20 cents each, buy three for only 50 cents, and cream ice cream for one dollar each, buy one and get one cone free.”
Hearing this series of introductions, Zhou Yan couldn't help but be amazed. The salesperson from the supply and marketing cooperative was quite capable in business. The key point was that Zhou Yan hadn't seen a salesperson from the supply and marketing cooperative with such a good attitude for a long time.
Salespersons in supply and marketing cooperatives are considered to be iron rice bowls, or even golden rice bowls. Most of the salespersons in supply and marketing cooperatives are considered good if they don't show off to customers. How can they be so enthusiastic?
This supply and marketing cooperative is a bit special.
Zhou Yan stretched his head and looked inside the freezer, "How many popsicles do you have?"
Although the salesperson didn't know why Zhou Yan asked, he still picked up the book on the counter and looked at it. , replied, "There are still twenty-five mung bean popsicles, twenty-eight sweet water popsicles, eleven sugar cones, and five cream ice creams."
"If I buy them all, how much do I have to pay?" ?”
The salesperson raised his eyebrows and quickly calculated, "Five cream popsicles are five yuan, and five cones are free. The remaining six cones are one yuan. The sweet water popsicles and mung bean popsicles add up to fifty-three. Buy fifty. Each one costs two yuan and four, a total of eight yuan and four. If you want to buy it, I will give you the remaining two sweet water popsicles."
Zhou Yan took out ten yuan from his pocket, "I want these popsicles. Come on, get another bottle of water."
The salesperson smiled, "Water costs one yuan, and I'll give you another six cents."
Zhou Yan waved his hand, "No need to look for six cents, can you please. Will you help me deliver the popsicles to the crew in the south?"
"No problem." The salesman found six cents from the drawer, stuffed it into his pocket, and started filling Zhou Yan with popsicles.
This girl is very decisive. Now she is the only one in the supply and marketing cooperative. She is not afraid of theft in the store if she leaves.
Zhou Yan took out three sticks of cream ice cream and gave one to Zhao Lao, "You can give this to the little girl. The remaining two sticks of cream ice cream will be given to you Sister Li and Sister Xiaoxian, and the rest will be given to others. It’s divided.”
“Promise to complete the task.”
Zhou Yan walked out of the supply and marketing agency with two ice creams, gave one to Yu Hua, and sat down next to Yu Hua.
Yu Hua looked at the popsicle and said, "Dear boy, the quality is so high."
Zhou Yan did not answer the question and asked him, "When did you come?"
"You have been here for two or three days."
"My sister-in-law is at home alone? She is about to give birth."< br>
"Well, it's almost time. I just came here to see her before she gave birth. I won't go anywhere this time, I will stay with her until she gives birth."
"Are you nervous? ?”
"Why are you nervous? Giving birth is a natural law. You have to let it take its course. Besides, I am also a doctor, so I still have experience in this area."
"Aren't you a dentist?"
"Our hospital There is also an obstetrics and gynecology department. "
After eating a few mouthfuls of ice cream, Zhou Yan felt that the heat in his body was dissipated a lot, and it was very cool under the shade of the tree. No wonder Yu Hua wanted to sit here.
"Is there a cucumber patch near here?" Zhou Yan suddenly asked.
"It's true. There was a piece of land next to where Fugui and the others lived. There were cucumbers in it, but there were no melons."
Zhou Yan just said it casually, wanting to tease Yu Hua, but he didn't expect it. He really went to investigate and found out that this guy really has a soft spot for cucumbers.
After a while, Yu Hua said, "How about we go and have a look tonight?"
Zhou Yan rolled his eyes, "I won't do it."
< br>"Then if I get it back, don't eat it."
"We'll talk about it when you get it back."
......
The two chatted for a while, and the salesperson and Zhao Lao came back, followed by several people, including Wang Zuxian, Gong Li and Zhang Yimou.
"Director Zhang." Zhou Yan said hello, patted his butt and stood up, "Why are you here?"
Zhang Yimou explained, "I heard you were here when I went back. I told you to take you around. It’s hard to come here, but you can’t come in vain. I have to walk around to find inspiration for you. When they heard about it, they also wanted to come out.”
Zhou Yan glanced at Wang Zuxian, "Don't call me hot for a while."
Hearing what Zhou Yan said, she was quite unconvinced, "Am I that delicate?"
