1990: Starting from Baojia Street

During lunch, Zhou Yan chatted with Gong Li for a while and learned that she had been filming Qiu Ju's Lawsuit some time ago. Gong Li also spoke a few Shaanxi dialects to Zhou Yan, and her accent was very good.

I have to say that Gong Li is really talented in this area, but Zhou Yan cannot do this.

When chatting with Leslie Cheung and others before, Zhou Yan also joked that he needed to learn a few Cantonese sentences. Leslie Cheung also taught him very seriously, but Zhou Yan just couldn't learn it well.

Speaking of her schedule during this period, Gong Li finally concluded, It can be said that I have almost no rest during this period.

These words may seem like she is complaining about being tired, but looking at Gong Li's condition, she is still very motivated and even a little proud.

Of course this is something to be proud of. As an actor, the more people come to you for filming, the more valuable you are.

At Gong Li's age, when her career is rising rapidly, she is naturally full of energy and wants to stay on the set every day.

She has indeed had almost no rest in the past two years. Before Qiu Ju's Lawsuit, she was filming The Time to Wake Up, and then she went directly from the crew of The Time to Wake Up to the crew of Qiu Ju's Lawsuit. With this Same every time.

Gong Li asked Zhou Yan about his recent work and learned that Zhou Yan had participated in several projects and had several projects on hand. She couldn't help but sigh, Brother, your efficiency is really high. Since then, It has been less than two years since I started working in this industry, but I have participated in more projects than I can count on one hand.”

Zhou Yan said with a smile, Doing soundtracks is inherently easier than acting, and I was the deputy in both Farewell My Concubine and Raise the Red Lantern.

But you also made a feature film. Many people at your age have not even made a complete short film. Speaking of this, Gong Li remembered something again, patted her thigh and said, I almost forgot , you haven’t graduated yet.”

Actually, I have graduated. The process of staying in school has been completed. Zhou Yan said with a smile.

Hearing that Zhou Yan had been detained in school, Gong Li said with a smile, I will call you Teacher Zhou from now on...or Director Zhou. If I make another movie in the future, I will also think of my sister.

Sister Li, your salary is not low now, I'm afraid I can't afford it.

Give you a discount.

Gong Li was joking when she said this, but she was really impressed by Zhou Yan. In any case, Zhou Yan is now a director who has won awards at foreign film festivals.

They were in the cafeteria together just now. Many people in the studio greeted Zhou Yan enthusiastically, calling him Director Zhou one after another. Some people called him Director Zhou. It felt like he was on the set of Raise the Red Lantern before. It was completely different.

After dinner, Chen Kaige took them to a meeting.

It was originally a small meeting, but with people shouting and shouting, it turned into a conference. People from all departments participated, and there were more than 30 people in total.

He didn't go to the conference room in front of him, everyone just gathered around the theater.

Chen Kaige probably wanted to hold a small meeting at first, mainly to talk to Gong Li about the progress of the scene and follow-up arrangements, but he called too many people.

Now that everyone was called, it was impossible not to say something, so after talking to Gong Li, he picked a few departments to say something.

Zhou Yan originally thought that today's conference would have nothing to do with him, but after the conference was over, Chen Kaige pulled Zhou Yan aside again and had a real small meeting.

Do you know Li Zongsheng? Chen Kaige asked.

Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows, of course he knew Li Zongsheng.

I know Li Zongsheng, he is quite famous.

At this time, Li Zongsheng is already quite famous, especially in the industry. Several of the albums he produced are very well-known.

Chen Kaige nodded, He wrote a theme song for our movie, but I don't really want to put it in the movie.

Without asking, Zhou Yan knew that the song written by Li Zongsheng for the movie should be When Love Is a Past sung by Lin Yilian, but he didn't expect that Chen Kaige didn't want to put this song in it.

Seeing that Zhou Yan was doubtful, Chen Kaige continued to explain, This song is too popular, and I don't think it fits well with Farewell My Concubine.

In fact, Zhou Yan somewhat agrees with Chen Kaige's idea. The movie Farewell My Concubine is full of drama elements.

In order to give the movie a more contemporary feel, Zhou Yan and Zhao Jiping used opera elements when preparing the soundtrack, and most of the melodies were based on Xipi, Erhuang or Siping tunes.

