Zhou Yan is used to going to appointments in advance, Chen Kaige told him to arrive before nine o'clock, and he will arrive at Yanjing Studio at eight twenty.

Of course, he was not the only one who came early, there were already five or six people in the director's office at the moment, and they were chatting around at the moment.

As soon as Zhou Yan entered, these people looked over.

"Zhou Yan, here." Chen Kaige said hello to Zhou Yan with a smile, and then introduced to a few people next to him, "This is Zhou Yan, the on-site soundtrack director of our crew." ”

Several people looked at Zhou Yan's eyes, most of them were a little curious.

Live soundtrack director, this position itself is quite strange, and Zhou Yan's age is too young, and the word guidance is not too good.

Chen Kaige introduced a few people next to Zhou Yan again.

"This is our screenwriter, Mr. Reed."

Zhou Yan walked up with a smile and shook hands with Reed, "Hello Mr. Reed, long time no see." ”

Lu Wei also smiled and nodded, "Well, it's been a long time, Zhou Yan." ”

Chen Kaige patted his forehead and said suddenly, "By the way, Zhou Yan has been in Chang'an Studio for a while before, you should have seen it." ”

He was right, Zhou Yan and Lu Wei had indeed met in Chang'an Studio, although they were not particularly familiar, but they had spoken a few times.

Chen Kaige introduced Zhou Yan to the woman next to the reed, "This is the original author of "Farewell My Concubine", teacher Li Bihua. ”

Li Bihua is in her early thirties, wearing a pair of big black-framed glasses, her appearance is not good, and her smile is a little restrained.

"Hello, Mr. Li."

Zhou Yan greeted her, and she just smiled in response.

The other two people were assistant directors Bai Yu and Jin Ping, and Zhou Yan also greeted them one by one.

After getting to know each other, Chen Kaige said with a smile: "The office is too messy, let's go to the conference room and wait, the others estimate that it will take a while to arrive." ”

When they arrived at the conference room, the assistant director Jin Ping was busy pouring water for everyone, and the other assistant director Bai Yu was responsible for picking topics and bringing the atmosphere.

After chatting for a while, Zhou Yan also found out that it was basically Chen Kaige talking to the two assistant directors, plus he occasionally said a word, but Lu Wei and Li Bihua didn't speak much.

It can be seen that the relationship between the two screenwriters and the director is average.

Although Zhou Yan usually likes to take the initiative to provoke topics, he doesn't want to talk too much in today's atmosphere, sometimes it's not good to talk too much.

This slightly awkward atmosphere lasted until 8:50, until investor Xu Feng arrived.

"I've kept you waiting."

Before Xu Fengren entered the conference room, her capable voice came in.

After entering the office, she greeted everyone very warmly, and no one was left behind.

Although she only has a one-sided relationship with Zhou Yan, she can remember Zhou Yan and accurately call out Zhou Yan's name, "Zhou Yan, it has been more than half a year since I said goodbye to Teacher Zhao's house last time, right?" ”

Zhou Yan smiled and nodded, "Well, it's still last year." ”

"It's okay, you can see each other more often during this time."

Xu Feng maintains the right amount of enthusiasm for everyone, and it is easy for people to have a good impression of her, especially when she is still a film investor, and this enthusiasm makes it easier for her to gain the favor of others from the top down.

It is naturally more useful for those in higher positions to show favor than ordinary people.

After she came, the atmosphere of the scene became much better, and Lu Wei and Li Bihua, who had not spoken much before, were also willing to speak.

After a few more minutes, the office gradually became lively, and the two male protagonists, Zhang Fengyi and Zhang Guorong, also arrived at the scene.

Because there were too many people, it was naturally impossible to introduce them one by one on the spot, everyone nodded and said hello and sat down, so Zhou Yan didn't talk to Zhang Guorong and them.

Zhang Guorong is in his thirties, it is the peak of his career, and when Zhou Yan was surprised, Zhang Guorong's Mandarin at this time was already very good, and he didn't have too many accents.

However, Zhou Yan didn't hear him say a few words, he looked quite introverted in reality, maybe because he was new to the city and was not familiar with everyone, and it was estimated that it would be better after he got acquainted with it later.

Compared with Zhang Guorong, the other actor Zhang Fengyi is much more cheerful, and as soon as he enters the whole room, his laughter is the loudest.

Zhang Fengyi belongs to the self-cooked one, he can find something to talk to anyone when he meets him, and compared with Zhou Yan, his way of chatting with people is more aggressive, that is, he knows that he is a rough man at a glance.

He often crosses the line when he speaks, but most people think that his personality is dictated and do not take it to heart.

Zhang Fengyi does not have many works, but his fame in China is not small, mainly because his debut was very smooth, and he acted in "Camel Xiangzi" ten years ago when he was still studying.

Because it is a masterpiece and the shooting is really good, the response to the movie was very good at the time, and the social popularity was also high, which suddenly made Zhang Fengyi a well-known movie student.

When it was almost nine o'clock, just when Zhou Yan thought that the participants had arrived today, a bright figure appeared at the door of the conference room.

Seeing someone coming, Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect Dong Wenmiao to come to this crew.

Today's Dong Wenmiao is very different from before, she did not follow the previous ascetic style, the glasses that covered half of her face were taken off, a refreshing white shirt on her upper body, and a light blue floral skirt on her lower body.

Dong Wenmiao is not tall, but because of the high waistline of the skirt and high heels, the whole person looks quite slender.

Seeing Dong Wenmiao coming, Xu Feng stood up very enthusiastically and beckoned to her, "Miao Miao, this way." ”

Dong Wenmiao nodded and walked over.

It seems that Xu Feng is very familiar with Dong Wenmiao, and as soon as Dong Wenmiao sat down, Xu Feng enthusiastically pulled her to talk.

