1990: Starting from Baojia Street

Chapter 59 This guy is serious (3.7nd update [-]k)

Zhou Yan found Jia Guoping in the piano room. As soon as he talked about the handover of the class teacher's job, Jia Guoping pulled Zhou Yan to complain.

"I really didn't expect that after I stayed in school, there would be so many things. I haven't graduated yet, and I have to start handing over work to Li Bingyang. If there is anything in the 88th grade now, Li Bingyang is not willing to do it, so he comes to me. .”

Zhou Yan smiled and said, "That's why I came to you. You have to help me go through the procedures and transfer me to your class."

"How to do it?" Jia Guoping asked with a grimace.

"You are the head teacher, you ask me?"

Jia Guoping said angrily, "You damn head teacher, Li Bingyang is lazier than anyone else in doing things and quicker than anyone else in picking up the slack."

Zhou Yan said with a smile, "I'm going to America soon, and my thoughts may have been all over the place. How can I help you properly? But you have to worry about me. I'll just stay in level one. Don't let me Stay two levels.”

Jia Guoping patted his chest and said, "Don't worry about this. I will go to the teaching office later and ask what procedures you need to go through, and I will handle it for you. In fact, you have nothing to learn in the third grade. When I go to class in the future, you Can you help me lead a group of students?"

Zhou Yan curled his lips and said, "You still said that Li Bingyang is quick to pick jobs. You haven't even taken up the post yet, and you have started to assign tasks to me. Teacher Jia, you have a different status now, so you have to shoulder the responsibility. From now on. , I am just a little flower in your class, you have to take good care of me."

Jia Guoping put his arm around Zhou Yan's shoulders and said, "No kidding, I really need your help. I'm so busy now that I really can't take care of so many trivial things."

Hearing what Jia Guoping said, Zhou Yan nodded, "Okay, if you want me to help you with anything, just tell me."

"Good brother." Jia Guoping finally showed a smile, "There is one thing today. This is the beginning of school. The class has to count the application information of poor students. I will do the statistics myself for those of us who are 87, and you can help me if you are 88."

Zhou Yan then remembered that Jia Guoping was still the class monitor of 87 Composition. He was doing the work of 87 composition class monitor while also taking care of the work of 88 Composition class teacher.

"Okay, if you're 88, I'll help you with the statistics."

"You're so loyal. Actually, you don't need to do the statistics yourself. Help me inform Shen Huaigang, the class monitor of 88th grade. Do you know him?"

Zhou Yan nodded, "I know you. Are you the one who wears her hair parted in the middle and likes to put on hair wax?"

"That's him. He lives in Room 403 above us. Find him, ask him to collect the information, and then ask him to give you the collected information. You can then give it to me."

If it were later generations, Jia Guoping could just call Shen Huaigang and give instructions for this matter, but now he had to find Shen Huaigang and explain to him face to face.

"Okay, got it."

After receiving the task and walking out of the piano room, Zhou Yan couldn't help but shook his head. Why did he feel that something was different about him repeating a grade?

……

In the days that followed, Zhou Yan would either go to the study room or piano room to study his major, or help Jia Guoping share some work.

Because Zhou Yan is relatively well-known in the department, the 88-level juniors and juniors already know him, so when he went to help Jia Guoping with his work, these juniors and juniors also recognized him.

They didn't know Zhou Yan's specific situation, and thought that Zhou Yan was simply helping Jia Guoping. When they met, he still called him "Senior Brother Zhou Yan". Some students even called him Teacher Zhou Yan.

There are also some people who have heard that Zhou Yan is going to repeat the grade, but looking at Zhou Yan's assistant teacher's demeanor, it doesn't look like he is repeating the grade, so they doubt the authenticity of the news.

No matter what others call him, Zhou Yan always nods in response.

About a week later, in the afternoon, Zhou Yan was in the classroom teaching "Symphonic Orchestration" to the 88-level juniors.

There is no orchestration course for third-year students in the Composition Department of Yangyin University, but most students will learn orchestration-related content in advance, so they can understand what Zhou Yan said.

