Zhou Yan wrote "Spring of the Cattle Herding Class" at home for a while, and then went to Yanjing Studio.

Now the Yanjing factory is very different from before, although Chen Zhigu is still the factory director, but it is basically a semi-retired state, and all the affairs in the factory are controlled by the deputy director Han Sanping.

This transfer of power was carried out in a completely stable state without any bloodshed.

Zhou Yan noticed that there were obviously more ornaments and potted plants in Han Sanping's office than when he came last time, especially potted plants, and there were more than a dozen pots by the window.

Looking at these potted plants, Zhou Yan joked, "Third brother, you got an oxygen in the office." ”

Seeing Zhou Yan, Han Sanping's eyes narrowed with a smile, "Hey, it's all sent by colleagues, and it's hard to resist the hospitality." ”

Zhou Yan smiled, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and these people in Yanjing Factory can naturally see the situation clearly, knowing that now the factory is no longer surnamed Chen but Han, and sending potted plants and ornaments is also a signal to stand in line.

However, Zhou Yan knew that Han Sanping didn't care whether others stood in line or not, he was a very pragmatic person, as long as he could help him achieve his goal, he could use it.

He came to Yanjing Factory to engage in performance.

And the biggest performance of Yanjing Factory recently is naturally from "The Sixth Sense", so when he saw Zhou Yan, Han Sanping smiled so happily.

The results of "Farewell My Concubine" are also very good, but it has nothing to do with him, that is Chen Zhigu's performance.

After sitting down, Zhou Yan asked with a smile, "Have you been busy in the factory lately?" ”

"It's not too busy." Han Sanping sat down opposite Zhou Yan and lit a cigarette, "The factory has been undergoing structural adjustment recently, and there are many meetings, the main project is "Growing Up", and other projects have been put on hold for the time being, including Teng Wenji's project. ”

Han Sanping talked about Teng Wenji's project alone, that is, he knew that Zhou Yan had a holiday with Teng Wenji.

Before, Chen Zhigu only passively dragged Teng Wenji's project, but when he came to Han Sanping, Teng Wenji's project was directly stuck, and Teng Wenji now wants to make a movie, so he can only go to an outside film company to invest.

Just like Chen Kaige, Chen Kaige did not cooperate with Yanjing Factory when he filmed Fengyue this time, mainly because Chen Kaige was still thinking about the Xiangjiang Film Awards and the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards.

If you cooperate with Yanjing Factory again, "Fengyue" does not meet the selection criteria for these two awards.

It's just that Teng Wenji's connections are all within the system, how can any film and television company be willing to pay real money to make movies for him, isn't that obviously losing money.

For Han Sanping, the project that stuck Teng Wenji was just a favor for Zhou Yan.

"Do you have an idea for a new movie?" Han Sanping asked again.

"I've had some ideas recently, but I'm not mature yet, so I'll tell you when I follow Sister Feng to finalize the project."

Han Sanping spat out his cigarette and looked at Zhou Yan with a smile through the smoke floating in the air, "Do you have any ideas to cooperate with our factory in this project?" ”

Zhou Yan said very simply, "Of course I am willing, my cooperation with Yanjing Factory has always been very pleasant, and now that you are in the factory again, I am more at ease when we cooperate." ”

Han Sanping laughed, "That's right, as long as my brother is in Yanjing Factory, I promise that I won't let you suffer a loss, except for no money, I can support you in everything, I will give you people if you want people, I will give you equipment if you want equipment, and I will give you venues if you want venues." The structure of the Yanjing factory is aging, but the talent reserve is still okay, and I can assure you now that the people in the factory, from top to bottom, as long as you need it, can be used in the past, including myself. ”

"Third brother, what you said, my tears are about to come out." Zhou Yan made a joke and asked, "I heard that the movie account sharing has eyebrows?" ”

Han Sanping nodded, "Your news is right, the top has already negotiated with foreign companies, "The End of the World", as the first part of the blockbuster, will be released in November, if this head is opened, the film account sharing model, as well as the introduction of foreign blockbusters will become the norm, which will undoubtedly have a violent impact on our original model, but at the same time, it also gives us opportunities." ”

"It's also the time for you to show your ambitions, third brother."

