1990: Starting from Baojia Street

Chapter 165 The street where the wind lives

While everyone was watching, Gong Li walked out of the house. She saw Zhou Yan first and was about to say hello. Suddenly she saw Wang Zuxian behind Zhou Yan, so she directly ignored Zhou Yan and shouted to Wang Zuxian: "Xiao Xian, You’re here too.”

Gong Li went to Xiangjiang to film a movie before, and she and Wang Zuxian all knew each other.

Although we can't say that we are very familiar with each other, girls are much warmer when they meet.

Wang Zuxian also came up to greet her, "Sister Gong Li."

The two hugged each other, and then Gong Li took Wang Zuxian's hand and said, "Long time no see. She's become beautiful again. The same goes for Zhou Yan. He didn't even say a word to us when you came."

"Third brother didn't let me come in the first place." Wang Zuxian came up and complained.

Gong Li looked at Zhou Yan, "You can take care of Xiaoxian now."

Zhou Yan smiled and said, "If I didn't let her come, wouldn't she still come? As a director, I'm not very good at talking."

"When we were filming, you were the director. When you are not filming, you are younger than us." Gong Li smiled and asked Wang Zuxian, "Are you tired from the journey? Is it not easy to come from Yanjing?"

“It’s okay. The scenery on the road is nice. I came here to enjoy the scenery.”

Zhou Yan looked into the room, "Where are Director Zhang and the others?"

"He and Ge You went to do some business and will be back soon. You guys can come in and sit down first."

The courtyard they are in now is the last courtyard of the Xu family. The Xu family used to have three courtyards, but Fu Gui's father lost two houses.

Usually the crew is stationed near here, and the weather is very hot, but it's quite cool inside the house.

There was no tea in the yard, so Gong Li brought a few bottles of bottled water.

The few of them chatted for a while, and Zhao Lao walked in from outside.

"Brother Yan!"

Zhao Yan was overjoyed to see Zhou Yan. He had admired Zhou Yan since they met him in Chang'an.

When he went to study at Yangyin, this kind of admiration deepened. Not only did he admire Zhou Yan, but basically all the composition students in his generation worshiped Zhou Yan.

Talented senior brothers like Tan Dun and Chen Qigang are also very famous, but they are too far away from them and can't be seen or touched. But Zhou Yan is different. They have seen Zhou Yan's talent with their own eyes, and Zhou Yan is still their teacher.

This time, Zhao Yan was called by Zhou Yan to serve as his soundtrack assistant. He was so excited that he couldn't sleep for several nights.

Zhou Yan looked at Zhao Zhang up and down, and then joked, "It seems that the crew's food is pretty good. You've put on some weight."

Zhao Lao has indeed gained weight and tanned a lot. He seems to be running outside a lot.

"I'm swollen." Zhao Ku scratched his head in embarrassment.

"You're not causing any trouble to Director Zhang and the others here, are you?"

"Director Zhang and Sister Li both take good care of me."

Seeing that Zhao Ji's answer was wrong, Zhou Yan knew that this kid probably didn't give Zhang Yimou and the others any peace of mind.

He was about to say something about Zhao La, when Gong Li curled her lips and said, "This is the crew, and Zhao La is the soundtrack assistant, not your student, so put down your teacher's airs."

Wang Zuxian chuckled and said, "He's always like this."

"Yeah, when I first met him, I thought he was a sunny boy. Later I realized that this guy is young and old-fashioned."

Being squeezed by the two of them, Zhou Yan couldn't reply. He coughed lightly and said, "You guys talk here while I walk around the set."

"Well, you go ahead. It will probably take a while before they come back."

Zhou Yan nodded and said to Zhao Zhang, "Take me around."

"okay."

The two went out together, and before Zhou Yan could ask, Zhao Zhang took the initiative to report on his recent work.

"I have a record of every day's shooting. I also wrote down some of my feelings. The notebook is in my dormitory. Do you want to read it now?"

"Don't worry, let's watch it tonight."

"Okay, I'll bring it to you tonight."

The two of them came out of the yard, said hello to Luwei and the others, and then started walking around.

