Zhou Yan's house of more than 600,000 yuan was all funded by Zhou Hong, and Zhou Yan's own money was not touched.

What Zhou Hong means is that Zhou Yan should keep some money in his pocket, whether it is to decorate the house or do other things later, it is difficult to do it without money.

Zhou Yan also knew that it was difficult to have no money in his pocket, so he was not hypocritical, but he wrote an IOU to Zhou Hong and agreed on interest.

Seeing the IOU, Zhou Hong didn't say anything and accepted it silently.

After taking the IOU, Zhou Hong said with a smile, "The house has been bought, but it is estimated that it will cost a lot of money to renovate and decorate your yard in the later stage, do you want to raise another amount of money from me?" ”

Zhou Yan smiled and waved his hand, "Although the decoration in this courtyard is simple now, it is barely enough for me." When I need to renovate later, I should already have money on hand. ”

Zhou Hong nodded, "When you want to decorate, tell me, and go back and decorate my set together." ”

"You really want to live." Zhou Yan said unexpectedly.

He thought that the reason why Zhou Hong bought another set was just for investment, after all, Zhou Hong couldn't come to Yanjing often, and he couldn't come to Yanjing for a few days all year round, so it was better to stay in a hotel.

In terms of accommodation experience alone, staying in a hotel is definitely much more comfortable than living in a courtyard.

If it's just an investment, the renovation is unnecessary and a complete waste of money. When you go back and sell it, you can't get much off on the decoration.

"Why do you buy a house without stopping?" Zhou Hong smiled and said, "Go back and give you a key, and take care of it for me when you have nothing to do, the house is often easy to break when no one goes." ”

"Okay." Zhou Yan nodded.

……

After Zhou Hong left, Zhou Yan began to clean up his new house, the yard was not small, and it was more troublesome for him to clean up alone, so he spent money to hire two people to help him.

After finishing the hygiene, Zhou Yan was going to buy some necessary home textiles, and then he lived in.

I just bought a piano this day, and when Zhou Yan was directing the workers to move inside, he heard a crisp and confused voice from behind: "Senior Brother Zhou Yan? ”

Hearing someone shouting to himself, Zhou Yan turned his head to look, only to see Yu Ran standing not far away with a schoolbag.

Yu Ran originally only saw Zhou Yan's silhouette, and felt a bit like it, so she shouted tentatively, and when she saw that the face was really Zhou Yan, she was surprised, "Senior Brother Zhou Yan, why are you here?" ”

"Because I live here and just moved in." Zhou Yan pointed to the gate of the courtyard, and then he remembered that Yu Ran's house seemed to be here, "It seems that your house is nearby?" ”

Yu Ran nodded and pointed to the north, "My house is in the Hongding compound behind, not far from here." ”

"So close." Zhou Yan was surprised.

Hongding Compound and his courtyard are only separated by an alley, the distance is only one or two hundred meters, standing at the mouth of his alley and looking north, you can see the house of Hongding Compound.

At this time, the worker who moved the piano saw Zhou Yan chatting with the little girl, and was a little anxious, "Boss, where do you put this piano?" ”

"Go inside, the first room on the left." explained to the workers, and then Zhou Yan smiled and said to Yu Ran, "You come in first, I'll take the masters to put the piano away." ”

Yu Ran nodded and followed Zhou Yan into the courtyard.

After the workers set up the piano and left, Zhou Yan smiled and said, "When I first started moving, the house was still relatively simple, and there was no water for you to drink." ”

Yu Ran smiled and shook his head, "I'm not thirsty, Senior Brother Zhou Yan, are you going to live here for a long time?" ”

"Well, stay long." Zhou Yan nodded and laughed again, "I didn't expect your family to live so close, and we will be neighbors in the future." ”

"Then can I come to you more often in the future?" Yu Ran asked weakly.

