The men in the council chamber were talking about something else, but after the movie started, they all focused on the TV again.

This is a 34-inch Sony brand color TV, with a price of more than 10,000 yuan.

The 34-inch screen is already very large in this era, not to mention the size, many people don't even have a black and white TV at home.

Not to mention that there is also that video recorder, which is at least a few thousand dollars larger, and this set of equipment can be worth a house in most places in the country, and it is not something that ordinary families can afford at all.

More than a dozen people watch a TV,Everyone is very serious,Such a scene is very common now,But I'm afraid it's hard to see it in 30 years,At that time, everyone should be holding a mobile phone TV most of the time just acting as an ambient sound。

Zhou Yan actually likes this kind of atmosphere, everyone is watching TV, and if they don't speak, you can only focus on the film, and watching TV in this case is a kind of enjoyment.

Thirty years later, it is very easy for a person to fall into a very boring situation when watching TV, especially when there is a remote control in hand, always changing the channel or fast-forwarding.

People who watch TV always want to see the follow-up plot quickly, and when they have the option of fast forward, they will make great use of it, and it is difficult to calm down.

Several hostesses, who were busy in the kitchen, also stretched out their heads from time to time to look out.

Especially when Zhou Yan appears, there is no one in the kitchen, and they will all come out and enjoy Zhou Yan's performance with everyone.

Although they don't think about movie stars, it's a very interesting thing to watch their loved ones appear in movies.

When the movie is over and the meal is served, grandma beckons everyone to eat.

When pouring the wine, the boss Zhou Yu also poured a glass for Zhou Yan, "The third child will also have a drink today." ”

Zhou Yan did not refuse, and took the wine glass with a smile.

Seeing Zhou Yan holding the wine glass, the old man Zhou Minnong was also very happy, and said with a smile, "The younger generation has gradually grown up, and the wine table will be your world in the future." ”

Zhou Yaohua asked, "Xiaoyan, do you drink at school?" ”

"Rarely drink."

"Then it means it's still drinking." Zhou Yaozu smiled, "You still have one semester to graduate, you can start drinking." ”

"More than one semester, right? They specialize in a five-year program, which is another year off, and there should be another year and a half. Zhou Yaohua said.

Zhou Yan said with a smile, "The third uncle is right, I will graduate in one semester, the school has passed my application for early graduation, and I will graduate with the 87 class next year." ”

Hearing that Zhou Yan graduated early, the family was very happy, and Zhou Yaohua was concerned about his distribution, "What do you say about the unit allocation?" Is there a suitable unit to receive it? ”

"The distribution of the composition department of the central sound is not a big problem, the key still depends on Xiaoyan's own considerations, whether to stay in Yanjing or return to Jinling. Yanjing is too far away, our family is not enough, if you go back to Jinling, it will be easier to arrange. Zhou Yaozu said.

The Zhou family has been rooted in Jinling for many years, and they can still speak locally, an ordinary unit, that is, a matter of one sentence.

"You can also continue your studies, go to graduate school at this university, or go abroad." Zhou Minong said.

The old man is more open-minded, and thinks that it is also a good thing for young people to go abroad to see the world, as long as they know where their roots are.

Zhou Yan smiled, "Grandpa, I have decided to stay in school to teach, the process is going, and it should be completed after the beginning of the year." ”

Hearing Zhou Yan's decision to stay in school, they all nodded.

In fact, in the eyes of the Zhou family, staying in school to teach is not a particularly good choice, and Zhou Yan has other better ways to go.

If Zhou Yan is willing, the Zhou family can arrange him to join some orchestras or troupes in Jinling, stay there for a few years, and then transfer to a management post and take a career in office.

This is their training route for Zhou Yu, don't look at Zhou Yu working in the "Yangtze Evening News" now, but he should be transferred to the "Jinling Daily" in a few years.

In the "Jinling Daily", you don't have to mix to the top, you can get mixed up as an associate editor-in-chief, and you can be transferred to the county or district to enter the leadership group within a few years.

If it goes well, Zhou Yu will be able to enter the leadership team of the prefecture-level city before the age of forty.

With the ability of the Zhou family, it is completely possible to do this, but further up, it mainly depends on Zhou Yu's own ability.

Zhou Yan has lived in the Zhou family for less time since he was a child, and he is not the eldest grandson, so the elders don't have any special requirements for him, and they all support his choice.

Everyone else cares about Zhou Yan's unit allocation, but Zhou Yu pays more attention to Zhou Yan's acting career.

"Third child, when will the movie you made in the summer be released?"

Zhou Yan shook his head with a smile, "The release time has not been determined yet, at least half a year." ”

"So slow." Zhou Yu pursed his lips, and then said with a smile, "You have to film more, even if you don't come back often in the future, our family can go to the cinema to see you." ”

Zhao Lan rolled her son's eyes, "What are you talking about, can't you expect your third brother to come back and see more?" And Xiaoyan is about to graduate now, and he has to start thinking about personal problems, Xiaoyan, do you have any girls in school? ”

"If there are classmates who are eye-catching, it is the best, there are common topics among classmates, and the emotional foundation is good." The third aunt Li Guangqin said with a smile.