"If Chinese films want to develop, it is not enough to rely on one or two people, it depends on the joint efforts of all filmmakers." After speaking, Han Sanping probably felt that his words were a bit too official, and said with a smile, "Our brothers talk behind closed doors, and I will say it directly, if you want to achieve many goals here, it depends on you and Mr. Xu's help." "The Sixth Sense" has achieved such good results now, it is a good opportunity, strike while the iron is hot, and with a few more movies, the first person to eat crabs is risky, but it is also a great opportunity. ”

"If we can help, it's incumbent on us." Zhou Yan said.

Han Sanping nodded, and didn't go any further, it's a bit early to say anything now.

He leaned back and said, "I have time to call your second brother, and Siqi, let's have a meal together, the brothers haven't been together for a long time." ”

"No problem, I'll save up in a few days."

"Okay, then I'll wait for your news."

……

Leaving from the Yanjing factory, Zhou Yan went to the studio, there was no one in the studio at this time, the Piano Youth Orchestra had been touring all over the world during this time, and No. 43 Baojia Street was also performing outside.

Although Zhou Yan did not follow, the tour of the Piano Youth Orchestra was still quite popular, after all, the songs they played were the original ones.

However, because Zhou Yan didn't go, the ticket price was relatively low.

Let them tour all over the world, not to make money, one is to promote Zhou Yan's music, and the other is to give the members some opportunities to exercise.

With the passage of time, the members of the orchestra have increased, and the original orchestra was basically only students of CCTV, but now some students have graduated and have not left the orchestra.

When it comes time for members to graduate, they can choose to stay or leave.

Zhou Yan personally encourages them to leave after graduation, and if they have the opportunity, Zhou Yan still hopes that they can go to some top schools or orchestras in Europe to study.

They play someone else's stuff, and they have to admit that no one else plays well.

Although the piano boy is now famous, the level of the orchestra is not first-class at all, and there is an obvious gap with those top orchestras in Europe, that is, the folk music is relatively better.

Zhou Yan hopes that they can go out to see the world, and if they are willing to come back in the future, their orchestra will also open the door at any time.

Most of the members who learn Western musical instruments choose to go abroad for further study or go to other top orchestras in China, while more members who study folk music stay.

The salaries of these people who stayed behind were much higher than when they were in school before, and they also increased the usual expenses of the orchestra, but the profits from their performances were still able to fill the vacancy in this area, and now Zhou Yan is raising this orchestra, and he is not losing money.

As soon as Zhou Yan arrived at the office, Liu Hang, the general manager of the studio, came over with the report.

"Boss, this is a breakdown of our studio during this time, please take a look."

"Put it down, I'll see later." Zhou Yan put down the pen in his hand and asked Liu Hang with a smile, "Mr. Liu, you have worked hard during this time, are you still used to working here?" ”

Liu Hang shook his head, "I'm still a little unaccustomed, because it's too leisurely, boss, I still think that the aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys, our recording studio is so high-end, it should be known to more people, so that the business can be done." The recording studio has been idle, and I am in a hurry to watch. ”

Zhou Yan smiled, Liu Hang had already told him this once.

Liu Hang is a native of Yanjing, he went to the UK to study music before, and later came back and made an album, but the response was very poor.

After that, he retired to the background and went to work as a producer for a music company in Pengcheng.

Xu Junrong knew him, and when he learned that Zhou Yan wanted to find a general manager for the studio, he recommended Liu Hang to Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan personally interviewed Liu Hang, Liu Hang's musical talent is average, but he is very familiar with music production, and he has dabbled in classical music and pop music, the key is that he has management experience, and he is satisfied with everyone and everything.

Compared with Xu Junrong, Liu Hang is not so tactful, but Liu Hang has more enthusiasm for music than Xu Junrong.

It seems that Liu Hang is indeed in a hurry, otherwise he would not have said this twice in a row.

Liu Hang is not a fool after all, he came to Zhou Yan, his salary is not low, and he naturally wants to show his value, he doesn't want to come over like a gatekeeper.

He also has his own career plan, if the studio has always been like this, he would rather resign, even if the boss is Zhou Yan, he can't change his mind.

Zhou Yan comforted Liu Hangdao, "You don't have to worry, the studio will be busy after a while." ”

As he spoke, he pressed his hand again and motioned for Liu Hang to sit down.

