1990: Starting from Baojia Street

When Zhou Yan returned to the concert hall backstage, he saw his brother Zhou Hong waiting in the lounge with a middle-aged man and two girls in their twenties.

When Zhou Yan came in, Zhou Hong introduced him to Zhou Yan with a smile, Third brother, this is boss Lin Changgong. Next to him is his daughter, Miss Lin, and Miss Lin's classmates.

As soon as Zhou Hong finished his introduction, Miss Lin and her classmates approached Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan, we really like you. The performance tonight was so wonderful that I will never forget it in my life.

Yes, yes, every song is nice.

Well, especially the song Kite, I almost cried.

Hearing them praising himself, Zhou Yan smiled and said, Thank you for your support. I am very happy that you like the performance.

After saying that, Zhou Yan saw Miss Lin reaching out to him and was about to shake hands with her. Who would have thought that Miss Lin came forward and gave Zhou Yan a hug. When Miss Lin let go of Zhou Yan, her female classmates also ran over to follow her. Zhou Yan hugged him.

Zhou Yan twitched his lips. It was actually common for idols to hug fans, but being forced into a hug was rare.

Miaomiao, you guys, be more reserved. Lin Changgong coughed lightly, smiled and shook hands with Zhou Yan, Teacher Zhou, when I found out that you and Mr. Zhou are brothers, I was really surprised. This world is too big. When I was young, Miaomiao and the others played your music at home every day. I have been listening to it for a long time and have become a fan of your music.

After all, Lin Changgong is a businessman, and he speaks well. In one sentence, he not only expresses his daughter's liking for Zhou Yan, but also implicitly expresses his appreciation for Zhou Yan. The key is not to make people feel exaggerated.

As for the statement of music fans, it probably cannot be taken seriously.

Zhou Yan smiled and said, My brother told me before that a very important friend likes my music, and I am very happy, but he should have told me earlier, so that I can prepare a few tickets for you in key positions. .”

Zhou Hong bought a lot of tickets for this concert, but most of them were in the second row, because the seats in the first row had been reserved by Zhou Yan and others for Zhang Xueyou and Anita Mui, and very few were sold to the outside world.

The location arranged by Mr. Zhou is already very good.

Zhou Hong smiled and said, Are there any front row tickets for the next show? Miaomiao and her classmates can watch it when they have time.

Zhou Yan nodded, No problem, I'll ask my agent to bring two over later.

The two little girls were very happy when they heard that there were tickets sent by Zhou Yan himself.

Thank you, brother Zhou Yan.

The few of them chatted for a while, and Zhou Yan asked Zhang Youan to give him two tickets for the left side of the first row, and signed his name and the names of the two girls on the ticket stubs.

After getting the tickets, the two girls were so happy that they almost came over to hug Zhou Yan again, but luckily Lin Changgong stopped them in time.

After Zhou Hong sent Lin Changgong and the others away, he came back and said to Zhou Yan with a smile: Boss Lin is really a slave to his daughter. Because his daughter likes you, he has expanded the scope of cooperation with us. China has panda diplomacy, look. After we come here, our Zhou family will also be able to have musicians for diplomacy. If we have a few more people like Miss Lin, business will be easier.

Can I understand that you want me to betray my appearance?

Haha, not that far yet.

In fact, Zhou Hong was joking about musician diplomacy. Lin Changgong could strengthen the cooperation between the two families. Of course, it couldn't be just because his daughter liked Zhou Yan's music. What businessmen valued was ultimately profit.

And Zhou Yan, a talented musician, is actually part of the Zhou family's strength.

…

Early the next morning, Zhou Yan led the students to review yesterday's performance.

After the training in the previous two games, the level of the entire orchestra has improved a lot.

Although they usually rehearse very carefully, rehearsal is just rehearsal, and it can never be compared with a formal stage.

Many musicians usually perform very well, but when they get to the stage and face thousands of people who have paid to watch the performance, their mentality can easily go wrong.

Sometimes, some musicians will go blank after taking the stage, including Zhou Yan himself. This has happened to him before, but it usually doesn't cause major problems because he usually trains very hard.

