1990: Starting from Baojia Street

After Xiao Ge left, Zhou Yan put his luggage on the empty bed and gave Sun Yanjun a cigarette with a smile.

Sun Yanjun waved his hand, Thank you, thank you very much, I don't smoke.

Maybe it was because he had been playing Liu Bei for too long, but when Sun Yanjun spoke, he had an air of Uncle Liu Huang, as if he was on the stage.

Zhou Yan smiled and took back his cigarette, Teacher Sun...

Sun Yanjun waved his hand again, Hey, goodbye, Director Zhou, you can call me Lao Sun, or Brother Sun. Teacher Sun can't afford this.

Brother Sun, please don't call me Director Zhou. Just call me Xiao Zhou, or just call me Zhou Yan.

Okay, no problem, then I'll call him by his first name. Sun Yanjun smiled.

Well, just call me by my name... I'm going to cause you trouble if I stay here for a few days.

What trouble? It's all work.

Sun Yanjun is from the Northeast and has a cheerful personality, but he doesn't talk too much. After the two chatted for a while, they heard a shout from outside, Brother, look at me...

The two turned around and saw a round-faced man with thick eyebrows and big eyes standing at the door, holding a red plastic bag. It was the actor Li Jingfei who played Zhang Fei.

Li Jingfei was originally excited, but when he entered the dormitory and saw someone else besides Sun Yanjun, he was stunned.

Sun Yanjun introduced Zhou Yan with a smile, Zhou Yan, this is Li Jingfei who plays Zhang Fei. Third brother, this is our Three Kingdoms soundtrack director Zhou Yan.

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

Li Jingfei probably didn't expect that the soundtrack director of Three Kingdoms would be so young and be in their room.

Hello, hello.

Li Jingfei's voice is not very loud. It sounds quite gentle, which is very different from Zhang Fei in movies and TV series. In this drama, most of the actors did not use their original voices, but hired professional dubbing actors, and some characters did not use the same dubbing actor.

Sun Yanjun glanced at the bag in Li Jingfei's hand, What are you holding?

Li Jingfei said with a smile, I made some peanuts.

Where did you get it?

Brother, don't worry about where you got it from. It's enough for us to have a drink at night.

Sun Yanjun nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Zhou Yan smiled. He didn't expect that a small bag of peanuts could make Li Jingfei so happy. This shows that the conditions on their set are indeed difficult.

Zhou Yan also expected the hardship here. The filming place was originally in a ravine, and even if he had money, it would be difficult to buy anything.

Not to mention they don’t have any money.

Actors like Sun Yanjun and others are paid very low salaries. Zhou Yan heard Zhang Youan say before that for leading actors like Liu, Guan, and Zhang brothers, the salary for one episode is only more than 200 yuan. After several years of filming a movie, it adds up to a mess. It's only twenty to thirty thousand yuan, and they can't get the money yet. They won't be able to pay it to them until the filming is finished.

When Li Jingfei put the peanuts away, Zhou Yan gave him another cigarette. He looked at the Hongtashan in Zhou Yan's hand, then took the cigarette with a smile, Director Zhou, are you here to inspect the work?

Hey, Director Li Yiding and I are here to study on site. Teacher Li, don't call me Director Zhou. Call me Zhou Yan.

Li Jingfei lit the cigarette and said with a smile, Then don't call me Teacher Li, call me Lao Li, or call me Brother Fei.

Sun Yanjun smiled and said, Zhou Yan will stay here for a few days, and we will be roommates in the next few days.

Welcome, welcome, now there's another smoker. Brother, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it anymore.

Zhou Yan doesn't smoke either.

Li Jingfei looked at Zhou Yan in surprise, I saw that you passed the cigarette very smoothly, I thought you were smoking.

Zhou Yan said with a smile, I'm good at passing cigarettes, but not very good at smoking.

Li Jingfei smiled and nodded, This is a good habit. In fact, the accommodation here is quite good. I went to some places to shoot outdoor scenes and stayed in the guest house for two yuan and fifty a day. Oops, even the mosquito net can't stop the mosquitoes.