"Absolutely." Zhou Yan pointed to the piano that had just been arranged, "I plan to make this room into a piano room, and if you come over in the future, we can also practice here." ”

Hearing that Zhou Yan was going to make a piano room at home, Yu Ran's eyes lit up, "That's much more convenient." ”

"You sit." Zhou Yan pulled a chair for Yu Ran, and he sat on the piano bench, "Now there is only the piano here, and other instruments will definitely be added in the future, if there are any tunes to practice in the future, you can do it here." ”

In fact, not only the piano, but also some flutes were placed in the cabinet in the corner, but that was the props that Zhou Yan gave him in the crew of "The Red Lantern Hangs High" before.

Because the quality of this set of flutes is too poor, Zhou Yan didn't mention it.

Yu Ran looked at the piano, bit his lip, and couldn't help asking, "Senior Brother Zhou Yan, hasn't your graduation project been decided yet?" ”

Yu Ran had wanted to ask about this for a long time, and after returning to school at school, Zhou Yan did not look for them, neither practiced the old songs before, nor did the new songs come out.

Yu Ran and Fang Xiu were very puzzled, they didn't know what Senior Brother Zhou Yan was thinking, he didn't know what was going on with the new song he said a few years ago, and whether he could write it this year.

Zhou Yan didn't answer Yu Ran's question, but asked her with a smile, "Do you want to play the old tune or the new tune?" ”

"New tunes, of course." Yu Ran blurted out.

Although the previous songs were very good, Yu Ran hoped to hear Zhou Yan's new works come out and give everyone new surprises. It is a great pleasure to witness the birth of a new song.

"Actually, the new tune has basically taken shape." Zhou Yan said with a smile.

"Really?" Yu Ran's eyes were full of surprise: "What kind of song is it?" ”

Zhou Yan pondered for a moment, and then pushed the lid of the piano, there was no explanation that could be as direct as playing it himself, so Zhou Yan decided to play a part for Yu Ran.

Seeing Zhou Yan push the piano lid open, Yu Ran immediately sat up straight, staring at Zhou Yan with a pair of blazing eyes, looking forward to Zhou Yan's next performance.

However, Zhou Yan played a few notes, shook his head and stopped, and then stood up from the piano bench again.

Just when Yu Ran wondered why Zhou Yan didn't play, Zhou Yan walked to the edge of the corner cabinet, opened the cabinet, and took out a wooden box from it, and there were many bamboo flutes neatly placed in it.

Zhou Yan picked one out of it and carefully pasted the flute membrane.

"This flute is ordinary, you can listen to it."

With a smile and a word, Zhou Yan began to play.

The melodious sound of the flute suddenly filled the room that seemed to be a little empty, but it seemed to push all the walls of the room open, so I felt as if I was in an empty field.

The sound of the flute is like a small bird dancing softly, circling around the treetops, occasionally chirping, and then slowly drifting down the stream under the roots of the tree, and finally disappearing in the night.

In the darkness that engulfs the sound of the flute, it makes people feel mysterious, and they don't know what is hidden inside.

Just as Yu Ran was still reminiscing about the fading flute sound, the song sounded again, and this time, the flute became hot and loud again, like several birds chirping indulgently, which turned the original trickling stream into a rolling torrent, and the joy of the birds at this time was like the undulating waves, enthusiastic and unrestrained.

Originally, Yu Ran thought that at the end of the music, it might return to the quiet and tranquil beginning, but what she didn't expect was that the end of this piece was getting higher and higher, and finally stopped abruptly in a loud "loud noise".

Like a brilliant firework, it unleashes all its passion at the highest point, followed by a rapid dimming and cooling.

Fleeting, fleeting.

When Zhou Yan finished blowing the tune, Yu Ran was still staring at Zhou Yan, his eyes seemed to have fallen in an autumn rain, and they were watery.

Seeing that she was stunned, Zhou Yan asked with a smile, "Senior sister, how do you feel?" ”

Yu Ran remembered to applaud at this time, and she sincerely admired, "This piece is so good, senior brother." ”

Zhou Yan sighed slightly, and then said with a smile, "The flute in my hand is still a little worse, and this is a bamboo flute concerto, so just the bamboo flute lacks a little taste." When you play it later, you will naturally feel more comfortable when you add other instruments to play it. ”

"Senior Brother Zhou Yan, does this new song of yours have a name?" Yu Ran asked.