Of course, in order not to make the audience feel bored, Zhou Yan and Zhao Jiping added Western orchestral instruments to the song.

In addition, after discussion with Zhao Jiping, Zhou Yan and Zhao Jiping used a lot of creative techniques of tonal placement, showing something new based on the old ones.

But no matter what, all the scores he and Zhao Jiping make are based on elements of opera and will not deviate from this framework.

Let's talk about Hou Xiaoxian's Dream Life. Zhou Yan included the tune If Love Has God's Will but did not turn it into a song because turning it into a song would make the sound and picture unbalanced.

When Love Is a Thing of the Past is certainly a good song, but it has basically no bonus points for the movie. If you remove it, Farewell My Concubine will still be Farewell My Concubine, and there will be no artistic impact at all.

Of course, this is only from an artistic point of view, but a movie is not only a piece of art, but also a commodity. It is a commodity and must be sold.

Zhou Yan did not express his position, but said to Chen Kaige, Director Chen, the theme song is not within the scope of work of Teacher Zhao and I. As I said before, you have to find it yourself.

Chen Kaige and the others had said before that they wanted to create a theme song, and they also said at that time that they would find someone else to do it.

In fact, Chen Kaige asked Li Zongsheng to help write the song When Love Is a Past. However, after Li Zongsheng finished writing it, Chen Kaige felt that it was too popular and he didn't want it anymore.

Chen Kaige nodded and said, I know that. I don't want the theme song now, but Mr. Xu doesn't agree. She still wants me to put the song in. I was thinking, can you talk to Mr. Xu about this? After all, you are a music major, so what you say should be more recognized by Mr. Xu.

Zhou Yan twitched his lips, it turned out that Chen Kaige was here to bring reinforcements.

But he didn't want to get involved in this matter. If he didn't do it well, he wouldn't be able to help Chen Kaige get things done, and it would also affect his relationship with Xu Feng. Zhou Yan never liked to participate in this kind of stand-out thing.

And Zhou Yan also feels that Xu Feng's decision is right. Although When Love Is a Thing will not add points to the film artistically, it will definitely increase the value of this product.

Why are pop songs called pop songs? Because the public likes them.

For many people who don't pay attention to movies, the most likely way to understand Farewell My Concubine is through the song When Love Is a Thing of the Past.

If Leslie Cheung hadn't been banned from the song now, the publicity effect would have been better if Leslie Cheung himself had sung a version and put the movie scenes from Farewell My Concubine into the song's music video.

Zhou Yan said with a smile, Director Chen, aren't you kidding me! Who are you? You are the director that Mr. Xu admires the most in the world. She doesn't listen to what you say. Will it work if I say it? And I Writing music is professional, but whether or not to play the theme song mainly depends on your professionalism.”

Chen Kaige is a docile person. Although Zhou Yan rejected him, what Zhou Yan said made him feel comfortable. He said with a smile, I also know that the possibility is unlikely, but I just want to try... Hey, I won't make it difficult for you. I'll talk to her later. Hey, if I had known it, I would have written the theme song for you. Songs written in Taiwan are so popular.

Zhou Yan quickly said, I'm good at writing soundtracks, but I'm really bad at writing songs.

The main reason is that Zhou Yan is afraid that Chen Kaige will talk nonsense, so he just listens to Taiwanese music, and there is no need to involve him.

Don't be modest, didn't you say that Anita Mui wants to sing your songs! Chen Kaige said with a smile.

Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows. Very few people knew about Anita Mui singing his music. Chen Kaige should have found out about it from Xu Feng. It is also possible that Chen Kaige knew about it, so he came to find him alone today.

Just as Chen Kaige was about to say something, the pager in Zhou Yan's pocket beeped. Zhou Yan apologized and said, Director Chen, I have news.

Okay, there's nothing else to do, just get busy. Chen Kaige nodded.

After Chen Kaige left, Zhou Yan took out the pager. On it was Zhang Jianya's name and a series of phone numbers.

What surprised Zhou Yan was that the phone number turned out to be Yanjing's.

Zhang Jianya came to Yanjing?

Zhou Yan ran to the director's office in the main building in front and dialed the number sent by Zhang Jianya.

Soon the call was picked up, Is this Director Zhou?

It sounded like Zhang Jianya was waiting for Zhou Yan's call next to the phone.