Gong Li laughed, "Let's explore this street first. Why don't we take Zhou Yan to the casino in front first?"
"Okay, let's go forward."
Zhou Yan and the others left, Yu Hua Also followed.
Along the way, Zhang Yimou introduced to Zhou Yan where Fugui's father-in-law's family was, where was the brothel, and where was the casino.
It was early afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, and no one was outside. There were a few old men and women sitting in some alleys, shaking their fans and chatting, while looking at Zhou Yan and the others.
As I was about to reach the street, a burst of erhu music suddenly sounded not far away, and the famous erhu song "Er Quan Ying Yue" was played.
Listening to the sound, it should be coming from the alley ahead.
Yu Hua asked Zhou Yan, "Can you play the erhu?"
"You know a little bit."
"How come you know a little bit about everything? You said before that you also know a little bit about playing the flute."
Zhou Yan laughed and said, "You really know a little bit about the erhu, But for us, the erhu is easy to learn.”
In fact, for Zhou Yan, most instruments are relatively easy to learn. Even if it is an instrument he has never seen before, he only needs to watch others play it once. If you can figure it out, musical instruments are always the same thing. No matter what kind of instrument it is, there are only a few ways to make sound.
The main reason is that Zhou Yan has an absolute sense of pitch. Even if you give him a pile of broken tiles, he can knock out a tune without even needing reference notes.
However, it is easy to get started, but it is still difficult to master it.
Zhou Yan can play a few conventional musical instruments, and exploring the instruments more will help a lot with orchestration.
"How is this person's erhu playing?"
Zhou Yan thought for a while and said, "The erhu is not bad."
The implication is that this person's erhu playing is average.
Several people continued to walk forward and reached the alley where the sound came from.
There were many people gathered in the alley, mostly old men and women. In the middle sat an old man in his sixties or seventies, who was playing the erhu.
Zhang Yimou said unexpectedly, "Hey, Secretary Chen."
"Do you know Director Zhang?"
Gong Li answered for Zhang Yimou, "This is the brigade secretary of Zhoucun, Chen Mr. We are filming here and have frequent contact with him.”
Secretary Chen also noticed Zhang Yimou and the others. He kept pointing his fingers and nodded to them as a greeting.
Now that they have met, Zhang Yimou and the others are not in a hurry to leave.
After the song "Two Springs Reflect the Moon" ended, Zhou Yan and the others clapped.
Secretary Chen put down the erhu and came over, "Director Zhang, are you looking for me?"
Zhang Yimou smiled and shook his head, "No, this is our crew's soundtrack director Zhou Yan. He just graduated from Yan Come here, I'll show him around."
When he heard that Zhou Yan was the soundtrack director, Secretary Chen's eyes lit up, "Musician."
"Oh, I don't dare take it." Zhou Yan said modestly.
Zhang Yimou helped Zhou Yan brag, "Zhou Yan is a worthy artist. His music albums have sold millions of copies all over the world, and he has also held concerts in Taiwan and Hong Kong."< br>
Secretary Chen has no idea about the number of millions, but the fact that he has held concerts in Hong Kong and Taiwan is very important in his eyes.
"Then you have great musical attainments." Secretary Chen pointed to the group of old men and women behind him, "We are all music lovers, but we are all just thinking about it. Such real musicians cannot be compared.”
Yu Hua suddenly said, "He can also play the erhu."
Hearing that Zhou Yan could also play the erhu, Secretary Chen immediately extended an invitation enthusiastically, "Do you want Director Zhou to play a song for us? Let's Do you want to know something?”
Before Zhou Yan could say anything, Secretary Chen turned back to the group of old men and women and said, “We welcome the music master from Yanjing.” The old men and women were also very happy. Cooperate and applaud vigorously.
This round of applause made Zhou Yan stand up.
Zhou Yan looked back at Yu Hua, and then said to Secretary Chen, "Then I would rather obey your orders than be respectful."
After saying that, he went to get the erhu from Secretary Chen.
When Zhou Yan left, Gong Li whispered, "Brother Yu Hua, try to hold Zhou Yan over. What if he doesn't pull it well?"
Yu Hua smiled, " You've known him for so long, how could he have walked over without two brushes? And a little bit is a lot."
"I've never heard of him playing the erhu." Gong Li looked at Wang Zuxian, "Xiaoxian, have you ever heard of him playing the erhu?"
