1990: Starting from Baojia Street

Liang Guangjiang watched from the sidelines as Zhou Yan played against their leader Yang, and was extremely excited.

After a while, Zhou Yan changed The Street Where the Wind Lives into another song, and also added some plots to the script written by Captain Yang, and then the new song fit perfectly with the new script.

Is this a genius musician?

No, it’s not just a musician. Zhou Yan’s production ability is all-round, not just in music. Zhou Yan can not only make up stories based on music, but also write music based on stories.

Liang Guangjiang suddenly remembered Zhou Yan's other identity, director.

Someone who can make a movie like The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly is indeed extraordinary. Thinking about the music in the movie, Zhou Yan's talent is overflowing.

At this moment, Yang Qiang is completely immersed in the creation of new songs.

Although the creation of this new piece of music had nothing to do with him, under Zhou Yan's guidance, the piece gradually became fuller between the erhu and the bamboo flute from scratch. This feeling made him addicted.

Yang Qiang has been playing erhu for decades. In addition to playing, he also tries to create, and occasionally produces some works that he feels quite satisfied with.

But at this moment, he thought about the works he had created before, and suddenly felt a little ashamed of himself. Composition is really something that requires talent. Some geniuses have a little talent in their fingers, which is enough for ordinary people to pursue it for a lifetime.

Yang Qiang thought that he would never be able to write these two pieces of music that Zhou Yan had adapted.

Musicians like Zhou Yan have played the notes to a state where they seem to listen to him and can be used as he wishes.

Unlike them, when making music, you may have to hold in a few notes for a long time. When a piece of music is written, you have to spend a lot of time polishing and revising it. After polishing it for a long time, you will find that it may be better to hold it in in the first place. Came out good.

After Zhou Yan and Yang Qiang composed these two paragraphs, he put away the bamboo flute and said to Liang Guangjiang, Can you help me find a notebook?

Oh, okay. Liang Guangjiang quickly got up and went to find a notebook for Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan took the notebook, typed the lines on it first, and then started noting the music.

While he was memorizing music, Yang Qiang and Liang Guangjiang did not dare to disturb him, but just watched slowly from the side. The improvised piece that Zhou Yan composed just now was not a short one. Now that Zhou Yan had written down the piece from memory, Yang Qiang and the others were afraid that speaking out would disrupt Zhou Yan's train of thought.

After a long time, Zhou Yan finished memorizing the score, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief, I remember that the score is a bit messy. You can sort it out a little when you go back.

Okay, okay. Yang Qiang took the score and put it away carefully.

Because I can remember the score quickly, it is indeed a bit sloppy, but the score is not messy and I can all recognize the notes on it, so it won’t be difficult to sort it out.

Zhou Yan flipped through Yang Qiang's script again, This dance drama of yours should be quite long. The two paragraphs I just wrote, plus the original music of The Street Where the Wind Lives, will definitely not be long enough. You can change it later. But I haven’t seen how the dance is choreographed, so I don’t have much inspiration for the time being.”

We will try our best to choreograph the dance according to the music. I am not very professional in this aspect, and I will have to find a dancer to do it later. The music can do this, which is very, very good. I really don’t know what to do with the help you gave us. How can I thank you? Yang Qiang said with sincere gratitude.

Zhou Yan smiled and waved his hand, You're welcome, Captain Yang. I'm from Jinling myself, so I can make some contribution to my hometown. I hope your song and dance troupe will get better and better and put on more and more good shows.

Yang Qiang stroked the score, Recently we have been preparing for the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, so there is no way to schedule the program for the time being, but after the Spring Festival Gala is over, I will immediately arrange for them to schedule the program. I don't know the premiere of the program later. When the time comes, would you be lucky enough to be able to invite you to the scene?

Zhou Yan said thoughtfully, I can't reply now. If there is nothing else by then, I definitely hope to go back and have a look.

Don't worry, we will make an appointment with you in advance when the time comes.

Okay, I'll wait for your news.

Yang Qiang thought for a while and then said, Now that the song has changed a lot, can I give it a new name?

In fact, even if the song remains the same, Yang Qiang still wants to change the name. The Street Where the Wind Lives is not bad as a song title, but as the name of a dance drama, it is a bit unsatisfactory.

Just think about it, when the audience sees the name The Street Where the Wind Lives, they can't imagine what type of program this program is.

