Hearing Xu Feng say that he wanted to read the script, Zhou Yan walked to the filing cabinet, took out three file boxes from it, and gave them to Xu Feng.

Xu Feng took the box and felt a sinking in her hand, she was surprised, "So heavy?" ”

In fact, it is not particularly heavy, but compared to the script, this weight is a bit unexpected for Xu Feng.

It stands to reason that there are only a few scripts, and it has only been a month or two since Zhou Yan said that he wanted new ideas, so it would be good to be able to get the rough script out.

Zhou Yan said with a smile, "These three boxes, one is the script, one is the storyboard, and the other is the music score, all of which are marked on them. ”

Xu Feng looked outside the file box, and then put aside the box containing the music score, "I won't read this, I can't understand it, I'll listen to it when you record it later." ”

After speaking, she opened the file box containing the script, took out the script inside, and read it carefully.

Zhou Yan had told her before that the new movie would be related to music, so she was not surprised to see that the script began with a concert.

There are many types of scripts, which can be roughly divided into literary scripts and shooting scripts, and the one Xu Feng holds in his hand is a literary script.

The difference between a literary script and a shooting script is that the shooting script does not focus on the text description, but more on the embodiment of the shooting level such as storyboard and camera movement.

Because Zhou Yan will make a very detailed storyboard, his scripts are all literary scripts, and literary scripts have the advantage that they read very smoothly, similar to reading dramas.

When Xu Feng read it, he felt like he was reading.

Lin Ai is a very well-known musician, because of the death of his mother to return to his hometown for funeral, in his hometown, he met his former classmate Feng Ning.

Feng Ning took out the diary of their former teacher Zhou Xuewen, and then the story switched to fifty years ago with Zhou Xuewen's perspective.

Zhou Xuewen was a talented composer, but his talent was not put to good use, and he ended up working as a superintendent at a school in the countryside.

This school is different from ordinary schools, there are only all kinds of boys with problems.

It's not so much a school as a prison, and the description of the school in the script is also obscure and gloomy, with high walls, few windows, sunlight is a rare guest here, and depression and coldness are the main themes here.

The real wall is still in the hearts of the staff and students, where there are strict visiting hours, and parents can only see their children at a fixed time.

If someone violates discipline, the whole school will immediately assemble and the perpetrator will be severely punished.

If the perpetrator is not found, everyone is to be locked up for six hours, in turn, with all entertainment cancelled and no outside visits allowed until the perpetrator is found.

This pattern is very similar to that of a prison.

In this case, it is naturally impossible for the children here to be normal, and after Zhou Xuewen came to school, he wanted to change this situation, but found it very difficult.

None of the teachers supported his approach, and none of the students were willing to cooperate, and the students were as hostile to him as any other teacher and challenged him.

And all the changes started when Zhou Xuewen wanted to form a choir.

……

When Xu Feng first got the script, Zhou Yan made her a cup of tea, but she didn't take a sip until the tea was cold and the tea was broken.

She suddenly understood why Zhou Yan couldn't like the two scripts she said before, Zhou Yan's script was indeed very good, and it was especially suitable for Zhou Yan.

Although he hadn't heard the tunes mentioned in the script, Xu Feng could already imagine the choir singing these songs.

The main reason is that Xu Feng has almost blind trust in Zhou Yan's musical talent, and she knows that the music written by Zhou Yan will definitely not disappoint her.

Xu Feng also likes this script very much, she didn't want Chen Kaige to shoot "Fengyue" before, because she felt that the characters in "Fengyue" were difficult to capture the shining points of human nature.

And "The Spring of the Cattle Herding Class" is just the opposite, many characters in this script shine brightly, especially the protagonist Zhou Xuewen, who is simply a model teacher.

Although the children used to be very naughty, but after Zhou Xuewen's influence, they were not only discovered by their musical talents, but also by the kindness in their hearts.

Even though Zhou Xuewen was later fired by the principal, the ending was very satisfying, Lin Ai left the school and was admitted to the Central Conservatory of Music, while the principal was exposed to abuse the students and finally had to leave.

