Zhou Yan was still thinking about who acted so fast and signed Chen Hong, but he didn't expect that it was an oolong, and Chen Hong treated Xu Junrong as a liar.

"Why do you think he's a liar?" Zhou Yan asked.

"Because his Mandarin flavor is too strong, and he came up and told me that their company is ready to sign well-known actors such as Zhang Guorong and Gong Li, which sounds a bit fake."

Zhou Yan pulled the corners of his mouth, good guy, is this Xu Junrong so wild, he really deceives Chen Hong as an ignorant little girl.

Chen Hong is also quite face-saving, only saying that it is a bit fake, and this thing is fake.

Zhou never thought about signing Gong Li and Leslie Cheung, and if he wanted to sign a well-known actor, Zhou Yan was more interested in Leung Jiahui, and he didn't have any other ideas.

Like Zhang Guorong, Zhou can't sign it, and if he insists on signing it, the price will be too great.

"Manager Xu is more ambitious." Zhou Yan helped explain.

Chen Hong said with a smile, "I thought he was lying before, but now that I know that this company belongs to yours, I think what he said is still possible." ”

Zhou Yan glanced at the smile on Chen Hong's face with his spare eyes, and also sighed secretly, sure enough, a good-looking person has an advantage, such an obvious compliment, with Chen Hong's beautiful face, it is difficult to dislike.

"Zhou has no plans to sign a first-line actress for the time being." Zhou Yan said again.

Chen Hong's eyelashes fluttered, "Are you telling me that if I go to the Zhou family, will I get a focus on development?" ”

Zhou Yan nodded, "You can also understand it that way." ”

"Then I signed Zhou's, can I play your play?"

"The filming of "The Sixth Sense" has not yet been completed, and I have no new plans for the time being, but there is a script that suits you, and I will let you do it. In fact, you don't have to stare at my play, if you sign a contract, the company will help you contact the script. ”

"In addition to helping me choose a script, what else will the company help me?"

"I'm wrong about what you asked, if you're interested, I'll ask Xu Junrong to contact you."

"The same person who contacted me last time?"

"Hmm."

Chen Hong nodded, "Let's talk about it." ”

……

After sending Chen Hong home, Zhou Yan drove to school again, and the orchestra was rehearsing this afternoon.

During the summer vacation, there were relatively few people at the school, and neither the piano room nor the concert hall were used, so the orchestra could come and rehearse almost every day.

When Zhou Yan arrived at the place, they were rehearsing "Eternal Night".

Unlike other pieces, "Eternal Night" is very difficult, and the little rehearsal time is not effective at all, so they rehearse this piece the most frequently.

Because the Oriental Legacy Concert will be held later, the orchestra now has a lot of folk music musicians, although the rehearsal of the pieces and folk music involved in less today, but these folk music students have also come to the concert hall.

In the summer, they don't have much to do, and they make the concert hall their home every day.

To Zhou Yan's surprise, Wang Feng, Long Long and Zhao Muyang were also sitting below.

Zhou Yan walked over and chatted with them for a few words, only to know that they would come over every other day during this time, although they didn't say it, but Zhou Yan knew that they should be here for Xu Junrong.

In the past two days, Xu Junrong has been busy with the signing of the orchestra, and he should be able to free up his hands to negotiate the signing with Wang Feng and them.

Zhou Yan came over now, and he was also thinking about whether he could meet Xu Junrong, and by the way, he told him about Chen Hong, but he didn't see Xu Junrong.

It wasn't until Zhou Yan was about to go home that Xu Junrong came over.

Seeing Zhou Yan, Xu Junrong was also quite surprised, "Mr. Zhou, why are you here?" ”

Zhou Yan smiled, "This is my school, and all the people on it are my classmates and students, why do you say I came?" ”

"I thought you were looking for me."

"By the way, I also looked for you, Chen Hong who asked you to contact last time, do you remember?"

Xu Junrong nodded, "Of course I remember, she said that he had signed the company and hung up my phone directly." ”

"She didn't sign the company, there was a bit of a misunderstanding in the middle, find time for you to contact her again and talk about signing a contract."