Zhou Yan originally came here to convey Jia Guoping's "will" to the students today, telling them that the class will go on an outing next week and asking them to prepare some things for the outing in advance, just in time for the end of the previous harmony class.

Several male classmates who were relatively familiar with Zhou Yan begged Zhou Yan to tell them about the fourth-grade class.

Although Zhou Yan himself has never been to the fourth grade, he still confidently taught these junior brothers and sisters about orchestration.

The reason why he is so confident is that he has not only learned these things himself, but has also been personally taught by Shi Wanchun.

"Bow handling is a profound knowledge. Many of you specialize in stringed instruments, so you must know a lot about this aspect..."

As he was talking, someone came to the door and shouted, "Senior Brother Zhou Yan, there is someone looking for you outside."

The person who called him was a junior in the piano department. Zhou Yan asked, "Who is looking for me?"

The junior brother shook his head and said, "I haven't seen her before. A big sister is waiting for you downstairs."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Zhou Yan nodded and said to the junior brothers and sisters of 88 Composition, "That's all for today. I'll talk about it next time when I have the chance."

"Ah, Senior Brother Zhou Yan, can you speak for a little longer? What you speak is much more interesting than Teacher Li, and it is easy to listen to it." Xu Lang, the youngest boy in the class, said sadly.

Zhou Yan frowned and said sternly, "You kid, don't talk nonsense. Teacher Li has your own teaching methods. Also, as for the content of orchestration, I just talk about it casually for you, just listen and play. Don't just think about it." With these in mind, focus on laying a solid foundation in harmony, musical form, and music history.”

"Okay, I'm leaving."

Zhou Yan waved his hand and walked out of the classroom.

After Zhou Yan left, the 88 Composition students began to discuss among themselves.

"Senior Brother Zhou Yan's lectures are really good. I can understand everything he says."

"Next time, let Senior Brother Zhou Yan teach us about orchestration."

"Senior Brother Zhou Yan asked us not to think about orchestration, but to focus on harmony and musical form first."

"Hey, Senior Brother Zhou Yan has not even finished his senior year in college, but he is so familiar with orchestration. This shows that he also learned it in advance."

"He can learn, so can you? Our teacher Jia graduated in three years."

"Yes, Senior Brother Zhou Yan is a genius."...

Zhou Yan went downstairs and saw Wang Junzheng standing by the flower bed downstairs.

"Sister Wang?" Zhou Yan walked over in surprise, "Why are you here? Didn't you go to Zhu City to film a movie?"

Wang Junzheng said with a smile, "I went and stayed for a few days, but I couldn't understand the language there and my living habits were completely different. I didn't feel anything there. I had no choice but to go back to Yanjing."

Zhou Yan asked with concern, "What's the plan next?"

"It was filmed in Yanjing."

When he heard that the film would be filmed in Yanjing, Zhou Yan smiled and said, "It would be good to film in Yanjing."

"That's right. I'm familiar with Yanjing after all, but the storyboards I made before have to be changed now." At this point, Wang Junzheng raised his hand and motioned Zhou Yan to go out, "I'm here to tell you about this. , when my storyboarding is finished, I will let you see if there is anything that needs to be modified in terms of the soundtrack."

"Sister Wang, you are very thoughtful." Zhou Yan smiled and said proactively, "Since you have changed the shooting location to Yanjing, I can go to the scene when I have nothing to do. I must observe your shooting on the spot. It’s more conducive to score writing than just looking at storyboards.”

Wang Junzheng didn't know that Zhou Yan wanted to steal his apprenticeship. He just thought that he was only thinking about the soundtrack of the movie. He was very moved and said, "Of course you are willing to go, but I'm just afraid it will be too much trouble for you."

Zhou Yan smiled and waved his hand, "It's no trouble, I just need to go and check it out occasionally. If I'm really busy, I won't be able to go."

Wang Junzheng nodded and said, "Well, when we confirm the shooting later, I will give you a shooting schedule, and you can make it according to your own time."

The two of them were talking and walked to a bicycle. Wang Jun was riding the bicycle and said to Zhou Yan, "There is nothing else to do. If you have nothing else to do, you can go to the factory to play."

"Ok."