Waiting for Liu Hang to sit down, he continued, "I'll do the math for you and you'll know, the soundtrack of "Journey to the West" will be recorded in December, and the soundtrack of "Growing Up" will be recorded in January at the latest. ”

"I know these two jobs, but they are too little, and the remuneration for these two jobs is not enough to pay us people."

"There is also the soundtrack of "Wind and Moon", which will also be recorded with us. In addition, in a while, the soundtrack recording of two films in Yanjing Studio will be carried out with us, and I have already told their factory leaders about this. ”

The two movies Zhou Yan said are "Soul Girl" and "MJ Story", the movie has been filmed and is in the post-production, and it was Han Sanping who took the initiative to hand over these two jobs to Zhou Yan's studio to do.

Hearing that there were three more jobs, Liu Hang's face also showed a hint of joy, and he was finally going to get busy.

"Boss, don't worry, I will definitely lead people to do these jobs beautifully."

Zhou Yan smiled, "You may feel idle now, don't call me busy later, the nature of our studio is special, and the work will slowly find it by itself, I didn't take the initiative to find a job, I also hope that you can have a gradual process." ”

Liu Hang patted his chest very confidently and said, "Boss, don't worry, as long as it doesn't exceed the maximum load of our recording studio, I can be busy." ”

Zhou Yan nodded, "Okay, I know, I will pay attention to finding some work for you during this time." ”

"Thank you, boss."

After Liu Hang thanked him, he suddenly felt a little strange, just ask the boss to find a job, he has to thank the boss as an employee, isn't it completely reversed.

Under normal circumstances, it should be the boss urging their employees to do business, but now it is him urging the boss to do business.

"Okay, you go get busy, I'll read these reports."

After Liu Hang left, Zhou Yan did not rush to read the report, but first began to write the story outline of "The Spring of the Cattle Herding Class", he planned to spend two days to write the story outline, and another two weeks to write the script.

Later, you don't have to wait for Xu Feng to watch it, you can directly start drawing the storyboard of the movie.

He believes that Xu Feng will definitely be satisfied when he sees this script, and he takes 10,000 steps back and says, even if Xu Feng is not satisfied, he will shoot it himself, and the production of millions of dollars is not a problem for him at all.

Even if Zhou's company is not involved, as long as he says that he wants to make a movie now, there will definitely be a large number of companies queuing up with money.

It was not until the evening that Zhou Yan stopped the pen in his hand, and he took the opportunity to look at the report sent by Liu Hang.

In fact, there is nothing to see, the studio has not carried out any business during this time, there is basically no income, and the expenses are all staff salaries and daily expenses, which is clear at a glance, and there is nothing in it.

After reading the report, Zhou Yan went to the cafeteria for a meal.

Although the studio is not large, Zhou Yan still set up a canteen.

This canteen is not big, usually there are two masters are busy, and the meals cooked every day are not fixed, and the staff of the logistics department need to count the number of people who eat the next day one day in advance, and the canteen will cook according to the number of people counted.

Zhou Yan has always attached great importance to the canteen, and it doesn't cost much to set up a canteen, but it can greatly improve the happiness index of employees.

The pursuit of ordinary people is very simple, nothing more than food, clothing, housing and transportation, of which food and housing are the most important, and Zhou Yan can't arrange housing yet, so he will solve the problem of food for them first.

During this time, there were few people eating in the canteen, and if you met the Piano Youth Orchestra and the No. 43 Baojia Street Band when they were there, in fact, there were one or two hundred people who came to eat, and the canteen was not big, so they had to come to eat in batches.

Sometimes Yu Hua and they come over, and they will eat here, but they also eat one or two meals occasionally, although Yu Hua is not thin-skinned, but he is embarrassed to eat too much.

As soon as Zhou Yan ordered a braised pork and sat down, the pager in his pocket rang, and it was Zhang Youan calling.

Because he was eating, he was not in a hurry to go back.

Recently, Zhou Yan is also thinking about whether to get a mobile phone, and several mobile phones have been released this year, which are much smaller than before, and it is not a big problem to stuff them in your pocket.

