Chapter 124: Looking for You to Invite Song
Under normal circumstances, the news on the Xiangjiang side will not reach the mainland after a while, and there is a time lag in the middle, but this time, the box office of "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" has just exceeded five million in Xiangjiang, and the news has already been reported, even faster than some local newspapers in Xiangjiang, and the high efficiency is a bit abnormal.
And the reason why this is so is because the content of the news was provided to them by Zhang Youan.
As soon as the box office of "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" exceeded 5 million in Xiangjiang, Zhang Youan contacted some media on both sides of the strait and asked them to help publicize it.
The media on the mainland side do not need Zhang Youan's publicity money, and they are also very happy to get first-hand information from Zhang Youan, which is a mutually beneficial thing.
Although "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" was jointly produced by Yanjing and Tomson Film Company, in the news, it was only labeled as a mainland movie, just to make the audience think that "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" won the breath of mainland movies.
As it turns out, this strategy does work.
Since this news came out, other newspapers have followed suit, and there have been a little discrepancies in the process of reporting.
In the initial report, it was said that "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" bucked the trend and got a box office of 5 million in Xiangjiang as a dark horse, and it is very hopeful that it will break through to 10 million in the future.
Although the news description is a bit exaggerated, such as 10 million, it is actually nothing in Xiangjiang, but the news gives people the feeling that 10 million is very powerful.
But no matter how it plays out, the data given by the initial report is true.
Later, when some media relayed it, it became that "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" was the dark horse of the year at the box office in Xiangjiang, and it had already won tens of millions of box office, becoming the highest-grossing film released in Xiangjiang in the mainland.
These "misunderstandings" have made "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" more popular.
Many fans are also curious, what kind of movie is this "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly", and why it is so popular with fans in Xiangjiang, after all, Xiangjiang movies are so famous, it is not easy to reverse output in Xiangjiang, and they also walked into the cinema with this curiosity.
It is very difficult for a movie like "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" to become a hit, but because of these news, the mainland box office has indeed increased a lot.
In fact, compared with Xiangjiang and Taiwan Island, the mainland's propaganda methods are still relatively simple.
In Xiangjiang and Taiwan, many reports directly labeled "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" as "the movie that music students should watch the most" and "the movie that parents should watch the most", and the publicity effect is really good.
The main reason is that the early results are really good, so a lot of publicity expenses were added in the later stage, and these expenses were basically used by Zhang Youan on these circulars.
……
"Brother Mao, here, here."
Not far from the filming location of "Green Snake", in a van, a young man wearing a khaki sun hat pulled his sleeping companion next to him.
The companion was originally asleep, but when he heard the sound, he quickly got up and quickly held the camera in his hand.
On the other side of the road, a minibus slowly drove towards the courtyard where Xiaoqing and the others lived, and the two had been following the crew of "Green Snake" all this time, so they could see at a glance that this was Zhou Yan's car.
Zhou Yan's car is very easy to recognize, everyone else is a car, and every time he comes, he takes a minibus.
The minibus stopped at the gate of the courtyard, and Zhou Yan took his younger brothers and sisters to get out of the minibus, and then went straight into the courtyard.
The two entertainers watched it for a long time, but they didn't press the shutter, every day is the same, nothing new.
What they want to see most is that Zhou Yan can appear at the same time as Zhang Manyu.
The news popularity of Zhang Manyu writing love letters has not completely subsided before, if you can take a photo of Zhou Yan alone with Zhang Manyu at this time, you can write a wonderful news.
"Alas, it's the same again, Brother Mao, should we go after other news, there's no potential to be tapped here."
Ah Mao glanced at his companion, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, "Fat boy, do our business, like the snipers in the army, the first thing is patience, if you don't have patience, you won't be able to shoot any news." ”
The fat boy pouted, of course he knew that he needed to be patient in this business, but if the direction was wrong, it was useless to be patient.
This courtyard is separated by several walls, and they don't know anything about the situation inside, even if Zhang Manyu really has something to do with Zhou Yan, she won't be stupid enough to take pictures at the door.
