1990: Starting from Baojia Street

Zhou Yan dialed the general manager's office on the internal line and asked about the school-enterprise cooperation. Liu Hang came directly over with the plan.

When Zhou Yan saw the plan of more than ten pages, his face was full of surprise. From the time he gave the matter to Liu Hang, it had taken less than three days, and Liu Hang had actually produced such a thick plan. His efficiency was really high.

"Actually, there's no need to be so anxious. Our studio doesn't advocate squeezing employees' rest time."

Liu Hang smiled and said, "It didn't take too long. I wasn't very busy these two days, so I took advantage of the time to make a plan. Of course, because the time was short, this plan is still rough and needs to be revised later."

Zhou Yan smiled, said nothing more, and opened the plan to read it.

Liu Hang said that the plan was rather rough, but in Zhou Yan's opinion, the plan was already very well done. All the points that should be taken into consideration were written in, and the details were basically reflected.

The only rough part is probably the layout.

What makes Zhou Yan most satisfied is Liu Hang's planning of students' time.

Originally, Zhou Yan wanted to ask the school for a copy of the student's schedule so that he could arrange the student's time, but Liu Hang had already obtained the schedule and pasted the schedule information into the plan.

He made different time plans for students of different grades.

In addition, he also made a more detailed skill assessment method to determine the students' skill level.

Students' income in the studio is divided into two parts. The first is the basic subsidy. The amount of this subsidy is positively correlated with the skill level assessment. As long as the students work enough hours per month, they can get a subsidy corresponding to their skill level. The second is the project allowance. There is a fixed allowance formula based on the project the students participate in.

There are five levels of basic subsidies, from level one to level five. The highest level one basic subsidy is basically the same as the basic salary of formal employees.

This subsidy is very high.

The country has implemented a two-day weekend since May 1 last year, and the studio has also actively responded to the policy, adopting a five-day, eight-hour work system, with basically around 170 working hours per month.

The students in the school-enterprise cooperation program are only required to work 40 hours a month, which is less than a quarter of the regular employees. However, they can get the same basic salary as regular employees, which is of course very high.

However, it is not easy to reach the first-class level. If a student's skill level can reach the first-class, his salary after becoming a formal employee will definitely not be comparable to that of ordinary employees.

In addition, these students are not formal employees after all, and their benefits are definitely not as good as those of formal employees.

Formal employees working in Zhou Yan Studio will receive housing subsidies of varying amounts depending on their years of service, as well as red envelopes for weddings and childbirths, not to mention holiday benefits.

Liu Hang had one very detailed consideration, which was to convert the students' internship time into length of service.

As long as students enter the studio and become full-time employees after graduation, the length of time they have worked in the studio before can be directly converted into length of service. In other words, they have the opportunity to become old employees right after graduation and enjoy the benefits that only old employees can enjoy.

This rule is also set up to attract students to stay in the studio after graduation.

After Zhou Yan read the plan roughly, he said, "This plan is very well done, but I have something to add."

"Well, please go ahead, boss."

"First, regarding the level assessment, your assessment is very targeted. It assesses students' work ability, but I think students should not underestimate their studies in school. Therefore, I think students' academic performance in school should be included in the assessment content. I forgot to tell you this last time."

Liu Hang nodded, "Okay, I'll add that in."

"Secondly, in your plan, you directly assign departments and positions to students. I think this is inappropriate. You should first set up a management training department to gather these students together and make unified arrangements. In the early stage, you should implement a rotation system so that students can take turns to stay in each department for a period of time. On the one hand, it allows students to find a position that suits them. On the other hand, it also allows them to have a more systematic understanding of film and television production, recording and other work. Only by understanding the whole process can we have a bird's-eye view."

"This method is good, so how long is the appropriate rotation period?"

Zhou Yan thought for a moment and said, "Let's tentatively set it at fourteen days for each department, and then adjust it based on the situation later."

The situations in each department of the studio are different, and the difficulty for students to integrate is also different. Zhou Yan is unable to determine the rotation time for the time being, and can only explore it step by step.

Zhou Yan originally wanted to let the students experience each position, but there were too many positions in the studio, and it would be a waste of time to try every position.

Moreover, there is no need for them to try out many positions in the Film and Television Department, such as props, makeup, and lighting. They only need to have a brief understanding of them, or even not understand them at all.

In the Film and Television Department, what students need to understand mainly is the post-production process of the film.

"Does this management training department need to set up a separate office?"