"Well, I know, then when I finalize Wang Feng's affairs with them, I'll go to Chen Hong. Or do you call her on the same number? ”

"Yes." Zhou Yan looked back at Wang Feng and them: "When will you talk to Wang Feng and them?" ”

"I came here today to talk to them, do you want to come along, Mr. Zhou?"

Zhou Yan shook his head, "You can talk to them yourself, I won't get involved, and don't call me Mr. Zhou in the future, I don't get used to listening to it, and you are easy to call me and my brother confused." ”

"And what should I call you?"

"Call me Zhou Yan, or Instructor Zhou, Teacher Zhou, it's okay."

"Then I'll call you Teacher Zhou."

"Okay." Zhou Yan nodded, "Wang Feng's matter with their band, you can watch and talk, just tell me when there is a result." Chen Hong is the same, tell me when there is a result. ”

"Understood, Mr. Zhou."

"You're busy, I'll go back first."

Halfway through, Zhou Yan's pager received a message from Zhang Youan, and he didn't let him call back, saying that "Piano Boy" had been released in Europe.

Zhang Youan told him a few days ago that it was not important news, it was a plan that had been arranged a long time ago.

Although the box office performance of "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" in Europe is average, there are still many countries where it is released, in addition to Britain, Germany, Italy and France, Spain, the Netherlands and other countries have also been released one after another.

……

Gilbert had just had lunch when his good friend Robin called him.

"Good afternoon, Robin."

No one spoke on the other end of the phone, except for the sound of sad music.

"Robin?" Gilbert shouted again.

At this point, Robin said across from him, "Haven't you heard this tune?" ”

"Nope."

"This seems to be the work of the Chinese musician you talked about last time."

"Really?" Gilbert was surprised, "Where did you hear this song?" ”

"I bought the CD in the video store, and the author's name sounds very similar to the one you said last time, and he is also a Chinese musician, so I bought it because of this."

"What's this CD called?"

"Piano boy, have you heard of it?"

"Nope."

Gilbert on the other end of the line shook his head, he had only heard Mystic Realm.

He and his wife Maria stayed in China for two weeks, the itinerary was quite full, most of the time was in the attractions, although "Mystery Country" was very good, but they didn't bother to inquire about the author, and they didn't know that Zhou Yan had other music albums.

At one of the attractions, they had talked to others about Zhou Yan, but unfortunately, not everyone in China knew Zhou Yan.

When he returned, Gilbert shared with his good friend Robin the good music he heard in China.

"Where did you buy it?" Gilbert asked again.

"It's the shop called a kitten, are you going to buy it?"

"Well, I want to see if this author is Zhou Yan."

"How can you know if it's Zhou Yan?"

"Uh......"

Robin's words stopped Gilbert at once, yes, even if he went to the video store, how would he know if the author of "Piano Boy" was Zhou Yan?

Gilbert thought for a moment and asked, "Isn't there an introduction to the author in the album?" ”

"I think there is, I'll take a look at the box."

There was a sound of rummaging things on the other side, Gilbert couldn't help but shake his head, Robin is really confused, the CD has just been bought, and the box can't be found.

After a while, Robin finally found the box, "I'll take a look...... Zhou Yan, a well-known Chinese musician and director, "Piano Boy" is his first music album, which includes the soundtrack of movies such as "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly", "Sanmao in the Army", "Heaven's Reply", among them, "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" is also Zhou Yan's first film, and the short film version of this film has won the Special Jury Prize at the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival...... Zhou Yan's second album "Mystic Country" was a great success as soon as it was interviewed......"

"Wait, did you just read Mystic Realm?"

"Oh, it seems like the last CD you gave me was called Mystic Realm?"

Gilbert stroked his palm and said, "That's right, this author is Zhou Yan, I didn't expect him to have other music albums, and they have also been released by us." ”

"I've listened to it once, and it's very good, but the style is very different from Mystery."

"You ...... again"

Gilbert wanted Robin to show him a few more, but he thought about it and forgot it, "I'll go buy one myself." ”

Listening on the phone is not only a waste of phone bills, but also the effect is much worse, the music is transmitted through the phone line, it is distorted, and the experience is not too good.