The two of them had thought about climbing the wall to take a look, but the wall was really hard to climb, and if they climbed over, they would be discovered, and there were a bunch of people inside.
The fat boy glanced at Ah Mao, and then looked down at the camera in his hand, they haven't run out of film in the past two days, isn't this a shame for Yu Ji?
But there is no way, Ah Mao is the leader of their group, and all actions in the group must be listened to Ah Mao.
After another half hour, just when the fat boy was groggy and about to fall asleep, two black cars came on the other side of the road.
"Brother Mao, here are two more cars." Fat Boy exclaimed in surprise.
Ah Mao opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the car, and then immediately sat up.
"It's Anita Mui's car!"
"Really?"
The fat boy looked surprised, so far away, he could recognize it as Anita Mui's car at a glance?
But soon, Mao's words were verified.
The car stopped at the gate of the garden, and a woman got out of the back seat, although the woman was wearing sunglasses, she could still recognize it as Anita Mui at a glance.
"Sure enough, it's Anita Mui." The fat boy exclaimed, the team leader is really the team leader, and he can remember this.
The two hurriedly picked up the camera and took a burst of hard shots, although the celebrity visit is not a hot news, but Anita Mui's popularity is enough for them to write a piece of news, at least there is no squatting in vain today.
And Anita Mui broke a big news some time ago, she has not appeared in Xiangjiang recently, I heard that she went out to hide, and today may be the first time she has appeared in Xiangjiang.
But what they didn't expect was that happiness was still to come.
Anita Mui didn't rush into the yard after getting out of the car, but stood in place and waited for a car behind.
Soon the car behind arrived, and a man in the back seat, also wearing sunglasses, stepped out.
"Zhang Guorong!"
The fat boy called out first, and then kept pressing the shutter.
Obediently, today not only touched the fish, but also two big.
……
Zhang Guorong and Anita Mui didn't know that someone was filming them, even if they knew, it didn't matter, they traveled every day, and it was too normal to be photographed, and it was nothing to be photographed at this time, wasn't it just a friend's crew to visit a class?
After a few simple words, Zhang Guorong and Anita Mui walked towards the courtyard together.
Their assistant followed behind, carrying a bunch of things in his hands, small gifts for the crew, all of which were food and drink.
After entering the courtyard, the crew came to greet him.
"Director Xu, are they filming?" Anita Mui asked.
"I'm resting, I'll take you there."
Then the staff took the two people inside.
Today's filming is the scene between Wang Zuxian and Zhang Manyu, and this is the time for filming, and Tsui Hark is holding a small meeting for the two of them.
As soon as Anita Mui and the others passed, the staff at the scene greeted them one after another, and both of them responded one by one, many of the staff members of this crew had known each other before.
Tsui Hark and the others also turned their heads when they heard the voice.
"Amei, Guorong, you are here."
The two of them had already called Tsui Hark to communicate with him yesterday, so he was not surprised to see them.
Zhou Yan is also next to him, and there is no role for him today, so he is watching from the side.
When he saw the two of them, he smiled and nodded to them.
Tsui Hark simply put down the matter at hand and beckoned Zhang Manyu and Wang Zuxian to come over together.
There is no need to introduce each other, although Wang Zuxian and Zhang Manyu were not familiar with each other before, but the two have personal relationships with Anita Mui and Zhang Guorong.
Not to mention Zhou Yan, he has cooperation with each of them.
This time, Anita Mui and Zhang Guorong came to visit "Green Snake", in fact, it was mainly because of Zhou Yan's relationship, the last time Zhou Yan came to Xiangjiang to do publicity, Anita Mui originally said that she was going to join the party, but it didn't happen.
In addition, Anita Mui came to Zhou Yan for something else.
Several people got together and chatted for a while, and Anita Mui smiled, "It's a pity that Ayan has no role today, I really want to see you filming." ”
Zhang Manyu said with a smile, "Amei, you have to watch it, you should come when the third brother is filming the first scene, it will be more interesting." ”
Hearing Zhang Manyu's title, Anita Mui and Zhang Guorong were a little surprised.