Zhou Yan nodded: "Yes, it's called "Nightingale". ”

This "Nightingale" is actually a soundtrack prepared by Zhou Yan for "Green Snake", but it is no problem to use it as a graduation work, mainly this is a bamboo flute concerto, and he can be a bamboo flute soloist when he graduates.

After all, it is a graduation work, and Zhou Yan also wants to show his bamboo flute level at the graduation concert.

"Senior brother, do you have a score?" Yu Ran clenched his fists and said excitedly, "I can't wait to play it now." ”

"Yes." Zhou Yan smiled, "But there is no here, in the school dormitory." ”

He had already started writing the score of this piece when he was in Shanghai, and he had already written it two days ago.

"Shall we go get it now?" Yu Ran asked.

"It's ...... now"

Zhou Yan wanted to say that it was too anxious to get the score now, but seeing the eagerness in Yu Ran's eyes, he still nodded and said, "Okay, let's go get it now." ”

"I knew that you were the best, senior brother." Yu Ran jumped up happily directly, "Senior brother, you go get the score, and I'll go back and get my piano." ”

After speaking, Yu Ran didn't wait for Zhou Yan to respond, and trotted out of the house.

Looking at Yu Ran's back, Zhou Yan smiled, this girl is very tall, but she is jumping up and down at this moment, but she looks like a child who has not grown up.

……

In the next few days, Zhou Yan and the others began to practice "The Nightingale", at first, only Zhou Yan and Yu Ran were practicing, and later Jia Guoping, Zhang Xinning, Fang Xiu, and the original team of "Memories of the Forbidden City" gradually joined.

Other people knew that Zhou Yan had written the tune, and they were also very surprised, last year Zhou Yan only said that he had an idea, but he didn't expect the score to be completed so quickly, this efficiency is also terrible.

In fact, there are many people who write fast, like their 87 composition department, there is a well-known fast player Li Tao, this guy writes songs very quickly, claiming to be able to write 365 tunes a year, and he can write one every day.

This is, of course, an exaggeration, that no one can write three hundred and sixty-five tunes a year.

However, Li Tao is really fast, and he can write more than 20 complete tunes in one semester, far more than other students.

Others, under normal circumstances, can write three poems a semester, which is very fast.

Of course, if you write quickly, the quality will naturally be difficult to keep up, Li Tao's songs, many of them are the same, he always likes to write a paragraph that feels good, and then change the way to use it in his other songs.

Jia Guoping had made a joke about Li Tao before, saying that Li Tao wrote a song in his life, as long as he listened to one song, it was enough.

Jia Guoping's words, of course, are also joking, although the songs written by Li Tao are generally of average quality, quantitative changes will also bring qualitative changes, so he can also write one or two good tunes in a year, and in a few years, he can be regarded as having his own masterpieces.

Li Tao exchanges quality for quantity, but Zhou Yan is different, Zhou Yan is fast at the same time, and the quality is also extremely high.

Now this "Nightingale" is another work of a very high level, not inferior to the two songs they played before.

So they were all surprised how Zhou Yan was able to maintain such a high level of creative passion and efficiency.

Some people analyzed that because Zhou Yan usually participates in film and television production in addition to composing, he finds inspiration from film and television dramas.

When Zhou Yan and the others practiced "The Nightingale", if they could make an appointment with the piano room or the composition classroom to be vacant, they would practice at school, and if there was no place in the school, they would go to Zhou Yan's house.

Zhou Yan's piano room, after his arrangement for a period of time, is now a bit of a look.

Basically, as long as he knows the instruments, there are them in the piano room, and the instruments he doesn't know, as long as they are conventional, there are them in the piano room.

