Zhou Yan and Shizuka Kudo didn't eat, and went to the cafeteria to have a meal.

In the afternoon, Shizuka Kudo and the others went to the big studio to watch the recording of the album arrangement, and Zhou Yan wrote the score and lyrics of "Little Hands Holding Big Hands" in his office, after all, it was a borrowed song, so it was not difficult to write.

It's just that when he wrote, Zhou Yan was always distracted, and the picture of Shizuka Kudo wearing his white shirt and looking at him with burning eyes always appeared in his mind.

At about three o'clock, there was a knock on the door, and Zhou Yan shouted, "Come in." ”

Pushing the door in, it was Ma Shuguo who came over with two test papers, "Teacher Zhou, this is the test paper for Haining two days ago." You haven't been there for the past two days, and I haven't shown it to you. ”

Zhou Yan nodded and took the test paper.

He first glanced at the scores on the two test papers, one with 42 points and the other with 36 points, which were some distance from the passing line.

Ma Shuguo also scratched his head, "The first time I came out of the test paper, I didn't control the difficulty. ”

When Zhou Yan asked him to teach Li Haining their music theory before, he said that the difficulty of the test paper should be controlled to about 60 points, but he obviously made it more difficult for them to get out of the paper.

"It's fine."

Zhou Yan looked at the content of the test paper again, in fact, the test was already very simple, let Zhou Yan out, he didn't know how to reduce the difficulty of the exam, and then reduce the difficulty, maybe the test was not music-related things.

There's even a fill-in-the-blank question: The keys of the piano have two colors, one is _color and the other is _color_.

This kind of question is completely a scoring question.

Fortunately, neither of them did anything wrong in this kind of question.

As for the question of the four properties of sound, they couldn't do it all, Xia Guobao filled in the pitch and timbre, and got two right, while Li Haining filled in the pitch, timbre, and pitch strength, and got three right.

There are also simple questions such as sound names and roll calls, and they didn't get it right.

Plus, the words of both kids are too ugly.

Zhou Yan does not have high requirements for students' handwriting, but it must be neat.

Xia Guobao's words are better, although they are crooked, they are also written stroke by stroke, while Li Haining's words are very sloppy, and many words need to be carefully identified to know what they are.

After reading all the questions, Zhou Yan handed the test paper back to Ma Shuguo, "It's okay, just follow this difficulty next time." ”

"Okay, I see." Equestrian nodded.

"How is their attitude towards learning?" Zhou Yan asked again.

Ma Shuguo pushed his glasses, "Their learning attitude is quite good, some of them are unexpected, although they didn't pass this time, they are very disappointed, but they are still very motivated, when I came over, they were reading the textbook, I estimated, if the next time there is a question of the same difficulty, they should be able to pass." ”

"Oh, by the way, the weirdest thing is that they didn't even talk about learning songs."

This is what makes Ma Shuguo the most confused, before Li Haining and Xia Guobao were arguing every day to learn songs, after "Let's Swing the Sculls" passed, they were clamoring to learn the next song that day, but now they don't talk about it.

Zhou Yan smiled, Ma Shuguo didn't know, but he understood what the reason was.

Li Haining and the others also know that if they fail the exam, they will also be deducted money if they learn to sing, so it is better to put their minds on the exam first, so that they can get forty yuan for a song later.

These two boys, the abacus is okay.

"You don't have to worry about this, as long as they are willing to learn, you can teach it well. If they have words they don't recognize, you can teach them a word as well. Also, don't just teach them the basics, you can also tell them some history of music, I don't think you have any relevant content in this set of papers. ”

Ma Shuguo nodded, "I'm actually going to add a little bit of this content to them, and I found that they are also quite interested in these things, so I will listen to them as stories." ”

"It's not enough to just listen to the story, but you have to give them a test later."

"Understood."

After Ma Shuguo left, Zhou Yan called Xiao Can again.

"Brother Xiao, in the past two days, contact the local children's choirs in Yanjing that I listed for you before, and let's take a look at it sometime."

"Okay, I'll get in touch right away, do you want to get in touch with choirs from other places?"

