Zhou Yan is naturally familiar with "Sense and Sensibility", but he has not seen the movie version.

Therefore, An Lee's work, for Zhou Yan, the workload must be greater than that of other movies, and he must be familiar with the movie first. Without the original movie's soundtrack as a reference, he had to do it all by himself.

If it is filmed in China, Zhou Yan does not have to worry too much, and it is very convenient to work, but if the filming location is in the UK, it will be a lot of trouble.

After a moment of silence, Zhou Yan spoke, "Director An, when I shoot, maybe I-"

Zhou Yan was just halfway through his words, An Li suddenly spoke again, "Director Zhou, the soundtrack is the only position I can decide. ”

Sole?

Zhou Yan was stunned for a moment, as a director, is An Li's authority only this?

Although Hollywood's directors are not as authorized as Chinese mainland, but it is not like this, and An Li is not a rookie, Colombia is so strong?

What Zhou Yan didn't know was that even the power to choose the soundtrack was earned by An Lee.

When Columbia handed over the script of "Sense and Sensibility" to An Lee, it had actually selected most of the people.

The main actors, screenwriters, and cinematographers - it can be said that the shooting team has been set up in advance, and then An Li was asked to be a big housekeeper to manage the team.

Hollywood major league movies are very industrialized, and in the shooting process of many movies, the director does not play a big role, and sometimes if a big-name producer is hired, the director may only be an executive role.

Unlike Chinese mainland, where most films have very much power, the director has a lot of power.

Ordinary directors can say that what decision they make depends on the producer's face, but like Chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou, and Zhou Yan himself, as long as they make a movie, the crew can be said to be their word.

Whether it's a producer or a producer, the most they can do is to give their opinions on the side.

Even Xu Feng, when cooperating with Chen Kaige, there was no way to influence Chen Kaige's decision, her opinion, Chen Kaige listened to it okay, if Chen Kaige didn't listen, Xu Feng really had nothing to do, at most he would withdraw his investment, and then break up in two.

Ahn Lee is also working with a major league for the first time to make a movie, and he knows how difficult it is, so he must fight to establish his authority in the crew.

If you want to establish authority, it's best to have someone to help.

He can't change the rest of the production team if he wants to, if it's just an ordinary staff, it's useless to change, thinking about it, An Li put his goal on the soundtrack.

And the reason why Zhou Yan comes to mind is also because "Flying Piano Boy" performed very well at the box office in Europe and the United States.

An Li didn't have anything to do with a very good soundtrack, so Zhou Yan was a very good choice.

And Colombia was able to agree to An Lee's request because "The Flying Piano Boy" was very good at the box office, and the soundtrack in it was also very impressive.

Besides, the soundtrack, the work is mainly focused on post-production, which has little impact on the filming.

Zhou Yan thought for a while and said, "When you are filming the movie, I can go there once or twice at most, and when the film is post-production, I will go again at most." No more, my own film will start next spring. ”

Hearing Zhou Yan say this, An Li said with a smile, "That's no problem, as long as you come three times, in fact, it depends on the presentation of the work in the end." If there are no other questions, I'll ask Colombia to talk to you about the pay and the shares. ”

"Just let them go to Tomson."

"Understand, when the cooperation is finalized, I will have someone send you a copy of the script. By the way, have you seen "Sense and Sensibility"? ”

"Well, I've seen it, I've basically read Jane Austen's works, "Sense and Sensibility" is Austen's first one, but the realism in it is very mature."

An Li sighed, "You really have a lot of research on literature, to be honest, I haven't read any of Jane Austen before this, and in my mind, Jane Austen is just a name." ”

"It's normal, many people haven't even heard her name. There are so many well-known books in the world that I can't read them at all. ”

"Thank you for your comfort, and I look forward to cooperating with you, I can't tell you too much about the rest for the time being, there are a lot of rules for filming in the big leagues. I certainly can't go to China anytime soon, so we probably have to wait until you go to the UK. ”

Zhou Yan nodded, "I understand, then I'll see you in the UK." ”

"Okay, I won't disturb your rest, and we'll talk later."

"Well, let's talk about it."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yan recalled the storyline of "Sense and Sensibility".

To be honest, if he had to choose, he would definitely not make this kind of movie, even if it was a masterpiece, but in terms of soundtrack, he would be quite interested.

