1990: Starting from Baojia Street

The next morning, Zhou Yan was awakened by a knock on the door.

He got up sleepily, Who is it?

Director Zhou, it's me.

Zhang Jianya's voice came from outside the house.

Zhou Yan first picked up the watch on the bedside table and squinted at it. It was just early eight o'clock.

Then he got out of bed and opened the door, only to see Zhang Jianya and Cui Jie standing at the door.

After inviting the two people into the room, Zhou Yan asked, Director Zhang, why are you here now?

Zhang Jianya smiled and said, I originally planned to leave in the afternoon, but the studio called me and had something to deal with, so I came over to tell you. I have already told Xiao Liu that if you want to watch the movie , just look for her.

In fact, Zhang Jianya could send a message to Zhou Yan's pager for this matter without coming over in person, but to show respect, he still asked Xiao Cui to drive over.

You guys are going to Su City. Zhou Yan rubbed his head and said, If you wait for me for a while, I will go with you.

Hearing that Zhou Yan was also going to the set, Zhang Jianya looked surprised, Director Zhou, are you going too?

When eating yesterday, Zhou Yan mentioned that he was going to Taiwan. Zhang Jianya thought that Zhou Yan would not go to the studio again.

In fact, Zhou Yan didn't plan to go to Su City at first, so he planned to watch movies at the Shanghai Factory.

But when watching the movie yesterday, Zhou Yan became very interested in Zhang Jianya's filming on the scene. He especially wanted to go to the scene to learn how Zhang Jianya shot, so when he heard that Zhang Jianya was going to the set, he proposed to go with him.

Well, can your car fit in? Zhou Yan asked.

Yes, Xiao Cui and I are the only two people in the car. It's very spacious. Zhang Jianya said with a smile.

Zhou Yan nodded and pointed to the two chairs in the room, Then you guys sit down first and I'll go wash up. It'll only take ten minutes.

After saying that, Zhou Yan didn't waste any time and went directly to the bathroom to wash up.

When Zhou Yan entered the bathroom, Zhang Jianya took Cui Jie and sat down on the chair.

After sitting down, Zhang Jianya was attracted by a stack of music scores on the table. The music scores were not stacked neatly, and the pen was next to it.

Zhang Jianya raised his eyebrows and looked at the status. Are these scores newly written?

They had been knocking on the door for a long time, and Zhou Yan only answered the door when he was inside. After opening the door, he didn't seem to be in a good state, as if he had stayed up late.

At first, Zhang Jianya thought it was because Zhou Yan drank a lot last night and came back to cause trouble.

Although the alcohol content of the rice wine is not high, it has a lot of stamina, and it will make you dizzy when the wind blows.

But after he came in, there was no smell of alcohol in the room.

Zhang Jianya looked at the score on the first page... This should be a draft. It was scrawled on it, with many notes and revisions. The handwriting was relatively new. Even if it wasn't written last night, it should have been written not long ago.

Looking at so many scores, Zhang Jianya was also wondering, if these scores were all written last night, could they be so fast?

Zhang Jianya doesn't know much about music and can't read music scores, but he still has a certain understanding of the speed of composing music.

They have worked with many composers in their factory, and Zhang Jianya has also worked with some composers. He has seen people who write fast, but this is the first time he has seen someone as fast as Zhou Yan.

Of course, these songs may not all have been written last night.

What Zhang Jianya is most concerned about now is not whether these songs were written last night, but whether these songs have anything to do with Sanmao Joins the Army.

Over there, Zhou Yan finished washing up in five minutes, and then spent another five minutes packing his luggage.

Finally, when Zhou Yan was collecting the scores, Zhang Jianya finally couldn't help but ask, Director Zhou, are there any songs from Sanmao Joins the Army in this?

Zhou Yan smiled and said, I am still working on other songs for San Mao Joins the Army, which is another project.

Zhang Jianya was slightly disappointed, but still smiled and said, Director Zhou has a new project, congratulations, congratulations.

Zhou Yan smiled and said nothing more. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms project has not yet been written, so it is not suitable to talk to people now.

After that, the three of them drove to Sioux City.

Although Su City is very close to Shanghai, it took them nearly three hours to drive.