Zhou Yan smiled and said, Well, Director Zhang, have you come to Yanjing?

Yes, I arrived yesterday. Zhang Jianya said.

Zhou Yan asked, What's the purpose of coming to Yanjing this time?

There's something going on at Jia Lin's school. I'll come over and take care of it. Zhang Jianya explained, and then asked, Director Zhou, do you have time today? Let's get together tonight?

Zhou Yan knew that Zhang Jianya was not here to see him, otherwise he would not have arrived yesterday and called today. He thought about it and said with a smile, Okay, how about I call Director Chen Kaige and let's have a meal together tonight? meal?

Zhang Jianya smiled and said, I was saying to meet him tomorrow. This is just right. We will meet once and I will make arrangements that night.

Zhou Yan laughed and said, Don't be polite when you come to Yanjing. I'll go tell Director Chen. Just wait for my call.

When Zhang Jianye heard what Zhou Yan said, he stopped being polite and said, Okay, I'll wait for your call.

After talking to Zhang Jianya on the phone, Zhou Yan went to see Chen Kaige again.

When he heard that Zhang Jianya came to Yanjing, Chen Kaige curled his lips and said, Now that he comes to Yanjing, the first person he looks for is not us classmates, but you.

Zhou Yan smiled and said, Because we have a working relationship now.

Chen Kaige nodded. He knew that Zhou Yan had scored Zhang Jianya's new movie, and he was just joking.

It's a pity that Zhuangzhuang is not in Yanjing, otherwise he could be summoned. Well, I'll trouble you to make arrangements. I really can't leave the scene today. If he doesn't leave tomorrow, I will make arrangements.

…

Zhou Yan did not take them to other places, but learned from Xu Feng and directly ordered food from a restaurant near his home and asked them to deliver it to his home.

Chen Kaige had to be late because he had a scene to shoot in the afternoon.

Zhang Jianya also came quite late. It was already half past six when he arrived.

As soon as he saw Zhou Yan, Zhang Jianya apologized profusely, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, something suddenly happened and I was delayed.

Zhou Yan invited Zhang Jianya into the courtyard with a smile, No hurry, it's still early. Director Chen will probably not arrive for a while. Although his play this afternoon is not complicated, he usually leaves after he is busy and relieved.

Zhang Jianya nodded, I know this, Kai Ge is still working hard.

He and Chen Kaige are classmates, so he naturally knows Chen Kaige's habits.

Zhou Yan originally thought that after Zhang Jianya arrived, he would definitely ask him about the soundtrack of Sanmao Joins the Army, but Zhang Jianya kept talking about the house. He seemed to be very interested in the courtyard house where Zhou Yan lived.

After asking about Siheyuan, Zhang Jianya asked about Green Snake, but he never mentioned the soundtrack of San Mao Joins the Army.

When Chen Kaige arrived, it was already half past seven.

Seeing Chen Kaige, Zhang Jianya smiled and said, Kaige, you are late.

Chen Kaige patted his chest, Then I'll punish myself with three drinks!

Zhang Jianya rolled his eyes and said, This is not a punishment, but a reward.

Whether it's punishment or reward, three cups are definitely indispensable.

Zhou Yan smiled, first called the restaurant to ask them to serve the food, and then took out two bottles of Jian Nanchun from the cabinet.

Turning around, before he could speak, Chen Kaige smiled and said, Why did I see that bright red and yellow bottle on the second floor of the cabinet?

Zhou Yan was stunned for a moment before he realized what Chen Kaige was talking about. He turned around with a smile, put down the two bottles of Jian Nanchun, and took out two bottles of Maotai from the second floor of the cabinet.

There was a lot of wine in the cabinet in the living room, all of which belonged to Zhou Yantun. Although he didn't usually drink, when guests came to the house, he had to entertain them, just like today.

Director Chen, you have really sharp eyes, you can see this.

Chen Kaige looked at the Maotai in Zhou Yan's hand and swallowed, his eyes widening.

Zhou Yan was also surprised to see Chen Kaige like this. Zhou Yan had only heard that he liked drinking before, but he didn't expect that he liked it so much.

Before the food was delivered, Chen Kaige had already taken a sip, and then said with a smile, Why do we need so many vegetables for drinking? I'm going to prepare some peanuts, that's enough, don't you think so, Lao Zhang?

