When the three of them were eating in the cafeteria, their eyes would look over here from time to time.
But these glances were all for Zhou Hong. They had all seen the big boss, but not in the cafeteria, so they were very curious when they saw Zhou Hong appear in the cafeteria.
Wang Zuxian was wearing a hat and had his head buried all the time. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't be able to recognize him. The key is that the workers didn't expect Wang Zuxian to appear in their factory cafeteria.
As for Zhou Yan, although he doesn't make any disguise, generally no one can recognize him.
Of course the workers here also listen to music, but they basically don’t listen to pure music. They listen to either rock or some classic old songs from Xiangjiangtai Island.
If people like Liu Dehua and Zhang Xueyou came over, they might be recognized immediately.
Workers may have seen the movies made by Zhou Yan, but who among ordinary people would ask who the director is and what he looks like when watching a movie?
After eating, the three of them walked towards the office building. Zhou Hong suddenly asked, "When will your celebration party start tonight?"
"It will start at half past six. "
"Are there any activities?" Zhou Hong asked again.
Zhou Yan smiled and said, "There are indeed activities. Liu Qing and the others have put on a few programs."
Originally, there were no other activities at the celebration banquet, just everyone having a meal together, but Liu Qing and the others felt that it was just a It was too boring to have a meal, so we put on a few shows together.
Of course the program is not scheduled now. They have been busy filming during this period and there is no way they have time to schedule the program.
Zhou Yan looked at the program list. Most of the programs they were going to perform tonight were programs that had been rehearsed internally before, or some one-man shows that did not require rehearsal.
When they were at Chang'an Factory, Liu Qing and the others had done several shows, including sketches, singing, and even stand-up comedy.
Later, when I arrived in Yanjing, they also arranged a program at the Yanjing Factory.
In addition to Liu Qing and other behind-the-scenes staff, the actors on site are also versatile. Jiao Huang, an experienced opera actor, takes the lead and performs a Peking Opera selection.
Jiao Huang likes to sing Peking Opera. Everyone on the crew knows that, and sometimes everyone will hear him sing a section, and his level is really good.
Li Naiwen sang "If Love Has God's Will" written by Zhou Yan, while Li Xiaoran did his usual job and danced live.
The program is not long, forty minutes in total, just for fun.
There were not many spectators. Apart from the crew members, they were basically villagers at the end of the field and some tourists.
"Since there is a show, let me join in the fun tonight." Zhou Hong said with a smile.
Zhou Yan joked, "Would you like me to arrange for you to perform a show on stage?"
"That's okay, actually, I can sing pretty well."
"Really?"
Zhou Yan was a little surprised, because in his impression, even if Zhou Hong was not tone deaf, he had no musical ability at all.
The reason why their mother asked Zhou Yan to learn musical instruments but not Zhou Hong was not because of favoritism.
After all, Zhou Hong was born as a husband. It stands to reason that his mother must have tried to teach Zhou Hong music first, but found that Zhou Hong did not have any talent in music, so she did not let him learn again.
In fact, under normal circumstances, even if you have little talent, as long as you study hard, you can learn a talent. However, if you are not talented enough, it is indeed not cost-effective.
If you are not talented enough, no matter how hard you work, it will be difficult to take the professional route.
Talent is multi-faceted, and some people's talents are visible to the naked eye. For example, Zhou Yan has had good hearing since he was a child and can memorize less complex music after listening to it once.
There are also people whose talents are hidden. Their hearing and sense of music may not be as strong as Zhou Yan’s, but they can still sit down.
Most of the classmates in Zhou Yan's class are actually gifted with the latter. They have not behaved differently from ordinary people since childhood, but because they have superhuman patience in music, they are able to persevere in the end.
For example, Li Tao may not be considered a prodigal, but when he was in school, he could sit in front of the piano for eight or nine hours a day. His perseverance exceeded that of most people.
Many people think this is not talent, but hard work.
But Zhou Yan believes that this is talent, because Li Tao's extreme concentration in music is basically innate and difficult to cultivate.
It is basically impossible to train a child of a few years old to play the piano seriously for more than eight hours a day.
Seeing Zhou Yan's surprised expression, Zhou Hong shrugged and said with a smile, "My mother's musical talent was all passed down to you."