"This is Fugui's house. The casino is not far away. If you go that way from the back, you can see the house where Fugui and the others live behind. Just go to the right. We were filming there yesterday. ”

"There is a supply and marketing cooperative on this street, and we usually come here to buy things."

Zhoucun is an ancient shopping mall. The buildings are well preserved and have been restored later. It is much more popular than the Qiao Family Courtyard.

The weather is relatively hot now, otherwise it would be nice to take Wang Zuxian out for a walk. I don’t know what the night scene will be like at night.

The two of them walked along the streets of the mall. When they approached the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative, Zhou Yan saw a man sitting under the shade of a tree, holding a popsicle and chewing on it.

Zhou Yan smiled as soon as he saw this person. On the way here, he was still wondering if Yu Hua would be there, but he didn't expect that he actually bumped into him.

Yu Hua was sipping a popsicle while looking at a house opposite. Zhou Yan walked over and followed his gaze to look at the house opposite, but he didn't see anything special.

"What's so good about this house?"

The sudden sound in his ears scared Yu Hua so much that he stepped aside.

When he saw it was Zhou Yan, he couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "It shocked me to talk so close."

"What are you looking at?"

Yu Hua pointed to the opposite wall, "Look at that position."

Zhou Yan stared at the wall and looked again, but still didn't find anything special, "What's wrong with this wall?"

"This wall is freshly painted."

"Well, it looks like it was newly painted. What's the problem?"

"There are writings on the wall next to it."

Zhou Yan looked at another wall not far away, which read "It is better to have fewer children, and the country will provide for the elderly." This is a very normal slogan.

Although appearing in the ancient city is a bit eye-catching, what does it have to do with the wall next to it?

"Tell me, why was this wall painted? Is it because there were words on it before? What words were they and why were they painted away?"

Zhou Yan twitched his lips, "Is that why you stared at this wall for a long time?"

"What else?" Yu Hua took a sip of the popsicle and asked Zhou Yan, "Do you want to eat the popsicle?"

Zhou Yan thought that Yu Hua was going to treat him to some popsicles. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Yu Hua say, "They charge 10 cents for a mung bean popsicle here. Buy two and get one free. You go buy two and the free one will be given to you." I."

"..."

Zhou Yan glanced at the supply and marketing cooperative and was a little confused. Can this kind of supply and marketing cooperative carry out such activities?

With the continuous development of the market economy, the situation of supply and marketing cooperatives has been very poor in the past two years. I heard that this year, supply and marketing cooperatives across the country have suffered widespread losses.

Compared with self-employed individuals, supply and marketing cooperatives have inflexible management and imperfect internal organizational mechanisms, and are completely uncompetitive.

It is impossible for ordinary supply and marketing cooperatives to offer buy two and get one free.

With doubts, Zhou Yan walked in and asked, "How do you sell popsicles?"

The girl in the store said, "Generally, sweet water popsicles and mung bean popsicles cost 10 cents each. Buy two and get one free. There are also sugar cones that cost 20 cents each. Buy three for only 50 cents. There is also a dollar each. of cream ice cream, buy one and get a cone free.”

Hearing this series of introductions, Zhou Yan couldn't help but be amazed. The salesperson from the supply and marketing cooperative was quite capable in business. The key point was that Zhou Yan hadn't seen a salesperson from the supply and marketing cooperative with such a good attitude for a long time.

Salespersons in supply and marketing cooperatives are considered to be iron rice bowls, or even golden rice bowls. Most of the salespersons in supply and marketing cooperatives are considered good if they don't show off to customers. How can they be so enthusiastic?

This supply and marketing cooperative is a bit special.

Zhou Yan stretched his head and looked inside the freezer, "How many popsicles do you have?"

Although the salesperson didn't know why Zhou Yan asked, he still picked up the book on the counter, looked at it, and replied, "There are still twenty-five mung bean popsicles, twenty-eight sweet water popsicles, eleven sugar cones, and five cream ice creams." Only."

"If I buy them all, how much will I have to pay?"

