1990: Starting from Baojia Street

In the hearts of Xu Lang and others, there is no doubt about Senior Brother Zhou Yan's talent.

Moreover, Senior Brother Zhou Yan is becoming more and more down-to-earth.

When Xu Lang and others first came to Yangyin, they heard the symphony Flow Wind written by Zhou Yan. They were shocked beyond measure by the complexity of the score, the rigorous conception, and the craziness of the tune.

Xu Lang thought at that time, were they as good as they were when they were sophomores?

Both longing and fearful.

The longing is because they hope they can reach this level when they are in the second grade. The fear is because they know that they probably won't be able to reach this level in the second grade.

By the time they were sophomores, none of their classes had written a work of the caliber of Flow·Wind. At that time, senior brother Zhou Yan had already written a multi-movement symphony in the first semester of third grade.

Now Senior Brother Zhou Yan rarely produces major works, but his output of sketches is much higher than before.

It's like a person who used to write novels often writes essays now, not even short stories.

Everyone knows the reason. Senior Brother Zhou Yan often makes soundtracks for movies, so it is inevitable that he has to write a lot of sketches.

After handing over the homework to the students, Zhou Yan went to find Yu Feng and his old orchestra partners.

Because it was a temporary search, it was naturally impossible to find all the people. A total of eleven or twelve people were gathered together. Zhou Yan took them for a small meeting, and then took them to his home for dinner in the evening.

They didn't cook the dinner themselves. Zhou Yan directly asked a nearby meat-shabu restaurant to deliver several copper pots. A dozen people gathered around the copper pots and ate a meal of meat-shabu.

He also decided that from now on when the orchestra would rehearse in the courtyard, Fang Xiu and the others would not be allowed to cook, but would order food directly from outside.

Anyway, he has a bulging pocket now, so it is no problem to feed these people. Not only is it no problem, but he can also arrange meals for them in different ways every day.

They eat Sichuan cuisine on Monday, Shandong cuisine on Tuesday, and Anhui cuisine on Wednesday... The eight major cuisines can't be eaten in a week. Of course, this can only be thought of. There are many restaurants around them, but they want to be close to them. It is quite difficult to come up with the eight major cuisines.

Zhou Yan felt that he had made the right purchase of this courtyard house. At least it would be good for everyone to practice piano and eat. If he had bought an apartment or a bungalow, it would naturally not be so convenient.

After dinner, everyone else left, and Yu Feng stayed to chat with Zhou Yan alone for a while.

The two of them are still a little different from others now. Yu Feng has been teaching in the school for a year, and Zhou Yan has also decided to stay in the school and has taken over many classes, so they are both school teachers.

Senior Brother Yu...oh, no, I should call you Professor Yu now, right? Zhou Yan said with a smile.

Yu Feng waved his hand, It hasn't been completely decided yet, and the professional titles are different between us. Let's call me Senior Brother Yu.

Although Yu Feng just graduated last year, he has been promoted to associate professor this year. He is currently going through the process, and it should not take too long to be confirmed.

Therefore, compared to Zhou Yan and Jia Guoping, Yu Feng is more popular.

Just one year after graduation, he was promoted to associate professor. This thing is scary just to hear it.

Jia Guoping has no chance to surpass Yu Feng, because Jia Guoping is one year older than Yu Feng.

And compared to Yu Feng, Jia Guoping's academic qualifications are a bit lower. He graduated with a bachelor's degree, while Yu Feng graduated with a master's degree.

Zhou Yan may still have some hope. After all, Zhou Yan is only twenty-two years old this year and there are still six years left before Yu Feng. And if Zhou Yan didn't have any other special reasons or went to further his studies, he would just teach honestly in school. Even if it was sixteen years, let alone six years, he probably wouldn't be able to become an associate professor.

Senior Brother Yu, I think our group of junior brothers and sisters are all very good. Why don't we form a symphony orchestra, and you can lead them to perform performances inside and outside the school. Zhou Yan smiled, and entered directly without making any detours. Theme: I have one more song. We can practice it after the graduation concert.

Yu Feng raised his eyebrows at first, then shook his head, I'm afraid I can't survive. I don't have much time left.

