1990: Starting from Baojia Street

Chapter 135 I am a tailor

It's not that Wu Ziniu has no ideas about the choice of actors, but the actor situation has been relatively chaotic in the past two years, and the pay gap between different actors is too large.

For most actors within the system, the salary is easy to negotiate, with the highest salary being only one to two thousand a month, and the main thing is secondment.

Some actors outside the system can even ask for six figures when they open their mouths.

Therefore, Wu Ziniu is not completely able to decide on his own as to which actors he can use. It also depends on how much money Tomson will give him.

Zhou Yan didn't think too much about it. Although he didn't know how much money Tomson would invest in this movie, the main character in "Tree Hole" is Yao Xiang, and actors with a salary of less than 100 million would definitely be fine.

After chatting with Wu Ziniu for an hour and declining Wu Ziniu's invitation to stay for dinner, Zhou Yan stood up and left.

After leaving the Bayi Factory, Zhou Yan saw Jiang Xia waiting under the shade of the tree at the door.

"Teacher Zhou, you're out, are you going home now?"

Zhou Yan shook his head, "If you don't go back, let's go to Yanjing Studio."

"Is there a job at Yanjing Studio?"

Zhou Yan smiled and said, "I'll take you to have a meal."

The car drove to the gate of Yanjing Factory. Outside the door, Uncle Zhou came over with a book to register Zhou Yan and the others. When Zhou Yan rolled down the window, Uncle Zhou saw it was Zhou Yan and said with a smile, "Hey, the shotgun has been replaced by the cannon. Sit on It’s a car.”

Zhou Yan smiled and gave Uncle Zhou a cigarette, "This is provided by the company, can I register it?"

"What are you signing up for? It's not like you don't know him." Uncle Zhou smiled and waved his hand, then opened the door again.

"Thank you."

Zhou Yan told Jiang Xia that he was here to have a meal, but of course he couldn't really just come here to have a meal. Chen Kaige said that the film of "Farewell My Concubine" was almost finished, and he came to take a look.

He first went to the director's office. Only Wang Jun was there. When she heard that Zhou Yan was looking for Chen Kaige, she smiled and said, "Go to the editing workshop, which is probably there."

Zhou Yan nodded and ran to the editing workshop again. As expected, Chen Kaige was there.

On the phone, Chen Kaige told Zhou Yan that the editing of "Farewell My Concubine" was almost complete, but when Zhou Yan arrived, he discovered that the dubbing had just been recorded and not all of it had been edited yet.

As for Zhou Yan and his team's soundtrack, they will at least wait until the dubbing is completed before they start editing it.

The soundtrack for "Farewell My Concubine" has been recorded. One-third of the entire soundtrack is sampled ready-made music, one-third was written by Zhao Jiping, and the other third was written by Zhou Yan.

In fact, this is beyond the scope of Zhou Yan's job. His job is "live music director". He only needs to worry about the scene and then assist Zhao Jiping later. There is no need to write it himself.

However, he and Zhao Jiping chatted and wrote a few paragraphs. Once the two of them combined, they assigned tasks and divided the songs other than samples in half.

The soundtrack for "Farewell My Concubine" was all original by Zhou Yan. The passages written by him and Zhao Jiping also have similar tones. They all use elements of opera. The melody is mainly Xipi Erhuang or Siping, and different creative techniques are used. It has less tonal opposition and incorporates some elements of Western music.

These songs have already been produced, but after the editing work of "Farewell My Concubine" is completed, Zhao Jiping will definitely make another trip to Yanjing, and then make final adjustments and modifications to the soundtrack with Zhou Yan.

Chen Kaige took Zhou Yan to read the edited content, and then said to Zhou Yan with a smile, "Director Zhou, look at this film from your professional perspective. Is there anything else that needs to be modified?"

Zhou Yan smiled. He knew Chen Kaige better now. Chen Kaige's words sounded quite modest, but they should never be taken seriously.

