After getting Yu Hua's new contact information, Gao Wei suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and the task assigned by the leader was finally half completed.

Under normal circumstances, the Writers' Association would definitely not be so eager to take the initiative to let a writer join the Writers' Association, but isn't this a special situation?

The collection of "Zhou Yan, Yu Hua, Shi Tiesheng" is popular in neon or not, Gao Wei doesn't know, but now the topic in China is really hot, and many people are saying that this wave of performance in the Chinese literary world is okay, and it has directly entered the neon market.

But in such a situation, the Writers' Association suddenly discovered that two of the three authors of the collection were not members of the Chinese Writers' Association.

Zhou Yan is okay, at least he joined the Su Provincial Writers' Association last year, and Yu Hua, who has been writing for so many years, has not joined any Writers' Association.

In fact, the matter of letting Yu Hua join the Writers' Association was mentioned by Wang Meng once last year.

The leaders of the Writers' Association held a meeting together, and when it came to the current young writers, Wang Meng mentioned Yu Hua, saying that young writers like Yu Hua have created many excellent works and should be actively drawn into the organization.

It's just that it was just small talk at the time, and there was no action on the part of the writers' association.

Now that such a situation has occurred, the Writers' Association can no longer take no action, so it hurriedly contacted Zhou Yan and Yu Hua and asked them to join the Chinese Writers' Association.

Otherwise, if this matter is said, there will be no place for them to put their face as a writer.

In fact, even if this matter does not occur, the Writers' Association will contact Zhou Yan and Yu Hua and ask them to join the Writers' Association, because a new Writers' Congress will be held next year or the year after.

Since it is a writers' congress, the writers' association also hopes to invite some writers with popular influence to participate. The Chinese Writers' Association is a people's writers' association, which naturally needs the participation of the people, and inviting well-known writers is a way to get closer to the general public.

In recent years, in the traditional literary world, there are not many writers with popular influence, except for those in Shaanxi Army.

After the golden period of the 80s, the popularity of literature among the people gradually declined, and the circle became smaller and smaller. Literature has gradually evolved from a popular art to a niche carnival, and the Writers' Association attaches great importance to this and hopes to reverse this situation.

In the past two years, writers who have become famous in the mass market have Mo Yan, Su Tong, Liu Zhenyun, Wang Anyi, and Yu Hua...... You can add a Zhou Yan later.

Zhou Yan is actually not active in the literary world, and there are not many works released in the first few years of his debut, but Zhou Yan's situation is special, and the writer is only one of his multiple identities, and it seems that musicians and directors are his main business.

There are not many writers who are active in the film and television industry, and in recent years, many writers have been involved in the film and television industry, not to mention the adaptation of works, like Mo Yan and Yu Hua, who are all writing scripts for film and television dramas.

Not to mention Wang Shuo's kind, he simply became his own boss and projected a film.

But when it comes to the influence of the film and television industry, Zhou Yan's influence is still better than Wang Shuo's.

No matter how popular Wang Shuo's TV series is, after all, it is still in China, and it is almost meaningless to say it, unlike Zhou Yan, who directly pinched overseas fans.

……

When Yu Hua received Gao Wei's call, he was also confused, he and the Writers' Association have always been well water and not river water, the Writers' Association does not look for him, and he does not take the initiative to enter the Writers' Association.

But soon he also understood that it was because of this collection that the Writers' Association would take the initiative to come to him.

Originally, Yu Hua was still a little hesitant, but when he heard that Zhou Yan had decided to fill in the form to join, he agreed.

In fact, Wang Meng told Yu Hua about this before, but Wang Meng only mentioned it at that time, and Yu Hua said thank you, Mr. Wang, and the matter passed like this.

It has been a long time in the middle, and neither side has mentioned this matter, and Yu Hua has almost forgotten about it.

"That's it, don't let your people run to two places, I'll go to Zhou Yan's studio tomorrow afternoon, and we'll fill out the form together when the time comes."

Hearing Yu Hua say this, Gao Wei smiled, "That's a good dare, thank you for the volume." ”

"It's nothing, anyway, I usually go to his place to listen to music."

……

In the afternoon of the next day, Yu Hua went to the studio, and the staff of the Writers' Association brought two forms to him and Zhou Yan to fill in.

The information on the form is very simple, almost just fill in the name, gender and age.

It stands to reason that if you want to join the Chinese Writers Association, you have to write an application for membership, but all these associations have exempted Zhou Yan and Yu Hua, and as soon as the application form is filled, the association will directly pass it.