Just think about it, if you train for several hours a day, you already have muscle memory, and you don’t have to think about it deliberately.

This concert not only has a large audience, but also has higher social attention than the previous stages they participated in, so it is easy for problems to arise.

But after passing this hurdle, everything will be much better.

But even though everyone has performed much better than before, Zhou Yan still has a lot of problems, because Zhou Yan knows that in the music industry, only by constantly putting pressure on yourself can you make progress.

Many people outside the industry always feel that it is very beautiful when they look at people who are engaged in music. But in fact, for most people who study music, pain is the main theme, and the beautiful moments are always very short.

People only see that the musicians are beautiful on stage, but in normal times, outsiders don't know how much they want to smash their pianos.

Zhou Yan dared to conclude that out of the 10,000 children studying music, at least 9,999 had thought about smashing their instruments for a moment, and many of them even thought about jumping off the building.

Even Zhou Yan, a student recognized as extremely talented, has had the thought of throwing the bamboo flute.

Until now, Zhou Yan has never seen anyone pursue a career in music just because of his love for music.

In fact, for most children who have just learned music, it is not a passion, but a temporary interest. Only when they persist for many years and music has become an indispensable part of their lives, does interest become a passion.

But Zhou Yan didn't just ask questions. After the review, Zhou Yan said with a smile, After school starts next year, we can start rehearsing Eternal Night.

Everyone was very happy to hear Zhou Yan say that they could rehearse Eternal Night, because it was an affirmation for them. Only when their level is reached can they perform such a difficult piece on stage.

In addition to Eternal Night, there is a new song that you also need to rehearse.

Is it Thoughts Across Time and Space?

Zhou Yan shook his head and smiled, No, it's another piece of music that I just wrote. It's called Early Morning, First Snow, Red Sun. I'll give you the score when school starts next year.

Seeing Zhou Yan's trick, the students scratched their heads anxiously, curious about what Zhou Yan's new song was.

One of the benefits of joining the Piano Youth Symphony Orchestra is that you can be the first to hear Zhou Yan's new music. This is also one of the purposes of many members joining the orchestra.

But if Zhou Yan didn't tell them, they had no choice but to endure it and wait until school starts next year.

Zhou Yan smiled and clapped his hands, After lunch, you guys take a rest. At two o'clock in the afternoon we will set off to the concert hall to rehearse.

…

While Zhou Yan and the others were rehearsing in the concert hall, The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly began to be released on Neon.

As soon as Tian Nakamaji finished school, he ran to the movie theater near the school. Hiramatsu and Hiro were already waiting for him at the door of the movie theater.

I'll buy a ticket.

Tanakamaji ran towards the ticket booth, but Hiramatsu and Hiroshi held him back, then raised the two movie tickets in their hands and waved them in front of him, Already bought.

How much, I'll give it to you.

No, please ask me to watch next time.

Tian Zhong was no longer polite and nodded, No problem.

The movie won't start in a while. Come on, I'll show you something good.

After saying that, Hiramatsu and Hiroshi ran to the empty seats next to them and sat down, then took out the CD player from their schoolbags.

Who has released new music? Tian Zhongmaer sat down next to him.

Zhou Yanjun.

Tian Nakamaji's face was full of surprise, Didn't Piano Boy just come out? Is there a new album so soon?

It's not a new album. Hiramatsu Kazuhiro shook his head, and then took a pair of headphones to Tian Nakamaji, You will know after listening to it.

Tian Nakamaji took the headphones with doubts and put them in his ears.

Hiramatsu and Guang tinkered for a while, and then a piano solo came from the headphones.

As soon as he heard the prelude, Tian Nakamaji raised his eyebrows, Isn't this Forever Together?

Forever Together is a song from the album Piano Boy. Why is it a new song?

Hiramatsu and Guang didn't explain, just smiled and said, You continue to listen.

Tian Nakamaji didn't speak any more and continued to listen. Then he discovered that this section was different from Stay with Me in The Piano Boy. It must have been adapted.

He still doesn't understand. He can't say that it will be a new song after an arrangement.

However, his doubts soon dissipated because he heard a song.