"When the movie has reached this point, there is nothing to criticize. Of course, if you have to ask me to pick two bones, I can't pick two."

Sure enough, when he heard Zhou Yan's words, the smile on Chen Kaige's face became even brighter. The reason why he said this to Zhou Yan was to get praise.

The two came out of the editing workshop. Chen Kaige talked about Zhou Yan's novel again, "The "Tree Hole" was so well written that it really shocked me. Do you want to shoot it yourself? If not, wait for me later. When you’re done here, let me take pictures.”

Zhou Yan said with a smile, "Then you're too late."

"You want to take the photo yourself?" Chen Kaige asked in surprise.

"It's not me, it's director Wu Ziniu from Bayi Studio. The talks are almost complete."

Chen Kaige curled his lips and said, "You might as well give it to me. The road at Bayi Factory is relatively narrow. They are good at filming military war scenes, but others may not be as good."

Zhou Yan did not answer this question. In fact, even if "Tree Hole" was not given to Wu Ziniu, Zhou Yan would definitely not give it to Chen Kaige. He could imagine that if the novel was given to Chen Kaige, the two of them would quarrel every day, and they would never be able to repay it by then. Let Xu Feng come over and mediate from behind.

And when "Farewell My Concubine" comes out, Xu Feng may not be able to suppress Chen Kaige.

"Let's work together again if we have the opportunity in the future." Zhou Yan smiled.

Chen Kaige looked at the time and said, "It's almost time for dinner in the cafeteria. Let's go eat."

"Okay, I'll go call someone first."

Chen Kaige asked in confusion, "Who is it?"

"My assistant."

Zhou Yan smiled, then went to the main building to call Jiang Xia with him.

Chen Kaige was actually quite envious of the fact that Zhou Yan had an assistant, and even murmured why Mr. Xu didn't assign him an assistant.

Of course, he was just muttering casually to satisfy his cravings. He only had a film appointment with Tomson. Unlike Zhou Yan's situation, it was of course impossible for Tomson to find an assistant for him.

As soon as the three of them arrived at the cafeteria, they heard someone calling them.

"Director Chen, Director Zhou, this way."

The two of them looked at the sound and saw Ge You waving to them.

There were two people next to Ge You, one was Xia Gang and the other... seemed to be Feng Xiaogang.

"Let's go over and take a look." Chen Kaige said.

When they arrived, Xia Gang first said hello to Zhou Yan, and then took the initiative to introduce Zhou Yan, "Director Zhou, you may have never seen this person before. He is Feng Xiaogang, editor Feng, the screenwriter of "The Story of the Editorial Department"."

Xia Gang then introduced Feng Xiaogang, "Xiaogang, this is the director Zhou Yanzhou."

Feng Xiaogang smiled and took the initiative to shake hands with Zhou Yan, "Hello, Director Zhou, I have heard of your name for a long time. You were the one who filmed "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" that was released some time ago."

Zhou Yan smiled and nodded, "It's my humble work."

"Director Zhou, you are too modest. How can a movie with a box office of more than 2000 million be a humble work? Although it is not as good as the 3000 million box office of "The Big Sword", it is still very good."

Hearing Feng Xiaogang's words, Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows. Although these words were compliments, they sounded a bit sinister. Does Feng Xiaogang have any opinions on himself, or is this just his speaking style?
As for the box office of "Big Sapa", Zhou Yan didn't know it before. There are no formal channels for domestic box office statistics. Many data are wrong, and he didn't pay attention to it.

He smiled and looked at Xia Gang instead of Feng Xiaogang, "Director Xia, congratulations on the market response."

Xia Gang smiled and waved his hand, "Well, it's not my fault alone. The main thing is that the script was well written and the leading actor acted well."

"you are too humble."

Then Zhou Yan said hello to Ge You again and said to Chen Kaige, "Master Kai, let's go get some food."

Ge You warmly invited, "Come over and share a table after dinner?"

