1990: Starting from Baojia Street

The two concerts following Yanjing Silence were quickly decided. The two extra concerts were still at the Yanjing Concert Hall, and the dates were the same two days that Zhou Yan had mentioned before.

CCTV was obviously more experienced this time. On the night when the matter was just settled, The Hourly News reported the news that Yenjing Silence would be added to the Yanjing Concert Hall. The two concerts were one after the other. for a week, but tickets go on sale at the same time.

The reason why it goes on sale at the same time is that we hope to leave more time for ticket sales for the second show. After all, it may be harder to sell tickets for the second show because many people have watched it before.

But the day after the news was broadcast, a total of 1,600 export tickets for the two concerts were sold out, which once again shocked Yang Dongsheng and the others.

This time, CCTV didn’t want to subsidize any more money, so it set the ticket price much higher than before. This time the ticket price ranged from 600 yuan to 1,000 yuan. The average ticket price was 800 yuan, which was the first More than twice the price of a ticket.

But even with such a high ticket price, 1,600 tickets still didn't last a day.

Yang Dongsheng and the others couldn't help but sigh, are there so many rich people now? Concert tickets with an average price of 800 are sold out in one day?

Even in a place like Yanjing, the average monthly salary of employees is only about 400 yuan, and a concert hall ticket costs an ordinary person two months' salary.

But Yang Dongsheng and the others soon figured out that those who could go to the concert were not ordinary families.

Yang Dongsheng recalled the first time he met Zhou Yan. They ate hundreds of dollars in one meal. For people like them, 800 yuan for a concert ticket was not too much.

But what Yang Dongsheng and the others did not expect was that most of the more than 1,600 tickets did not reach the real audience at the first time, but were snatched away by scalpers.

Many real spectators went to the ticket office and were told that they had no tickets, but they could see scalpers roaming the scene.

A ticket worth 600 can be sold by scalpers for 1,000, while a ticket worth 1,000 can be sold for 1,600 or 700. If there are multiple consecutive tickets, the price is even higher.

And this was the price at the beginning. Later, the scalpers found that the tickets in their hands were very easy to sell, so they raised the price. A ticket of 600 was sold for 1,200, and a ticket of 1,000 was sold for 2,000. Basically, the price Doubled.

But even so, all the tickets in the hands of scalpers were sold before the performance.

CCTV is also very troubled by this situation. When they set the ticket price before, they also thought about setting it higher, but they were afraid that if it was set too high, no audience would be willing to pay.

The average ticket price is 800, which CCTV already thinks is quite high.

It can only be said that although CCTV has gained some experience after the last concert, the experience is still not enough, and their prediction of the market situation of Zhou Yan's concert is not enough.

In fact, there are three main reasons for the good performance of this concert. First, Zhou Yan's album must have sold well overseas, which is very attractive to domestic people. They say that foreign monks like to chant sutras. Although Zhou Yan He is not a foreign monk, but he can be considered a monk certified overseas.

Second, CCTV has given publicity to it. Although the ratings of The Hourly News are constantly falling, which is very miserable, it is a CCTV program after all. There are not many viewers watching this program, but it is only compared to other CCTV programs. It's just relatively few.

Third, there are fewer concerts and fewer seats in the concert hall. There are only three concerts in total, and the total number of export tickets sold is only 2,000, which is the same as the number of export tickets sold for the previous concerts in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Things are more expensive when they are rare, so the price goes up.

If the Yanjing Concert Hall can accommodate two to three thousand people, and the three concerts have sold six to seven thousand tickets, then the tickets in the hands of scalpers will definitely not be so easy to sell.

…

Zhou Yan didn't pay much attention to the ticket sales. He was extremely busy these days, working a lot every day and going on a blind date.

Basically, he had to meet two girls in three days, but Zhou Yan went with the mentality of completing the task. He had a meal with the girl and had a brief chat, and that was it.

In fact, these girls may not be willing to go on a blind date.

Even if Zhou Yan is outstanding and good-looking, they don't expect to be able to fall in love with Zhou Yan all at once, so they come to meet Zhou Yan to complete the task.

Let's just say that Zhan Qin, the granddaughter of Minister Zhan's family, has not yet graduated from Renmin University and has never thought about getting married. She was completely forced by her family.

Therefore, in these blind dates, everyone was happy to cooperate. The girls also behaved appropriately. They also knew that even if they couldn't be husband and wife with Zhou Yan, they could still be friends in the future. In the circle, these were all connections.

