After Zhou Yan and Shizuka Kudo came out of the video store, they entered the campus of Yanshi University.

For teachers like Zhou Yan, the status of Yan Normal University may be higher than those schools of Yan University, and Zhou Yan's first choice during the college entrance examination was the Chinese Department of Yan Normal University, but in the end he was not admitted and went to Jinshi.

But there is no regret, his level can't go to Yan Shi University, and it is normal to go to Jin Shi.

Walking around the campus, Shizuka Kudo was very happy.

She embraced nature with her arms outstretched, "I love this carefree feeling." ”

Zhou Yan smiled, Shizuka's Chinese level has been getting better and better recently, and she really has a bit of language talent in her.

"When a lot of people are in school, they always complain about too much schoolwork, and when they go out of school, they start to miss the freedom of school."

Shizuka Kudo said with a grin, "If you work, for a period of time, and after you have money, you can go to school, it will definitely be the best." ”

At this time, a little couple came over to meet them, you and I were talking, Kudo Shizuka chased them for a while, and suddenly turned her head and asked Zhou Yan, "If, the two of us, in the same school, I am not a singer, you are not a musician, they are just ordinary students, you meet me, will you still like me?" ”

Zhou Yan found that women really like to ask hypothetical questions.

This question itself is problematic, as Kudo Shizuka looks like this, can she be an ordinary student? As for Zhou Yan himself, if he is an ordinary student, not to mention his appearance, first of all, his musical talent will be removed, in this case, can Shizuka Kudo still like him?

Zhou Yan thought for a while and said, "Whether I like you or not depends on whether you like me." ”

He threw the question back to Shizuka Kudo, but this was actually his true thoughts, if it wasn't for Shizuka Kudo taking the initiative before, there was a high probability that they wouldn't have anything to do with it.

In terms of feelings, he is passive.

Hearing this answer, Shizuka Kudo was a little crazy, "Ah, you can't do this. ”

Zhou Yan smiled and grabbed Kudo Shizuka's palm, and said with a smile, "Then let me ask you a question." ”

Shizuka Kudo looked up at him, "You ask." ”

"If my mother and I fall into the water at the same time, and you stand by the river, who will you save first?"

Shizuka Kudo was stunned for a moment, what is this called a problem? Did I do something wrong, my mother and my boyfriend are going to fall into the water together?

She frowned and thought for a moment, "But, I can't swim." ”

"Suppose you know how to swim."

"However, my mother can swim and doesn't need me to save you, so I can save you"

"Let's say, your mother can't swim."

"Then I can find ......"

"Suppose there is no one else on the shore but you."

“……”

Zhou Yan blocked back what she wanted to say.

Seeing Shizuka Kudo's stunned appearance, Zhou Yan was secretly proud, but fortunately he preemptively asked this classic question.

After Shizuka Kudo was defeated, she pouted and said, "How did you come up with such a problem?" ”

Zhou Yan said with a smile, "This is not what I think, it is what Hua Jinzi thinks." ”

"Who's Hanajin?"

"It's Jiao Daxing's wife."

"Who is Jiao Daxing?"

"A friend of mine."

"Your friend's wife...... What really stakes. Kudo Shizuka thought about it for a long time, and then she thought of this adjective: "Her name is like a neon man." ”

"I'll have time to get to know her."

Hearing that Zhou Yan was going to take him to meet his friend, Shizuka Kudo was very happy, "Okay." ”

Shizuka Kudo is happy, she walks and jumps, she is the same age as Zhou Yan, but her personality is still a little girl, and she is very active.

Zhou Yan originally thought that he would quietly walk around the school with Shizuka Kudo and enjoy his leisure time after an afternoon.

Today, the temperature was relatively low, but the sun was good, making it perfect for walking.

Kudo Shizuka has a static character in her name, but she can't be quiet at all, and she has to join in the fun when she sees anything.

There are people in the school who play roller skating, and she wants to go and see them, and there are people who play chess, and she wants to go and see them.

She didn't even know how to play chess, but she could watch it with relish for ten minutes.

The key is that she also likes to chat, and people can talk to people when they play chess.

Zhou Yan couldn't help but sigh that it was not unreasonable for her Chinese to improve so quickly.

Fortunately, she is not well-known in Chinese mainland now, otherwise with her high-intensity contact with the crowd, no matter how big a hat she wears or how thick a scarf, she is easy to be recognized.

