Although Zhou Yan couldn't quite understand He Wuming's thoughts, this condition was not difficult, so he nodded directly and agreed, "No problem, I'll buy a better one when I go back." ”

"When to buy?"

"When you have time, a better flute can be bought at least in the county."

In fact, the possibility of buying a good flute in the county is relatively small, the flute is not rare, you can make a bamboo or even wood at will, but it is difficult to find a good quality flute.

In this place in Qi County, if you say that you want to look for people who play suona, they are all over the street, and you can grab a lot of them, but if you want to talk about playing bamboo flute, it is not easy to find. If no one plays, there will naturally be few sales.

Different places and different art forms.

He Wuming naturally knew about this situation, so he said: "I'll ask someone to buy it for you, buy a bangdi, and ask someone to send it back." ”

Zhou Yan nodded, "That's okay, how much is the flute, I'll give it to you when I turn around." ”

"Okay, I'll tell you the price."

"That's how the show is decided, you can't go back."

"A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase."

Zhou Yan smiled and gave a thumbs up, the gentleman is so wow! Although he is not a gentleman himself, he likes to deal with gentlemen.

……

The next morning, Zhou Yan and He Wuming went to rehearse in the Fourth Courtyard while the crew was not filming.

Zhou Yan first talked to He Wuming about the play, and after speaking, he said with a smile, "Teacher He, you haven't acted in a movie, and you may not know much about acting in movies, but it doesn't matter, you can follow my rhythm in a while, and you are only responsible for saying the lines." ”

According to Zhou Yan's thoughts, He Wuming is a Peking Opera actor, which is very different from a movie actor, and he is definitely not familiar with the performance of movies.

But Zhou Yan was wrong, and it was ridiculously wrong.

When Zhou Yan walked into the room from outside the door, he saw He Wuming's drunken eyes, his eyes were straight, this ...... He Wuming actually performed a feeling of a drunken beauty, even weaker and more pitiful than Gong Li.

Of course, it doesn't mean that He Wuming is better than Gong Li, and the role of Song Lian shouldn't be so weak, obviously Gong Li understands the role more thoroughly.

But even if He Wuming didn't perform Song Lian, he also played at least a drunk and hazy woman, his smile, every look proved one thing - he is a professional actor, and he is a professional actor.

At least more professional than Zhou Yan...... A lot.

Seeing He Wuming's performance, Zhou Yan was a little ashamed, just now he questioned He Wuming, but now it seems that he is a pure clown.

But at the same time, Zhou Yan was also very happy, because he had found the right person, even if He Wuming was not as good as Gong Li, it was better than pulling someone randomly, and the role of the partner in rehearsing this matter was still very crucial.

After a short period of consternation, Zhou Yan quickly adjusted his state and began to enter the play.

Although there were many problems in the first rehearsal of the two, He Wuming's lines were not familiar with him, but overall it was relatively ideal.

The latter two rehearsed a few more times, and each time they got better and better, which also made Zhou Yan more and more motivated.

……

In the next half a month, if the crew had filming, Zhou Yan would come to observe and record, and if he didn't shoot, he dragged He Wuming to the Fourth Courtyard to rehearse, and every day was very sufficient.

When Zhou Yan went to observe the shooting, he didn't just watch, most of the time he would help the staff on the scene, after all, he was a young laborer, and he had to reduce a lot of burden on others for many things on the set.

As he helped more, many people on the set joked that it was too much to give Zhou Yan a salary, and he should be given another salary.

Of course, it is impossible to increase the salary, but Zhou Yan enjoys it, and the process of helping people is also the process of learning and understanding movies, and sometimes with good luck, he can also work as a scene reporter, so he understands what information is written on the slate board, and also knows why there is a slate board.

Zhou Yan wants to learn more about movies, not that he is determined to film or act in the future, but he has the most fundamental interest in making movies, and he thinks that acting or filming is quite fun.

Others didn't think that Zhou Yan wanted to learn this, they just thought that he might not have seen these things before, so he was just curious, and after a while, the freshness would not be so positive and enthusiastic.

The flute that He Wuming ordered for Zhou Yan had been bought by someone a few days ago, and it was being sent here.

Speaking of the flute, Zhou Yan felt a pain in his flesh, and after He Wuming ordered the flute, Zhou Yan knew that a flute cost more than 360 yuan.

This is the 90s, when most people's monthly wages are less than 100 yuan, and a flute costs 360 yuan.

Zhou Yan used to feel that he made a lot of thousands of yuan in a play, and he couldn't spend it all, but now it seems that he can just buy a few bamboo flutes.

According to He Wuming, he was still very considerate and didn't choose too expensive for Zhou Yan, otherwise his friends would have a lot of four-figure flutes at a four-figure price.

Zhou Yan has been waiting for the flute to come these days, although it hurts, but after the money is spent, Zhou Yan also has expectations for the flute, he is actually fed up with the flute given to him by the crew, it is really not good.

……

Before the flute came, Zhou Yan waited for a letter from the publishing house.

It was Liu Qing who brought him from the town.

This time the letter was very thin, and before it was opened, Zhou Yan was overjoyed, and sure enough, this was a written letter.

The letter was sent from Yangcheng, Guangdong Province, and when he saw the word Yangcheng, Zhou Yan already knew that it should have been sent to him by the "Huacheng" magazine.

The sender of the letter was Lu Mengping, the literary editor of the novel group of "Flower City", who said in the letter that she liked the article "Wet River in the Rain" very much, and that the magazine had decided to publish the novel in the November 5th issue.

The payment was made on July 15, more than a month after now.

The "River Wet by the Rain" copied by Zhou Yan to "Flower City" is the same as "The Death of the Town Mayor" previously given to "Yanjing Literature", which is the same as the Lu Xun Literature Award winning work.

The reason why Zhou Yan voted "The River Wet in the Rain" to "Huacheng" is because the story of this novel revolves around the situation of farmers going south to work after the reform, and Yangcheng, where "Huacheng" magazine is located, is a popular city for migrant workers to go south.

Moreover, "Flower City" is now more promoted to newcomers, and it does not pay special attention to the author's past resume, which is more suitable for Zhou Yan.

Facts have proved that Zhou Yan's choice was right, and "Flower City" accepted the manuscript very decisively.

Lu Mengping told Zhou Yan in the letter that the manuscript fee totaled 66 yuan, and that she needed to wait until the manuscript was published before remitting it to Zhou Yan.

"The River Wet in the Rain" has a total of more than 3,000 words, and after calculation, the standard for their manuscript fee for Zhou Yan is 22 yuan per 1,000 words, which is actually a good price, and now most magazines have a manuscript fee of between 10 yuan and 20 yuan per 1,000 words.

At this time, the state has regulations on the standard of manuscript fees, and the standard of remuneration for manuscripts is 10 to 30 yuan per 1,000 words, except for some manuscripts that do have academic value, which can be raised to 40 yuan per 1,000 words, and the others cannot exceed 30 yuan.

According to the wage standard of ordinary people, sixty-six yuan is naturally not less, and as long as two articles are issued every month, it can be higher than the salary of ordinary workers.

But Zhou Yan, as a high-paid person who earns hundreds of oceans a month, naturally doesn't think much of the 66 yuan manuscript fee, but he knows that the good days are ahead, and there is no need to worry about this manuscript fee now.