It was already noon when they arrived at the place. The three of them went to have a meal first before going to the set.

As soon as he got off the bus, Zhou Yan saw Wei Zongwan, who played the veteran Youzi, standing outside the bungalow smoking.

Seeing Zhang Jianya, Wei Zongwan also walked over with a smile, Director Zhang, it's been a hard journey.

You're welcome, Teacher Wei, it's your hard work. Zhang Jianya smiled and introduced Zhou Yan to Wei Zongwan, Mr. Wei, this is the soundtrack for our play, directed by Zhou Yanzhou.

Wei Zongwan had long known that the soundtrack director of San Mao Joins the Army was a young man, and had already listened to the two songs Awakening and San Mao, so he was not particularly surprised to see Zhou Yan. He smiled Say hello to Zhou Yan, Hello Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan smiled and replied, Teacher Wei, I have long admired your name.

What a famous name. Wei Zongwan smiled and waved his hand, I'm old, so it would be great if someone is willing to film with me. Director Zhang, let's talk about the afternoon's scene?

Zhang Jianya nodded, Okay.

Then several people entered the bungalow, and Cui Jie went to call Jia Lin, who played San Mao, and Zhang Jianya began to tell them about the afternoon's play.

What I was going to shoot this afternoon were a few scenes that I hadn't shot in the previous two days. I originally planned to wait until tomorrow to reshoot them, but considering Wei Zongwan's time, Zhang Jianya put all the reshoots into this afternoon.

Fortunately, these reshoots are not particularly complicated, and temporary shooting is no problem.

They didn't rest at noon. After Zhang Jianya finished talking about the scene with Wei Zongwan, he started to take people to set up the scene. At three o'clock in the afternoon, the filming officially started.

After filming for more than an hour, during a break, Wei Zongwan walked to Zhou Yan and sat down next to Zhou Yan in disgrace.

Seeing the dirt on Wei Zongwan's face, Zhou Yan couldn't help but sigh. No wonder Wei Zongwan was unwilling to participate in Sanmao Joins the Army before. Although this movie is not a serious war movie, it is related to war. There are no shortage of scenes at all.

There are many scenes in trenches, and Wei Zongwan is directly half-buried in the soil.

Zhou Yan handed Wei Zongwan a cigarette, and the latter took the cigarette, said Thank you, and then lit the cigarette.

At this time, Zhang Jianya also brought a water cup and handed it to Wei Zongwan, Teacher Wei, thank you for your hard work.

Wei Zongwan waved his hand, Filming, it's not hard work. Speaking of hard work, isn't it even harder for you, Jian Ya? You guys came all the way from Shanghai and started filming without a break. If it weren't for taking care of my time, , you don’t have to work so hard.”

It's all mutual. Zhang Jianya smiled and asked, The crew of Three Kingdoms is already urging me?

I'm starting to push, but I'm not pushing too hard. You can just shoot at the current normal schedule, and there's no need to rush. ​​Wei Zongwan said.

Hearing them mention Three Kingdoms, Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows. It seemed that Sima Yi in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms was looking for Wei Zongwan this time. It should be that Sima Yi's scene was about to be filmed, so the Three Kingdoms side began to urge Wei Zongwan to come over.

Zhou Yan smiled and asked, Teacher Wei, where was Three Kingdoms filmed?

There are many filming locations, and my scenes are mainly in Xicheng and Zhuo City. Wei Zongwan said.

Xicheng is not far.

Well, if it's all shot in Xicheng, it doesn't matter when it ends here. I can just run in both directions.

Xicheng is dozens of kilometers away from Suzhou City. It can be reached by car in an hour. It is completely possible to drive to both ends.

Wei Zongwan didn't know much about the Three Kingdoms crew, and couldn't get much information from him. Zhou Yan chatted with him for a few words, and filming started again.

…

Zhou Yan only stayed on the set of Sanmao Joins the Army for two days, but he experienced a big night.

The so-called big night means shooting all night.

However, even though it was late at night, the filming was not too painful because the scene we were filming was the Shanghai Celebrities' Labor Benefit Performance.