Zhou Yan has been following Kudo Shizuka, just watching her talk to others, and she doesn't speak herself, the possibility of her being recognized here is still very high, be careful.

If he was here alone, he would be recognized if he was recognized, but if he was recognized with Shizuka, it would not end well.

After coming out of Yan Normal University, the two went to the cinema again, originally wanting to find out if there were any love movies to see, but the love movies were not found, and Zhou Yan found that there were still shows in "Alive".

"Alive" was released in the mainland in the summer, and it has been half a year, but it is normal for old movies to be shown in cinemas, because there are not many new movies that can be released.

Anyway, the copies have already been bought, and the cinema will not let it go.

Zhou Yan pointed to "Alive" on the bulletin board and said to Shizuka Kudo, "The original author of this movie is Yu Hua." ”

Shizuka Kudo is now quite familiar with Yu Hua, not only have they met, she also bought the Chinese version of "Zhou Yan, Yu Hua, Shi Tiesheng", but the book is still in her suitcase and she has not read it.

With her current level of Chinese, she can't read smoothly.

Hearing that "Alive" was adapted by Yu Hua, Shizuka Kudo said with great interest, "Then let's watch this." ”

"Are you sure?"

"Sure, what's wrong, isn't it pretty?"

"It's good, "Alive" is a very humorous film."

Zhou Yan didn't want to deceive Shizuka Kudo, he really thought "Alive" was humorous.

It's not that the story of "Alive" is humorous, but that Yu Hua's writing style is humorous, but it's just that kind of black humor.

People often use absurdity to describe "Alive", but it is absurd and humorous at the same time, and there are many plots in it that are designed to make people feel funny.

For example, Fugui likes to let JN carry him on his back, and he has to salute his father-in-law when he passes by his tailor's shop.

For example, the production team asked a feng shui master to order a house and "boil" steel with water.

And the funniest thing is naturally the part where Fugui was pulled by the Kuomintang and surrounded on the battlefield, and its level of black humor is not inferior to Zhang Jianya's "Sanmao in the Army".

"I'm the most humorous movie, let's go see it."

Zhou Yan nodded, "Okay, I'll go and pull the ticket." ”

……

Two hours later, Shizuka Kudo walked out of the theater in a daze.

Zhou Yan had a black face and kept touching his right arm.

When watching the movie just now, Shizuka Kudo pinched his triceps from time to time, and he suspected that his arm was already green.

knew that Shizuka Kudo reacted so much, so Zhou Yan didn't take her to watch "Alive", and it was he who suffered.

Of course, this account must be recorded on Yu Hua's head.

"You lied to me, you lied to me, such a miserable story, you tell me humor." Shizuka Kudo kept complaining about Zhou Yan.

When she entered the cinema, she was still elated, but she didn't expect the movie to be so miserable, and when Youqing died, she burst into tears.

Zhou Yan said seriously, "Actually, you have to be humorous." ”

In fact, even worse.

In the movie, Youqing was sleeping behind the wall, and Chunsheng reversed and knocked down the wall, killing Youqing to death.

But inside, Youqing was drawn alive and bloodied to death.

In fact, it is not miserable, not that there is a difference in the way of death, but inside, Yu Hua, this guy laid the foreshadowing before Youqing's death, saying that Youqing is a good runner and runs first in school.

So when I went to the county magistrate's wife, Youqing was also the fastest runner and the first to arrive.

This kind of foreshadowing, like a flying knife outside the sky, hurts the most to kill.

And this time, in the face of Zhou Yan's flickering, Shizuka Kudo didn't believe it at all.

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it."

Seeing that Shizuka Kudo was still depressed, Zhou Yan laughed again, "Don't be sad, I'll take you to see Yu Hua in two days, and you spit two mouthfuls at him to relieve your anger." ”

"Oh, it's disgusting." Shizuka Kudo looked disgusted.

Zhou Yan took her hand, "Let's go, take you to dinner." ”

"I'm going to eat miscellaneous ......"

As soon as she said a miscellaneous word, Zhou Yan hurriedly said, "What to eat tonight, listen to me." ”

Mixed sauce noodles are good, but you can't eat them every day.

And Zhou Yan was already working out, and the mixed sauce noodles were not very friendly to muscles.

In the evening, Zhou Yan took Shizuka Kudo to eat copper pot shabu-shabu and replenished the protein fiercely.

After that, the two didn't wander around outside, and Zhou Yan sent Shizuka Kudo back to the hotel.