Sun Yanjun strongly agreed, Especially when you go to the south, the mosquitoes are so numerous it's scary.

No.

Zhou Yan smiled. It could be seen that they were afraid of being bitten by mosquitoes, but it was autumn now, and there were not many mosquitoes in Zhuo City, so the situation was much better.

The three of them chatted for a while, and Xiao Ge brought the quilt over.

After Zhou Yan had made the bed and it was time to prepare meals at the station, Sun Yanjun and Li Jingfei were quite enthusiastic and took the initiative to take Zhou Yan to prepare meals.

After dinner, Zhou Yan chatted with the two of them in the dormitory for a while. Li Yiding came to see him, and then they went to have a meeting with episode directors Shen Haofang and Zhang Zhongyi.

The content of the meeting was nothing special, and it was not a meeting specifically for their soundtrack team. It was mainly about discussing the shooting plan for the next two weeks.

I have to say that the crew of Three Kingdoms had a lot of trivial troubles. During the two- to three-hour meeting, for more than an hour, the two directors were dealing with those trivial troubles, such as costumes, props, and logistics. , almost every group will give them some trouble.

The director is really like the mother-in-law of the crew, who has to deal with everything. Unlike Zhou Yan's previous filming of The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly, the crew only had a small number of people, and it was basically a literary drama, so there were fewer worries.

After the meeting, Li Yiding took Zhou Yan to visit the movie theater and some nearby filming spots.

When they went back in the evening, the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang were drinking. As soon as they saw Zhou Yan coming back, Sun Yanjun and Li Jingfei greeted him warmly, Zhou Yan, you're back just in time, let's have a drink together.

Zhou Yan smiled and waved, You're welcome, I've already eaten.

Lu Shuming had already heard from Sun Yanjun and others that Zhou Yan would stay in their dormitory for a few days, and greeted Zhou Yan with a smile, Hello, Zhou Yan.

You are Teacher Lu, right?

Call me Lao Lu, or call me second brother. Lu Shuming smiled and waved his hand.

Okay, second brother.

The three brothers are all quite tall. Sun Yanjun and Li Jingfei are about the same height as Zhou Yan. Lu Shuming is half a head taller than the three of them. He is also very tall and has a very loud voice. It really has to do with the energy of the second master.

After hearing that Zhou Yuan had finished eating, the three of them stopped being polite and started drinking by themselves.

Zhou Yan came closer and stretched his head to look at the small wooden table. The only hard dish to go with wine was the peanuts that Li Jingfei got from nowhere in the morning. The others were some vegetarian dishes brought from the canteen. There was not even a trace of meat in them. .

No wonder Li Jingfei was so happy in the morning. This bag of peanuts was so important for the drink in the evening.

Zhou Yan smiled, turned around and pulled out his bag from under the bed, and then took out two cans of beef from it.

Brothers, what's wrong with drinking without ordering some food? Come on, I'll give you some food. Zhou Yan placed the can directly on the wooden table.

The three brothers looked at Zhou Yan with surprised expressions on their faces.

Li Jingfei swallowed, Zhou Yan, you brought this with you when you came to the station?

Zhou Yan smiled and said, I heard that the conditions here are difficult, so I brought some with me.

In addition to canned beef, there are four or five cans in Zhou Yan's bag, including pork, fish, and beef. There are also two bags of instant noodles and a bottle of prune, vegetable and minced meat sauce.

This, how can this be so embarrassing... Sun Yanjun hesitated.

Li Jingfei and Lu Shuming had already picked up a can and opened the lid.

Brother Zhou is so interested, how can you refuse, brother? Lu Shuming smiled and took out a piece of beef from the can and put it directly into Sun Yanjun's bowl.

Li Jingfei ate a piece by himself, then took out an enamel teapot from under the wooden table and handed it to Zhou Yan, Brother Zhou, don't worry after you've eaten. Come and have a drink with us.