The salesperson raised his eyebrows and quickly calculated, "Five cream popsicles are five yuan, and five cones are free. The remaining six cones are one yuan. The sweet water popsicles and mung bean popsicles add up to fifty-three. Buy fifty. Each one costs two yuan and four, a total of eight yuan and four. If you want to buy it, I will give you the remaining two sweet water popsicles."

Zhou Yan took out ten dollars from his pocket and said, "I want these popsicles and a bottle of water."

The salesperson smiled and said, "Water costs one dollar, and I'll give you another six cents."

Zhou Yan waved his hand, "No need to look for Liujia. Could you please help me deliver the popsicles to the crew in the south?"

"No problem." The salesman found sixty cents from the drawer, stuffed it into his pocket, and then started filling Zhou Yan's popsicles.

This girl is very decisive. Now she is the only one in the supply and marketing cooperative. She is not afraid of theft in the store if she leaves.

Zhou Yan took out three sticks of cream ice cream and gave one to Zhao Zhang, "You can give this to the little girl. The remaining two cream ice creams will be given to you, Sister Li and Sister Xiaoxian, and the rest will be shared with the others."

"Make sure to complete the mission."

Zhou Yan walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative with two ice creams, gave one to Yu Hua, and sat down next to Yu Hua.

Yu Hua looked at the popsicle and said, "Good boy, the quality is so high."

Zhou Yan didn't answer the question and asked him, "When did you come?"

"I've been here for two or three days."

"Sister-in-law is at home alone? She's about to give birth."

"Well, it's almost time. I just came here to see her before she gave birth. I won't go anywhere this time, I will just stay with her until she gives birth."

"Are you nervous?"

"Why are you nervous? Giving birth is a natural law. You have to let nature take its course. Besides, I am also a doctor, so I still have experience in this area."

"Aren't you a dentist?"

"Our hospital also has an obstetrics and gynecology department."

After taking a few bites of the ice cream, Zhou Yan felt that the heat in his body had been dissipated a lot, and it was very cool under the shade of the tree. No wonder Yu Hua wanted to sit here.

"Is there a cucumber patch near here?" Zhou Yan suddenly asked.

"It's true. There was a piece of land next to where Fugui and the others lived. There were cucumbers in it, but there weren't any melons."

Zhou Yan just said it casually and wanted to tease Yu Hua, but he didn't expect that he actually went to investigate. This guy really has a soft spot for cucumbers.

After a while, Yu Hua said, "How about we go and visit again tonight?"

Zhou Yan rolled his eyes, "I won't do it."

"Then if I get it back, don't eat it."

"We'll talk about it when you get it back."

……

The two chatted for a while, and then the salesperson and Zhao Zhang came back, followed by several people, including Wang Zuxian, Gong Li and Zhang Yimou.

"Director Zhang." Zhou Yan said hello, patted his butt and stood up, "Why are you here?"

Zhang Yimou explained, "When I went back and heard that you were here, I told you to take you around. I finally came here, but I can't let you come in vain. I have to walk around to find inspiration for you. They If you hear it, you should come out too."

Zhou Yan glanced at Wang Zuxian and said, "Don't call me hot for a while."

Hearing what Zhou Yan said, she was quite unconvinced, "Am I that delicate?"

Gong Li laughed and said, "Let's explore this street first. Why don't we take Zhou Yan to the casino in front first?"

"Okay, let's move forward."

Zhou Yan and the others left, and Yu Hua followed them.

Along the way, Zhang Yimou introduced to Zhou Yan where Fugui's father-in-law's family was, where was the brothel, and where was the casino.

It was late afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, and no one was outside. There were a few old men and women sitting in some alleys, shaking their fans and chatting, while looking at Zhou Yan and the others.

When we were almost walking to the street, a burst of erhu music suddenly sounded not far away, and the famous erhu song "Er Quan Ying Yue" was played.

Judging from the sound, it should have come from an alley ahead.

Yu Hua asked Zhou Yan, "Can you play the erhu?"

"I know a little."

"Why do you know a little bit about everything? You said before that you also know a little bit about playing the flute."

