Zhou Yan and Zhang Jianya did not just have a verbal agreement, he also signed a contract with Shanghai Studios.

On the one hand, now that Zhou Yan has signed a contract with Tomson, he needs to ask the company to help him dock with many things, and it will definitely not work without a contract.

After signing the contract with the Shanghai Studio, Zhou Yan set off to return to Yanjing.

After determining the soundtrack direction, Zhang Jianya was also in a good mood in the past two days, smiling every day.

The day after Zhou Yan left Shanghai, Zhang Jianya whistled into the office in the morning, and before he sat down, his assistant director Cui Jie came over with a copy of "Xinmin Evening News".

"Director Zhang, look at this Zhou Yan, isn't it Zhou Yan?"

This sounded a bit awkward, Zhang Jianya stretched out his head and looked at the newspaper in Cui Jie's hand, and immediately understood what Cui Jie meant by asking this.

Cui Jie flipped to the "Cultural News" section, which had a box that took up about one-fifth of the entire section, and the news headline in it was: Chinese director Zhou Yan won the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival Award for "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly"!

Seeing this title, Zhang Jianya raised his eyebrows, although he didn't know what the movie made by Zhou Yan was called, but his intuition told him that the Zhou Yan in the news was the Zhou Yan he knew.

Looking at the following news content, although there is no detailed introduction to director Zhou Yan, it is mentioned that this film is jointly produced by Tomson Investment, a well-known enterprise in Shanghai, and Yanjing Studio.

Seeing this content, Zhang Jianya was basically sure that the director of "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" was Zhou Yan he knew.

"Yes, it must be Director Zhou." Zhang Jianya said.

Hearing the affirmative reply, Cui Jie said excitedly, "Director Zhang, then we have found a treasure, and the director who won the international award will make the soundtrack for us...... Looking at this news, it is said that the soundtrack in the movie "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" is of a very high level, and it has been unanimously praised by foreign judges at the film festival. You say, when you ask the newspaper to promote our movie, add this paragraph, isn't it ......?"

Seeing Cui Jie's excitement, Zhang Jianya smiled, Zhou Yan's winning the international award is just icing on the cake for him, even if there is no such award, they have already picked up the treasure themselves, can't the soundtrack of "Heaven's Reply" explain the problem?

But at the same time, he also sighed that Zhou Yan is really powerful, he can direct and act, and when he was as old as Zhou Yan, he was still in school with Tian Baoqiang and a few of them preparing to shoot graduation works.

Every day, I think about whether I can be assigned to a good unit.

People are more angry than people.

……

The news of "Xinmin Evening News" came out relatively late, and the day before Zhou Yan and Zhang Jianya met, Yanjing TV had already broadcast the news.

The Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival itself is not well-known in China, but when Yenching TV broadcasts the news, it compares the Clermont-Ferrand Film Festival to "the Cannes of short films".

With such a comparison, everyone naturally knows the level of Clermont-Ferrand.

Of course, Yanjing TV wants to praise Zhou Yan, because Zhou Yan is the soundtrack director of their feature film "The Forbidden City: Memory".

In the news broadcast by Yanjing TV, this incident was also highlighted, and "The Forbidden City: Memory" was played three times in a row in the three days after the news broadcast.

During this period, Zhou Yan also received a lot of pager messages from Yanjing Studio, and the content was similar, that is, a certain newspaper or a certain TV station hoped to make an appointment with him for a special interview.

In fact, after the release of "The Red Lantern Hangs High", Zhou Yan had already received similar news from Chang'an Studio, but at that time, there were few media who wanted to interview him, and his reputation was not very big.

This time, however, there has been a noticeable increase, and many of them are well-known media outlets.

Zhou Yan is not resistant to being interviewed, but he has a lot of things to do now and little time, so he will definitely be more cautious in the choice of media, and he has promised Yanjing TV to give them a special interview after a while, and he can only let other media go first.

Wait until you have some free time in the next few days, and then consider taking interviews with other media.

Zhou Yan didn't have time to be interviewed, so he pushed the boat down the river and asked Yanjing Studios to give the opportunity to interview Senior Lu and Wang Xiaoshuai, or find Yu Feihong.

is mainly looking for Wang Xiaoshuai, because Senior Lu is not in good health, he had a major operation last fall, and he is still recuperating recently, and it is not convenient to be interviewed.

After Zhou Yan arrived in Yanjing, after a brief rest, he took two bottles of Jian Nanchun and a Hongta Mountain to the teacher Shi Wanchun's house to pay him a New Year's greeting.

Shi Wanchun opened the door and saw Zhou Yan, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, but when he saw the things Zhou Yan was carrying, his expression became serious again, "Come on, why do you bring such an expensive thing?" ”

Now a bottle of Jian Nanchun costs forty or fifty yuan, two bottles of Jian Nanchun plus a Hongta Mountain, one or two hundred yuan, which is more than many people's monthly salary, which is naturally very valuable.