"Come one by one, don't rush yet."

"Well, I understand, Director Zhou."

"How's the framing, has Lou Ye contacted you?"

The framing was arranged for Lou Ye to do, but Lou Ye generally did not report directly to Zhou Yan, either to Wang Xiaoshuai or Xiao Can.

"There has been no progress in this matter, I heard Lou Ye say that he has run to four or five places, and none of them are suitable. If there is a suitable place, he should be the first to let us know. ”

"How many places haven't you seen?"

"There should be seven or eight more."

"Tell Lou Ye, no matter if you can finish these seven or eight places, come back and report to me within ten days. The framing thing can't be postponed any longer, we really can't find a ready-made place, so we have to build it ourselves quickly. ”

If you build it yourself, it's easier to shoot the scene, just find a country house.

Seeing that the weather is getting colder and colder, if this matter is not given as soon as possible, it is very likely that it will be delayed until next year, and it will definitely affect the start-up time at that time.

As for building a house, Zhou Yan doesn't have to worry about it, Tomson Group is engaged in real estate, and building a prison-style school is not a difficult thing for them, and Tomson can help transfer the team at any time.

You don't have to worry about the formalities, Tomson will also help you do it.

In fact, the construction of a house in this year is not strictly managed, and it can be cut first and then played.

"Okay, Director Zhou, I will convey your words to Lou Ye." Xiao Can paused, and then said, "There is something I don't know if I should tell you or not." ”

"Well, you say, whatever."

"Director Han met me yesterday and asked a few words about the heroine of the movie."

"Heroine, do we have a heroine in this play...... Is he asking Lin Ai's mother, Lin Lin? ”

"Yes."

"How do you ask?"

"Just ask us if the heroine is decided, I told the truth, and the other Han directors didn't ask anything."

Zhou Yan groaned, it was impossible for Han Sanping to ask this for no reason, there must be something in mind.

This old brother too, if you really have any ideas, just come to yourself directly, and ask Xiao Can. Between them, there is no need for Xiao Can to talk.

"Okay, I got it."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yan didn't think about Han Sanping anymore, as long as Han Sanping didn't come to him, he shouldn't have heard about it. Moreover, maybe Han Sanping really asked casually.

After talking to Ma Shuguo, he began to continue to write the score and lyrics of "Little Hands Holding Big Hands", this time he was much more attentive and faster.

At five o'clock, Zhou Yan wrote the score and lyrics, not only writing the melody score, but also writing part of the score of the arrangement by the way.

The arrangement of this song is simple, and it is simple to write.

Zhou Yan had just put down the score and stretched, when someone knocked on the door outside.

"Come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened a crack, and Shizuka Kudo's head stuck in.

"Are you busy?"

"I'm done, what's the matter?"

"It's time to eat."

After saying that, Shizuka Kudo closed the door and ran.

When I went to the cafeteria to eat, many people in the orchestra were there, and Nangong Songzi was also there, and she also confirmed the song with Zhou Yan, "Mr. Zhou Yan, what time is it appropriate for us to come over tomorrow morning?" ”

Zhou Yan thought for a while and said, "Between nine and ten o'clock." ”

"Okay, we'll be there on time tomorrow." After speaking, Nangong Matsuko glanced at Shizuka Kudo again, she felt a little strange, why did Shizuka talk so little today.

Every time she met Zhou Yan before, whether it was eating or practicing in the practice room, Shizuka would talk a lot to Zhou Yan, and her Chinese could improve so quickly, thanks to the fact that she said so many words.

But that's fine, every time Shizuka says so much, she wants to cover Shizuka's mouth.

……

At half past nine in the morning of the next day, when Zhou Yan arrived at the studio, Shizuka Kudo and the others had already arrived.

"Waited a while, didn't you?"

Nangong Songzi was also quite polite, and said with a smile, "No, we have only arrived for a short time." ”

Shizuka Kudo muttered, "It's been more than half an hour." ”

She said this in neon language, and the accompanying translator did not translate this sentence, Zhou Yan couldn't understand it, but he could feel her little emotions from her expression.