Zhou Yan also made a guest appearance as a big-headed soldier, right next to Sanmao and the others.

Their mission is very simple, that is to cheer and cheer without having to act, because the live performance is really beautiful.

The ladies were all beautiful, and they all wore shorts, tube tops, exposed belly and thighs, and fishnet stockings, and danced various provocative dances on the stage.

Not to mention Zhang Jianya, the people who played the big-headed soldier took the initiative to applaud the performance.

However, after the ladies went down and the celebrities came up to sing, the atmosphere was completely different. Everyone applauded and applauded, but obviously, their applause was not as genuine as watching the beauties dancing with their legs exposed.

The most tiring people in this scene were probably the dancing girls. They rehearsed it seven or eight times.

This play cannot be rehearsed during the day because the lighting is not suitable. We must wait until the light dims at night before rehearsing can begin.

Night scenes are inherently difficult to shoot because the lighting is very difficult. The first few rehearsals were all about adjusting the lighting on the stage.

By the time the scene was finished, it was already dark.

After breakfast, Zhou Yan did not go to rest, but ran to say goodbye to Zhang Jianya. The film delivery guy was going back to Shanghai, and he happened to follow him, so as not to have to find other cars later.

When he heard that Zhou Yan was leaving, Zhang Jianya didn't try to stay. He knew that Zhou Yan was very busy during this period, and it was already very difficult to come to the set for two days.

On the way to send Zhou Yan to the car, Zhang Jianya smiled and said, Thank you for staying up all night with us. Let Xiao Shen drive more slowly on the way and you can sleep more.

It's better to hurry up. I'll go to Shanghai to rest. Zhou Yan smiled and said sincerely, I've learned a lot here in the past two days.

When shooting comedies, many people pay too much attention to language and storyline, and like to use jokes to entertain the audience, but ignore the lens language itself.

Zhang Jianya is obviously a master at using camera language to express humor. His shots do not require language or a coherent story to make the audience laugh.

There are many small details that Zhou Yan couldn't notice when watching movies before, but when he participated in the filming on the spot, he could understand them.

For example, in last night's scene, when the celebrities came out to dance, there was nothing on the lake, but when the celebrity tickets came out, misty dry ice appeared.

It’s not a lot of dry ice, just a little bit, but it made a huge difference in these two stages.

Many viewers may not notice this change when watching the movie, but this is the director's thinking.

Every shot, every prop and every person that appears in it does not appear randomly, but is carefully arranged by the director.

Some people may say that since the general audience can't notice it, then the arrangement is of little use.

But it’s these details that make a great movie. When you watch a movie and find something you haven't noticed before every time you watch it, that means the movie is successful.

Furthermore, when ordinary viewers watch a movie, although they cannot obviously detect this change in details, they can still vaguely perceive it.

Some shots cannot be said to be good, but they are different.

Zhang Jianya also noticed that Zhou Yan paid great attention to the filming during the two days he came here. He even felt that Zhou Yan was here to steal his teacher.

Of course, even if Zhou Yan comes to steal his skills, Zhang Jianya is very welcoming. In this industry, everyone learns from each other. When he usually chats with Zhou Yan, he will also ask Zhou Yan some knowledge related to music scores.

Zhou Yan's professionalism is indeed very strong. Every time he talks about certain points, Zhang Jianya is enlightened.

Zhang Jianya does not want to score his own music, but he believes that as a director, he should at least have some understanding and grasp of the music.

Apart from anything else, each composer has his own style. What kind of film is suitable for which composer? The director needs to understand this in order to find a more suitable composer.

However, after getting in touch with Zhou Yan more, Zhang Jianya discovered that the idea of ​​what kind of movie is suitable for what kind of composer does not really apply to Zhou Yan, because Zhou Yan seems to be able to play any type of soundtrack.

…

When Zhou Yan arrived at Bei City, it was already the afternoon two days later.

Meeting Zhou Yan in the hotel, Hou Xiaoxian gave Zhou Yan a bear hug.

He is not tall and his arms are not long, so it is a bit difficult to pick up Zhou Yanlai.

I haven't seen you for a while. You've become a lot stronger. Hou Xiaoxian said with a smile.

I've been exercising recently.