Zhou Yan laughed and said, "Erhu is really a little bit tricky, but for us, it is easy to get started."

In fact, for Zhou Yan, it is relatively easy to get started with most instruments. Even if it is an instrument he has never seen before, he can figure it out as long as he watches someone play it once. Musical instruments are always the same, no matter what they are. There are only a few ways that musical instruments can produce sound.

The main thing is that Zhou Yan has an absolute sense of pitch. Even if you give him a pile of broken tiles, he can knock out a tune without even needing reference notes.

However, it is easy to get started, but it is still difficult to master it.

Zhou Yan can play a few conventional instruments and explore the instruments more, which helps a lot in orchestration.

"How do you play the erhu?"

Zhou Yan thought for a while and said, "Erhu is good."

The implication is that this person pulls it off.

Several people continued to walk forward and reached the edge of the alley where the sound came from.

There were many people gathered in the alley, mostly old men and women. In the middle sat an old man in his sixties or seventies, who was playing the erhu.

Zhang Yimou said unexpectedly, "Hey, Secretary Chen."

"Do you know Director Zhang?"

Gong Li answered for Zhang Yimou, "This is the brigade secretary of Zhoucun, Mr. Chen. We film here and have frequent contact with him."

Secretary Chen also noticed Zhang Yimou and the others. He kept pointing his fingers and nodded to them as a greeting.

Now that they have met, Zhang Yimou and the others are not in a hurry to leave.

After the song "Two Springs Reflect the Moon" ended, Zhou Yan and the others applauded.

Secretary Chen put down his erhu and came over, "Director Zhang, are you looking for me?"

Zhang Yimou smiled and shook his head, "No, this is Zhou Yan, our crew's music director. He just came from Yanjing. I'll show him around."

When he heard that Zhou Yan was the soundtrack director, Secretary Chen's eyes lit up, "Musician."

"Hey, I don't dare take it seriously." Zhou Yan said modestly.

Zhang Yimou helped Zhou Yan brag, "Zhou Yan is a worthy artist. His music albums have sold millions of copies all over the world, and he has also held concerts in Taiwan and Hong Kong."

Secretary Chen has no idea about the number of millions, but the fact that he has held concerts in Hong Kong and Taiwan is very important in his eyes.

"Then you have incredible musical attainments." Secretary Chen pointed at the group of old men and women behind him, "We are all music lovers, but we are all just thinking about it. With a real musician like you There’s no comparison.”

Yu Hua suddenly said, "He can also play the erhu."

Upon hearing that Zhou Yan could also play the erhu, Secretary Chen immediately extended an invitation enthusiastically, "Director Zhou, do you want to play a song for us? Let us also experience it?"

Before Zhou Yan could speak, Secretary Chen turned back to the group of old men and women and said, "We welcome the music master from Yanjing with a round of applause." The old men and women also cooperated and applauded vigorously.

This applause made Zhou Yan stand up.

Zhou Yan looked back at Yu Hua, and then said to Secretary Chen, "Then I'd rather be respectful than obey your orders."

After saying that, he went to get the erhu from Secretary Chen.

After Zhou Yan left, Gong Li whispered, "Brother Yu Hua, try to hold Zhou Yan over. What if he doesn't pull it well?"

Yu Hua smiled and said, "You've known him for so long. How could he have walked through without two brushes? And a little bit of him is a lot."

"I really haven't heard him play the erhu." Gong Li looked at Wang Zuxian, "Xiaoxian, have you ever heard him play the erhu?"

Wang Zuxian shook his head, "Me neither."

Zhao Lao said, "Brother Yan can play any musical instrument, and his orchestration is famous in the school."

Zhang Yimou smiled and said, "Is there anything your brother Yan is not famous for in school?"

"Well, that's true."

A few people were chatting here, and Zhou Yan was already sitting on a chair with an erhu.

Zhou Yan first briefly tried the sound of the erhu, then took a deep breath and raised his hand to pull it up.

His erhu level is really average, but a little better than Secretary Chen. After all, he came from a music major, and he can avoid many mistakes that folk musicians tend to make.

