1990: Starting from Baojia Street

Hearing what Principal Liu said, Zhou Yan knew that applying for the concert hall should not be too difficult. He smiled and said, My original intention of starting this orchestra is to give students more opportunities to perform on stage.

Liu Lin nodded and asked, What is the name of your band?

Piano boy. Zhou Yan replied.

Logically speaking, since there are many types of instruments in their band, the name should not be called Piano Boy, but the name was indeed decided through a show of hands by all band members.

In order to come up with a name, they held a meeting and drafted more than a dozen names. In the end, Piano Boy was selected with a high vote. The reason why everyone voted for this name was because of the movie The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly and the music album Piano Boy. juvenile.

Regardless of the movie or the music album, they are both the debut works of Boss Zhou Yan, which is very memorable. Moreover, the relationship between movies and music is also very important, and it will be considered as an allusion in the future.

Piano Boy... Liu Lin pondered for a moment and then said, Do you have any idea to add the name of our school before the name Piano Boy?

Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows. No wonder Shi Wanchun asked him to come directly to Principal Liu. It seemed that Shi Wanchun might know about this.

This matter was definitely not something Liu Lin came up with on the spur of the moment. Leaders like Liu Lin and others must have talked about their orchestra in normal times. They may have mentioned this before, but today Zhou Yan came and just brought it up.

If the Central Conservatory of Music can be added in front of the orchestra, it will definitely be beneficial to their orchestra, which means that the Central Conservatory of Music has endorsed them.

But at the same time, we also face a question, that is, after adding a name, will the school have more control over the orchestra?

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yan said, Of course we would be happy if the school's name could be added, but our organization is still relatively loose...

Halfway through Zhou Yan's words, Liu Lin knew what he wanted to say.

It's just a name. The school will not interfere with the management of the orchestra. Of course, the school cannot give you much help. For example... there is no need to beat around the bush between us. The school will not cover the daily expenses of your orchestra. Even if they pay a penny, they won’t be given too many preferential policies.”

Zhou Yan also understood what Liu Lin meant. The school could give the band credits, but not much in real terms. Zhou Yan still had to pay for the running of the band.

Zhou Yan was quite satisfied with this plan, and he never thought about asking the school to subsidize them.

If that's the case, I'm naturally willing. Is there any process required for this?

Liu Lin smiled and said, Of course you have to go through the process, and the school will issue you a certificate or something like that when you return.

What about the application for the concert hall?

After you add your name, you don't need to apply separately. You can use it for ten hours each week. However, you need to communicate with the practice center in advance to use the concert hall. We will arrange it for you when there is time.

Zhou Yan calculated it in his mind. Ten hours a week, an average of 1.4 hours a day, which sounds relatively compact. However, they will not go to the concert hall to practice every day. If they go there every other day, it will be close to three hours a day. Still That’s it.

However, Zhou Yan still fought for it, Principal, ten hours is a bit short. We have a heavy rehearsal task...

Before he finished speaking, Liu Lin interrupted him with a smile and waved his hand, Ten hours is already a special treatment. If you want to use more time, it's not impossible. After your band's performance gets better, Of course I can lift it up for you.

After hearing what Liu Lin said, Zhou Yan stopped being so shameless and said with a smile, Then I will thank the principal on behalf of the members of the orchestra.

Liu Lin said with a smile, No need to talk about these nonsense, just work hard. You are young now and have a bright future in school. I often chat with Teacher Wu and Director Shi. Among so many students, they I mention you the most.”

I also know the deep love of the two teachers, and I am really flattered.

Liu Lin said with emotion, When I was your age, I had just stayed in school, but I was soon seconded to the creative team of the Central Opera and Dance Theater Ballet Company. At that time, we were not as free as we are now...

…

Because they were from the same faction, Liu Lin and Zhou Yan chatted a little more. About half an hour later, Zhou Yan left the principal's office, and then went to the Practice Center to see the time in the concert hall.

Two hours after setting the time for the evening the day after tomorrow, Zhou Yan went to Fang Xiu again and told her to inform the orchestra members to go to the concert hall at five o'clock the day after tomorrow.