Shizuka Kudo booked a suite at the Asahi Wind Hotel, which was quite spacious, and Shizuka Kudo said that she stayed in this room every time she came over.

The room faces south, the sun is very good, and standing in this room, you can also see the alley where Zhou Yan lives.

After a day of shopping, Zhou Yan was also tired, so he turned on the TV and sat on the sofa to watch TV.

Shizuka Kudo was a spiritual chick outside, and when she came back, her strength suddenly dispersed and shrunk in Zhou Yan's arms like a cat.

"I'll lie down for a while, and I'll take a shower later."

"Well, you can rest."

Zhou Yan straightened Kudo Shizuka's head, and then turned down the sound of the TV again.

Shizuka Kudo was indeed tired of shopping today, and not long after she finished speaking, she fell asleep.

After about ten minutes, Shizuka Kudo not only didn't wake up, but fell asleep more and more, and it was awkward to see her sleeping like this, so Zhou Yan picked her up horizontally and sent her to the bed.

After sending Shizuka Kudo to bed, Zhou Yan went back to the living room to watch TV.

Yanjing TV is broadcasting Zheng Shaoqiu and Zhao Yazhi's "Joking about Qianlong", this TV series should not be the first time it has been broadcast on Yanjing Channel, Zhou Yan has watched it on Yanjing Channel before.

Zhou Yan rarely watches TV, and he is usually busy with work most of the time, so he doesn't have time to turn on the TV at all.

Speaking of which, the TV he watches is basically watched with Wang Zuxian, and now there is a TV partner like Shizuka Kudo.

It was only when he was with them that he could stop and leave his work behind for a while.

When there is nothing to do, this kind of old-fashioned TV series can indeed pass the time.

When Zhou Yan finished watching an episode and was about to change the channel to see if there was anything else to look at, the BP machine in his pocket rang.

Zhou Yan took it out and looked at it, it read: Hello Zhou Yan, I am An Li, if you have time, please reply.

It is followed by a string of phone numbers, still American.

Seeing the word An Li, Zhou Yan was quite surprised, he didn't understand why An Li suddenly came to him.

As a Chinese director who has won two Oscars for Best Director, An Li is not only well-known in China, but also has a lot of weight internationally.

However, the current An Li is still in a state that has just started.

It has only been three years since An Lee's first independently directed feature film "Pushing Hands" was released.

But An Lee's second feature film, The Wedding Banquet, has won numerous awards at home and abroad, the most notable of which is naturally the Golden Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival.

An Li definitely belongs to the kind of director who is very explosive when he debuts, and for most people in the film industry, An Li is like a sudden pop out.

This is very similar to Zhou Yan.

Although Zhou Yan's two movies did not win any awards, the box office made many people envious, and it was also very explosive.

Zhou Yan couldn't understand why An Li contacted him, but he didn't mind talking to An Li.

Xufeng Hotel has the qualifications to receive foreign guests, and the phone in the suite should be able to make international calls, so Zhou Yan walked over and picked up the phone and tried it, and sure enough, it was through.

The response time for international calls was relatively long, and it took a while for the phone to be picked up.

"Hey, this is An Lee." An Lee's voice came from the other side, in English.

Zhou Yan responded with a smile in Chinese, "Director An, hello, I'm Zhou Yan." ”

Hearing that it was Zhou Yan, An Li was very happy and also replied in Chinese, "Hello Director Zhou, I am very presumptuous to disturb you, it should not be too early for Yanjing to do so now." ”

"It's not too late." Zhou Yan smiled, and then went straight in, "I don't know what Director An is looking for me?" ”

"I got your contact information through Director Hou Xiaoxian, you have worked together many times before, so you should be familiar with each other, so I asked him to try, and sure enough, I got it from him." An Li explained where his contact information came from, and then began to explain his intention, "That's how Director Zhou, I have a movie to start filming in May next year, and I want to invite you to be the soundtrack of the movie." ”

"The soundtrack? Are your films going to be made in China? ”

"No, if there is no accident, I should go to the UK to shoot. The film is based on Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility of the same name. ”

Hearing that it was "Sense and Sensibility", Zhou Yan became a little interested.

Jane Austen is arguably the most recognizable female writer in history, and it's hard to find another female writer who is internationally recognizable.

Even if the three Brontë sisters are tied to Duras, their fame is estimated to be less than Jane Austen alone.

Jane Austen's number of works is actually not much, but one "Pride and Prejudice" is too strong. (End of chapter)