When Zhou Yan was about to decline politely, Lu Shuming had already picked up the plastic pot and poured wine into the enamel tea jar, Yes, today is the first time we meet, and this wine can be regarded as the wine that our three brothers have brought to you.

It was hard to refuse such hospitality, so Zhou Yan took the teapot and felt it was heavy as soon as he took it. This cup was worth at least three or four taels.

Seeing Zhou Yan take the wine, Sun Yanjun was no longer embarrassed. He picked up the piece of beef in the bowl and put it into his mouth, chewed it, and then showed a relieved expression.

Lu Shuming ate several pieces in a row, and couldn't help but sigh, I've been feeling confused during this period. Brother, your beef is really a lifesaver.

Zhou Yan also found it interesting to hear their exaggeration. Since he had good food every day, he didn't have much feelings for canned beef. But seeing Lu Shuming and the others eating so deliciously, he even felt a little greedy. .

Come, let's have a drink with Brother Zhou.

Lu Shuming took the lead in picking up the cup, and the other two followed suit to respect Zhou Yan.

Seeing the three of them toasting in front of him, Zhou Yan always felt like they were sworn brothers in Taoyuan.

I don’t know if they usually have this style or if they were caught in the filming, but I always feel like they have the same look in the movie when they move and move.

I respect the three brothers. Zhou Yan picked up the wine glass and greeted back.

The wine is naturally not a good one, and the taste in the mouth is very average, but the drinking atmosphere is really good.

When it comes to drinking, whether the wine is good or not, whether the food is rich or not is secondary. The atmosphere of drinking is the most important. Zhou Yan was infected by the atmosphere and drank a little more.

Sun Yanjun said with a smile, It seems that Zhou Yan has a good drinking capacity. Second brother, you have met your match.

It's good to meet an opponent. When you meet an opponent, a thousand glasses of wine are too few. What you need most when drinking is an opponent. Lu Shuming smiled and raised his glass to Zhou Yan. Come on, Brother Zhou, let's have a drink alone.

Second brother, I respect you.

After Zhou Yan and Lu Shuming had a drink, Sun Yanjun and Li Jingfei paid tribute to Zhou Yan again.

At the end of the first round, Zhou Yan responded to the three of them one by one.

After two rounds, Zhou Yan drank seven sips and finished the wine in the cup.

As soon as his glass was empty, Lu Shuming came over with a wine pot and poured the same amount for Zhou Yan. The three of them also poured another glass each.

In the second cup, the pace slowed down, mainly because Sun Yanjun and Li Jingfei were holding back. The second brother Lu Shuming was still very strong.

After drinking more than half of the second cup, Sun Yanjun suddenly got into singing mood and started singing Night at the Military Port. Lu Shuming and Li Jingfei were not surprised at all and sang along with him.

It can be seen that drinking and singing should be their regular program.

After singing Night at the Military Port, when they were about to sing the second song Ocean, My Hometown, Zhou Yan said with a smile, Wait a moment.

The three of them turned to look at him, What are you waiting for?

Zhou Yan said nothing and ran to take out the bamboo flute.

I'll accompany you.

Lu Shuming smiled and said, We forgot, brother, you are still a musician.

I don't want to be a musician, I just know how to play the flute.

Sun Yanjun laughed and said, Then I'll ask you to accompany us.

Then the three of them continued singing, accompanied by Zhou Yan playing the flute, and the atmosphere reached a new climax.

At this time, Xiao Ge passed by the door and stretched his head to take a look inside. Seeing that it was very lively inside, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He was originally worried that Zhou Yan wouldn't get used to living here, but he didn't expect Zhou Yan to blend in so quickly. .

After Sun Yanjun and the others sang a few songs, Lu Shuming asked Zhou Yan, Your music director should also write your own music. Do you have any music you wrote yourself that you can play for us?

Zhou Yan smiled and nodded, No problem.

Then he played a piece of Zong Ma that he had written for The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and then played a piece of Missing Through Time and Space.

Listening to the music, Lu Shuming and the others also lamented that after drinking so many times on the set, today's drink suddenly raised the bar, with canned beef and flute playing.

