Zhou Yan and a group of them walked together, which was quite conspicuous, so they were quickly recognized by some students.

"Teacher Zhou."

Hearing the students shouting about themselves, Zhou Yan also responded with a smile and waved.

Hearing the movement here, the nearby students were all attracted to it, but the students were quite restrained, did not get too close to Zhou Yan, but kept a proper distance, and even vacated a walkway to the door of the large dining room for Zhou Yan and his party.

Just when Zhou Yan sighed and the students were more restrained, suddenly a tall and thin boy ran out.

As soon as he saw this boy, Zhou Yan was startled.

There is nothing special about the boy himself, the main thing is that the boy is dressed really and is a bit amazing.

It's the end of December, the lowest temperature in Yanjing today is minus 5 degrees, and the afternoon is still minus zero, and the boy is only wearing a white short-sleeved T-shirt.

The T-shirt has four big black letters on it, "Piano Boy", plus an oversized exclamation mark.

It's just that no matter how hot-blooded a young man is, he is still afraid of freezing, and Zhou Yan noticed that this kid's arms were frozen purple.

"And this." The boy took out another music album, which was "Yulin Bell" just released today.

The reason why Yan Normal University was able to get so many votes was because their school had the earliest support club, which was of special significance to Zhou Yan.

With that, he ran away with joy.

Maybe Zhou Yan also wanted to find a step for them, Leng Xuejun could only guess so.

"Mr. Xu is on the way."

Leng Xuejun shook his head and sighed, "Teacher Zhou, I made you laugh." ”

This character should not have been printed, but painted by the student with a black pen, and there are rough edges in some places.

At this time, Shi Tiesheng and Yu Hua surrounded a lot of people, Chen Kaige was the closest, he originally knew Shi Tiesheng, after all, he adapted Shi Tiesheng's "Fate Like Strings".

Leng Xuejun also glanced at the boy, "Liao Ruhan, go back and put on your clothes." ”

Zhou Yan nodded, and asked again, "Have the invited guests and media reporters counted?" ”

Zhou Yan walked over with a smile, "Do you have a pen?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes." The boy immediately pulled out a marker.

Zhou Yuan wrote his name on the CD shell, and then wrote another line underneath.

Wang Junzheng and Han Sanping were also next to them, and when they got together, the actors would naturally come around.

Zhou Yan was quite surprised to see him come up with a new album, because although this album was released today, it was actually slow to be distributed, and there were no goods in many places, including these video stores in Yanjing.

Hearing Zhou Yan say this, Leng Xuejun was quite puzzled, he had heard Yu Runyang, the previous principal of Yangyin, mention Zhou Yan, saying that Zhou Yan had always been calm and unreserved when he was in school, and he couldn't stand up to the troublemakers at all.

Zhou Yan stood in the center of the large dining room and looked around, this lecture hall was indeed relatively old, and the ceiling looked like it had not been repaired for a long time, and some clods of soil might fall at any time.

The premiere of "Spring in the Cattle Herding Class" also released some tickets to the student group.

To the west of the dining room, there is a small stage on which the curtain of the film is suspended, and the ceremonial rites will be carried out in a moment's time.

He patted the boy on the shoulder, "Classmate, pay attention to keep warm, don't catch a cold." ”

Seeing the appearance of this boy, there was a burst of laughter at the scene, and many people followed suit, it seems that this boy is quite popular at school.

【1995 Winter Solstice Dining Room】

"Well, it's already seven or eight. At three o'clock, let the students in. ”

Zhou Yan smiled and waved his hand, "Students, it's not a bad thing to be arbitrary." When I used to go to school, I was more mischievous than him. ”

It should have taken a bit of effort for this kid to be able to buy it.

At this time, there were already many people in the dining room, and the main actors of "The Spring of the Cattle Herding Class", as well as most of the behind-the-scenes workers, had already arrived at the scene in advance.

Seeing Zhou Yan sign his name, the boy clenched his fists excitedly, "Teacher Zhou, you must rush out of Asia and conquer the world!" I will always support you. ”

Seeing the boy's excited appearance, Zhou Yan couldn't help but sigh, what a hot-blooded young man.

"Teacher Zhou, can you sign for me?" The boy asked loudly as he lifted his T-shirt on his chest.

After Zhou Yan entered, he greeted the guests one by one, and then found Zhang Youan and asked, "Sister Feng, haven't come yet?" ”

In addition to them, there are also Chen Kaige, Wang Zhengjun, Han Sanping, these old friends of Yanjing Factory.