"Of course, and we will also appoint a department head. All future school-enterprise cooperation matters will be handled by this department head."

"Boss, do you have a candidate?"

"Not yet, you can just take over the job first. Don't worry, it won't take too long, I'll find someone for you."

Liu Hang smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I will start by building up this department in the early stages."

Zhou Yan nodded. "Please work harder to perfect this plan. I will go to the school to discuss it with the leaders in a few days. Also, please notify them to hold a meeting at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Ask the heads of various departments to be present. In addition, invite Jiang Mengfei as well."

As soon as Liu Hang heard Zhou Yan was going to call Jiang Mengfei, he knew the theme of this meeting, "Are they going to announce something about the TV series?"

"Well, let's announce it first so that everyone has an idea. The specific time of establishment will be determined later."

"Our studio is getting bigger and bigger." Liu Hang sighed.

"The studio is developing better and better, and you, as the general manager, have made an indelible contribution."

"I don't dare to take credit for this. I'm just doing a service for you."

"There is no need to be modest. In marching and fighting, the importance of logistics cannot be ignored."

Zhou Yan has always been very satisfied with Liu Hang, although Liu Hang seemed to do nothing. Just like he said, he was just doing logistics.

But Zhou Yan knew that a good fighter does not have great achievements. Sometimes the effect cannot be seen, but it means that the effect is great. Although the scale of the studio is not particularly large, it is not easy to manage it so well.

A good manager can nip problems in the bud rather than waiting until problems arise before trying to find solutions.

Some managers seem very capable and seem to be able to solve many problems, but in fact, many problems can be prevented in advance, and there is no need to wait until problems arise and then spend manpower and resources to solve them.

Bian Que said that his medical skills were not as good as his elder brother's because his elder brother could diagnose diseases by observing the spirit and cure them without taking on any physical form. Although this was Bian Que's humble words, they were not without reason.

To observe a person's ability, you must see the essence through the phenomenon.

After such a long time, Liu Hang's management has not hindered the studio's progress, and the logistics have always been able to keep up.

With Liu Hang around, Zhou Yan doesn't have to worry too much about running the studio.

……

The two chatted for a few more sentences, and as soon as Liu Hang stood up, Yu Hua appeared at the door pushing Shi Tiesheng.

"Teacher Yu Hua, Teacher Tie Sheng, you are here." Liu Hang greeted them with a smile.

"Boss Liu, did I delay your work?" Yu Hua said with a smile. "No, I'm leaving now, you guys can chat."

After Liu Hang left, Yu Hua pushed Shi Tiesheng to the sofa and very skillfully took out half a pack of cigarettes from under the coffee table. He first gave one to Shi Tiesheng and then lit one for himself.

After taking two puffs, Yu Hua frowned and said, "This cigarette is a little damp."

Zhou Yan smiled and said, "In the future, take the cigarettes back directly, don't leave them with me. Of course, they will become damp after a long time."

"The cigarettes are yours. It's embarrassing for us to eat them and take them."

"I didn't realize you were someone who would be embarrassed." Zhou Yan teased.

"Then you don't know me well enough." Yu Hua chuckled and said, "The weather in Yanjing is already autumn, and I didn't expect the smoke to be so humid."

"Do you want me to give you a new pack?"

"No, don't waste it."

Shi Tiesheng also nodded, "That's good. He said it was tide, but I didn't feel it at all."

Zhou Yan walked over and sat down with a teacup in his arms, and said with a smile, "It's been a while since you came here. What's the matter today?"

"because this."

Yu Hua was wearing a thick jacket today. At this moment, he took out a folded newspaper from his arms and then unfolded it.

Zhou Yan stretched his head and looked. It was a copy of the Yenching Evening News. The title of the report that Yu Hua showed him was: The concert commemorating the 130th anniversary of Sun Yat-sen’s birth concluded successfully, and young musician Zhou Yan won the first award.

Seeing this title, Zhou Yan also raised his eyebrows.

He only won the second prize, but it was directly mentioned in the headline. If you didn’t know, just looking at the headline, you would think he won the biggest prize.

The content of the news was not misleading at all. The names of the first and second prize winners were announced very clearly. However, due to limited space, the names of the winners of the subsequent awards were not listed.

The report included two photos, one of which was a group photo of the first and second prize winners.

When these two photos are put together, the most eye-catching person is Zhou Yan, who is standing in the center in the photo below. All the other people in the two photos are of Zhou Yan’s grandfather generation, and he is the only young man.