When Zhou Hong said this in the past, his tone It was a bit sour, but this time, Zhou Yan found that his eyes were more filled with relief.
After all these years, the knot in the second brother's heart has finally been slowly untied.
Zhou Yan also smiled and said, "I only inherited half of my mother's musical talent, because I can't sing either."
"Half is enough."
"If you go If so, I’ll reserve a VIP seat for you.”
“Okay, I’ll go with you after visiting the company.”
……
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Yan and the others took Zhou Hong's Silver Thorn and headed for Jiaochangwei Village.
When they arrived at the end of the competition, they found that the scene was much livelier than they imagined.
Zhou Hong was quite surprised, "I haven't paid attention to this place in the past two days. I didn't expect there were so many tourists."
Not only Zhou Hong was surprised, Zhou Yan and Wang Zuxian were also surprised, because There are more tourists today than in the previous two days.
“There are more tourists than usual today.” Wang Zuxian said.
Zhou Hong smiled and said, "Maybe the extra tourists are here because of your wedding news."
"Well, it's really possible." Zhou Yan nodded.
Jiaochangwei Village originally had a large canteen, but it was later privately purchased and turned into a hotel. Now it is mainly used to receive tourists.
This time the crew held a celebration banquet, and it was also held in this hotel.
In addition to the large area of the hotel itself, the large cafeteria faces the coast, and there is a large open space between the entrance of the cafeteria and the coast, which is very suitable for organizing activities.
The performance for a while was also held in an open space.
The crew temporarily built a small stage in the open space. This was too simple for them. The production team only took less than two hours to set up the stage. .
The car stopped at the entrance of the canteen. Before Zhou Yan got off the car, he saw the village chief Huang Youfa and his people selling goods to tourists. Zhou Yan and the others held a celebration banquet and held activities. The happiest thing was that Huang Youfa was successful. This was another very good opportunity to make money.
It is said that Huang Youfa and the villagers sold telescopes, benches and other commodities to tourists in the past two days and made a lot of money, even five figures.
Huang Youfa naturally saw the approaching Silver Thorn here, and quickly handed the goods in his hand to another villager, and then ran over.
"Director Zhou, are you back?"
Zhou Yan got out of the car and said with a smile, "Village Chief Huang, what are you selling again this time?"
"Nothing. Just some snacks and drinks. I just asked Director Shen and he said that tonight’s performance is not restricted to tourists, so I arranged seats for tourists who are willing to watch the performance.”
Zhou Yan’s side. After looking around, I found that there were indeed a lot of benches and chairs near the coast for tourists to sit on.
"What Ana Shen said is right, there are no restrictions on tourists for tonight's performance. But Lao Huang, you can sell some merchandise, but you must not sell tickets or charge seat fees." Zhou Yan reminded.
Huang Youfa said immediately, "Don't worry, Director Zhou, we at the end of the field will never do such bad things."
Although Huang Youfa said it in a righteous way, in fact He had had this thought before.
Tonight’s performance does not have fences or anything like that. In theory, it can be seen nearby, but there are always some suitable locations for watching the performance. As long as he places some chairs in these places, maybe it can be closed. Some seat fees.
Not to mention too much, if you sell a hundred of them, and charge thirty or fifty yuan for each one, the price will be thousands.
But Huang Youfa didn't do it in the end. Of course, he was worried about offending the crew.
Huang Youfa did not know the relationship behind Zhou Yanjiao's end-of-field project, but he knew that the government attached great importance to the crew of "Space Traveler", and if they offended the crew, they would not be able to reap the consequences.
If you take a long-term view, you can also understand the truth, that is, these crews are crucial to their pre-event publicity.
As long as the preliminary publicity is in place, are you worried that no tourists will come later?
Seeing Huang Youfa's assurance, Zhou Yan nodded. He was afraid that Huang Youfa and the others would not be able to carry it clearly.
"I also know that Lao Huang, you are not a short-sighted person. I still hope that you can maintain the order of the scene and prevent accidents from happening."
Huang Youfa patted his chest and said, "Don't worry about this, Director Zhou. , to ensure that the scene is maintained well and does not affect your performance."
At this time, Zhou Hong also came down from the front, and Huang Youfa asked with a smile, "Who is this?"
" This is my brother, Zhou Hong."