This tune was actually turned into a song.

Tian Zhongmaer has listened to Cantonese songs and can tell that the singer speaks Cantonese.

The female singer's voice is deep and melodious, and she performs very well in the alto range.

Tian Nakamaji had never thought before that this piece of music could be turned into a song, and it was so beautiful. The female singer's voice was also very suitable for this piece of music.

Although there are no lyrics, Tanakamaji can understand the emotions expressed in this song. This experience is somewhat different from listening to pure music alone.

When the song ended, Tanakamaji asked, Who sang this?

Anita Mui.

Tian Zhongjian nodded. Anita Mui is a well-known Hong Kong singer in Neon. He has also listened to several of Anita Mui's Neon songs.

It's so nice to turn this piece into a song. It would be great if there was a neon language version.

The Cantonese version is also very nice... If there is a neon version, who would you like to sing it?

Of course it's a famous dish.

Hiramatsu and Guang laughed, I knew it.

Tanakamaji's favorite female singer is Nakamori Akina. Of course, in Neon, there are too many people who like Nakamori Akina, and Tanakamaji is just one of thousands.

But putting aside personal preferences, Tanaka Maji thinks it is really good for Nakamori Akina to sing this song. If Nakamori Akina sings, her style should be different from Anita Mui's, and Nakamori's voice is more ethereal.

Hiramatsu and Hiro did not continue to discuss the song with Nakamaji. He smiled and said, There is one more song, let's continue listening.

Are we still adapting Zhou Yan's music? Which one is it? Reunion? Kite? Or something else?

Tanakamaji made a round of guesses, but he shook his head every time he guessed, because he felt that these pieces of music were not suitable for being turned into songs.

Hiramatsu and Hiroshi didn't answer, but smiled and pressed the play button on the CD player.

After a while, the sound of a violin reached Tian Zhongmaer's ears.

Tian Nakamaji frowned. This melody felt strange to him. He was sure that this melody did not exist in Piano Boy.

Of course, since the tune is changed into a song, the prelude may also be added to the arrangement later.

But when the song started playing later, Tanakamaji was already sure that this was a new song.

Listening to the melodious and sad song, Tanakamaji slowly closed his eyes. Although he still couldn't understand the lyrics, this song made him feel a kind of sadness of separation and death.

Tian Nakamaji has never experienced separation between life and death, but the emotions of sadness are sometimes similar. For some reason, he suddenly thought of the time when he was just injured. At that time, he seemed to be out of the world and wanted to be with no one. say.

Seeing Tian Nakamaji immersed in the music, Hiramatsu and Hiroshi nodded with satisfaction. Sometimes the joy of hearing a good song is not as intense as the joy of sharing the song with like-minded friends.

Good music is hard to find, and good friends are even rarer.

Anita Mui's Cantonese album has not yet been released on Neon. Ping Song and Guang got it through friends in Xiangjiang, so now very few people in Neon know about these two songs.

When a song ended, Nakamaji asked, What's the name of this song?

It's called If Love Has God's Will. I asked a friend and he told me that this is how it is translated.

In fact, they can make a rough guess regardless of the translation, because they know many Chinese characters, such as love and God's will in this song.

Tian Zhongmao nodded, Is this also composed by Zhou Yanjun?

Yes, I heard that it is also the soundtrack for a movie, but the movie has not been released yet.

Well, this song is also very suitable for famous dishes.

Hiramatsu and Hiro rolled their eyes. Tanaka wanted all the good songs in the world to be sung by Nakamori Akina, but Hiramatsu and Hiro had to admit that it would really be good if Nakamori Akina sang this song.

If you really want her to sing these two songs, why not write to her? Maybe she can accept your suggestion. Hiramatsu and Hiro suggested with a smile.

Tian Zhongma curled his lips, Hiramatsu and Guang would always make such unreliable suggestions.

Which one of these two songs do you think is better?

Tanakamaji said with a serious expression, Hiramatsu-kun, smart people will not compare... Of course, if you must have an answer, I personally prefer If Love Is Provident.

On the contrary, I prefer Stand With Me. Don't you think the first song is more comfortable?