After saying that, without waiting for Robin to respond, Gilbert hung up the phone, then picked up his wallet and walked out with the CD player.

Mary asked him, "Are you going out?" ”

"Well, I'm going to buy a music album and I'll be back in a moment."

"Oh."

Out of the house, Gilbert got on his bike and headed for the video store Robin had spoken of.

In the afternoon, there were quite a lot of people in the video store, and Gilbert saw what he was looking for on the new shelves in the front row.

Picking up a copy of "Piano Boy" from the shelf, Gilbert walked to the cash register, "Hello, check out." ”

Seeing Gilbert enter the door in a hurry, he took "Piano Boy" from the new product shelf and came to check out, and the boss was quite curious, "Are you here specifically for this album?" ”

Gilbert nodded, "Yes." ”

"Do you know the author of this album?"

"Hmm."

"But he's a Chinese."

"I traveled to China some time ago, and this author is very famous in China."

The boss laughed, "It seems that the person who supplied the product did not lie to me, he told me that this author is famous in Asia." ”

"It seems like this, when I went to the Great Wall of China, I heard someone playing Zhou Yan's music."

"Is the Great Wall fun?"

"It's very interesting, if you happen to meet someone playing "The Great Wall", it will make you twice as happy."

"What is the Great Wall?"

"It's also Zhou Yan's song."

The boss nodded, "I heard from the supplier that this author's movie is being screened with us during this time, if you are interested, you can go and see it." ”

"Really? Are you talking about "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly"? ”

"Well, that's what the person who supplied the supply told me anyway."

"Thank you."

……

After settling the bill, Gilbert couldn't wait to open the CD, put it into the CD player, and listen to it while riding his bike.

Robin is not wrong at all, Zhou Yan's album is completely different from the style of "Mystery Country".

"Mysterious Country" has a very strong oriental cultural color, whether it is the tune or the orchestration, you can hear the taste of China as soon as you listen to it.

Before today, Gilbert had always thought that Zhou Yan was a musician who specialized in writing music such as "The Great Wall".

But "Piano Boy" gives people a very different feeling, the songs in this album have a more Western feel, and the orchestration used is basically piano and violin.

If listening to "Mystery Country" reminds people of the ancient and magnificent buildings such as the Great Wall and the Forbidden City, then listening to "Piano Boy" makes people feel like they are by some unknown river.

The river runs through the vast grassland, occasionally branched by the roots of the trees sticking out of the bank, and the flowers and trees on the bank are blown by the wind, showing smiling faces......

But the sun will not always shine, and the smiling faces will not always be there, and when there are some songs, the grassland will begin to rain tricklingly, and the raindrops will hit the river, causing a faint sadness.

Brisk, sad, mischievous, melancholy...... Later, they all merged into the small river, flowed towards the farther and wider grasslands, and finally disappeared into the sky.

When Gilbert arrived home, the album had not yet finished, and he could not bear the wonderful feeling of listening to music while riding a bicycle, so he passed by the door of his house and rode into the distance.

It wasn't until the music was over that he turned back.

As soon as he arrived home, Mary asked him, "Why did you pass by the door of the house and leave again, and you ignored me when I called you from behind?" ”

"Did you call me? I was so obsessed with the music. ”

"What music do you listen to, so obsessed?"

"Zhou Yan's new ...... It should be said that it is Zhou Yan's old album. ”

"The author of Mystery?"

"That's right."

"Listen to me too."

"Okay." Gilbert handed the CD player to his wife, "Let's go to the movies together in the evening." ”

Maria fiddled with the CD player and wondered, "Why do you want to go to the movies all of a sudden?" ”

"I heard from the owner of the video store that Zhou Yan's movie "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" was released on our side during this time."

"Isn't Zhou Yan a musician? Still making movies? ”

"Hmm."

"You have to be mentally prepared that he may be very good at music, and the movie is very average."

Gilbert shrugged his shoulders, "At least listen to the music." ”

……

In the evening, the Gilberts came to the cinema, and they bought the one at half past seven.

