Of course Liu Lin is not worried that Zhou Yan will not be able to select good students. What he is concerned about is whether the students can get higher ratings, because higher ratings mean higher benefits.
The purpose of school-enterprise cooperation is to benefit students.
There are two types of benefits, one is the opportunity for social practice, and the other is tangible benefits, such as salary and allowances.
“If your rating is mature, subsequent schools can also learn from it.”
Zhou Yan said with a smile, “Our rating standards also draw on the school’s evaluation model.”
"Then let's learn from each other and promote each other." Liu Lin put out the cigarette he had not finished smoking. "Since the plan has been very good, I think the school-enterprise cooperation should be implemented as soon as possible."
< br>"Okay, this is what I think. During the rest of this semester, we will conduct selection first, and after the beginning of next year, we will officially let the students enter the studio to work."
"Yes, it's okay. , select first this semester.”
Nearly two months have passed since this semester. From now on, students will have to prepare for exams and semester projects. There is no need to pull students to the studio to distract them at this time. energy.
We will start the selection this year and take advantage of this time to explore and explore again. Moreover, the matter of school-enterprise cooperation is not something that Liu Lin can just open his mouth to decide. He has to hold a meeting to discuss it, which will definitely take some time.
Zhou Yan smiled and said, "After the school-enterprise cooperation begins, the school will need a teacher to lead the team, right? Someone will also be responsible for the connection between the studio and the school."
Liu Lin looked at Zhou Yan, and then He lit a cigarette and asked, "Who do you recommend?"
Zhou Yan did not beat around the bush and recommended directly, "I think Senior Brother Ye is quite suitable. He has high professional level, qualifications and vision." , and he has done film soundtrack work himself, so he is more familiar with this business than other teachers. "
After the last awards ceremony, after drinking together, Zhou Yan said. I want to sign Ye Xiaogang, Guo Wenjing and the others into the studio.
Now they have this school-enterprise cooperation, which is just an opportunity.
Liu Lin nodded, and he agreed with what Zhou Yan said.
Ye Xiaogang is a graduate of the Composition Department of Genzheng Miaohong. He has been abroad and worked as a film scorer. His compatibility with Zhou Yan Studio is indeed higher than that of other teachers.
Moreover, the department also faced difficulties with Ye Xiaogang’s arrangements.
Ye Xiaogang and Guo Wenjing were in the same class, and the students in their class were very famous. However, when Ye Xiaogang came back after going out for a while, there was no good position for him in the department for a while.
Originally, he was wanted to serve as a deputy director, but the position of deputy director has never been vacant.
At this time, it is indeed a good choice to let Ye Xiaogang be responsible for leading the student team of school-enterprise cooperation.
Otherwise, people who come back from abroad will never have good opportunities, and the school will not be able to attract more outstanding graduates to return to school.
After pondering for a moment, Liu Lin said, "Let's set up a school-enterprise cooperation office, let Ye Xiaogang be the director of this office, and give him one or two helpers."
"The principal's idea is very thoughtful. After the school-enterprise cooperation begins, there is indeed a need for a school-enterprise cooperation office."
"Have you told Ye Xiaogang about the school-enterprise cooperation?" Liu Lin asked.
Zhou Yan shook his head, "No, I have only reported this matter to you and my teacher for the time being."
"Then don't rush to talk about it. The implementation of school-enterprise cooperation and the establishment of a school-enterprise cooperation office need to be discussed at a meeting. . After the meeting has the results and it is confirmed that the school enterprise office will be added, I will talk to Ye Xiaogang and ask for his personal opinion on the transfer of positions. By the way - "
Liu Lin. Thinking of another thing, he said with a smile, "I heard that your new movie is going to be released. I've seen the news in the past two days."
"Well, it will premiere in the mainland next month."
"When exactly? If I have time, I will go and cheer for you. I also like to watch movies. I still have the disc at home and bought it a long time ago."
Zhou Yan pursed his lips and smiled. The disc in Liu Lin's house was most likely a pirated copy, because the disc "Spring of the Cowherd Class" had just been released in the mainland not long ago.
He said he bought it a long time ago, so it is naturally impossible.
Because piracy is so rampant, sales of genuine discs are not very good after they are released.
In addition to the box office, this movie made the most money in the mainland from the TV broadcast rights. This year, the movie channel alone broadcast "Spring of the Cowherd Class" twice.
The movie channel only officially launched this year, but it has been very popular since it started. Domestic movies like "The Spring of the Cowherd" that are well-known, have high box office and have won international awards are naturally the channel's darling.
