After talking to Zhou Hong on the phone, Zhou Yan stopped asking about the situation and focused on the post-production of the movie.
He has a heavier task now because there are still some songs in "Time Traveler" that have not been recorded.
When the movie was being filmed, Zhou Yan had already asked Zhang Youan and others to find suitable singers. Most of them have been decided and are waiting for them to come to Yanjing to record. There are also some songs that are still being selected. Not decided yet.
However, Zhou Yan is not in a hurry. Anyway, there are plans for these things. Even if the plan cannot be completed, there is always a plan to cover it up.
About three or four days later, as soon as Zhou Yan returned to the music studio from the editing room, Xiao Li at the front desk took an email and said, "Teacher Zhou, I have your express mail."
"Where did it come from?" Zhou Yan asked.
"Pengcheng."
"Pengcheng?"
Zhou Yan took the express and looked at the shipping information above. The express was sent from Zhou's home Sent from the office building.
The express mail is quite thin, it feels like it is only as thick as a letter.
He didn't ask any questions and returned to his office with the letter.
After returning to the office, he gently opened the express mail. Inside was often a page of newspaper... not a page, but a quarter page, cut out from the entire newspaper.
Zhou Yan took the newspaper in his hand and read it, then his eyes slowly widened.
This newspaper reported that the Pengcheng police's recent campaign to crack down on gangs and evil was a great success, and many gang-related dens were wiped out.
It was also mentioned above that one of them was from a gang-related group in Hong Kong.
Although this news did not provide specific information about "individuals", Zhou Yan understood it at once based on the place where the newspaper was sent.
This is the result given by Zhou Hong.
The person from Xiangjiang who was arrested was the mastermind behind the beating of Jiang Mengfei and the others.
Immediately Zhou Yan called Zhou Hong.
As soon as the call was connected, Zhou Hong smiled and said, "Have you received the newspaper?"
"Yes, received."
"Is this worthy of your subordinates?"
"Mengfei and the others must be very happy to know this, but I am curious, how do you operate this matter? "I read on the news that it was caught in Pengcheng. How did the other party come to Pengcheng?"
"I put some bait out and the fish took the bait. It's not that complicated."
"In this situation, is it appropriate to arrest them? Did they really break the law in Pengcheng?"
Xiangjiang has not returned yet. If the other party did not break the law in Pengcheng, it would be really difficult to deal with it in Pengcheng.
However, Zhou Yan knows how Zhou Hong handles things and will not leave any excuses to others.
“There is nothing wrong with it. Several of the restaurants that the father and son bought in Xiangjiang were run by mainlanders, so this matter is not just a matter in Xiangjiang.”
Zhou Yan nodded. In this way, it was justified for the Pengcheng police to dispatch.
"How long will they stay in there?"
"I don't know yet. I estimate that the results won't be available until July next year. It's hard to judge now."
Zhou Yan probably also understands what is going on. After July next year, Xiangjiang returns, and Peng When the court here in the city handles this case again, it will be much more comfortable without too many worries, and it can even handle the two cases together.
If other cases can be handled together, the other party may have to stay in there for a long time.
"What did you mean when you said they were father and son just now? Did you get the father of the second generation ancestor into it too?"
"If you shoot the man first, shoot the horse, and to capture the thief first capture the king, no? It would be very troublesome to get Chen Zhaoji's father in, and he would still have to run around outside, which would be very troublesome. Now that both father and son have gone in, their family has no support in Xiangjiang, and the trees are falling and the hozens are scattered. We don't need to take action. The Chen family's property is very big. They will soon be divided up by others, and naturally no one will come to fish for them. Although I am not afraid of others, it will still be troublesome.”
Zhou Yan was secretly stunned. His brother specializes in hitting snakes within seven inches. He was so ruthless and cut off the Chen family's escape route.
In this way, even if the opponent's sentence is short, it will be difficult to make a comeback after coming out.
“Do they know who is messing with them?” Zhou Yan asked.
"I didn't say it. Do you think it would be a relief not to let them know that they went in because they offended you? If so, I can have someone send a message to tell them the truth."
