went up to the second floor, walked through the corridor, and walked to the entrance to the door, Hou Xiaoxian did not rush to open his mouth to disturb Zhou Yan, but quietly watched Zhou Yan play.

waited until the end of this song, when Zhou Yan adjusted his posture and was about to blow the next song, Hou Xiaoxian spoke, "Hello." ”

Zhou Yan stopped his movements and turned his head.

The man who shouted him was a middle-aged man who was not tall, jeans, polo shirt, the man's appearance was very special, his eyebrows were very thick, his eyes were very short, and he had a standard garlic nose, and his accent was from the south, either Hu Jian or Taidao.

"You are?" Zhou Yan asked.

"I'm Hou Xiaoxian."

It turned out to be Hou Xiaoxian, Zhou Yan has watched Hou Xiaoxian several movies, but he doesn't know Hou Xiaoxian's face, in fact, when he heard the accent just now, he guessed that the other party was either producer Hou Xiaoxian or investor Qiu Fusheng.

The capital behind "The Red Lantern Hangs High" is Xiangjiang's Era Film Company, which was established by Qiu Fusheng in order to circumvent the Taiwan authorities' policy of prohibiting cross-strait cooperation in filmmaking.

After the establishment of the company, it signed two film contracts with Zhang Yimou, and it can be said that the era film company was established for Zhang Yimou.

Zhou Yan didn't expect Hou Xiaoxian to come so early, although Hou Xiaoxian is the producer of "The Red Lantern Hangs High", but in fact, it is more like a name, and everything on the scene is up to Zhang Yimou.

"Director Hou, hello, hello." Zhou Yan walked over and shook Hou Xiaoxian's hand very enthusiastically, "You just arrived?" ”

Hou Xiaoxian nodded, "Yes, when I first arrived here, I heard you playing the flute, and I felt that this song was quite interesting, so I came up and asked, what is the name of the song?" ”

"I'm afraid I can't tell you that."

"Why is that?" Hou Xiaoxian was surprised, "Could it be that the name of the song can be something that needs to be kept secret?" ”

Zhou Yan smiled, "Director Hou, you misunderstood, not to keep it secret from you, but because this piece is not yet famous, it is made by me today." ”

Hou Xiaoxian's expression froze, he didn't expect to get such an answer, this flute music was actually composed by the young man in front of him.

The reason why he was so eager to know what this piece was called was because he felt that this piece was especially suitable for Chen Feipu to play when he first met Song Lian, and that feeling was particularly right.

Therefore, it is necessary to inquire clearly in advance, and if you really want to use this song later, it will be more convenient.

Seeing Hou Xiaoxian's shocked appearance, Zhou Yan was a little embarrassed, because this song was not entirely original to him, but was adapted from the song he had watched Chen Feipu play in "The Red Lantern Hangs High", and the main credit was Zhao Jiping.

However, this embarrassment quickly dissipated, Zhou Yan looked at Hou Xiaoxian and started to think, "Director Hou, this piece is the first time I played it today, and you are also the first person to ask about this tune, since you are so fated with this tune, why don't you help come up with a name." ”

Although Hou Xiaoxian is also a person who has seen the world, he was still a little moved by Zhou Yan's words, and he really believed that he had a fate with this song.

But he still shirked first, "This is your song, how can I name it." ”

Zhou Yan waved his hand and said, "Hey, even if it's a child born by yourself, don't you have to ask someone of high moral standing to help choose a name." And I also want to hear the impressions of the listeners about this piece, and I think the name you gave will definitely represent your feelings. ”

Hou Xiaoxian was a little confused by Zhou Yan's ecstasy soup, and couldn't help nodding and said, "It does make sense." ”

Zhou Yan struck while the iron was hot, and said with a smile, "Then you're welcome, give it a name." ”

Hou Xiaoxian pondered for a while, and then said, "What do you think of the name Song Lian?" ”

"Song Lian ......" Zhou Yan lowered his head and thought for a while, and then stroked his palm and said, "This name is good, I won't tell you, I have been thinking about this scene every day for the past few days, and my mind is full of Song Lian, so I composed this song, Director Hou, you have a unique vision." In the future, this piece will be called "Song Lotus". ”

Hearing Zhou Yan say that he pondered this scene every day, Hou Xiaoxian didn't think much about it, and thought that Zhou Yan was thinking about this scene as a soundtrack.

Hou Xiaoxian wanted to say anything more, and suddenly Jiang Mengfei called him downstairs, "Director Hou, Director Hou, Director Zhang is back, I have something to do with you." ”

"Okay, got it." Hou Xiaoxian responded, and then said to Zhou Yan, "There are still a lot of things to do when I just came today, I'll go to Director Zhang Yimou first, and I'll look for you when I'm done." ”

"Hey, okay, you're busy."

After Hou Xiaoxian left, Zhou Yan began to play the flute again, but this time it was not "Song Lotus", but a famous song "Happy Meeting".

……

Here, Hou Xiaoxian went downstairs and followed Jiang Mengfei to Zhang Yimou's room.

After meeting, the two exchanged a few words, and then Zhang Yimou said with a straight look, "Director Hou came over this time, I still want to ask you to give us more guidance on the work, your rich experience is especially worth learning from." ”

This meeting is quite blunt, and Hou Xiaoxian also knows that it is not Zhang Yimou who is sincere, Zhang Yimou is the same kind of person as him, and his movie will not want others to interfere.

In fact, most directors are like this, and no one wants others to interfere with their works.

He came to serve as the producer this time, and he didn't interfere too much in the shooting, but more to help coordinate the scene and control the cost.

"Director Zhang said with a smile, this time we have a clear division of labor, you will take care of the filming of the movie, and I will assist in matters other than shooting."

Zhang Yimou didn't pretend to be polite anymore, and said with a smile, "Then it's hard for you." ”

"It's all as it should be."

"I heard Jiang Mengfei say, you went to find Zhou Yan just now?"

Zhang Yimou heard Jiang Mengfei say that as soon as Hou Xiaoxian came, he went upstairs to find Zhou Yan, and he didn't even enter his room, so he was very curious.

Hou Xiaoxian smiled and nodded, "Yes, I was about to tell you about this, Zhou Yan wrote a flute song, I think it is very suitable for Chen Feipu to play, we can spend some money to get the authorization of the song." ”

Zhang Yimou subconsciously looked in the direction of the second floor, Zhou Yan wrote a flute song? How did he not know about this?

Hou Xiaoxian saw Zhang Yimou's puzzled face, so he explained with a smile, "It's also a coincidence that he just wrote this piece today, and the first time he played it, it happened that I heard it when I first came." ”

These words solved Zhang Yimou's doubts, but instead he was surprised, he didn't expect Zhou Yan to not only be able to play, but also to write tunes...... By the way, I almost forgot that Zhou Yan was originally from the composition department.

This Zhou Yan can always surprise people.

Zhang Yimou had just come back from outside, and he hadn't heard the tune Hou Xiaoxian said, so he couldn't judge whether the tune was suitable for Chen Feipu, he muttered, "Let's talk about the tune later, I'll tell you about the role of Chen Feipu first." ”

Hou Xiaoxian nodded, "The last time you said that the actor troupe that played Chen Feipu would not let people go, what is the situation now, has the matter been resolved?" ”

"Now I've changed people."

"For whom?"

Zhang Yimou smiled, "It's Zhou Yan you saw just now." ”