Zhou Yan did not hesitate, nodded and said, No problem, the song is a song, and the dance drama is a dance drama. Whatever name you think is good, just come up with it yourself. You don't have to use the title of the song as the name. I don't have any objections in this aspect.

What do you think of Drinking the Yangtze River Water Together? Yang Qiang asked.

Hearing Yang Qiang say a name so quickly, Zhou Yan knew that Yang Qiang must have thought about changing his name in advance, and the reason why he asked him was just to show respect.

The name Drinking the Water of the Yangtze River Together is taken from the poem Bu Suanzi: I Live at the Head of the Yangtze River. It is an allusion and fits the plot. As soon as the audience hears this name, they can roughly know what type of story this dance drama is about.

Moreover, the Yangtze River happens to pass through Jinling, so the name also makes this dance drama more connected with Jinling.

Zhou Yan thought it was pretty good. He nodded, Well, it's pretty good.

Seeing Zhou Yan say this, Yang Qiang laughed, Then it's settled.

As soon as Yang Qiang finished speaking, there were two knocks at the door.

Dong dong.

Yang Qiang turned to look at the door, Who is it?

Captain, it's us. A clear female voice came from outside the door.

Oh, he's an actor in our troupe. After introducing Zhou Yan, Yang Qiang said to the door, Come in.

After Yang Qiang spoke, the door was pushed open, and two girls in their early twenties walked in from the outside.

Seeing Zhou Yan, the two girls' eyes lit up.

The girl in front smiled and asked, Is this Zhou Yan?

This is Xu Jing, and the one behind is Zhang Xin. They are both actors from our troupe. Yang Qiang introduced Zhou Yan again, and then told Xu Jing and the others, Teacher Zhou came here specifically to guide us.

Zhou Yan waved his hands repeatedly, Captain, you are speaking harshly. We are not talking about guidance, it is about mutual communication.

Zhang Xin and I heard music from next door, so we thought that you and Liang Guangjiang, the leader, would not be able to play such a nice flute sound. There must be an expert here. It turns out that Teacher Zhou is here.

Yang Qiang smiled and said to Zhou Yan, Many people in our group are your fans, and there is one who is not here. If he sees you, he will probably be speechless.

Xu Jing testified for Yang Qiang, The group leader is right. Jiang An from our group is a loyal fan of Mr. Zhou. I have watched The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly several times. We heard your comment before. The music was all recommended by Jiang An.

Zhou Yan nodded. Sure enough, the power of a tap water is very powerful. Sometimes a circle likes the same person, maybe because of the powerful amway of a certain person in the circle.

After chatting with Yang Qiang and the others for a while, Zhou Yan realized that the CCTV program of their Frontline Song and Dance Troupe was very short, just over a minute in total. The program was very simple, with only four actors, and only the leader. Six people came.

The name of the program is Looking for Friends, yes, it is the children's song Looking for Friends, and the program is also for children.

Although the program is simple, it is a Spring Festival Gala program after all, so in order to show attention, the group leader Yang Qiang personally led the team.

However, Yang Qiang will return to Jinling in a few days and will not come back until the Spring Festival Gala officially starts.

Rehearsing for the Spring Festival Gala is very troublesome. Preparations basically start half a year in advance. Now is the rehearsal stage, and rehearsals cannot be done in one go. Usually they are rehearsed several times.

Like Xu Jing and others, there were not many people anyway. After coming to Yanjing, they settled down and waited until the performance was over before returning to Jinling.

Yang Qiang wanted to stay with Zhou Yan for dinner in the evening, but Zhou Yan declined.

He has been working very hard recently, so he can socialize as little as possible. He would spend a few hours talking or eating with them. If he drank more, he would basically not be able to do his work in the evening.

After returning home from the guest house, Zhou Yan started working on the soundtrack of Alive again.

He had a chat with Zhang Yimou on the phone two days ago. Zhou Yan prepared the music first, and after going to Shanghai to meet Zhang Yimou, the studio could start recording.

In the next few days, Zhou Yan was busy with the post-production of The Sixth Sense and the soundtrack of Alive. The school's exam week had begun, and Zhou Yan's classes were gone. He occasionally went to school to work as an invigilator.

He didn't have to worry about the early preparations for the New Year's Day party. He was a guest in the audience that night.

Although this year's New Year's Day party is not as good as the previous Mid-Autumn Festival party, it is a little more lively than last year's New Year's Day party.