After the staff of the writers' association left, Yu Hua joked, "You and I are also organized people." ”

Zhou Yan replied with a smile while looking at Li Haining's exam papers, "I'm different from you, I have been organized for a long time, and I was a member of the Soviet Provincial Writers Association before." ”

The reason why he joined the Su Provincial Writers Association was also because of Su Tong.

The Su Provincial Writers' Association contacted Zhou Yan through Su Tong and invited him to join, but at that time, he was also asked to fill out a form and passed.

"You should also be a member of the Music Association, right?" Yu Hua asked.

Zhou Yan nodded, "Yes." ”

At first, he was also an advanced Soviet Provincial Music Association, and when he later entered the Chinese Music Association, he didn't even fill in the form, and went in directly.

For Zhou Yan, the Music Association is completely different from the Writers' Association, and in the literary circle, Zhou Yan's connections are Yu Hua and several other writers and the editor of "Yenching Literature".

But the music association is completely different.

The chairman of this year's Music Association, Li Lianzhi, was previously the head of the Central Sound Working Group, and the honorary chairmen Lu Ji and He Luting both served as vice presidents of the Central Sound.

Among the vice chairmen, including Zhao Feng and Wu Zuqiang, more than half have studied or held positions in the central sound.

In the Music Association, Zhou Yan's connections can be said to be extremely strong, he has been mixed in the Music Association for two or three times, even if he doesn't do anything, he should be able to be a vice chairman.

Not surprisingly, in the next session, his senior brothers Wang Shiguang and Zhao Jiping should be able to serve as vice chairmen of the Music Association.

"Are you a member of the Directors Guild?" Yu Hua asked again.

Zhou Yan shook his head, "That's not it." ”

Yu Hua was quite surprised, "Why didn't you enter the Directors Guild?" ”

"I don't have the energy."

Yu Hua nodded, and didn't ask much, it is not unusual for Zhou Yan not to enter the Directors Association, just like he has not entered the Writers Association for so many years.

Although he joked that he was also organized, he felt that an organization like the Writers' Association was dispensable, and if it wasn't for Gao Wei from the Creation Department who called him specially, he wouldn't have anything to do with the Writers' Association.

……

That is, on the third day after Zhou Yan filled out the form of the writers' association, he received a call from Zhang Yimou.

Receiving Zhang Yimou's call, Zhou Yan was quite surprised.

"Director Zhang, didn't I rob your actor again?"

Zhang Yimou laughed, "That's not true, the main actors on my side have all been decided, and they are ready to start filming soon, you just want to grab it, but you can't grab it." ”

"You should have been busy lately, how do you have time to call me?" Zhou Yan wondered.

"I was also entrusted by others to be a lobbyist."

"Lobbyist?"

"Director Xie Tieli, president of the Film Directors Guild, let me ask you if you would like to join the association."

Zhou Yan pouted, why are the invitations of this association still piled up, they also came to talk about this because of this news?

He thought for a moment and said, "Director Zhang, I'm afraid I don't have the energy." ”

"Joining the association is just a name, and you don't have to do anything. I'm also the vice president of the association, so I don't have to do anything every day. ”

Of course, Zhou Yan understands this situation, he is reluctant to go to the Directors Guild because he has no good impression of the Directors Guild and does not want to go into troubled waters.

"Director Zhang, I'm still not going, you also know that making movies is not my main business, after this movie is filmed, I don't know if I will shoot it in the future, and there is no need to join the association. Although I don't have to do anything to enter the association, since I am a member of the association, I naturally have to contribute to the development of the association. ”

Zhang Yimou is not a fool, so he naturally knows that Zhou Yan must have other reasons, but it is difficult to say clearly, so he did not persuade again.

He was entrusted by Xie Tieli to act as a lobbyist, and even if he completed the task, as for whether Zhou Yan agreed or not, it had nothing to do with him.

"Since that's the case, I won't persuade you, my side of the movie is about to start shooting, and it is estimated that I won't be able to go to Yanjing for a while, if you have time, you might as well come over to visit the class."

"If I had the chance, I would definitely go over and learn."

"Okay, nothing else, we'll talk about it later."

"Okay, let's get back to it."

hung up Zhang Yimou's phone, Zhou Yan didn't think about the Directors Association anymore, and continued his work, Huo Jianqi sent another list of student actors, this time there were more than 100 people on the list, plus the previous list, a total of nearly 200 people.

Zhou Yan is now looking at the materials of these actors, and he is going to find a time to gather these student actors for a group audition.

A little more than an hour later, two men knocked on the office door.

"Come in." Zhou Yan raised his head and shouted.