Media reporters also came in early, but there was a fixed interview session today, so when they saw Zhou Yan coming in, they didn't surround them.

On the other hand, it is also because the movie "Spring of the Cattle Herding Class" is related to music and education, and it can be regarded as a professional counterpart for the students of Yan Normal University.

The group didn't linger outside for long, and soon entered the large dining room.

Not to mention the four walls, which are already mottled.

Zhou Yan took the pen and signed his name on his T-shirt.

Liao Ruhan stood up and saluted, "Order, Director Leng." ”

Since it is held at Yan University, most of the tickets must have been given to Yan University students, and the rest, Yang Yin and Yan Normal University students shared a lot of votes.

After saying a few more words to Zhang Youan, Zhou Yan walked to Shi Tiesheng and them.

Yu Hua and Shi Tiesheng also came, chatting with Chen Kaige at this time.

When Zhou Yan approached, he only heard Chen Kaige say with a smile, "Zhou Yan has been too busy recently, and he can't make an appointment to dinner." ”

Han Sanping joked, "Why didn't I see you ask me to dinner." ”

"Hey, I'm not mainly worried about the wine in Zhou Yan's house, Director Han don't worry, next time I make an appointment with Zhou Yan, I will invite you too, let's go make his wine together."

At this time, Zhou Yan spoke, "No need for next time, I will have dinner tonight, and I will take care of enough wine for you." ”

Hearing Zhou Yan's voice, everyone looked at him, Chen Kaige smiled and said, "One yard is one yard, today is Mr. Xu's meal, you have to write it down, and please next time." ”

Han Sanping said with a smile, "I don't think it's as good as this, when the box office of "Spring of the Cattle Herding Class" exceeds 50 million, let Zhou Yan invite you to dinner, and those of us present will have a share." ”

"Director, are you talking about the mainland box office?" Chen Kaige asked.

"Global box office."

"Fifty million dollars?"

"Renminbi."

Chen Kaige smiled crookedly, his mouth was already crooked, but now it is even more crooked.

"Then he must be invited to this meal, the global box office of 50 million yuan is not challenging for him at all."

"Isn't this still for the benefit of everyone?"

"I think it's 50 million dollars in the world, and it's all right."

Zhou Yan rolled his eyes and ignored Chen Kaige.

"Spring of the Cattle Class" has a global box office of more than 50 million yuan, and there is really no pressure, with Zhou Yan's appeal in China and Neon, this goal can be easily accomplished.

But to say 50 million US dollars is simply a fantasy, and the goal that "The Sixth Sense" has not been completed, and "Spring of the Cattle" is even more impossible to complete.

Chen Kaige naturally knew that this was impossible, that is, he made a joke casually, but then he mentioned "The Sixth Sense", "The American version of "The Sixth Sense" will be released next year, and the global box office of that movie should be no problem at $50 million, otherwise, if the global box office of the US version of "The Sixth Sense" exceeds $50 million, you can have another meal." ”

Zhou Yan nodded briskly, "Cheng, when the time comes, you can choose any restaurant in Yanjing." ”

"Circumferential Atmosphere." Chen Kaige gave a thumbs up with a smile.

Everyone was talking, laughing and chatting, and suddenly Yu Hua said, "Director Zhang is here." ”

Hearing Yu Hua's words, everyone looked in the direction of the door, only to see Zhang Yimou just coming in from outside.

Zhang Yimou was looking, and Zhou Yan beckoned to him and shouted, "Director Zhang." ”

Hearing Zhou Yan's voice, Zhang Yimou had a smile on his face and walked towards this side.

When they arrived here, everyone greeted each other again.

After chatting for a few words, Chen Kaige suddenly asked, "Didn't Gong Li come with you?" ”

Hearing Chen Kaige mention Gong Li, the atmosphere of the scene changed a lot all of a sudden.

Zhang Yimou had a falling out with Gong Li, and this matter was on the news, and most of the people present knew that it was definitely out of place to mention Gong Li at this time.

Zhou Yan glanced at Chen Kaige, and said in his heart that this Kaizi brother has no measure, it is impossible for him not to know what the current situation of Zhang Yimou and Gong Li is, but he still has to ask Gong Li, that is deliberate, wanting to stimulate Zhang Yimou.

In fact, there is really no direct contradiction between Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, but Chen Kaige has a little demon in his heart.

Because some people have always compared him with Zhang Yimou, after a long time, he has listened to others a lot, and he himself has taken it seriously.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Zhou Yan said with a smile, "I called Sister Li, she wanted to come, but she has been really busy recently, so she really didn't rush." Speaking of which, you are also to blame for this. ”

Chen Kaige said strangely, "What does it have to do with me." ”

"It's not that you messed up Sister Li's schedule with "Fengyue", otherwise she wouldn't be so busy now."