Last year's New Year's Day party, the seats in the concert hall were not full, but this year they were full.

Because of Zhou Yan, the current activities held by Yangyin will also attract attention from outside the school. Many of the audience in the concert hall today are students from other schools.

In the past, it was very simple for students of our school to watch the school's New Year's Day party, as long as they were willing to go.

Because there are so few students at Yangyin, and many people have to perform on stage, the audience is even smaller.

There are dozens of people in a symphony orchestra, and there are also many people in other operas and dance dramas. There are hundreds of people performing at each event, and there are not many people in Yangyin in total.

Sometimes, in order to keep the event from being too deserted, the department will even recruit young men and stipulate how many people must attend.

But this year is different. If students from Yangyin want to come to the party this year, they have to get tickets. The number of tickets allocated to each major is fixed, and not everyone can get tickets.

The main reason is that they not only have to compete with students from their own school. In addition to keeping tickets for their own students, the school also sends tickets to other places. Yanjing University sends a few tickets, Shuimu sends a few tickets, Yanjing Normal University sends a few tickets... Yanjing's school is too There are many, and many of them are famous schools. Each school will send a few tickets, and it will cost a lot of votes.

Although Zhou Yan did not take the stage during the concert, the Piano Youth Orchestra performed two performances, which satisfied the audience who came here for the concert.

After the party ended, the school activities were not over yet.

At twelve o'clock on New Year's Eve, many students were not in a hurry to go back to rest, but wandered around the school. Some people set off firecrackers, and some held open-air concerts. It was very lively.

After walking a few steps from the concert hall, Zhou Yan saw a circle of people gathered together, and someone was setting off fountain fireworks in the middle of the circle.

This thing is a high-end product, and it is really good-looking. There are at least forty or fifty people surrounding it at the moment.

Originally, Jia Guoping and his wife were walking together with Zhou Yan. When they saw the Fountain fireworks, Zhang Xinning couldn't walk anymore and pulled Jia Guoping to see them. Come on, let's go and have a look too.

Zhang Xinning, let alone watching the fireworks, even if she wanted the stars in the sky, Jia Guoping would pick them for her. Then they ignored Zhou Yan and held hands to watch the fireworks.

Looking at the backs of the two of them, Zhou Yan smiled and curled his lips, ready to go home. It was not interesting for him to be alone on New Year's Day. He planned to go home and work for a while and then have a good sleep.

But before he could move, he felt someone tap him on his right shoulder. He turned his head to look, but there was no one there. When he turned back, he found a woman wearing a white rabbit ear hat and her face wrapped tightly with a scarf. The child stood in front of him.

She put her hands behind her back and leaned forward slightly, with only a pair of eyes showing on her face, which were full of smiles at the moment.

Although he only saw a pair of eyes, Zhou Yan recognized that this was Wang Zuxian. He was surprised and said, Why are you here?

I'm here to celebrate the New Year with you, otherwise it would be miserable for you to be alone. Just now, when you looked at the backs of Brother Jia and the others, did you feel so disappointed? Wang Zuxian said with a smile.

Zhou Yan said firmly, I'm not disappointed, I'm just thinking that if you are alone in Xiangjiang with no one to accompany you, it will definitely be miserable.

Of course it's miserable, so I came to find you.

Zhou Yan glanced at the people coming and going around him and gave Wang Zuxian a thumbs up, Classmate Xiaoxian, you are so bold now that you are a master of arts. You dare to come here. Aren't you afraid that others will recognize you?

What are you afraid of? Will they still recognize me if I'm like this?

But everyone knows me.

When Zhou Yan walks in Yangyin, people around him will look at him more. When Wang Zuxian is by his side, he will definitely receive attention.

If Zhou Yan holds Wang Zuxian's hand now, most people will look over in a short while. After all, Zhou Yan is in love, which is a huge gossip.

Wang Zuxian said with a smile: Then I will stay away from you.

After saying that, she walked alone in the direction of the Fountain fireworks with her hands behind her back, I'm going to watch the fireworks.

Looking at Wang Zuxian's bouncing back, Zhou Yan smiled and followed him.

They were just like ordinary spectators, crowded in the crowd and watching the fountain fireworks in the middle.

The boy who set off the fireworks was obviously well prepared. After one fountain was set off, he lit another one to keep the fireworks show going.

The firelight shone on the crowd, leaving smiles on people's faces. The New Year was coming, and everyone was in a good mood.

