On the evening of April 30, Zhou Yan began filming the scene where Zhou Xuewen first met Lin Lin.

For this scene, the crew waited from morning to afternoon, just to wait for the best light in the office.

When it was almost evening, the light in the office finally met Zhou Yan's requirements.

But as soon as I started shooting, there was a noise behind me.

Zhou Yan heard the noise and slammed the table, "Who is arguing!" ”

He took such a shot, which startled everyone at the scene, and the surroundings instantly fell silent.

Seeing that it was quiet, Zhou Yan gave Zhu Lin a gesture, "You continue." ”

Zhu Lin was also taken aback just now, and when she heard Zhou Yan let her continue, she took a breath and began to find her state again.

After all, he is a professional actor, and he quickly got his state back.

After Zhu Lin finished the personal shot, Li Xuejian walked in again.

In order to keep this scene from going wrong, Zhou Yan has taken them to rehearse many times before, and the two are already very familiar with each other, whether it is the position or the lines.

So after that, the two of them did a very good job, and they passed one piece.

"Very well, keep one more."

After the second shooting, Zhou Yan turned his head and asked, "What did you do just now, it's noisy?" ”

After he finished asking, Xu Feng walked out of the crowd and said with a smile, "Director Zhou, I'm really sorry to disturb your filming." ”

Seeing Xu Feng coming, Zhou Yan changed his face in a textbook way, and his face was instantly filled with a smile, "Sister Feng, you won't say anything in advance when you come, I'll let someone pick you up." ”

"You're insinuating, saying that I didn't come at the right time."

"No, no, absolutely not, I'm so happy that Sister Feng can come." Zhou Yan stood up directly and said loudly, "Mr. Xu is here to visit the class, in order to celebrate, our crew has eighteen hours off." ”

Many people thought that Mr. Xu had a big face at the beginning, and she would give Zhou Yan a holiday as soon as she came, but after thinking about it, she found that it was wrong, it was now more than six o'clock in the evening, and the eighteen-hour holiday was until eight o'clock tomorrow, so wasn't it normal to start work?

Xu Feng glanced at Zhou Yan, and then said with a smile, "Forget about the holiday, let Director Zhou finish work early tomorrow, and I will invite everyone to dinner." ”

"To the city?" Zhou Yan asked.

"No, it's good here, I'll arrange it."

"Okay, then thank you, Mr. Xu."

The others also thanked him, "Thank you, Mr. Xu." ”

"No thanks, no thanks."

Zhou Yan explained a few words to the assistant directors, and then said to Xu Feng, "Go to my office." ”

"Okay."

After the two arrived at the office, Zhou Yan said with a smile, "Sister Feng, you came too fast, I thought you would have to come after a while." ”

"It's okay left and right, so I'll come over. I was shocked by you just now, and it was the first time I saw you have such a big temper. ”

"I finally waited for the right light, and I was really anxious."

"It's understandable, it's actually good that you're okay and angry, otherwise the staff will be scared."

"No, why didn't I understand, Sister Feng, I don't lose my temper, they're afraid, if I lose my temper, they're not afraid?"

"Because people who lose their temper have humanity. Controlling emotions is a skill, but it is a terrible thing for a person to be able to control their emotions well at all times. ”

Zhou Yan nodded, "It's really a bit reasonable, but I don't think Sister Feng usually loses your temper." ”

"My temper tantrums are all given to my two sons and husband, you can't tell the difference." Xu Feng said with a smile.

"That's a pity, by the way, you've read the script of "Winner", how about it?"

"I really want to tell you about this, after I read the script, I was very touched, and it is a good story. However, although the script is good, a good director is needed, if you don't recommend Huo Jianqi, I think Wang Xiaoshuai is quite suitable for this script. ”

Zhou Yan understands Xu Feng's thoughts, no matter what, Wang Xiaoshuai and Zhou Yan have partnered together three times, the first two times were successful, and Wang Xiaoshuai's own independently produced film also won the award, Xu Feng must have trusted him very much.

But Huo Jianqi is different, Huo Jianqi has never directed any movies independently before, and has been doing art design for other films.

In terms of resume, Huo Jianqi is not convincing at all, and his only advantage is Zhou Yan's recommendation.

Zhou Yan said with a smile, "Huo Jianqi is definitely more suitable for this movie than Wang Xiaoshuai, you have to believe me, Sister Feng, not only in terms of style, but also in one point, the creator of this script, Su Xiaowei, is Huo Jianqi's wife." ”

"Oh, it turns out that it's still a husband and wife file, so if I find another director, it's a stick to beat the mandarin ducks, I really can't do this. Okay, since you think Huo Jianqi can do it, then let him come, I fully trust you. ”

Over the years of cooperation, Xu Feng has become more and more trusting of Zhou Yan, if she only trusted Zhou Yan's personal talent before, then she now trusts Zhou Yan's vision of people.