"Maggie, why do you call him Third Brother?" Anita Mui asked.
Obviously, Zhang Manyu is several years older than Zhou Yan.
"I learned from Xiaoxian." Zhang Manyu said with a smile.
The two looked at Wang Zuxian again, and the latter explained with a smile, "I learned from Xiao Jiu and them, oh, Xiao Jiu is the third brother's sister." ”
Since the last time he called Zhou Yan's third brother, Wang Zuxian has not changed his name, and he is also called this in the crew.
She screamed like this, and others followed suit, and now several main actors in the crew are basically called Zhou Yan's third brother, and the staff are basically the same, except for Tsui Hark, no matter whether they are older or younger than Zhou Yan, they are also called third brother.
Hearing their explanation, Zhang Guorong pursed his lips, "Xiaoxian, you want to call out a 'third brother' again." ”
There is an allusion to what he said, and now many people in the outside world call Zhang Guorong "brother", and "brother" has almost become Zhang Guorong's exclusive nickname.
And this "brother" is from Wang Zuxian, when they filmed "A Chinese Ghost Story" together, Wang Zuxian always called Brother Zhang Guorong in the crew, and called and called others to follow.
Anita Mui quipped, "You are the elder brother, and Ayan is the third brother, I always feel that you are buddies." ”
She said that the buddy also brought a child's pronunciation, but it was not very authentic, and it sounded quite strange, but it was also quite interesting. After many people go to Yanjing, they will learn the local children's pronunciation, but they can't learn it, Anita Mui, this is not bad, some people's words are not in the place, buddies can be said to be buddies.
"I feel that the third brother is a little more imposing." Zhang Guorong smiled, and then asked Zhou Yan, "What was the first scene that Director Zhou filmed here?" ”
When he asked, Zhou Yan was a little embarrassed, and Tsui Hark next to him said with a smile, "This is a top secret of the crew, and it is difficult to reveal." ”
Zhang Guorong knew that Tsui Hark was joking, but they didn't continue to ask.
After chatting for a while, Tsui Hark wanted to continue filming with Wang Zuxian and them, so he said to Zhou Yan, "Director Zhou, you can help me entertain Ah Mei and Guorong." ”
Zhou Yan smiled, "No problem, Director Xu, you can get busy." ”
After Tsui Hark and the others went to film, the three of them watched from the side for a while, and Anita Mui suddenly approached Zhou Yan and said, "Ayan, let's find a place to sit." ”
Zhou Yan glanced at Anita Mui with some surprise, it seems that she came here today not only to visit the class, but also to have other things.
"Okay, I'll take you to the rest room."
The crew does not have a special rest room, and everyone usually rests in the dressing room and fitting room, but Zhou Jiajun is in the dressing room at this time, so Zhou Yan took them to the dressing room.
When he arrived at the place, Zhou Yan casually dragged three stools, one for each person.
After sitting down, Zhou Yan asked with a smile, "Is there something wrong with Sister Amei?" ”
Anita Mui said with a smile, "I'm here to invite you to sing." ”
"Invite a song?" Zhou Yan was a little puzzled, what song did Anita Mui invite at this time, and she was looking for him.
It was also a coincidence that they could collaborate on "If Love Has Providence", it was originally just a soundtrack, and Zhou Yan had never written a song for anyone before, so it stands to reason that Anita Mui would not ask him to invite him to sing.
"Well, invite the song." Anita Mui nodded, "In my new album, there is still one song missing, and the existing ones, I pick and choose, and I don't feel good." ”
In fact, the songs in Anita Mui's new album have been set before, but since putting "If Love Has Providence" into it, Anita Mui always feels that there is one song that was originally set in it that is not very satisfied.
Some time ago, the company was also helping her find songs, and she found several songs, and some even went into the studio to record them, but she still didn't feel satisfied.
She didn't want to settle if she wasn't satisfied, so she kept looking for it.
At this time, it was just in time for the record "Piano Boy" to come out.