Since it was a public performance, Zhou Yan naturally had to play a piece he was familiar with.

Among the famous erhu songs, Zhou Yan's favorite is "Birds on the Empty Mountain" composed by erhu master Liu Tianhua. Unlike the sadness of "Er Fountain Reflects the Moon", this piece is overall lively and interesting.

The original song has five sections, as well as an introduction and an ending. However, Zhou Yan made some adjustments on the spot, discarding the original introduction with decorative sounds, and then temporarily skipped one or two sections, and directly started playing the third, fourth, and fifth sections.

Paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 use various Foley techniques to depict a cheerful scene of birds singing together. Zhou Yan changed it this way, mainly focusing on taking the lead and catching people off guard.

This trick also works well.

Although Zhou Yan's Foley skills were extraordinary, he shocked the old men and ladies.

Darling, this erhu playing is so vivid.

Yu Hua and others didn't know much about erhu, and they thought Zhou Yan played it very well. Only Zhao Zhang knew that Zhou Yan's erhu skills were average.

However, Zhao Lao doesn’t think there is anything wrong with Zhou Yan’s erhu performance. Originally, the composer didn’t need to be too proficient in the instrument, as long as he could play widely.

Compared with other composers, Zhou Yan's erhu skills are already good enough.

"What kind of song is this? I've never heard it before." Gong Li asked in a low voice.

Zhao Lao said, "This is "The Sound of Birds in the Empty Mountain" created by Mr. Liu Tianhua, a famous erhu master."

"Well, no wonder I can hear the chirping of birds."

After finishing the third, fourth and fifth paragraphs, Zhou Yan entered the first and second paragraphs, and finally changed the ending part.

With this change, it feels like a group of birds are playing and chasing each other on the way home, and finally slowly disappear into the forest, and everything becomes silent.

When Zhou Yan finished his song, the old men and women spontaneously applauded without being directed by Secretary Chen.

"it is good."

"Pull beautifully."

"sounds amazing."

"It feels like a bird chirping."

"One more song."

Zhou Yan was about to return the erhu to Secretary Chen, who said with a smile, "Director Zhou, everyone likes to listen so much, why don't you... play another one?"

"Yeah, let's play one more."

"sounds so good."

Facing such an offbeat encore, Zhou Yan had no choice but to nod, "Then I'll play another one."

Secretary Chen clasped his hands and said, "Thank you, thank you very much."

After Secretary Chen walked away, Zhou Yan thought for a while about what song he should play.

There were only so many Erhu tunes he was familiar with. Secretary Chen had just played "Erhu Yingyue", and he didn't really want to play it.

Just when he was in trouble, a breeze blew from afar. The wind stumbled in the alley, became chaotic, and moved among the crowd.

The strings of the erhu were caressed by the chaotic breeze, making sounds that only Zhou Yan could hear. They were like greetings, accusations, lamentations, and joy. All kinds of complex emotions were wrapped in the strings, and were finally heard by the breeze. take away.

The wind was quite strong, but except for Zhou Yan, no one seemed to take it seriously.

Looking at the leaves blowing in the wind in the distance, Zhou Yan was thoughtful. After a while, he took a pose and raised his hand to play.

As soon as the tune came out, everyone could hear a touch of sadness in it, like a mother looking forward to a wanderer at home who has not returned for a long time, or a wife looking forward to her husband on the battlefield.

Yu Hua suddenly remembered an ancient poem, "I left in the past, and the willows lingered, but now I come to think about it, the rain and snow are falling." When he heard this song, what appeared in his mind was the scene of willows blowing in the wind by the river.

Relatives who have gone far away don’t know when they will see each other again.

Originally, the old ladies were waiting to hear a song like "The Sound of Birds on the Empty Mountain", but unexpectedly this was what they were waiting for.

The old man is emotionally sensitive, and he can't hold back when he listens to this kind of longing music.

The older you get, the more separations you have experienced. Many of the people present are elderly people living alone. Their significant other may have left long ago, and this song brings back their memories.

Some people are gone but can still look forward to it; some people are gone but can never come back.

