1990: Starting from Baojia Street

It seems that Mr. You Benchang has agreed to your invitation. Zhou Yan said with a smile.

Huang Jianxin nodded and said, I agree. I just agreed to it yesterday. I was about to give up. Mr. You's wife is in poor health and he has stopped taking roles since last year. Fortunately, his wife is in good health during this time. That's right, and I also told him that we will do our best to help him with his lover's treatment.

Well, what about the other characters? Zhou Yan asked again.

I really don't have any ideas for other characters at the moment, so I'm asking for your opinion.

Zhou Yan flipped through the script again and roughly studied the other characters besides Ma Zishan.

Except for the elderly Ma Zishan, the most important role is the son, followed by the daughter and daughter-in-law.

Among the actors Zhou Yan knows, there seems to be no one suitable to play a son, but there are some suitable to play a daughter and daughter-in-law...

The scene where he went to Yanjing Film Academy a few days ago suddenly appeared in his mind. Xu Qing and Kong Ling seemed to be suitable for playing the roles of daughter and daughter-in-law.

The daughter-in-law in the script has a somewhat selfish personality and is very cheerful in doing things. She wants to be the head of the family every day, but she is a little afraid of her father-in-law.

The daughter is the purest and liveliest character in the entire movie.

When her brother wanted to kill the cow, she disagreed with it as did her father, but the father just remained silent in the end and acquiesced to his son's behavior. Even when the son killed the cow in the end, he left without looking.

As for the daughter, she had been resisting fiercely. When her brother and the others were killing the cow, she had been crying beside her, but no matter how she cried and tried to stop him, the fate of the cow was not changed.

In fact, Zhou Yan could tell that the daughter character written by Huang Jianxin in the script was more like the incarnation of the young and ideal Ma Zishan, and her reverence for life was still the purest state.

In the entire script, the most outstanding new character is the daughter.

After pondering for a while, Zhou Yan said, Brother Jianxin, I have two candidates to recommend for my daughter and daughter-in-law.

Really? Who?

One is Kong Ling who played Yan'er in Raise the Red Lantern. You should have seen her.

Previously, Kong Ling went to Chang'an Studio for a period of time because of her role in Raise the Red Lantern.

Huang Jianxin shook his head, I know Yan'er in the movie, but I haven't had much contact with the real person. Is she in school now or has she graduated?

Zhou Yan really couldn't answer this question.

Logically speaking, Kong Ling and Zhou Yan are both in Grade 87, but their acting majors are four-year programs and they should have graduated last year.

But some time ago, Zhou Yan met her again in the girls' dormitory of the film school.

I really don't know that.

Who do you want Kong Ling to play, your daughter?

No, I think she is more suitable for the role of daughter-in-law.

What about my daughter? Who did you recommend? Huang Jianxin asked again.

Xu Qing, a student from Yanjing Film Academy, has not graduated yet. She has acted in Chen Kaige's Walking and Singing before.

Huang Jianxin has watched Chen Kaige's Walking and Singing once, but he has seen too many movies, and this movie did not leave a deep impression on him.

After thinking about it, Huang Jianxin said, Can you contact them? If possible, while I'm still in Yanjing these two days, I can give them a simple test.

There is definitely nothing wrong with Xu Qing, but it's hard to say for Kong Ling.

Huang Jianxin smiled and said, Go find it first, and audition whoever you find.

As he said that, he looked at Zhou Yan's lounge again, Can I use your house for the audition?

Huang Jianxin lived in a guest house, which was inconvenient, so he fell in love with Zhou Yan's house. It was spacious and in a good location.

Zhou Yan waved his hand very generously, Of course, no problem, otherwise you can just move to my place, there is no need to stay in the guest house.

Huang Jianxin said with a smile, Forget it, the guest house is quite convenient, and if I run around every day, it will be difficult for me to explain to the boss when he asks me.

This is Huang Jianxin's joke. He can't live in a guest house when he comes out, and the leader can't control him.

In fact, Huang Jianxin is not used to living in other people's homes. People are so strange. When they were at Chang'an Studio, they were squeezed into a small room and slept in bunk beds without feeling anything wrong, because at that time the dormitory belonged to everyone, and everyone They are all masters.

Now that he is staying at Zhou Yan's house, he has become a guest.

The two talked about some things related to the movie. Huang Jianxin and Zhou Yan revealed that the soundtrack director of this movie was Zhao Jiping.

Huang Jianxin had also considered asking Zhou Yan to score the music before, but Zhou Yan was in Yanjing after all, and Huang Jianxin had not seen Zhou Yan's music score at that time, so he chose Zhao Jiping.

Later, after Heaven Replies came out, Huang Jianxin had already made an agreement with Zhao Jiping, and it was definitely impossible to change it again.

Zhou Yan was very happy to hear that the score was by Zhao Jiping, at least he didn't have to worry about the score.

He was really worried that Huang Jianxin would tell him about the soundtrack. If he was asked to do the soundtrack for Knife in Clear Water by himself, his workload would increase a lot.

…

The next morning, Zhou Yan rode to Yanjing Film Academy. As soon as he arrived downstairs in the girls' dormitory, he saw Yu Feihong and Liu Qian from their class coming out of the building.

Seeing Zhou Yan, Yu Feihong was a little surprised, Director Zhou, are you looking for me?