Wang Zuxian shook his head, "Neither do I."
Zhao Gao said, "Brother Yan can play any musical instrument. His orchestration is famous in school."
Zhang Yimou smiled and said, "Brother Yan, what is there that you are not famous for in school?"
"Well, that's true."
A few people are chatting here, and Zhou Yan is already holding the erhu over there Sit on the chair.
Zhou Yan first briefly tried the sound of the erhu, then took a deep breath and raised his hand to pull it up.
His erhu level is really average, but a little better than Secretary Chen. After all, he came from a music major, and he can avoid many mistakes that folk musicians tend to make.
Since it was a public performance, Zhou Yan naturally had to play a piece he was familiar with.
Among the famous erhu songs, Zhou Yan’s favorite is "Birds on the Empty Mountain" composed by the erhu master Liu Tianhua. Unlike the sadness of "The Moon Reflected in Two Springs", this piece is overall lively and interesting.
The original song has five sections, as well as an introduction and an ending. However, Zhou Yan made some adjustments on the spot, discarding the original introduction with decorative sounds, and then temporarily skipped one or two sections, and started playing the third, fourth, and fifth sections directly. .
Paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 use various Foley techniques to depict a cheerful scene of birds singing together. Zhou Yan changed it this way, mainly focusing on taking the lead and catching people off guard.
This trick also works very well.
Although Zhou Yan’s Foley skills were extraordinary, they shocked the old men and ladies.
Hey, my erhu playing is so vivid.
Yu Hua and the others didn’t know much about erhu, and they thought Zhou Yan played it very well. Only Zhao Zhang knew that Zhou Yan’s erhu skills were average.
However, Zhao Lao doesn’t think there is anything wrong with Zhou Yan’s erhu performance. Originally, the composer didn’t need to be too proficient in the instrument, as long as he could play widely.
Compared to other composers, Zhou Yan’s erhu skills are already good.
"What song is this? I've never heard it." Gong Li asked in a low voice.
Zhao Wei said, "This is "The Sound of Birds in the Empty Mountain" composed by Mr. Liu Tianhua, a famous erhu master."
"Well, no wonder you can hear the chirping of birds."
After finishing the third, fourth and fifth paragraphs, Zhou Yan entered the first and second paragraphs, and finally changed the ending part.
With this change, it feels like a group of birds chasing each other on the way home, and finally slowly disappearing into the forest, and everything becomes silent.
When Zhou Yan finished his song, the old men and women spontaneously applauded without Secretary Chen directing him.
“Good.”
“It’s a beautiful pull.”
"It sounds so good."
"It feels like a bird chirping."
"One more song."
Zhou Yan is about to return the erhu to Secretary Chen, who smiles He said quietly, "Director Zhou, everyone likes to listen so much, why don't you... play one more song?"
"Yes, let's play one more song."
"It sounds really nice."
Faced with such an offbeat encore, Zhou Yan had no choice but to nod, "Then I'll play another song."
Secretary Chen clasped his hands together, "Thank you , thank you very much.”
When Secretary Chen walked away, Zhou Yan thought for a while about what song he should play.
There are only so many Erhu songs that he is familiar with. Secretary Chen just played "Erhu Yingyue", and he didn't really want to play it.
Just when he was in trouble, a breeze blew from afar. The wind stumbled in the alley, became chaotic, and moved among the crowd.
The strings of the erhu were caressed by this chaotic breeze, making sounds that only Zhou Yan could hear. They were like greetings, accusations, lamentations, and joy. All kinds of complex emotions were wrapped in the strings. , and was eventually taken away by the breeze.
The gust of wind was quite strong, but except for Zhou Yan, no one seemed to take it seriously.
Looking at the leaves blowing in the wind in the distance, Zhou Yan was thoughtful. After a while, he took a pose and raised his hand to play.
As soon as the tune came out, everyone could hear a touch of sadness in it, like a mother looking forward to a wanderer at home who has not returned for a long time, or a wife looking forward to her husband on the battlefield.
Yu Hua suddenly remembered an ancient poem, "I left in the past, and the willows lingered, but now I come to think about it, the rain and snow are falling." When he heard this song, what appeared in his mind was the scene of willows blowing in the wind by the river.
My relatives who have passed away do not know when they will see each other again.