The old lady was a little worried when she saw that Zhou Yan had met several girls in a row but had no intention of further development. She was worried that Zhou Yan, like his eldest grandson Zhou Yu, had met dozens of girls. Not only would there be no results, but in the end, others might not dare to help. Introduction, so it stopped.

As for Zhou Yan's statement that he had a partner, the old lady didn't believe it at all.

…

For the second concert, Zhou Yan kept some tickets for the front show and gave them to his friends. Yu Hua, Shi Tiesheng and his wife, and Dong Wenmiao all had tickets.

In addition, he also left two tickets for Zhou, allowing the company to distribute them themselves.

Zhou set up an office in Yanjing, which was located in the original production office of The Sixth Sense. He also sent two employees there to deal with the work of his actors and musicians.

However, these two tickets did not fall on these two employees. One was sent to No. 43 Baojia Street and was given to Zhao Muyang, and the other was given to Chen Hong.

The concerts previously recorded by CCTV have not yet been broadcast. They plan to wait until all three concerts are recorded, then cut into one program and broadcast together, so CCTV will also send a team to record the second concert on site.

The company asked Chen Hong to come here because it wanted her to show her face, which would be beneficial to her future development.

Chen Hong is also quite smart. Before the performance, she even went backstage to visit the class.

In fact, it is quite reasonable for Chen Hong to go backstage to visit Zhou Yan's class. Although the idea of ​​a certain girl is not fashionable in China, if there are Yan girls, then Chen Hong can barely be regarded as one of the Yan girls , because she starred in Tree Hole, for which Zhou Yan was the original author and screenwriter.

The CCTV cameraman was also very keen. When he saw a beautiful woman coming, he followed and took a lot of shots. Zhou Yan also took advantage of the opportunity to introduce Chen Hong and also promoted the movie Tree Hole.

Ni Ping, who was in charge of the interview, suddenly realized that Zhou Yan was still a writer, so she quickly asked a few more questions, Teacher Zhou, the movie Tree Hole is your own novel, and you wrote the script yourself. This should be your Is this your first time participating in the production of a movie in such a capacity?

Zhou Yan nodded, This is indeed the first time that the original author has added a screenwriter.

“Is The Hole in the Tree your first novel to be adapted into a film?”

That's not true. There is another film called Knife in Clear Water that has been filmed but has not been released yet.

Knife in Clear Water was filmed last summer, was completed in the fall, and was edited this spring.

Originally, the movie was expected to be released in September, but the review of the finished film was delayed. It would take several months for this to happen. Now, under the current situation, it will not be released until the end of the year at the earliest.

The last time Zhou Yan talked to Huang Jianxin on the phone, they talked about this matter. Huang Jianxin's attitude was quite good. After all, they were used to it. For this kind of film, it is common practice for this kind of film to be stuck when the script is reviewed, and again when the movie is shot.

If any movie is not blocked, they are really not used to it.

Among the directors of their Chang'an Studio who have not been blocked, even Zhang Yimou is also a big one.

Ni Ping asked a few more questions about The Knife in Clear Water, but did not ask in depth. Later, she asked about Farewell My Concubine.

When she mentioned Farewell My Concubine, Zhou Yan was not surprised at all.

Yu Gong, the movie Farewell My Concubine is now in its prime. Bringing this topic can arouse the audience's interest. Moreover, Zhou Yan is one of the film's soundtrack directors, which is also related to the theme of the concert.

Personally, Ni Ping is Chen Kaige's girlfriend, so it's understandable that she mentions her boyfriend's movies.

Farewell My Concubine has now aroused a very enthusiastic response at home and abroad, and the soundtrack in the movie has also been highly praised both inside and outside the industry. As one of the soundtrack directors for this movie, can you talk about the soundtrack for this movie? What is your mental journey?

Zhou Yan: The soundtrack for this film was completed by myself and teacher Zhao Jiping. When we determined the soundtrack, we had the same idea. We both believed that the dramatic theme of the film should be reflected in the soundtrack, so we used There are a lot of opera elements, and most of the melodies are based on Xipi, Erhuang or Siping tunes.

Then have you ever considered putting the soundtrack from Farewell My Concubine onto the stage?

Most of the soundtracks in this movie are short and fast. It might be a little troublesome to put it on the stage, but it's not completely impossible. If there are concerts in the future, I might consider stringing the soundtracks into a suite.

In fact, Zhou Yan had planned before that when he went to Neon for a concert, he could play the music from Farewell My Concubine as a small surprise during the encore.