In fact, the reason why Zhou Yan didn't buy a mobile phone is not because of the large size of the mobile phone, but mainly because he doesn't like the feeling of answering the phone at any time, like now, Zhang Youan They want to find him, just call him on the pager, if it is urgent, the word pager is enough.

If it's not urgent, Zhou Yan doesn't need to be in a hurry, just call back later.

But if he buys a mobile phone, he will have to answer Zhang Youan's call at this time, which will affect his eating.

Zhang Youan didn't edit out the specific things, so it shouldn't be a hurry, so Zhou Yan was not in a hurry.

After eating slowly, Zhou Yan also walked around the two recording studios, touched the Steinway and Sons that he bought for millions, and then went back to the office to call Zhang Youan back.

After the phone was connected, Zhou Yan asked, "What's the matter, Lao Zhang?" ”

"Oki Productions contacted us and asked if you could help Shizuka Kudo make a song." Zhang You'an got straight to the point, and he didn't drag the mud and water at all.

Zhou Yan was also very straightforward, and directly refused, "No, I don't have time." ”

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, listen to me, Ogi Productions wants to release a Chinese album for Kudo Shizuka in Chinese mainland."

"Why did they suddenly have this idea?" Zhou Yan said curiously.

"Because they want to help Shizuka Kudo open up the Chinese mainland market, and they also want to release a Chinese album in front of Sakai Noriko and grab the title of the neon singer's first chapter Chinese Chinese album." Zhang Youan explained.

Zhou Yan tugged at the corners of his mouth, "What's there to grab from this thing?" ”

Sakai wants to enter the Chinese market because she has already gained a large number of fans in China with Panasonic Electronics' advertising, and this time she released a Chinese album just to harvest that wave of traffic.

"Originally, they wouldn't have had this thought, isn't it because they sang your three songs that they came up with such an idea?"

Zhou Yan himself was not interested in this matter at all, but when he heard that Shizuka Kudo was going to sing a Chinese song, he became a little interested.

"Is Shizuka Kudo's Mandarin okay?" Zhou Yan said curiously, the last time they met, Shizuka Kudo couldn't speak Chinese at all.

"I think I've just started learning, but singing, the language level is not so high."

Zhang Youan is right, foreign singers sing Chinese songs, domestic fans actually don't pay much attention to the singer's pronunciation, as long as they can roughly hear that they are singing in Mandarin, it doesn't even matter if they can't hear it.

"But I have a request." Zhou Yan said.

Zhang Youan grasped the point, "So, as long as her language level meets the requirements, you can write?" ”

"Well, if her Mandarin level can meet the requirements, I will consider writing it for her."

"It just so happens that Shizuka Kudo will go to Yanjing in a few days, and when the time comes, you can talk face-to-face, and you can also test her Mandarin level."

"What is she doing in Yanjing?"

"There is a performance, since Ogi Productions wants to open the Chinese mainland market for her, it must be paved in advance."

Zhou Yan nodded, "That's okay, when she comes to Yanjing, just let her come to the studio to find me." ”

"No problem, I'll go talk to the person in charge of Ogi Production."

……

As soon as Qiu Huaichang arrived in the station in the morning, he was called into the office by Zhong Yuchun, the deputy director.

When he arrived at Zhong Yuchun's office, Qiu Huaichang was a little apprehensive.

Some time ago, he led the team to Neon to shoot a special program, and it was originally filmed well, but when he came back, there was a problem, half of the material they had filmed before was damaged, and the rest of the material was made into a program that was very unsatisfactory, and finally the album program was cut.

The show was cut, and it was not once or twice for Qiu Huaichang, but this time it was their own major mistake, and this time the show cost a lot, and the cost of several of them going abroad was a lot.

He has been trained by the department leaders before, is it possible that Chief Zhong is here to make up for the knife?

Seeing that Qiu Huaichang was a little nervous, Zhong Yuchun also knew why, he opened his mouth and said, "Xiao Qiu, your mistake last time made a lot of losses in the stage. ”

Qiu Huaichang immediately admitted his mistake, "This time it was indeed my fault, I will definitely learn from the pain, and I will never make the same mistake in the future." ”

Zhong Yuchun nodded, "Your attitude of admitting mistakes is good, and the station doesn't want to deny a comrade because of a mistake." This time there is a chance to make up for it, do you want it? ”

"Of course I thought, Zhongtai, what is the task?"