After doing this, Zhou Yan went home.

It was quite tiring running around this day. After returning home, Zhou Yan tidied up and did not do other work. He just held the book until dinner.

After dinner, Zhou Yan returned home and took out his memo booklet to see what work he had not done recently. Then he saw the item Zhang Xueyou invites you to sing.

I have been so busy these past two days that I almost forgot about it.

Now that he was free, Zhou Yan thought carefully about it, and it would be better to write songs for Zhang Xueyou. After all, Zhang Xueyou has many classic songs that have not been released, so it is easy to borrow them.

After a while, Zhou Yan actually thought of a song - Hair is Messy.

Messy Hair was originally a Korean song called Honey. It is a very cheerful jazz-pop style song. This style should be quite a breakthrough for the current Zhang Xueyou.

This song has a bit of a funk feel, and it sounds similar to the rhythm pattern of Uptown Funk by Martian Brother. There are basically no such songs in Hong Kong nowadays.

After thinking about this song, Zhou Yan was ready to start writing. He couldn't use his right hand now, so he wanted to write the score with his left hand. However, after writing for a while, he couldn't even finish half a line of the staff, and the notes drawn by his left hand were also crooked and very weird. Unsightly.

After thinking about it, he gave up the idea of ​​writing music with his left hand and planned to wait until his right hand got better before writing. However, he called Zhang Youan first and told Zhang Youan that he already had ideas about Zhang Xueyou's new song. .

Zhang Youan was of course very happy to hear that Zhou Yan had a new song, but he couldn't help but ask, How about writing another one for Lin Yilian?

Although they did not agree that Du Zizhi would write two songs for Lin Yilian, Du Zizhi had invited the two songs before, and Du Zizhi did help a lot during this time.

If Zhou Yan didn't have time to write to Lin Yilian because he was busy, that would be easy to say. But now that Zhou Yan is writing a song for Zhang Xueyou, it is inevitable that Du Zizhi and the others will not have any ideas.

Zhou Yan also nodded. Since he wanted to repay the favor, he should repay it well.

He pondered for a moment, How about I write another chorus for Zhang Xueyou and Lin Yilian? They are not in the same company, is it inconvenient?

Zhang You'an smiled and said, What's the inconvenience? It's just a chorus, not a singer from the same company, and we have sung together a lot. Moreover, Zhang Xueyou and Lin Yilian have a very good relationship, so it's easy to communicate on this matter.

In that case, then I will write another chorus for them. Zhou Yan said.

Well, you decide for yourself. Don't be too tired. How is your arm now? Zhang Youan asked.

Jiang Xia reported Zhou Yan's arm injury to Zhang Youan the next day. After all, it was not a trivial matter, and Zhang Youan, as a manager, must know about it.

It's nothing serious. It hurt a little for the first two days. It's getting better these two days. I think it will be fine in three to five days.

In fact, Zhou Yan can now hold chopsticks with his right hand to eat, but it still hurts a little when moving. Because he is afraid of aggravating the injury, Zhou Yan doesn't use his right arm now.

These days he uses his right hand all the time. Although it is difficult to write, he can still eat.

It's okay, just be careful next time you go to the set.

Okay, just say it like this.

After talking to Zhang Youan on the phone, Zhou Yan wrote down My Hair is Messy and Why I Love You So Much on the memo.

Why Do I Love You So Much was a duet song he just thought of for Zhang Xueyou and Lin Yilin. The original version of this song is also a Korean song, and the Mandarin version was sung by Huang Pinyuan, Mok Wenwei.

Now Zhou Yan borrowed this song in advance and gave it to Zhang Xueyou and Lin Yilian to sing. Their styles are quite suitable.

And these three songs, plus the two songs given to Anita Mui, are already five songs. If there are other songs in the future, they can be put together to make an album. Maybe they can be followed in Korea Neon hair, a reverse output.

…

Two days later, on the evening of the third day, when Zhou Yan arrived at the concert hall at 4:50, there were already more than a dozen people in the orchestra.

Zhou Yan's appointment time was from 5:30 to 7:30. They were lucky, no one else used the concert hall before 5:30.

