1990: Starting from Baojia Street

Zhou Yan originally had nothing to say, but after getting the microphone, he had a lot of words in his heart that he wanted to say to the students of 88 Composition.

I remember that the first question Shen Huaigang asked me when he was composing Climbing Tianshan was how to make this song reach the highest emotional level when he finally reaches the top. I told him that most of the joy of mountain climbing comes from In view of the difficulty in the process, if you want to express the joy of reaching the top, you must express the difficulty of the process.

Nietzsche once said, whatever does not kill me will make me stronger. Everyone at level 88, you have encountered many difficulties, which made you confused for a time, but in the end you came out. Many years later, you guys When you think back, you may still feel sad, but this experience is definitely an important part of your life.

When we encounter difficulties, we might as well raise our heads, see what's up there, and give ourselves a little motivation. The mountains you have crossed will eventually break into pieces of stone, paving a path in the direction you are going.

If today was just their class meeting, Zhou Yan would definitely have to say a few more words, but now that the concert has been going on for several hours, and the leading teachers are waiting below, he can't say too much.

He smiled and said, Finally, I would like to share two sentences with you, hoping to give you strength in the future.

The first sentence is that the limitations of fate may last forever, but the unyielding challenge is indispensable.

Second sentence, life and survival are two sides of the same coin. The slight dividing line between them lies in the different directions.

After saying these two sentences, Zhou Yan smiled again and said, I borrowed flowers to offer these two sentences to Buddha. Their owners are the two writers who are here today, Shi Tiesheng and Yu Hua. If you have any ideas, you can read their books. , very interesting, okay, I won’t say much more, I hope you all have a bright future and be happy every day.”

When Zhou Yan finished his speech, there was warm applause. Yu Hua and Shi Tiesheng were cueed and looked at each other, smiling and applauding Zhou Yan. They had long discovered that Zhou Yan had a good memory and could always blurt out some sentences from their works.

Even they themselves cannot remember these sentences so clearly.

Zhou Yan handed the microphone back to Jia Guoping, who took the microphone and said, I declare that this exchange meeting for undergraduate graduation works of the Composition Department (Orchestral Department) has been successfully concluded.

Principal Liu Lin applauded, and then said to Zhou Yan, This is a rare opportunity. The school is hosting today and I will treat you to a meal. What do you think?

You're welcome, principal. I'll show them around the school later.

Shi Wanchun said with a smile: Let's not get involved. They have listened to the performance for several hours today and are probably tired. Let Zhou Yan make arrangements by himself.

After hearing what they said, Liu Lin didn't insist. After greeting them one by one, he left with Shi Wanchun.

After the leaders left, the audience was not in a hurry to leave, because Wang Zuxian and Liang Jiahui were still there, and they all wanted to see the big stars. Of course, some of them were interested in Yu Hua and others.

The students from Composition 88 also gathered in front of Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan looked around and didn't see Xu Lang, so he asked with a smile, Where's that boy Ke Lang?

Xu Lang went to the toilet to wash his face. His face was covered with tears, Liu Ke said.

Shen Huaigang said with a smile, That boy showed his true feelings just now, but now he reacts and feels embarrassed.

Zhou Yan nodded, You are all tired today, so go back. During the last time, you can stay safe at school.

Brother, we are going to take graduation photos in a few days, will you come? Liu Ke asked.

Of course. Aren't I also level 88?

Everyone was very happy to hear that Zhou Yan would go. Liu Ke looked at Wang Zuxian again and said with some embarrassment, Sister Xiaoxian, can you sign your autograph for me? I am your fan.

Wang Zuxian said very generously, No problem, where should I sign?

Liu Ke took out his music score and said, Sign it here.

Okay. Wang Zuxian took the score, signed his name in the blank space, and then wrote three words: Very nice.

Although these three words are very simple, they make Liu Ke feel like he has found a treasure.

When others saw Liu Ke getting the signature, they also plucked up the courage to come forward.