"Neon has a female singer who wants to come to Yanjing, and she took the initiative to contact us and say that she would like to be interviewed by our station, it just so happens that you know neon language, this job can be handed over to you."

"Neon female singer, who's it?" Qiu Huaichang said curiously.

"Shizuka Kudo, I'm still quite famous in Neon now."

Hearing that it was Shizuka Kudo, Qiu Huaichang was quite surprised, he had been in Neon and knew that Shizuka Kudo's popularity in Neon has been particularly high in recent years, not only in Neon, but also in Xiangjiang and Taidao.

Unexpectedly, Shizuka Kudo would come to Yanjing, and he took the initiative to make an appointment with them for an interview.

After being surprised, he was also very excited, because this is a good errand, and if it is done well, it will definitely be able to make up for the mistake last time.

"Zhongtai, don't worry, you can leave this matter to me, when will she come to Yanjing?"

"Next Thursday."

Qiu Huaichang calculated, there are still ten days left.

"No problem, I'll study Shizuka Kudo's information during this time and prepare in advance."

Although he knows that Kudo Shizuka is popular, he actually doesn't know much about Kudo Shizuka, and since he wants to interview Kudo Shizuka this time, he must carefully study Kudo Shizuka's information.

"Okay, you go back and prepare, I'll let you contact them then."

Coming out of Zhong Yuchun's office, Qiu Huaichang set out to collect information about Shizuka Kudo, including what songs she sang, what interviews she received, and what movies she made, all of which were to be collected.

It's not an easy thing to collect information, even if they are in the TV station, it is difficult to get Kudo Shizuka's video materials, but after all, he has been in Neon, so he has a wider path than others.

A few days later, Qiu Huaichang was working on a video of Shizuka Kudo being interviewed, and there was nothing special about the time video, but the more Qiu Huaichang watched it, the more he felt that this paragraph was familiar.

He rubbed his eyebrows and thought for a long time, then suddenly stood up suddenly, with a look of disbelief, "No! ”

Then he ran to the reference room.

As soon as he entered the data room, he shouted, "Lao Zhang, what about the materials I shot in Neon last time?" ”

Zhang Changchang in the data room looked up at Qiu Huaichang, "It's all filed, what are you going to do?" ”

"I'm going to take another look at one of the tapes."

Zhang Changchang said expressionlessly, "If you want to see it, you can go to the leader to sign a note, and then come to me with the note to get it." ”

"Lao Zhang, be accommodating, I'll take it and take a look, ten minutes at most, and I'll be back immediately within ten minutes."

"Without a sliver, not for a second."

Seeing that Zhang was not accommodating for a long time, Qiu Huaichang had no choice but to write a note to Zhong Yuchun to sign.

Zhong Yuchun looked at the strip and frowned, "Aren't you preparing for Shizuka Kudo's interview recently?" Why did you think about the previous strap again? ”

Qiu Huaichang said excitedly, "I have discovered a very important thing that must be confirmed. ”

"What's the matter?"

Qiu Huaichang hesitated, because he was not sure now, if he told Zhong Yuchun, but finally found that his guess was wrong, then the leader would definitely be angry.

But if you don't say it, the leaders may not be willing to approve it.

He thought about it for a while, but explained the situation, "I think one of the passers-by I interviewed at Neon before was probably Shizuka Kudo. ”

Zhong Yuchun narrowed his eyes, "Is there such a thing?" ”

"I'm not actually sure ......"

Zhong Yuchun nodded, raised his hand and signed his name on the note, "Isn't it, just go and see it, remember to reply to me after reading it." ”

After getting the note, Qiu Huaichang nodded again and again, "Okay, I'll confirm it now." ”

went to the data room again with the strip, Qiu Huaichang got the videotape as he wished, and then went to find a video recorder to play it.

Put it on the girl wearing a bowler hat and sunglasses, Qiu Huaichang narrowed his eyes and paid twelve points of attention.

The more he looked at it, the more he felt that this was Shizuka Kudo, this crooked mouth, this voice, and this tone of speech were all the same as Shizuka Kudo.

Especially when she saw the back, when the girl said that she was about to go to Yanjing and wanted to visit Yanjing TV, Qiu Huaichang was sure that this was definitely Shizuka Kudo, and there could be no such coincidence in this world.