And this is also his attempt to enter Europe and the United States, before Olivier's remake of "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly", which was a good attempt.

But there are very few opportunities like that, and he has made a few movies in total, even if all of them are remade, there are not many.

The soundtrack is different, if the soundtrack of "Sense and Sensibility" is done well this time, he should be able to receive the soundtrack work of other European and American films later.

Zhou Yan doesn't have the book "Sense and Sensibility" at home, he plans to go to the bookstore tomorrow to buy a copy, go back and study it carefully, and prepare in advance.

Just when Zhou Yan turned his head and was about to continue watching TV, he saw Shizuka Kudo leaning against the door frame of the living room, rubbing his eyes sleepily.

"Did anyone call you?"

"A director comes to me to talk about work." Zhou Yan smiled, "Woke you up?" ”

"How long have I been sleeping?"

"More than an hour."

Hearing that she had slept for more than an hour, Shizuka Kudo pouted and said, "You didn't wake me up." ”

"I'm afraid you'll get up angry and pinch my arm again." Zhou Yan teased.

"You're holding a grudge."

"My arm is still hurting, you say I hold a grudge."

Shizuka Kudo snorted, "Ah, I have to go take a shower." ”

After saying that, she took her clothes and went to the bathroom.

"I'll help you."

"Don't-"

Shizuka Kudo wanted to close the door, but Zhou Yan's movements were too fast and he had already run in.

——

Early the next morning, when Zhou Yan woke up, he smelled a good smell.

This fragrance came out of Kudo Shizuka's hair, and Zhou Yan was holding Kudo Shizuka from behind, and the tip of his nose was buried in Shizuka's hair. (Revised)

Early in the morning, Xiao Zhouyan was inevitably ready to move. (Revised)

Just as Zhou Yan was about to score a second goal, there was a sudden knock on the door outside, and then there was a burst of neon words, listening to the sound, it should be Nangong Songzi.

Shizuka Kudo was also woken up by Nangong Matsuko's voice, and she replied in neon language, "It's here." ”

Then when she felt Xiao Zhou Yan who was holding her back, suddenly a spirit stirred and sat up.

She almost forgot that Zhou Yan spent the night with her last night, and if she was discovered by Songzi, it would be terrible.

"Hurry up and hide."

Immediately, Shizuka Kudo pulled up Zhou Yan, who was out of whacks, and pushed him into the closet, and then threw Zhou Yan's clothes and shoes into it together.

Zhou Yan stayed in the closet of the black hole, and the whole person was stunned.

He actually enjoyed the treatment of the old king next door.

Shizuka Kudo went to open the door for Nangong Matsuko, and the two chattered a few words, and then Zhou Yan heard the sound of the door closing.

After a while, Shizuka Kudo came to open the door of the closet, and before she could speak, Zhou Yan pulled her into the closet.

Zhou Yan pressed Shizuka Kudo against the back panel of the closet, spitting hot air in her ear, "It's good here, too." ”

——

Today, Shizuka Kudo was going to record the show, and Zhou Yan went to Yanjing Studio by himself.

He said yesterday that he was going to see the Yanjing factory, but because of the arrival of Shizuka Kudo, his plan was disrupted.

Originally, the preparations for "Spring of the Cattle Herding Class" were going on in an orderly manner, but now Zhou Yan is likely to take over the soundtrack of "Sense and Sensibility", so he thought about mentioning the preparatory work further, so as to avoid the rest of the work being crowded together.

After arriving at the Yanjing factory, Zhou Yan first went to Han Sanping's office.

The two understood a few words, and Han Sanping suddenly asked Zhou Yan, "Did you offend Director Xie?" ”

Zhou Yan was stunned, "Which Director Xie?" ”

There are many directors surnamed Xie, Xie Tieli, Xie Jin, Xie Fei, Xie Tian, Xie Yan - think about it, there are a few, not to mention other places, just Yanjing Factory, there are several Xie directors.

"Xie Fei."

"Xie Fei?" Zhou Yan frowned, "I haven't seen him before, why do you ask that, third brother?" ”

Among the fourth-generation directors, Xie Fei is definitely a representative figure, and he just won the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival last year, and he has a high status in the domestic film industry.