Although they didn't know much about music, they thought the music sounded good and Zhou Yan had something special.

After Zhou Yan finished playing two pieces of music, Lu Shuming and the others took Zhou Yan to drink again.

Come on, come on, keep drinking.

…

The next morning, Li Yiding saw Zhou Yan and said with a smile, You had a concert last night.

They live not far away. When Zhou Yan plays the flute here, Li Yiding can naturally hear it.

Zhou Yan smiled sheepishly and said, I played a few songs for them casually.

You blend in pretty quickly.

They're all very easy to get along with.

In fact, it’s not that people are easy to get along with, it’s mainly that canned beef is easy to get along with. Zhou Yan’s ability to integrate into it so quickly last night is naturally due to the canned beef. If he didn’t bring out the canned beef last night, Li Jingfei and the others would not drag him around again. drink wine.

Li Yiding smiled and said nothing more.

Although she doesn't like others drinking, it's a good thing that Zhou Yan has a good relationship with the main actors. Having more contact with these actors will be somewhat beneficial to the soundtrack.

Li Yiding herself often chats with actors. After all, actors are in the show every day, and their perspective of observation is very different from theirs. Sometimes what the actors say can give her some inspiration.

Collecting works does not mean just watching from the sidelines. In many cases, you just need to chat with others. This is actually similar to literary creation.

In the morning, when Zhou Yan and Li Yiding were filming scenes in the cinema, they happened to meet the episode director Zhang Zhongyi.

Zhang Zhongyi smiled and said, I was just looking for you.

Li Yiding asked in confusion, Director Zhang, what do you want from us? Are you going to have a meeting today?

No. Zhang Zhong waved his hand, looked at Zhou Yan and said, Tomorrow we will be filming a section of the episode Feng Chu Luo Po. In it, there is a character who stepped forward to inform Zhang Song that Zhang Song was being executed. Are you interested, Zhou Yan?

Me? Zhou Yan looked surprised.

Zhang Zhong nodded and said, Well, it's you. This character not only shows your face, but also has many lines. Do you want to give it a try?

Li Yiding smiled and said, Director Zhang, you are really good at finding people. Zhou Yan has played the leading role before. Why don't you let him play a small role?

She was afraid that Zhou Yan was unwilling and embarrassed to refuse, so she opened her mouth to block it for him.

Zhou Yan smiled and said, It's okay. I'm here anyway, so I can experience our crew in depth.

Hearing what Zhou Yan said, Zhang Zhongyi said with a smile, Yes, being a guest star in the film will also help you create the soundtrack. In that case, it's settled. You have to have time in the afternoon to come to my office. Clothes It’s all ready for you.”

After that, Zhang Zhongyi left.

After Zhang Zhong left, Li Yiding smiled and said to Zhou Yan, Tell Director Wang later that I will give you a salary increase. You can't just get one penny while working two jobs.

Haha, I'll mention it to Director Wang later.

In fact, there is no need to mention Zhou Yan. Once Zhang Zhong asked him to make a cameo, he would definitely be paid. According to the crew's standards, Zhou Yan should be able to get between 80 and 150 yuan for playing this role. This money will be used by the crew later. It will probably be paid to Zhou Yan together with the remuneration for the soundtrack.

Li Yiding was a little confused about Zhang Zhongyi asking Zhou Yan to make a cameo. She had read the script, and she also had an impression of the episode of Feng Xiao Luo Po. Although the subordinate who came to report the news had some lines, he was just an anonymous person, so he could find anyone. play.

And it is precisely this kind of role that Li Yiding doesn't think is suitable for Zhou Yan, because Zhou Yan's image is relatively prominent. If he plays an unknown person, will he overshadow the role?

Zhang Zhongyi had also thought about Li Yiding's consideration before, but after much deliberation, he felt that since it was only a one-time cameo, even if the image was more prominent, the impact would not be big.

Moreover, Zhou Yanzheng'er has acted in movies eight times, so he is definitely more useful than ordinary extras.

…

Zhou Yan went to Zhang Zhongyi's office in the afternoon and got the costume and the script for his part.