This is the difference between Tada Nakamaji and Hiramatsu Kazuhiro. Tada Nakamaji prefers sadder songs.

“Has the album been released on Neon?”

Hiramatsu and Guang shook their heads, No, but I can lend it to you to listen to for a few days.

Thank you very much.

…

The two were discussing Stand With Me and If Love Is Provident. A tall and beautiful girl walked up to them, tilted her head and smiled, Tian Zhong, are you coming to the movie too?

Tanakamaji raised his head and looked at the girl, it was Ibuki Suzune from his class.

Yeah. Tian Nakamaji tried to force out a smile, but finally gave up. He had been alienated from his classmates for a long time.

Pinsong and Guang next to him were more enthusiastic than him. Pinsong and Guang stood up and said with a smile, Hello, I am Pinsong and Guang, Tian Zhong's good friend.

Hello, I am Ibuki Suzune.

Are you here to watch a movie too?

Yeah. Ibuki Suzune nodded, What movie are you going to watch?

The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly was just released today. How about you?

What a coincidence, I also want to watch this movie. Ibuki Suzune said with a smile.

Have you bought your tickets yet?

No, I'm going to buy a ticket now.

Ibuki Suzune smiled again, ran to the ticket office and bought two tickets for The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly, and then went back to chat with Hiramatsu and Hiro.

After a while, the ticket check for the movie started. Hiramatsu and Hirokata Nakamaji walked towards the ticket gate, but Ibuki Suzune did not move.

Aren't you going to check the tickets? Hiramatsu and Guang asked.

I still have to wait for my friends.

Oh, let's go in first, the movie will start soon.

Well, you go in first.

Ibuki Suzune waited outside for a few more minutes, and her good friend Sato Rina finally arrived.

As soon as Sato Rina arrived, Ibuki Suzune pulled her to check the tickets. The latter looked puzzled, The movie doesn't start in more than twenty minutes, why do you check the tickets so soon?

They made an appointment to watch Home Alone 2, which is currently in theaters. Sato Rina kept track of the time, and it would not be released until more than twenty minutes, so she was not in a hurry when she came.

Ibuki Suzune shook the ticket in her hand and said, There is a new movie released today. I heard it is very good. Why don't we watch this first.

It was only released today, so who did you hear said it was particularly good-looking? Sato Rina caught the loophole in Ibuki Suzune's words.

Anyway, it's very beautiful. The tickets have been bought. Let's go in.

Okay. Sato Rina shrugged.

She didn't particularly care what she was looking at.

The two of them quickly went to check in their tickets and found their seats almost without a hitch.

After sitting down, the movie had just started playing. Rina Sato looked at less than a quarter of the theater's occupancy rate and couldn't help but curled her lips and said, Are you sure this movie is good? Why are there so few people?

Ibuki Suzune smiled and said, Whether it looks good or not, we'll know soon?

Sato Rina nodded and said no more.

At this moment, the movie has started. In the paragliding base, a little boy got on the paraglider and flew away while others were not paying attention.

Then the paraglider in the lens became farther and farther away, and finally turned into a small black dot in the screen. Then the black dot slowly grew bigger, and finally turned into a black eyeball.

Just when Sato Rina was worried about the little boy's safety, the camera zoomed out and showed a medium shot of a child sitting on the ground in a daze.

…

This is a movie like Home Alone in which the protagonist is a child, but after only watching it for a few minutes, Sato Rina knew that although it was also a children's movie, the styles of the two movies were completely different.

When watching Home Alone, the audience often laughed in the theater, but when watching The Piano Boy, the feeling was very different. Even though some parts were interesting, everyone smiled knowingly.

In the early stage, the little boy was discovered to have superhuman talents, and Naina Sato felt that he was very powerful. However, when the little boy's mother kept forcing the little boy to play the piano and liked to show off in front of outsiders, it made people feel very depressed.

Later, the interaction between the grandfather and the little boy made her feel very warm.

Naina Sato thought of her grandfather, who lived in the countryside. When she was a child, she would often go to the countryside with her parents to find her grandfather.