Zhou Yancuo said in astonishment, Senior brother, what do you say? Why does it sound so scary?

Yu Feng knew that Zhou Yan had misunderstood, and laughed, Don't think about it, I mean, I don't have much time in school.

Oh, that's it. Zhou Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Yu Feng's expression was too scary. Then he asked, Brother, where are you going?

At the beginning of July, I will go to Italy to conduct the Naples Orchestra to participate in the European Modern Music Festival. After that, I will conduct the Portuguese Symphony Orchestra to tour Europe for about two weeks. I will not have time to be in school this year.

Yu Feng smiled and continued, I don't have time next year. Next year I will go to Canada and Germany for academic visits. In the next few years, I'm afraid I will just be running around. Either visiting or visiting Conducting an orchestra performance.”

After listening to Yu Feng's words, Zhou Yan smiled and said, Congratulations, Senior Brother Yu.

Following Yu Feng's development, he will soon become famous internationally and become an internationally renowned conductor.

At Yu Feng's age, when he is full of energy, he really wants to go to Europe to conduct more conductors and conduct orchestras, and brush up the dungeons.

It's just a pity that once Yu Feng left, their orchestra would lose a conductor.

Commanding talents are already scarce, and high-end talents like Yu Feng are even rarer.

In fact, Yu Feng came to conduct a small band like theirs purely for the sake of his classmates. Just listen to what he just said. In the second half of the year, he will conduct the Naples Orchestra and the Portuguese Orchestra, even if they are not top-notch orchestras. The orchestra is also at the top level in Europe.

Yu Feng smiled at this time and said, Junior brother, don't worry. After I stay in Europe for two or three years, I will come back to you as a conductor. I am very happy during this period, especially the study of your scores. The more I study, , the more I can feel what it means to look at mountains or mountains, or to look at clouds or clouds.

Senior brother, what you said is too exaggerated. Zhou Yan smiled and said very sincerely, We will always be waiting for you where you are.

Although he said so, Zhou Yan knew that when Yu Feng came back from finishing the dungeon in Europe, his status would be completely different. It would be okay to have him make a guest appearance occasionally, but it would definitely not be okay to have him serve as the conductor of the permanent orchestra. possible.

Zhou Yan wants to form an on-campus orchestra, first of all for himself. In the future, his music can be played by the orchestra at any time, or even recorded. In addition, with an orchestra, it will be more convenient for other students in the composition department in the future.

The school originally had a band, but it didn't suit Zhou Yan's liking, and it wasn't something Zhou Yan could use if he wanted to.

Now that he learned that Yu Feng was going abroad, Zhou Yan could only find another commander.

In fact, there is no need to find a fixed conductor. Whoever has time can be asked to come. Although the command department has a small number of people, there are still some people in the several grades combined.

While the two were chatting, the phone in Zhou Yan's room rang.

Senior Brother Yu, let me answer the phone first.

You pick it up. It's getting late, so I'll go back first. Yu Feng smiled and waved to Zhou Yan, Don't give it away.

Zhou Yan was not polite and let Yu Feng go on his own.

After Yu Feng walked out, Zhou Yan picked up the phone.

The call was from Zhang Youan.

Zhou Yan, are you free this Friday afternoon?

What's going on? Zhou Yan asked.

I have contacted Li Yiding. If you have time on Friday afternoon, we can go meet her together. Zhang Youan said.

Zhou Yan counted the days, today was Tuesday, and there were only two days left before Friday.

The songs he wrote for Three Kingdoms have not been recorded yet, so he must be a little pressed for time.

But after thinking about it, he still said, No problem, what time is it Friday afternoon?

I will let you know the specific details after I confirm it on Thursday.

good.

After hanging up the phone with Zhang Youan, Zhou Yan took out the scores he had written before and sorted them out.

Since time was tight, Zhou Yan decided to record less.

In this half month, although the latter few days were more leisurely, he had already written quite a few songs in the first few days.

After reading the script, the first song that Zhou Yan thought of was the song Seven Swords War Hymn written by Kenji Kawai for the movie Seven Swords.

