Leaving Lang Guoren's residence, Zhou Yan did not go back to school, but went to Yanjing Studio.

In the corner of Xia Gang's office, Zhou Yan found Senior Lu.

At this time, Senior Lu was immersed in reading, he was thin, with long hair, and a pair of thick glasses, sitting in the corner, and he couldn't find it if he didn't pay attention.

"Road guide."

Zhou Yan walked up to Senior Lu and said hello.

Senior Lu looked up in a daze, and when he saw that it was Zhou Yan, he pushed his glasses and smiled, "Director Zhou." ”

"Busy?" Zhou Yan gave Senior Lu another cigarette.

Senior Lu took the cigarette, but he didn't rush to light it, he shook his head, "No, I'm reading a book, do you have something to do with Zhou Gui looking for me?" ”

Looking at Zhou Yan, Senior Lu had a puzzled expression.

Zhou Yan is a celebrity in their factory, he often haunts the factory, and he is very familiar with the people in the factory, and they have spoken a few words before, but they don't have much contact, so Senior Lu doesn't understand why Zhou Yan suddenly came to him.

"Something is true." Zhou Yan sat down opposite Senior Lu with a smile and asked, "Do you have any projects to follow in the recent past this time?" ”

For example, newcomers like Senior Lu who have been here for less than a year are basically based on projects, with movies and movies, TV series and TV series, and sometimes other units are short of people, and they may also be seconded.

The rules of each studio are different, and the attitude towards bringing in new people is also different, but no matter which studio it is, it is impossible to make a film independently without a few years.

Many studios directly stipulate that newcomers must polish for five years before they can make movies alone.

This may sound like a bad deal for newcomers, but in fact, the reality is even more unfriendly than the rules, and most people can't make movies on their own, even after five years.

A film costs at least hundreds of thousands of dollars to make a budget, and it is certainly impossible for a studio to spend money on young directors.

Take Yanjing Studio as an example, the annual budget of the factory is only so much money, if you don't give it to senior directors such as Chen Kaige, Tian Zhuangzhuang and Wang Junzheng, can you give it to newcomers like Senior Lu?

Unless there are private enterprises willing to invest money, and the new director has no works, it is naturally impossible for anyone to invest money in them.

Speaking of which, there is still no money.

Senior Lu is now staying up for time, doing work if he has work, and resting when he doesn't.

"Since September, there have been two TV series, but I haven't been busy lately." Senior Lu said with a smile, he is now looking forward to the arrival of September, when he can also be busy.

Zhou Yan actually knew that Senior Lu was not busy now, and he knew what plans Yanjing Studios had recently. He didn't have to inquire about it, he had nothing to do to chat with the people in the factory, and they would naturally talk.

"That's right, I've been preparing a movie recently, which was invested by Tomson Film Company, and now there is a lack of an executive director, I want to invite you to come, I don't know if you want to." Zhou Yan explained his intention to Senior Lu.

Hearing Zhou Yan's words, Senior Lu looked surprised.

Senior Lu was surprised by two parts, one was that he was surprised that Zhou Yan was actually preparing for a movie, wasn't he the soundtrack director? In what capacity did he prepare the film? Director? Producer? It can't be a soundtrack director!

The other part was surprised that Zhou Yan was looking for him, although he was confident that he had the ability to make movies, he was only a newcomer who had just been here for less than a year.

But he cares more about the movie, "What kind of movie is it?" ”

Zhou Yan briefly told Senior Lu about the script of "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly", and after listening to it, Senior Lu was very interested.

The plot of this movie sounds quite bland, but it is very attractive to Senior Lu, the key is that he really wants to be busy recently, and in the ten months he has been in the factory, he feels that he has nothing to do all day, and if he continues like this, he will be about to be wasted.

Although he likes to be quiet, he is often alone in the office, which is too uncomfortable.

He felt that everyone who walked through their office would definitely think, "Oh, Senior Lu didn't follow the project."

Senior Lu was very bored, but he was not a hypocritical person, he lit the cigarette that Zhou Yan had just given him, and said, "Director Zhou, I am very interested in this script, but the unit is ...... here."

Zhou Yan knew what he was going to say, so he smiled and said, "As long as you agree, I will talk to Director Chen." ”

It is not difficult to borrow someone from the factory, although he has not had much contact with Chen Zhigu, but Zhou Yan knows a little about him, and he pays great attention to the training of young directors in the factory.

It's just that the resources in the factory are limited, and there are not many young directors who can lean towards them, and now there are people who are willing to help them train directors, and it is too late for him to be happy.

Facts have proved that Zhou Yan was right.

As soon as he ran to Chen Zhigu's office to tell him about it, Chen Zhigu agreed without thinking about it, "Borrow, you just have to borrow, as long as you remember to pay it back." ”

After getting Chen Zhigu, Zhou Yan returned to the director's office and told Senior Lu about it.

The two talked about some things related to the movie again, and the more they talked, the more speculative they became, and when they learned that Zhou Yan lacked an assistant, Senior Lu was a little eager to say something.