As soon as she saw Zhou Yan, Fang Xiu walked towards him holding a watch.

Senior brother, let me show you the roster.

Zhou Yan nodded and took the roster.

On this roster, there are the names of everyone in the band. Some people have red ticks after their names, some have black ticks, and some have written notes.

A red check mark means that there is no way to attend tonight's evening activities and you have to ask for leave. After all, at 5:30, some students have to go to class, and in addition to class, there may be other things that delay the stay.

Those with a black check mark mean they have arrived at the scene.

There were two text notes with the same content, but no one was found.

Nowadays, communication is not developed, so it is normal for you to not be able to find someone even if you are in the same school. There are dozens of people in their band, but only two of them have not been contacted, which is already considered a small number.

Seeing that there were relatively few people asking for leave today, Zhou Yan smiled and said, Not bad, there are quite a lot of people today, and I just have something to announce.

What's going on? Yu Ran asked next to him, Are there any new songs to practice?

Zhou Yan smiled and said: There are new songs everywhere. At this time, I don't want you to practice new songs. It's other things.

Hearing that there were no new songs, Yu Ran was stunned and a little disappointed.

Just as Fang Xiu was about to ask, Zhou Yan added, Let's wait until everyone arrives before announcing.

The two nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

In the next ten minutes, people came in very quickly. At around 5:00, Fang Xiu came over with the roster and said, Senior Brother Zhou Yan, everyone who is supposed to be here is here.

Yes. Zhou Yan nodded, then clapped his hands, Everyone, please stop and listen to what I have to say.

The band members who were adjusting their instruments all looked over.

Zhou Yan said with a smile, Before today's rehearsal begins, I will announce two things. First, from today on, Fang Xiu will be the leader of our orchestra. The orchestra's daily rehearsals will be arranged and scheduled by her.

No one was surprised to hear that Fang Xiu had taken over as band leader, because when Zhou Yan was away, Fang Xiu was basically doing everything in the band.

Fang Xiu herself was not surprised. Zhou Yan had asked for her opinion on this matter before, and she agreed. Otherwise, Zhou Yan would not have announced this matter in public.

Of course, no surprise at all, everyone still applauded to express congratulations.

After the applause gradually stopped, Zhou Yan continued, The second thing is that our band is going to change its name.

Everyone was a little surprised when they heard that the band was going to change their name.

The name of their band has just been decided not long ago, so why do they have to change it?

At that time, this name was chosen through democratic voting by everyone, and most people were very satisfied with this name.

For a moment, everyone couldn't help but start talking.

Zhou Yan pressed his hands and said, Don't be impatient, everyone. Listen to me. In fact, it's not a name change. It's just adding the name of our school in front of the original name. From now on, the full name of our orchestra is Central Conservatory of Music Piano Boys. Symphony Orchestra.

After hearing this, the discussion that had just stopped started again and became louder.

Why did you join the school? Didn't you say you didn't want to join the school before?

Could it be that the school asked me to add him?

If the school lets you add it, that's a good thing.

Are we suddenly a regular army?

Aren't we originally a regular army?

…

Zhou Yan answered their questions with a smile, Because the school leaders attach great importance to your development, they made the decision to let our orchestra add the school's name. After adding the name, we can use the concert hall for ten hours a week, basically It meets the rehearsal needs.”

Hearing Zhou Yan's explanation, everyone was very happy. Needless to say, it was a false reputation. Being able to practice ten hours a week in the concert hall was a real benefit.

After talking about the two things, Zhou Yan asked the new team leader Fang Xiu to come on stage and say a few words to everyone, and then they began to prepare for rehearsal.

Because Zhou Yan strained his arm, he did not arrange a place for himself during the rehearsal, and just watched quietly from the side.

In fact, when everyone rehearses, they not only practice the scores written by Zhou Yan, but also other music. In addition to some traditional classical music, they also practice more difficult works written by Zhou Yan before.

Zhou Yan is also worried that if they practice simple music every day, their level will decline over time.

Although their band has not been established for a long time, and the members are all students, after this period of time, the overall progress has been quite rapid, and the tacit understanding has become better and better.

