Hearing that someone wanted to use "Always Be Together", Zhou Yan was also quite surprised, "Mr. Zhao, who wants to use it?" ”

"Have you heard of Wang Junzheng?" Zhao Jiping asked.

Zhou Yan thought for a while and said, "No." ”

"Have you seen the movie "The First Woman in the Mountains"?"

Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows, he had watched "The First Woman in the Mountains and Forests", and remembered that this movie was directed by "Heaven's Reply", the latter was a domestic movie that Zhou Yan liked very much, and he had watched it several times.

Although "Heaven's Reply" is not as famous as "Hang the Red Lantern", which has won international awards like "The Red Lantern Hangs High", in Zhou Yan's heart, this movie can definitely be ranked in the first echelon of Chinese film history.

Zhao Jiping said with a smile, "The director of this movie is Wang Junzheng, she is also from Shaanxi Province, and we usually have contacts." The day before yesterday afternoon, she came to my house and heard Zhao Liang play your song "Forever Together"...... You also know that Zhao Ling's kid likes this song very much, and after Wang Junzheng heard it, he thought it was very good, and he hadn't heard it before, so he asked about the origin of this song. ”

"Then it seems that I have to thank Zhao Ling." Zhou Yan said with a smile.

"Listen to me first, I didn't agree to this matter for you, nor did I tell Wang Junzheng about your specific situation, I wanted to ask you what you mean first. One thing I want to make clear to you is that Wang Junzheng's film is produced by Yanjing Studios, and the funding cannot be compared with "The Red Lantern Hangs High" at all......"

"I know, there's not much to license the song, is it?"

"Yes, it's certainly not comparable to the amount you got in "Hang the Red Lantern."

In fact, Zhou Yan's licensing fee in "The Red Lantern Hangs High" is not very high, but the domestic market is like this in recent years, and it would be good to give a few hundred yuan for a song of yours.

There are also some disgusting production teams who use other people's tunes, not only don't want to give money, but instead make a gesture of "it's your honor to use your tunes".

I didn't ask you for publicity money, but asked us for money?

Zhou Yan actually doesn't care much about licensing fees, it's not that he doesn't value money, it's just that a few hundred yuan is not much different from thousands of yuan for him, less starvation and no death, more can't make a fortune.

He paid more attention to the movie that Wang Jun was making, "Mr. Zhao, can I ask Director Wang what is the theme of the movie he made this time?" ”

"I didn't read the script, but I had a brief chat with her, and the film mainly revolves around the family relationship between a pair of grandchildren."

Hearing this, Zhou Yan smiled, this must be "Heaven's Reply", there is no doubt that if he can score this movie, Zhou Yan is willing to have less money.

"What does Director Wang want to say, do you want to talk face-to-face?"

"Yes, she wanted to talk in person. She's back to Yenching now, I mean, when you get to Yenching, go directly to the Yenching studio to find her, or let her go to you. ”

"I'll go find her." Zhou Yan said with a smile, there is no need to hold the composer's stand at this time.

"Okay, I'll give you the phone number of her unit first, and you can call her."

"Okay."

"Then you remember."

……

Zhou Yan dialed the phone number given by Zhao Jiping, and it took a while for the phone to be picked up.

"Hello."

"Is this the office of the director department of Yanjing Studio?"

"Yes, who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for Mr. Wang Junzheng."

"Wait a minute...... Sister Wang, looking for you. ”

The phone was put down, and after a while it was picked up again, a cheerful female voice with a northwest accent came from the other end of the phone, "Hello, who?" ”

"Hello Mr. Wang, I'm Zhou Yan, Mr. Zhao said that you are interested in the song "Always Together", let me contact you."

"It's you." Wang Junzheng's tone was full of surprise, "I didn't expect you to call me so soon, Teacher Zhao told you everything, right?" ”

"Mr. Zhao said that you are making a movie about family affection, and you want to match "Always Together" into it."

"That's right, the script of our film has just been finalized, and we will go to Zhushi to shoot next month."

"Pearl City?" Zhou Yan was a little surprised, the movie is obviously full of Yanjing's scenes, why did he go to Zhushi to shoot?

"What's wrong?" Wang Junzheng also wondered, is there a problem with Zhushi?

"Oh no, I didn't expect the shoot to go so far."

"Hey, the factory suggested." Wang Junzheng smiled, did not continue the topic of chatting, and turned to the tune, "When I heard Zhao Liang play this tune the afternoon before yesterday, I felt it very much. There is a little sadness in the warmth, and there is also a little dreamy feeling, which fits the theme of my film very well. I asked Mr. Zhao, and he only said that it was written by an alumnus of Yangyin, so I asked you to contact him. ”

It seems that Zhao Jiping did not disclose his specific information, only said that he was an alumnus.

"Teacher Wang, Teacher Zhao may not have told you about my specific situation, I haven't graduated yet."

Wang Junzheng was surprised, "Are you still in school?" ”

Although listening to the voice on the phone, he felt that Zhou Yan was very young, but Wang Junzheng didn't expect that he was still in school. The key is that Zhao Jiping only introduced that he was an alumnus, so Wang Junzheng thought that he was at least thirty or forty years old.