This piece of music has a strong rhythm and majestic momentum, and is very suitable for war scenes.

In addition, Zhou Yan wrote some songs by himself, some of which were inspired by his own feelings, and some of which were adapted from some music in the Neon game Three Kingdoms.

This time Zhou Yan plans to record three songs. In addition to Seven Swords War Hymn, the other two songs are one adapted from Grudge in Romance of the Three Kingdoms 10 and the other is Zong Ma written by Zhou Yan himself. .

Horse is placed before the war, Hymn of the Seven Swords is placed during the war, and Sprouting is placed after the war. It happens to be a complete war.

Horse and Sprouting are relatively short, and Zhou Yan only plans to record versions within thirty seconds, so the recording is relatively simple.

The key is Seven Swords War Hymn. Not only is it long, but in order to reflect the intensity of this song, even though it is just a sample song, Zhou Yan will also add more orchestration.

The more orchestration, the more musicians are needed, and recording will naturally be more troublesome.

So with the remaining two days, Zhou Yan summoned Yu Ran and the others to urgently rehearse Seven Swords Battle Hymn, and then recorded Zong Ma and Sprouting.

When recording Sprouting, Zhou Yan added some synthetic sound effects, coupled with flute and violin, and it took less than an hour to record one song.

When recording Horse, it was a little more troublesome.

Although the music is simple, Zhou Yan still wants to record the music in a richer way.

In addition to flutes, violins, and drums, Zhou Yan also added the sound of horse hooves.

He first sampled the sound of horse hooves into the synthesizer, and then used the synthesizer to arrange the rhythm of the horse's hooves, trying to make the rhythm of Horse and Seven Swords War Hymn be connected together.

That's when the sound of horse hooves in Horse gets stronger and stronger and finally disappears, and is followed by the murderous Seven Swords War Hymn.

…

On Friday afternoon, Zhou Yan made an appointment with Zhang Youan to meet under the production center building at three o'clock. He arrived downstairs ten minutes early. Assistant Zhang Youan hadn't arrived yet, so he was waiting downstairs.

After waiting for about five or six minutes, he suddenly heard someone calling him.

Director Zhou?

Zhou Yan turned around and saw that the person calling him was a young man. It was Xu Tongtong from Yanjing TV. When the opening ceremony of The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly was held at Yanjing Studio, it was Xu Tongtong who went to interview.

Originally, Xu Tongtong only saw Zhou Yan's profile and was a little afraid to confirm. When Zhou Yan turned around and saw his face, Xu Tongtong said with surprise, It's really you, Director Zhou.

Zhou Yan smiled and was a little surprised, Reporter Xu, why are you here?

Xu Tongtong didn't expect that Zhou Yan still remembered his surname Xu, and he was quite happy. I'm here to do something. Director Zhou, what do you want to do here?

I'm here to see Teacher Li Yiding. Zhou Yan said.

When he heard that Zhou Yan was looking for Li Yiding, Xu Tongtong immediately understood, Director Zhou, are you here for the soundtrack of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms?

Then Xu Tongtong's professional skills were automatically activated and he asked continuously.

Director Zhou, did you take over the soundtrack work for Three Kingdoms?

I did hear Director Wang say last time that their crew is looking for a soundtrack. Are you sure it's you now?

The soundtrack for Three Kingdoms was definitely not done by one person. Was it just you and Sister Li, or was there someone else?

Zhou Yan smiled. Xu Tongtong seemed to be relatively familiar with the situation at the production center.

First of all, Li Yiding is not very famous, but Xu Tongtong knew it as soon as he heard it. In addition, from Xu Tongtong's tone, he was quite familiar with Li Yiding and Wang Fulin, so he should run here often.

But this is normal. Xu Tongtong should be responsible for the news of film and television dramas at Yanjing TV Station, so naturally he has more dealings with the TV production center.

Regarding Xu Tongtong's questions, Zhou Yan just smiled and said, It's not decided yet.

Xu Tongtong nodded and did not ask any more questions, but said very enthusiastically, Director Zhou, you don't know where Sister Li's office is? I will take you there.