At that time, she often thought that it would be great if she could grow up quickly, then instead of waiting for her parents to have time to go to the countryside, she could take a car to the countryside to find her grandfather at any time.

But when she grew up and could take a car to the countryside by herself, her grandfather had passed away.

She has not been to the countryside for a long time. Even if her parents go back, she will not go with them because she is afraid that she will think of her grandfather when she goes back.

Her grandfather, like the young hero's grandfather, would listen to all her troubles very gently and give her some advice. To this day, she still remembers what her grandfather said to her.

It would be great if her grandfather was still alive.

But just as Sato was immersed in this beauty, she gradually realized that something was wrong. Grandpa's health seemed not to be well... In the end, just as she expected, grandpa passed away.

In the movie, when her grandfather passed away, Sato was stunned. For a moment, she couldn't even hear the outside world.

She thought that when her grandfather passed away, it was just like in the movie, lying on the bed, like a candle that could be blown out by the wind at any time, but no matter how she prayed, the wind that blew out the candle eventually came and took it away. The fire took away hope and grandpa.

After a while, Sato wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and finally recovered.

…

When the movie ended and the lights in the theater came on, Ibuki Suzune turned to look at Sato Rina, only to see an exaggerated smiling face.

Ibuki Suzune was stunned for a moment. She was wondering why she had such an exaggerated smile when watching this movie. Although the Easter egg at the end of the movie was indeed interesting, it was not like this.

But looking carefully, she found that the smiling face was strange. It was not smiling at all, but covering up the sadness in his eyes.

Thinking that Sato's grandfather had been dead for several years, Ibuki Suzune probably understood why Sato behaved like this.

She smiled and took Sato Rina's hand, The movie is over, let's go out.

As soon as the two of them walked into the lobby and before they started discussing the plot of the movie, they saw Hiramatsu and Hiroshi and Tanakamaji.

Sato Rina smiled again, but this time it was a real smile, No wonder you want to watch this movie, it turns out it's because of Tanaka.

Don't talk nonsense, I only bought the ticket because they said the movie was good. And they were right, the movie was really good.

I understand, it's definitely not because you like Tian Zhong.

...

Hiramatsu and Guang also saw them and came over with a smile, How is it? Is the movie good?

Ibuki Suzune glanced at Tanakamaji and smiled, Well, the movie is very good. I haven't seen a movie that moved me like this in a long time.

Hiramatsu and Hiro smiled again and asked, Did you pay attention to the music in the movie?

Ibuki Suzune thought for a while and didn't know what to say. This movie is mainly about the young male protagonist's piano journey. Music must play a large role, and the songs in it are all very nice, but when it comes to paying attention, she doesn't care. No special attention.

Those pieces of music should all be well-known piano pieces.

The part where the hero is caught playing the piano by his grandfather, the song is called Hidden Joy, the part where the hero meets the sister next door, the improvised part is Reunion, and the last part of the symphony is called Croatian Rhapsody. These songs were all composed by director Zhou Yan himself.

Sato Rina was very surprised, Didn't this movie just come out today? Why do you know so much? Is the director Zhou Yan very famous?

It can't be said that he is very famous in Neon. This is his first movie, but we have listened to his music album Piano Boy before. The songs I just mentioned are all in the album.

Did the music inside come out first? Ibuki Suzune said in surprise. At the same time, she also understood that Hiramatsu and Hiro must have come to watch the movie because of the music.

Not only the music in this movie, but also the soundtracks of other movies. If you are interested, you can go to the video store to listen to it.

Saying that, Hiramatsu and Hiroshi hugged Tanaka Maji's shoulders again, Tanako also likes this album very much.

Hearing this, Ibuki Suzune's eyes also lit up.

After saying goodbye to Hiramatsu Kazuhiro and Tanakama, Ibuki Suzune took Sato Rina to a nearby video store to buy a Piano Boy album.

…

The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly did not make any splash on the day it was released on Neon. After all, the cost of the film is high. Its performance in Hong Kong and Taiwan was not bad, but it did not cost the copyright owner too much money. Promote it.