Zhang Jianya teased him, You want to eat peanuts, don't you know how to bring some with you?

Don't tell me, I heard from Zhou Yan that we would eat at home. Before I left, I really wanted to go to the cafeteria and ask if there were any side dishes I could bring here. Chen Kaige said with a smile.

It's okay, you can eat some melon seeds with wine. Zhou Yan brought over the melon seeds on the coffee table.

Well, this thing is not bad.

Chen Kaige really started eating melon seeds and drinking wine.

The food didn't keep them waiting for too long and was served quickly.

After the food was served, Chen Kaige also put on a good show. He said before that he punished himself with three drinks. He was really not joking, so he drank three drinks first. However, the cup Zhou Yan prepared today was not big. A full cup of wine only costs four or five yuan. Three cups of wine. A glass of wine adds up to a little over one or two.

Both Zhang Jianya and Chen Kaige are good drinkers, but Zhang Jianya has the same personality as him when it comes to drinking. He is rather boring. If you ask him for a drink, he will drink with you, but he will basically not take the initiative to offer a drink.

Chen Kaige is quite different. Not only does he like to drink, but he also likes to persuade people to drink. Drinking is like fighting, the kind where the winner is determined.

Zhou Yan doesn't like to drink, but his genes are too good and he can cure hangovers very quickly. People with an average amount of alcohol can't really drink him.

In addition, Chen Kaige drinks heavily and thinks he has a good drinking capacity. He drinks more than Zhou Yan, so Zhou Yan just felt a little drunk, while Chen Kaige was already talking a little loudly.

Zhang Jianya was not surprised. He and Chen Kaige had drank countless times.

If Zhang Jianya were asked to use four words to describe Chen Kaige's drinking, it would be nine out of ten times drunk.

To say that nine out of ten people are drunk is a bit conservative. Zhang Jianya has never seen Chen Kaige drink and not get drunk. The difference is only the degree of drunkenness.

Zhang Jianya himself is actually a bit drunk. He has a good drinking capacity, but he is not a good drinker.

I think. Chen Kaige picked up the wine glass at this time, You two should toast me together.

Why? Zhang Jianya asked.

Chen Kaige smiled with blurred eyes, If it weren't for me, would you have been able to find Zhou Yan to score your movie? I'm the matchmaker for you two. Isn't it natural to offer a glass of wine to the matchmaker?

It's okay that he didn't say this, but when he mentioned this, Zhang Jianya became angry, If you hadn't told me before that Director Zhou's salary for scoring the score was high, would I have wasted so much time? I almost missed it.

Chen Kaige laughed, I said that to test you. If you don't have the determination to give, can you easily ask Zhou Yan to score your movie?

Zhou Yan smiled, why did Chen Kaige speak more pleasantly after drinking.

Chen Kaige added, Oh, by the way, how is the filming of your movie going? You should have started working on the soundtrack, right?

Zhang Jianya has been here for such a long time and has never asked about the soundtrack once. Unexpectedly, it was Chen Kaige who mentioned it in the end.

However, when Chen Kaige mentioned this, Zhang Jianya also took advantage of the situation and said, I made an agreement with Director Zhou before that we will discuss the soundtrack after he has time to go to the filming site.

Hearing what Zhang Jianya said, Zhou Yan also understood why he hadn't mentioned the soundtrack before. It turned out that he was remembering what he said at that time.

Zhou Yan smiled and said, Actually, I actually wrote two songs for Sanmao Joins the Army.

Really? Zhang Jianya looked surprised.

Before Zhou Yan could answer, Chen Kaige said with a smile, Look at the fuss you are making. You have never seen Zhou Yan's creative efficiency. Two pieces of music are just a piece of work.

Now I've seen it. Zhang Jianya nodded repeatedly, Director Zhou, can I listen to these two pieces of music?

I haven't recorded it yet, if you want to listen...

Before Zhou Yan finished speaking, Chen Kaige took over the conversation again and said, If you want to hear it, Lao Zhang, you have to give me a toast.

Zhang Jianya nodded and said, This cup must be toasted.

After saying that, Zhang Jianya picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all in one gulp. Zhou Yan watched him drink, so he could only follow suit.