This section is very simple. Liu Bei and Pang Tong were discussing something. Zhou Yanyan's subordinates hurried in from the outside and reported the news that Zhang Song, a member of Yizhou's fleet, had been executed by the whole family. Liu Bei asked him why, and then he just told him the reason. .

From the beginning to the end, Zhou Yan's lines totaled more than 60 words, which is actually not too few. In terms of level, he is a special actor among the extras.

This part is naturally a piece of cake for you.

Zhang Zhongyi smiled. It was naturally impossible for him to go out of his way to talk to Zhou Yan about the scene alone for such a small role. Anyway, there was a meeting tomorrow morning before filming, so we could just talk about it together then.

Although Zhou Yan was quite experienced, he did not underestimate this scene. He went back with the script and prepared to find Sun Yanjun to work on this scene so that he could be confident.

But as soon as he returned to the dormitory, he saw Sun Yanjun and the other three walking out.

Seeing Zhou Yan coming back, Sun Yanjun smiled and said, Zhou Yan, you came back just in time. We are going to go for a walk. Do you want to come with us?

Take a walk? Zhou Yan held the script, Brother Sun, I want to play against you. I will also participate in the play tomorrow.

Are you playing the messenger? Sun Yanjun guessed it right away.

Because there are not many roles in tomorrow's play, most of the actors are fixed, and the others are the soldiers standing outside the door and the messenger. Naturally, it is impossible for Zhou Yan to play the wooden soldier, so he can only play the messenger.

Li Jingfei smiled and said, It's better to have a dialogue with each other. Let's just do it while walking.

Yeah, the weather is nice today, let's go out for a walk.

After hearing what they said, Zhou Yan nodded and followed them out.

Zhou Yan originally thought that they would just hang out inside the movie theater. After all, the area of ​​the movie theater was big enough, but what Zhou Yan didn't expect was that they walked straight out of the movie theater.

Outside the movie theater are farm fields, there is nothing interesting to see, and the roads are not very easy to walk. Zhou Yan really doesn't know what there is to see, but he is quite happy to see the three brothers strolling around.

It can be seen that they are really tired of staying in the movie theater.

As they wandered around, they wandered further and further. They found a place to rest in the middle, and then Zhou Yan took the three of them to play with him.

After going back and forth over this short scene several times, and seeing that there was no problem, Sun Yanjun looked at the sky and said with a smile, Let's go, go back now, and we can arrive at the station to have dinner.

On the way out, they took one way, and on the way back, they took another way.

Halfway there, Li Jingfei suddenly pulled Sun Yanjun's arm, Brother, look at the corn growing well over there.

Zhou Yan and the others also looked to the side and saw a cornfield over there. The corns in the field were really good and very big, which looked very pleasing to the eye.

Let's go and take some back to eat. Lu Shuming suggested.

Sun Yanjun hesitated and said, Isn't this good? It would be embarrassing if someone saw it.

Zhou Yan blinked and looked at Sun Yanjun, thinking that it would not be embarrassing if no one saw him?

Li Jingfei chuckled and said, There's not a single ghost here. No one can see it. We won't pick too much, just leave a few stalks and cook them at night.

Lu Shuming also said: Even so, we won't pick too many. The four of us will each pick one.

Zhou Yan was about to speak when Sun Yanjun said, Okay, let's pick one each.

okay.

Li Jingfei smiled, stepped forward and began to break the corn.

As soon as he got started, he suddenly stopped and then ran away.

When Zhou Yan and Lu Shuming saw Li Jingfei running away, they ran after him without asking anything. Only Sun Yanjun was still walking into the cornfield.

Zhou Yan and the other three ran for a long time. When they looked back, their eldest brother was gone.

It's broken. Big brother is left behind. Zhou Yan said.

Lu Shuming waved to him, Don't worry about brother, let's run away first. He has thin skin, tender flesh, and is fair and clean. He doesn't look like a corn thief. People will definitely not embarrass him.

Yes, second brother is right.

Then the two of them continued to run towards the station without stopping.