Before Zhou Yan could say anything, Chen Kaige smiled and said, "Okay, we'll be here soon."

When Zhou Yan and the others went to prepare food, Xia Gang and the others sat down again. Feng Xiaogang looked at the backs of Zhou Yan and the others and couldn't help but mutter, "You are famous at a young age, and your eyes are really tall."

Xia Gang raised his eyebrows but said nothing. He really didn't think Zhou Yan had tall eyes.

During the moment they were in contact, Xia Gang even felt that Feng Xiaogang was a little carried away.

The main reason is that "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" and "The Piano Boy" were released one after another, and the previous "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" performed very well at the box office, so they can't help but often mention "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" in private. ", as time went by, Feng Xiaogang and the others started to take Zhou Yan as their opponent.

When "The Piano Boy" previously surpassed "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" at the box office, Feng Xiaogang made a special call to Xia Gang to say that "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" was left behind, which was quite encouraging.

However, later "The Big Brother" was released in Xiangjiang, but it was withdrawn after only six days of release, and the box office was only 10,000+, which was very different from "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly".

Originally, this was a normal thing. When mainland movies were released in Hong Kong, they would not get box office. Xia Gang and the others were mentally prepared. However, Feng Xiaogang was not convinced and said "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" It sells well in Xiangjiang because Tomson Company does a good job in publicity.

Xia Gang glanced at Ge You again, a little strange that Ge You shouldn't invite Zhou Yan and the others to come over to share a table. After a while, they sat together, and Feng Xiaogang said a few weird words, making them unhappy again.

The relationship was not so good before because Zhou Yan was let go. Now it has just eased a bit. Xia Gang really doesn't want to get into trouble anymore.

Ge You was also very helpless when he saw Xia Gang's expression. He just mentioned it politely, but who knew that Chen Kaige agreed so simply.

After a while, Zhou Yan and the others came back from dinner and sat with Xia Gang and the others.

During the meal, everyone chatted casually. Xia Gang kept raising topics. The atmosphere was quite good. Feng Xiaogang spoke normally, and Xia Gang also breathed a sigh of relief.

Later, when the topic of recent plans was mentioned, Chen Kaige asked Zhou Yan with a smile, "You gave "Tree Hole" to others to shoot, so you won't shoot it during this time? Are you going to focus on music?"

Zhou Yan smiled and said, "I have another plan on hand, which has not been finalized yet."

He didn't elaborate, nor did Chen Kaige ask. Feng Xiaogang, who was diagonally across from him, said with a smile: "Director Zhou has a new plan. This is different from following Mr. Tomson and Xu. The plans are one after another, and he is not afraid of filming. No one bought it when it came out, but Tomson’s publicity ability is strong enough.”

Zhou Yan was still unsure about what Feng Xiaogang said before, but when he heard these words, he knew that Feng Xiaogang did have personal opinions on him. These words sounded a bit provocative.

Zhou Yan was also confused. This was the first time he and Feng Xiaogang had met, and they had no grudges.

It's love at first sight, but he's going to make enemies at first sight?
Before Zhou Yan could say anything, Xia Gang quickly spoke up, "Of course Tomson Company is good, but it is also setting up a platform. The main thing is that Director Zhou has the ability to perform on this platform."

Zhou Yanze smiled and waved his hand, "Hey, Editor Feng is right. We are lucky to be able to cooperate with Tomson. Master Kai, are you right?"

Chen Kaige curled his lips, a little unhappy, "Ang."

In fact, when Feng Xiaogang said that, Chen Kaige didn't have any ideas, but when Zhou Yan mentioned it, he reacted. According to Feng Xiaogang, even if "Farewell My Concubine" does well in the future, it will be the credit of Tomson Film Company. Of course he wasn't happy about this.

Chen Kaige originally had a good impression of Feng Xiaogang, but now he feels that his buck teeth are a bit unclear.

