After the little fat man called out "Zhou Yan", the classroom became lively.

"This is Senior Brother Zhou Yan?"

"It really is!"

"No wonder the violin plays so well."

"I just said that this teacher has a different temperament."

"Didn't you just say that this teacher is so fierce?"

“……”

Some of the students didn't react.

Is this Zhou Yan?

That legendary brother, that great musician Zhou Yan?

The series of things that happened tonight were so weird that many students felt a little unrealistic.

The students in the other classes next to them were still listening to the music carefully, but suddenly they heard the cheers that broke out here, and they were all a little strange, what was going on.

Someone heard shouting Zhou Yan here, but they would never have thought that Zhou Yan had really returned to school.

Tian Ping pressed his hand on the little fat man, "This classmate, restrain yourself." ”

Only then did the little fat man realize that he had lost his temper, and hurriedly sat down, but his eyes kept staring at Zhou Yan.

For the performance of the little fat man Qin Wei, his table mate was not surprised at all, because the classmates who were familiar with Qin Wei knew that Qin Wei was a loyal fan of Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan's music and film works, as long as they can be found on the market, Qin Wei will buy them.

Therefore, Qin Wei was the first to recognize Zhou Yan.

However, Qin Wei was not very satisfied with his performance, he thought that he should recognize Zhou Yan before Zhou Yan pulled the scarf off.

The main reason is that when Zhou Yan was speaking on the podium at the beginning, Qin Wei didn't dare to look up, and he was always very nervous, he sat in the first row, and the "coercion" he received was stronger.

Moreover, he never imagined that Zhou Yan could come to him.

After Qin Wei sat down, Tian Ping said with a smile, "Now I will reintroduce this Teacher Zhou to you - Zhou Yan, a graduate of our school in the 87th class, is now teaching in the composition department of the Central Conservatory of Music, everyone is welcome." ”

There was warm applause in the classroom, but this time everyone restrained a lot, just applauding, not cheering loudly.

When the applause was a little weaker, Zhou Yan said, "Thank you very much for your enthusiasm, the paragraph I said when I entered the classroom before was a joke I made with you." The reason why I came to your class is because I used to take classes in this classroom, and the layout of the classroom has basically not changed in the past few years. ”

Zhou Yan has only graduated for more than seven years, and the changes in the classroom are not very big, and the two blackboards may have been rebrushed before and after, which is a little darker than before. The tables, chairs and benches were not new in the first place, but now they have become a little older, not particularly noticeable.

"Even this eye exercise step chart is still there." Zhou Yan pointed to the picture pasted next to the blackboard, "This picture should have been posted when I was in the third grade, and it should have been just eight years since now." ”

Hearing Zhou Yan say this, the students below really felt the connection between themselves and Zhou Yan.

At different times, they were in the same classroom and even looked at the same gymnastics chart every day.

"Some students may wonder what the third piece I just played was, I'm sure, none of you have heard it before. Because, this is a piece I just wrote, and it's called "Past Life". ”

Hearing that the third piece just now was a new work by Zhou Yan, the students couldn't help but whisper.

Since it's a new tune, doesn't that mean they're the first listeners?

As if knowing what they were thinking, Zhou Yan said with a smile, "That's right, you are the first listeners of this song. But the next time you hear this tune, it's going to be a long time coming, and as for why, I'm here to sell it. Here, with this piece in mind, I would like to ask you a question. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Yan paused for a moment, and then said word by word in the expectant eyes of his classmates, "Do you believe in a past life?" ”

Hearing this question, the students all turned their heads to look at the others, and none of them took the initiative to answer.

"This is not an exam, so you don't need to be so cautious."

At this time, the little fat man Qin Wei raised his hand and said, "Teacher Zhou, I believe that there is a past life. Because I always dreamed that I was a great general in my previous life, fighting on the battlefield every day. ”

Hearing Qin Wei's answer, the classmates laughed.

"Qin Wei, you little overlord has fought too much."