I'm waiting for someone.

As soon as Zhou Yan finished speaking, he saw Zhang Youan getting out of a car.

The person I was waiting for is here.

Seeing Zhou Yan and others arriving, Xu Tongtong smiled and said, Director Zhou, I'll go in first. If you're still here when things are over, I'll go find you.

Okay. Zhou Yan nodded with a smile.

…

Li Yiding does not have a separate office, he just sits in a large office with everyone else.

However, although the office is large, there are not many people in it. When Zhou Yan and the others arrived, there were only five or six people in the entire large office, and the office environment was very quiet.

Zhang Youan took Zhou Yan straight to an office area in the back.

Teacher Li, we are here. Zhang Youan whispered.

Because the office is so quiet, people tend to lower their voices unconsciously.

Li Yiding was immersed in writing. When he heard the voice, he looked up and saw it was Zhang Youan. He smiled first, then looked at Zhou Yan, Is this Zhou Yan?

Hello, Teacher Li. Zhou Yan greeted with a smile.

Hello.

Li Yiding put the documents on the table into a drawer, then stood up and said, It's not convenient to talk here in the office. I'll take you to the conference room.

Okay. Zhou Yan and Zhang Youan nodded.

Li Yiding is in his forties, wears a pair of glasses, dresses very simply, and exudes an intellectual beauty all over his body.

She speaks in a gentle voice, but is straightforward in what she does.

From the time Zhou Yan and the others saw her to the time the three of them entered the conference room, the whole process only took more than a minute.

After entering the conference room, Li Yiding said, I'm sorry, I'm too busy during this period. Let's not waste time and get down to business. Director Wang means that the members of the soundtrack team will be decided before October. And what he means is that we need to find two or more composers. I have a different opinion. I think that we can just find another one, and we need to decide on it as soon as possible, preferably before July.

Zhou Yan nodded, I understand your considerations. The more pieces the soundtrack is divided into, the harder it will be to unify the style.

I really think so. If there are only two people and there are differences in styles, we can discuss with each other and accommodate each other. It will be difficult to do it with more people. Li Yiding nodded and said, Zhou Yan, I heard that you The soundtrack in Forbidden City: Memory, although several songs such as Memory of the Forbidden City are not exactly the same style as the TV series Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the route is actually similar. In addition, you wrote for Sanmao Joins the Army The song Awakening is also very exciting. You can handle both styles, and the soundtrack of Three Kingdoms should also be able to do it. I wonder what you think of the soundtrack of this TV series?

Zhou Yan originally wanted to give Li Yiding an emotional reading comprehension, but after seeing Li Yiding's style, he gave up the idea. No matter how much he talked to people like Li Yiding, it was better to show her the real thing.

He took out a tape directly from his bag and handed it to Li Yiding, During this period, I also spent a lot of time thinking about the script and wrote three songs, which were all recorded on it.

Li Yiding was a little surprised. She didn't expect Zhou Yan to be more direct than her. What surprised her even more was that Zhou Yan had already written three songs.

It has only been more than ten days since Zhang Youan came to talk to them about this matter. It seems that Zhou Yan's composition speed is also acceptable.

Li Yiding attaches great importance to the speed of composing. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms has too many episodes and naturally requires a lot of soundtracks. If the composing speed cannot keep up, it will be difficult to complete the task.

Some time ago, Li Yiding made a rough estimate by himself. Large and small, they would have to write at least 150 pieces of music for The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and possibly even 200 pieces.

Of course, although the numbers are scary, many of the soundtracks in the middle are actually relatively simple, and only need to make some small changes based on other soundtracks.

But even so, the workload is still relatively large, and it will be very difficult if the composing speed is not good enough.

Okay, you guys sit down for a while and I'll go next door to get the cassette player.

After saying that, Li Yiding left the conference room and returned two or three minutes later.

The tape has been put into the cassette player in advance, and it can be played directly after it arrives.

The first song is Horse, which only lasts about twenty seconds.

After listening to it, Li Yiding also nodded. The first half of this piece was played with flute and violin, and in the second half, drums and horse hooves were added. The sound of horse hooves became more and more urgent, giving people the feeling that a storm is about to come. a feeling of.