They don't have anything else on hand right now, but they have a lot of music scores, and everyone has a music score.

Looking at so many music scores in front of her, Wang Zuxian also found it quite interesting. This was the first time for her to sign someone else's music scores. When they asked for autographs, she did not reject them and satisfied them one by one.

Not only did they go to Wang Zuxian to sign, but they also went to Liang Jiahui and He Saifei. They also signed it very generously.

After they signed their names, Zhou Yan took Wang Zuxian and the others around the school.

Wang Zuxian had long wanted to visit Yangyin. She was particularly curious about the place where Zhou Yan studied and worked, so she came in this time and was naturally not in a hurry to leave.

As for Li Hong and Wang Xiaoshuai, they are already very familiar with the Yangyin campus. Especially Li Hong, when he was filming The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly, he was responsible for contacting all units in the school. He contacted the logistics department , the staff in the musical instrument department are very familiar with each other.

Jia Guoping didn't leave either, and acted as a tour guide for Wang Zuxian and others.

Walking to the boys' dormitory, Jia Guoping said: This building is the dormitory where we lived when we were in school. We lived there for five years and left a lot of memories.

Wang Zuxian asked curiously, Teacher Jia, are you and Zhou Yan in the same dormitory?

Yes, there are more than a dozen boys in our major, two dormitories, all next to each other.

Do you often play musical instruments in the dormitory? Yu Hua asked.

Jia Guoping shook his head, Basically not. If you want to practice the piano, you have to go to the piano room, or find an open space outside and play the piano in the dormitory. It is too noisy. Zhou Yan used to like to sit on the rocks in the south and play the flute. At that time Girls often come to watch.”

Zhou Yan coughed lightly, Comrade Lao Jia, don't arrange it for me.

I'm stating the facts.

Zhou Yan turned his head and said to Wang Zuxian and others, He is pure nonsense.

Although it seemed like he was talking to everyone, he was actually talking to Joey Wong.

Wang Zuxian smiled meaningfully and said, I have long heard that Director Zhou was very popular with girls when he was in school.

Liu Qing added to the fire, When he is not in school, he is also very popular with girls.

Zhou Yan immediately changed the subject, I'll take you to the piano room to have a look.

Jia Guoping nodded, Well, on the way to the piano room, I happened to pass by the big stone where you often play the flute.

...

On the way to the piano room, many students were following behind. In addition to the students who had gone to the graduation recital before, there were also some new students.

The news that Wang Zuxian and Liang Jiahui came to the school has spread in the school, so more and more people gathered around.

Seeing that something was wrong, Zhou Yan took them for a brief stroll and then left.

…

Zhou Yan went home in the evening and talked on the phone with Wang Zuxian for a while. The crew will have a break tomorrow and they made an appointment to go out for a walk together. They have not gone out alone since Wang Zuxian came to Yanjing.

Wang Zuxian was thinking about climbing the Great Wall two days ago, and Zhou Yan promised to drive her there tomorrow.

After the two talked on the phone, Zhou Yan took a shower first, and then went to the study to perfect the storyboard for The Sixth Sense. However, as soon as he sat down, the phone on the table rang.

Hello.

Xu Feng's voice came from the other end of the phone, Are you resting?

Oh, Sister Feng, no, I just took a shower. You called me now. What do you want to say?

Didn't I tell you before that there is a director in France who wants to remake The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly. The matter has been discussed.

After Xu Feng told him about this matter last time, there was no news, and Zhou Yan almost forgot about it.

It seems that Sister Feng, you are still satisfied with this director.

Olivier is a very young and talented director, and I think it is okay to hand over The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly to him.

If that's the case, then there's no problem.

Actually, there were some problems originally.

what is the problem?

Olivier's funds were insufficient. He only obtained one million US dollars in filming funds. After excluding the adaptation licensing fees and actors' remuneration, there was basically nothing left. It was difficult to make a good movie.