Anita Mui listened to "Piano Boy" all over again, and then stared at the song "Forever Together" in it, she tried to hum it herself, and then the more she hummed, the more she felt that it was flavorful, and the more she hummed, the more she felt that the melody was on top.
Like watching "If Love Has Providence" before, she feels that this soundtrack can be made into a song.
Zhou Yan didn't know Anita Mui's thoughts, and thought that she was going to write a new song for her, so she asked curiously, "Sister Amei, why did you think of inviting me to sing, except for "If Love Has Heaven's Will", ......"
Before he finished speaking, Anita Mui said with a smile, "I invited a new song, but it's actually an old song, two days ago I bought a record of "Piano Boy" and went back, and the song "Always Together" in it moved me very much, so I was wondering if I could make it into a song." I also want to ask your opinion today, see if you are willing. ”
After hearing this, Zhou Yan immediately understood, and at the same time secretly praised Anita Mui's vision, this song was originally a song, and it is very simple to make a song, just like "If Love Has Providence", just fill in the words.
Zhou Yan didn't directly say yes or no, but asked Anita Mui, "Your album is about to be released, will it be a little late to make a new song now?" ”
Anita Mui smiled and waved her hand, "No, the album will be released in November, and there are still three months to go, which is completely enough." ”
"Or do you want to make it Cantonese?" Zhou Yan asked again.
Anita Mui nodded, "Well, it's still Cantonese." ”
Zhou Yan was a little hesitant, he had already seen the Cantonese lyrics of "If Love Has Heaven's Will", to be honest, he felt average, but he didn't know much about Cantonese, and he couldn't give any advice.
If it was Mandarin, even if he didn't write it himself, he would definitely give his opinion.
In this regard, Zhou Yan does not care at all about whether it will hurt the lyricist's heart, he still believes that the lyricist should follow the composer's opinion.
As soon as she saw Zhou Yan hesitating, Anita Mui knew what he was thinking about, so she said with a smile, "In terms of words, Ayan, you don't have to worry, I will definitely find the best lyricist to write it." Moreover, I also plan to make "If Love Has Providence" and "Always Together" into Chinese versions in the future, or wait for a few more songs to make a Chinese album. ”
Anita Mui knew that Zhou Yan cared about this, so she said so, and she really moved Zhou Yan a little when she said this.
After pondering for a while, Zhou Yan nodded and said, "I think you can try it, the song "Always Together" is indeed suitable for making a song. ”
Seeing Zhou Yan nodded, the smile on Anita Mui's face became more, "As long as you are interested, I will let the company connect with Tomson when I go back, and you don't have to worry about the rest." ”
Zhou Yan nodded again, "No problem, I will let my agent Zhang Youan dock with Huaxing, in fact, Sister Amei, you don't have to go out of your way to make this trip, if you want to use a tune, just call and say it." ”
Anita Mui laughed, "This is not good, I must show you enough respect...... And I didn't go last time when I said I was going to cheer you on, so I have a lot of apologies in my heart. In fact, when you first came to Xiangjiang this time, I thought about coming to you, but some things were delayed, so it was delayed until now. ”
Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows, he actually knew what Anita Mui was talking about.
In April and May, a "club member" in Xiangjiang was celebrating his birthday in a nightclub, and he happened to meet Anita Mui, so he wanted Anita Mui to sing him a song, but Anita Mui didn't agree.
The club member felt that he had been disgraced, so he directly slapped Anita Mui in public, and surrounded Anita Mui and others to prevent them from leaving.
Later, it was Anita Mui who found a relationship with Hua Qi through Chen Lan, and she was able to get out.
But the next day, someone slashed the member of the community and seriously injured him, and the member of the community was shot dead while he was in the hospital.
After this happened, Anita Mui naturally became the focus of the incident, and she went abroad to avoid the limelight, and she just came back.
The matter must have something to do with Anita Mui, but whether it is like the news report, Zhou Yan is not clear, and he is not good to ask Anita Mui about this kind of thing.