This made Xu Feng feel very good, warm and healing.

Especially when the story was about to end, Zhou Xuewen was fired and left the school alone, thinking that the students could disobey the order and come out to see him off, but none of them came out.

Just when he was disappointed, he found a paper airplane on the ground, on which were the farewell messages written by the students.

When Zhou Xuewen raised his head, he saw many pairs of waving hands showing out of the windows of the high wall, saying goodbye to him.

When she saw this paragraph, Xu Feng almost burst into tears, she was happy for Zhou Xuewen, and the things that Zhou Xuewen had done for the students before had finally paid off.

The portrayal of the characters in the script is also very good, and many characters are impressive, the principal, Lin Ai, Zhou Xuewen, Feng Ning......

And the relationship between people, whether it is the confrontation between the faculty and students, or the friendship between students, and even Zhou Xuewen's love for Lin Ai's mother is portrayed very well.

After reading the script, Xu Feng finally picked up the teacup to drink, and Zhou Yan hurriedly stopped, "It's already cold, Sister Feng, I'll make you another cup." ”

Xu Feng waved his hand heartily, "No, the weather is quite hot, it's good to drink something cold, you make another cup, I won't be able to drink it for a while." ”

With that, she raised her head and drank a cup of herbal tea into her stomach. She is not a pampered lady, along the way, through ups and downs, drinking some herbal tea is nothing.

After drinking, Xu Feng pressed the script with his hand and said with a smile, "Hurry up and shoot, I can't wait to see the movie." ”

Zhou Yan waved his hand, "If you want to shoot, you have to solve a problem first." ”

"What's the problem?"

"The copyright issue, this script is actually based on a French film "A Caged Nightingale" decades ago, and this movie should not be more than 50 years old, so I still have to buy the copyright."

Even if the movie is more than 50 years old, Zhou Yan still wants to buy the copyright, so as not to have a moth in the future.

Xu Feng was quite surprised, "It's still an adaptation, I haven't seen this movie before." ”

"It's really not very famous."

"Do you know who owns the copyright?" Xu Feng asked.

Zhou Yan shook his head, "I don't know about this. ”

Xu Feng frowned, if she didn't know who owned the copyright, this matter would be a bit difficult, and she had to find out who had the copyright for the movie.

If the movie is well-known, it's not a big problem, it's easy to ask, but if the movie is not well-known, it will take some time.

After pondering for a moment, she smiled and said, "It's okay, leave this matter to me, you don't have to worry about it, start the shooting plan normally." What are your thoughts on the casting of this movie? ”

Zhou Yan did not hesitate at all, and directly said the candidate in his heart, "I want Mr. Li Xuejian to play Zhou Xuewen." ”

"Li Xuejian?" Xu Feng raised his eyebrows, "I remember that he is not bald." ”

In Zhou Yan's script, Zhou Xuewen is a bald man, and the students also gave him several nicknames because of his baldness, such as light warheads, bald donkeys, etc., and on the paper airplanes in the back, someone wrote a sentence "Bald donkey fighter, please don't stop".

Zhou Yan said with a smile, "Then I can only hope that Mr. Li Xuejian can sacrifice for art." ”

Zhou Yan has no psychological burden at all, he knows that an actor like Li Xuejian doesn't care about image at all.

Not only does the appearance have to be transformed, Zhou Yan is also ready to invite Li Xuejian to CCTV for training for a period of time, although playing Zhou Xuewen does not necessarily have musical talent, but the training effect is obviously better.

Xu Feng knew that Zhou Yan had always liked Li Xuejian very much, and the last time he was looking for an actor in "The Sixth Sense", he actually considered letting Li Xuejian participate, but in the end, he weighed it and chose Leung Jiahui.

This time, Zhou Yan wanted Li Xuejian to play Zhou Xuewen, and Xu Feng also agreed.