Insufficient funds... Zhou Yan was a little surprised. He had heard that the other party was willing to pay an adaptation licensing fee of 150,000 US dollars. There should be no problem with the funds. Unexpectedly, it was only one million US dollars.

What is the concept of one million US dollars? It is similar to the production cost of Zhou Yan's previous production of The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly.

But you should know that Zhou Yan was filmed in mainland China, and he didn't spend much money on remuneration, props, scenery, etc.

But it's different in Europe. With one million US dollars, after excluding the adaptation fee of 150,000 US dollars, there are still 850,000 US dollars left. With this amount of money, you can't even hire a well-known actor.

Moreover, the labor costs for local filming in Europe are much higher than those in the mainland. It is difficult to assemble a decent crew with this money.

Sister Feng, you said there was a problem originally, does that mean the problem is over now?

Well, it's settled. Now the whole thing is completely settled, so that's why I called you.

How to solve it?

Xu Feng said with a smile, I got him some money.

Hearing Xu Feng's words, Zhou Yan's face was full of questions. Is Xu Feng talking about the adaptation and talking about becoming an investor?

Sister Feng, how much did you invest?

I didn't invest much myself, only one million US dollars, but I got him another six million US dollars. Plus the one million US dollars he got himself before, the investment in this movie is now 800 US dollars. Thousands of dollars.”

Eight million...US dollars? Although Xu Feng couldn't see it, Zhou Yan still gave a thumbs up, Sister Feng, you have done a big thing during this time.

Isn't that a big deal? What was originally a small production worth one million US dollars was turned into a large-scale production worth eight million US dollars by Xu Feng.

The cost of US$80,000 is certainly nothing in Hollywood, but in Europe, the production cost of US$8 million is quite acceptable.

The key question is that Xu Feng only contributed one million US dollars herself, and the other six million US dollars were all borrowed. How did she do it?

Even if Xu Feng has some connections in Europe, can those investors trust a new director who has never made a movie?

Xu Feng said with a smile, If I hadn't been very rich recently, I would have wanted to invest more. I think this movie will definitely not lose money if it is made. Moreover, the production is high-end, and the post-production promotion can keep up with you. It will also be beneficial for our music album to enter Europe and the United States.

In fact, if Xu Feng asked the Tomson Group for money, she could easily get millions of dollars, but she still didn't think about it. The Tomson Film Company has been developing very well in the past two years, and she didn't want to ask for money from the group.

Originally, Xu Feng still had a lot of cash on hand. The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly and Zhou Yan's two albums helped the company earn a lot of money.

But a lot of time was spent during this period. The Sixth Sense, Tree Hole and Grown Up were three consecutive films, with a total investment of more than 20 million.

However, the company's cash situation will be much better in a while, because Farewell My Concubine is about to be released, and it will definitely be able to recover a lot of money.

Sister Feng, your investment style is really bold. Zhou Yan couldn't help but sigh again.

Isn't there a saying that scares the brave to death and starves the timid to death? How can you make money if you are not brave? At least now it seems that the movies I have invested in are all pretty good. Your The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly I won't talk about it anymore, now that Farewell My Concubine has won the grand prize, the box office will definitely not be bad.

When will the movie start shooting?

In about three months, the plan will be launched soon.

Well, that's quite fast. If the post-production process is done quickly, it will be released in the first half of next year.

The initial plan is to release it in May next year, but this is all a matter later, and the plan may not be able to keep up with changes. How are the recent preparations for The Sixth Sense? I haven't had time to care about it during this time.

Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner, the reading round has ended, and the opening ceremony will be held in two weeks.

Well, I'll go over there then. By the way, has the previous Neon program been aired?

I heard Zhang Youan say before that it seemed to be broadcast in the past two days, and I didn't pay much attention to it.

Okay, I understand, that's it. Let's not talk about it for now. The adaptation licensing fee is your part. When the money is settled, I will ask the company to call you.

no problem.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yan couldn't help but sigh, Xu Feng is really a person who does great things.