This also made him understand why Shizuka Kudo took the initiative to interview Yanjing TV, it turned out that everything was just because of the interview at that time.

After that, Qiu Huaichang told Zhong Yuchun about it, and Zhong Yuchun was also very surprised, he didn't expect there to be such a coincidence.

At that time, Zhong Yuchun also decided to restart the previous project, although there were a lot fewer materials, but as long as there was such a thing as Shizuka Kudo, it was completely enough.

……

Three days later, in the evening, Yanjing TV broadcast a special program dedicated to the brilliant achievements of Zhou Yanxin's movie "The Sixth Sense".

There is nothing unusual about this show, the content in it has been reported by other media, and the only thing that is interesting is the few passers-by interviews in Neon.

To the audience's surprise, the subject of this interview turned out to be Shizuka Kudo, a popular diva of neon.

Many viewers don't know Shizuka Kudo, but that's okay, because the show also specifically introduces Shizuka Kudo's popularity in Asia.

Originally, the scandals between Zhou Yan and Shizuka Kudo were only rumored in Neon, Xiangjiang and Taidao, but because of this program on Yanjing TV, the two of them were discussed together in the mainland.

Unlike Shizuka Kudo who publicly expressed her appreciation for Zhou Yan in front of reporters before, this time he was interviewed unexpectedly, which was even more dramatic.

Zhou Yan also saw this interview, but his first reaction was not to believe that it was a coincidence, he thought that it should be a script designed by Yanjing TV and Shizuka Kudo.

It seems that Ogi Productions really wants to let Kudo Shizuka enter Chinese mainland, and he has taken such painstaking measures.

However, he has a lot of complaints about this hype method that binds him together.

What Zhou Yan didn't know was that this matter had nothing to do with Ogi Production, and when they learned about this news, they were also very surprised.

But the effect created by this news made Ogi Production very satisfied, they just wanted to bind Zhou Yan to hype, but they haven't put it into action yet, this time it's a mistake.

……

After Shizuka Kudo arrived in Yanjing, she took a short rest in the hotel and took a car to Zhou Yan's music studio.

On the way there, Shizuka Kudo has been silently reciting the Mandarin she recently learned, wanting to hug her feet temporarily.

After this period of study, she can speak a lot of Chinese, but she is still a long way from communicating with others.

Assistant Nangong Matsuko said with a smile, "Shizuka, in fact, if you sing, you only need to memorize the pronunciation of the lyrics, and you don't need daily communication." ”

"But Zhou Yan's request is more than that."

Nangong Matsuko pursed his lips and didn't speak, in fact, if he could invite Zhou Yan to write a song, Ogi Production didn't care very much about it, anyway, Kudo Shizuka had already sung three songs by Zhou Yan, and they hoped that Zhou Yan could participate in Kudo Shizuka's performance a week later.

It's Shizuka Kudo, who is so concerned, she doesn't really want to have something to do with Zhou Yan.

This is not what Ogi Productions wants to see, although they don't mind that Shizuka Kudo has some scandal with Zhou Yan, but if the two really fall in love, it will definitely affect Shizuka Kudo's career.

After arriving at the studio, under the leadership of the staff, they met Zhou Yan in the practice room.

At this time, Zhou Yan was writing the tunes to be used in "The Spring of the Cattle Herding Class", and the tunes in this movie were originally good, but Zhou Yan had a lot of ideas to inject into them, so he also wrote the script and music at the same time.

He is even going to compile "Early Morning, First Snow, Red Sun" and write a singing version.

When Shizuka Kudo arrived, Zhou Yan was playing the piano, so they didn't disturb Zhou Yan, but listened quietly on the side.

Looking at the silhouette of Zhou Yan playing the piano, Shizuka Kudo smiled, when she smiled, her originally big and bright eyes would narrow into two crescent-shaped slits, she ate Zhou Yan too much.

Nangong Matsuko was beside her, and when she saw Kudo Shizuka's expression, she couldn't help but roll her eyes, this thing is going to be bad.

She felt that there was a problem with the company's strategy, so she shouldn't let Shizuka Kudo have too much contact with Zhou Yan, and it was easy to have problems. (End of chapter)