"Since you like Mr. Li Xuejian, then contact him as soon as possible and determine the actor first. These children should need to be selected from those choirs, right? ”

Zhou Yan nodded, "Well, I have already contacted Yang Tuan's side, and I will go to them after a while." ”

Che Yongqiang helped Zhou Yan ask Yang Hongnian, and Yang Hongnian agreed, and they made an appointment with Zhou Yan to take a look after a while.

"There are so many students here, you go to find them one by one, I'm afraid you won't be able to find them, I suggest you get a large-scale role selection, just like the last time "The Sixth Sense" selected actors."

"I'll go to a few groups to take a look first, and after the copyright of "A Caged Nightingale" is confirmed, it's not too late to carry out a large-scale casting."

Xu Feng nodded, "It's really safe to do this, let's talk about the role of adulthood, do you have someone in mind for this principal?" ”

Among the adult roles, the principal has a lot of roles, and it is also a very important role, and the actors of this role also need to be carefully chosen, so Xu Feng will mention it in particular.

"Headmaster, I really don't have a definite candidate in mind."

Xu Feng thought for a moment and said, "What do you think of Xie Xian?" ”

Zhou Yan shook his head, "It's not suitable." ”

In fact, it is not impossible for Xie Xian to play the principal, there is no problem in acting, but the key is that Zhou Yan doesn't want to use Xie Xian, the salary of Xiangjiang actors is much higher than that of mainland actors, and Xie Xian is likely to be difficult to serve, Zhou Yan doesn't want to invite a father to the crew.

Besides, Xie Xian doesn't seem to be filming much now.

Zhou Yan thought about it himself, and the first thing that came to mind was Wang Kuirong, but then he denied it, Wang Kuirong's acting at this time is still not suitable for the role of the principal.

Xu Feng was also a little difficult, and he couldn't think of a suitable candidate for a while.

"Let's put this role aside for a while, and then think about it after Mr. Li Xuejian's side is confirmed." Zhou Yan said.

"That's fine, but it can't be delayed for a long time, the scene of your movie is quite difficult, and the school described in the script should be difficult to find."

After pondering for a moment, Xu Feng said again, "Don't worry, if you can't find a suitable one, it's a big deal for us to build one ourselves, and it won't cost much anyway." ”

Zhou Yan shook his head secretly, he felt that his identity with Xu Feng was a little reversed.

In other people's homes, the director can spend money hard, and the producer wants to save money.

They are good, Zhou Yan always thinks about spending a small amount of money to do big things, how to save money and how to come, but Xu Feng, a producer, thinks about how to spend money every day.

It really didn't cost much money to build this school, but the problem was that it was difficult to use this building later.

Although it is a school, it is really not suitable for schools. Many people ridicule schools as prisons, but no school really wants to be in such a place.

"Let's look for it first, and then talk if we can't find it."

"Hmm."

Xu Feng nodded, opened the file box containing the storyboard, and took out the storyboard from inside.

Seeing the "grid comics" drawn by Zhou Yan, Xu Feng quipped, "Yohe, my painting skills are good, much better than what I drew before." ”

"There's always going to be progress."

Xu Feng flipped through the storyboard and saw Zhou Xuewen in the storyboard, raised his eyebrows and said, "You have long been determined that you want Li Xuejian to play Zhou Xuewen, this villain is drawn according to his image." ”

"It seems that my painting skills have really improved, and you can see that."

Zhou Yan did paint according to Li Xuejian, to be precise, it should be painted according to Jyl played by Li Xuejian, but Jyl's hair was painted bald.

After looking at the storyboard, Xu Feng asked again, "Who are you going to ask to be your assistant this time?" ”

"It's still Xiaoshuai, be safe."

"That's too high, Xiaoshuai is now the best director at the Taormina Film Festival."

"Yes, I'm also thinking about whether it's suitable or not, but I'm not at ease with someone else, after all, we have been working together for a long time and are familiar with each other, I have some ideas, and he can understand quickly."

"It's okay, let's work together again. I believe that as long as you invite him to be an assistant director, he will definitely be willing. ”

Speaking of which, Zhou Yan can be regarded as Wang Xiaoshuai's Bole.