Fang Xiu and the others also prefer to practice at Zhou Yan's house, because compared to school, there is a place to rest at Zhou Yan's house, and after being tired, they can sit on the sofa and drink tea and chat.

There are also TVs and game consoles in the opposite lounge, in addition to drinking tea and chatting, you can also watch TV and play games, which is of course much more comfortable than practicing the piano at school.

In the first few days, they practiced until noon, and then they felt that going out to eat was too much of a waste of time and money, so it was better to cook at home.

Then Fang Xiu and another boy majoring in violin took the initiative to invite Ying and set up a team of chefs, and in addition to practicing the piano every day, the two also cooked for the rest of them.

Originally, this courtyard house was not inhabited for some days before it was bought, and Zhou Yan felt quite deserted when he moved in, but he didn't expect that in just one or two weeks, the courtyard would become so lively.

……

One day two weeks later, as soon as they left, Zhou Yan's pager received a message from Sun Qin, asking why others were not at school.

Zhou Yan rode to school again and found Sun Qin.

"Why didn't you call in advance and just come here?" Zhou Yan asked.

"I passed by here and came in directly, how did I hear your roommate say that you haven't lived in school much lately?"

Zhou Yan smiled, "I moved to a new home. ”

"Where?"

"It's close to the National Theatre."

Sun Qin nodded, "That's not far away, but how did you remember to move over there?" ”

"Isn't that convenient for you to find me?" As he spoke, Zhou Yan patted the back seat of the bicycle, "Let's go, I'll take you to the recognition door." ”

"Okay." Sun Qin directly turned over on the back seat of the bicycle.

Zhou Yan took Sun Qin into the courtyard, Sun Qin looked around the courtyard, and couldn't help asking, "Why don't you find an apartment building?" How inconvenient it is to live in a courtyard. ”

"The apartment building is not spacious enough." Zhou Yan said with a smile.

"Well, your yard is not small." Sun Qin nodded, and then asked with a gossipy face, "Zhou Yan, are you a target?" ”

"Do you see me like a subject?"

Sun Qin looked around the courtyard again, and then said in a matter-of-fact manner, "I feel like you have the smell of a hostess in this house." ”

Zhou Yan pouted and smiled, "What is the taste of a hostess?" ”

"There." Sun Qin smiled and pointed to the kitchen, "As soon as I smell this smell, I know that your house usually fires, you are a big man, you live alone, you can usually cook on the fire?" If it weren't for the gold house, I wouldn't believe it. ”

Zhou Yan grabbed his hand in front of Sun Qin, "Quickly put away your filthy thoughts, the orchestra of my graduation work usually practices here, so it will open the fire and cook, how can there be any gold house to hide." Let's get down to business, you just said I was going to your interview, what's wrong? ”

On the road just now, Zhou Yan rode very fast, and the road was noisy, and what Sun Qin said in the back seat, Zhou Yan didn't listen to it all.

Sun Qin repeated what he said on the road just now, "When I asked you to go to our station, I brought the other main creators with me." ”

"The director, screenwriter, and soundtrack are all me, and the other main creative staff are assistant directors and assistant directors, and I can't call you the producer."

"Isn't there still a male and female protagonist?"

"Male lead...... Forget it, the child practices the piano every day, don't bother him. The heroine's words are okay, but she actually has fewer roles in the movie. ”

Sun Qin waved his hand, "It's a little less, it doesn't matter, just bring it, when the time comes, there are more people, we can ask them how you behave in your usual life, and let them say good things to you." If it's just you in the interview, it's hard to brag about it. ”

"Just seek truth from facts, and you don't have to engage in touting and boasting...... How many more people should I call? ”

"Well, not too much, just two or three."

"Then I will call the assistant director Wang Xiaoshuai and go with the heroine Yu Feihong."