If it can really be realized, I believe that the fans of Farewell My Concubine will definitely be very happy. You just mentioned future concerts. As far as I know, at the end of this year you will take the Piano Youth Orchestra to Neon After holding the Oriental Legacy themed concert, have you considered holding concerts in other countries, such as Europe and the United States?

There are no plans for this at the moment, but when the time comes, there will be a world tour concert. My job is as a teacher at Yangyin. I can't travel around the world like other musicians every day, and I have to make time for concerts. Held.”

Ni Ping nodded, Yes, I understand. In addition to being an excellent musician, you are also a very powerful director. You must be very busy at work. I believe that the audience is also looking forward to your new movie The Sixth. feel.

…

After chatting with Zhou Yan for a while, Ni Ping took the photographer out of the backstage.

After Ni Ping and the others left, Zhou Yan looked at Chen Hong again, How is the filming of the TV series going?

It will be over in a month or two. Chen Hong replied.

Zhou Yan nodded, The company is receiving a new script for you. After the filming of this TV series is completed, you have to prepare a new work.

Chen Hong blinked, Is it a movie or a TV series?

They should all be available. It's up to you to choose one when the time comes.

Thank you, Director Zhou.

Zhou Yan waved his hand, No need to thank me, you signed a contract with the company, and the company will certainly not let you idle.

Chen Hong smiled and clenched her fists, Don't worry, Director Zhou, I will definitely work hard to make money for the company.

Zhou Yan looked at his watch and said, It's getting late. You can go to the front. We're getting ready to go on stage.

clear.

Not long after Chen Hong left, the band began to prepare to go on stage.

Today's audience all bought their own tickets, so they were very enthusiastic. When the musicians came on stage, the volume of applause reached full volume.

The program for the second show was almost the same as the first show. Only two songs were different. This time Zhou Yan added Secret Fragrance Floating and Eternal Night. Because these two songs were added, the overall difficulty It has also improved a lot.

However, because of The Fragrance Floating, Zhou Yan appeared one more time, and the bamboo flute part of this piece was very dazzling, so the atmosphere at the scene was even more lively.

Many people came to see Zhou Yan, so they were naturally excited to see Zhou Yan show off his skills.

There are still four encores today, and the repertoire is exactly the same as last time.

But in the end, when playing The Street Where the Wind Lives, Zhou Yan mentioned Yu Hua, and the cameras at the scene also gave Yu Hua some shots.

When the concert ended, Zhou Yan and the others were not in a hurry to leave.

This time, CCTV had gained experience and had cleared the venue outside in advance. Then Zhou Yan took some musicians to perform three songs for the audience outside, namely The Street Where the Wind Lives and The Fragrance Floating. ” and “The Great Wall.”

The number of spectators gathered outside the concert hall today was even larger than that of the previous performance. Including the spectators who had left the concert hall, it was estimated that there were nearly two thousand people.

Many people waited outside the concert hall for several hours. In the end, their waiting was not in vain. When Zhou Yan came to join the performance, they were even more excited because of the several hours of waiting. They even applauded more than the audience inside the concert hall. Work harder.

The next day, the concert was reported by many media.

There has never been such a popular concert in the mainland before, and it also refreshed many people's understanding.

Yanjing TV even spent ten minutes talking about the two concerts of Yanjing Silence, and at the end of the program, they directly used the Zhou Yan Phenomenon to describe the grand occasion of these two concerts.

After all, it was a concert organized by CCTV, and the scene was really popular, and all the media were hyping it.

Most of the media are reporting it normally, and some are reporting it outrageously. When Yanjing TV Station described the scene outside the second performance of Yanjing Silence, it said that nearly two thousand enthusiastic music fans gathered in the cool breeze Waiting in the middle is an accurate description, but some tabloids simply wrote thousands of fans.

Such a simple change gives people a completely different feeling.

Because of the publicity from so many media, the tickets for the third concert became more popular, and many scalpers even began to charge high prices for the tickets and then resell them.

This time, some tickets were even sold for nearly 3,000 yuan.

But that's just an extreme phenomenon. Under normal circumstances, tickets originally worth one thousand yuan are sold for around two thousand five thousand yuan.

There are even more outrageous ones.

In the first two concerts, there were only scalpers selling tickets, but in the third concert, there were actually a large number of vendors selling pirated albums walking among the crowd outside the concert hall.