Although the movie "Days of Winter and Spring" was invested by Tomson, it actually had little to do with Xu Feng, and Xu Feng was willing to invest at that time, and it was entirely because of Zhou Yan.

Wang Xiaoshuai is not a person who doesn't know gratitude, so he is very grateful to Zhou Yan, not to mention that Zhou Yan let him be an assistant director again, even if he is asked to do chores in the crew, he will not say a word.

However, Zhou Yan also knows that it is someone's business that people are willing, and if he keeps dragging Wang Xiaoshuai as an assistant director, it will be too condescending.

"This time I'm going to find an assistant director, and then two assistant directors, which can ease our work, and if it is trained, when I get my next film, there will be an assistant director."

"No one believes it, you're about to become a director training class."

"It's not a director training class, it's that they are talented, and at most, I just built a platform for them."

"You're still ......"

Before Xu Feng finished speaking, there was a knock at the door, and the two turned their heads to look, only to see Wang Zuxian standing at the door with a smile.

"Sister Feng, you're here." Wang Zuxian took the initiative to say hello.

Seeing Wang Zuxian, Xu Feng was also very happy, and hurriedly beckoned, "Xiaoxian is here, come and sit." ”

Wang Zuxian and Xu Feng are fellow countrymen, and they have communicated before, but later because of "The Sixth Sense", the relationship has taken a step further.

Tomorrow is the celebration banquet of "The Sixth Sense", and Wang Zuxian, as the heroine, naturally wants to come over.

Originally, Zhou Yan was going to pick up Wang Zuxian today, but Xu Feng came, and he couldn't leave.

Wang Zuxian saw the storyboard on the coffee table and asked curiously, "Is this the third brother's new movie?" ”

"Well, look at it." Xu Feng said.

Wang Zuxian nodded and picked up the storyboard to take a look.

Zhou Yan is going to make a new movie, Wang Zuxian has long known about it, and the two of them basically have to talk on the phone every day or two, and she knows more about this new movie than Xu Feng.

After listening to this story at that time, Wang Zuxian sighed that the story was very good, but it was also a pity that there was no role she could play in this movie.

When Wang Zuxian was reading the storyboard, Xu Feng also said: "It's a pity that this new movie doesn't have a role that Xiaoxian can play, after "The Sixth Sense", you should have received a lot of scripts, right?" ”

"Yes, I received some scripts."

The box office of "The Sixth Sense" is too good, and even the coffee positions of the male and female protagonists have been raised, and now the quotations of several movies to Wang Zuxian are above 2 million, which is already the highest salary among actresses.

However, Wang Zuxian didn't take any of them, after "Green Snake", she said that she would stop, if it wasn't for Zhou Yan looking for her, she probably wouldn't even be able to shoot a drama in the past two years.

In fact, after "The Sixth Sense", Hu Ke should have the greatest impact, and in the past two months, Hu Ke has received many invitations from the crew.

It's just that Hu Ke didn't pick it up, his father thinks that Hu Ke is still studying, he should focus on his studies, and he should take his time in filming.

After Wang Zuxian came, Xu Feng sat in Zhou Yan's office for more than half an hour, and then said goodbye, she only came to Yanjing today, and there are still many things to do.

After Xu Feng left, Zhou Yan closed the door of the office, and as soon as he turned around, Wang Zuxian hugged him.

"Third brother, do you miss me?"

Zhou Yan didn't speak, lowered his head and kissed Wang Zuxian directly, as the breathing of the two gradually became heavier, his hands were not honest.

Wang Zuxian wore a short skirt today, and Zhou Yan reached down and touched her long legs.

The two of them were newly married, and the lust accumulated during this time also broke out at this moment, Wang Zuxian put his arms around Zhou Yan's neck and took the initiative to ask for it.

Just as Zhou Yan's hand continued to probe inside, a phone rang, interrupting his next move.

Wang Zuxian also regained his senses, pushed Zhou Yan away, sorted out his clothes, and said with a sneer, "Third brother, go and answer the phone." ”

Zhou Yan bent over, adjusted his trouser legs, and then walked to pick up the phone.

"Hello?"