Feng Xiaogang knew he had made a mistake and quickly added, "I mean the same thing as Director Xia, that is, only a company like Tomson can bring your talents into full play."

Seeing Feng Xiaogang's behavior, Zhou Yan couldn't help but smile. It turns out that this guy also depends on others, and probably in Feng Xiaogang's eyes, he is still a soft persimmon.

In fact, Feng Xiaogang was willing to offend Zhou Yan but not Chen Kaige. Apart from the fact that Zhou Yan was young, inexperienced and not very famous, there was another important reason.

At this table, whether it's Ge You, Chen Kaige, or Xia Gang, they are all from Yanjing, and only Zhou Yan is an outsider.

Feng Xiaogang values ​​​​the basics. In Feng Xiaogang's opinion, Zhou Yan, an outsider, does not have upright foundations.

He didn't talk much, and the atmosphere during the meal became a bit awkward because Chen Kaige didn't speak. Xia Gang wanted to liven up the atmosphere, but didn't know what to say, while Ge You didn't want to offend anyone and just ate honestly.

At the end of the meal, Chen Kaige and Zhou Yan got up to leave.

As soon as the two stood up, Zhou Yan turned to Ge You and asked, "Brother Ge, do you have time for us to chat later?"

Before Ge You could say anything, Xia Gang said, "There's nothing going on in the afternoon. Ge You, you have time to talk to Director Zhou."

Ge You was still hesitant at first. After all, in today's atmosphere, if he left suddenly, he might offend Feng Xiaogang again, but Xia Gang's words gave him a step forward, and he took advantage of these words and said, "Okay."

Zhou Yan smiled and nodded, "Then I'll wait for you in Mr. Kai's office at one o'clock."

……

At one o'clock, Ge You arrived at Chen Kaige's office on time.

Zhou Yan was originally chatting with Wang Junzheng and Chen Kaige. When he saw Ge You coming, he stood up with a smile and said, "Brother Ge, let's go."

Ge You was stunned, "Where are you going?"

He thought Zhou Yan was looking for him to talk about something at Yanjing Factory.

Zhou Yan smiled and said, "There is a script I want you to read. The script is at my house, not far from here. It will be there in a moment."

When he heard that he wanted to read the script, Ge You smiled and nodded, "That's okay."

Then the two people spoke to Wang Junzheng and the others and left the office building.

Ge You was quite surprised when he saw Zhou Yan's car. Most people don't get this kind of treatment.

After arriving at the courtyard, Zhou Yan gave Ge You a copy of the script of "Tree Hole".

In fact, the first time he saw Ge You in the cafeteria, "Tree Hole" flashed through Zhou Yan's mind. After all, he had just talked with Wu Ziniu in the morning about the role of Yao Xiang. Suddenly he saw a powerful actor. Naturally. I will think about it.

Moreover, Zhou Yan had already taken advantage of the noon time to call Wu Ziniu and mentioned Ge You's appearance in "Tree Hole". Wu Ziniu was also very interested and asked Zhou Yan to take Ge You to try out the show some time.

Ge You wasn't too surprised. Zhou Yan was most likely talking to him about acting, and there was nothing else to talk about between them.

After taking the script, Ge You said with a smile, "Is this your new play directed by Zhou?"

Zhou Yan shook his head and said, "No, I am the screenwriter of this play and the director is Director Wu Ziniu."

Ge You was surprised now. He didn't expect Zhou Yan to write a script for someone else, and the other person was Wu Ziniu.

Of course he knows who Wu Ziniu is. He has watched many of Wu Ziniu's movies including "The Evening Bell", "Blood Valley" and "The Twilight Zone".

The script that Wu Ziniu can like is definitely not bad.

Then Ge You said nothing more and began to read the script seriously.

Zhou Yan didn't disturb him, just held a book next to him and started reading.