In fact, Zhou Yan is usually on the Xiangjiang side, and he is also a little careful when he goes out, the relationship between their Zhou family is mainly in Jinling and Pengcheng, if something really happens on the Xiangjiang side, the Zhou family may not have Anita Mui.
In fact, not only Zhou Yan was careful, but even Zhou Hong was more vigilant, when the younger brothers and sisters of the Zhou family went to Yanjing before, Zhou Hong did not arrange for someone to be around.
But this time it was different, not only did they leave the car, but also sent a driver, who was not only responsible for driving, but also responsible for their safety.
After the matter of inviting the song was settled, the three of them chatted for a while, and Zhou Yan sent them out.
When she arrived at the door, Anita Mui turned her head and smiled, "Ayan, go back, and when the matter of "Forever Together" is finally decided, I will come to you to have a good chat." ”
"Okay, then I'll wait for you." Zhou Yan smiled and said to Zhang Guorong again, "Brother Guorong, when you're fine, come and visit the door." ”
Zhang Guorong smiled and nodded, "Okay." ”
He has been relatively idle recently, "Farewell My Concubine" has just finished filming, and the next drama "Happy Affair in the Flower Field" will not start filming until October.
And he has said goodbye to the music world, unlike Anita Mui, who not only has to film, but also has to be busy with albums.
During this time, there were actually a lot of jobs looking for him, but after he finished filming "Farewell My Concubine", he was really tired, so he didn't want to take any work.
After the car of the two started, Zhou Yan waved his hand again, and then returned to the courtyard.
At this time, Ah Mao and Fat Boy also put away their cameras with satisfaction, and with these photos, they can be regarded as returning with a full load today.
Fat Boy said while sorting out the camera, "Zhou Yan seems to be very familiar with Anita Mui and Zhang Guorong. ”
"Of course Zhou Yan and Zhang Guorong are very familiar, don't you know, Zhou Yan is one of the soundtrack directors of "Farewell My Concubine", and Zhang Guorong is the leading actor of the movie, and he has been in Yanjing for more than half a year, they must meet often."
Since he wants to catch the news of Zhou Yan and Zhang Manyu, Lao Yu Ji Ah Mao must of course be fully prepared, he has already learned about Zhou Yan's resume in advance.
The more he understands, the more Ah Mao thinks that Zhou Yan is worth tracking, this guy is directing, acting and matching, in less than two years, he has been mixed like this, and he is destined to be starry in the future.
"What about Anita Mui?" Fat Boy asked.
Ah Mao pursed his lips and guessed, "Maybe it's because of Zhang Guorong's relationship." ”
In fact, Ah Mao himself didn't believe this speculation, because looking at what the three of them were talking just now, Zhou Yan and Anita Mui seemed to be more familiar with each other than with Zhang Guorong, and it was not like they knew each other because of Zhang Guorong at all.
"Could it be because they have some cooperation behind them?"
Ah Mao shook his head, he learned about Anita Mui's whereabouts, Anita Mui should shoot "Three Heroes of the East" and "Jigong" later, I didn't hear that Zhou Yan was going to participate in these two movies.
"Zhou Yan is engaged in music, will they cooperate in music?" Fat Boy guessed again.
Ah Mao still shook his head, "Zhou Yan only makes soundtracks, and doesn't write songs, what kind of cooperation can there be, don't guess, go back and sort out the photos, and hurry up to get a manuscript out." ”
"How to write this issue, do you want to make a fuss about their relationship with Zhou Yan?"
"What's the point of view, the title says Anita Mui went abroad to avoid the limelight for a few months, and immediately met Tsui Hark when she returned."
The fat boy gave a thumbs up and said sincerely, "Gao, Brother Mao." ”
"Learn a little."
……
In the evening of the same day, Zhang Youan received a call from Hua Xing to talk to him about "Always Together".
Last time, when I talked about "If Love Has Providence", because Anita Mui likes the song very much, Zhang Youan's posture was very high, and the conditions for fighting in the end were also very good.
This time, not only Anita Mui likes the song "Always Together", but Zhou Yan's own coffee position is also very different from before, so Zhang Youan's posture will only be higher.