"Something happened in the morning, so I was a little late." Zhou Yan explained simply.

Hearing Zhou Yan's explanation, Nangong Songzi was quite surprised, don't look at Zhou Yan's usual politeness, "I'm sorry", "I'm sorry" He often says this kind of thing, but basically he won't explain anything to anyone.

It seems that during this period of getting along, their relationship with Zhou Yan has also taken a step further.

"It's okay, it's okay, you're talking about nine to ten o'clock, it's not too late."

Zhou Yan nodded, "You go to the No. 1 practice room and wait for me, I'll go over in a while." ”

"No problem."

Then Nangong Matsuko took Shizuka Kudo to the No. 1 practice room, while Zhou Yan went to the office to get the score and lyrics.

However, he didn't rush to the practice room, but called Huo Jianqi.

At eight o'clock, Zhou Yan was about to leave, but suddenly received a call from Han Sanping.

When he received a call from Han Sanping, Zhou Yan had a hunch that he was going to ask about the heroine, and sure enough, he called to ask Zhou Yan if he had set the heroine.

Since Han Sanping called, there must be someone who wants to recommend, and Zhou Yan didn't go around the bush, and directly asked him which actress he wanted to recommend.

And the actress recommended by Han Sanping also surprised Zhou Yan, it turned out to be Zhu Lin.

Zhou Yan doesn't know much about Zhu Lin, but remembers that she played the king of her daughter's country.

Zhu Lin's role as the king of the daughter country is really amazing, but the other roles did not leave any impression on Zhou Yan, and even Zhou Yan can't remember whether Zhu Lin has acted in a movie.

Zhu Lin is an actor in Emei Factory, and it is normal for Han Sanping to know her, but Han Sanping will deliberately find herself for her, which Zhou Yan did not expect.

In fact, Zhu Lin's age is no problem, she is just in her early forties, which is in line with Lin Lin's role, but whether she can be qualified for the role of Lin Lin, Zhou Yan is not sure.

The gap between ancient costumes and fashion, TV series and movies is very large, Zhu Lin is very good at playing the king of the daughter country, and she may not be able to play Lin Lin.

However, Han Sanping didn't want to say that he had to let Zhou Yan use Zhu Lin, he only said that he should let Zhou Yan think about it and give him a chance.

Regarding Han Sanping's request, Zhou Yan also readily agreed, giving Zhu Lin a chance to audition, it was nothing to him, and there was no problem with public or private.

After talking to Han Sanping on the phone, Zhou Yan called Huo Jianqi, who was in charge of casting, but no one answered, probably Huo Jianqi had not yet arrived at his post, so when he came to the studio, he dialed Huo Jianqi's phone again.

This time the call was quickly picked up, and Huo Jianqi's voice came from the microphone, "Hey, hello." ”

"Director Huo, it's me."

Huo Jianqi recognized Zhou Yan's voice, "Oh, Director Zhou, is there something wrong?" ”

"After a while, you can contact Zhu Lin from Emei Factory and ask her to come to Yanjing for an audition."

"Let her audition Lin Lin?"

There are not many female characters in "The Spring of the Cattle Herding Class", Huo Jianqi immediately thought of Lin Lin, and the other female characters Zhou Yan didn't seem to need to explain it.

"Well, it's Lin Lin."

"Contact her just one, or contact a few more to audition together?"

"Do you have any other candidates over there?"

"There are a few, the doorman Lao Ge, the former superintendent Wang Guorui, and the teacher Tao Yong......"

"If someone is chosen, call them all together and arrange auditions collectively."

"Okay, I'll contact them right away, when is the right time?"

Zhou Yan thought about it, today Friday, this Sunday will definitely not work, it is difficult to catch up if you are far away.

"Next Sunday."

"No problem."

With Huo Jianqi on the phone, Zhou Yan took the score and lyrics to the practice room.

When he arrived at the place, Shizuka Kudo sat in front of the piano and played the first two lines of the chorus part of "Little Hands Holding Big Hands", playing back and forth.

Nangong Songzi knew that this was the melody of the new song, and kept asking her to play a little more, but she would only play these two sentences.