That evening, as soon as Luo Zisong arrived outside the concert hall, a middle-aged man carrying a bag sneakily approached him.

Young man, do you want Zhou Yan's album? There are both Piano Boy and Mysterious Country, not only on tapes, but also on CDs.

As he spoke, the middle-aged man opened his bag and showed it to Luo Zisong.

Luo Zisong looked inside curiously and saw that the bag was filled with various tapes and CDs, which was dizzying.

Before Luo Zisong could speak, the middle-aged man added, There is also Anita Mui's new album. There are two songs in it written by Zhou Yan.

Luo Zisong raised his eyebrows, I already have these.

The one you bought must be a pirated version. This is the genuine one.

Luo Zisong rolled his eyes. Although he didn't look carefully, but at a casual glance, the covers of these albums were not quite right. And did the original albums need to be so sneaky?

I have it. Luo Zisong repeated it again.

Seeing that Luo Zisong didn't want it, the middle-aged man curled his lips and didn't waste time on him, and hurriedly went to find the next target.

Looking at the back of the middle-aged man, Luo Zisong also sighed secretly, these people are really good at running a business, and he doesn't know if anyone will buy it... Yeah, someone does buy it. The middle-aged man just walked up to another person, After a few words, a deal was made and the other party bought a tape.

Luo Zisong shook his head again. It seemed that the market for piracy was still huge.

After observing these vendors for a while, Luo Zisong found a deserted place to sit down.

He didn't have a ticket today, but he came over anyway, thinking he could listen outside and wait until the concert was over, maybe there would be an extra performance.

He came on the first day when tickets were released for the next two concerts, but when he went to the ticket booth, he was told that the tickets had been sold out.

He also thought about getting a scalper ticket, but after asking several scalpers, none of the cheapest tickets were less than 1,000, so he gave up.

After a while, Luo Zisong was in a daze when he suddenly heard a commotion not far away. When he looked over, he saw a group of people gathered together, and the quarrel was nowhere to be seen.

Then someone shouted.

Don't fight.

He killed someone.

Killed someone?

Luo Zisong was startled and ran over to take a look. When he squeezed into the crowd, he found two men fighting on the ground. People around him were shouting not to fight, but no one stepped forward to start a fight.

Moreover, many of the people who tried to stop the fight were red-faced and excited. They shouted Don't fight, but the emotions revealed in their voices were more like cheering for these two people.

The two backpacks on the ground, as well as the pirated tapes and CDs scattered from the backpacks, showed their identities. They were both vendors selling pirated albums.

Seeing the situation in front of him and combining it with the comments of the people next to him, Luo Zisong suddenly understood what was going on.

The two hawkers were competing for business. One of the hawkers competed maliciously with low prices, while the other hawker was so angry that he cursed. Later, the scolding battle escalated into a physical fight.

Just when the situation was about to escalate, two policemen came over shouting.

Police, get out of the way.

As soon as they heard that the police were coming, the crowd automatically gave way.

The two vendors were so full of adrenaline that they were all focused on each other. They didn't even notice the police coming, and they were still fighting.

The younger policeman went up and grabbed the two men's arms, shouting Police, stop fighting, but neither of them let go.

The older policeman ran over and picked up the two bags on the ground. Whose pirated albums do they belong to? They have been confiscated.

As soon as the goods were about to be confiscated, the two hawkers quickly gave up and stood up without caring whether they would suffer a loss or not.

Officer, these are all genuine albums.

Whether it is genuine or not, let me go back to the station and tell you.

After saying that, the elderly policeman carried the bag and walked forward.

The young policeman followed behind and said to the onlookers, It's okay. Let's all disperse.

After the police and the vendors left, the crowd was still discussing what had just happened.

Good boy, we can fight these pirate vendors.

The attack was really ruthless. If there were not police nearby to maintain order, people might have died.

Yeah, the police came very quickly.

…

Luo Zisong listened to their discussion and felt that they felt sorry for the police arriving so quickly.

After a while, several reporters came and asked people about what had just happened.

These reporters were even more regretful than the onlookers for not being able to rush to the scene immediately and take photos.

An old man was dragged into an interview by a reporter. He was also very excited and described to the reporters what had just happened.

The one in the denim jacket made the first move, using the black tiger move to rip out the heart, and then the leather jacket fell to the ground.

The leather jacket was attacked by a sneak attack. Naturally, he refused to accept it. He didn't get up from lying on the ground and just swept the denim jacket down with a seventy-two kick.

It's too late to say it, but it will be soon...