Originally, the old ladies were waiting to hear a song like "The Sound of Birds on the Empty Mountain", but unexpectedly this was what they were waiting for.
The old man is emotionally sensitive, and he can't hold back when he listens to this kind of longing music.
The older you get, the more separations you have experienced. Many of the people present are elderly people living alone. Their significant other may have left long ago. This song brings back their memories.
Some people are gone but can still look forward to it; some people are gone but can never come back.
Gong Li sighed slightly and asked Zhao Zao, "What is the name of this piece of music?"
Zhao Zao shook his head blankly, "I have never heard of it."
< br>"It seems that you are still not good at learning."
Zhao Gao shook his head again, "I suspect that Brother Yan wrote this song himself."
"..."
Although this piece of music is very ancient, traces of modern composition can be seen. This type of music is also one of Zhou Yan's good plays.
“Is it true?”
Yu Hua nodded and said, “I think it’s possible. I’ve seen him do this kind of thing before.”
What he said was "Borrowing Cucumber", that time he actually watched Zhou Yan improvise a new tune, so he now has no doubt about Zhou Yan's talent.
Over there, after Zhou Yan played the second piece of music, old men and women also clapped, but this time the intensity of the applause was obviously much weaker than before. Many old people were still immersed in the memories evoked by this piece of music.
Zhou Yan said nothing, stood up, bowed to greet the audience, and then returned the erhu to Secretary Chen.
"Director Zhou, please forgive my ignorance, which master's music is this piece of music?"
Secretary Chen had heard the song "The Sound of Birds on the Empty Mountain" just now, and he knew this piece He had never heard it before, and he was a little embarrassed to ask this. After all, he was so old, and he usually boasted of his erhu repertoire. He could play not only erhu songs, but at least he had heard most of them.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yan played a song that he had never heard of today.
Zhou Yan smiled and said, "It's not from any master. I wrote it myself. Secretary Chen, it's normal that you haven't heard of it."
"Oh."
Secretary Chen breathed a sigh of relief. It turns out that Director Zhou wrote it himself. No wonder he hasn’t heard it... Hey, no, this song was written by Director Zhou himself? !
He looked at Zhou Yan, his eyes full of surprise.
"Written by Zhou Guidance yourself...?"
His voice was a bit loud, and Gong Li and the others heard it.
Zhao Zhang showed a proud expression, which meant, look, I just said Brother Yan wrote it himself.
Zhang Yimou touched his forehead, with a smile on his face. Sure enough, it was no problem to find Zhou Yan to score the music. There is nothing to say about this kid's talent.
The old men and women were also very surprised at this moment. They thought Zhou Yan was an erhu player, and they didn't expect that Zhou Yan could also write music.
Gong Li asked, "What is the name of this piece of music?"
"The street where Feng lives."
......
When leaving the alley, Wang Zuxian glanced at the old man and old lady behind him and said, "Those grandparents are still watching you off."< br>
"Oh, I just saw the two aunts shed tears. Zhou Yan's song is really touching." Gong Li said.
Zhang Yimou asked, "Zhou Yan, can this piece of music be included in "Alive"?"
He felt that this sad mood was very suitable for "Alive".
Zhou Yan thought for a while and said, "It's undecided for now. I'll decide the overall soundtrack style later."
Zhang Yimou nodded, "No problem, everything is up to you."
“Where should we go for a walk now?”
“Let’s go to the house where Fugui and the others lived later. It’s a long walk.”
Fugui and the others later lived in that kind of earthen house, which was not very attractive. Zhou Yan also went to the vegetable field next to it to see that there were indeed cucumber seedlings in it, and indeed there were no cucumbers left.
After seeing this place, Zhou Yan and the others went back.
While passing by the supply and marketing cooperative, Zhou Yan went in again and asked the saleswoman if the popsicles were sold and whether they would be available tomorrow.
"Yes, of course, as long as you want it."
"I don't want it." Zhou Yan smiled, then pointed at Wang Zuxian behind him, "If she buys it, she will give you fifty bottles of cream tomorrow. Ice cream.”
"And I'll give you fifty cones," the girl said.
"Send them all together."
"A total of fifty yuan."
Zhou Yan looked at Wang Zuxian, "Classmate Xiaoxian, pay for it."
Wang Zuxian didn't say anything, just took out a fifty yuan note from his wallet and gave it to the little girl.