In fact, Zhou Yan originally wanted to say that if Zhang Jianya wanted to listen to the music, he could wait until tomorrow to record a rough sample of the music. However, seeing Zhang Jianya like this, Zhou Yan muttered, I'll play it for you now.

This is a great love affair. Chen Kaige shook his head while holding the wine glass and said, One new song and one drink, one glass after another. Listening to the music and drinking wine, today is really exciting.

It can be seen that Chen Kaige is already drunk. He even composed the poem, and the poem is a skewer.

Hold on.

Zhou Yan smiled, got up, went to the piano room opposite to fetch the violin, and played a piece of Old Thread. When Zhou Yan was reading the script, he thought of this piece. It was cheerful, relaxed, and a little humorous.

Moreover, the melody of this piece is very repetitive and relatively simple. It would be best if placed in the black and white clip at the beginning of the movie.

When the witty violin music started playing, Zhang Jianya's eyes lit up.

This was the feeling he'd always wanted.

Especially the opening sequence of the already filmed movie, if paired with this music, it would be perfect.

Although Chen Kaige didn't know much about the movie, he felt the lightness and humor of the song. He also smiled and helped Zhang Jianya pick up the wine glass and made gestures to persuade Zhang Jianya to drink.

Zhang Jianya pushed the wine glass and pointed at Zhou Yan who was playing, indicating that he should concentrate on listening to the music.

Chen Kaige also pointed at Zhou Yan and then at Zhang Jianya, meaning, Zhou Yan wrote such a nice song for your movie, why don't you have a drink? Is this true?

The two performed a humorous silent film to the humorous song Old Thread.

In the end, Zhang Jianya took the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. At this time, Zhou Yan's music also finished playing.

Zhang Jianya didn't bother to eat. As soon as Zhou Yan finished, he asked, Director Zhou, is this song at the beginning of the movie?

Yes, that's exactly what happened. Zhou Yan nodded with a smile.

Zhang Jianya couldn't help but give a thumbs up, Director Zhou, you are so awesome. This song is the background music I imagined. The rhythm is so good.

Zhou Yan laughed and said, I also made it after reading the script. I still have to look at the rhythm of the shots later to see if I can make some adjustments to make the shots and the music fit better.

Yeah. Zhang Jianya nodded, and then smiled, I don't even feel like I need to adjust. The rhythm is already very good, and it fits the shots I shot very well.

At this time, Chen Kaige asked again, Where's the second song?

Zhou Yan said with a smile, Didn't you say that you can drink a new song with a new song, one drink after another? If you don't drink, how can I do it?

Chen Kaige's wine was easy to persuade. After Zhou Yan finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass with a smile and took another drink with Zhang Jianya.

After they finished drinking, Zhou Yan also smiled and put his bow string on the strings of the piano and started playing the second piece of music.

Zhang Jianya thought that the second song should have the same style as the first song, both witty and humorous. After all, this is the main tone of their movie.

But what Zhang Jianya didn't expect was that as soon as the notes of the second song came out, he felt a passionate feeling, as if two armies were confronting each other.

Is there a reversal later?

After listening for a while, there was no change in the style. It was still passionate and getting more and more passionate.

Zhang Jianya couldn't help but be a little confused.

This song is really nice to listen to, and the blood is really passionate, but the problem is that their movie is not a serious war movie, and the war scenes in it are all just like a joke, with this kind of passionate music I'm afraid that's not good, right?

After more than a minute, Zhou Yan's song ended.

Zhang Jianya looked at Zhou Yan and hesitated to speak.

Zhou Yan smiled and said, Director Zhang, if you have any ideas, just tell me, don't worry.

Chen Kaige said with a smile, This song is so good. My blood is boiling when I listen to it. I wish I could have a few more drinks. What do you think?

Looking at Zhou Yan again, Zhang Jianya stopped being shy and said, Director Zhou, you also know that the main theme of this film is humor. We plan to make the war scenes more absurd. If we use this song...

Zhou Yan knew what he was going to say. Before he could finish speaking, he smiled and said, Director Zhang, do you know where I want to put this piece?

Zhang Jianya was stunned for a moment and asked doubtfully, Isn't it placed in the battle scene?

Yes. Zhou Yan nodded, and then said, But there are also many scenes of war, such as the scene where they put explosive bags on cows to blow up the neon army...