…

In the next five or six days, Zhou Yan focused on school, either studying with the students of Composition 92 or rehearsing with the orchestra.

On December 21, the filming of the Olympic bid promotional video officially started.

Their shooting plan focused on easy first, then difficult, so what was shot first was actually the later content, and the more difficult parts of the previous section were shot later.

Because the early shooting content was simple, the shooting speed was very fast. It only took three days to complete two-fifths of the storyboard.

But after three days of filming, the crew stopped again because Greenspan was celebrating Christmas.

And Zhou Yan happens to be interviewing potential young actors for The Sixth Sense on the 27th.

The young actors were arranged at the Xufeng Hotel not far from Zhou Yan's residence, and the interview location was also in the hotel. Zhou Yan originally planned to go directly to interview them on the 27th, but now because Greenspan is on a long vacation, So I went to the hotel one day early on the afternoon of the 26th.

As soon as Zhou Yan arrived at the hotel lobby, he heard someone arguing at the front desk.

Under normal circumstances, Zhou Yan would not join in this kind of quarrel. He just glanced in the direction of the front desk and prepared to walk to the elevator.

But after walking a few steps, I heard a man's voice with a Shanghai accent.

Little girl, you are so unreasonable. I don't have high demands, just give us a room on the east side.

Sir, I'm really sorry. There are really no rooms on the east side now, and it really can't be adjusted. Otherwise, how about you coordinate with other tenants?

What do I mean by coordinating with the tenants myself? What do I need you to do? I've heard your words many times. I don't believe that all the rooms on the east side are gone because you don't want to change them. Let me tell you, if you don't help solve the problem, I want to complain to you. We are here to participate in the casting of The Sixth Sense. You know, we have come all the way from Shanghai, and this is how you greet the guests.

Sir, I really don't...

After listening to a few words, Zhou Yan probably understood that this parent brought their children to audition for The Sixth Sense. They wanted the east room, but the east room was no longer available, and they were struggling now.

Zhou Yan went to the side and took a look. When he saw the little boy next to the man, he raised his eyebrows. It's okay, it's not Hu Ke.

Originally, there were only two children coming to Shanghai, but Zhou Yan was worried that there were not enough classmates for the young male protagonist behind him, so he sent four children to come to Shanghai. The one in front of him was another four-year-old child besides Hu Ke.

Zhou Yan was quite impressed by this child. His name is Zhang Tao. He is very eloquent and has many talents. He can play piano, accordion, and saxophone. He also served as a host on a TV station for two years. His stage experience is outstanding among the candidates. kind of.

Now that the man saw that his demands were not being met, he waved his hand impatiently and said, If you can't tell me this, little girl, go and call your leader.

Sir, you can't solve the problem even if you call my leader. We really don't have any rooms to the east...

The man raised his voice again, Why are you talking so much nonsense? Did you hear me when I asked you to call the leader?

The girl at the front desk probably hadn't been in the business for long and had never seen any difficult customers. After being yelled at, her mouth became flat and her eye circles became red.

Zhou Yan couldn't stand it anymore. Mainly because this matter had something to do with him, he said, Brother, why are you a little girl? There is no difference between the rooms on the east side and the rooms on the west side. If you really want to live in the east side, You can also wait until someone checks out tomorrow before changing the room.

The man turned to look at Zhou Yan, then weighed the Big Brother in his hand, and said disdainfully, What does this have to do with you? You want to be a hero and save the beauty.

Zhou Yan twitched his lips, Whether this has anything to do with me or not, you have to be reasonable, and I heard you say that you brought your children to audition for The Sixth Sense, right here in the hall. If you quarrel with someone, if someone from the crew comes over and bumps into you, they will definitely have a bad impression of you.

Hearing what Zhou Yan said, the man looked around unconsciously. After making sure that there was no one else in the hall, he gave Zhou Yan a roll of his eyes and said, Don't scare me, you little red guy. This is my legitimate request, even if it's the crew. People here, that’s what I said.”

Zhou Yan smiled and shook his head, then asked the man, Do you know who the director of The Sixth Sense is?