However, in the next few days, the movie's attendance rate slowly increased. From the original early twenties, it slowly exceeded thirty and began to move towards forty.

If the average attendance rate of a movie can reach 40, it is already very good, and after the release, the attendance rate becomes higher, which also proves the market potential of this movie.

Therefore, many cinemas have increased the number of screenings of The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly. However, due to the increase in the number of screenings, the attendance rate, which was originally rising, has stabilized at more than 30, neither going up nor going down.

This is what movie theaters do deliberately. Stabilizing the attendance rate within a suitable range is the most profitable.

…

The last performance of the Piano Youth Orchestra in Hong Kong went very smoothly. Although there were no celebrities in attendance, the atmosphere was still very warm.

Originally, Xiangjiang's second concert only had three encores, but after Zhou Yan left the stage, the lights in the concert hall turned on. The audience just didn't want to leave and stayed in their seats to applaud desperately.

Maybe it's because Zhou Yan returned four times in the previous game, and many people knew about it, so they felt that if Zhou Yan didn't return four times, they wouldn't make as much money from the audience as they did in the previous game.

In the end, there was no choice. Even though the lights in the concert hall were already on, Zhou Yan returned for the fourth time, playing the song Thoughts Across Time and Space.

When the fourth encore was over, the audience was satisfied, applauded symbolically for a while, and then began to disperse.

Then there is the encore performance outside the concert hall. Other performances have been added, but this last performance must not be included. There is a large audience gathered outside.

Today is Saturday, and there are so many people here, so Zhou Yan stayed and performed the items from the last encore performance.

And it wasn’t just an encore, because it was the last performance, Zhou Yan and the others also came outside for a final farewell.

Zhou Yan took the microphone and spoke a few paragraphs to the audience. He first praised the musicians in the orchestra. Although they were all still students, they were all capable musicians. Then he thanked the audience and the city of Xiangjiang. City, expressed the hope to come again in the future if there is an opportunity.

After the closing speech, Zhou Yan took the musicians around the venue and interacted with the audience at close range for a while, shaking hands, saying hello, chatting, and Zhou Yan also signed autographs for some audience members.

With so many people at the scene, it was of course impossible for Zhou Yan to sign autographs for everyone, so he could only choose to sign.

Seeing that they couldn't get Zhou Yan's autograph, many audience members settled for the next best thing and went to other musicians to sign autographs.

These students were very excited when they saw an audience asking for their autographs. Signing autographs made them suddenly feel like they had become famous.

Especially the boy Wang Feng seemed to enjoy this feeling very much.

Wang Feng is the concertmaster of the second group of violinists and is considered an important figure in the orchestra. Moreover, the young man has long hair and is rather distinctive. Many audiences have noticed him, so he has the most number of people seeking autographs.

When all sessions were over and Zhou Yan and the others returned to the hotel, it was already close to eleven o'clock. Zhou Yan didn't say anything more to the students and asked them to wash up and go to bed early.

The next morning, Zhou Yan called everyone together.

The four performances were successfully completed, and everyone was in a good mood. At this time, Zhou Yan would not come out and say anything to hurt their mood. In summarizing, he would only pick and talk, and some minor problems would be brushed aside.

After summarizing the performance, Zhou Yan patted the box beside him and said with a smile, Do you know what is in this box?

The students saw this box when they arrived. It was placed on the table next to Zhou Yan. It was just an ordinary cardboard box.

Senior brother, is this a gift for us? Li Biru asked with a smile.

Zhou Yan shook his head, It's not a gift, you all deserve it.

With that said, Zhou Yan opened the box and placed many envelopes inside.

These envelopes contain money, which is your performance allowance during this period. There are names on each envelope. Captain Fang, please take everyone to divide one point according to their names.

When they heard that the money in the envelope was their performance allowance, the students couldn't help but rub their hands together with anticipation on their faces.

They know that there are additional subsidies for performances, but they don't know how much the subsidies are.

Fang Xiu held the box and began to distribute it to them.

Huo Wenkai.

arrive.

Yue Lin.

arrive.

Wang Feng.

arrive.

…

It was distributed within a few minutes. After getting the envelopes, the students wanted to open them and take a look, but they were embarrassed because so many people were present.