When you hear this song, you can feel that a battle is about to happen. So there is no doubt that this song is for the battle.

The second song is Sprouting. Because these two songs are relatively short, Zhou Yan recorded these two first.

This piece is slightly longer than Horse, but it's only thirty seconds.

Compared with the previous song Horse, the mood of this song is slowly downward, and a trumpet is added in it, which makes it a little more sad and lonely. Li Yiding did not think of the scene of cleaning up the battlefield after the war, but thought of cleaning up the battlefield after the war. At dawn, the army was resting, or it was a scene like Liu Bei seeing Xu Shu off and looking at each other in farewell.

After listening to the two pieces of music, Li Yiding glanced at Zhou Yan and nodded secretly.

Although these two pieces of music were very short, they showed Zhou Yan's level. Of course, she was not surprised. After all, with the songs in Forbidden City: Memory being the best, these two pieces of music were nothing.

I haven't listened to the third song yet, but Li Yiding has already given Zhou Yan an eighty-point in his mind and listed him as a key consideration.

They have considered other candidates before, but none have scored 80 points yet.

Pressing the play button again, Li Yiding started listening to the third song.

Li Yiding originally thought that the third song should be similar to the previous two, both short songs of twenty or thirty seconds. After all, it is not long, and the soundtrack of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms does not need any long songs. It is just two or three songs. Ten seconds is very useful.

But when the third piece of music played, Li Yiding was stunned. This was an exciting march.

The so-called march is a kind of rhythmic music. It originally originated from war and was used by the army to inspire soldiers' fighting will.

The rhythm is sharp, exciting, passionate, and heart-pounding. These are the characteristics of marches, and this third piece is just like that.

Just listening to the music, one can imagine thousands of troops rushing forward in the flying dust, the weapons refracting dazzling light in the sun, and the military flags fluttering in the wind constantly changing.

Although this piece of music does not include the sound of horse hooves, it gives people the feeling of hearing the sound of horse hooves. The sound of countless horse hooves comes together, as if an army is pressing down on the country.

As the music became more and more intense, the thousands of troops turned into a surging tide, with a momentum that drowned everything and swept them all together.

What Li Yiding didn't expect was that the piece was very long, five or six minutes long, and the instruments were very complete.

In other words, after Zhou Yan finished writing this piece of music, he specially found an orchestra to perform it. Judging from the momentum of the piece, the orchestra had at least thirty members.

Moreover, the difficulty of writing a song with such a high degree of completion is completely different from the previous two songs. Just the orchestration takes a lot of time.

After all three songs ended, Li Yiding held his hand on the radio and meditated for a while.

With these three songs, there is no problem at all in letting Zhou Yan take charge of the soundtrack for more than 40 episodes. The only thing that makes Li Yiding a little worried is that Zhou Yan's style is relatively new and the use of orchestration is somewhat different from her previous designs.

If Zhou Yan is to be used, there may still be some running-in between the two of them.

About half a minute later, Li Yiding pulled the tape out of the cassette player, and then said to Zhou Yan and Zhang Youan, You two, rest here for a while while I go out.

Zhou Yan smiled and said, It's okay. Teacher Li, you can go ahead. We will sit here for a while.

Li Yiding nodded and left with the tape.

Once she left, she was gone for a long time.

A full forty minutes later, Li Yiding appeared in the conference room again.

You two, come with me to Director Wang's office.

When he said this, Li Yiding had a smile on his face.

When he saw this smile, Zhang Youan also smiled, because he already knew that Zhou Yan's soundtrack for Three Kingdoms was probably done.

The two followed Li Yiding to Wang Fulin's office. As soon as they reached the corridor on the fourth floor, they heard the passionate melody of Seven Swords War Hymn.

Next, they didn't need Li Yiding to lead the way. They followed Yin Yin to find Wang Fulin's office.

In the room, Wang Fulin was standing next to the radio cassette player, staring at the radio cassette player playing music in trance.

Dong dong.

Hearing the knock on the door, Wang Fulin turned around, saw Li Yiding and the others, smiled, and pressed the pause button on the radio.