While Zhou Yan was looking at the photos, Yu Hua said with a smile, "You won an award without making any noise. The key is that you hid this work too well. This time Xu Sanguan can be said to have made a great contribution to his family..."

"Xu Sanguan?" Zhou Yan asked doubtfully.

Seeing Zhou Yan's confusion, Yu Hua also became confused, "Isn't the song you won the award for "Xu Sanguan"? "

Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows and continued reading. Sure enough, he saw the introduction to his winning song at the back. It said "Symphony No. 3" (also known as "Xu Sanguan"). The organizing committee should have revealed the original name of the song to the newspaper.

Yu Hua said that Zhou Yan kept it a secret because he had never told them before that he was going to write a song called "Xu Sanguan".

This morning, Shi Tiesheng was the first to see the news. He immediately called Yu Hua and told him the news. Then the two of them came to the studio together.

"This piece has never been performed publicly before. I was thinking of telling you about it next time I perform it. Actually, you have heard a little bit of this piece. The Piano Youth Orchestra practiced it before, and you also heard a little bit of it."

"Which one..." Yu Hua just asked, and then asked with bright eyes, "Is it the one with the particularly beautiful polyphony? You told me at that time that you didn't have a name for it yet."

Hearing Yu Hua talking about polyphony, Zhou Yan secretly sighed. It was different after hearing it so many times. Yu Hua even knew about polyphony now.

Polyphony is very simple musical knowledge, but for an outsider, it is not easy to hear it. At least it shows that Yu Hua is not just listening blindly, but has done some research.

The key is that Yu Hua was able to think of this song first, which shows that he has a good sense of music and can think of the connection between the song and "Xu Sanguan".

"Yes, that's the one." Zhou Yan nodded and replied.

Yu Hua laughed, "I said I felt something when I heard that song. It turns out it was "Xu Sanguan". Did you record this song? Give me a copy."

"Of course I have." Zhou Yan stood up and walked to the bookshelf, taking out a disc from it. "I recorded a simple version, the quality is average."

This piece of music is too big, and it takes a lot of time to rehearse in order to record it well. During the previous recording, the band did not have a very good grasp of the piece of music.

"Play it for us."

Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you sure you want to listen now? This is more than half an hour."

"Listen, of course I will. That's what we are here for."

Seeing that he insisted, Zhou Yan nodded, went over, put the CD into the speaker and started playing.

After that, he ignored Yu Hua and the others, sat down behind his desk and went back to his work.

He doesn't have time now to listen to music with Yu Hua and the others.

Yu Hua and the others knew that Zhou Yan was very busy, so they did not disturb him. Instead, they smoked cigarettes and enjoyed the music.

When Yu Hua heard the excerpt for the first time, he had a strong feeling about this piece of music because he liked Bach.

There is an interesting story about Bach in Yu Hua's family.

Although Yu Hua is very free and easy, he is no different from ordinary parents when it comes to educating his children.

When Haiguo was six months old, he didn't show any special performance except eating, drinking, defecating, urinating and sleeping. Yu Hua was a little anxious and wanted to cultivate some interests in his son.

In addition to literature, Yu Hua himself likes classical music. However, it is too early to cultivate literary talent in a six-month-old child, so he decided to let his son listen to classical music.

In order to cultivate her son's musical aesthetic, Yu Hua carefully selected three famous piano pieces, including one from Bach's "Well-Tempered Clavier".

After selecting the song, he would play it on loop every day before Haiguo went to bed, and then play it on loop again after Haiguo woke up.

This went on for nearly a year. Yu Hua discovered that whenever Haiguo heard Bach, he would shake his head. He was very proud of himself and felt that his aesthetic taste had successfully influenced his son.

Until one day, Haiguo’s grandmother came and played a song "Little Swallow" for Haiguo.

When Haiguo heard this song, she was much more excited than when she heard Bach. From then on, Haiguo never listened to Bach again and must listen to "Little Swallow".

This made Yu Hua very frustrated. After all, he had worked hard for this for a year, but was ultimately undone by a song called "Little Swallow".

Of course, this did not affect his love for Bach.

It is hard to say whether Yu Hua's writing style is influenced by Bach, but his works are indeed somewhat similar to Bach's characteristics.

Now that he knew the song was called "Xu Sanguan", he had a preconceived idea. When he listened to the song again, he felt that it was very consistent with "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood". (End of this chapter)