Xu Feng's enthusiasm for Dong Wenmiao is very different from her enthusiasm for others, which can be seen from her hand holding Dong Wenmiao's arm.

Dong Wenmiao also noticed Zhou Yan sitting opposite her at this time, raised her eyebrows slightly, and continued to talk to Xu Feng.

Zhou Yan smiled, and when she raised her eyebrows, she greeted herself.

At nine o'clock, the meeting officially began.

Zhou Yan originally thought that today's meeting would be for the director and producer to arrange tasks and coordinate work with other departments, and there was nothing else.

But he couldn't have imagined that there were still many places in the script that were not coordinated.

Several times, Lu Wei and Chen Kaige had disputes because of different opinions on the script, of course, they were more restrained, the disputes were relatively light, and they didn't say anything more after two sentences.

Zhou Yan always felt that Lu Wei didn't look down on Chen Kaige a little.

Although Zhou Yan has not had much contact with this person, he also knows that he is still a person who cares more about the scene, and in Chang'an Studio before, he had a good relationship with ordinary employees, and he has no shelves, and he is not the kind of person who likes to move dogma and raise the bar.

There is also Li Bihua, who usually doesn't speak at any time, only when Reed scolds Chen Kaige, she will follow behind and give Reed Gang two sentences.

As for Chen Kaige, he doesn't seem to have a good impression of Li Bihua, he is already a little crooked, if he is unhappy with anyone, his mouth will become more crooked, which is very obvious.

The entire creative team looks like a god...... No, she doesn't even look good, only Xu Feng keeps mediating in the middle, but fortunately, she is the boss lady, so everyone listens.

Zhou Yan feels that the core of this crew is not the director Chen Kaige, but the investor Xu Feng.

If it weren't for Xu Feng in the middle, this team might not be able to form a team.

During a two-hour meeting, nearly half of the time was spent discussing the script, and the other half was basically spent on assigning tasks to the actors and other trivial matters, and the first half of the sentence was not related to the soundtrack.

In terms of clothing, I did mention two sentences, but not much.

And the script problems that were focused on were not solved again.

When the meeting ended, Zhou Yan felt that the meeting was lonely, and the only thing he was sure of was to set a few filming locations, namely Mei Lanfang Memorial Hall, Confucius Temple Dacheng Hall, Ditan Park and Fu Jen University.

A series of nodes such as the start time of filming were also not given.

The meeting started at nine o'clock, and by the time the meeting was over, it was already eleven o'clock, and Xu Feng arranged for them to go to the hotel for dinner.

Zhou Yan came by himself, the hotel was far away, and it was too time-consuming to ride a bicycle, so he followed the car of the proprietress Xu Feng, and Dong Wenmiao was also in the car.

When he got to the car, Zhou Yan smiled and said to Dong Wenmiao, "I didn't expect Mr. Dong to be in this crew." ”

Dong Wenmiao nodded, "I didn't expect you to be there." ”

Hearing the conversation between the two, Xu Feng was a little curious, "Miao Miao, you and Zhou Yan have known each other before?" ”

Zhou Yan explained with a smile, "Before director Zhang Yimou filmed "The Red Lantern Hangs High", I was with Teacher Dong. ”

Xu Feng nodded, "By the way, Miao Miao, you also went to "Hang the Red Lantern" to help before, that drama is very hard, running in such a remote place." Our drama is much better, it's in Yanjing City. ”

Then Xu Feng looked at Zhou Yan again and said with a smile, "I heard Kai Ge say, you made the soundtrack for another movie in their factory during this time?" ”

Zhou Yan nodded, "Yes, "Heaven's Reply" directed by Wang Junzheng has been filmed and is now in the final stage. ”

Xu Feng said with a smile, "Yes, you can take charge of yourself at a young age, and when I see you, I feel that I am already old." ”

When a woman says she is old, she probably wants to hear others say that she is young.

Zhou Yan naturally understands this truth, he was about to praise Xu Feng, but he heard Dong Wenmiao suddenly say, "He also made a movie before." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Yan looked at Dong Wenmiao with some surprise, and the latter had no special expression on his face.

The reason why Zhou Yan was surprised was because Dong Wenmiao said this at this time, as if he wanted to recommend him in front of Xu Feng, but Dong Wenmiao, a woman, had a strange temperament, and Zhou Yan couldn't figure it out.

Xu Feng was really interested, "Zhou Yan, have you ever made a movie?" Is there a release? ”

"It's just a short film, you can't go to the cinema." Zhou Yan said modestly.

"It's not easy to make short films, directing is not something ordinary people can do."

"Mainly thanks to the two directors Zhang Yimou and Hou Xiaoxian, I learned a lot from them in the crew at that time, and later it was also Director Hou who supported me and contacted the company to fund me to finish the film."

Zhou Yan said this, not modestly, mainly because he wanted to show his strength to Xu Feng quietly, and let Xu Feng know that his short film was not taken casually, it was with the help of two international famous directors.

This trick did work, and Xu Feng became more interested in his short film, "Do you have a copy on hand?" ”

Zhou Yan shook his head, "No, the film was cut at Chang'an Studios without going through my hands, and it was directly sent to the age company." ”

"That's a bit of a pity, I really want to see this film of yours." Xu Feng's expression was a little regretful, and then she laughed again, "But it's okay, I can ask Mr. Qiu to come and see later." ”

Zhou Yan didn't tell Xu Feng about the award for "Antfly", he took the initiative to say it himself, it had no effect, the main thing was that he was not in a hurry to get a chance here with Xu Feng, as long as this matter could plant a seed in Xu Feng's heart.

There is a company in the future, and he is not worried that he will not be able to find investment in the next short film plan for the time being.