The little girl knew Wang Zuxian, and when she got the fifty yuan, she didn't check whether it was genuine or not, and just kept it.
After walking out of the supply and marketing cooperative, Zhang Yimou smiled and said, "It cost you both money to come here this time."
"Come to visit the class. It's right to reward the staff, and it doesn't cost me anything." "Money."
"You also know it's not your money." Wang Zuxian muttered.
“That’s right, you bought mung bean popsicles and sweet water popsicles yourself, and asked Xiaoxian to buy ice cream.” Gong Li complained for Wang Zuxian.
"She didn't even pay me the fare when she came with me."
"Hey, you are so meticulous, ask Director Zhang to reimburse you for the fare later."
Hearing the request After reporting the fare, Zhang Yimou speeded up his pace unconsciously.
Gong Li laughed again from behind, "Hey, he ran away as soon as I mentioned the money."
A few people chatted and laughed in the yard, and the staff were all thanking Zhou Yan for buying them popsicles. In fact, the popsicles are not worth much, but on a hot day, everyone is very happy to get free popsicles.
As soon as they arrived home, Secretary Chen came again and said he wanted to treat Zhou Yan and the others to dinner.
Zhou Yan naturally declined, but the old man insisted.
"Director Zhou, before I left home, I asked them to kill the chicken. If you don't go now, my chicken will be killed in vain. Let's go and have fried chicken in the evening."
Before Zhou Yan could say anything, Yu Hua nudged him with his elbow, "Secretary Chen kindly invites you, so it would be inappropriate not to go."
"Then, shall we go there at night?"
< br>
"That's right. We agreed that you will all go there together in the evening and I will wait for you at home."
After saying that, Secretary Chen left.
Zhou Yan looked at Yu Hua, "You..."
"The fried chicken here is famous for being particularly delicious." Yu Hua said.
Hearing that the fried chicken was particularly delicious, Zhou Yan remained silent.
...
Zhou Yan and the others went to a banquet in the evening. Of course, they couldn't go empty-handed. They also bought a lot of things from the supply and marketing cooperative.
During the meal, Secretary Chen kept asking Zhou Yan about the music. When he learned that the music had only been played here, he offered Zhou Yan three glasses of wine.
Secretary Chen’s son also came home. The father and son drank with great fighting spirit, and the whole audience drank from beginning to end.
When Zhou Yan and the others came out of Secretary Chen’s house, they were all dizzy. Even though Zhou Yan had a good drinking capacity, he was basically in the mood.
I have to say that when it comes to drinking, people from Shandong Province are really good at it.
That’s not to say that everyone in Shandong Province can drink. In fact, Secretary Chen and his son’s drinking capacity is not exaggerated. They are just a little better than Zhou Yan. But they are very good at creating atmosphere when drinking, and they are that kind of drinker. The master who can drink eight taels and one catty.
Drinking is like fighting. If you don’t drink your guests properly, they will feel that they are not worthy of the meal.
As for their fried chicken, it is indeed delicious. There are no condiments in it, it just tastes good.
Original Zhou Yan also said to read Zhao Zhang's group notes, but since he was dizzy after drinking, he naturally put the matter aside and went to bed after washing up.
At night, Zhou Yan and Yu Hua slept in the same room, Wang Zuxian and Gong Li slept in the same room, and Wang Xiaoshuai and Li Hong lived in Zhao La's room.
The next morning, when Zhou Yan got up, Yu Hua was no longer in the room. He got up to wash up, and then went to the casino with Wang Zuxian. There was a scene in the casino today.
Wang Xiaoshuai and Li Hong had arrived a long time ago and finally came to the crew of "Alive". Of course they wanted to learn more from Zhang Yimou and the others.
This kid Li Hong has already started helping the crew.
Some people in the crew joked that Li Hong's diligence was similar to Zhou Yan's demeanor in Qiao's courtyard.
Halfway through the filming of the morning scene, Yu Hua, who had not been seen since the morning, came to the set with several cucumbers in his hands.
When he arrived in front of Zhou Yan, he first handed a cucumber to Zhou Yan, and then said with a smile, "Guess what I saw outside?"
"Did you see a cucumber?"
Yu Hua shook his head, "No, a wooden sign was erected on the edge of the alley yesterday."
"Wooden sign?" Zhou Yan asked doubtfully.
"Well, the wooden sign says: The street where the wind lives."