Whether I know or not is none of your business. The man curled his lips and said, Zhou Yan, I definitely know.

Then do you know what Zhou Yan looks like?

This is not nonsense. Director Zhou and I are very familiar with each other. We often have dinner together.

Zhou Yan was almost amused by the man's words. He was so brave to brag.

At this time, the man didn't want to talk to Zhou Yan and wanted to ask the girl to find the leader. Zhou Yan suddenly smiled and said, Brother, you are very familiar with our Director Zhou. I am really blind and blind.

The man raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhou Yan, Your Director Zhou?

Zhou Yan nodded, Well, I'm also a staff member in charge of logistics for the crew. I arranged the room here.

When he heard that Zhou Yan was also a member of the crew, the man's expression suddenly changed and became kind, Hey, young man, you are from the crew. I was really embarrassed just now. I was too impatient. I can't help it. My child has been there since he was a child. I’m used to sleeping in rooms on the east side. If I don’t sleep on the east side, I’m sure I won’t be able to sleep well, which will affect my performance.”

Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows, oh, this guy changes his face pretty fast.

It's okay. Since you are very familiar with our Director Zhou, then you guys stay in the west room for a while. I will find someone to coordinate with you right away and help you move to the east room.

Oh, thank you very much.

Zhou Yan smiled and waved his hand, It doesn't matter, it's easy. You are so familiar with our Director Zhou, I will definitely handle this little thing for you.

Then let me coordinate with you.

No, I'll just go ahead and tell you. You guys go up first.

Okay, okay, thank you. We live in 305. If you have coordinated well, remember to tell us.

Then the man took his son upstairs.

After the father and son left, Zhou Yan said to the little girl at the front desk: It's okay. Just go about your business.

The little girl thanked with red eyes, Thank you.

You're welcome.

Do you really want to coordinate the room for him? the girl asked.

Zhou Yan asked with a smile, Is 318 the room on the east side?

Yes. The girl nodded. The odd-numbered rooms in their hotel are basically on the west side, and the even-numbered rooms are on the east side.

Then give him 318 in exchange.

318?

The girl took out the notebook and looked at it, then waved her hands repeatedly, No, 318 is reserved for Zhou Yan, the director of your crew.

Zhou Yan smiled and took out his ID card from his pocket, I am Zhou Yan.

Ah? The girl stretched her head and looked at her ID card. There was indeed the word Zhou Yan on it, and she was stunned.

It's okay, let him change it.

Zhou Yan took back his ID card and walked to the elevator.

Going upstairs, Zhou Yan went to find Wang Xiaoshuai and Gao Jinwen.

In order to provide intensive training for the young actors, Zhou Yan specially invited Gao Jinwen to serve as the performance coach of the crew. The three of them will also serve as judges for tomorrow's interview.

Gao Jinwen was also very happy to see Zhou Yan. They had not seen each other in the past two years since they were separated from Qiao's courtyard. This time Gao Jinwen was invited to be the performance director, and Zhou Yan only had a phone call with him.

Gao Jinwen said with emotion, Two years ago, you were still worrying about how to play Chen Feipu. In just two years, you are already filming your second feature film.

Zhou Yan smiled and said, Teacher Gao, I want to thank you. You are my first acting teacher. I cannot embark on this path without your help.

Gao Jinwen waved his hands repeatedly, Hey, don't put your hat on me. When you were in the Qiao Family Courtyard, the help I gave you was very limited. I know this. Let's not talk about the past. Now I am a soldier under your Director Zhou, and we will have to listen to you on what we do in the future.

Wang Xiaoshuai said with a smile beside him, The top priority now is to decide on the candidate for the young male lead. Teacher Gao and I have already read the information about these children. How about we talk in advance?

Zhou Yan shook his head, It's better not to talk now, so as not to prejudge the situation. Let's discuss it carefully after the interview tomorrow.

Gao Jinwen smiled and nodded, That's okay, sometimes the first feeling is very important.

Teacher Gao, please pay more attention to the audition tomorrow. In terms of performance, you are more professional than Xiaoshuai and I. We really need your opinion. Zhou Yan said with a smile.