It seems that no project is too small for her. It was in her hands that the investment in Farewell My Concubine slowly increased to several million US dollars, The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly and now The Sixth Sense, If it weren't for Xu Feng, the production cost wouldn't have been so high.

If it weren't for Xu Feng, Zhou Yan wouldn't even have asked Joey Wang and Tony Leung to star.

However, from a business perspective, there is no problem with Xu Feng's approach. As long as her vision is correct, Tomson Film Company will grow bigger and bigger.

Shaking his head and smiling, Zhou Yan continued to focus on the storyboard at hand.

…

Neon, Sato Rina’s home.

Ibuki Suzune opened a can of Coke and asked, Does the show start at seven o'clock?

Well, seven o'clock, two minutes left. Sato Rina looked at her watch.

The new episode of Music House aired tonight. Sato Rina's parents went to the countryside again, so the two made an appointment to watch TV programs at Sato Rina's house.

I wonder if Tanaka and the others are watching right now. Ibuki Suzune couldn't help but muttered while staring at the TV screen.

Sato Rina understands the thoughts of her good friend very well, He and Hiramatsu-kun must be watching, maybe they are still watching together. How about... you call Tanaka's house and ask?

Ibuki Suzune waved her hand, I still don't want it.

Sato Rina knew that she didn't dare, so she was just teasing her.

She opened a pack of snacks and handed it to Ibuki Suzune, Here you go.

Ibuki Suzune had just taken a sip of coke, and now she was angry. She couldn't help but burped, Hiccup~ I still don't want to eat. I ate too much just now.

Sato Rina smiled and started moving by herself.

In order to watch the TV show, the two bought a lot of snacks, but before the TV show started, they had already eaten most of the snacks.

After two minutes, the Music House program officially started.

Host Shu Nomura appeared on the screen.

Hello everyone, welcome to Music House. I am the host Shu Nomura. You may have noticed the suitcase on my hand. You may be wondering why I bring a suitcase. In fact, the reason is very simple. Next, I will go to China to meet the interviewee of this issue - Zhou Yan. During this time, everyone should be familiar with this name. Maybe you are listening to Piano Boy or Mysterious Country in front of the TV right now. song……

After introducing Zhou Yan, the interviewee for this issue, Shu Nomura waved his hand and headed to China with the camera.

This part of the journey was also filmed, but only a dozen seconds were cut into it.

After that, the camera flashed, and Shu Nomura appeared in front of a simple gate.

What everyone sees now is where Zhou Yan works, the Central Conservatory of Music of China...

Shu Nomura introduced the history of the Central Conservatory of Music to the audience, and then told the audience about Zhou Yan’s previous study experience.

After Zhou Yan studied in the Composition Department of the Central Conservatory of Music for five years, because of his outstanding achievements, he stayed in the department to teach directly after graduation.

In front of the TV, Sato Rina stuffed snacks into her mouth and exclaimed, Wow, that's amazing.

Well, that's awesome. Tell me, what does Zhou Yan look like?

I heard that he is very young, and Tian Zhong and the others have never seen him before.

I heard it's very beautiful.

Will he look better than Sakamoto Ryuichi?

That shouldn't happen...

Just when the two of them were guessing Zhou Yan's appearance, the camera had already followed Shu Nomura to the concert hall.

Before they entered, they heard someone playing the piano inside.

Ibuki Suzune immediately recognized what the song was, This is Secret Joy.

Although Secret Joy is not long, it is very popular, even higher than Reunion. Now that Neon's domestic economy is in a downturn and social confidence is low, if you hear a song that relieves stress, you will like it very much.

The two of them stared at the screen, waiting for Zhou Yan to appear.

The photographer is quite good at setting the mood. When walking inside, he pushed in slowly.

The stage of the concert hall first appeared in the camera, with a piano on it. From their perspective, the piano player was blocked by the piano, with only the top of his head exposed.