In fact, Zhou Yan doesn't eat the bowl of rice of writing songs now, so in the negotiation process, Zhang Youan has a mental advantage.
Lin Kelun, who Huaxing was in charge of talking to Zhang Youan, also knew the situation, so he was full of sincerity from the beginning, not only giving the bottom reward, but also sharing nothing, which was much better than the conditions of the last "If Love Has Providence".
Since the start was very good, Zhang Youan was not aggressive, and after discussing a general condition, it was negotiated.
The guaranteed remuneration is only 10,000 yuan, but the share is 2%, which is already a very good condition for the current Xiangjiang market, mainly because they hold a lot of copyrights in their hands.
This share is not only the share of record revenue, but also the other commercialization of follow-up songs, which all need to pay two percentage points for Zhou Yan.
In fact, the record share is not much money, even if a record sells for millions, two points will not get much money, because a record does not have only one song.
If it is ten songs, it means that Zhou Yan can get two thousandths of all the record income with this song, and he can only get 20,000 yuan with 10 million income.
But the follow-up commercial income is endless, and if anyone sings this song on a TV show, they will have to give Zhou Yan money, and the money given at one time is not much, ten times, hundreds of times, and thousands of times...... As long as the song is well-sung, Zhou Yan will continue to get money.
And even if the record company does any compilation in the future, it still has to give Zhou Yan money, and the main thing is to trickle the water.
After negotiating this business, Zhang Youan also opened his mind, Zhou Yan can not only score movies, but also sell songs.
He also deliberately listened to the record "Piano Boy" several times, trying to find other tunes suitable for making songs, but after listening to it, he regretted that in addition to "Always Together", other tunes are not suitable for making songs.
As for asking Zhou Yan to write a song for someone, Zhang Youan also thought about it, but after thinking about it, he still dispelled this idea, and when he had the opportunity, he just sold tunes and made songs, and there was no need to deliberately go to the pop music market to be compatible.
After negotiating with Huaxing, Zhang Youan told Zhou Yan about it, and after hearing it, Zhou Yan didn't react much, only said "It's good to talk about it", and he didn't seem to be particularly interested in this cooperation.
He had just been on the phone with Zhou Yan and received another phone call.
This call was from Yanjing, and as soon as the phone was connected, the other party reported home, "Hello Comrade Zhang Youan, I am Liang Yu from the Yanjing Olympic Bidding Committee." ”
Hearing that it was the Olympic Bidding Committee, Zhang Youan raised his eyebrows and replied, "Hello Comrade Liang Yu, do you have anything to do with me?" ”
Liang Yu said with a smile, "That's the case, I want to find Zhou Yan, but I can't contact him now, so I called Tomson Company, and then gave me your number over there." ”
"Zhou Yan is now filming "Green Snake" here in Xiangjiang." Zhang Youan smiled and asked again, "It's convenient to ask, do you have anything to do with him?" If it's work-related, you can start by telling me that I'm his agent. ”
"Okay, I'll tell you about the situation, now our Olympic Bidding Committee has decided to make two promotional videos for the Olympic bid, and I want to ask Zhou Yan to be the soundtrack director of the promotional films. In fact, I had already talked to Zhou Yan about this matter once, but it was not confirmed whether the promotional film was filmed at that time, so it was shelved. ”
Zhang Youan was a little surprised, he hadn't heard Zhou Yan mention this yet, but this was understandable, after all, this project had not been determined before, and Zhou Yan's character would definitely not take the initiative to say it.
"So, is the project finalized now?" Zhang Youan asked.
"Well, it's already confirmed." Liang Yu said.
"Have you found a director for the promotional video?"
"Yes, the director has been decided, it is Mr. Greenspan, a famous American sports documentary filmmaker."
Hearing that the director was from abroad, Zhang Youan frowned slightly, and asked again, "Do you want to communicate with this director Greenspan about the soundtrack director?" ”
Liang Yu smiled, "Don't worry, we have already communicated with director Greenspan, his promotional film will involve traditional elements such as the Forbidden City, and he himself is full of praise for the soundtrack of "The Forbidden City: Memory". ”
Hearing Liang Yu say this, Zhang You'an put his mind at ease, he was worried that the contact here would be good, and it would be a bad thing for foreign directors to be unwilling to cooperate with Zhou Yan when he turned around.