Gong Li sighed slightly and asked Zhao Zhang again, "What is the name of this piece of music?"

Zhao Zao shook his head blankly, "I haven't heard of it."

"It seems that you are still not good at your studies."

Zhao Lao shook his head again, "I suspect that Brother Yan wrote this song himself."

"..."

Although this piece of music is very ancient, traces of modern composition can be seen. This type of music is also one of Zhou Yan's masterpieces.

"Really?"

Yu Hua nodded and said, "I think it's possible. I've seen him do this kind of thing before."

What he was talking about was "Borrowing Cucumber". That time he actually watched Zhou Yan improvise a new tune, so now he has no doubt about Zhou Yan's talent.

Over there, after Zhou Yan played the second piece of music, old men and women also clapped, but this time the intensity of the applause was obviously much weaker than before. Many old people were still immersed in the memories evoked by this piece of music.

Zhou Yan didn't say anything, stood up, bowed to greet the audience, and then returned the erhu to Secretary Chen.

"Director Zhou, forgive me for being ignorant, but which master is this piece of music?"

Secretary Chen had heard the song "The Sound of Birds on the Empty Mountain" just now, but he had never heard of this one. He was a little embarrassed when asked about this. After all, he was so old and usually boasted of his erhu repertoire. He can play any erhu tune, at least he has heard most of it.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yan played a song that he had never heard of today.

Zhou Yan smiled and said, "It's not from any master. I wrote it myself. It's normal that you haven't heard of it, Secretary Chen."

"Oh."

Secretary Chen breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that Director Zhou had written it himself. No wonder he hadn’t heard it... Hey, no, this piece of music was written by Director Zhou himself? !

He looked at Zhou Yan, his eyes full of surprise.

"Director Zhou wrote it yourself...?"

His voice was a bit loud, and Gong Li and the others heard it.

Zhao Lao showed a proud expression, which meant, look, I just said Brother Yan wrote it himself.

Zhang Yimou touched his forehead and a smile appeared on his face. Sure enough, it was no problem to find Zhou Yan to score the music. There is nothing to say about this guy's talent.

The old men and women were also very surprised at this moment. They thought Zhou Yan was an erhu player, but they didn't expect that he could write music.

Gong Li asked, "What's the name of this piece of music?"

"The streets where the wind lives."

……

When leaving the alley, Wang Zuxian glanced at the old man and old lady behind him and said, "Those grandparents are still watching you off."

"Oh, I just saw the two aunties shed tears. Zhou Yan's song is really touching." Gong Li said.

Zhang Yimou asked, "Zhou Yan, can this piece of music be included in "Alive"?"

He felt that this sad mood was very suitable for "Alive".

Zhou Yan thought for a while and said, "It's undecided for now. I'll decide on the overall soundtrack style later."

Zhang Yimou nodded, "No problem, everything is up to you."

"Where are we going to hang out now?"

"Let's go to the house where Fugui and the others lived later. It's a long walk."

Fugui and the others later lived in that kind of earthen house, which was not very attractive. Zhou Yan also went to the vegetable field next to it to see that there were indeed cucumber seedlings in it, and indeed there were no cucumbers left.

After seeing this place, Zhou Yan and the others went back.

When passing by the supply and marketing cooperative, Zhou Yan went in again and asked the saleswoman if the popsicles were sold and whether they would be available tomorrow.

"Yes, of course, if you want it."

"I don't want it." Zhou Yan smiled, then pointed at Wang Zuxian behind him, "If she buys it, she will give you fifty cream ice creams tomorrow."

"And I'll give you fifty cones," the girl said.

"Send them all together."

"Fifty dollars total."

Zhou Yan looked at Wang Zuxian and said, "Classmate Xiaoxian, please pay."

Wang Zuxian didn't say anything, just took out a fifty yuan note from his wallet and gave it to the little girl.

The little girl knew Wang Zuxian, and when she got the fifty yuan, she didn't even check whether it was genuine or not, and just kept it.

After walking out of the supply and marketing cooperative, Zhang Yimou said with a smile, "I've spent a lot of money on both of you this time."