Seeing him like this, Zhou Yan asked with a smile, "Lao Lu, do you have someone to recommend?" ”

Hearing Zhou Yan's question, Senior Lu said: "It was a classmate of mine, and he was originally assigned to Yanjing Studios like me, but because of various changes, it didn't happen, and now he is still unemployed." ”

"What's your classmate's name?" Zhou Yan asked.

"Wang Xiaoshuai."

When Senior Lu said that there was a classmate just now, Zhou Yan was wondering if it was a well-known director in the six generations, and sure enough, it turned out to be Wang Xiaoshuai.

Among the sixth generation of directors, the more famous ones are Jia Zhangke, Lou Ye, and Wang Xiaoshuai, compared to a few of them, Senior Lu's fame may be smaller, because the frequency of his works is relatively low, and he died young.

But compared to others, what Zhou Yan admires most is Senior Lu in front of him, because Senior Lu is very special, even among the six generations of directors, his works are special.

Seeing that Zhou Yan was silent, Senior Lu said good things for his classmates again, "Xiaoshuai, his foundation is very solid. ”

He wanted to say more good things to Wang Xiaoshuai, but his personality dictated it, so he said such a sentence, and he was embarrassed to say it.

Zhou Yan smiled, "Is he in Yanjing now?" ”

"Well, it's still there." Senior Lu nodded.

"Then let him come to me."

Zhou Yan took out another card from his pocket, with his paging number on it, and then he wrote his address on the back.

……

Zhou Yan thought that Wang Xiaoshuai would contact him before Lang Guoren, but he didn't expect that he would receive news from Lang Guoren that afternoon.

After Lang Guoren sent Lang Lang to Teacher Zhao's house for class, he went to find Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan didn't say much, and directly took the script to Lang Guoren, and the walkman recorded "Mimak at the Station" and "Croatian Rhapsody".

After Lang Guoren finished reading the script and listened to the two pieces again, Zhou Yan said to him with a smile, "The second piece is now only recorded as a piano solo, but in the version presented in the movie, there will be a professional orchestra to play the piano concerto." Subsequent films will be sent to Europe to participate in film festivals, when the performances of the leading characters will be presented internationally through the festival. ”

"Did you write that?" Lang Guoren looked at Zhou Yan in surprise.

Zhou Yan nodded, "Well, I wrote it for this movie." ”

Lang Guoren looked at Zhou Yan and forced a smile on his face, "Director Zhou, you are really talented." ”

After reading the script and listening to the tune, Lang Guoren's thinking changed dramatically. Thinking of yesterday's bad attitude, he now wants to make up for it.

The script is all second, the most important is the second piece, Lang Guoren has even begun to imagine that his son is playing the piano on stage, and there is a professional orchestra next to him to play the scene.

Isn't this the picture he thinks about day and night?

and Zhou Yan said that going to a foreign film festival to participate in the exhibition completely broke his defense.

Zhou Yan smiled, of course he could feel Lang Guoren's change in attitude, and this was all in his expectation.

"If Lang Lang is willing to come, then we will continue to talk later."

Lang Guoren immediately said, "He can." ”

At this time, Zhou Yan smiled and said, "Although you are Lang Lang's father, I still want to know the actor's own wishes, and I have to talk to him." ”

"Okay, then I'll bring him over when he finishes class." Lang Guoren nodded, and then he asked with a smile, "Director Zhou, can this second piece be used as Lang Lang's exclusive track?" ”

Zhou Yan knew what Lang Guoren meant, and the exclusive track was to let Lang Lang record this song in his own album in the future, so that the first thing that others thought of when they heard this song was Lang Lang.

Just as in another time and place, when people hear the Croatian Rhapsody, they think of Maxim who played it, not the other pianists, and not even the composer who wrote it.

Of course, Zhou Yan would not agree to such a request, but he did not refuse directly, but said with a smile, "It depends on Lang Lang's performance and development in the future." ”

Lang Guoren nodded again and again, "Okay, I understand, Director Zhou, don't worry, Lang Lang won't let you down." ”

Today's Lang Guoren has been completely pinched by Zhou Yan, and he is now full of thoughts about letting his son participate in Zhou Yan's movie and perform well in it.

In the evening, Lang Guoren brought Lang Lang over again, and Zhou Yan chatted with Lang Lang alone for a while.

Lang Lang is very good in all aspects, but his accent is a bit heavy.

Zhou Yan remembered He Saifei's accent again, the two of them played mother and son, this accent didn't match, but it was nothing, anyway, he didn't prepare for the live recording, and he would find someone to dub it in the later stage.

There is also the need to find a smaller actor to play the male protagonist in kindergarten, which is not difficult, because the requirements are not high, in the script designed by Zhou Yan, the male protagonist of the kindergarten version is less than the original film.

When parting, Zhou Yan gave Lang Lang a script and score, and asked him to study more when he was fine.