Wang Xiaoshuai, who was recommended by Zhou Yan before, followed Senior Lu, and he performed very well.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, this time Zhou Yan was wrong, and the loss was more than one million, which was nothing to the current Tomson.

In recent years, Tomson has developed so well that it can already help Tomson Group.

Something happened to Xu Feng's husband Tang Junnian before, and he needed 20 million, all of which were given from Tomson Film Company.

If Tomson didn't make any money, it would have taken a bit of effort.

"Then do you want to call Huo Jianqi over to talk?" Zhou Yan asked.

Xu Feng nodded, "Yes, but I want to ask you first, how much do you think is appropriate for this movie." ”

"If you want this script, it should be enough to give one million to one and a half million, too much money, but it will put too much pressure on Huo Jian."

"Okay, I probably know, you invite him over, I'll talk to him."

"Hmm."

Then Zhou Yan called Huo Jianqi to the office, and Xu Feng told Huo Jianqi in person that he was willing to invest one million in their films, and the model was still the same as before, which was to cooperate with Yanjing Studio.

When Huo Jianqi heard the good news, he was naturally very excited, and thanked Xu Feng vigorously.

"Mr. Xu, thank you so much."

Xu Feng said with a smile, "You should thank your wife and Zhou Yan, without your wife, there would be no such a good script, and without Zhou Yan's recommendation, I wouldn't trust you." ”

"Yes, I am also very grateful to Director Zhou."

The reason why Xu Feng said this was because he wanted to cultivate a relationship with Zhou Yan, after all, Huo Jianqi's gratitude was of little use to her.

"Of course, I hope you don't disappoint me, and I'll be the producer of this movie myself."

Zhou Yan joked, "Then his pressure will be great." ”

"What you kid said is as difficult as I am, whether it's you or Chen Kaige, when I was a producer, didn't I solve problems for you, when did I create problems for you?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I lost my word."

……

The next day, Xu Feng stayed with the group for a day.

In the evening, the crew finished work early, and Xu Feng also arranged a big meal, she asked people to purchase ingredients yesterday and make them directly in the canteen.

After dinner in the evening, Xu Feng left overnight, and before leaving, she told Zhou Yan about something, the remake rights of "The Sixth Sense" have been determined to be given to Colombia, and the final negotiated remake copyright fee is $1.55 million.

Warner also gave the same price, but Xu Feng knew about Zhou's cooperation with Columbia, so he didn't pay too much for the copyright fee, and gave it to Columbia directly.

In fact, even if you don't look at Zhou's face, Xu Feng will probably give it to Colombia in the end, after all, because of Zhou's participation, Colombia directly raised the filming budget to 20 million US dollars, and it does not include the copyright fee of 1.55 million US dollars.

In this way, Colombia has an advantage over Warner.

It's just that if it weren't for Zhou's company, Xu Feng would definitely have to drag things out again.

Of course, when signing the contract, Xu Feng also kept an eye on it, and wrote the budget and five-year deadline in the contract, if Colombia does not shoot within five years, the remake right will be invalid.

In fact, Xu Feng doesn't have to worry about this, because when Zhou was talking about cooperation with Columbia, he stipulated that this movie must be made within three years, which is much stricter than the five years stipulated by Tomson.

Colombia didn't care about these terms at all, because they bought the rights to remake "The Sixth Sense", which was supposed to start filming right away.

Their plan is that the film will start filming in the second half of this year, and the movie will be released next year, after all, big factories do things based on efficiency.

Now that the remake rights have been taken down, and the director has basically been decided, the next thing they have to do is to find a reliable screenwriter, and then give the actors.

The male protagonist, Zhou Yan decided to Bruce Willis or Kevin Costner, and the most important thing left is the little male protagonist and female protagonist.

……

"Spring in the Cattle Herding Class" was filmed on May 16, which was a little faster than originally planned, because the concert footage was not filmed, which saved some time.

On the day of the finale of the movie, the general's mound was very lively, and the crew held a grand finale banquet.

The spirit was tense for more than a month, and on the day of the finale, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Some staff members who have not worked with Zhou Yan before are lamenting Zhou Yan's high efficiency, and those old people who have worked with Zhou Yan several times are lamenting that this shooting is the most insipid and efficient of all Zhou Yan's film shootings.