Moreover, the movie channel not only broadcast "Spring of the Cowherd Class", but also made a special feature to introduce this movie and Zhou Yan.
Movie channels are so fond of "Spring of the Cowherd Class" not only because the film has won awards abroad, but also because the country now attaches great importance to the promotion of compulsory education.
Although the country implemented nine-year compulsory education in 1986, many places have not implemented it well, and there are still a large number of child laborers.
Sun Hailang previously published an article titled "The Tilted World of Child Labor", which also attracted the attention of all sectors of society to the issue of children's education.
"Spring in the Cowherd Class" has a very special significance in education.
"Speaking of "Spring in the Cowherd Class", I remembered one thing. The Vocal Opera Department seems to be very interested in your film, especially the Opera Performance Teaching and Research Department. They also studied the songs in it. They He said this movie is suitable for being turned into an opera. "
Zhou Yan nodded, "Well, because there are many songs, it would be much less work if it were turned into a musical. When I was in Houston, USA, I met. I met a musical director and he wanted to change "The Spring of the Cowherd" into a musical."
"Do you agree?" Liu Lin asked.
“No.” Zhou Yan shook his head, “I don’t have any ideas at the moment, but I might do it later.”
“Then when you are ready, you can let the teachers and students of the Vocal Music and Opera Department Let’s learn.”
"Let's learn from each other. In fact, I really want to write another musical script. I'll find time to secretly learn from the opera department."
"No problem, I think they will definitely welcome you." ”
In fact, it doesn’t make sense for Zhou Yan to go to the Vocal Opera Department. The Vocal Opera Department of their school focuses on performance and music, not on script writing.
The teachers in the opera department are naturally capable of writing scripts, but they are certainly not their specialty.
Looking at the three teaching and research sections under their department, the vocal music teaching and research section, the piano accompaniment teaching and research section, and the opera performance teaching and research section, none of them are related to screenwriting.
If Zhou Yan really wanted to seek advice from someone, he could actually go to China National Theater, Yanjing Television, or Yenching University and Yenching Normal University. The first two are closer to acting, while the latter two are more literary.
Zhou Yan said before that he would write the script for the musical "The Greatest Showman" by the end of the year, but he has not started writing much yet. Now that time is slowly running out.
If I don’t put pen to paper, I’m afraid I won’t be able to finish writing this year.
However, since Zhou Yan told Kareem Abdul-Jabbar that he would write the script by the end of the year, he would not break his promise and would work overtime and work overtime to finish it.
It just so happened that he was going to attend a writers' conference in a while, and there would be a group of writers together. Many of them had experience in writing scripts, including TV scripts, movie scripts, stage play scripts, and drama scripts. Even sketch scripts, those writers have dabbled in them.
Seeing that Liu Lin was about to finish smoking his second cigarette, Zhou Yan said with a smile, "Principal, if you have time on the 20th next month, you can go to the premiere of "Lovers in Time and Space". The premiere will be in Yanjing. It will be held in the concert hall. I will give you some tickets when the time comes."
"Okay." Liu Lin smiled, "It doesn't matter, I just want one ticket." "No problem. I’ll bring you the tickets later.”
……
In the next few days, Zhou Yan was relatively relaxed, and his pace of life suddenly slowed down. .
After breakfast in the morning, he first went to the orchestra department to show his face. After lunch at school at noon, he went to the studio.
The efficiency of the electronics factory is very fast, and the move is almost complete.
The studio has begun to move the canteen to Building 4 next to Building 3. In addition to the canteen, the offices in the warehouse will also be moved to Building 4, leaving only Zhou Yanyi. office.
From now on, the warehouse will mainly be reserved for functional areas, and the post-production workshop for the soundtrack is already in a hurry.
Li Tao told Zhou Yan about this good opportunity. He kept staring at the empty room in Building 3, but Zhou Yan never agreed. Now that there is a new building, Zhou Yan directly asked Li Tao and the others to take it. The office was moved there, leaving the original room to expand into the new workshop.
After this expansion, it should be enough for a long time.
By the time of the next expansion, a new building should be built in the park.
Zhou Yan plans to start groundbreaking next year. He will build two buildings first. One will be used as a living building with a canteen and temporary dormitories. The other will replace the current warehouse and serve as a higher-standard recording studio and production workshop. .
In a few years, their decoration and equipment will be updated.
Every afternoon, Zhou Yan takes some time to write the script for the musical "The Greatest Showman".
At five o'clock in the evening, he got off work early, and after eating, he ran to the rehearsal room or recording studio to practice his instrument.