Huang Youfa quickly went to hold Zhou Hong's hand, "Hello, Mr. Zhou, welcome to the end of the field."
He didn't know Zhou Hong, but he could tell that Zhou Hong was very impressive, and the car they were riding in didn't look simple.
Zhou Hong smiled and nodded, "Village Chief Huang, I have admired your name for a long time. The reason why the transformation at Jiaochangwei can proceed so smoothly is also due to your mediation. Your local influence We all see the prestige and the love of the villagers for you. However, the transformation here has just begun. There is still a lot of work to do in the future, and you still need to pay more attention."
Huang Youfa raised his eyebrows. Judging from the tone, this Mr. Zhou is involved in the renovation project at the end of the field?
He didn’t ask any more questions, and just said with a serious face, “Don’t worry, leader, I will definitely do my best to die. I will deal with difficulties first, and enjoy blessings later.”
“Serious words. The transformation of Jiaochangwei is for the benefit of all villagers. You are not only a local official, but also a member of all villagers. We will enjoy the blessings together and overcome the difficulties together. The government now attaches great importance to Jiaochangwei. If you encounter difficulties in the transformation, please give us feedback in time and we will definitely help you solve it.”
"Yes, yes, the leaders speak with a high standard, and we also believe that the government can lead us on a bright road." Huang Youfa flattered.
Zhou Yan smiled and said, "Old Huang, go and do your work. I will show my brother around."
"Okay, I'll excuse you now."
Wait until After Huang Youfa left, Wang Zuxian couldn't help but cover his mouth and said with a smile, "This village chief Huang is also an interesting person. He seems a bit out of character, but the villagers still listen to him."
"This kind of local cadre I have been living here and have a foundation of public opinion. As long as the family is powerful enough and understands the distribution of interests, management will be easy. ”
Zhou Hong clarified Huang Youfa's situation with a few simple words.
Yes, Huang Youfa is able to manage the competition so well. In addition to his own abilities, the most important thing is that the Huang family's local power can provide him with backing.
“Let’s go in and take a look.” Zhou Yan led Zhou Hong inside.
A few people entered the restaurant and happened to meet Li Hong running outside.
When he saw Zhou Hong, he also raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Hey, the second brother is here too."
Li Hong has been following Zhou Yan for a long time, and he knows all the brothers and sisters in the Zhou family except his eldest brother Zhou Yu.
When filming "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly", Zhou Hong went to Yanjing with his brothers and sisters. When "The Sixth Sense" was started, Zhou Hong also went to the scene.
Zhou Hong also remembered Li Hong, nodded and smiled, "Xiao Li has become more and more energetic in recent years."
"People are in high spirits when happy events happen. The crew shot smoothly and everyone was in a good mood. Very good. Besides, it’s not okay to work with Director Zhou if you don’t feel energetic.”
Zhou Yan ignored the flattery and asked, “How is the arrangement?”
"It's all arranged, and I'm just waiting for you to come back and take charge of the overall situation. At half past six, should we start directly, or should you go up and say a few words first?"
Zhou Yan said in a deep voice, "I definitely want to Go up and say a few words, but let’s wait until the performance is over. After I finish speaking, we will start eating directly.”
“No problem, I’ll tell Ana Shen later, he is the host of the event.”
"Save a seat for my second brother at my table."
"Okay."
After talking to Li Hong, Zhou Yan took Zhou Hong around the scene, and then found a place to sit down and chat.
Looking at the crew preparing for the celebration banquet, Zhou Hong smiled and said, "If you don't follow the music path, you can also pursue an official career like my elder brother."
Zhou Yan He waved his hand and said, "I have no spirit of service and am relatively unorganized. I cannot be a public servant of the people."
Hearing what Zhou Yan said, Zhou Hong just smiled and said nothing more.
Some people are born to pursue an official career. In his opinion, his brother is such a person.
Zhou Yan says he is undisciplined, but in fact, he is a workaholic, has very little time for entertainment, and lives an extremely regular life.
From the time Zhou Yan started filming to now, every crew under him has been well organized and extremely efficient.
The key is that Zhou Yan hasn’t put in much effort yet. It seems that he can manage the crew well with just a few moves.
Zhou Yan's management talent is evident in his ability to manage things within the rules. (End of this chapter)