"Yes, it's my fault."

Zhou Yan is not opening which pot to mention, he is poking Chen Kaige's lung tube, if others say this, Chen Kaige is estimated to be angry, but Zhou Yan said this, he couldn't be angry.

Chen Kaige also knew that Zhou Yan was ordering him.

Today's meeting, Zhou Yan is the host after all, and his words embarrass Zhang Yimou, and Zhou Yan's face will definitely not be able to get by.

Zhou Yan saw the current situation, and it was estimated that it would not be easy to talk about it later, so he said, "It's not early, let's sit down, the ceremony will start in a while." ”

Hearing Zhou Yan say this, they went to find their respective places and sat down.

As soon as they dispersed, Xu Feng rushed over, and the venue began to put the students outside inside.

About ten minutes later, the ceremony officially began.

The premiere of "Spring of the Cattle Herding Class" is similar to the process of "Sense and Sensibility", the host first introduced the purpose of today's ceremony, and then introduced the guests who came to the scene.

After that, Xu Feng took the stage to introduce the background and production process of the movie.

Xu Feng didn't bring a script, and directly took the microphone and said, "Actually, making Zhou Yan's movies is very simple, and those who know him know that all the movies he makes are written by himself, directed by himself, and scored by himself, and every plan has him from the beginning to the end." ”

"This movie too, didn't bother me too much. Not long after the release of "The Sixth Sense" last year, I was thinking about what movie he would make next, and then I called him with two scripts, one was "Once Upon a Time in Yanzhou" and the other was "Once Upon a Time in Shanghai". But on the phone, he had a story in his heart, related to education and music. ”

"To be honest, I was very happy when I heard that this story was about education and music. You also know that Zhou Yan is a music teacher, and this kind of theme is simply tailor-made for him. Later, I read the script and verified my idea, this is a very good story. Although it was inspired by a film from half a century ago, A Caged Nightingale, the two films were completely different, and "Spring in the Cattle Herding Class" fulfilled all my imagination of a good movie. ”

"The filming time of this film is not long, but the preparation time is very long, there are many actors who need to train, learn, and even lose weight, and we have built a special school for this film......"

It can be seen that Xu Feng is quite excited, since "Farewell My Concubine", she has not been so excited for a long time.

Although her own participation in the movie "Spring of the Cattle Herding Class" is not high, unlike when "Farewell My Concubine" was filmed, she coordinated in the middle every day, but she really liked the movie "Spring of the Cattle Herding Class".

The status of this movie is second only to "Farewell My Concubine" in her heart, and the reason why she has not done "Farewell My Concubine" is only because her participation is not very high.

"The Spring of the Cattle Herding Class" gives full play to Zhou Yan's talent.

Xu Feng said for a long time, and finally thanked all the people involved in the production of the film.

"The box office of the movie is handed over to the market and to the audience, but no matter what, I want to thank you for bringing such a perfect movie to everyone."

After Xu Feng finished speaking, it was the turn of the main creators to take the stage.

Zhou Yan took all the members of the director team and several leading actors to the stage.

None of the young actors came today, because today is Friday, they are all in school, and Zhou Yan doesn't want this kind of thing to affect their studies.

When there is a holiday in the later stage, Zhou Yan doesn't mind letting these children make an appearance.

The choir of young actors is still in place, and they usually go to the studio to study and rehearse after school or on holidays.

After Zhou Yan and the others came on stage, they were also chatting very relaxed, talking about some interesting things that happened during filming.

In addition, others will inevitably tout a few words about Zhou Yan.

Several members of the director team are still relatively restrained, and a few leading actors have no scruples, especially Wang Xueqi, who is very good at doing things, as long as the microphone is in his hand, he must blow Zhou Yan two sentences.

The key is that when Wang Xueqi spoke, he was serious and full of temperament, and his sycophants were all sound, and Rao was Zhou Yan's thick skin, and he was blown red by him.

"Director Zhou's movie, every picture, every piece of music, let the audience enjoy ......"

Hearing that Wang Xueqi was blowing more and more outrageous, Zhou Yan hurriedly gave the host a look, signaling that it was not too early.

The host understood and immediately said with a smile, "Thank you Mr. Wang for sharing, ...... next"

The latter link is an interview with reporters, and the media reporters at the scene have long been impatient, and they have raised their hands at this link.