There are not many screenings of this movie, and many people are not interested in seeing that it was made by Chinese directors, they don't have an opinion on China, but except for a few specific countries, the audience is not interested in the films of other countries.

However, there are some East Asian faces in the hall, probably for this movie.

Gilbert was a familiar man, and after handing over the ticket to Maria, he approached a young man with an East Asian face.

"Hello." Gilbert greeted in Chinese.

The young man was stunned for a moment.

Seeing that the young man was stunned, Gilbert thought that he was not Chinese, and greeted him in neon again, "Seven wows in the mouth." ”

The young man then said in Dutch, "Hello, I'm Chinese." ”

"Hello, hello." Gilbert said hello twice in Mandarin, but his Mandarin level was there, so he said in Dutch, "Are you here to see "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly"?" ”

"yes." The boy nodded, "You too?" ”

"Yes, I like Zhou Yan very much, and I came to watch it when I knew that his movie was released."

"Do you particularly like Zhou Yan?" The boy was surprised.

Zhou Yan's movie has only been released, and the music album has only been released for two days, why does this foreigner like it so much?

"I've been to China before, and when I was in China, I heard his album 'Mystic Country.'"

Hearing that Gilbert had been to China and listened to "Mystery Country", the boy was both happy and very envious, "I haven't even heard "Mystery Country". ”

He came to Amsterdam this spring, before Mystic Realm was released.

The news of this album was told to him by a friend when he called him some time ago, but unfortunately he couldn't buy the album here, and the price was too great if he mailed it.

Looking at the boy's envious expression, Gilbert smiled, "I can listen to you, I also brought the album." ”

When they set off from home, Gilbert originally only brought "Piano Boy", but after thinking about it, they felt that the "Mysterious Country" was brought from China, which was very commemorative, and today they came to see Zhou Yan's movie, so they also brought it.

Seeing Gilbert take out the album from his bag, the boy felt like he was dreaming, and the god album "Mystic Country" that he was thinking about was actually taken out of a Dutchman's bag?

"It's still a signature!"

Seeing the signature on the album, the boy was even more surprised.

Gilbert laughed, "No, this is my name signed by a Chinese friend." ”

"That's not right."

The boy took the album and looked at it carefully, "Although this word is written more sloppily, it is Zhou Yan, but I haven't seen Zhou Yan's signature, I can only be sure that this is Zhou Yan's two words, but I don't know if Zhou Yan himself signed it." ”

Gilbert furrowed his eyebrows, "But, Zhou said that this is his own name. ”

"That medieval friend of yours is also surnamed Zhou?"

"Well, his surname is also Zhou, and he is still a music teacher."

The boy swallowed, "Wouldn't your friend be Zhou Yan...... Is he tall and thin, with fair skin, and very good-looking. ”

"It's not very high."

"It's definitely not too high on the Dutch side, is it higher than me?"

"Probably taller than you."

"Met in Yanjing?"

"I met on the Great Wall."

The more the boy asked, the more excited he became, and then he scratched his ears and cheeks again, not knowing how to determine this matter, after thinking for a while, he suddenly patted his thigh, "By the way, "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" has a picture of Zhou Yan at the end, you will know it when you see it." ”

Seeing the boy so excited, Gilbert was still a little confused.

What do you mean?

The person he met on the Great Wall was Zhou Yan himself?

In retrospect, there is indeed such a possibility, at that time, Zhou and Wang always wore sunglasses and hats, and only took pictures in places where there were few people.

He was also a little excited, if it was really Zhou Yan, then this experience would be too amazing.

"Can I listen to this album?" The boy pointed to "Mystic Realm" and said.

"Of course." Gilbert gave the CD player and album directly to the boy, "I'm going to talk to my wife." ”

Back at his wife's side, Gilbert swallowed his excitement and said, "Maria, do you remember the week we met at the Wall?" ”

"Remember, wasn't that music album he gave you?"

"There's a chance you'll see him today."

"What do you mean?"

Maria's curiosity was aroused, but Gilbert smiled and said nothing.

Maria rolled her eyes, "You do it every time. ”

"Haha, you'll find out soon."