During the filming process, many people even felt that this movie was a bit too bland, especially Li Xuejian and Wang Xueqi, two old actors, who didn't play much.

In the whole movie, there don't seem to be any explosive scenes, and some of the scenes that look very inspirational are all point-to-point, not bloody at all.

In fact, movies can also be made a little more enthusiastic, such as how Zhou Xuewen and his choir broke through difficulties and obstacles and finally became famous.

But the movie is not like this, Zhou Xuewen worked hard to form a choir, but finally left the scene.

But no one doubts that this movie will succeed because the director is Zhou Yan.

The old people who follow Zhou Yan know how magical Zhou Yan is in movies, and this movie is also Zhou Yan's strong point, and all the music in it is handled by Zhou Yan himself.

Even though the story looks bland when filmed, the music inside is really good, especially the child named Li Haining, the voice is so good.

The music in the movie alone is worth the ticket price.

……

On the second day of the finale banquet, Zhou Yan ran to the editing room and stared at the editor cutting the film.

Not long after he arrived in the editing room, there were a bunch of people around him, several assistant directors, and some people in the factory, such as Wang Junzheng, were very curious about Zhou Yan's new movie.

Even Han Sanping came over to take a look.

Editor Lao Yang looked at the large group of people around him and felt very stressed, and when "Farewell My Concubine" was edited before, it didn't attract so much attention.

However, everyone watched it for a while, and they all left with interest, without delaying the editor's work any longer.

In the end, only Han Sanping stayed and pulled Zhou Yan aside.

He said with a smile, "You are so efficient, "The Sixth Sense" has just finished filming, and Huo Jianqi's new movie is about to start shooting." ”

"Mr. Xu has already told you, right?"

"Well, I said, she said that she expects to invest more than 2 million, tsk, Huo Jianqi is a new director, and Mr. Xu is really courageous."

Zhou Yan said with a smile, "When I made my first movie back then, the cost finally reached 8 million, which is called courage." ”

Han Sanping couldn't help but tug at the corners of his mouth, "Are you talking to me?" ”

"No, I just want to say that Mr. Xu is indeed very courageous."

In fact, when Zhou Yan filmed "The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly", the budget was not so much at the beginning, and the reason why Xu Feng took a fancy to Zhou Yan was also because of Hou Xiaoxian's recommendation.

In addition, Zhou Yan had already made a short film at that time and won the award at the film festival, which can be regarded as a bit of seniority.

However, Zhou Yan is also quite strange, because Xu Feng said to Huo Jianqi that he wanted to give one million, but he said two million to Han Sanping.

I guess I want Han Sanping to pay attention to this project.

"It just so happens that your movie is finished, and some people from your team are directly transferred to Huo Jianqi for use, I have just worked together, and I am very familiar with them."

Zhou Yan nodded, "Well, it's good, the people of Yanjing Factory, isn't this all a matter of your words, third brother?" ”

"No, I actually want to tell you that I want to seconded Jiang Mengfei and Hong Xin to Yanjing Factory."

Zhou Yan said unexpectedly, "You still pay attention to them?" ”

"That's natural, they're all old people who have worked with you a few times, of course I have to pay attention."

"There are so many people in Yanjing Factory, and there is no need to transfer people, right?"

Han Sanping shook his head, "Although there are many people, there may not be many that are really easy to use." Jiang Mengfei, they are your people, you are my brother, they will always be with me. ”

Zhou Yan narrowed his eyes, it seemed that Han Sanping's control over his Yanjing Factory was not enough.

That's right, the original faction of these people in Yanjing Factory is very complicated, even if they are with Han Sanping on the surface, but secretly they may not be.

Jiang Mengfei and Hong Xin are from the Chang'an factory, and they are seconded to the Yanjing factory, and the foundation can be said to be clean, and they have nothing to do with these factions in the Yanjing factory.

There is also a relationship with Zhou Yan, and these people will naturally support Han Sanping very much.

Zhou Yan naturally agreed to this matter, he always wanted to bring Jiang Mengfei and them together to form a fixed team, but it was not realistic for them to give up the establishment and go to work in his studio.

If Han Sanping can transfer them over, it will naturally be the best.

"Do you want me to tell them this?"

"You don't have to do anything, you just have to ask them if they want to stay, and then give me a list."

"Okay, I see."

……

As soon as Hong Xin arrived at the studio, he saw Jiang Mengfei sighing.

"What, the movie is finished, are you still not happy when you have time to rest?"

"It's natural to be happy to be able to rest, but now that the movie is finished, we are about to return to Chang'an."

"Then what to do, sooner or later I will have to go back."