……

Only six days later, Wang Junzheng came to Zhou Yan again and handed him a shooting schedule.

The first scene started two days later, exactly the scene at the beginning of the movie when the grandfather and grandson were flying kites in the square.

This scene was filmed in Tiananmen Square, only three kilometers away from Zhou Yan’s school.

On the morning of the shooting day, Zhou Yan rushed to Tiananmen Square on his newly purchased Phoenix bicycle. There were not many people in the square at this time, and the film crew had already arrived.

Wang Jun is holding a storyboard and telling the story to the old man and the young man. Needless to say, the old man and the young man should be the actors playing the roles of the grandfather and grandson.

Zhou Yan, the veteran actor who plays the grandfather, knows Comrade Li Shouhai, a veteran artist.

Seeing that Wang Jun was lecturing, Zhou Yan did not interrupt and stood not far away waiting for her to finish.

After a while, Wang Junzheng saw Zhou Yan and immediately smiled, "Zhou Yan, you are here."

Zhou Yan took a few steps closer with a smile, "Well, Sister Wang, let me take a look."

Wang Junzheng was very happy to introduce to Li Shouhai next to him, "Old man, he is Zhou Yan, the soundtrack director of our film. Zhou Yan, this is teacher Li Shouhai, who plays the role of grandpa."

Zhou Yan walked over and took the initiative to hold the old man's hand, "Hello, Mr. Li."

He originally wanted to say that he had watched Li Shouhai's movies and TV series to get closer to him, but after thinking about it, he didn't expect that Li Shouhai had already filmed anything at this time. He couldn't talk about what he had not yet filmed.

Li Shouhai was a little surprised when he heard that Zhou Yan was the soundtrack director of the film. The position of soundtrack director is very important in the crew and is usually filled by very qualified people.

And usually, the soundtrack director will not show up during filming.

However, Li Shouhai was over 60 years old after all, and he had seen many young geniuses, so he was just slightly surprised, then smiled and shook Zhou Yan's hand, "Good guidance, Xiao Zhou. Please give me your advice."

"Mr. Li, you are joking. Apart from music, I don't know much about other aspects. I came to the scene to learn from Director Wang." Then he looked at the "dwarf" next to him and said, "This kid is an actor. Is it from Chenchen?”

"Yes, brother, my name is Shi Chen." Shi Chen introduced himself very politely, looking like a young adult.

In fact, in the original script, the grandson was not called Chenchen, but in order to make the young actor's reaction during the acting process more realistic, the character's name was changed to Chenchen, which is the same as the actor's name.

Shi Chen's performance surprised Zhou Yan. Compared with other children, he was unusually sophisticated. It seems that Wang Junzheng also put a lot of effort into his casting.

In fact, what Zhou Yan didn't know was that Shi Chen came from a performing family. His grandfather was the famous performing artist Shi Yu, and his father was Shi Xiaoman, known as China's number one child star.

It can be said that Shi Chen has learned from his family.

Zhou Yan exchanged a few words with them, and the filming of the scene was about to begin.

The content of the first scene was relatively simple, but we still encountered many difficulties during the filming process. Just a close-up of a kite flying in the sky took many shots.

There was no other way. The director could only stand behind the camera and roughly feel the position of the kite. He couldn't really see what the picture looked like, so he could only take a few more shots for later selection.

In the film era, it was quite troublesome to shoot such long-distance close-ups. If you were not willing to spend more money to shoot more, it would be difficult to achieve good results in subsequent movies.

Some people have been shooting for a long time, but in the end they find that there is nothing in the shot that they want to capture. This situation often happens.

However, they were filming in Yanjing. They can have the film developed by the lab today when they return home. They will review it tomorrow morning and reshoot if there is a problem.

Zhou Yan has been observing carefully from the side, and occasionally goes to ask her for advice when Wang Junzheng is not so busy.

At first, Wang Junzheng thought Zhou Yan was doing it for the soundtrack, but then he gradually realized something was wrong. All the kid asked were questions related to the filming.

Just now, Zhou Yan said that he wanted to learn from her at the scene. She thought that Zhou Yan was just saying polite words, but she didn't expect that Zhou Yan meant it.