Zhou Yan smiled and asked again, "Are there any other students who are willing to answer this question?" ”

With Qin Wei's head, the others didn't care much, and a boy in the back row raised his hand and said, "Teacher Zhou, I don't believe that there is a past life, at least the existing science, it can't prove that the previous life existed." ”

Zhou Yan turned his head and asked Tian Ping, "Teacher Tian, is our class a science class or a liberal arts class?" ”

"It's the same as you used to be, it's still a liberal arts class." Tian Ping said with a smile.

Zhou Yan nodded, didn't dwell on the question of arts and sciences, and continued to ask, "What about the other students?" ”

"Teacher Zhou, I believe that there is a past life, because I think that the existing science cannot prove that the past life does not exist."

"I also believe in past lives, because I think past lives are good."

"Maybe there is a past life, but if there is no memory, then I don't think it makes any sense whether there is a past life or not."

More and more people are participating in the discussion, and there are all kinds of arguments.

After the classmates talked for a while, Zhou Yan joked, "It seems that as long as it is not related to learning, everyone is more interested." ”

Hearing Zhou Yan say this, the students below were stunned.

How does that sound like fishing?

After amusing the students, Zhou Yan smiled again and said, "I don't ask this question to discuss an answer with you here, because I can be sure that we can't discuss an answer today." I would like to ask you another question, if there is a past life, what do you think you want to be in this life? Or we can ask in another way, if there is an afterlife, what kind of person do you want to be in the next life? ”

This time, Zhou Yan didn't give the students time to discuss, and then said, "When I was your age, I often thought about a question, if there is reincarnation, will the past and future become non-existent?" Because the past is the future, the future is the past, the past is the future, and the future is the past. ”

Seeing that some classmates were a little confused, Zhou Yan smiled, "This is not a tongue twister, I just want to tell you not to dwell on the past, and don't focus too much on the future." I know that many students think every day, hurry up the college entrance examination, and then go to college, it will be easier to get to university, but when you get to college, you will find that this feeling will still be there. Many people will also tell you that you have to study hard now, and then you can get a good score in the college entrance examination, go to a good university, have a good job later, and then have a good marriage...... Too many people are telling you about the future, because the future is really attractive. ”

But as a result, many students are always thinking about the future, thinking about it, and lacking motivation. Because the future is out of reach, you will only be exhausted by it. So you don't have to think too much about the future, just live the present well. If you are tired of studying today, you will rest for a while, and when you have rested, you will complete the study task again. Do as much as you can today. When you get used to this way of life, you will find that it is not that difficult to learn. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Yan stopped, and the students also began to applaud in hindsight.

Looking at the students below, Zhou Yan knew that his words today would not change too many things, there were too few epiphany in this world, and more of a subtle influence.

Maybe after tomorrow, most of the students will forget what he said today, or maybe some students try to do what he said, but soon find that they can't do it at all.

But it is also possible that there are one or two classmates who try to do it, and they really succeed.

Things in this world are full of possibilities.

Zhou Yan did not end his speech, he continued, "I will share a few stories with you, but before I share, I want to inform you that I am not sharing these stories because I want you to understand anything from them, but because these stories all happened on this campus. I remember when I was a sophomore in high school, there was a male classmate in my class......"

When Zhou Yaozu came to the gate of the third class of the third year of high school, he rushed to Zhou Yan to share with the students the interesting things that happened when he was studying in Jinzhong.

Looking at his nephew on the stage, Zhou Yaozu raised his eyebrows, he heard the movement here just now, so he came over to take a look, but he didn't expect Zhou Yan to come.

He looked at Wang Zuxian standing outside the window again, guessing what the relationship between this tall girl and his nephew was.

Wang Zuxian also saw Zhou Yaozu, for no reason, she actually felt a little nervous.

But she didn't think much about it, she just felt that she had been a student for so many years, and after seeing the teacher, she couldn't help but feel nervous.

And this teacher's eyes are very sharp, and he is not a character to be messed with at first glance.