Zhou Yan was almost convinced by them, but after running for two steps, he still felt that it was not enough, so he ran back again, trying to find Sun Yanjun.

Seeing Zhou Yan running back, Li Jingfei slapped his thigh, Hey, this kid——

Lu Shuming pulled him and said, Let's go, third brother. That boy Zhou Yan is even more tender-skinned and tender. He will definitely not be embarrassed.

We look like thieves together, right? Li Jingfei curled his lips, but he didn't stop walking.

When Zhou Yan ran back to the cornfield, he saw Sun Yanjun squatting on the edge of the field, with two farmers wearing straw hats guarding him with sickles.

As soon as Zhou Yan came back, one of the younger ones pointed at Zhou Yan and said, Hey, I said you were the only one and your accomplice is here.

When Sun Yanjun saw Zhou Yan coming back, he wanted to stand up. The older one said sternly, Squat down.

He squatted down obediently again.

When Zhou Yan saw this posture, he thought something bad was going to happen. He calmed down, walked forward with a smile, and then took out a cigarette from his pocket and offered one to each of them.

Initially, they didn't want to take it, but seeing that Zhou Yan was letting Hongta Mountain go, they still took it.

If other high-grade cigarettes are not effective, Hongtashan and the others can recognize them at a glance.

After giving up the cigarette, Zhou Yan lit it for them again, and then said with a smile, Brothers, what's going on? Why did you stop my eldest brother?

The young man curled his lips and said, Don't you know why you stopped him? You stole corn.

Zhou Yan said with a smile, Misunderstanding, definitely a misunderstanding. We were just passing by to see how beautiful the corn was growing. We were wondering who could grow such good crops. We wanted to take a closer look and learn from the experience.

Your elder brother has done it all.

Sun Yanjun spread his hands and said, How can this be called stealing? We just saw that the corn was growing well and wanted to break off two corns to try. Besides, we haven't gotten started yet.

Who knows whether you will succeed or not. The few who ran away just now must be your accomplices.

Really not, they haven't broken up yet. Sun Yanjun said again.

That's what you say, right? I'm telling you, it's ten yuan for a stick of corn. If I don't give it to you, that's too much. It's just two corns. I'll give you twenty yuan to let you go.

When Sun Yanjun heard that it cost 20 yuan, he became anxious, There's no way a piece of corn costs 10 yuan!

He only paid about 200 yuan to film an episode of TV series, which was enough to buy 20 sticks of corn.

It's okay for you to steal. If you don't pay, we will send you to the police station.

That's not possible, we have to film tomorrow...

When Zhou Yan heard what Sun Yanjun was going to say about filming, he was about to interrupt, but it was already too late.

What, you are still filming. Are you filming Three Kingdoms?

yes.

When they heard that they were filming the Three Kingdoms, the two men put their sickles under their armpits and squatted down.

How long have you been filming this scene? When will it be broadcast? I see that you have been filming in the ravine every day. It has been a long time.

It has been filming for a year or two, and it will probably be broadcast in another year or two.

The two were surprised when they heard that the filming would take so long.

The younger man said, This is too long.

The older man smiled and said, What does this mean? The novel is so old and thick, it can't be made into more than a hundred episodes.

Then it won't be easy for you either.

Seeing that the situation had eased, Zhou Yan went up to let the two of them smoke again.

I haven't finished smoking yet.

Although they said so, the two of them still took the cigarettes.

Zhou Yan then took advantage of the situation and stuffed the whole pack of cigarettes into the older man's face. The two eldest brothers seemed to be open-minded at first sight. This was indeed a misunderstanding today.

After collecting the cigarettes, the two of them became a little better. They didn't mention the money anymore, but they were more concerned about the filming of the TV series.

After asking a few questions, the young man smiled and asked, There were two people running away just now. Were they acting or something?

Sun Yanjun said truthfully, One is Guan Yunchang and the other is Zhang Yide.

Then you are Liu Bei.

Sun Yanjun nodded, That's right.