When he was less than halfway through the script, Ge You couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Just now he was still a little confused as to why Wu Ziniu would use Zhou Yan's script. He had seen "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" and Zhou Yan's movie style was relatively warm, completely different from Wu Ziniu's style.

But now that he has read less than half of the script of "Tree Hole", all the doubts in his heart have disappeared. The script of "Tree Hole" is completely different in style from "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly", and it is definitely director Wu Ziniu's cup of tea.

The more he looked back, the more Ge You felt that this script was not simple, and Yao Xiang's role was also very special.

Yao Xiang was supposed to be a very normal person. He questioned superstition and the public. Especially when he shouted to the countryside to save the dying bamboo craftsman, he even gave people a heroic feeling that everyone was drunk but I was alone. .

But later, after being trapped in a tree hole for a while, Yao Xiang began to change. It's hard to say whether it was to follow the crowd or to take revenge. He began to deceive others with the same set of things that he originally despised.

Another clever thing about this script is that it sets up several mirrors for the character Yao Xiang, and what these mirrors reflect is different from Yao Xiang.

The first mirror is the village chief. He went to high school and is a little educated. He probably doesn’t believe in those theories about ghosts and gods. However, he never expresses his thoughts, and he also uses the theories about ghosts and gods to organize activities in the village. .

The second mirror is a doctor. When the villager performed the dance for the bamboo craftsman, the doctor was right next to him but remained silent. He was the most promising person to save the bamboo craftsman's life, but he did not take action.

The third mirror is Yao Xiang's wife. She doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, but because Yao wants to make more money dancing as a master, she chooses to marry him.

...These mirrors reflect something different from Yao Xiang, but they seem to reflect something in Yao Xiang's body. The final image of Yao Xiang is also a collection of these characters.

After Ge You finished reading the entire script, he was a little confused because he suddenly thought of the crow Yao Xiang saw trapped in the tree hole earlier. In the end, the crow flew away, as if it was hinting at something.

Seeing that Ge You had been staring at the last page of the script for seven or eight minutes, Zhou Yan smiled and said, "Brother Ge, have you finished reading it?"

Only then did Ge You come back to his senses. He smiled and nodded, "I've finished reading it. Director Zhou has written this script very well. No wonder Director Wu will shoot it."

It was a casual compliment, but it also had some sincerity.

Zhou Yan smiled and said, "Brother Ge, if you are interested in the role of Yao Xiang, I would like to invite you to audition."

Ge You wanted to agree immediately, but he held back. He asked, "Director Zhou, when will this movie be filmed?"

"It should be next spring." Zhou Yan said.

When he heard that the filming of the drama would not start until next spring, Ge You laughed and said, "That'll be no problem."

Ge You also has a film contract, Liu Xiaoning's "The Thief", which will start filming in more than a month. He probably won't have time to take on other films this year.

As long as it doesn't conflict with the filming of "The Thief", Ge You will definitely fight for the role of Yao Xiang, because he knows that only by participating in a movie like "Tree Hole" can his film career be taken to the next level.

Zhou Yan smiled and said, "In that case, let's make an appointment to go to the Bayi Factory for a trial. When will you have time?"

"I can do it for a few days."

"Okay, I'll make an appointment with Director Wu. We'll find time to arrange the audition in the next few days. Let's leave our contact information and I'll let you know the specific time later."

"okay."

Then Zhou Yan didn't keep Ge You for dinner and asked Jiang Xia to drive him back to Yanjing Film Studio.

After Ge You left, Zhou Yan made a call to Wu Ziniu and made an appointment for the audition.

The results of the audition were very good. Zhou Yan and Wu Ziniu were also very satisfied with Ge You's performance and decided on the spot that Ge You should play Yao Xiang.

Ge You's style is more suitable for "Tree Hole", that is, it is serious but also a little absurd.

……

"Zhou Yan's performance fee is 15 for two performances. This is our final quotation."

At Xiangjiang All-Star Entertainment Company, Vice President Xu Shengqiang crossed his legs and told Zhang Youan about their company's third offer.