The uncle talked so eloquently that the reporters were also a little confused.

Did a duel take place here just now?

But regardless of the specific situation at the scene, a conflict is certain, and reporters are very excited because they have more material.

After the third concert, the news about the concert suddenly changed drastically.

A few days ago, the media reported that the concert was lively, talking about how many people were there and how high the ticket prices were. This time, the angle has completely changed, and they have begun to engage in some side affairs, such as fights between pirate vendors and scalpers forming gangs. Monopoly, the audience will get cold after waiting too long...

There was nothing that could be done about it, because all the serious reports had been reported before. This time, the newspapers showed their magic and began to dig deeper into the concert scene.

Zhou Yan also found it funny when he saw these news. Once a certain incident reaches a certain level, there will be all kinds of strange developments.

He just ignored the news and didn't take it seriously.

After the three concerts, he will devote more energy to the post-production of The Sixth Sense.

During this period, although he was busy with concerts, the post-production work of The Sixth Sense did not fall behind much, and the editing work of the film was also in good progress.

…

When Zhao Jiping was preparing for his concert at home, he suddenly received a call from Chang'an Studio.

It was the director of the factory, Li Xudong, who called, saying that the director of Xiangjiang, Zhou Xingchi, was here and wanted to see him and asked if he had time.

Hearing that it was Zhou Xingchi who wanted to find him, Zhao Jiping wondered, What does he want to find me for?

Director Zhou is collaborating with our studio on a new movie and wants you to help them score it.

Zhao Jiping frowned, Director Li, Director Zhou's movie is not suitable for me.

Stephen Chow's movies are all nonsensical comedies, and Zhao Jiping didn't think he was suitable.

Teacher Zhao, don't refuse in a hurry. Why don't you meet and have a chat first before making a decision?

Hearing what Li Xudong said, Zhao Jiping nodded and said, Okay, let's meet.

Then I ask Director Zhou to go to your house to find you?

No, I'll go to the factory in the afternoon.

Okay, then we'll wait for you in the factory.

After hanging up the phone with Li Xudong, Zhao Jiping sighed helplessly. He really didn't want to see him.

But now that Li Xudong has spoken, it is indeed difficult to offend him.

…

In the afternoon, Zhao Jiping rode to Chang'an Studio and met Stephen Chow and Caixing Company's general manager Yang Guohui.

When they saw Zhao Jiping, both of them were very polite, and Yang Guohui also praised Zhao Jiping.

However, Zhao Jiping directly stated that he is not suitable for comedy music.

Yang Guohui originally thought that the matter should be quite simple, but he did not expect that Zhao Jiping's attitude would be so determined.

Mr. Zhao, don't worry about the reward. I will never treat you badly.

Hearing Yang Guohui talk about remuneration, Zhao Jiping frowned, It's not about remuneration. I really have no experience scoring comedy films.

Yang Guohui and Zhou Xingchi looked at each other, and the latter said, How about Mr. Zhao, would you like to read the script first?

Zhou Xingchi was very confident in the script. He felt that Zhao Jiping would definitely change his mind after reading the script.

Hearing what Zhou Xingchi said, Zhao Jiping could only nod, Then let's read the script first.

Although Zhou Xingchi is very famous, in Zhao Jiping's eyes, he is just a comedian, nothing special.

The reason why Zhao Jiping was willing to come was because of the reputation of Chang'an Studio. He has a deep friendship with Chang'an Studio and they have had many wonderful cooperations.

Then Zhou Xingchi took out the script and showed it to Zhao Jiping.

After getting the script, the more Zhao Jiping read it, the more his eyebrows furrowed. He had no idea what the script was about. It was a mess, the story didn't connect at all, and he was confused by many of the lines.

After reading the script, under the expectant eyes of Zhou Xingchi and others, Zhao Jiping shook his head, Sorry, I can't take on this job.

Upon hearing this, the two people's originally expectant looks turned into disappointment.

Zhou Xingchi wanted to say something else, but Zhao Jiping sighed and said, You two, I still have something to do in my unit, so I have to go back.

After that, he said something to Li Xudong, stood up and left.

After Zhao Jiping left, Yang Guohui looked at Zhou Xingchi who looked disappointed and said, How about we change to a music director?

Zhou Xingchi shook his head, I want to try again.

…

In the next two days, Zhou Xingchi called Zhao Jiping every day, trying to persuade Zhao Jiping.