Zhou Yan lifted the things in his hand and said with a smile, "This cigarette is a gift for you to bring for the New Year, this wine is not counted, I brought it to drink today, and the students will accompany you to have a drink in the evening." ”

In fact, the meaning is similar, but after changing the word, Shi Wanchun's expression eased a lot.

"Don't take it as an example."

At this time, Shi Wanchun's lover Liu Xuejuan also walked out of the back room, "Xiao Zhou is here." ”

Zhou Yan greeted respectfully, "Good teacher." ”

Liu Xuejuan saw the cigarettes and wine, and also complained, "Come here, bring something." ”

Shi Wanchun said with a smile, "I also said him, but since I'm here, I'll bother you, the master, to cook a few more dishes at night, and let our master and apprentice drink two cups." ”

"I still need to say it."

……

Before drinking, Shi Wanchun had been talking to Zhou Yan about some things in life, and after three rounds of drinking, he chatted with Zhou Yan about work.

"Jia Guoping is still living in the student dormitory, which shouldn't be, but the school accommodation is tight and has been delayed. However, seeing that you also want to stay in school, the school decided to vacate a suite for you and Jia Guo to hold on. ”

Zhou Yan nodded, "Everything is arranged by the school." ”

In fact, the accommodation conditions of Yangyin are already very good, and now many new teachers in schools can only live in a single room with a few people.

Like Zhou Yan and Jia Guoping, the two of them can get a suite, which is the envy of many people.

Zhou Yan has not had much idea about school accommodation, and he has recently been considering whether to buy a property near the school.

He does have this need now, and there will definitely be people looking for him often in the future, if he always brings people to the dormitory, even if Jia Guoping doesn't mind, he himself feels that it is not suitable.

Zhou Yan also wants to buy a set of musical instruments at home, and if he stays in the dormitory, there is no place to put things.

And recently, the housing prices in Yanjing are rising, and buying a set as soon as possible can be regarded as an investment.

It's just that the house prices in Yanjing are not cheap now, the average is one or two thousand and one square meters, and in the second ring where the central sound is located, it is even more difficult to find a room, and Zhou Yan now has more than 100,000 yuan on hand, and it is not so easy to buy a satisfactory house.

In fact, Zhou Yan wants to buy a set of courtyard houses, so that it is convenient for him to work at home in the future, but now a set of courtyard houses is not cheap, and it is often hundreds of thousands.

……

The next day, Zhou Yan took advantage of nothing to do and went out to look at the house, but after looking around, there was nothing suitable.

The second ring road can buy some bungalows, the area is not large, the environment is average, and the price is not cheap.

I met an intermediary and recommended two courtyard houses to Zhou Yan, and he felt quite satisfied, but the price was expensive.

The cheaper one costs more than 400,000 yuan, and the more expensive one costs more than 600,000 yuan, and the money in Zhou Yan's hand is far behind. Now, no bank is willing to lend him money.

After shopping for two days, Zhou Yan also sighed that the possibility of poor people wanting to turn over by buying a house is really not high.

Looking forward after 30 years, hundreds of thousands of courtyard houses don't seem expensive, but the question is who can come up with hundreds of thousands of ordinary people now.

The monthly salary of ordinary people is one or two hundred, and it is difficult for the high ones to exceed five hundred.

Those who can afford a courtyard house are basically those who have completed capital accumulation.

Therefore, in these years, the operation of buying a house, in most cases, is to make the rich become richer. Of course, it's okay, it's better than making the poor poorer.

With the money in Zhou Yan's hand now, he can only buy a bungalow within the second ring road.

However, Zhou Yan thought about it and still didn't want to live in a bungalow, so he decided to find a financing channel.

The day before school started, Zhou Yan called his brother Zhou Hong.

After the phone was connected, Zhou Yan didn't make a detour, and said directly: "Second brother, I want to raise money with you." ”

"Financing?" Zhou Hong on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, "You want to borrow money?" ”

"I'll give you interest."

"Borrow...... How much is the financing? ”

"Five hundred thousand."

"Yes." Zhou Hong didn't hesitate at all, and then asked, "What are you going to do with this money, do you want to make a movie?" ”

"No, I buy a house."

"A house of 500,000 yuan, the house in Yanjing is not cheap, then I will go to Yanjing the day after tomorrow."

"Okay."

……

Zhou Hong's efficiency is very high, and after he came, he set up two sets of courtyard houses on the same day, the one of more than 600,000 yuan was given to Zhou Yan to live in, and the one of more than 400,000 yuan was kept by himself.

In fact, Zhou Yandu still wanted to bargain, because he felt that there was still room for bargaining, but Zhou Hong felt that there was no need to waste time, since he was optimistic, he just made a decisive move.

"Yanjing's real estate market is liberalized, there will definitely be a wave of rise in the past two years, and it will definitely not lose money if you buy it now. Considering this price space, if there is any accident in the middle, the gain outweighs the loss. ”

This was said by Zhou Hong.

Zhou Yan couldn't help but sigh that rich people not only have money to operate, but also have a more keen grasp of policies.

Seeing Zhou Hong take out more than one million without blinking, Zhou Yan experienced the feeling of being a rich second generation for the first time.