It was the staff of Panasonic Electric who came, and they came to deal with Zhou Yan for advertising shooting this time.

After a period of negotiations, Zhou Yan not only agreed to serve as the global spokesperson of Panasonic, but also agreed to shoot an advertisement for them and make "Yellow" their brand advertising song.

Some time ago, Zhou Yan had already sent the script of the advertisement to Panasonic, and they all thought that the advertisement was very good, so they decided to start shooting, and shoot the advertisement before the Chinese New Year, and then put it on.

After all, the Chinese New Year is the peak season for TV sales, at least in China.

"Mr. Zhou Yan, there are two versions of this advertisement, one is fifteen seconds and the other is thirty seconds, which has been confirmed with you on the phone in advance." Ryosuke Kawabata said.

Zhou Yan nodded, "Well, it's been confirmed, a condensed version, and an extended version." ”

"There are a total of two actors in this commercial, one is you, and the other is chosen by us, you have no doubt about this, right?"

"No, have you chosen your cast?"

The advertising script designed by Zhou Yan for Panasonic this time is very simple, only two actors are needed, a man and a woman, the man is naturally him, and the woman is found by Panasonic himself.

"Well, it's already chosen." Ryosuke Kawabata smiled, "It's still Mr. Zhou Yan's acquaintance." ”

"My acquaintance?" Zhou Yan looked puzzled, "Who?" ”

"Miss Chen Hong."

Hearing Chen Hong's name, Zhou Yan narrowed his eyes, "Is it necessary to invite another star?" ”

Zhou Yan doesn't think that the female character in this advertisement still needs to hire a star, and it is completely possible to find an ordinary person or a model.

Find another star, and it will cost you an extra penny.

And Zhou Yan was also a little surprised, Chen Hong was an actor of the Zhou family after all, and he didn't know about it.

Ryosuke Kawabata explained with a smile, "We originally chose a few actresses, but we didn't think they were good, and in the end, after discussion, we still felt that we should find an actress who was somewhat famous." Miss Chen Hong is a very suitable candidate, her appearance is very in line with the aesthetics of the neon audience, and she is also very familiar with you, it should be very easy to work together. ”

"You've already talked?"

"We are in contact with Miss Chen Hong now."

Hearing that they were still talking, Zhou Yan didn't speak.

If it weren't for what happened in Yinchuan before, Zhou Yan would be quite willing to let Chen Hong act in this advertisement, which is a good opportunity for Chen Hong, not to mention anything else, at least to increase his income.

But with that incident, it will inevitably be embarrassing for the two to meet again now.

However, Zhou Yan couldn't say that he wouldn't let Chen Hong come.

Of course, maybe Chen Hong won't agree to this.

"Mr. Zhou Yan, are you satisfied with the casting?" Ryosuke Kawabata asked.

Zhou Yan smiled and waved his hand, "I said that I would let you decide, and I would not interfere." ”

Ryosuke Kawabata said politely, "Although it was agreed like this, after all, you are the director, and we still hope to be able to choose an actress that satisfies you." ”

"It's okay, you decide, when you're settled, just tell me. I'm ready to start filming at any time as soon as the actress is set. ”

Ryosuke Kawabata nodded, "I understand, I will implement this matter as soon as possible, and I will definitely not delay the progress of the advertising shooting." ”

……

In the evening of the same day, Xu Junrong called Zhou Yan and said that Panasonic invited Chen Hong to shoot an advertisement.

Xu Junrong seemed to have come to report the good news, and his tone revealed joy, "Teacher Zhou, it is a good opportunity for Chen Hong to cooperate with you this time." ”

"Have you told Chen Hong about this?" Zhou Yan asked.

"Of course."

"She agreed?"

Zhou Yan's words made Xu Junrong stunned, "Of course, what reason does she have to disagree?" Although it is only an advertisement, the salary given by Panasonic is very sincere. Not to mention living with less money and more money, she can still cooperate with you, she has no reason not to agree. ”

I heard that Chen Hong had agreed, and Zhou Yan didn't say anything, as long as Chen Hong didn't feel embarrassed, what was so embarrassing about him as a big man?

Besides, you have to show a little professionalism at this time.

"Okay, I got it."

"Teacher Zhou, look, can you ...... Chen Hong's role?"

Before Xu Junrong finished speaking, Zhou Yan knew what Xu Junrong meant, and he said indifferently, "Ten seconds of advertising, what scenes are not scenes, don't be foolish." ”

"Oh, okay, I know, anyway, it's right to let Chen Hong listen to you." Xu Junrong hurriedly said.