Zhou Yan turned to look at Wang Zuxian, and from her eyes, he could just see the burning fountain. The fountain was burning like a bright galaxy.

Seeing her constantly applauding the fireworks like other girls, Zhou Yan felt a little dazed.

In fact, they talked on the phone yesterday, when Wang Zuxian was still in Xiangjiang, but he didn't expect that Wang Zuxian would arrive in Yanjing and appear in front of him today. This feeling was like a dream.

Wang Zuxian also seems to like such sudden attacks. She has done this before.

But such a sudden attack is indeed a surprise.

After the fireworks show, Wang Zuxian skipped to a concert not far away. A boy was holding a guitar and singing a love song, causing all the girls to scream in surprise.

In Yangyin, such scenes often occur. The guitar is particularly popular because it is very suitable for looking cool. Boys in Yangyin, no matter what they study, will basically order the guitar.

But just playing the guitar is not enough. You have to play and sing at the same time to attract people.

The guitar is popular because it is suitable for playing and singing.

For other wind instruments, such as the bamboo flute learned by Zhou Yan, unless one opens two mouths, it is impossible to sing while playing, and stringed instruments such as violins and erhu are not suitable either.

The piano is suitable for playing and singing at the same time, but there is no way to carry it around with you.

After watching the program for a while, Zhou Yan took Wang Zuxian and left.

The main reason is that Zhou Yan is really not very good at singing, and he doesn't even get a chance to show off.

After going to the car to find a scarf to put on, Zhou Yan went to Tiananmen Square with Wang Zuxian.

Tiananmen is even more lively. People are everywhere on the roadside, rubbing shoulders and making a lot of noise.

People gather here to wait for twelve o'clock to shout the countdown to New Year's Eve. At that time, there will be fireworks on Tiananmen Square.

The two of them didn't have to be as reserved as they were at school. Anyway, Zhou Yan had disguised himself and people around him couldn't recognize him, so they just held hands and walked through the crowd openly, just like any other couple.

When it was almost twelve o'clock, the two of them stood on the road opposite Tiananmen Square. Wang Zuxian rested his head on Zhou Yan's shoulder and stared blankly at the brightly lit Tiananmen Square in front of him.

Being in a crowded crowd and listening to the noisy sounds around you will make people unconsciously move closer to those close to them.

Third brother, I love you.

Wang Zuxian suddenly said something.

There were too many people around and the noise was too noisy. Zhou Yan could only roughly hear the word Third Brother but not the rest.

He raised his voice and asked, What did you say?

I said--

As soon as Wang Zuxian spoke, the people around her started counting down together, and her voice was immediately drowned in them.

Ten, nine, eight...

Wang Zuxian was interrupted for a moment, but soon raised her voice again and said with the loudest voice she could shout, Third brother, I love you.

This time, Zhou Yan heard it clearly, and he didn't want to understand it, because Wang Zuxian's mouth shape had already told him.

He looked down at Wang Zuxian, his eyes full of love, and then slowly pulled down the scarf covering Wang Zuxian's face.

At this moment, the countdown sounds continued all around.

Four, three, two...

Just when everyone shouted one, Zhou Yan lowered his head and kissed Wang Zuxian. Wang Zuxian softened and hugged Zhou Yan tightly.

When the lips of the two touched each other, the sound of fireworks rang out across the square, and the people around them cheered too. These cheers were like a raging wave, wrapping the two of them and making them hug each other tighter. .

No one noticed them because everyone else was also immersed in the excitement and joy of New Year's Eve.

They waited until the first round of fireworks ended before they let go of each other.

Wang Zuxian was a little short of oxygen after being kissed by Zhou Yan, and after they separated, he was still panting slightly.

Zhou Yan flipped Wang Zuxian's hair around his ears, Did our kiss last from 1993 to 1994?

Wang Zuxian nodded gently and snuggled into Zhou Yan's arms, Third brother, let's celebrate the New Year together next year, okay?

good.

…

When Zhou Yan woke up the next morning, he felt a little numb in his left arm, with Wang Zuxian's head resting on it.

There was enough heating in the room, and Wang Zuxian's shoulders were exposed outside the quilt. After the battle last night, she didn't wear pajamas, so she fell asleep hugging Zhou Yan naked.

Zhou Yan stretched out his right hand and started from behind her ear, slowly sliding down, sliding across her neck, past her collarbone, past her shoulders, and finally stopped on her back, drawing circles one after another.

