"This is a good method, but students majoring in the composition department have a lot of homework. It may be a bit difficult to find time to practice in a studio." Liu Lin said.
Zhou Yan smiled and said, "It still depends on the students' own wishes. Time can always be squeezed out."
If the cooperation is really achieved, it will definitely be beneficial to the students. It's no harm, not only can they learn and practice in the studio, but they can also receive subsidies.
If you want to learn something, it is absolutely necessary to sacrifice a little of your personal time.
Liu Lin pondered, "If this model is successful, can some four-year majors be extended to five-year majors? Free up time so that students can go to the studio more .”
"That's okay, but changing the four-year system to a five-year system is not a big deal. Let's wait until later."
"The existing subject content can also be optimized... Phase I of your studio How many students can we accept?"
Zhou Yan thought about it and said, "There is no problem in accepting ten to fifteen students at a time."
"Ten to fifteen, I estimate. There must be more than this number of interested students, and we will have to screen them at that time. Do we need to set a grade limit to only be sophomores or juniors?"
Zhou Yan shook his head, "No, I still have to do it. Looking at comprehensive ability, it is not appropriate to set a threshold at the grade level. Moreover, since we want to cultivate specialized talents, it is better to cultivate them sooner rather than later. If the students in the lower grades are willing and talented, it is more appropriate.”
"That's the truth. Should there be restrictions on majors?"
"Let's limit it to composition majors first. Another thing is to set a threshold in terms of academic performance. For some students with poor performance in professional courses, they cannot be They come to the studio. I'm worried that premature career planning will cause some students to relax from studying professional courses."
Liu Lin nodded, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and gave it to Zhou Yan first. Give me one, Zhou Yan didn't ask for it, he lit it himself.
After blowing out the smoke, Liu Lin said, "In addition to practical learning, does this school-enterprise cooperation model have other attractions for students?"
Zhou Yan understood it immediately. Liu Lin realized what he meant. He was asking what the studio could give the students.
After picking up the tea cup and taking a sip of water, Zhou Yan said, "Students who go to the studio for internships will definitely be subsidized. As for the amount of the subsidy, I still have to wait until I go back to make a specific plan. This is what I think, we can't just eat from the big pot. , all students entering the studio should be treated equally according to their skill level and internship length, and different levels should receive different subsidies, which can also increase students' enthusiasm. "
"I naturally agree with this, but please give more preferential treatment to the students. Of course, when we are talking about this issue now, you should not talk about it as an assistant to the principal or a teacher of the composition department, so don't have any Don't worry, don't be embarrassed, you still have to consider the interests of your studio, but on the premise of ensuring your interests, give more preferential treatment to the students."
Liu Lin's strategy is to retreat. It seems to be telling Zhou Yan not to worry about the identities of the school teacher and the principal's assistant, but it is precisely because Zhou Yan is a school teacher and an assistant to the principal, so he should be nicer to the students.
In fact, there is no need for Liu Lin to remind him, Zhou Yan will definitely not treat the students badly.
He is willing to engage in this school-enterprise cooperation mainly to help the school train students.
Of course, this is not without benefits for their studio. As the studio continues to develop, they are also starting to have a shortage of people. After all, Yangyin's students have a solid foundation. After a little training, they can help in projects, which is better than theirs. It’s much easier to recruit people out there.
And in terms of cost, it may be even lower.
"Don't worry, Principal, I will definitely try to relax you as much as possible in terms of subsidies."
"Of course I can rest assured, you have always been very good to the students. When we formed the Youth Piano Orchestra, I You can already see it.”
When Zhou Yan formed the Piano Youth Orchestra, he set a subsidy standard for the students from the beginning, and the standard was not low. Many students made a small fortune in the group.
At that time, so many people wanted to join the Piano Youth Orchestra, and the high subsidies were also an important reason.
However, there are fewer and fewer students in the current Piano Youth Orchestra, and the impact of subsidies on current students is smaller than before.
Although Zhou Yan encouraged the members of the orchestra to go to other orchestras, more people still chose to stay. After all, the Piano Youth Orchestra has worked together for so long and they have a tacit understanding with each other. They may not be familiar with it if they go to other orchestras.
Furthermore, the formal members of the Piano Youth Orchestra are treated very well, which is better than most orchestras.