Hearing this, Gao Jinwen smiled and said to Wang Xiaoshuai, Director Wang, look, what I said before is absolutely right. Director Zhou just likes to put high hats on others. This was the case two years ago, but it is not the case now. Change.

Zhou Yan loved to flatter people, and he was famous in the Qiao Family Courtyard at that time. Otherwise, why would so many people like to deal with him?

Wang Xiaoshuai smiled and said, I don't think Director Zhou likes to give people high hats. He only praises people to the point. Teacher Gao, you are indeed more professional than us in acting.

Hearing Wang Xiaoshuai's words, Gao Jinwen couldn't help but give a thumbs up, High, really high!

Wang Xiaoshuai flattered Zhou Yan and Gao Jinwen at the same time. They made a double entendre, and he flattered both of them.

In fact, Wang Xiaoshuai didn't like to praise others before, but after spending time with Zhou Yan for a long time, he was somewhat affected.

…

Zhou Yan chatted with Wang Xiaoshuai and the others for more than an hour, then stood up and left.

When passing by 318, he saw that the door of the room was open, so he went in to take a look.

When Zhang Kui saw Zhou Yan, it was like seeing a relative, and he kept thanking him.

Brother, thank you so much for today.

At first, he just thanked her verbally. When Zhou Yan said he was leaving, he took out an envelope from his pocket and stuffed it into Zhou Yan's hand.

Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows and said, Hey, this guy is wild and started to pay bribes.

However, this envelope is not too thick, and it probably doesn't cost much. It seems that in the eyes of Zhang Tao's father, his status is not high enough.

Zhou Yan pushed the envelope back, It's all for work, it doesn't have to be like this. I have something else to do, so I'm going back first. See you tomorrow.

Seeing Zhou Yan's firmness, Zhang Kui gave up and said, Okay, see you tomorrow. We have a long way to go.

After Zhou Yan left, Zhang Kui patted his head and said angrily, I've been working on this for a long time and I didn't even ask for his name.

The contact was too hasty and he forgot about it.

…

The next morning, Zhang Kui and his son lined up outside the hotel conference room, waiting for the judges to come over.

At eight o'clock, the three judges arrived on time, and a group of parents brought their children to greet the three.

Zhang Kui raised his hand and was about to talk, but when he saw Zhou Yan walking in the front, he suddenly froze.

What's happening here?

Why is this young man in charge of logistics on the jury? Is it a mistake?

When Zhou Yan passed by Zhang Kui and his son, he raised his eyebrows at them with a meaningful expression.

When the three judges entered the conference room, Zhang Kui sat down on his chair and lost half of his energy.

…

It took one day for Zhou Yan and the others to complete all the auditions.

After the last child went out, Zhou Yan put down the pen in his hand and said with a smile: You two, let's talk.

Wang Xiaoshuai nodded and said, Let me talk about it first. Among these children, three have impressed me the most, namely No. 3, No. 7 and No. 32. No. 3, Li Yumin, is twelve years old. He is the oldest and has the calmest personality... No. 7 Zhang Tao is good at eloquence and has many talents... No. 32 Hu Ke has a good image, good eloquence, and is relatively balanced...

After Wang Xiaoshuai finished speaking, Gao Jinwen said, Director Wang and I have similar opinions. It's No. 7. I think the kid is too naughty. I want him to play the role of the young male protagonist. I don't think it's suitable. No. 3 Li Yumin and No. 32 Hu Ke have their own characteristics. I personally prefer Hu Ke. Li Yumin is already twelve years old and his development is not slow. By the time of the filming next year, he may have changed a lot and he will not be suitable by then. .”

It should be fine, it will only take a few months. Wang Xiaoshuai said, he still liked Li Yumin more.

Gao Jinwen shook his head, The key is that he is stuck at twelve years old. It's really hard to tell after a few months. Moreover, if everything goes well with our film, it will be fine. If we encounter any difficulties and the shooting time is postponed, then we will be even more passive. .Hu Ke is ten years old now. Even if he is given two years to grow, he will still be twelve years old. There will be no major problems in the future.