Hearing Zhou Yan talk about this shot, Zhang Jianya felt like someone had patted his Tian Ling Gai, as if an electric current was flowing from head to toe.

It's so right!

Zhang Jianya yelled and couldn't help but slap his thigh, but Chen Kaige next to him shouted out, Old Zhang, why are you slapping my leg?

Because it's not me who's in pain. Zhang Jianya smiled and said to Zhou Yan, Director Zhou, put this piece in the Niu Ben section. Don't be too weird. The contrast will come out immediately.

Chen Kaige was shaken off by Zhang Jianya's shot just now. He rubbed his thighs and asked curiously, What kind of shot made you so excited?

You don't understand- Zhang Jianya waved his hand.

Upon hearing this, Chen Kaige lost his temper. You can say anything to him, but you can't say that he doesn't understand.

Why don't I understand?

Zhang Jianya curled her lips and said, If you say you don't understand, you don't understand. Don't argue. If you want to understand, after my movie is released, buy a movie ticket and go to the cinema to support me.

I'm not going to watch... Chen Kaige tilted his mouth and picked up the wine glass again, Come and have a drink.

Zhang Jianya, who was originally relatively silent, became excited after listening to two pieces of music. He held a wine glass and said, Okay, I'm happy tonight, let's have a good drink.

Chen Kaige had run out of ammunition and food at this time. He was no match for Zhang Jianya and he used his strength later. He was defeated in a short while and fell down on the table.

Seeing Chen Kaige lying on the table, Zhang Jianya drank a few more drinks with Zhou Yan, and then restrained himself from drinking any more. He wanted to send Chen Kaige home.

Zhou Yan sent them to the side of the road. After the taxi arrived, Zhang Jianya patted his head and asked Zhou Yan, Director Zhou, I was busy drinking and forgot to ask, what are the names of these two pieces of music?

Zhou Yan smiled and replied, The first song is called Sanmao and the second song is called Awakening.

Sanmao, wake up... Zhang Jianya nodded, Okay, I remember.

…

After Zhang Jianya and the others got in the car and left, Zhou Yan walked home with his neck scrunched up.

In Yanjing in March, it was very cold at night, and he had just drank wine. The cold wind blew him like this, and he had goosebumps all over his body.

When he was composing the soundtrack for Sanmao Joins the Army, Zhou Yan paid special attention to the section where Sanmao and the others asked Niu to charge. After much deliberation, he decided to add Awakening to this section.

The original name of Awakening should be A Gang's Awakening, which comes from the Neon cartoon Tutor. It is a very passionate song.

In addition to these two pieces of music, Zhou Yan decided to follow the previous scoring ideas and sample a large number of classical music for other parts of the soundtrack.

In addition, there is another section that Zhou Yan is also considering.

The song used in the funeral scene of the teacher is A Hundred Birds Pay Attention to the Phoenix. In most cases, the song A Hundred Birds Pay Attention to the Phoenix is used for red events. This is to take advantage of this contrast. Reflecting the sense of humor, it has the same meaning as Zhou Yan placing Awakening at Niu Ben's place.

During this section, Zhou Yan was considering whether to continue using A Hundred Birds Pay Attendance to the Phoenix or to borrow another piece of music.

Whether you use A Hundred Birds Pay Attention to the Phoenix or borrow another song, the idea will definitely not change. The main theme is still a contrast.

However, both options have their own advantages and disadvantages. The use of old music will impress the audience and have established symbols.

What is an established symbol? Once the audience hears this piece of music, they don’t need to have any music appreciation ability. Anyway, they often hear this piece of music at happy events, so even if they don’t know what the piece of music is called, they can still associate it with joy. Celebrating scene.

But the old songs lack freshness and are less attractive to the audience.

New music has a sense of freshness, but if it is not done well and the audience cannot understand the emotions, it will easily break.

However, this matter is not urgent at the moment, and we can wait until the follow-up movie is almost finished.

After returning home, Zhou Yan called the restaurant again and asked them to come over and clear away the dishes. After all the dishes were cleared, Zhou Yan also went to bed.

Early the next morning, while Zhou Yan was still sleeping, he heard someone knocking on the door outside.

He yawned and walked out of the house wrapped in quilt, and asked, Who is it?

Director Zhou, it's me. Zhang Jianya's voice came from outside the door.

Zhou Yan scratched his head and said, Director Zhang, are you here so early?