Then the camera continued to go inside, and the audience finally saw Zhou Yan's face.

Hiss~

Sato Rina suddenly turned to look at Ibuki Suzune next to her, Is this Shu Yan?

probably?

Although she said so, Ibuki Suzune herself couldn't believe it. Is Zhou Yan even better looking than Sakamoto Ryuichi?

Zhou Yan on the stage stopped playing the piano at this time, slowly walked down the stage, and greeted Nomura Shu and others.

The translation confirmed that the young and handsome man in front of him was Zhou Yan, and Sato Rina patted the tatami excitedly.

Zhou Yan is better looking than the version of Long Yi.

His eyes are beautiful.

He's so tall.

Nomura Hide is of medium height, only a little over 1.7 meters tall. He is not short for Neon, but he looks smaller when standing in front of Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan not only has a good-looking face, but also has a very good figure. He has the image of a completely handsome man.

Seeing the stars in Sato Rina's eyes, Ibuki Suzuki teased her, Which one do you think is better looking, Shu Yan or Kimura?

She was talking about Kimura Takuya, a member of the boy band Smap. Sato Rina particularly likes this group...or in other words, she particularly likes Kimura Takuya.

Sato Rina thought about it seriously and said, The styles are different. Kimura is more ruffian, and Zhou Yan is more elegant. So who do you think is better looking, Zhou Yan or Tanaka?

This question immediately made Ibuki Suzune's face turn red. She whispered, Their styles are also different...

Rationally speaking, Tanakamaji is definitely not as good-looking as Shu Yan, but in Ibuki Suzune's eyes, Tanakamaji is different from others.

Hahaha. Seeing that Ibuki Suzune was amused by him, Sato Rina laughed wantonly.

The next step of the program is for the host Hide Nomura to chat face to face with Zhou Yan.

Among the questions asked by Nomura Shu, Sato and the others were most interested in the time of Shu Yan's concert and the release time of the next album.

The answers to these two questions made them very happy.

Especially when they heard that the theme of Zhou Yan's concert in Neon at the end of the year was Oriental Heritage and it was related to folk music, they clapped their hands excitedly.

We can go see it together then.

Well, let's call Tian Zhong and the others.

I just don't know the specific time and show. How can I buy tickets? Can I buy tickets over the phone?

We may hear a new album in the first half of next year. I don't know what the theme of the new album will be.

Any theme is fine, as long as the music is good.

…

After the face-to-face interview was over, Zhou Yan took Shu Nomura around the school.

This session is very short, only two or three minutes in total.

After leaving school, they went to the filming location of The Sixth Sense.

When Joey Wong appeared, their expressions were exactly the same as Shu Nomura's.

What, Joey Wong is actually in Zhou Yan's new movie?

At this moment, many viewers in front of the TV had their mouths open. They had never associated Zhou Yan with Wang Zuxian before. Even though Zhou Yan filmed The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly, everyone still subconsciously thought that he was a musician. After all, His current job is as a teacher at a music conservatory.

In addition, in fact, most Neon viewers think that the film industry in Hong Kong and mainland China are two different things. Zhou Yan and Wang Zuxian are like two worlds apart.

…

When Wang Zuxian appeared in the camera, Ping Song and Guang were all on top of the TV, unwilling to move their eyes for a moment. Wang Zuxian was her favorite foreign female star.

He never expected to see Wang Zuxian in Zhou Yan's interview program.

Joey Wong is actually going to star in Zhou Yan's new movie?

You must watch this movie.

Seeing the excitement of Hiramatsu and Hiro, Tanaka Maji couldn't help but curled his lips, I can't watch TV anymore.

Pinsong and Guang apologized quickly, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm just too excited. Wang Zuxian is so good-looking. Tian Zhong, let's go watch a movie together then.

The filming of this movie has not started yet, and I don't know when it will be released.

If you film it now, can it still be released by the end of the year?