"Come to visit the class. It's right to reward the staff, and it doesn't cost me money."

"You also know it's not your money." Wang Zuxian muttered.

"That's right, you bought only mung bean popsicles and sweet water popsicles, and asked Xiaoxian to buy ice cream." Gong Li complained for Wang Zuxian.

"She didn't even pay me the fare when she came to my car."

"Hey, you kid is so meticulous, ask Director Zhang to reimburse you for the fare later."

Hearing that the fare was to be reported, Zhang Yimou speeded up his pace unconsciously.

Gong Li smiled again from behind, "Hey, he ran away as soon as I mentioned the money."

A few people came to the yard talking and laughing, and the staff were all thanking Zhou Yan for buying them popsicles. In fact, the popsicles were not worth much, but it was a hot day and everyone was very happy to get free popsicles.

As soon as they arrived home, Secretary Chen came again and said he wanted to treat Zhou Yan and the others to dinner.

Zhou Yan naturally declined, but the old man insisted.

"Director Zhou, before I left home, I asked them to kill the chicken. If you don't go now, my chicken will be killed in vain. Let's go and have fried chicken in the evening."

Before Zhou Yan could speak, Yu Hua nudged him with her elbow, "Secretary Chen kindly invites you, it would be inappropriate not to go."

"Then, shall we go there tonight?"

"That's right. We agreed that you will all go there together in the evening and I will wait for you at home."

After saying that, Secretary Chen left.

Zhou Yan looked at Yu Hua, "You..."

"The fried chicken here is particularly delicious and famous," Yu Hua said.

Zhou Yan remained silent when he heard that the fried chicken was particularly delicious.

……

Zhou Yan and the others went to a banquet in the evening, and of course they couldn't go empty-handed. They also bought a lot of things from the supply and marketing cooperative.

During the meal, Secretary Chen kept asking Zhou Yan about the music. When he learned that the music had only been played here, he offered Zhou Yan three glasses of wine.

Secretary Chen’s son also came home. The father and son drank with great fighting spirit, and the whole audience drank from beginning to end.

When Zhou Yan and the others came out of Secretary Chen's house, they were all dizzy. Even though Zhou Yan had a good drinking capacity, he was basically in the right place.

I have to say that when it comes to drinking, people from Shandong Province are really good at it.

That’s not to say that everyone in Shandong Province can drink. In fact, Secretary Chen and his son’s drinking capacity is not exaggerated. They are just a little better than Zhou Yan. But they are very capable of drinking to create atmosphere, and they are the kind of people who can drink eight liang and one drink. Lord of the pound.

Drinking is like fighting. If you don't drink your guests properly, they will feel that they are not worthy of the meal.

As for their fried chicken, it is indeed delicious. There are no condiments in it, it just tastes good.

Zhou Yan originally said to read Zhao Zhang's group notes, but since he was dizzy after drinking, he naturally put the matter aside and went to bed after washing up.

At night, Zhou Yan and Yu Hua slept in the same room, Wang Zuxian and Gong Li slept in the same room, and Wang Xiaoshuai and Li Hong lived in Zhao La's room.

The next morning, when Zhou Yan got up, Yu Hua was no longer in the house. He got up, washed up, and then went to the casino with Wang Zuxian. There was a scene at the casino today.

Wang Xiaoshuai and Li Hong had arrived a long time ago and finally came to the "Alive" crew. Of course they wanted to learn more from Zhang Yimou and the others.

This kid Li Hong has already started helping the crew.

Some people in the crew joked that Li Hong's diligence was similar to Zhou Yan's demeanor in Qiao's courtyard.

Halfway through the filming of the morning scene, Yu Hua, who had not been seen since the morning, came to the set with several cucumbers in his hands.

When he arrived in front of Zhou Yan, he first handed him a cucumber, and then said with a smile, "Guess what I saw outside?"

"See the cucumber?"

Yu Hua shook his head, "No, a wooden sign was erected on the side of the alley yesterday."

"Wooden brand?" Zhou Yan asked doubtfully.

"Well, the wooden sign says: The street where the wind lives."