I brought you breakfast. Zhang Jianya smiled.

I want to sleep more... Zhou Yan muttered secretly, and then went to open the door for Zhang Jianya.

After entering the door, Zhang Jianya handed the packed breakfast to Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan originally thought it was something like steamed buns and fried dough sticks, but when he held it in his hand, it felt heavy.

When he opened it, he was dumbfounded. Zhang Jianya actually brought him a piece of fried liver.

Zhou Yan couldn't help but rub his eyebrows. Who is a good person who eats fried liver in the morning...

After coming to Yanjing, the two breakfasts that Zhou Yan couldn't accept the most were bean juice and fried liver.

In fact, the fried liver doesn't taste bad, but Zhou Yan feels that it really shouldn't be eaten in the morning.

The actual name of fried liver has little to do with it. Many people think that fried liver is fried pork liver. In fact, it is neither fried nor pork liver, but a paste made from pig intestines and starch. You can also make it It is understood as a kind of Hu spicy soup whose main ingredient is large intestine.

In Yanjing, many people eat this thing in the morning without using chopsticks, holding the bowl and sucking it along the rim of the bowl.

That's what it's called authentic!

Zhang Jianya saw Zhou Yan in a daze and said with a smile, Director Zhou, you eat it while it's hot. The fried liver won't taste good when it's cold.

…

Zhou Yan finally ate the fried liver. In fact, it tasted good. He couldn't pass the psychological test. He always felt that eating pig intestines in the morning was a bit inappropriate.

After eating, Zhang Jianya asked him with a smile, Director Zhou, can you record the two songs from last night? I want to take them back and put them together with the captured clips. If there is a problem with the rhythm, we can Adjustments can be made at any time.”

This request was very reasonable. Zhou Yan nodded, went to the piano room to take out the violin, and recorded a rough demo for Zhang Jianya on the spot.

After the music was recorded, Zhou Yan handed the tape into Zhang Jianya's hands, This is just a rough sample of the solo. After the filming of the movie is completed, I will find the orchestra to record a formal version for you to listen to. After listening to the official version, we will Finalized.”

Zhang Jianya smiled and said, Director Zhou, you are very thoughtful. Will you go to Suzhou City in the next few days?

It's hard to say whether I'm going to Su City or not, but I'm definitely going to Shanghai. Zhou Yan said.

You can go to Shanghai, the films are all in the factory. Zhang Jianya nodded.

Although their film was shot in Suzhou City, the tapes that were shot every day were sent back to Shanghai to be washed, cut and blown. When Zhou Yan went to Shanghai, he could see the films they had shot before.

Zhang Jianya doesn't think it matters whether he goes to the filming site or not, because there is actually nothing interesting to see at the filming site.

How long will you stay in Yanjing? Zhou Yan asked.

I'm leaving this afternoon. The studio can't take a long break.

Zhou Yan nodded. If it weren't for something, no director would want to delay the filming progress.

When Zhou Yan was filming The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly, if it weren't for the staff's condition problems in the middle, Zhou Yan wouldn't want to stop at all. He wanted to wake up and start filming right before going to bed.

He is a director and young, so he can handle it, but for many staff members, filming is just an ordinary job. It may be a bit fresh at the beginning, but over time, there will be no passion at all.

Zhou Yan smiled and said, Then I won't keep you. See you later when I go to Shanghai or Sushi.

I don't dare to keep it anymore. I drank too much last night. Zhang Jianya waved his hand, and then carefully put the tape Zhou Yan gave him into his bag, Okay, let's go.

After Zhang Jianya left, Zhou Yan was about to go out when he suddenly received a call from Chen Kaige.

Knowing that Zhang Jianya was leaving, Chen Kaige scolded Zhang Jianya, saying that Zhang Jianya would not give him a chance.

It can be heard that Chen Kaige wants to have a drink tonight.

Zhou Yan originally thought that Chen Kaige would wake up late after drinking to that extent last night and having a hangover. Unexpectedly, he got up early in the morning and sounded quite energetic. It seemed that Chen Kaige was used to it.

Thanks to [Will Shine Tomorrow] for the 500 reward

Total: 8666

This is three in one. Several people suggested posting the two updates together, so I followed suit.

Multi-Threading and Awakening are already easter eggs at the end of the previous chapter.