In order to get the role of Fahai, Zhou Yan did very strict body management. Although he did not become a muscular tyrant, he was indeed much stronger than before.

Now that he has changed his role as Xu Xian, Zhou Yan's body management plan is still not over. He will still strictly control his diet and do moderate exercise every day.

Seeing Zhou Yan's tired look, Hou Xiaoxian smiled again and said, You should take a rest quickly and I'll introduce you to my pretty girl tonight.

...

If Zhou Yan didn't know Hou Xiaoxian well enough, he would have doubted whether this guy had any other profession, so why was he so obsessed with introducing the beauty?

Besides us, is there anyone else tonight? Zhou Yan asked.

Of course, besides us, there are also girls.

Aside from the crush?

In addition to Mei Mei, there is also Chen Songyong.

Zhou Yan nodded and asked, Who are the beauties?

Hou Xiaoxian said with a smile, It seems that you still pay attention to Meimei, but I have to let you go, and you will know when I get there.

In the evening, Zhou Yan and Hou Xiaoxian went to the hotel.

Several people in the box were chatting. As soon as Hou Xiaoxian and Zhou Yan entered, these people stood up.

Zhou Yan quickly looked around the box and was a little disappointed.

There were only four people in the box, three women and one man.

The man is Chen Songyong. He previously played the eldest brother Lin Wenxiong in City of Sadness directed by Hou Xiaoxian. He also won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor for this role.

But his most well-known role to the audience is the Thunder Tiger in Fang Shiyu.

His classic line Idhu is still used frequently decades later.

Zhou Yan also knew the other three girls. They were all well-known local female singers in Taiwan, Yang Lin, Cai Qiufeng and Yi Nengjing.

They all have collaborated with Hou Xiaoxian, but the first two have already collaborated, and Yi Nengjing should be the one to collaborate in the future.

These three girls are not unattractive, but they are not Zhou Yan's cup of tea.

In fact, Zhou Yan was not here for a blind date or a beauty pageant, so whether the girl was pretty or not had nothing to do with him. The key was that Hou Xiaoxian had to mention this topic every time he called before, which gradually whetted his appetite. .

However, the beauties in Taiwan's film and television industry are not as good as those in Xiangjiang. People like Lin Qingxia and Wang Zuxian are basically hanging around in Xiangjiang. Recently, the more famous beauty in Taiwan should be Xiao Qiang.

Although he was a little disappointed, Zhou Yan still kept his smile and greeted everyone present.

Yang Lin and the others were also curious about Zhou Yan.

When Hou Xiaoxian was planning this dinner, he only told them that a very talented young boy from the mainland was coming, but he did not tell them in detail.

They didn't know much about Zhou Yan's deeds either.

Zhou Yan is quite good-looking, especially his eyes. Cai Qiufeng feels that Zhou Yan's eyes are somewhat similar to those of Tony Leung, whom he has worked with before, but Zhou Yan feels less melancholy, more sunny, and taller.

The girls are quite talkative and cheerful. Chatting with them gave Zhou Yan the feeling of being on a variety show here in Taiwan, and people kept making jokes.

There are many popular memes nowadays, but in the eyes of someone like Zhou Yan, they are all outdated and bad memes.

However, there were a few girls at the dinner table who kept adjusting the atmosphere, so the meal was quite good.

After the dinner, on the way back to the hotel, Hou Xiaoxian asked Zhou Yan if there was anyone he liked, and if so, he could help introduce him.

And it can be heard that Hou Xiaoxian is very optimistic about Yi Nengjing and seems to want to bring him and Yi Nengjing together.

Hearing what Hou Xiaoxian meant, Zhou Yan waved his hands repeatedly: I have no idea of ​​​​a sexual partner for the time being.

Hou Xiaoxian actually saw that Zhou Yan was not interested in the three girls, so he said nothing more.

Although he always told Zhou Yan about introducing Mei Mei, he mainly just joked about it, and today he fulfilled his promise.

Back at the hotel, Hou Xiaoxian sat in Zhou Yan's room for a while, then stood up and left.

Not long after Hou Xiaoxian left, Zhang Youan knocked on Zhou Yan's door again.