Tanakamaji thought for a while and said, It's difficult. It should be released in China first, and then it will be released in Neon after a while. The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly is half a year later than in China. What?

Hiramatsu and Hiro shook their heads, It's hard to say, because The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly did well at the box office, so it must be released earlier.

Nakama Er shrugged and said, I'm more concerned about whether the new movie has a good soundtrack. I don't know if the soundtrack will be released when the movie is released.

Well, maybe the new album Zhou Yan mentioned is related to the new movie, just like The Piano Boy.

Tian Zhongmao nodded. He felt that Hiramatsu and Guang's guesses were reasonable.

After a round of interviews with the crew of The Sixth Sense, Shu Nomura said goodbye to Zhou Yan.

Seeing Zhou Yan leave, Tian Nakamaji was a little surprised, I remember that the duration of Music House is not about forty minutes? It's only half an hour and it's over?

Hiramatsu Kazuhiro was also quite surprised. He had watched several episodes of the Music House program, and each episode lasted about forty minutes. None of them were this short.

I looked at the time again and confirmed that it was only half past seven.

He still felt that he was still unsatisfied and wished he could get into the TV and let Shu Nomura bring Joey back for a chat. Joey Wang is so beautiful. She seems to be more beautiful than when the Shiseido advertisement first came out. How can she get better and better as she fights?

Just when the two were confused, Shu Nomura on the TV smiled at the camera and said, Don't worry, everyone, there is a surprise at the end of the show.

As soon as the host finished speaking, the scene cut back to the concert hall, where Shu Nomura and Zhou Yan were chatting face to face.

Shu Nomura: Can you tell us about your new song?

Zhou Yan: Actually, I have a video tape of my improvisation. If you are interested, I can make a copy for you.

Nomura Shu said in surprise, Really?

Zhou Yan: Of course, there are two new songs in it, one I composed before, and the other I improvised at that time.

This clip is like an introduction, and after it ends, it switches to another scene.

In the camera, the first thing Tanakamaji and the others saw was a mountain, and then they heard the sound of a flute in the distance, which turned out to be Forever Together.

Then the camera slowly moved forward, and Tanakamaji and the others noticed three figures from behind in the picture.

The person in the middle is sitting in a wheelchair, the person on the left is sitting on a tree stump, and there is a person sitting on a stone mill holding a flute.

Although there was only one figure from behind, Tian Zhongjian Er and the others recognized that the flute player was Zhou Yan.

The song Forever Together that I am playing is very different from the version in the Piano Boy album. The bamboo flute solo gives people a more melodious and comfortable feeling. Coupled with the beautiful scenery in front of me, it makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Listening to the music, Hiramatsuka couldn't help but wonder, Why does the tone and composition of this section feel different from what the program crew shot?

What's the difference? Tian Nakamaji asked. He actually felt that the picture was a little different, but he didn't know much about the color tone, composition, etc., and he didn't know what was different.

Hiramatsu and Hiro pointed to the TV screen and said, Look at the composition of this section, the three people and the mountain are in just the right position. The mountain is obviously the most conspicuous thing on the picture, but these three people cannot be ignored. The three people are in the The middle of the picture is towards the lower right, which will make the mountain appear far away, and the path between the people and the mountain is exactly on the diagonal of the picture...

After Hiramatsu and Hiroshi analyzed it, Tanakamaji found the feeling, especially that the path was really on the diagonal of the picture.

Originally, in the picture, the people and the mountains were actually on the same plane, but with this path, the distance between the mountains and the people was more concrete.

A good picture should show more things in the three-dimensional space. Obviously this set of shots does it, so this shot gives people the feeling of being in a movie. This set of shots was definitely not shot by the program team.

Tian Zhongmao twitched his lips, Of course it wasn't filmed by the program team. Didn't Zhou Yan say before that it was their own videotape?

...