Zhang Youan squinted his eyes. It cost 15 yuan for two games, and the average was only [-] yuan per game. Moreover, he didn't pay a cent for makeup and musicians. If the money is divided, Tomson may even lose money.

In fact, this is already higher than before. All-Star Entertainment’s first offer was only [-] yuan per game.

Zhang Youan sighed slightly. He knew that there was no need to continue talking to Quanxing. Then he stood up and said with a smile, "In that case, Mr. Xu, let's cooperate again if we have the opportunity in the future."

Xu Shengqiang didn't even move his buttocks, and still crossed his legs, "Mr. Zhang, you have to think clearly. Other companies may not be able to give you my price. Otherwise, you wouldn't come to me three times. You also don't have this price." Just be content. In the past two years, we contracted Beyond’s concerts in Elizabeth and only gave them 17 yuan per concert.”

Zhang Youan curled his lips. What Xu Shengqiang was talking about was three years ago. At that time, Beyond's status was not as high as it is now, and the performance fee market at that time was also lower than now. Besides, the 17 that All Star gave them was not all. All star makeup and other things are paid for separately.

In fact, Zhang Youan found three companies. The other two companies were a little higher than the price offered by All Star, but of course not much higher.

The reason why he came to All-Star for the third time is because All-Star is the strongest among the three companies.

Zhang Youan smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, it's business. You have your demands, and I have mine."

"Aren't we both asking for concerts? Of course you can ask Shining and Xuhua, but I don't think they can offer high prices, and their ability to host events is far from ours. If the concert cannot be held, Mr. Zhang, you can come to me again at any time. Even if you are a good horse, you still have to go back to the grass."

Zhang Youan shrugged his shoulders, "Don't worry about whether the concert can be held. When the concert time is decided, I will have someone give you a ticket."

Xu Shengqiang said with a smile, "Then I will definitely dress up and attend."

"See you."

"No delivery."

After Zhang Youan left, Xu Shengqiang spat, "What the hell."

If it weren't for Xu Feng who was behind Zhang Youan, Xu Shengqiang would not even talk to Zhang Youan.

"The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" has a good box office, but that is only relative to its low cost. Among the many movies in Hong Kong, its box office is nothing!
Besides, the sales volume of the music album "Piano Boy" is not bad, but who can compare with it?If any singer comes out of Hong Kong, wouldn't his record sales be higher than those of "Piano Boy"?
Here, Zhang Youan walked out of All-Star Company and also frowned.

He also knew that the performance fee would definitely be out of the question. He could actually accept the 15 yuan for two performances, but it could be seen from Xu Shengqiang's attitude that they would never bother to promote the concert.

After returning to his residence, Zhang Youan called Xu Feng and reported the matter to Xu Feng.

After Xu Feng heard this, he didn't care at all and said with a smile, "In that case, let's do it ourselves. The appearance fee of [-] does not cover the makeup and musicians. It is too embarrassing to tell the price. .Even if the concert is finally completed, our faces will be disgraced. In Xiangjiang and Taiwan, if we only lose money if we have two shows, we won’t lose much, but in this case, you will have to pay more attention. .”

Zhang Youan smiled and said, "It's okay, I should pay more attention now."

"By the way, in terms of schedule, put the concert in Taiwan at the front and Xiangjiang at the back."

When Xu Feng said this, Zhang Youan understood what she meant.

The album "Piano Boy" sold better in Taiwan, and because of the program "Walking and Talking", Zhou Yan's popularity in Taiwan is relatively high.

Tickets for the concerts in Taiwan will definitely sell better. When the two concerts in Taiwan are over, if the results are good, they may be able to attract more attention to Hong Kong, at least in terms of publicity.

"Okay, I understand, I will go to Taiwan tomorrow."

