"Zhou Yan?" Hou Xiaoxian looked surprised: "Didn't that little brother just now say that he is a soundtrack?" ”

"Well, he is the assistant to our soundtrack director Zhao Jiping, who is responsible for following the group. The reason why I chose him is because the feeling when he plays the flute is very much in line with my imagination of Chen Feipu. Let him act, and then you can give some shots of the hands. ”

The original actor Chu Xiao didn't know how to play the flute, so he definitely wouldn't give too careful hand shots during filming, but now if he finds Zhou Yan to play, he doesn't need to have this concern, just let Zhou Yan play it truthfully when the time comes.

Hou Xiaoxian also realized it at this time, no wonder Zhou Yan said just now that he was thinking about the scene where Chen Feipu played the flute all this time, it turned out that he was going to act.

Hou Xiaoxian who said Zhang Yimou also agreed, Zhou Yan is quite tall and handsome, which is indeed in line with the setting of Chen Feipu's role, not to mention playing the flute, which is completely professional.

"Have you auditioned for him?" Hou Xiaoxian was still a little worried.

"No, but I asked Deputy Director Gao to give him acting guidance, Chen Feipu didn't have a few scenes, so there must be no problem."

Since Zhang Yimou said so, Hou Xiaoxian naturally won't say anything anymore, and if he talks too much, it will be annoying.

"In this case, the problem of actors should be solved, so when are you going to officially start filming?"

Zhang Yimou said with a smile, "I was about to tell you about this, and now I have set to officially start filming in ten days, all the preparations on the scene have been prepared, calculate the time, and when it ends, it should also snow here, and then make up for the snowy scene." ”

Hou Xiaoxian nodded, "Okay, we'll officially start filming in ten days." ”

……

After dinner, Zhou Yan tinkered with the quilt that Liu Qing bought for him from the county in the room, and when he came before, he only brought a mat and a quilt.

Now it's starting to get a little cold at night, and the mat is a little unbearable.

was tinkering, He Wuming, who was originally in regular script, suddenly spoke, "You played a tune this afternoon, and I haven't heard it before." ”

Zhou Yan looked up at He Wuming, they have been roommates for so long, and they have not said as much as Zhou Yan and the crew chef He Fatzi, and it is even rarer for He Wuming to take the initiative to speak like now.

"Which one are you talking about?"

"The one in front of "Happy Meeting"."

Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows, He Wuming not only had sharp ears, but also remembered it clearly.

"You're talking about 'Song of Lotus'."

"Song Lian?" He Wuming frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly raised his head, "You wrote it yourself?" ”

"Aang."

Zhou Yan nodded, and then continued to lower his head and tinker with the quilt, but after waiting for a long time, He Wuming didn't speak, he looked up at He Wuming again, and saw He Wuming looking at him blankly.

"What's wrong?"

He Wuming came back to his senses and shook his head, "It's nothing, the song is very good." ”

Zhou Yan smiled, "It's too famous." ”

Then the two of them didn't speak, and the room fell silent again, but Zhou Yan was used to it, He Wuming was a cold king, and he wondered if the feeling of cold in the past two nights was because He Wuming was in their room.

A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door outside.

Zhou Yan raised his head and asked, "Who?" ”

"Me." Zhang Yimou's voice sounded.

Zhou Yan threw the quilt and trotted to open the door, and Zhang Yimou stood at the door wearing a single coat.

Zhang Yimou didn't mean to enter the house, he first said hello to He Wuming and raised his hand, and then said to Zhou Yan, "Zhou Yan, you come out, I have something to tell you, by the way, bring the flute." ”

"Okay."

Zhou Yan ran to get a flute, and he directly took the flute that he played in the afternoon, because he had already guessed what Zhang Yimou was about to say.

With a slipper, Zhou Yan followed Zhang Yimou out of the door.

The two went up to the corridor on the second floor, Zhang Yimou stood still and asked, "Did you make a song today?" ”

Zhou Yan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and he knew that Zhang Yimou was really here for "Song Lian".

"Yes, a piece of music composed casually, the title of the song is Song Lian, the name given by Director Hou."

Zhang Yimou was a little surprised, he hadn't heard Hou Xiaoxian say this.

At this time, the night is falling, the corridor is very poorly lit, Zhang Yimou didn't see the corners of Zhou Yan's mouth raised slightly, and Zhou Yan didn't see the surprise on Zhang Yimou's face.

"Song Lian's name is very good." Zhang Yimou nodded, "Can you blow it for me?" ”

"Absolutely."

Zhou Yan prepared a little, and then blew "Song Lotus" again.

The song "Ode to Lotus", although it is played on the bangflute, is a bit rough and bold, but it also has a hint of softness of the southern flute, like the falling leaves in autumn, sad but light.

When the song was blown, Zhang Yimou had already decided to use this tune, but he was still very patient and waited until Zhou Yan finished blowing before speaking: "We want you to authorize us to use this tune in "The Red Lantern Hangs High", are you willing?" ”

"Absolutely." Zhou Yan said briskly, "This song was originally composed for the first encounter between Song Lian and Chen Feipu, if it can be used in the movie, it will be a happy song for this song." ”

"Okay, I'll discuss it with Director Hou again, you wait for my news."

Then Zhang Yimou didn't say anything more, and the two went downstairs and went back to their respective houses.

……

The next morning, Zhang Yimou and Hou Xiaoxian met again.

"I listened to "Song Lian", and it is indeed very suitable, but how to calculate the license price, it is up to you, the producer, to make up your mind."

Hou Xiaoxian thought for a while and said, "I don't know much about the market in the mainland. ”

"It's hard to say that this kind of authorization, if you count it in all the soundtracks, it really doesn't cost much. However, Zhou Yan can be regarded as having a tune, and we want to authorize it, and there is no fixed price. ”

Zhang Yimou said this because he wanted to give Zhou Yan more money, if he said it truthfully, then it would be good for Zhou Yan to get three or five hundred, after all, the time used for the song in the movie is short, and Zhou Yan is a newcomer, and the licensing fee is not high.

Hou Xiaoxian nodded, "How about giving five or six thousand yuan?" ”

This price was lowered by Hou Xiaoxian according to the situation on Taiwan Island, and the authorization of five or six thousand to get a song is definitely not high in Taiwan, and it is lower in the normal range.

Zhang Yimou's brows twitched, "You said that the yuan is still the Taiwan dollar." ”

"Renminbi, of course."

Zhang Yimou shook his head, although he wanted to give Zhou Yan more money, but five or six thousand yuan was not enough, they adapted this movie to give the original author Su Tong 4,000 license fees, Zhou Yan took 5,000 for a song, didn't it offend people?

Besides, this song is given for five or six thousand, and how much does Zhao Jiping give for the soundtrack later?

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Yimou proposed, "In this way, the licensing fee will be eight hundred, and then Zhou Yan will be given a salary of three hundred per month, starting from the day he joins the group, and then give him an additional four hundred yuan in musical instrument subsidies." ”

In this way, Zhou Yan can probably get two or three thousand yuan, which is actually quite high, but Zhang Yimou thought that since "Song Lian" was the name given by Hou Xiaoxian, it would be okay to give it a high point.

Hou Xiaoxian said that he had no opinion, "Yes, just do as you say." ”