Zhang Youan actually arrived in Taiwan two days ago and has been moving around Bei City. Hou Xiaoxian originally called him for dinner tonight, but he had something to do with CTV, so he didn't come over.

After meeting with Zhou Yan and briefly talking about the activities of the past few days, Zhang Youan also left.

…

On the afternoon of the next day, Zhang Youan took Zhou Yan to China Television Station.

Today they have an interview show called Movie Date to be recorded on China Television. This is a new program that China Television just released last year. It is a serious interview show. It is not long and there is nothing too entertaining. .

They went downstairs to CTV, and Hong Xiaofeng, the director of the column team, came to pick them up in person.

Hong Xiaofeng is not very old, only in his early thirties, so he can be considered a very young director. Movie Date is also the first program he independently produced.

He was tall and thin, and stood out among the crowd.

Seeing Zhou Yan, Hong Xiaofeng was very polite and said, Hello, Director Zhou, I have long admired your name. It is really an honor for our program team to invite you this time.

This is purely commercial flattery. Zhou Yan still has some connections and fame in the mainland, but in Taiwan, he is basically no different from an amateur who has never debuted.

Zhou Yan shook hands with Hong Xiaofeng and said with a smile, Today's program is up to you. Movie Date is the first program that The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly participated in in Taiwan. For us, Movie Appointment has extraordinary significance, and I also hope that I can use this program to lay a good foundation for the promotion of The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly in Taiwan.

Hong Xiaofeng was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Zhou Yan was so young, but he always talked in one way.

Later, Hong Xiaofeng asked Hou Xiaoxian again, Isn't Director Hou here yet?

The reason why Movie Date wants to interview The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly is mainly because the producer of this film is Hou Xiaoxian. Although they are a new show, their ratings and reputation are good. They are also relatively well-known.

Director Hou will come over by himself later, Zhang Youan said.

Hong Xiaofeng nodded and led Zhou Yan and the others towards the elevator.

Then let's go up first.

After entering the elevator and passing the floor, just as the elevator door began to close, Zhou Yan and the others suddenly heard a shout.

Brother Hong, wait for me.

At this time, the elevator door was halfway closed. Through the remaining gap, Zhou Yan saw a short-haired girl wearing blue denim overalls running towards this side in a hurry.

Hong Xiaofeng obviously knew the girl and helped press the door button, but at this time the elevator did not respond at all and slowly closed.

Just when the elevator was about to close, the girl had already rushed forward, and she and Zhou Yan looked at each other through a door.

The girl reached out and grabbed the void, No...

Seeing that the elevator door could not be opened, Hong Xiaofeng could only say to the girl outside, Niuniu, you can get in on the next trip.

Then Hong Xiaofeng smiled and said to Zhou Yan, Little girl, you are so reckless.

Zhou Yan nodded and said nothing.

But the face of the girl just now was still in his mind.

He also recognized this Niuniu, it was Jia Jingwen who had played Zhao Min.

At this time, Jia Jingwen should not be very old, definitely no more than twenty years old. She looks like she has just grown up, and she looks like a full of vitality and vitality girl.

Soon the elevator stopped on the fourth floor. Hong Xiaofeng walked out of the elevator first and said with a smile, Let's go to the dressing room first. We will put makeup on Director Zhou and read the script at the same time.

Zhou Yan also came back to his senses at this time, smiled and nodded, Okay.

After that, they went to the dressing room.

Zhou Yan originally didn't want to put on makeup. He thought that he would do more behind-the-scenes work in the future, and even if he was an actor, he would definitely follow the route of strength and not rely on his appearance. However, Zhang Youan insisted that he must put on makeup, even if Even if you wear light makeup, you must wear it.

The makeup artist followed Zhang Youan's request and put no makeup on Zhou Yan.

This makeup looks the same as before, but it makes my face look a little brighter.

When normal people go on camera without makeup, no matter how good-looking they are, the light on their face is relatively dark. Makeup is actually to add light to the face.

Earlier, in the silent film era, the filming technology was not very good. In order to let the audience see their faces, actors would put on very exaggerated makeup. Basically, they would put a layer of white ash on their faces, which was no different from painting a wall.