……

Zhou Yan didn't know about the difficulties Zhang Youan encountered in Xiangjiang. After he and Wu Ziniu confirmed that Ge You would play Yao Xiang, his main focus during this period was on the symphony orchestra.

After a period of recruitment, the orchestra has been fully staffed. These days, people from the orchestra come to his home to rehearse almost every day. Occasionally, he will take the orchestra members to the composition classroom to rehearse.

Now that he is a teacher, it is easier to do things like "using public affairs for personal gain". It is easy to find a classroom to rehearse.

The leaders in the department and the school had actually heard about Zhou Yan's involvement in the band. They didn't express any opinions, but the lack of expressions was also a kind of support.

On October 92, Zhou Yan had just given a harmony class to the students of [-] Composition. When he came out of the classroom, he was stopped by a man and a woman.

"You are?"

The two looked like students, and Zhou Yan's first reaction was that they belonged to Yang Yin.

The boy smiled and said, "Hello, Teacher Zhou, we are from the Zhou Yanyan Normal University Support Club. I am the president Zuo Li, and she is the vice president Li Yuanyuan."

Zhou Yan was also stunned when he heard the boy introduce himself.

He had actually heard of the organization "Zhou Yanyan Normal University Supporters Association", but he heard that this organization didn't have many people. He thought it was a few students just having fun on their own, and it might be disbanded after a while.

Unexpectedly, the president and vice president of the support club found him directly.

This was the first time for Zhou Yan to face such a thing. He had little experience in dealing with it. He thought for a moment and asked, "Do you have anything to do with me?"

Vice President Li Yuanyuan smiled and said, "Teacher Zhou, I'm sorry for interrupting you. The president and I came here because we actually want to confirm something with you."

"What's the matter?" Zhou Yan asked.

"In the movie "San Mao Joins the Army" that was released a few days ago, in the scene where the army is working, is it you who is standing next to the protagonist?"

Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows. Is this why they came here?
Li Yuanyuan further explained, "Since we have organized your support meeting, we naturally want to know what works you have participated in. We also tried to call Shanghai Film Studio, but maybe the number we found was wrong, so we were not contacted. .”

Zhou Yan smiled. He didn't expect that his support staff would be so serious about preparing information, and would not miss even this small detail.

And their eyes are really sharp, they can spot this.

"It's indeed me. When I visited the set before, I happened to make a cameo. I didn't expect you to find out."

Both of them were very happy to get the answer.

"Thank you, Teacher Zhou Yan, I won't disturb you anymore."

After the two were about to leave, Zhou Yan stopped them with a smile, "Okay, I'll give you my assistant's contact information. If you have any questions in the future, you can contact my assistant."

Li Yuanyuan was surprised and said, "Really?"

"Of course it's true." Zhou Yan smiled, took out a pen and paper from his pocket, and wrote Jiang Xia's name and contact information to Zuo Li and the others.

He then thanked the two of them, "Thank you for your support, but I still hope that your studies will not be affected by the support club."

Zuo Li smiled and said, "Teacher Zhou, don't worry. We all use our spare time to run the support club. It will never affect our studies. Moreover, we are developing well now and have more than 30 members."

Although Zhou Yan didn't ask, Zuo Li couldn't help but report the development of the support club to Zhou Yan, which was also a form of asking for credit. After all, they also wanted their efforts to be seen by Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan smiled and nodded, "Thank you. If you need anything, you can contact my assistant."

"Okay, okay, we won't disturb you anymore."

After that, the two turned around and left.

After walking a long way, the two of them turned their heads and glanced at Zhou Yan's back.

Li Yuanyuan patted her shoulder bag and said angrily, "President, you are too cowardly. Why don't you dare to just take out the album and ask Teacher Zhou to sign it for us?"

Zuo Li curled his lips, "If you don't give in, you should pay for it."

"You are the president and our locomotive. If you don't charge into the battle, how can we wave the flag and shout from behind?"

"..."

Zuo Li was also a little annoyed. He had even put his hand into his bag just now, but in the end he still couldn't muster the courage.