Zhou Yan shook his head, "I don't have this idea for the time being, let's wait until my job is stable." ”

"Men, it's good to put your career first." Zhou Yaozu said.

Zhou Qian, who was sitting opposite, saw that her third brother was urged to marry, so she quickly brought the topic back to the movie, "In the scene filmed in the summer, the third brother was the director, and he didn't appear on the scene, so we couldn't see him in the cinema." ”

"That's boring." Zhou Yu pursed his lips, "You still have to show your face more, otherwise how can you become a big star?" ”

Zhou Yan smiled, "I'm mainly doing behind-the-scenes work now, if I'm acting, let's look at the chance, and I will take on good roles when I meet them." ”

"I don't think there's anything bad about the behind-the-scenes work, another movie with the third brother's soundtrack is about to be released, and I asked my classmates to watch it." Zhou Qian said again.

The old man Zhou Minnong smiled, "Yes, what movie?" ”

"It's called "Heaven's Reply", and it will be released on the 28th of the lunar month."

Zhou Minnong nodded, "The twenty-eighth day of the lunar month is very good, and the second child should also be home by then, let's go to the cinema together as a family." ”

Zhou Yu immediately said, "Okay, I'll get a movie ticket." ”

……

In the next few days, Zhou Yan went to his grandparents' house in the morning and returned to his house in the afternoon.

On the morning of the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, not long after Zhou Yan got up, he was sitting on the sofa reading a book when someone knocked on the door outside.

Zhou Yan went over to open the door, and his brother Zhou Hong stood outside the door.

Seeing Zhou Hong, Zhou Yan smiled, "I'm back." ”

"Well, I arrived last night."

Zhou Hong nodded, and after entering the door, he first put incense on his mother, then sat on the sofa, and said, "Some time ago, there was another factory in the house, so I have been busy recently, I heard my eldest brother say, you go to Yuhua every day after you come back?" ”

"Well, if you don't come, I'll be ready to go there in a while."

Zhou Hong glanced at the offering table again, he knew that Zhou Yan should also go there this year, but he wanted to come to see his mother and talk to his younger brother alone by the way.

They hadn't seen each other for a few days, and although they had a phone call in between, they didn't talk much.

"Is that movie we went to see in the afternoon that you made in the summer?"

Zhou Yan smiled, "How can it be so fast, the movie I made has not yet set a release time, the one I went to see in the afternoon was shot by Yanjing Studio, and I served as the soundtrack director in it." ”

Zhou Hong nodded, he hadn't talked much about movies with Zhou Yan before, so he didn't know about these situations.

After thinking about it, Zhou Hong asked again, "How much money can you get for the soundtrack of the movie?" ”

Zhou Yan didn't know why Zhou Hong asked this, but he also answered truthfully, "A thousand yuan." ”

Hearing that it was only about a thousand yuan, Zhou Hong frowned, he didn't expect it to be so little.

Zhou Hong didn't know the market, but he saw on the news that the box office of some movies can reach tens of millions, so he thought that the work of soundtrack guidance was also very important, and he should be able to get a lot of money.

"Then how much money can you get for the movie you directed?" Zhou Hong asked again.

"Fifty thousand dollars."

In fact, there is more than 50,000, this 50,000 is the basic salary, and if the movie wins an award, Zhou Yan can get a reward for different levels of awards.

Of course, the box office is divided into something, and there is definitely no share of him. And there shouldn't be too many rewards, the awards that a movie can get are very limited, and the awards for low-level awards are not much.

This money is certainly not much, but for a rookie director, it is actually not a small amount.

However, in Zhou Hong's opinion, the money is pitiful, and the soundtrack can't get much money, he didn't expect that even the director could only take this.

"How much does it cost to make a movie?"

Zhou Yan smiled, "Then it depends on what movie is made, a few tens of thousands can be made, and a few tens of millions are normal." ”

"What about "The Red Lantern Hangs High"?"

"Millions."

Zhou Yan only knows a rough idea, and as for the specific millions, he doesn't know.

"That's not much."

Zhou Yan looked at Zhou Hong with interest, "Brother, why are you asking this?" Want to invest in making movies? ”

"It's just curiosity, just ask...... Where is the profit in this line? Is it just the box office?"

"It's not all, you can also sell copyrights, sell videotapes, Europe and the United States are more mature in this area, and there are more ways to make money. It's a little worse in China, and in China, there are places to make movies, you can't shoot if you want to, like the one I made, it was co-produced with Yanjing Studio. ”

"It seems that there are still more Taoists." Zhou Hong nodded, then stood up, "Let's go, don't ride, take my car." ”

In the winter, of course, Zhou Yan didn't want to ride, so he smiled and nodded, "Okay." ”