"Otherwise, I'll go and tell Lao Zhou and let me stay in his studio, anyway, his film studio needs people."

"You don't want to make it, do you? And Zhou Yan doesn't have a project now, can he still support you for nothing? ”

"Then I don't want to ......" Jiang Mengfei originally wanted to say that he didn't want money, but after thinking about it, he changed his words, "I'll pay less." ”

"No matter how little you want, it will be a pressure on Zhou Yan."

Jiang Mengfei pursed his lips, he knew that Hong Xin was right, and he really wanted to stay, he had nothing to do every day, and he was in a hurry.

He looked at Lin Juan not far away, "Juan'er, do you want to stay?" ”

Lin Juan lowered her head and fiddled with the small alarm clock on the table, "I'll do it." ”

Hong Xin glanced at Jiang Mengfei and signaled Jiang Mengfei not to say anything.

Lin Juan's thoughts about Zhou Yan, they all know.

Originally, Hong Xin thought that after a long time, Lin Juan's mind would fade, but now it seems that this girl is trapped and can't get out.

Lin Juan is not young anymore, but she has never talked about marriage, and she has never even had a boyfriend.

Sometimes Hong Xin also sighs that it is not a good thing to meet people who are too amazing when he is young, and Zhou Yan's imprint in Lin Juan's heart is too deep.

Fortunately, when she met Zhou Yan herself, she was no longer a spring girl, and she was resistant to Zhou Yan, otherwise she would have to be the same as Lin Juan.

Hong Xin sighed, Lin Juan, this stupid girl, Zhou Yan is the star in the sky, just look up occasionally, if you have to get closer, you will burn yourself.

If you want to say that they want to stay the most, it must be Lin Juan.

Jiang Mengfei at least lost his words, and hurriedly turned his head to ask Hong Ben on the other side, "Brother Ben, what about you, do you want to stay?" ”

Hong Ben said with a smile, "Of course I want to, but Hong Guantou is right, there is no project in the middle, and we can't let Director Zhou support us." After working with Director Zhou a few times, it is a bit difficult to cooperate with other directors now. ”

"Of course it's not good, less money lives more, and it's angry. Lao Zhou is generous, and he is still open-minded. ”

"That's right."

……

A few people were chatting, and Zhou Yan walked in with a smile, "What are you talking about?" ”

Hong Xin smiled and immediately said, "It's nothing, they're all talking about filming." ”

Zhou Yan nodded and looked around the office, "How many people are from Chang'an Factory?" ”

"Rest today, a lot of people didn't come, what's the matter with you, Lao Zhou?" Jiang Mengfei asked.

"Well, there is one thing I want to tell you, Director Huo Jianqi has a new movie to shoot soon, which is also invested by Tomson and cooperated with Yanjing Factory. Director Han values you very much, what he means is to simply seconded you to the Yanjing factory, and let me ask you who is willing. ”

Hearing Zhou Yan's words, several people in the office looked at each other in surprise.

They were still talking about this just now, and Zhou Yan came to second, which is too much of a coincidence.

Jiang Mengfei immediately raised his hand, "I'll be the first to sign up." ”

Hong Ben raised his hand and said, "I'll sign up too." ”

Zhou Yan looked at Hong Xin, who thought for a moment, nodded and said, "I'm probably fine, but I'll discuss it with my family." ”

"Well, no problem, no need to rush, you can give me an answer in the next few days."

Then Zhou Yan looked at Lin Juan again, "Juan'er, what about you." ”

Lin Juan looked at the desktop and nodded, "I can do it." ”

"I won't ask the others one by one, Hong Ben, you are responsible for notifying, and go back and summarize everyone's opinions to me."

"Okay, Director Zhou rest assured."

"By the way, Zhou Yan, after we come over, how will we arrange accommodation, food, and office? The accommodation, food and office of the Yanjing factory are quite tight, right? ”

Zhou Yan smiled, "It's okay, it's still the same, food, housing and office are all on my side." ”

"Isn't that why you're raising us?" Jiang Mengfei said.

"No, at least the salary is paid by the Yanjing factory." Zhou Yan smiled, "Don't think too much about it, come over if you have the conditions, go back if you don't, no matter what, next time I make a movie, I will still look for you." ”

"Understood."

Zhou Yan nodded, "Okay, you're busy, I'll go." ”

After Zhou Yan left, Jiang Mengfei clenched his fists, "What is a dream come true, this is called a dream come true." ”

Lin Juan looked up at Jiang Mengfei's clenched fist, and a smile appeared on her face.

And Hong Xin saw the smile on Lin Juan's face, and sighed deeply. (End of chapter)