After they finished speaking, Zhou Yan said with finality, Let's just go with Hu Ke. The little guy's performance is still a bit worse than Li Yumin's. After all, he is two years younger, but he still has potential that can be tapped.

Gao Jinwen said with a smile, Ten-year-old children are the best to correct. Leave Hu Ke to me for two months to ensure that he makes significant progress.

I'm afraid two months won't work, but one month.

Then just one month, just leave it to me.

Zhou Yan nodded, Okay, now let's decide on the supporting roles.

Then the three of them started ticking names off the list.

In the end, the lists given by the three people were almost the same, but Wang Xiaoshuai discovered that Zhou Yan did not include Zhang Tao, and said unexpectedly, Did you forget to include Zhang Tao?

Zhou Yan shook his head, I didn't want him on purpose.

Why? Wang Xiaoshuai was very surprised, because he felt that Zhang Tao performed very well, even if he was not as good as Hu Ke and Li Yumin, he was still better than others.

Gao Jinwen was also a little surprised. He thought Zhang Tao was a bit slippery, but he should have no problem playing a supporting role.

Zhou Yan smiled and explained, His father is a thorn in the side and easily gets into trouble.

Both of them nodded. Although they didn't know how Zhou Yan knew that Zhang Tao's father was a thorn in his side, Zhou Yan was right. When looking for young actors to film, the biggest fear was that the parents would be difficult to deal with.

Therefore, the two of them decided on the list without saying anything.

Subsequent crew members will have to negotiate with these people with the list. After all, not every parent is willing to let their children play supporting roles.

The three of them walked out of the conference room and were discussing where to go for dinner when Zhang Kui suddenly appeared in front of them.

Three directors, you have worked hard today.

Zhou Yan looked at Zhang Kui and said with a smile, Why hasn't Boss Zhang left yet?

Zhang Kui scratched his head and said, Director Zhou, I am really ignorant. I didn't recognize him before. You sir, don't take it to heart.

As he spoke, he took out three more envelopes from his bag and stuffed them into the hands of the three of them.

A little gadget is not disrespectful.

Zhou Yan looked at the envelope. It was much thicker than the one yesterday. If it was one hundred yuan, this one would probably cost tens of thousands. Even if it was ten yuan, the three copies would add up to thousands.

This guy does spend a lot of money.

As soon as Zhou Yan pushed the envelope back, he heard Zhang Kui say again, Director Zhou, if you are willing to use Zhang Tao, I can sponsor your crew for 50,000 yuan.

The three of them were stunned for a moment.

Darling, fifty thousand is too expensive.

People come to act in movies and ask for a salary, but it's better for him to give tens of thousands to the crew.

It can be seen that this guy is either short of money or wants his son to act in movies.

Zhou Yan couldn't help but think of the many tricks that were used to defraud money later. Some film crews recruited young actors for filming. Not only did they not pay them, but they also had to pay registration fees. Moreover, many people were recruited, and many parents wanted their children to become stars.

Boss Zhang, if you have such thoughts, you should put them elsewhere. It really won't work here.

After saying that, Zhou Yan took Wang Xiaoshuai and others away.

Looking at the backs of Zhou Yan and the others, Zhang Kui sighed. He also knew that it was not good to give money in front of three people, but there was nothing he could do. He had no chance to see Zhou Yan alone.

After Zhou Yan and the others walked away, Wang Xiaoshuai joked, Aren't you curious about how much money is in the envelope?

I'm curious, why don't you go back and ask for me?

Then it's better to say goodbye. I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand the test myself and I'll take the money.

…

After having dinner with Wang Xiaoshuai and the others, Zhou Yan went home.

Not long after arriving home, I received a call from Zhang Youan.

On the phone, Zhang Youan first asked Zhou Yan about the audition today. When he learned that the candidate for the small lead role had been decided, he asked Zhou Yan, You said you wanted to write a song for Zhang Xueyou and the others before. How is it now? PolyGram is still there today. Called me.

Zhou Yan thought for a while and said, Write it the day after tomorrow and send it to you.