Zhang Youan knows some foreign hairs very well, looking down on this, looking down on that, psychologically superior, and it is not surprising that he is unwilling to cooperate with domestic soundtrack artists.
"Okay, I'll talk to Zhou Yan about this and get back to you, how about it?"
Liang Yu on the other end of the phone pondered for a moment and said, "How long will it take to reply?" ”
"The day after tomorrow at the latest."
Hearing this, Liang Yu said, "Okay, then I'll wait for your good news." ”
……
After hanging up Liang Yu's phone, Zhang Youan originally wanted to call Zhou Yan again, but he just picked up the phone and put it down, got up and went out directly.
Half an hour later, Zhang Youan knocked on Zhou Yan's door.
Zhou Yan was holding a tea party with a few younger brothers and sisters, chatting about Chinese history, when he heard a knock on the door, Lao Jiu volunteered to open the door.
"Don't worry, Qing'er, ask who it is first."
Lao Jiu nodded, and when he arrived at the door, he asked, "Who is outside the door, report your name?" ”
Hearing Lao Jiu's voice, Zhang Youan smiled outside the door, "In the next Zhang You'an, meet the Ninth Princess." ”
These words made Lao Jiu giggle in amusement.
"The princess will open the door for you."
After Zhang You'an came in, Lao Jiu raised his head and asked him, "Uncle Zhang, why are you here?" ”
Zhang Youan smiled, "I'm here to talk to your third brother about work." ”
As soon as he heard that Zhang Youan was going to talk to the third brother about work, Lao Jiu directly changed his face and went out with a roll of his eyes, the boss was unhappy, and the other younger brothers and sisters were similar, this tea party was on the rise, and Zhang Youan came to interrupt.
But if she is unhappy, she is not happy, Zhou Qian still got up and said, "The third brother wants to talk about work, let's go back to the house first." ”
Zhou Yan smiled, "Okay, you go back first, and when the conversation is over, I'll call you later." ”
Lao Jiu smiled again, "Third brother, you must call us." ”
"Don't worry."
After the younger brothers and sisters left, Zhang Youan smiled and said, "I'm afraid the ninth princess is going to hate me to death." ”
"Be careful, this girl holds a grudge." Zhou Yan smiled and asked strangely, "Didn't you just come on the phone not long ago, why did you come here again, and what can't you say on the phone?" ”
In July and August, the weather was hot, Zhang Youan came all the way, he was sweating, he blew on the air conditioner, and then replied, "Liang Yu from the Olympic Bidding Committee called just now, saying that he wanted to ask you to score the promotional video for the Olympic bid." ”
Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Yes, this matter has already been decided?" ”
Zhang Youan nodded, "Well, Liang Yu said that the project has been confirmed to start, and the director has been found." ”
"Who's the director?" Zhou Yan asked, he was more concerned about this before.
"An American director named Greenspan."
"Greenspan?"
Zhou Yan frowned and thought about it, he had no impression of this director at all.
"I haven't heard of this person either, Liang Yu said that he is a well-known sports documentary director."
Sports Documentary Filmmaker...... It's no wonder that Zhou Yan doesn't know much about this part.
Zhou Yan nodded, "Liang Yu talked to me about this matter before, and I thought there would be no news until next year." What does Liang Yu say now, can he set me to score the soundtrack, or does he need to campaign or something? ”
He said it was decided, Greenspan had seen "Forbidden City: Memory" and was full of praise for the soundtrack in it. I told Liang Yu to reply to him the day after tomorrow at the latest, what do you think here? ”
Zhou Yan smiled, "What else can I think, I can definitely accept it." Moreover, the Olympic Bidding Committee directly said that it would be decided, which is equivalent to giving the task to the organization, and I will definitely follow it. ”
In fact, it's okay if he doesn't pick it up, and it's impossible for the Olympic Bidding Committee to hold his head and ask him to take it, but this kind of thing, whoever doesn't pick it up is a fool.