"Well, it's going to be two or three years before I graduate." The composition department has a five-year academic system, and Zhou Yan takes a year off in the middle, for a total of six years.

Wang Junzheng said with emotion, "Sure enough, it is the back waves of the Yangtze River that push the front waves, but you are from the central sound, there is nothing strange about it, you central sound is really a talent everywhere." ”

"Director Wang has a good reputation."

"You're too modest." Wang Junzheng smiled, and then got straight to the point, "Zhou Yan, let's be direct, whether you are studying or graduating will not affect my appreciation of this song." I want the license for this piece, do you have any idea about the licensing fee? ”

Zhou Yan didn't answer this question, but asked, "Director Wang, have you decided to be the soundtrack director of this movie?" ”

Wang Junzheng was stunned for a moment, Zhou Yan asked what he meant, did he want Mao Sui to recommend himself?

Before Wang Junzheng could reply, Zhou Yan said again, "If it doesn't work, I don't know if I can give it a try." ”

Wang Junzheng on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time, and finally held back a sentence, "Zhou Yan, in fact, our soundtrack director of this movie can't get much money." ”

Zhou Yan smiled, "Director Wang, there is more money and less money, I don't particularly care." I've just participated in the soundtrack of "The Red Lantern Hangs High" and am very interested in the work, and I also love your film "The First Woman in the Mountains", so I proposed myself to be the new film score director. ”

The reason why he mentioned "The Red Lantern Hangs High" is to beautify his resume and increase the likelihood that he will successfully bid for the soundtrack director of "Heaven's Reply".

This trick worked, and when he heard that Zhou Yan also participated in the soundtrack of "The Red Lantern Hangs High", Wang Junzheng raised his eyebrows, and he didn't deny it as firmly in his heart as he did just now.

She likes the song "Always Together" very much, and she also believes in Zhou Yan's talent, but the film score is still a little different from ordinary composition, and she doesn't dare to take this risk by letting an inexperienced student serve as the soundtrack director.

Even if she dares to take risks, will the leaders in the factory be able to pass? The soundtrack direction is not something she can decide.

After thinking for a while, Wang Junzheng said, "Zhou Yan, I can't settle down on the matter of music guidance, and I can't reply to you." In this way, you wait for me to ask the leader for instructions, see what the leader's opinion is, and then tell you, how about it? ”

Zhou Yan knew that if he went to ask the leader, then this matter would definitely be cold, so he hurriedly fought for himself, "Director Wang, if you let me be the soundtrack director, I only need a soundtrack director's salary, and the music I made will be used for you for this new movie for free." Actually, the soundtrack work is relatively low, and I think you can be bold enough to try something, and if it really doesn't work, you can change people at any time before the end of the shooting. One more attempt, one more possibility. ”

Wang Junzheng didn't expect Zhou Yan to be so tenacious, and at the same time, she also felt that what Zhou Yan said was quite reasonable, maybe Zhou Yan could give her a surprise in addition to "Always Together".

"When are you going back to school?" Wang Junzheng asked.

Hearing Wang Junzheng ask, Zhou Yan smiled, he knew that there was some hope for this matter, "Ten days later." ”

"Okay, then how about we meet in ten days?"

"No problem, after ten days, we will see you or leave."

……

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yan was in a good mood, he was very familiar with the movie "Heaven's Reply", and he also had a lot of ideas, he was confident that if Wang Junzheng and they were willing to let him be the soundtrack director, he would definitely be able to do a good job.

In this matter, Zhou Yan's disadvantage is that he has not yet graduated, and Yanjing Studios may not be willing to let a student serve as the soundtrack director of the film, not only because he does not believe in the student's experience, but also because of the operation mode within the system.

If it was Chang'an Studio, the situation might be better, and Wu Tianming's courage was still very admirable.

However, Zhou Yan also has some advantages, he has just participated in the soundtrack work of "The Red Lantern Hangs High", and his name will also appear in the movie later, which is a gimmick.

Another advantage is the song "Always Together", which can add a lot of points to Zhou Yan.

In fact, there is another thing, "Farewell My Concubine", which is about to be produced by Yanjing Studio, Zhou Yan will also participate in it, but this matter has not been completely decided yet, Zhou Yan didn't say it just now, don't go wrong later, it will be a shame.

The reason why Zhou Yan is so positive is that on the one hand, he really likes "Heaven's Reply", and he feels honored to score this movie, and on the other hand, he also wants to make a jump in the film scoring industry through this time.

From the soundtrack assistant to the soundtrack director, there is a hurdle in the middle, which is very deep, and many people can't cross it for a lifetime, so they can only work behind the soundtrack director.

But skip over, it's different.

Zhou Yan wants to be the soundtrack director of a crew like "Farewell My Concubine", which is simply impossible, and only movies with less attention like "Heaven's Reply" can have this kind of opportunity.

As long as Zhou Yan can successfully complete the soundtrack guidance of "Heaven's Reply", others will not care whether he has graduated or not.