First of all, I ordered two domestic media and asked questions related to movies.

The third point is a neon media, after the other party was clicked, he was very happy, and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhou Yan, today is not only the day of the premiere of "Spring of the Cattle Herding Class", but also the day of the global release of your third theme music album "Yulin Bell". As we all know, you are now the most well-known musician in Neon, and there are so many fans in Neon who are following this album. On behalf of Neon fans, I would like to ask a question, why is this album called Yulin Ling, and does it have any special meaning? ”

Although today is the premiere of "Spring of the Cattle Herding Class", the neon reporter asked this question, and everyone at the scene did not feel any problem.

Zhou Yan took the microphone and nodded, "A very good question, but this question is not a problem for most of the people here." Yulin Ling is a word brand name, originally a famous song of the Tang Dynasty, expressing the love of parting sorrow and hate, my album, the theme is the same, the songs included in it are all related to sorrow and hatred. In addition to the tunes that everyone has heard before, such as "Drinking the Yangtze River Water Together", there are also a few tunes in "Sense and Sensibility". In addition, some tracks such as "The Sixth Sense" have also been included. Of course, there are other new tunes besides these. ”

The neon reporter remembered Zhou Yan's answer very seriously, and then said, "I want to ask one more question, do you have any plans to go to Neon for a concert next year?" It's been two years since you've been to a Neon concert. ”

Zhou Yan said with a smile, "I haven't held a few concerts in the past two years, but I can tell you that there is a high probability that our orchestra will go to Neon next year." ”

After asking two questions, the neon reporter was quite satisfied and sat down with a smile.

This time, Zhou Yan left a long time for the media, a full half an hour, and the reporters have basically asked all the questions that should be asked.

There are some questions that should not be asked, and Zhou Yan has not answered.

After the Q&A session, Han Sanping delivered a speech as a guest representative.

After Han Sanping finished speaking, the host announced the start of the movie.

The whole ceremony lasted more than two hours, and by the time the film began to be screened, it was almost six o'clock.

The curtains of the large dining room were drawn, and as soon as the lights were turned off, the whole hall became dark, and the audience was quiet.

Soon, the curtain lights up and the opening credits play.

By the time the opening credits end, the curtain goes dark again.

At first, the audience didn't care, because many movies have a "black screen" at the beginning, and the feature film will appear immediately.

But soon, the audience realized that something was not quite right, and the black screen was a bit long.

About six or seven seconds later, there was a knock on the door.

"Knock knock—"

"Come in." An old voice rang out.

"Teacher Lin, there is a domestic phone, and I am in a hurry." A second young voice rang out.

The voice...... It seems to be Zhou Yan's.

Some people heard it, and the second voice was Zhou Yan's.

But the curtain was still dark, and only sound could be heard.

Could it be that there is a problem with the field equipment?

But no one dared to speak out.

"Tell him to call after the concert." The old voice sounded again.

Footsteps, getting closer.

"It's about your mother." Zhou Yan's voice sounded.

Silent......

"Hey."

At this point, the curtain finally lit up again.

On the screen, an old man is arranging his collar, his expression is solemn, and his eyes are full of tears.

Although the curtain was black for more than 20 seconds in front of them, and the audience could not see any picture, they could see why the old man had tears in his eyes.

More than twenty seconds of darkness, only a few lines, but it seems that a lot has been said.

The old man's mother must have died, and he was preparing for a concert at this time, and the audience could also get the news that the old man should be a well-known musician, because they are now abroad.

This special shooting technique also surprised the audience.

Soon, the second shot of the film appears, the old man is in a concert hall, holding a baton, and conducting the orchestra to play a symphony.

Those who are familiar with music will already hear that what is being played is Johann Strauss Jr.'s Waltz "The Artist's Life".

The music is a beat, with a brisk tempo, and the joyful atmosphere expressed is opposed to the grief of the old man who lost his mother.

Leng Xuejun sat next to Zhou Yan, looking at the screen, and couldn't help but have two lines of poetry in his mind.

"In the past, I went back, and the willows were still there. Now I think about it, the rain and snow are falling. ”

Like this first line of the poem, the picture of the movie at this moment is a typical use of music to express sorrow.

Leng Xuejun has a feeling that this picture may also be the tone of the whole movie, and the music and picture at the beginning not only have a lyrical effect, but also have a narrative role to complete the plot together.

Of course, this is all Leng Xuejun's speculation, and he himself has not studied movies.

However, even if he doesn't have much research on movies, Leng Xuejun can feel the charm of this movie through just a few shots.