If those top bands hadn’t come to poach people, it would have been impossible to poach them.
...
Liu Lin and Zhou Yan chatted for a while about the details of school-enterprise cooperation. He suddenly said, "Zhou Yan, your appointment as an associate professor has to be upgraded. If you can successfully become an associate professor next year, you will also I can mention the Huo Yingdong Award, and then mention the Yanjing Outstanding Teachers."
This is the second time Liu Lin has been concerned about Zhou Yan's professional title evaluation. Zhou Yan did not pretend to be pretentious and nodded, "I will. Submit the information as soon as possible.”
Zhou Yan has already won the title of Outstanding Teacher in Xicheng District, so he is qualified to be selected as an outstanding teacher in Yanjing. His road has been paved step by step by Shi Wanchun and Liu Lin.
The evaluation of the associate professor will basically not cause any surprises to Zhou Yan. Submitting the information is just a matter of going through the process.
As for the Huo Yingdong Award and the Yenching Outstanding Teacher Award, although it is not a 100% issue, it should not be a big problem. Zhou Yan meets all the conditions.
The key is that he is well-known to the public, and the jury will definitely take this into consideration.
Of course, these all depend on the attitude of the school. As long as the school recognizes and recommends it, there is basically no big problem.
"Well, you prepare the information, and there will be others to help you with the process." Liu Lin finished smoking a cigarette and lit another, "There is one more thing, the orchestra The deputy director of the orchestra, Fu Xuwei, will be transferred to the alto section at the beginning of next year, leaving this position vacant. The orchestra now has four deputy directors. After Fu Xuwei leaves, there is no rush to recruit another one. However, This position is vacant, so why don't you make a transition?"
Hearing Liu Lin's words, Zhou Yan was stunned for a moment. Could it be that Liu Lin called him here today to talk about this.
Or is it that Liu Lin didn't plan to mention this in the first place, but he only mentioned it because of the school-enterprise cooperation?
According to the path Shi Wanchun planned for him before, he was to first serve as the deputy director of the composition department. Now it seems that the position of deputy director of the composition department is a bit stressful. Do you want him to go to the orchestral department first to make a transition?
Zhou Yan muttered, "I'm not too familiar with the orchestral department. As the work progresses..."
Liu Lin waved his hand, "I believe others who say I'm not familiar with the orchestral department. But you say no. Familiar, I don’t believe it. If I remember correctly, there are currently three or four orchestra teachers who have been in your piano youth orchestra.”
Zhou Yan smiled and said, “There are three or four who have been there regularly. As for the guest appearances, I can’t count them.”
"So, you are doing well in this orchestra, and you have connections in every department."
Liu Lin is right. After Zhou Yan started the piano orchestra, his connections in the school increased significantly. Well, especially in the Orchestra Department, the outstanding students from the previous years of their department are more or less connected with the Piano Youth Orchestra. Several students stayed in the orchestra department and became teachers after graduation.
The leaders of the orchestra have had a lot of contact with Zhou Yan before. The Piano Youth Orchestra has provided great help to the training of students in the orchestra department and their employment.
“If I go to the orchestra department, will my work content increase?”
"I know you care about this. Don't worry, it won't be more than it is now. As I said just now, the orchestra has four deputy directors, and the other three deputy directors are all competing for work. Even if you want to work, you can't Yours. If you have no problem, we will have a meeting to finalize this matter soon."
Hearing what Liu Lin said, Zhou Yan felt relieved and said with a smile, "I will obey the organization's arrangements." br>
"Okay, you can go back and wait for news about this."
Seeing that the conversation was almost over, Zhou Yan also stood up, "If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
"Well, go ahead and get busy."
...
After leaving the principal's office, Zhou Yan went to Shi Wanchun's office.
Shi Wanchun just took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and saw Zhou Yan coming. He curled his lips and said, "Why does Assistant Zhou have time to come to my place today?"
"This is not for you, teacher." Say hello."
"Hey, you come to me to say hello when you have so much to do. I'm so scared."
Zhou Yan walked over with a playful smile, picked up the matchbox from the table, took out one and lit it, and approached Shi Wanchun.
Shi Wanchun rolled his eyes, but reached over and lit the cigarette.
"Teacher, don't blame me. I have been really busy recently and haven't come back to see you much."