During this period, because he was too busy, he neglected to practice his instruments and had already deteriorated, especially the violin. His level was not good enough to begin with, and his level dropped quickly if he did not practice for a long time.
On the contrary, it is the bamboo flute, because the foundation is thick, there is no obvious decline, and the recovery is very fast.
He doesn't have any high aspirations for musical instruments now. He just needs to maintain the current level of the bamboo flute, piano and violin and not retreat - in fact, the violin can still improve a bit, after all, its basic foundation is good. Not much better.
If he has time, he will also explore other instruments.
Knowing more about the timbres of different musical instruments is very helpful in creating music.
Generally, Zhou Yan will start practicing at six o'clock and end at nine o'clock, lasting three hours.
Practicing an instrument for three hours is already very intense for many people, but for Zhou Yan, this is just recreational time.
This can also be regarded as one of his talents, that is, he can sit still and handle no matter how boring the practice is, very calmly, at least he will not have a mental breakdown.
After having fun, he went straight home and went to bed at ten o'clock.
Going to bed at ten o'clock is already very early for Zhou Yan.
When he was working on the later stage of "Space Traveler" some time ago, Zhou Yan was basically busy until late at night, and sometimes even went to bed at four or five o'clock in the morning.
And even if he went to bed at four or five o'clock in the morning, he would get up at seven or eight o'clock, and he would have very little sleep time.
Now he goes to bed at ten o'clock every night, and then gets up at six thirty in the morning, sleeping for eight and a half hours.
After getting up, he will exercise on an empty stomach for half an hour before eating breakfast.
Such a self-disciplined pace of life allowed Zhou Yan to quickly adjust to the fatigue caused some time ago.
In fact, this is also one of the talents.
Some people are accustomed to a biological clock and it is difficult to adjust it.
For example, a person who sleeps in the middle of the night all year round basically cannot adjust his schedule in a short period of time and fall asleep at ten o'clock.
But Zhou Yan can. Unless there are special circumstances, Zhou Yan can go to sleep at any time he wants and wake up at any time he wants.
Of course, the premise is that you are at home. If you go out to stay in a hotel, it may take some time to adapt.
Zhou Yan continued to live like this for more than half a month.
The representative meeting is about to begin, and Zhou Yan is about to start receiving guests.
On December 12, Su Tong came to Yanjing first.
After Su Tong came to Yanjing, he first found Yu Hua and Shi Tiesheng, and then they gave Su Tong to Yanjing. Brought to Zhou Yan's studio.
On the afternoon of the 12th, just as Zhou Yan picked up his pen to write the script for "The Greatest Showman", Yu Hua and the three of them arrived at the door.
The office door was not closed. Yu Hua poked the door with his toe to knock on it, and then pushed Shi Tiesheng directly into the office.
"Zhou Yan, we brought you fellow countryman."
Su Tong stood behind Yu Hua at first, but Zhou Yan didn't see it. He didn't hear the word "fellow countryman" before he heard it. After reacting, I thought to myself, is there someone coming from Jinling?
Seeing Su Tong, Zhou Yan suddenly realized that he remembered that he and Su Tong were fellow villagers.
He and Su Tong, one from Jinling and the other from Su City, belong to the same Su Province, so naturally they can be regarded as fellow townsmen. However, usually, people in these two cities do not consider them to be fellow townsmen.
Mainly Jinling and Suzhou. Although they both belong to Suzhou Province and are not very far apart, the dialects and living habits of the two cities are very different.
Mainly due to dialects, there is still a big difference between the speech in the Wu dialect area and the Jianghuai Mandarin area.
Zhou Yan stood up with a smile, "I have been wondering for the past two days who will come first, but I didn't expect it to be you, Teacher Su."
Su Tong was earlier than Yu Hua and the others. Su Tong played a big role in knowing Zhou Yan, and Zhou Yan was able to serve as the soundtrack assistant for "Raise the Red Lantern" at that time, but Zhou Yan and he were not familiar with Yu Hua and others.
After all, we usually spend less time together, unlike Yu Hua and the others, who have already regarded the studio as their home.
The two shook hands first and exchanged some pleasantries. Zhou Yan smiled and said, "Teacher Su, you have been tired from the journey. Sit down and I will pour you a cup of tea."
"Thank you. ."
Yu Hua said with a smile, "Please help me make a drink, Tie Sheng. Forget it, give him a glass of boiled water."
Zhou Yan rolled his eyes. , not because Yu Hua called him, but because Yu Hua actually used the word "Excuse me", which was too abnormal.
Probably because Su Tong was here today, Yu Hua was a little embarrassed to be so private. (End of this chapter)