Zhou Yan twitched his lips, what is this? When he came to see Yu Feihong before, Yu Feihong was not there and he met Xu Qing. This time he came to see Xu Qing, but he met Yu Feihong first.

I'm here to find Xu Qing.

Oh. Yu Feihong pursed her lips. The last time Xu Qing told her that Zhou Yan was looking for her, she was curious about the relationship between Xu Qing and Zhou Yan.

She wanted to ask, but she was in no position to ask.

She should be in the dormitory. Do you want me to help you find her?

Zhou Yan nodded with a smile, That's good work.

Yu Feihong smiled, then turned and walked upstairs.

Seeing her walking into the building, Zhou Yan breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Yu Feihong would shout at the top of his lungs like Xu Yuhong and the others before.

Yu Feihong's classmate stood waiting for Yu Feihong. She looked at Zhou Yan up and down and said with a smile, You are the director of The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly, right?

Zhou Yan nodded in response, Yes, it's me.

What do you want from Senior Sister Xu Qing?

It's related to a movie. Zhou Yan explained briefly without going into details.

Seeing that Zhou Yan didn't elaborate, Liu Qian didn't ask any more questions.

After a while, Xu Qing poked her head out from the third floor and said, Zhou Yan.

She waved happily and trotted downstairs again.

Yu Feihong went downstairs first, then followed her downstairs.

As soon as Xu Qing came down, she said with a smile, I was just wondering if you would go to the factory today, but I didn't expect you to come directly to our school.

Yu Feihong glanced at Xu Qing, then looked at Zhou Yan, and forced a smile, Director Zhou, let's go to class first.

Zhou Yan smiled and nodded, Well, you go to class, see you later.

After Yu Feihong and the others left, Xu Qing said again, You came at the right time today. There are some parts of those songs that I don't know how to play. Can you tell me about them?

Hearing Xu Qing's words, Zhou Yan's brows twitched. The songs in Heaven's Reply are all very simple. They are the kind that can be mastered in a short time after learning the piano. Xu Qing should have learned piano for a long time. It doesn't matter at all. There may be something that won't play.

Zhou Yan smiled and said, We'll talk about the song later. I came to you to ask if you have any schedule. Director Huang Jianxin of Chang'an Studio has a new movie, and there is a female character in it that I think is very suitable for you.

What movie and what role do you think is suitable for me?

If you have time, go somewhere tomorrow morning and meet the director. You will see the script then.

Xu Qing nodded very simply, Okay, then will you come to pick me up tomorrow?

Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows. This girl Xu Qing is really good at hitting snakes with sticks. Before he could speak, Xu Qing said again, I don't know the way. You can't bear to let a road idiot find the way by himself, can you? I really It will be lost.”

Zhou Yan didn't know if Lu Chi's statement was true, but he still nodded, Okay, I'll pick you up tomorrow.

Then what time will you come over? Do we want to have breakfast together?

...

It turned out to be a combo... Zhou Yan thought for a while and said, It's a waste of time to go to dinner together. I'll bring you some breakfast tomorrow morning.

Xu Qing smiled and said, Thank you for the hard work.

Seeing Xu Qing's successful expression, Zhou Yan guessed that she might have wanted him to bring her breakfast from the beginning.

Do you know Kong Ling? Zhou Yan asked.

I know you, senior sister, but she has graduated.

But the last time I came here, I saw her in this building.

She seems to have been assigned to the coal mine art troupe. The coal mine art troupe is not far from us. It's normal to come and see the junior sisters if you have nothing to do.

Oh, she is in the coal mine art troupe now.

The Coal Mine Art Troupe is actually not close to their school, but it is close to the North Third Ring Road, making it easier to get there.

Okay, that's it, it's settled. I'll come with you tomorrow morning.

Knowing that Kong Ling was in the coal mine art troupe, Zhou Yan said something to Xu Qing, then got on the car and left.

Hey, you're leaving now... After Zhou Yan rode out for a while, Xu Qing shouted from behind again, I don't eat fried or sweet food.

…

Zhou Yan arrived at the Coal Mine Art Troupe, found Kong Ling, and told her about the movie, and she agreed simply.

Seeing that she agreed, Zhou Yan asked her tactfully if it was not convenient for their group to perform together now.

The reason why Zhou Yan was able to get the role of Chen Feipu before was because the Coal Mine Art Troupe wouldn't let him go, so Zhou Yan had to ask clearly this time. Don't wait until the actors and director are confirmed later. If the troupe doesn't let anyone go, isn't that just a fool's errand?

Kong Ling smiled and told Zhou Yan that the policies in the regiment were also being relaxed now, so it was not a big problem.

Zhou Yan felt relieved when Kong Ling said it was not a big problem.

After giving Kong Ling her home address and agreeing to meet tomorrow morning, Kong Ling went back to work.

Zhou Yan left the Coal Mine Art Troupe and walked south along Hepingli West Street. After only a short ride, he arrived at the Ditan Park. Since he was passing by, he simply went in to take a look.

Walking into the northeast corner of Ditan Park, you will see a forest. At this time, Ditan Park was not very developed. The trees were sparsely grown. The ground was green, yellow, and bald. There was really nothing interesting to see.

Zhou Yan walked around the woods and was about to walk to the southwest when he saw a man in a wheelchair.