The two stories shared by Zhou Yan are not long, and they are both interesting and interesting stories, and it is obvious that the students are more interested in this kind of story, and when they listen to the stories, they have a strong "desire for knowledge" in their eyes.

After Zhou Yan finished sharing here, Tian Ping applauded, and then was about to speak, his eyes swept away, and he just caught a glimpse of Zhou Yaozu at the door, so he took two steps towards the door, "Principal Zhou, you are here." ”

Zhou Yaozu nodded and walked into the classroom: "If you hear any movement, come over and take a look." ”

Seeing the third uncle coming, Zhou Yan was stunned for a moment, and then greeted, "Third uncle." ”

Hearing Zhou Yan call the principal third uncle, the students in the class were very confused, because the relationship between Zhou Yan and Zhou Yaozu was not known.

Wang Zuxian outside the door was even more confused, she didn't expect this middle-aged man to be Zhou Yan's third uncle, and he was also the principal.

Zhou Yaozu asked, "Do you want to continue?" ”

"That's it."

"Very good." Zhou Yaozu nodded, and then said to the students, "Your Senior Brother Zhou Yan's experience has merit, but you can't blindly follow it, he is gifted, he learns everything quickly, and he can't understand the pain of ordinary students." Learning is by no means a romantic thing, you need to be down-to-earth, one step at a time, and the hardships in it cannot be for outsiders, you must learn to digest it yourself. ”

Hearing this, the corners of Zhou Yan's mouth twitched, he didn't know whether the third uncle was demolishing him or praising him.

And before, he had never heard the third uncle say such a thing, and when he was in high school, the third uncle spurred him a lot, and rarely praised him.

After Zhou Yaozu finished speaking, he said to Zhou Yan again, "You come out for a while." ”

"Okay." Zhou Yan nodded and said to the students, "Students, I am very happy today, we will have a meeting later." ”

"Goodbye, Mr. Zhou."

After leaving the classroom, Zhou Yaozu said, "Come to school, why don't you say it in advance?" ”

"I happened to be passing by, come in and take a look, I didn't think about it that much."

Zhou Yaozu looked at Wang Zuxian, "This is your friend?" ”

Zhou Yan pulled Wang Zuxian to this side, "This is Wang Zuxian, Xiaoxian, this is my third uncle." ”

"Hello third uncle." Wang Zuxian said hello very obediently.

Hearing Wang Zuxian's three words, Zhou Yaozu squinted his eyes, and Tian Ping next to him also showed a surprised expression, he didn't expect that the girl brought by Zhou Yan turned out to be the big star Wang Zuxian.

No wonder he covered his face, it turned out that he was afraid of being recognized.

However, Zhou Yaozu didn't ask much, he tried his best to keep a kind expression, "It's a pleasure to meet you, since you have come to Jinling, you have time to go and sit at home." ”

"Okay, third uncle."

Zhou Yaozu nodded, "In that case, I won't ask you to go to my office, you can go and get busy if you have something." ”

Although he wanted to keep Zhou Yan to talk, Zhou Yaozu knew that when they met for the first time, he still tried to avoid embarrassing Wang Zuxian.

"Okay, third uncle, then we'll go first." Zhou Yan pulled Wang Zuxian and said to Tian Ping, "Teacher Tian, goodbye." ”

"Goodbye, I'll have time to come back and see more."

……

Walking out of the teaching building, Wang Zuxian glanced back, and then complained, "I knew that your third uncle was the principal, so I should have prepared." ”

"Prepare what?" Zhou Yan said with a smile.

"Prepare some gifts...... And I just covered my face with a scarf, which is not very polite. ”

"It's okay, the third uncle will understand."