"Hmm." Sun Qin nodded with a smile, and then said, "By the way, there is another thing, two days ago, that Liang Yu went to our TV station again, and chatted with Team Leader Sun for a while, although he didn't talk about the promotional video, but I heard Team Leader Sun say that Liang Yu is still very interested in you." ”

Zhou Yan shook his head, "It's useless to be interested, it's still too early to talk about this matter, wait until the application is confirmed, let's talk about it." ”

Seeing that Zhou Yan was not very concerned, Sun Qin said, "I think you have to prepare early, and when the time comes, when they are sure to shoot a promotional video for the Olympic bid, you can directly shoot the score in front of them." Then he shouted, look, this is the song I gave to the promotional video, come and worship. ”

Sun Qin is thirty years old, but he still looks like a middle two, and Zhou Yan was also amused by him, "You, it's better to look at the stalls less." ”

"You don't know how to stall." Sun Qin pursed his lips, "But what I said just now is serious, you prepare in advance, and you can deal with it when the time comes." ”

Zhou Yan rolled his eyes, "I don't even know who the director is, what style he wants, and what kind of film he wants to make." But you want me to write the soundtrack in advance, I think you have a big problem with your brain. ”

"You write the soundtrack first, and then let people shoot it according to your soundtrack."

Zhou Yan stretched out his head and looked outside the house.

"What are you looking at?" Sun Qin asked.

"I'll see if it's dark outside, why did you start dreaming."

Sun Qin said with a smile, "Do people always have dreams?" ”

Zhou Yan waved his hand, "Okay, it's useless to be in a hurry, you have also recognized the door, so let's leave quickly." ”

"Your way of sending off customers is too direct." Sun Qin shook his head with a smile and began to walk out, then thought of something, turned around and asked, "You also live in a new house now, why don't you install a phone?" There is a telephone, and it is convenient to contact it later. ”

Zhou Yan shrugged his shoulders, "I've already applied, but I have to queue up, and I don't know when it will be my turn." ”

Hearing Zhou Yan queuing, Sun Qin smiled and said, "You look for me in this matter, and I'll solve it for you." ”

"Do you have a relationship with that?"

"Cut, I've been mixed in Yanjing for thirty years, is it for nothing? Okay, I know about this, you can go again in two days, it should be fine. ”

After that, Sun Qin waved his hand and left.

……

After Sun Qin left, Zhou Yan went to find a phone booth and dialed the number Yu Feihong left before, but no one answered for a long time.

Seeing that no one answered the phone, Zhou Yan probably understood that Yu Feihong should live in the school now, not outside.

After thinking about it, Zhou Yan rode to Yenching Film Academy again.

The Yenching Film Academy is next to the Yenching Film Studio, not too far from where Zhou Yan lives now, and it is easy to ride a bicycle to get there.

When he arrived at Yenching Film Academy, Zhou Yan went directly to the dormitory building where Yu Feihong lived, and when he got downstairs, Zhou Yan casually arrested a girl.

"Classmate, can you help me call Yu Feihong from dormitory 305?"

The girl looked at Zhou Yan, and then shouted at the top of her voice: "Senior Sister Feihong, there is a beautiful boy looking for you!" ”

Hearing the girl's high-pitched voice, Zhou Yan was startled, good guy, how can this girl follow their class Xu Yuhong in the same way?

Moreover, this girl looks thin and thin, her appearance is not good, and she has a smoky voice, and her voice is hoarse, but it is very penetrating.

She didn't call out Yu Feihong when she shouted, but many other girls poked their heads out, probably wanting to see what the "pretty boy" downstairs looked like.

Among the people who came out, there were more than one Zhou Yan knew.

"Zhou Yan?"

The first shout came from the second floor, and Zhou Yan took a closer look, and it was Kong Lin who shouted him.

Zhou Yan was also a little surprised when he saw Kong Lin, it stands to reason that Kong Lin has graduated now, why is he still in Yenching Film Academy?

Before Zhou Yan could open his mouth to ask Kong Lin why he was in school, another head poked out from the third floor, and when this head saw Zhou Yan, he was surprised, "Director Zhou? ”

Zhou Yan moved his gaze from the second floor to the third floor again, and saw Xu Qingzheng looking at him with a happy face.