"Boss, Shizuka Kudo wants to come and record a song in the near future, and Ogi Productions asks when it's okay." Jiang Xia's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Zhou Yan sighed secretly, "Just contact Liu Hang about this, I'm not the producer of her album, just confirm the recording studio for them." ”

"Oki Productions probably still hopes that you can give some guidance when the album is recorded."

"It's supposed to be guided, I've already been instructed before, if you encounter any problems during the recording process, let's talk about it."

"Well, then I see, I'll talk back to Ogi now."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yan still wanted to go to Wang Zuxian to continue, but Wang Zuxian had already sorted out his clothes and sat on the sofa.

"Who's going to record the album?" Wang Zuxian said curiously.

"Shizuka Kudo, she wants to release a Chinese album and record it in our studio."

Hearing that it was Shizuka Kudo, Wang Zuxian pouted, "It seems that she really likes you." ”

Zhou Yan smiled, "Why, I'm jealous." ”

"No, I want to eat this vinegar, and I'm going to soak it in the vinegar jar every day."

In fact, Wang Zuxian is also hard-mouthed, ordinary girls are by Zhou Yan's side, of course she will not be jealous, but Shizuka Kudo is obviously a strong opponent, which makes her feel threatened.

She didn't feel the scandal between Zhou Yan and Zhang Manyu in the entertainment news before, also because she knew the relationship between Zhang Manyu and Zhou Yan, and Zhang Manyu did not covet Zhou Yan.

But Shizuka Kudo is different, she seems to be very aggressive, and she has chased them all to China.

Zhou Yan sat down next to Wang Zuxian, took her hand and said, "If you don't worry, when she comes to record, you will watch from the side." ”

Wang Zuxian said with a smile, "Do you want to keep me in Yanjing for a while longer." ”

"Of course, the weather in Yanjing will be cold soon, and the quilt will be cold, so someone needs to warm the bed."

Wang Zuxian feigned anger and said, "Ha, it turns out that you want to ask me to warm the bed, then you can go buy a few hot water bottles." ”

"Hot water bottles aren't as warm as you."

Wang Zuxian leaned his head on Zhou Yan's shoulder, "After a while, I have recently taken a fancy to several properties in Xiangjiang and want to see if I can take them down." ”

After not filming much, Wang Zuxian began to think about financial management, and she didn't have much way to manage her finances, just to buy a house.

She has bought several houses in recent years.

Of course, she didn't buy it blindly, she had to analyze every house carefully, and really took it as a career.

Zhou Yan knew that there was a high probability that he would not lose money when investing in real estate, so he let her toss.

However, Zhou Yan has no interest in the real estate business, otherwise, he would not have spent millions on the studio and would have used it to buy a house.

In fact, there is real estate in the Zhou family's industry, but the scale is not large, it is a small fight, and it cannot be compared with Tomson at all.

"You don't have to be too attached to making money, don't you have me?"

"That's not good, I don't want to just be a vase at home, and when my property appreciates in the future, I'll invest in making a movie for you."

"Okay, then I'll rely on you from now on. In a few years I will retire, and you will support me. ”

"I promise to raise you for nothing."

……

The next day, the celebration party went very smoothly.

At the celebration banquet, everyone's faces were full of smiles, and this movie made all of them fame and fortune.

Not to mention the main creators, the other behind-the-scenes personnel also got bonuses one by one.

Xu Feng is a boss who is very willing to spend money, and the celebration banquet is not only about inviting everyone to have a meal, but also giving everyone bonuses, from top to bottom of the crew, everyone has it.

More than tens of thousands, less than thousands.

This money is a drizzle for Xu Feng, but for those ordinary workers, a bonus of more than 1,000 is equal to their wages for several months.

As an assistant to the director, Li Hong directly got more than 10,000 yuan, which is also the largest amount of money he has received so far.

The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit, what ideals are all false, only real money can most directly and effectively envelop people's hearts.

Now some people heard that Zhou Yan might have a new movie to make, so they began to inquire, and everyone wanted to participate in the production of the new movie. (End of chapter)