Of course Shi Wanchun didn't really blame Zhou Yan. He took a puff of cigarette and said, "It would be good to be a little busier." Things, if you go into my office every day, then I will be really scared. Are you from the principal's office?"
Zhou Yan said in surprise, "You are a Jianghu Baixiaosheng, you know this."< br>
Shi Wanchun looked at Zhou Yan with a smile through the smoke, "I also know that he wants you to go to the orchestral department."
Just now Zhou Yan was still thinking whether Liu Lin had already had an idea or just made it up on the spur of the moment. After listening to Shi Wanchun's words, you will know the answer.
Also, Liu Lin would not make an impromptu decision on such an important matter.
It seems that Liu Lin not only thought deeply about it himself, but also talked with the teacher.
“Well, Senior Brother Liu said, let me serve as the deputy director of the Orchestra Department.”
"I know, he asked me for my opinion. If it were someone else in our department, I would definitely disagree. But your situation is different. You did well in the Orchestra Department. It shouldn't be difficult for you to be the deputy director in the past."< br>
“I am indeed quite familiar with several leaders at the orchestra.”
“We are familiar with each other. Don’t cause trouble to others when you go. When you go to the orchestra, it’s just a transition. There’s nothing wrong with it. In practice, as long as you don't cause them any trouble, they won't have any objections to you. Among the other three deputy directors of the orchestra, Sun Dong is the youngest and the one with the most hope of moving up. He is very career-oriented, but his structure is quite good. I shouldn’t embarrass you. Qin Hong is currently focusing on her family and teaching, and she doesn’t care much about things in the department..."
Although Shi Wanchun was embarrassed by Zhou Yan at first, this time Later, he was still very patient in analyzing the situation in the orchestra department for Zhou Yan. He was still worried that Zhou Yan would suffer in the past.
After analyzing the situation of the orchestral department, Shi Wanchun said earnestly, "Although you have a good relationship with the orchestral department, orchestration is not as good as composing. Here, everyone can tolerate you infinitely. , but this may not be the case in the orchestra, and what happens to you there is not easy for the composer to handle, and it is not easy for Principal Liu to handle it.”
Zhou Yan nodded, "Teacher I know, when I go to the orchestra, I will definitely abide by the golden mean and not offend others."
"Actually, I said these are just nonsense, you kid is better at interpersonal relationships than me Of course, you don’t have to deliberately build relationships in school. As long as you can win a few more awards like yesterday, no one can touch you."
Zhou Yan quickly flattered you. In the past, "I won the award thanks to your careful training, teacher?"
Although Shi Wanchun knew that Zhou Yan was flattering him, he still listened happily.
Of course he, a teacher, is happy that the student is making a difference.
After teaching for so many years, Zhou Yan is his favorite student.
In terms of talent, Zhou Yan has been top-notch in recent decades. In terms of character, although Zhou Yan has become more tactful since he suffered a serious illness, his character is very good, and he has always respected him as a teacher. .
"Okay, okay, don't flatter me, I don't do this."
"I know you don't like others to flatter you, but I just said Everything you say is true. If you hadn’t recommended me to go to Brother Zhao Jiping, where would I be today?”
Shi Wanchun waved his hand, “Don’t belittle yourself, even if you don’t make movies. With your talent, you can still make a name for yourself as a scorer. Sometimes I still think that if I hadn’t asked you to go to Zhao Jiping, you might not have been able to make a score, let alone make a movie, and maybe you would have been better. You spend a lot of time on the study of traditional music, and you have already won the award yesterday. Sometimes it is difficult to judge the gains and losses.”
Zhou Yan knew what Shi Wanchun meant, but he didn't agree with it. If he hadn't gained international fame by scoring music, making movies, and writing pop songs, the organizing committee would most likely not have given him the second prize.
To be able to win an award, your work is only one aspect. What the organizing committee needs to look at is the overall conditions.
After sitting in Shi Wanchun's office for more than ten minutes, the master and apprentice chatted for a while, and then Zhou Yan left. He did not tell Shi Wanchun about the school-enterprise cooperation.
This matter has just been mentioned. It is not certain whether it will be possible or not. There is no need to report it to the teacher now.
After returning, he was going to ask Liu Hang to come up with a preliminary plan. (End of chapter)