The two of them looked at Zhou Yan again, What are you playing... Judging from your image, you might be playing Zhao Zilong.

He is our leader. Sun Yanjun said.

Zhou Yan glanced at Sun Yanjun. Just now he said that his eldest brother was too pure and kind, and told the truth about everything. Unexpectedly, he also had a lot of evil intentions.

Maybe Sun Yanjun had been too honest before, so the two farmers didn't doubt his words.

No wonder Hongtashan was smoked. It turned out to be the leader. You, the leader, want to take care of the actors when you go back. Is the corn worth stealing by you?

Zhou Yan nodded repeatedly, Yes, yes, I will ask them to write an inspection and report criticism to them when we get back.

Then there's no need to report the criticism, just say a few words.

Then the older one waved his hand and said, Let's go.

Sun Yanjun received this amnesty, stood up, patted his butt, and bowed his hands to them, Thank you very much.

Thank you both.

Zhou Yan also smiled and thanked him, and then the two of them walked towards the station together.

But after taking a few steps, the older man suddenly stopped them, Don't worry.

Zhou Yan and Sun Yanjun looked at each other and wondered, did they regret it?

When they turned around, they saw the man breaking off four corn stalks and saying, I'm here, and I won't let you go empty-handed.

Oh, how come this happened. Sun Yanjun said this and already reached out to take the corn.

…

When Zhou Yan and the others returned to the dormitory with the corn, Lu Shuming and Li Jingfei immediately came to greet them.

It's okay. I'm not embarrassing you, right?

Sun Yanjun rolled his eyes, You two guys are so loyal and abandoned me like this. Fortunately, brother Zhou Yan is reliable, otherwise I would be at the police station now.

Lu Shuming chuckled and said, You're back, you two don't look like corn thieves... What's going on with this corn?

It's ten yuan a stick. I bought it. You'll each give me ten yuan later.

Li Jingfei waved his hands repeatedly, Who can afford such expensive corn?

Zhou Yan said with a smile, It was a gift from those two farm friends.

When he heard that it was a gift, Li Jingfei smiled again, There are four of them, which means they were given to us as a gift.

Sun Yanjun pointed at Li Jingfei and cursed, Why are you so thick-skinned?

Li Jingfei chuckled, I'm going to fetch water and boil the corn.

…

The next morning, Zhou Yan and Sun Yanjun went to the filming location together. Because it was a costume drama and they had to wear hoods, it took a lot of time.

Zhou Yan's outfit and makeup are relatively simple, and the headgear is also inferior, but the overall upper body effect is quite good.

Zhang Zhong was also sighing when he saw Zhou Yan's appearance. It is said that people depend on their clothes, but clothes also depend on who wears them.

The outfit Zhou Yan wears has been worn by many other actors, but Zhou Yan wears it the best, and he looks very stylish at first glance.

This is quite good, but if the messenger in Liu Bei's house is dressed like a waiter, the effect will be really bad.

During subsequent rehearsals, Zhou Yan once again surprised Zhang Zhongyi. During the several rehearsals, Zhou Yan's lines were accurate every time. Besides the lines, his movements and emotions were all on point. A character who was originally very ordinary turned out to be a real character. He played Zhou Yan very well.

After the official start of filming, Zhou Yan's performance was already very good.

Because Zhou Yan performed well, Zhang Zhongyi added some drama to him, but not too much. Originally, the messenger had been half-kneeling after reporting the situation, but Zhang Zhongyi added a paragraph to ask Liu Bei to let him stand up.

Although no lines were added to Zhou Yan and no scenes were added, Liu Bei's actions made Zhou Yan's character more important.

After the play was finished, Zhang Zhongyi lamented that it was a waste to have Zhou Yan only play the messenger.

Zhou Yan was startled when he heard what Zhang Zhongyi said. He was afraid that Zhang Zhong would find work for him again and again. A small guest role would be enough. If he played a more guest role, it would take a lot of time.

You know, Xu Shu's play only lasted six episodes, but Zhai Wancheng, who played Xu Shu, stayed on the crew intermittently for nearly a year, which Zhou Yan couldn't afford.