"The third uncle understands that the third uncle is generous, but I didn't do it, it's my problem. You have so many families, you should pay attention to etiquette, right? ”

"It's not that exaggerated." Zhou Yan thought for a while and said, "I'll take you around Jinling tomorrow, and I'll take you to my grandparents' house the day after tomorrow." ”

Hearing that he was going to Zhou Yan's grandparents' house, Wang Zuxian was a little nervous, "Do I want to prepare anything?" ”

Seeing Wang Zuxian's nervous appearance, "Standing on the stage of thousands of people, you can be at ease, go to see my family, what's there to be nervous about, and didn't you prepare a gift?" ”

"That's different."

"It's okay, I'm here. And we are all juniors, you basically know each other. ”

……

The next day, Zhou Yan was going to take Wang Zuxian to visit Jinling, but the snow was too heavy, and the two could only stay at home.

Wang Zuxian was not disappointed at all about not being able to go out to play, and she felt good that she could stay with Zhou Yan.

Xiao Biesheng is newly married, and the two have not seen each other for a long time, so naturally they have a lot of things to do, so even if they stay at home, they are not idle at all.

In the afternoon, when the two were nesting on the sofa watching TV, Wang Zuxian suddenly asked about the song last night.

"Is the song "Past Life" going to be released on the new album?"

"This is the soundtrack I wrote for 'Sense and Sensibility', and it should also be included in the third album in the second half of the year."

"There's a fatalistic feel to this piece."

"Because it's called 'Past Life'."

"When did this movie start filming?"

"Started in mid-April."

"Are you going to go to the shooting site halfway through?"

"It's going to be the end of March, and they have a meeting before the start of the film, and I hope I'll be there."

"The end of March?" Wang Zuxian shrank in Zhou Yan's arms and thought for a while, "Why don't I go with you, I don't have anything to do during that time." ”

Zhou Yan nodded, "Yes, their filming location should be very beautiful." ”

"Okay, then I'll prepare." Wang Zuxian rubbed his hands, and he was quite motivated: "If you go abroad in the future, as long as you have time, I will go with you, in Europe and the United States, no one knows us, and it is much easier to play." ”

"Hmm."

"But aren't you famous in the U.S. right now? I read the news that "The Sixth Sense" was particularly high at the box office. ”

"It's not particularly high, it's okay, and if "The Sixth Sense" is particularly high at the box office, it should be easier for people to recognize you as the heroine, not me as the director."

Most movies are popular, and the first ones to become popular are basically actors, except for industry insiders and ordinary audiences, who don't care what the director looks like.

For example, Gong Li and Zhang Yimou, the difference between the popularity of their faces in Europe and the United States is very large, many Europeans and Americans know what Gong Li looks like, but they don't know what Zhang Yimou looks like.

Another example is Giuseppe and Monica Bellucci, most people don't know what he looks like like for Giuseppe, but Monica can make the audience remember her with just one "Beautiful Legend of Sicily".

"How much is the box office of "The Sixth Sense" now?"

"I haven't paid attention to it during this time, it should be more than 10 million dollars."

"That's pretty impressive, too." Then Wang Zuxian sighed again, "It's all your fault, originally after "Green Snake", there were many fewer people looking for me to make movies, but after "The Sixth Sense" was released, there were a lot more, more than before. ”

"Interested?"

Wang Zuxian shook his head, "No, I'm waiting for your next movie." ”

"That could be a long wait."

"It doesn't matter, I'll wait for as long as I want, it's better for you to be the leading actor."

Zhou Yan nodded and looked at Wang Zuxian's clear eyes, and nodded gently, "Okay." ”

Hearing the affirmative reply, Wang Zuxian had a bright smile on his face, "Can you pull the full version of "Past Life" for me?" Last night was too short. ”

"Uh...... I don't have a violin at home, but I do have a flute, so I'll use it for you. ”

"Okay."

Zhou Yan went to the bedroom and found the flute from the cabinet, this thing was bought by him before, and he hadn't played it once, but fortunately, his flute was nickel-plated, not so squeamish, and there was no problem with keeping it in the cabinet for so long.

Holding the flute, Zhou Yan walked to the window of the living room and began to play the song "Past Life". (End of chapter)