"In that case, then call Liang Yu back tomorrow morning and tell him about it, and in addition, ask him if there is any theme in this promotional video, and you can also prepare in advance. I listened to him, I should still want to use the music in "The Forbidden City: Memory". ”
Zhou Yan nodded, "If there is a suitable place, you can naturally take it, but for the time being, I don't know what this Greenspan is, and I still have to talk to the director to get to the bottom." ”
"Then when I talk to Liang Yu on the phone tomorrow, I will also explore the background of this Greenspan." Speaking of this, Zhang Youan sighed slightly, "Actually, I think it's better to find domestic directors for this kind of promotional film, because domestic directors know more about the situation in their own countries." ”
Zhou Yan smiled, "I guess there are also overall considerations, since this Greenspan is a well-known sports documentary director in the United States, maybe he can help us win some votes, and it is even more gimmicky to use such a director." ”
"That's right."
Zhang Youan also knew that what Zhou Yan said was reasonable, he mainly considered that foreign directors would have problems when cooperating with Zhou Yan, which would affect Zhou Yan's soundtrack effect at that time, and if it was a domestic director, there would be no worries about this.
"Anyway, this is a good opportunity, and if you do this well, you will have more resources in the country in the future. It's a pity that your qualifications are still a little shallow now, otherwise, I would like to fight for you and let you make a promotional video. ”
Zhou Yan smiled, this was pure pipe dream.
Even if the Olympic Bidding Committee wants to use a domestic director to direct this Olympic bid promotional film, it will not be his turn to be a rookie director, let alone him, even Zhang Yimou and their group of five generations of directors will not be able to get a chance.
The fourth generation of directors is in the prime of life, and the fifth generation of directors can only be regarded as just beginning.
At the end of last year, the "First Cross-Strait and Xiangjiang Film Directors Seminar" was held on the Xiangjiang side, and the five generations of directors at that time only helped carry things before and after running on the scene.
Therefore, if you really want to choose among the domestic directors, I am afraid that this errand will most likely fall on the heads of the more famous directors of the four generations.
"Don't think about it, let's just do our job."
Of course, Zhang Youan knew that this was impossible, so he said it casually.
"In fact, I was very surprised to get the soundtrack of the promotional film, I have to say that the film "Forbidden City: Memory" participated in it well, if it weren't for this film, it wouldn't be your turn to do this job."
Zhou Yan smiled and nodded, "Yes, good luck." ”
Then the two chatted for a while, Zhang Youan didn't stay long, he also knew that Lao Jiu and they should still be waiting for their third brother to summon at this time.
After Zhang Youan left, Zhou Yan went to call his younger brothers and sisters back and continued the previous tea party.
During this time, as long as Zhou Yan has free time, he will chat or play games with them.
I have to say that when I come out to work, I am really happy to have a group of younger brothers and sisters with me.
On the phone with Zhou Hong in the past few days, Zhou Hong is also very envious, he is too busy with work, and it is impossible for him to take Zhou Jiajun with him when he is working.
Unlike Zhou Yan, when he goes to the crew to film, he doesn't have to worry about his younger brothers and sisters affecting his work, they are not noisy or noisy, and they often help, and the crew naturally likes them.
Two days ago, during the filming of the scene where Xu Xian was teaching, Zhou Yuan was also photographed by Tsui Hark and asked him to play a student, which can be regarded as an addiction to tricks.
He was addicted to the drama alone, which also caused a few other people to itch, but this is not without opportunities, and when he wants to use a lot of group performances in the future, he can arrange them all.
Tsui Hark is also willing to let them make cameos, anyway, it's all a trick, and the key is not to charge money.
Of course, Zhou Yan and they don't collect money, but Tsui Hark still took the initiative to give Zhou Yuan a small red envelope, although the money is not much, but it is also a meaning.
Zhou Yuan also carefully packed the red envelopes, and he attached great importance to his first and possibly only salary.