Zhou Yan said with a smile, "Forget it, let them guess by themselves."
"This is the right thing. If you step on such a small character, you will step on it. There is no need to say anything more. You should leave less traces when doing things, otherwise, you may get into trouble at any time."
"Understood. . ”
“It’s over, don’t waste time. I’m going back home in a while. Do you want to come with me?”
“When?” br>
“Mid-November?”
Zhou Yan thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I won't have time in mid-November. There is still a lot of work in the later stage of "Time Traveler". What are you going to do back?"
"Blind date."
< br>Hearing that Zhou Hong was going back for a blind date, Zhou Yan laughed, "Why are you dragging me back for a blind date? Who is the blind date this time? Which leader's daughter?"
"This time it's a blind date. In an ordinary family, the other party is a middle school teacher? "Middle school teacher?"
"It's really not the case. The other person is a teacher at the High School Affiliated to Normal University, and his parents are both workers."
Zhou Yan asked curiously, "Who introduced you to such a background?"
Generally speaking, , since it is a blind date, the introducer will definitely introduce someone who is a good match.
It was like this before. The people introduced to the Zhou brothers were all the children of high-ranking cadres, ranging from officials at the border to feudal cadres at all levels. Although the span was quite large, they were all within the system.
No one has ever introduced children from working-class families. From the traditional family concept, it is indeed not suitable.
Although the Zhou family may not mind, generally introducers will not do such offending things.
"I don't know what the situation is. Maybe it's because I introduced too many people before, and I introduced them all with similar conditions." "Are you going back just for a blind date?" Zhou Yan asked again.
Zhou Hong is so busy every day, why would he go back home specifically for a blind date? This is not his style at all.
“It’s just for the blind date, nothing else.”
"Well, I wish you luck. Since I can introduce a girl with such a background to you, it means that the girl must be very good. Maybe you will see the right thing this time."
"Hey, female teacher Well, they’re all almost the same.”
Zhou Yan rolled his eyes on the other end of the phone, “Second brother, I don’t like what you say. Why are you treating female teachers all the same? Are you biased, or are you biased against us teachers?”
“No bias, but there are already two teachers in my family, you and my third uncle. Lao Liu and Lao Ba also said that they would become teachers in the future. When a teacher comes in, our house becomes a teacher’s nest.”
“Isn’t that great?”
"Oh, you yourself are at school every day and you never talk about having a teacher girlfriend."
"That's different. You can't find a partner."
"..."
"Okay, you should take the blind date seriously. Don't always take it seriously. Seeing that you are almost thirty, your grandparents will be anxious."
"Okay, okay, you've taught me a lesson now, haven't you."
"That can't be helped. I don't want my family to worry about this."
"Well, people who have a partner are stubborn. Since you are so stubborn, you can spend more money to decorate the villa at home, two thousand Wan, it will be deducted directly from your dividends later."
Zhou Yan suddenly became anxious, "Hey, come on, aren't the decorations for everyone? I still have money..."
< br>"Beep beep..."
A blind tone came from the microphone, and Zhou Yan wanted to slap himself in the face.
I blame myself for talking too much, and the 20 million is gone.
......
Here Zhou Yan hung up the phone, called the building opposite, called Jiang Mengfei over, and then told him about the Chen family and his son.
After hearing what Zhou Yan said, Jiang Mengfei clapped his thigh excitedly, "Old Zhou, I knew you wouldn't let this matter go unnoticed. I didn't expect you to do such a big thing quietly."
“This matter mainly depends on my brother, he is responsible for everything.”
"When I see Mr. Zhou again, I will definitely thank him in person."
"Actually, it was the Chen family and his son who did the bad things themselves, otherwise we really wouldn't be able to do anything about them. Just the fact that you were beaten, I can't defeat them."
"This is called evil being punished."
"Okay, let's get angry. Don't think about it in the future. Recuperate well. Our studio will have a lot of business next year. "A lot of business?" Jiang Mengfei blinked and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Next year our studio will have several movies to shoot, and in addition to movies, we also have to set up a TV drama department. Since we are going to set up a TV drama department, we must allocate manpower there. When the time comes, I want you to go over and take charge of the TV drama department. Stand up.”