After he put on makeup, Hou Xiaoxian also came, and Hong Xiaofeng began to review the script with them.

The issues were all decided in advance and communicated before. This time we mainly talked in person to see if there were any changes.

Through these set questions, Zhou Yan knew that Movie Date is still a serious talk show, and the questions asked are basically relatively conventional and basically do not involve personal life.

When the program was being recorded, Hong Xiaofeng came over and patiently communicated with Zhou Yan about the details that needed to be paid attention to during the recording process.

Zhou Yan has participated in interviews with Yanjing TV before, but Yanjing TV only had two cameras at that time, while Movie Date has four cameras, so the recording process of the program was very different from that of Yanjing TV.

And there is one biggest difference. In the previous interview program that Zhou Yan participated in on Yanjing TV, there were only staff with them in the studio, but there were many viewers in the studio of Movie Date program.

From this point of view, we can see that the way of programming in Taiwan is very different from that in the Mainland. There is an audience on site, which is more interactive and naturally more entertaining.

But after all, it's just a talk show, and Zhou Yan and the others don't need to do much. The main thing is to chat with the host.

The host is a lesbian in her thirties, and her style looks like that of a female anchor who broadcasts the evening news.

After the recording started, the host recorded an opening.

Good evening to all the viewers in front of the TV. The weekly Movie Date is back with you.

Although the recording time was in the afternoon, the subsequent broadcast was in the evening, so the recording was also said to be in the evening.

After entering the 1990s, it seems that the issue of children's education has caused more and more parents to feel headache... The movie that just won the international award recently...

The entry point of this program into The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly is family education. Although this point is not that good, it is still relevant.

After the introduction was finished, the host smiled and said, Today we are also fortunate to have Mr. Hou Xiaoxian, the producer of the movie The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly, and Mr. Zhou Yan, the director.

The audience at the scene applauded very cooperatively and welcomed Zhou Yan and Hou Xiaoxian.

Hou Xiaoxian and Zhou Yan then waved to the camera and said hello, and then said hello to the audience.

Hello everyone, my name is Hou Xiaoxian.

Hello everyone, my name is Zhou Yan.

After the introduction, the host said with a smile, Taiwanese audiences should be familiar with Mr. Hou Xiaoxian. Mr. Hou is a native of Taiwan. He has previously shot a series of films such as Sad City and Green by the River. They are all well-known masterpieces, and City of Sadness even won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice International Film Festival.

Then the host talked about Zhou Yan, Director Zhou Yan is a mainlander and it is his first time coming to Taiwan. Although The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly is his first feature film, before that, his debut film The short film Antfly won the first prize at the Kurta International Film Festival, and he also participated in the production of Raise the Red Lantern and Farewell My Concubine.

The host's introduction was a trick. He only said that Zhou Yan had participated in the production of Raise the Red Lantern and Farewell My Concubine, but did not say that he was involved in the soundtrack.

Audiences who don't know the situation will definitely think that Zhou Yan participated in these two movies as an assistant director or something like that.

After briefly introducing the two of them, the host asked the first question, I think the audience must want to know how the two of you met. Can you tell us something?

Hou Xiaoxian picked up the microphone and said with a smile, Let me answer this question. The host also mentioned just now that Zhou Yan participated in the production of Raise the Red Lantern and I was one of the producers of that film. So obviously, we met on the set of Raise the Red Lantern. I remember that time I took a car to the set. Because I was prone to motion sickness, I felt uncomfortable along the way. Just when we were about to arrive at the Qiao family compound, Suddenly I heard a melodious flute sound...

After recounting how the two met for the first time, Hou Xiaoxian finally said with a smile, It's also a very fateful thing. That piece of music was the first time Zhou Yan played outside, and I happened to bump into him. So I am very honored to name this song.”

The host made a surprised expression, Wow, this is a scene that can only be found in TV dramas.

Of course her expression was staged. She knew how Zhou Yan and Hou Xiaoxian knew each other before.

But the surprised expressions of other audience members were not fake. They originally thought that Zhou Yan was a director, but they didn't expect that Zhou Yan could also compose music and play the flute.

What's the name of that song? the host asked.