After filming this scene, Zhou Yan and Li Yiding stayed in the cinema for another two days and watched a big scene. This scene was Capture of Xichuan and it was also the first time Liu Bei met Ma Chao.

This is the first time Zhou Yan has seen a scene with so many actors, so he has been studying next to it, wanting to see how they do it.

After watching this drama, Zhou Yan also discussed with Li Yiding for a long time. The main content of the discussion was the use of orchestration and the establishment of the overall style.

Li Yiding's score is a little too face-to-face and too tender, while Zhou Yan's score is a little too intense and trendy. The two are looking for a balance and resonance point.

Zhou Yan has also been revising Seven Swords recently. In addition to changing the orchestration, he also changed the tempo of the music to slow down the rhythm a little.

There is also the song Horse written by Zhou Yan himself, which has a slightly faster rhythm.

When Zhou Yan scored Reply from Heaven before, the film shooting could rely on the soundtrack, but Three Kingdoms could not do it. After all, it was too difficult. The on-site formation changes and people running around couldn't follow the rhythm Zhou Yan wanted.

In this case, Zhou Yan could only make modifications based on the situation on site.

When leaving, Zhou Yan left the remaining canned pork and meat sauce to Sun Yanjun and the others.

Lu Shuming held Zhou Yan's hand, his eyes full of reluctance.

Brother, you must come over and visit me from time to time. I will keep your bed for you, and I will never let anyone else sleep on it.

Li Jingfei added, Don't bring so many things next time you come. Just bring less canned food and meat sauce.

Zhou Yan was a little touched just now, but it was gone in an instant. He rolled his eyelids and realized, what these three brothers love is not him as a person, but his can.

In fact, Lu Shuming and the others were also joking. Although they had not been together for long, they really liked Zhou Yan, especially the image of Zhou Yan turning around to save his elder brother that day was still imprinted in the hearts of Lu Shuming and Li Jingfei.

This kid is so loyal. If my elder brother has something to do, he will really come forward.

…

On the way back, Zhou Yan and Li Yiding were still discussing the soundtrack. This time they came to the crew, and both of them had a lot of inspiration.

It wasn't until the car entered Yanjing's territory that the pager in Zhou Yan's pocket rang.

He took it out and saw that it was a call from Liang Yu, giving him time to call back.

When he got home, Zhou Yan called Liang Yu as soon as possible.

After the call was connected, Zhou Yan asked with a smile, Chief Liang, do you have anything to do with me?

Greenspan has returned to the United States, but he will come back in November. At that time, he should give out the shooting plan for the promotional video.

That's a good thing. Did the director say anything before leaving?

I didn't say anything special. That's not the main reason I called you.

That is?

Now we have an idea to let you serve as the deputy director of the Olympic bid promotional video together with Sun Qin from Yanjing TV. Needless to say, Sun Qin has a lot of experience in shooting promotional videos and even independently completed several high-quality films. A high-quality film. As for you, although you have never made a promotional film before, your film The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly performed very well. If you are asked to be one of the assistant directors, it will also fill the vacancy.

Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows in surprise. He didn't expect that Liang Yu and the others wanted him to be the assistant director of the promotional video.

Does Director He know about this?

Liang Yu smiled and said, Of course I know. I told Director He about your specific situation. What is your own opinion? Are you confident in taking this job? You don't have to worry too much about time. The filming of the film will definitely not take too long.

With such a good job falling on his head, there was no reason for Zhou Yan not to accept it. He did not hesitate at all and immediately responded, Of course I am willing to contribute more to the promotion of the Olympic bid, and this is also important to me. A valuable learning opportunity.”

In that case, the matter has been settled for now. Find a time for you, me and Sun Qin to meet again and talk about this matter in detail. We don't have to follow Greenspan's shooting plan completely. We can propose My own opinions. Greenspan himself said that he hopes we can provide more opinions, after all, he doesn’t know much about China.”

Zhou Yan understood what Liang Yu meant. He smiled and nodded, Okay, I understand.