Itchy~

Wang Zuxian muttered in his sleep, and then shrank into Zhou Yan's arms.

She shrank like this, which also freed Zhou Yan's arm.

Zhou Yan gently kissed Wang Zuxian on the forehead, and then slowly got out of the quilt.

By the time Wang Zuxian woke up, Zhou Yan had already bought breakfast.

Let's have breakfast.

Third brother, you are so kind.

After kissing Zhou Yan on the cheek, Wang Zuxian ran to wash up.

Zhou Yanze went to the piano room and started today's work. Although Wang Zuxian came, his work could not be left behind.

After Wang Zuxian finished breakfast, he also ran to the piano room, leaned next to the piano and watched Zhou Yan work.

Zhou Yan turned to look at her, I'll finish the work first, and then take you out shopping.

But Wang Zuxian shook his head, No more shopping. Let's just stay at home today. I was very tired from traveling yesterday, and you didn't let me rest last night.

Zhou Yan curled his lips and smiled, It's obviously me who put in the effort, so why are you tired? Besides, you were very happy last night, and you didn't even complain about being tired.

Oh, I won't tell you anymore. It's not serious. Wang Zuxian said, covering his face.

You shot first.

You're not allowed to say it anyway. Wang Zuxian stamped his feet.

Okay, okay, I won't tell.

I went to the living room to watch TV and ignored you.

After saying that, Wang Zuxian turned around and went to the living room.

Wang Zuxian's excuse for being tired was actually an excuse. Of course she also wanted Zhou Yan to spend more time with her. After the filming of The Sixth Sense was completed, the two had not seen each other for a long time. She wished she could stay with Zhou Yan 24 hours a day.

But she also knew that Zhou Yan was very busy with work during this period, and she should not disturb him at this time. She originally came to Yanjing to celebrate the New Year with Zhou Yan, but her sudden idea may have disrupted Zhou Yan's plan.

She was thinking not to disturb Zhou Yan, but Zhou Yan was thinking about squeezing in time to spend more time with her.

Today, Zhou Yan's work intensity was at full capacity. He had originally arranged a day's work, and Zhou Yan finished it at three o'clock in the afternoon.

After finishing his work, Zhou Yan took Wang Zuxian out to play together. They don't go to any tourist attractions. They rarely go to shopping malls. They just walk around the streets and look for delicious food.

It was the same for the next two days. Zhou Yan finished his work ahead of schedule, and then took Wang Zuxian out to eat.

With the new year and new atmosphere, Yanjing is also very lively these days. Wang Zuxian stayed in Yanjing for two days and had a great time.

A few days after Wang Zuxian left, Zhou Yan set off for Shanghai.

He is going to confirm the soundtrack of Alive with Zhang Yimou. After this is settled, he will go directly to Neon from Shanghai without going with the orchestra.

When Zhou Yan arrived in Shanghai, the first person he saw was not Zhang Yimou, but his old friend Zhang Jianya.

Hearing that Zhou Yan was coming, Zhang Jianya offered to pick him up.

Zhang Jianya was very happy to see Zhou Yan.

I heard that you were the soundtrack director of Alive, and I was waiting for you to come over. We haven't seen each other for a long time.

Zhou Yan nodded, It's been a while, mainly because you don't want to go to Yanjing.

It's okay for me to go to Yanjing, but it's you. Jinling is so close to Shanghai, and you didn't even ask to come and have a look.

It's not close yet. Have you finished filming your new movie? Zhou Yan asked.

Zhang Jianya is very popular in Shanghai Studio. Other directors can't get movies to be made, but his movies are one after another. After shooting Sanmao Joins the Army, he shot Mr. Wang's Burning Desire one after another. Body and Resurrection from the End.

What Zhou Yan asked about was the new movie Resurrection from the Jedi. When Zhang Jianya was filming this movie before, he also asked Zhou Yan to do the soundtrack, but Zhou Yan was too busy and couldn't make time, so he didn't take the job.

The filming has been completed, and we are currently in post-production. Where is your movie? I read on the news that your new movie has a lot of celebrities.

It's not that exaggerated. We hired Tony Leung Ka-fai and Joey Wong as the male and female protagonists, and the others are not very well-known.

Tsk, tsk, it's not enough to have Tony Leung Ka Fai and Joey Wong. These two are paid quite a lot, right?