Ode to Lotus. Hou Xiaoxian smiled, It was also used in the movie later, when Chen Feipu played the flute.

Can Director Zhou give us a live demonstration of the song Ode to the Lotus?

This link was arranged, and Hong Xiaofeng had already communicated with Zhou Yan before.

Zhou Yan nodded with a smile and asked, Do you have a flute?

Of course he knew that there was a flute on the scene, but according to the script, he had to ask this question so that the audience could feel that this section was not planned in advance.

Soon, the flute was sent over.

The material of this flute is ordinary. It is just a new flute. When it was delivered, the film had already been affixed.

Zhou Yan picked up the flute and started playing Ode to the Lotus. After he finished, he was naturally applauded by the whole house.

Although there were not many people who knew music at the scene, the music was good, and Zhou Yan was good-looking, which also added points to the music.

After Zhou Yan finished playing the flute, the host kept praising him and then brought the topic to The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly.

Director Zhou, as far as I know, the movie The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly is also very related to music. There are many scenes of piano playing in it...

Immediately afterwards, the host introduced some of Zhou Yan's original songs from the movie.

After that, they got another piano, and Zhou Yan played the two songs Secret Joy and Reunion live.

As for the reason why Croatian Rhapsody was not performed, on the one hand it was because of the limited interview time, and on the other hand it was also to leave a suspense for the audience to watch the movie.

Director Hong Xiaofeng, who was sitting behind the camera, kept nodding when he saw the audience's reaction after Zhou Yan finished playing the music.

It is indeed useful to design these two sessions to showcase talents. No matter how glamorous the host introduced it before, it was not as good as Zhou Yan's performance of these songs. After listening to the music, the young people at the scene were more excited than the other.

Especially some little girls, looking at Zhou Yan, their eyes started to sparkle.

It's not surprising that they are like this. Hong Xiaofeng feels that if he were a young girl, he would definitely be fascinated by Zhou Yan. Let's not talk about the movie, it is rare to grow up to be a director like Zhou Yan.

Hou Xiaoxian and Zhou Yan sat together. At first glance, they didn't look like producers and directors, but more like directors bringing actors to participate in a show.

Behind Hong Xiaofeng was the audience. When Zhou Yan finished playing the piano and the staff pushed the piano down, the little girls behind him kept chattering.

This Zhou Yan is so good-looking. He's prettier than any other actor.

He just looked in my direction.

Zhou Yan's eyes are so beautiful.

His fingers are so long and thin, they look like the hands of a pianist.

Those two pieces of music just now were really nice.

…

Listening to the words of the female audience members in the back row, Hong Xiaofeng also sighed, what kind of director is Zhou Yan? He might as well be an actor. With his face, plus composing music, playing the flute and playing the piano, he can easily create a talented person. set up.

After Zhou Yan's talent show was used to impress the audience, the host began to ask some questions related to the movie.

After more than an hour, the recording of the program finally ended.

The host came over very politely and bowed down to thank Zhou Yan and the others.

Thank you, two directors.

Hou Xiaoxian smiled and said, It's not hard, and I didn't say much.

Zhou Yan also smiled and said, It's not hard for me. It's quite relaxing to play the piano and chat.

Director Zhou plays the piano very well. When the movie is released, I will definitely take my family to watch it.

Thank you very much for your support.

At this time, director Hong Xiaofeng came over and said, You two, it's over here, let's go to the lounge.

Hou Xiaoxian looked at the time and said with a smile, I won't go to the lounge. I have something else to do today. Zhou Yan, why don't you take a rest here.

Zhou Yan smiled and shook his head, I won't be here to delay Director Hong and his colleagues' work.

After hearing what Zhou Yan and the others said, Hong Xiaofeng didn't stay any longer. After all, now that the recording of the program was over, he still had to focus on the post-production, and he really didn't have time to accompany them.

If something happens later, I'll treat you to dinner. Hong Xiaofeng said politely.

No problem, we'll make an appointment later.

When going downstairs, Zhou Yan kept looking around.

Hong Xiaofeng and the others didn't think much about it, they just thought it was Zhou Yan's first time coming to CTV, so he was just curious.