There was still an hour before the opening of the movie, and Gilbert didn't think it would be too difficult for him to listen to both albums, but he brought two music albums, and this hour was not enough for him to listen to both albums once.

But now that he knows that the Zhou he knows may be Zhou Yan, he has a feeling that seconds are like years, and he can't wait to rush into the theater now.

The boy over there was the opposite, he finally heard the album "Mystic Country", and he had only listened to a short part of "The Great Wall of Ten Thousand Miles" on the phone.

If the album is compared to a woman with a veil, then he hasn't even lifted a corner of the woman's veil before.

No wonder this album will be a big hit in Neon, this kind of music style is indeed easy to conquer Neon listeners, many times, Neon people worship traditional Chinese culture more than Chinese themselves.

When the boy finished listening to "Mystery Country", "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly" also began to check in.

Gilbert walked over with a smile, "It's time to check the tickets." ”

The boy returned the album and CD player to Gilbert, "Thank you very much for letting me hear Zhou Yan's new album in a foreign country." ”

"I also want to thank you, it was you who let me know that I met Zhou Yan, and you also made this album more meaningful."

The boy glanced at the ticket gate, "I hope you met Zhou Yan." ”

"I want to, too."

……

When she entered the theater, Maria was still thinking about what her husband had told her before, but after watching the movie, she quickly immersed herself in it.

Although she has been to China, it is the first time she has watched a Chinese movie in a movie theater.

Although it was a show at more than seven o'clock, the attendance rate was not very high, and many of the people who came to see the movie were also Chinese.

Most Dutch people usually pay little attention to Asian movies, so they are still a little unaccustomed to seeing East Asian faces, and Maria may have spent some time in China, and they have seen too many Chinese faces, so they are quite accustomed to watching movies, and they can also watch them.

Maria also wanted to say that musicians come to make a movie, it may not be good, but this movie far exceeds her expectations, the story is very touching, the rhythm is also very good, especially the use of cameras, it does not seem like a layman can make it at all.

And there is a musical addition, which makes the movie more plump, and Zhou Yan, as a musician, makes movies, not only does not expose any shortcomings, but also gives full play to his strengths.

As Gilbert said, even if the movie isn't good, it's nice to listen to the music.

waited until the end of the movie and when everyone began to leave, Gilbert still didn't see Zhou Yan, he looked puzzled, and turned his head to look behind again, trying to find the boy just now.

At that moment, a flute sounded.

Gilbert turned his head to look at the screen, only to see a man standing on the grassland with his back to the audience playing the flute, and the music was melodious and very beautiful.

Suddenly a paraglider appeared in the sky, getting closer and closer, closer and closer.

Seeing that the paraglider was about to hit the man, the man hurriedly threw the flute and ran away, and at this time, Gilbert saw the man's face.

His eyes widened, it was really Zhou Yan!

Maria's eyes widened wider than Gilbert's, and she finally understood why her husband said she would see Zhou, who was here.

There was a burst of laughter from the theater, and Gilbert laughed too, and the rest of the audience laughed because the scene echoed the beginning of the movie and was more funny, but Gilbert's laughter was because of the adventure on the Great Wall that day.

When the eggs were over, Maria asked Gilbert, "Is Zhou Zhou?" ”

Gilbert nodded, "That's right. ”

Maria took a deep breath, "It's amazing. ”

"yes, that's amazing."

When Gilbert walked out of the theater, the boy was waiting outside, and when he saw him, he couldn't wait to ask, "Sir, is that Zhou Yan you know?" ”

Gilbert smiled and nodded, "Yes, that's him." ”

Seeing Gilbert nodding, the boy felt wonderful at the same time, but also envious, this Dutchman was also too lucky, he could meet Zhou Yan on a trip to China, and he could also get Zhou Yan's signed album.

There is one more thing he doesn't know, that is, Gilbert not only has an autographed album, but also Zhou Yan's contact information.

If he had known this, he would have been jealous beyond recognition.

……

Zhou Yan didn't know that his identity had been "recognized" by Gilbert, who was far away in the Netherlands, and he was standing next to Zhao Fei at this moment, looking at Liang Jiahui and Wang Zuxian, who were playing.