"We should bring Shang Wenya."

Li Yuanyuan nodded, "I must bring Shang Wenya next time."

Shang Wenya is relatively thick-skinned. At Zhou Yan's graduation concert last time, Shang Wenya was the one who took photos to ask Zhou Yan for his autograph.

It's just that Shang Wenya was busy during this period, so Zuo Li and the others didn't call her. The main reason was that they were quite confident before coming and felt that they would definitely be able to get things done.

Now it seems that it is really not possible for this family to go to Shang Wenya.

Fortunately, they asked about the guest appearance in "Sanmao Joins the Army", which was considered a good thing.

"Let's distribute the flyers later." Li Yuanyuan suggested.

Zuo Li nodded, "Okay, it's almost done here in the West City. Let's go to the East City for a walk today."

"Okay, I just have time in these two days."

……

On Friday evening, Dong Wenmiao went to a movie theater near his home.

As she was going to the ticket office to buy tickets, a girl walked towards her with a smile.

"Hello sister."

The girl handed over a flyer.

Dong Wenmiao did not pick it up immediately. He first looked at the flyer. When he saw "Sanmao's Army Conscript" and "Zhou Yan" on it, he raised his eyebrows and took the flyer.

The content on the flyer is quite simple, just some words of praise for "Sanmao's Army" and Zhou Yan, and it seems to highlight Zhou Yan personally.

"This is?"

Seeing Dong Wenmiao's interest, Li Yuanyuan quickly introduced it to her, "This is a recently released movie, with the talented musician Zhou Yan as the soundtrack director. Did you know that Zhou Yan is the director of "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly"."

Dong Wenmiao pursed her lips and nodded, "Yes, I have seen this movie."

Li Yuanyuan was even more happy when she heard that Dong Wenmiao had watched "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" and introduced to her, "The short film version of this film won the grand prize at the Clermont-Ferrand International Film Festival, and it also premiered in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Daodu has achieved very good results, and the soundtrack is composed by Zhou Yan..."

Dong Wenmiao nodded while listening.

Li Yuanyuan became more and more enthusiastic as she talked. This was the first time she saw an audience who listened to her explanation patiently. This beautiful sister had great taste at first glance.

After Li Yuanyuan finished speaking, Dong Wenmiao asked curiously, "Why are you promoting him?"

"Because we are all fans of his movies and music." Li Yuanyuan pointed to the lower right corner of the flyer and showed it to Dong Wenmiao, "We are from Zhou Yan's support club."

Dong Wenmiao looked at the lower right corner of the flyer, where it said "Zhou Yanyan Normal University Support Club".

After pondering for a moment, she suddenly asked, "Does your support club only accept students from Yan Normal University? I am from Yan Guang, do you accept me?"

Li Yuanyuan was stunned. This was the first time she encountered such a situation. A passerby asked if she could join the support club.

"Yes, of course." Li Yuanyuan nodded repeatedly, "Sister, do you want to join?"

Although they are called Zhou Yanyan Normal University Support Club, they actually allow other people to join. Now there are more than 30 people in their support club, including one from Yenching University and one from Yangyin University.

"Are there any procedures required to join you? Or do I need to pay membership fees or something?" Dong Wenmiao asked again.

"No, no, although we have membership dues, we do not force members to pay. They all pay voluntarily based on individual circumstances."

"Then after I become a member, is there anything that can prove my identity?"

Li Yuanyuan was stunned again.

Seeing her stunned, Dong Wenmiao reminded, "For example, badges and clothing. Since it is a group, there must be a group logo."

Li Yuanyuan shook her head blankly. They had never thought about this, so they helped Zhou Yan promote it with enthusiasm.

"I suggest you design one, which will enhance members' sense of belonging."

Li Yuanyuan swallowed and asked, "Sister, what do you do?"

"I'm a tailor." Dong Wenmiao smiled.