Is this Zhou Yan? As he spoke, Wang Fulin walked up to Zhou Yan, stretched out his hand to shake Zhou Yan's hand, Sure enough, a hero comes from a young age. When I heard the soundtrack of The Forbidden City: Memory, I was already very excited. I was surprised, and my jaw dropped even more when I heard these three songs this time.”

Wang Fulin is in his early sixties, a little thin and a little dark. Although his temples are slightly gray, he is still very energetic and does not look like a man who is already sixty.

Although he is thin, his hands are broad and strong.

Zhou Yan's hand was held, and he fully felt Wang Fulin's power. He smiled and replied: Director Wang is too complimentary. Such a big plan as The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is not easy. Compared with Director Wang's central coordination, I can do it. I'm just adding bricks and mortar. If the music satisfies you, it can be considered that I have made a small contribution to this plan.

You are too modest. Wang Fulin waved his hand and asked Zhou Yan and the others to sit down, Let's sit down and talk.

After everyone sat down, Wang Fulin spoke again, I don't want you to just make a trivial contribution. I also hope that you and Yiding can work together to contribute more to our Three Kingdoms.

As long as the crew needs it, I will naturally be obliged to do it.

Wang Fulin nodded, My original intention was to find two or three more composers to share the work for Yi Ding, but we just communicated for a while, and finally I was convinced by her that I won't find anyone else for the soundtrack of Three Kingdoms. It's up to you two to be responsible. But I also want to give you a shot. The project Three Kingdoms is not small, and there is a lot of soundtrack work. Now that there are only two of you, the burden has become heavier. You have to keep up with the subsequent progress. Come on.

The reason why Wang Fulin wanted to find more composers before was because he was worried about not being able to keep up with the progress. Although he was persuaded by Li Yiding now, his worries were not completely eliminated, so he emphasized it to Zhou Yan again.

Zhou Yan said, I am still relatively young, so I am naturally under a lot of pressure when faced with such a heavy responsibility. But I have a lot of ideas for the soundtrack of Three Kingdoms, so I am confident that I can cooperate with Teacher Li to complete this task.

Wang Fulin laughed when he heard Zhou Yan's answer. Although Zhou Yan had been very humble just now, he seemed very confident now.

This is very good. Young people, be humble when you should be humble. When you should move forward, you must move forward. Don't be timid.

When it comes to work, it doesn't mean that you can do it well if you believe you can do it well. But if you don't have confidence, then nine times out of ten you won't be able to do it well.

After chatting with Zhou Yan for another ten minutes, Wang Fulin looked at the time and said with a smile, Zhou Yan, the music score has been decided. If anything happens in the future, you and Yi Ding will be contacted. Of course, if there is anything else you need me to do, If you need help, you can come to me directly.

Zhou Yan knew that Wang Fulin was about to see off guests, so he stood up with a smile and said, Okay, then we won't disturb Director Wang.

…

Coming out of Wang Fulin's office, Li Yiding said with a smile, Zhou Yan, please give me your contact information later. Let's talk more during this time.

After the matter was settled, Li Yiding was very happy. She had different opinions from Wang Fulin before. She just wanted to hire another composer and confirm it as soon as possible. Today, all her demands were met.

Zhou Yan handed one of his business cards to Li Yiding directly from his pocket, Teacher Li, here is my contact information.

This is a new business card printed by Zhang Youan for Zhou Yan. In addition to Zhou Yan's personal number and paging number, it also has Zhang Youan's contact information. If others cannot get through to Zhou Yan in the future, they can also call Zhang Youan.

After taking Zhou Yan's business card, Li Yiding raised his eyebrows, quite surprised.

Business cards are not a novelty. It's just that these things are usually owned by businessmen who run business. Ordinary people don't carry business cards.

However, Zhou Yan's business card is different from those of businessmen. The information on it is very simple. In addition to Tomson's logo, it is Zhou Yan's name and contact information. Unlike those businessmen, there are a lot of names on the business card.

Okay, I'll accept it. Putting the business card in his pocket, Li Yiding smiled again, Let's go, go to my office now, and I'll give you the rest of the script.