They are not only curious about how much they have, but also how much others have. In their opinion, since the envelope has a name written on it, the money in the envelope must be different for everyone.

If the money is the same, there is no need to write names.

But Zhou Yan smiled and said, Because this is the first time to go out to perform, so this time we have a big pot meal, and each of you has the same money. Of course, this is the first time and the last time. What will happen later? The allowance everyone can receive will be based on the comprehensive score. As for the amount, you can see for yourself.

Li Biru was the first to express her excitement, and then asked in surprise, So many?

The envelope looked quite thick, but Li Biru originally thought that the banknotes in the envelope were only fifty denominations at most, but she didn't expect that they were all Hong Kong coins of one hundred denominations.

It must be three or four thousand, right?

Zhou Yan smiled and said, Each of you is worth four thousand Xiangjiang coins.

so many.

Seeing the smiles on everyone's faces, Zhou Yan also smiled. He was indeed the happiest when sharing money.

In fact, the original subsidy standard for them was 500 yuan per game, and after four games, it was 2,000 yuan per person, but the benefits of these four games were good.

Especially for these two shows in Xiangjiang, due to their high popularity, many live instruments are sponsored by brands, which saves a lot of rent.

As a result, Zhou Yan decided to give each of them a little more.

Four thousand, that's a lot less, but it's not too much. After all, the performance took place in Xiangjiang and Taiwan. They spent two or three weeks on this performance. After all, it was as much as Xiangjiang. The wages of ordinary people are not much different.

From these four concerts, Tomson did not make much money because the ticket prices were previously set relatively low, so the income base was low.

There are so many people in the band, so the allowance costs two to three hundred thousand, as well as accommodation, travel expenses, etc., which is close to three hundred thousand for Zhou Yan personally. After deducting venue fees, head fees and other expenses, there is really not much money left. .

Although Tomson did not make much money, this concert was very successful, at least the publicity effect completely exceeded their expectations.

And it not only made money for Zhou Yan, but also made money for these students of Yangyin.

Before the last concert ended, several entertainment companies organizing events contacted Zhang Youan and said they hoped to help Zhou Yan organize the concert.

Zhang You's Ministry of Security refused.

After these four concerts, Zhang Youan has gained experience. The key is that holding concerts is different from concerts. The stage design is not complicated, so Zhang Youan decided that in the future, Tomson Company will organize the concerts itself.

Yue Lin took the money and asked, Senior brother, can we spend this money as we please?

Hearing Yue Lin's words, Zhou Yan smiled. This boy was a typical good boy, but he still asked such a question. The others probably started to think about how to spend money when they went out soon.

Zhou Yan smiled and said: The money is yours, you decide how to spend it. However, as your senior brother and teacher, I still suggest that you think about your family when buying things. It is almost the Chinese New Year, and it is hard to get here. If you go to Xiangjiang and bring some specialties from Xiangjiang to your family, they will definitely be very happy no matter the price.”

The students all nodded, and they had actually thought about it. The main reason was that this was also the first big money most of them had earned. It would definitely be a good deal to buy something to give to their parents.

Fang Xiu especially knew this feeling. She had saved a bunch of band subsidies, which amounted to 150 yuan. Then she used the money to buy her father a pen that cost more than 60 yuan, and spent more than 80 yuan on it. I bought a dress for my mother with 1 yuan, and the old couple were very happy.

Dad puts a pen in his coat pocket every day and takes it out to write whenever he sees people. Whenever mom goes out to visit, she has to wear that dress and must let others know that her daughter bought it with money.

Oh, by the way. Zhou Yan thought of another thing, Some things can't pass the customs. Please consult with Qi Yunxiang and the others. Don't buy a bunch of things at once and find out in the end that you can't take them back.

I understand, senior brother.

Zhou Yan nodded and said with a smile: Let's disband on the spot. Just come back before ten o'clock in the evening.

After they went out, Zhou Yan was not idle. He put on a hat and black-rimmed glasses, then a scarf and a mask. He looked in the mirror and made sure he didn't recognize himself before going out.