In the picture, Zhou Yan played two more pieces of music, paused for a moment, seemed to say a few words to the two people next to him, and then started playing again.

This time, after the music came out, Hiramatsu and Guang patted their thighs.

New tune!

This is not only a new song, but also a song in the same style as Memory of the Forbidden City and The Great Wall.

I'm so happy!

Hiramatsu and Hiro covered their heads with exaggerated expressions.

Just now they were thinking about when they could hear the new songs from the new album, but unexpectedly they heard a new song.

This new song has a strong sense of history. Although it is not as grand as Memory of the Forbidden City and The Great Wall, the time flies and the feeling of dynasty change is more obvious.

If the previous two songs took the audience to the Forbidden City and the Great Wall in ancient times and admired the magnificence of these two buildings, then this new song is like taking them through time and space, watching the rise and fall of past dynasties. Change.

Tanakamaji remained silent at this time because he was completely immersed in the music.

The sound of the flute in the wilderness is naturally not as good as the sound quality of the recorded version. Occasionally, you can hear some faint chirping of insects, birds, and even the sound of people talking, but these sounds not only do not affect the atmosphere, but add to it. Interesting.

After the song ended, Tanakamaji let out a long sigh of relief. The performance just now was so enjoyable.

At this time, Zhou Yan in the camera was about to put away the flute, but the guy sitting on the tree stump seemed to say something to Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan smiled and actually raised the flute again.

This time Hiramatsu and Hiro are ready for the next new song.

When the flute sounded, the two of them widened their eyes. Sure enough, it was a new song.

Compared with the previous song, this song is more relaxed and innocent.

The first section is like flowing water, the second section is as light as the wind, the third section is as intense as fire, and the fourth section is like a gentle breeze when the fire dissipates.

The whole song is compact and clear, reminding Tanakamaji of ignorant love, while Hiramatsu and Hiroshi thought of the situation when they skipped class before, which is completely consistent with the mood of this song.

After the song ended, the screen cut to the studio of Music House.

Shu Nomura has changed his clothes and is sitting in the studio.

The last two songs that appeared were Zhou Yan's new songs. The first one was called Distant Journey and the second one was called Borrowing Cucumbers. It is said that the second song was improvised by Zhou Yan on the spot.

After hearing Nomura Shu's introduction, Hiramatsu and Hiroshi wondered, Borrow a Cucumber? Did the host say it wrong, or was it a translation problem? Why does it sound so weird?

Tian Zhongmao scratched his head, Maybe 'borrowing cucumber' is an allusion in China? There are many allusions in China.

Hiramatsu and Guang nodded. He felt that what Tian Zhongmaer said was very reasonable. There are many allusions in ancient China. If you don't understand Chinese culture, you will not be able to understand these allusions.

Even though the words borrow cucumber seem strange and simple, it is definitely an allusion and contains very rich information.

Who were those two people sitting next to Zhou Yan just now? The camera didn't cut to show us.

It seems that the improvisation of the last song was related to the man sitting on the tree stump. Zhou Yan was originally ready to end it, but the man said a few words to him before Zhou Yan continued.

As if aware of Hiramatsu and Hiroshi's doubts, Hide Nomura on the TV said with a smile, The people who appeared on the screen with Zhou Yan just now are two very well-known writers in China, Shi Tiesheng and Yu Hua. You may be wondering why Zhou Yan With two writers, the answer is that Zhou Yan is also a writer. Only when I went to China this time did I know that Zhou Yan is also a very famous writer. The film adaptation of his novel Tree Hole has been filmed and he directed the film The director is also the very famous Chinese director Wu Ziniu, and the place that just appeared in the picture is the filming location of the movie.

Pingsong Heguang and Tian Zhong looked at each other. Zhou Yan is actually a well-known writer?

They believed that Shu Nomura was not telling lies because all of Zhou Yan's novels were adapted into movies.

Hiramatsu and Hiroshi scratched their heads, Am I going to follow Zhou Yan's novels after music and movies?