On the way back to Li Yiding's office, the three of them happened to bump into Xu Tongtong.

Seeing Zhou Yan and the others, Xu Tongtong smiled and said, I just went to Sister Li's office to look for you, but I found you were not there and was about to leave.

Li Yiding looked at Xu Tongtong and said with some surprise, Do you know each other?

After asking, Li Yiding suddenly realized, By the way, Forbidden City: Memory was produced by Xiao Xu.

Xu Tongtong nodded, Well, Director Zhou has quite a lot of cooperation with our station.

Li Yiding was a little surprised when he heard that Xu Tongtong called Zhou Yan his director, but he didn't ask any more questions. He just said to Xu Tongtong, Xiao Xu, come and sit in my office?

Okay, won't it delay your work? Xu Tongtong said with a smile.

No, we've already finished talking about work matters.

Xu Tongtong asked, Does Director Zhou want to score Three Kingdoms?

Li Yiding didn't hide it, smiled and nodded, Well, Zhou Yan came here today to discuss this matter, and it has been decided now.

Hearing this, Xu Tongtong said excitedly, This is good material. I must make an interview for you.

Li Yiding smiled and said, Well, it's just the soundtrack. If there's anything to interview, if you want to interview, just interview the directors and actors.

If it was just a soundtrack, Xu Tongtong would certainly not want to be interviewed.

Behind the scenes work, except for directors and screenwriters, other types of work rarely attract the attention of the outside world.

But Zhou Yan is different. Zhou Yan is not just a composer, he is also an actor and a director, and the movie The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly directed by Zhou Yan will be released in July.

Their TV station has already conducted an interview with Zhou Yan and several other creative staff before, but it has not been broadcast outside. Now it is time to conduct another interview and put the two interviews together into a small topic.

The Clermont-Ferrand International Film Festival award-winning director scored the soundtrack for The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which is a lot of gimmicks.

Xu Tongtong said with a smile, Anyway, Zhou Yan's movie will be released soon. It's just a good time to interact with Three Kingdoms, which can be regarded as a promotion for Three Kingdoms.

Zhou Yan's movie? Li Yiding asked in surprise, What movie did Zhou Yan star in?

She just thought Zhou Yan was acting in something and didn't think about the director at all.

Now it was Xu Tongtong's turn to be confused. He looked at Li Yiding, then at Zhou Yan and Zhang Youan next to him.

Director Zhou, you didn't tell Sister Li that you are still a director?

Zhang Youan smiled and explained, Because Three Kingdoms is a soundtrack work, there is no further extension.

Zhou Yan also smiled and said, Actually, there is nothing to say. I did make a movie, but it had no impact on the soundtrack of Three Kingdoms.

Xu Tongtong smiled and said, Director Zhou, you are too humble. The film won the Clermont-Ferrand Film Festival Grand Prix.

In fact, Xu Tongtong was wrong. First of all, the short film The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly won the award, not the upcoming feature film. Secondly, the award was not the Film Festival Grand Prize, but the Special Jury Award. However, Zhou Yan I didn't correct him because it was a waste of time and unnecessary.

Li Yiding didn't expect that Zhou Yan was also a director, and the movies he made sounded pretty good, and they all won international awards. After all, she was not from the film industry, so naturally she didn't know much about these film festivals.

When Zhang Youan came to them before, he only told them that Zhou Yan had previously participated in the soundtracks of Raise the Red Lantern, Reply from Heaven and Forbidden City: Memory. He did not mention at all that Zhou Yan had won awards for directing films. .

This is too low-key, Li Yiding couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The reason why Zhang Youan didn't talk about the director before was not because he was keeping a low profile, but because he had his own considerations.

The matter of directing a movie is of no use to Zhou Yan's campaign to be the soundtrack composer for The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Moreover, the movie has not yet been released and they have not seen it, so the effect is even worse.

Since it has no effect, there is no need to boast.

After learning that Zhou Yan was still a director, Li Yiding was also very interested in the movie he made. When she learned that the movie would be released in the mainland on July 10, she also said she must go see it.