In fact, it can only be counted as one sentence, because the sound of these two sentences is exactly the same, but the lyrics are different.

The reason why she kept playing it was because she played it casually, but she didn't tell Nangong Songzi about it, and regarded it as a secret between her and Zhou Yan.

Seeing Zhou Yan coming, Nangong Songzi breathed a sigh of relief, she always listened to Shizuka's words, and she felt that her ears were about to become calloused.

"I'll play the melody for you first."

Zhou Yan walked to the piano, and Shizuka Kudo also stood up consciously and gave up the piano bench to Zhou Yan.

Then Zhou Yan played the melody of "Little Hands Holding Big Hands" on the piano.

When Zhou Yan finished playing the main song and the chorus melody for the first time, Nangong Matsuko breathed a long sigh of relief, she had heard Shizuka Kudo play that sentence all the time, and she was afraid that this song would not work.

The sentence that Kudo Shizuka played, it's not that it's bad, it's just too simple, so simple that Nangong Matsuko doubts whether it's really in Zhou Yan's new song.

But after listening to Zhou Yan's playing, she found that this song was by no means what Shizuka Kudo showed. The whole song is simple, but it's very audible.

This song is very different from the style of "The First Dream", the tune is relaxed and lively, and there is a feeling of a girl's nostalgia.

Shizuka Kudo didn't have a similar song before, but Nangong Matsuko was not worried that this song was not suitable for Shizuka Kudo, she believed that Shizuka Kudo must be good at singing this song.

I have to say that Zhou Yan really understands what the listeners like, especially the neon listeners, this song will definitely be loved by the majority of neon listeners.

Before, Oki Productions was so optimistic about "The First Dreamland" because the song was positive and emotional, which is very suitable for the current neon society, and the current neon listeners like this kind of song.

And now Zhou Yan's new song, although it is not the kind of high-pitched, is very sweet and light, and when the economy is bad, people like this kind of song.

After playing the melody, Zhou Yan took Shizuka Kudo to learn the lyrics.

"I still remember the fireworks at that concert, and I still remember the cool late autumn."

This sentence was sung by Zhou Yan, and Shizuka Kudo suddenly pulled the corners of her mouth and laughed, "You are not allowed to sing." ”

Hearing Shizuka Kudo say that he couldn't sing accurately, Zhou Yan was also a little embarrassed, because what this girl said was the truth, if he just hummed, the pitch could be controlled well, but it was easy to make mistakes when he opened his mouth to sing.

He only has a good pair of ears, but he doesn't have a good voice. He knew how high each note should be, but he couldn't control it.

After listening to the translation, Nangong Songzi also scratched her eyebrows, and she didn't dare to laugh if she wanted to.

No wonder the last time Zhou Yan took Shizuka Kudo to read the lyrics of "The First Dream", it turned out to be because he didn't sing well.

Hearing Zhou Yan's inaccurate singing, Nangong Songzi felt that it was very good, Zhou Yan's previous image was too perfect, and it always felt unreal. There is a little flaw, but it makes people feel real.

was said by Kudo Shizuka, Zhou Yan didn't sing anymore, and began to take Kudo Shizuka through the lyrics in a continuous reading and humming way.

This time, Zhou Yan was also more serious than last time, and every sentence was taught in place. Shizuka Kudo's Chinese level has also improved a lot compared to last time, and she has to learn faster.

Nangong Songzi saw that they were very attentive to teaching and learning, and there was no matter between her and the translator, so she took the translator out of the practice room, and did not bother Zhou Yan and them, she was also in a hurry to contact the company and explain the situation.

After leaving the practice room, Nangong Songzi talked to the company's leaders on the phone and reported the situation of the new song to the leaders.

"Minister, do you need me to send the sample back to the company for evaluation?"

"No, just record it, and when you come back, just bring back the finished album."

"Okay, I'll talk to Zhou Yan's agent about licensing here."

"The concert will be implemented as soon as possible."

"I'll do it as soon as possible, the formalities here are a bit troublesome."

"When necessary, you can ask Zhou Yan's agent to help, they should have some energy over there."

"Okay, I see."