Today is Wang Zuxian's last scene, and she and her husband came to the restaurant to eat "together".

The so-called "together" is just what the male protagonist thinks, in fact, the female protagonist is eating alone, she can't see her husband at all, and from beginning to end, she hasn't said a word to her husband.

And this kind of neglect, in the eyes of the male protagonist, is just because his wife is angry with him.

"There is a good chance that he was abused...... Xiaotian has scratches on his arm, I think it was scratched by a fingernail, maybe it was cut when he was defending, and I'm not sure ......"

The male protagonist said to himself, thinking that his wife could hear it, but he was just complaining that he shouldn't contact this kind of patient anymore, so he deliberately ignored him.

Finally, the wife finished the bill, said to the table, "Happy anniversary, and got up and left." ”

Seeing the female protagonist leave, the male protagonist touched his forehead and sighed.

At this time, Zhou Yan shouted, "Card." ”

As soon as this sound card came out, there was applause at the scene, this is Wang Zuxian's last scene, and this sound card represents Wang Zuxian's completion.

Zhou Yan also applauded, "Congratulations." ”

Without Zhou Yan's instructions, the staff had already pushed a small cart over, and a lot of wine was placed on it, red wine, white wine, and champagne.

Zhou Yan sent a bouquet of flowers to Wang Zuxian on behalf of the crew, and when he took the flowers, Wang Zuxian's smiling eyes were bent into two rounds of crescents, this is the second time that Zhou Yan sent flowers to her through the finale, and the last time was when Zhou Yan himself finished "Green Snake".

Wang Zuxian didn't give anyone, so he held the flowers in his arms, and then bent over with everyone at the scene, "Thank you for taking care of you during this time, I am very happy in the crew of "Sixth Sense", and I hope to have the opportunity to continue to cooperate." The crew still has scenes to shoot in the future, and I hope it will always be smooth. ”

After she finished speaking, Zhou Yan took over the conversation, "Everyone has worked hard tonight, Ms. Xiaoxian is very generous, I want to invite you to have supper, the place has been decided, everyone hurry up and pack up and go over together." Tomorrow is a day off, everyone has a good rest. ”

Wang Zuxian's finale is an evening scene, and now it's more than nine o'clock after filming, and if I go for a supper, I'm afraid it will be the second half of the night, so Zhou Yan simply gave them a day off tomorrow.

And the crew hasn't had a dinner party for a long time, so they just took this opportunity to let them eat and drink, and if they have to film tomorrow, they won't have a good time.

Anyway, the filming has been going well recently, and there is no problem with the progress at all.

The supper was arranged by Zhou Yan, and he had already found a place in advance, otherwise, it would be so late, and the hotel would be really difficult to find.

When Zhou Yan and the others arrived at the restaurant, it was just ten o'clock, because they had been served in advance, so they had just sat down and the dishes were served.

After the wine was poured, they all asked Zhou Yan to say a few words, and Zhou Yan said a few simple words, which probably meant that they should eat and drink well tonight, don't think about anything else, recuperate their spirits tomorrow, and devote themselves to work the day after tomorrow.

When he finished, he let them play freely.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Zhou Yan looked at Wang Zuxian next to him, this girl held the flowers all the way, and after arriving at the hotel, she specially made a chair and put the flowers on the chair, for fear that the flowers would be damaged.

"Do you want to bring this flower back to Taiwan Island?"

Wang Zuxian said with a smile, "Go back and raise it in your house, you can help me take care of it." ”

"Then you have found the right person, I raise flowers and call it a diligent one, and the water is basically changed every two days."

Before Wang Zuxian could praise him, he said, "It takes three days to change." ”

“……”

As soon as the atmosphere at the wine table was raised, the door of their box was pushed open, and two drunken men walked in, both with wine glasses in their hands.

At first, when the door was pushed open, they thought it was another table to toast, but when they saw that it was two strangers, everyone was a little puzzled.

This is...... Gone wrong?

After the two men came in, their eyes swept around the table, and when they saw Wang Zuxian, the two of them smiled and walked towards this side with wine glasses. (End of chapter)