Zhao Jiping was also a little annoyed by Zhou Xingchi, so he said, Director Zhou, there are so many musicians in the world, why do you have to find me?

Because I really like your music, especially the soundtrack in Farewell My Concubine.

Hearing Zhou Xingchi mention Farewell My Concubine, Zhao Jiping suddenly laughed, Then you can ask Zhou Yan. The soundtrack of Farewell My Concubine was made by me and Zhou Yan. Whatever I can do, he can do it too. . And Zhou Yan also starred in your Xiangjiang movie Green Snake, he should be more suitable than me.

But Zhou Yan's experience is still not as rich as yours.

In fact, Zhou Xingchi really considered Zhou Yan, because the soundtrack directors of Farewell My Concubine have two names: Zhao Jiping and Zhou Yan.

But after weighing the situation, Zhou Xingchi still chose Zhao Jiping because he believed that Zhao Jiping had more experience.

Red Sorghum, Yellow Earth, Raise the Red Lantern, Farewell My Concubine, each movie is Zhao Jiping's signature, and the soundtrack style of these movies is also the same as Zhou Xingchi wanted.

As for Zhou Yan, there are too few films for which he has independently provided soundtrack guidance, and his style is not so consistent with what Zhou Xingchi wants.

Director Zhou, you underestimate Zhou Yan too much. His talent is beyond your imagination. Have you read the news in the past two days? Zhou Yan successfully held three concerts in Yanjing, and each one caused a sensation. I suggest you Go and listen to all his music, and you will find that his styles are very diverse.

At this time, Zhou Xingchi was a little persuaded by Zhao Jiping, mainly because Zhao Jiping's attitude was too firm and there was no hope of persuasion. If Zhao Jiping couldn't persuade, then Zhou Yan was indeed the best choice.

When Zhou Xingchi didn't speak, Zhao Jiping knew there was something going on. He struck while the iron was hot and said, Zhou Yan is going to hold a concert in Neon in the winter. He is very famous in Neon. If he serves as the soundtrack director for your new movie, he might open up new opportunities for you. Neon Market will help.”

I have to say that Zhao Jiping's move was very powerful, and it immediately reached Zhou Xingchi's heart.

Let me ask, which director doesn’t want to expand overseas markets?

After pondering for a while, Zhou Xingchi said, Then can you give me Zhou Yan's contact information?

No problem. Do you have a pen and paper on hand? Take a note.

Well, wait a minute.

After Zhou Xingchi finished writing down the number, Zhao Jiping said with a smile, Director Zhou, I wish you immediate success.

Thank you.

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Jiping also breathed a sigh of relief. He was really annoyed by Zhou Xingchi. Now that he was leaving the burden to Zhou Yan, he felt much more relaxed.

Zhou Yan, Zhou Yan, don't blame me for being unjust. There is really nothing I can do.

…

Ah sneeze——

Zhou Yan was writing the soundtrack for The Sixth Sense in the piano room when he suddenly sneezed. He rubbed his nose and said to himself that it had been getting dryer and dryer in the past two days, and his nose and throat were itchy.

After a while, the phone in the living room rang. He put down his pen and stood up to answer it.

Hello.

Hello, is this Zhou Yan? came a Mandarin voice with a strong fragrance from the other side.

Well, I am, who are you?

I'm Zhou Xingchi.

Zhou Yan thought he heard wrongly, Who?

Zhou, Xing, Chi. Zhou Xingchi recited his name word by word. He thought his accent was too strong and Zhou Yan didn't hear it clearly.

Oh, Director Zhou, what do you want from me? Zhou Yan asked curiously.

I have a new movie and I'd like to invite you to be the soundtrack director.

Zhou Yan narrowed his eyes and asked, What kind of movie?

It's related to Journey to the West, but the story has to be subverted. The name of our movie is Journey to the West.

Zhou Yan twitched his lips when he heard that Zhou Xingchi asked him to be the star of Westward Journey, how could Zhou Xingchi ask him to be the star of this movie?

Zhou Yan quickly thought about it in his mind, does he have any works that are very suitable for this movie?

And he remembered that the soundtrack for this movie was by Zhao Jiping.

Director Zhou, where are you now?

I'm here in Chang'an.

As soon as he heard that Zhou Xingchi was in Chang'an, Zhou Yan asked, Then why don't you go find Zhao Jiping?

Hearing Zhou Yan's words, Zhou Xingchi rolled his eyes very big. What's going on with these musicians? Why do they want to pass the work to others?

Or do they really look down on their own film style?