However, Xie Fei is a teacher at Yenching Film Academy and has no intersection with Zhou Yan, so Zhou Yan was very surprised when he heard Han Sanping ask this, he and Xie Fei have never even met, can they offend each other?

"There was a seminar the day before yesterday, which was still related to film reform, and Wang Junzheng mentioned you at the meeting, and Director Xie gave a bad evaluation."

"How?"

"First of all, I affirmed your contribution to the soundtrack, and then said that your "Sixth Sense" abuses the technique, imitates the Western filming technique too much, tells the story empty, and has no core content."

"What's the core content?" Zhou Yan asked again.

"Then he didn't say that."

Zhou Yan smiled, "I have the right to praise me, I am a cross-industry director, and it is not bad to be able to get the evaluation of 'abuse of techniques', at least it shows that I have skills." ”

Han Sanping also laughed when he heard Zhou Yan say this, "You are free and easy, but that's right, directing is not your main business in the first place." ”

Zhou Yan waved his hand, "This has nothing to do with whether the main business is the main business or not, even if Schubert and Beethoven crawl out of the soil to criticize me now, I won't be too sad." Xie Fei's words, although I don't agree with it very much, but his entry point is correct. I'm not a director of their type, they don't approve of me, that's normal. ”

"It's okay if he doesn't approve of you, but if you say it in public at the seminar, it will definitely have an impact on you. The reason why Wang Junzheng mentioned you is because there are ideas to support young directors, like you, Chen Kaige, and Zhang Yimou are all under consideration. ”

Han Sanping lit a cigarette, took a puff, and continued, "In this case, Xie Fei's evaluation will definitely affect other people's judgments. You really haven't offended Xie Fei? ”

Zhou Yan shook his head, "Not really." ”

Hearing Zhou Yan say this, Han Sanping didn't dwell on it anymore, "If you don't, you won't have it, I'm telling you about this is also a reminder for you, pay a little attention in the future, sometimes offend people, you may not know it yourself." ”

Then Han Sanping didn't say anything.

Zhou Yan's identity is not ordinary, and he is really not afraid of offending Xie Fei.

Maybe Zhou Yan really didn't offend Xie Fei, but Xie Fei is a bit of a big mouth, and he likes to say a few words about everything.

There are also some old people who are not used to seeing the back in and being too showy, which is also normal.

Zhou Yan is a layman, and he is only in his twenties, he has made two movies, both of which are big hits overseas, and some people will definitely be blushing

Young people will definitely be criticized when they are in the limelight, and many young directors have come over like this.

No matter what kind of circle, there are situations where seniority is discussed, but Zhou Yan is a special case, and he doesn't squeeze into the circle at all, and some people will definitely criticize this in private.

Well, isn't it disrespectful that you're eating a movie meal and don't want to get closer to the organization?

came out of Han Sanping's office, Zhou Yan went to the office of the crew of "Spring of the Cattle Herding Class" and exchanged details of the film preparation with Xiao Can and them.

When chatting about the same, Zhou Yan looked at the office, and then said, "In the past two days, you guys have cleaned up and moved to the studio, where the director's office has been set up." ”

Xiao Can smiled, "We've been preparing to move it, and there's nothing to pack, just some materials." ”

Zhou Yan told them about moving to the studio some time ago.

A few days after Building No. 3 was rented, Zhou Yan asked Hong Xin and them to move over first, although the Yanjing Factory arranged an office, the place was too small, and the staff of the crew were too crowded here.

However, the director's office hadn't been done yet, so let Xiao Can and them transition here for a while.

Xiao Can and they very much hope to move over, after all, it is Zhou Yan's territory, the office area is large, and the equipment is relatively new, although the functions are not as complete as the Yanjing factory, but all the equipment is only used by one of their crews, which is very convenient.

And the food in the studio's canteen is good, Xiao Can and they have eaten a few times, and they are full of praise.

Although the canteen of the Yanjing factory is also good, after all, there are so many people in the factory, it must be considered cost, it is impossible to arrange it too well, sometimes you have to go early, otherwise there will be no good dishes in the back.

Zhou Yan's studio is different, the canteen is very good, chicken, duck, meat and eggs are available, and there are no limits.

The studio is not far from the Yanjing Studio, and sometimes Huo Jianqi will ride to the studio when they have time at noon, just to have a meal. (End of chapter)