“Me?” Jiang Mengfei pointed at his nose and said in surprise, “I’ve been doing props and logistics, and I don’t know much about TV dramas. How can I support the TV drama department?”
“I’m asking you to do logistics coordination work for the TV drama department. It’s mainly for management, not work.”
“Am I suitable?”
Zhou Yancong He poured a cup of water into the teapot and pushed it in front of Jiang Mengfei, "I think you are quite suitable. Your crew has sufficient experience and is very familiar with the entire process of film and television production. Although the production of TV series is different from that of movies, I believe you can I figured it out quickly. Moreover, you have good relationships with everyone in the studio. It will definitely be more reliable for you to come over than if I find someone else from outside, and it will also allow the TV drama department to integrate into the studio faster. To lay the foundation, you are the foundation.”
"I..."
"You don't have confidence?"
Hearing what Zhou Yan said, Jiang Mengfei immediately sat up straight, "I definitely have confidence. What do you think?" I'm definitely not good at creating, but I still have experience in providing logistical services. I also understand what you mean. Our studio doesn't have many people now. If we want to set up a TV drama department, we will definitely have to recruit a lot of people from outside. Let me go first, then you can have better control over this department."
Zhou Yan nodded. Although Jiang Mengfei was careless, he was not stupid at all.
When it comes to management ability, Jiang Mengfei is definitely not outstanding.
But managing this matter depends not only on personal ability.
Of course Zhou Yan can find someone from outside to take the lead in setting up the TV drama department. The person he recruits may have better management capabilities than Jiang Mengfei.
But can Zhou Yan guarantee that this person is of the same mind as him?
Moreover, the people recruited from outside are not familiar with the rest of the studio, so the work may not go smoothly later.
Zhou Yan threw Jiang Mengfei over and asked him to do a good job in the department's service work, and then assigned him some corresponding talents. This would not only ensure control of the new department, but also allow the new department to integrate into their original work as soon as possible. Some work systems come from it.
In addition, it can also be regarded as a signal to the people below that if you follow Zhou Yan, your future will be bright, which is a bit like buying horse bones for a thousand dollars.
If you can’t see the hope of progress, who can work steadily behind you?
“Now that you understand, then make good preparations. After the new department is established later, you will be the head of the department first and also handle the logistics service work. You don’t have to do the specific affairs of TV series production and leave it to the professionals. As long as you are a professional, you will serve as a link between the past and the next. When the department expands later, a department manager position will be added. Whether you can become this manager depends on your performance in the early stage. "
Zhou Yan first ate a small cake for Jiang Mengfei, and then drew a big cake for him very naturally.
Jiang Mengfei was so excited by Zhou Yan's cake, "Don't worry, Old Zhou, I will work hard and live up to your expectations. I can't help much with production matters, but I will definitely guarantee the new department. Smooth operation without holding you back.”
"That's enough. Others will take care of the production. I will also tell you about the situation of the new department in advance. After the new department is established, we will mainly cooperate with Qizhi Advertising Company in the early stage. And our cooperation model That is, they are responsible for investing the money and we are responsible for the production.”
“Then we have to sign many TV drama directors?” To build a team for the project, other times, it only needs a few core members.”
“That’s similar to the situation in the film department.”
“The overall situation is similar, but there are some differences because of Qizhi. A film and television company will also be established there, so you will encounter a situation later, that is, Qizhi has already decided on the money, script, director, and even actors, and just uses our team and equipment to produce it. "
Jiang Mengfei nodded, this was indeed different from the situation in the film department.
The film department now mainly serves several directors such as Zhou Yan and Wang Xiaoshuai. Generally, these directors have new film plans and submit them to the film department for evaluation.
After the evaluation results are feasible, the studio will contact funds, form a team, find indicators, and then start shooting.
The TV drama department may have much less to do. They have become a link on the assembly line, and some of the early work has been left to Qizhi. (End of this chapter)