It's not very cheap.

Although Zhou Yan did not say how much the salary was, Zhang Jianya knew a little bit about the market price of actors in Hong Kong. Just Wang Zuxian and Liang Jiahui, their combined salary was at least two to three million.

Coupled with other actors, Zhou Yan's new movie's salary expenditure alone is upwards of three million.

And this money, if it is tight, is enough for their studio to make several movies.

It would be a lie to say that I am not envious. If possible, Zhang Jianya also hopes to be able to make some big productions.

When they make movies, many times, due to lack of funds, they have to make compromises.

But there's no use envying this matter. Although Zhou Yan's filmmaking expenses are high, he can really make money.

Zhou Yan's debut feature film The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly was a huge success at the box office. The movie with a multi-million investment earned more than 100 million at the global box office, which sounds a bit scary.

Farewell My Concubine has been very popular in the past six months and has achieved high box office in many places. However, the investment cost of Farewell My Concubine is higher, and so far, the global box office of Farewell My Concubine has not exceeded that of Farewell My Concubine The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly.

The main reason is that The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly performed so well in Neon, and it suddenly boosted the global box office.

If the neon box office is excluded, the box office of Farewell My Concubine has surpassed that of The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly.

Zhou Yan can be said to have made a great start. No new director has ever been able to achieve such an achievement.

The key is that directing is still a side job, while Zhou Yan's main job is composer.

You are in trouble now. All eighty-year-old ladies now know that there is a composer named Zhou Yan. The last CCTV program Yanjing Silence had a huge impact. Zhang Jianya talked about the concert again. matter.

What you said is too exaggerated.

It's no exaggeration. I heard an old man and an old lady playing your music in the alley a few days ago. That song The Street Where the Wind Lives is very popular with the elderly. If you come to Shanghai to hold a concert, it won't take you a day. , all the tickets must have been sold out. I don’t know about others, but I will definitely buy tickets as soon as possible.”

I'm coming to Shanghai to hold a concert, do you still need to buy tickets?

Zhang Jianya laughed, Then I'll thank you in advance and arrange two tickets for me when the time comes.

Stay in front, definitely stay in front. You can listen to it on stage no matter what you want.

…

After Zhou Yan arrived at Shanghai Studio, he went directly to the editing workshop.

In the editing workshop, Zhou Yan met Zhang Yimou.

The film had been cut, and Zhang Yimou took Zhou Yan to watch it again.

While watching the movie, Zhou Yan played the pre-recorded music next to him to let Zhang Yimou feel the effect.

When they encountered a problem, the two stopped the film, stopped the music, and started discussing.

Wait until the outcome of the discussion is reached before starting to watch the subsequent films.

Zhou Yan originally thought that his work attitude was already very positive, but compared with Zhang Yimou, a workaholic, that really pales in comparison.

In the middle, Zhou Yan even regretted not going to the hotel first.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the two of them left the editing workshop, but Zhou Yan couldn't rest because he had to sort out and summarize the things discussed during the day at night, and then modify the music based on these issues.

The next morning, Zhang Yimou came to Zhou Yan with another notebook and said that he had some new ideas for yesterday's problems.

Looking at the densely packed questions written in the notebook, Zhou Yan felt his head hurt.

With this workload, Zhang Yimou definitely didn't sleep for long last night.

Zhang Yimou had told Zhou Yan before that he went to bed at two or three o'clock every day and woke up at five or six o'clock. Zhou Yan didn't believe it at first, thinking that Zhang Yimou was bragging.

Later Zhou Yan discovered that Zhang Yimou had indeed told lies. In fact, Zhang Yimou went to bed after three o'clock and woke up at early five o'clock. He only slept for two hours, maybe less.

And it's not just one or two days, Zhang Yimou is like this for many days.

Sometimes Zhou Yan wonders whether this old man's physique is different from ordinary people. For ordinary people, even if they don't die, their mental state will definitely be very poor.

But Zhang Yimou's condition seems to be very good, better than many of his peers.

But working with a workaholic like Zhang Yimou can really produce results.

It only took three or four days for Zhou Yan and Zhang Yimou to master the soundtrack of Alive.

It took me a few more days to perfect the songs used in it.

By January 15th, all the work was completed.

Zhou Yan set off for Neon on the 17th, and with a day to spare in between, he went to visit Xu Feng. (End of chapter)
