1990: Starting from Baojia Street

It was past six o'clock, and the members of the piano youth orchestra had already started to walk to the stage. The party was about to start.

Chen Kaige chatted with Zhou Yan for a long time, and the cigarette in his mouth was almost broken by him.

Seeing the orchestra members go on stage, he knew that Zhou Yan was going to be busy, so he smiled and said to Zhou Yan, "You go and do your work, I'll go out and smoke a cigarette."

After leaving the factory, Chen Kaige was about to light a cigarette when he saw Xiao Can, Li Hong and Liu Qing standing together smoking.

They were all from the same factory, and they would see each other every day. Although Chen Kaige was not familiar with them, he still smiled and nodded, as a greeting.

Li Hong smiled and said, "Director Chen, is your new project going well?"

Chen Kaige's "The Emperor and the Assassin" has been in preparation for a long time, and it is also a more important star project of their Yanjing Factory.

In addition to "Time Traveler", Han Sanping's most concerned this year is "The Emperor and the Assassin", and Li Hong certainly knows it.

However, unlike the smooth sailing of "Time Traveler", the early preparations for Chen Kaige's film were not smooth.

Some time ago, Li Hong heard that the script of "The Emperor and the Assassin" had not been finalized.

Having worked with Zhou Yan for such a long time, Li Hong actually did not understand Chen Kaige's situation. Since the script was not ready, why did he do other preparatory work in advance?

If he still did not make a satisfactory script in the end, would he still force it? Otherwise, the other preparations would be in vain.

This kind of thing would never happen in Zhou Yan's crew.

Chen Kaige smiled, "It's going well."

He just responded simply without explaining in detail.

Seeing that Chen Kaige was unwilling to chat with them, several people did not take the initiative to talk to Chen Kaige anymore, and chatted on their own.

The center of the topic was Xiao Can. He was now preparing his own movie, and many things had to be connected with Zhou Yan's studio. He had persuaded Liu Qing to join his crew.

Although Xiao Can could also transfer people from Yanjing Factory, he still preferred to find people from the studio, because Liu Qing and his team had worked together for a long time and had a high degree of tacit understanding, and the people in the studio had a high degree of freedom, so there would not be any messy things.

Some of the people in Yanjing Factory were useful, but some were difficult to use. There were many people who just lived a lazy life in the factory.

Chen Kaige listened for a while, then stamped out his cigarette butt and turned into the factory. He was not interested in Xiao Can's new movie.

After he entered the factory, he suddenly saw several girls coming from the other side of the stage.

These girls were outstanding in appearance and had very good figures. They all wore the same performance clothes and looked like they were going to dance on the stage in a while.

The girl walking in front was a tall and thin girl. When Chen Kaige saw her, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

This girl gave people a sense of déjà vu, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her.

Just then, Senior Lu came back from the toilet, and Chen Kaige stopped him, "Senior, who are these girls? Are they new recruits of the Piano Youth Orchestra? I haven't seen them before."

Senior Lu glanced at the girls and shrugged, "I don't know, I rarely come here. They shouldn't be from the orchestra, looking at the clothes they wear, they look like they are going to dance."

"It's not like the students of the Central Conservatory of Music can't dance."

"There are some, but it's probably not easy to get so many of them."

Chen Kaige nodded. These girls did not look like they were from the Central Conservatory of Music, but more like they were from the Academy of Performing Arts.

Temperament is something that can't be seen or touched, but most of the time, it can be seen at a glance.

Chen Kaige has seen too many girls who study acting, all with this temperament.

Not finding the answer from Senior Lu, Chen Kaige didn't ask any more in a hurry, thinking that he would find a chance to ask Zhou Yan who they are later.

...

Until 6:40, the orchestra was ready on the stage, and Zhou Yan took the microphone and walked onto the stage.

There were some noisy discussions in the hall, but as Zhou Yan walked onto the stage, these noises disappeared, and everyone looked at Zhou Yan on the stage intently.

Zhou Yan patted the microphone and smiled, "First of all, thank you for the friends who were invited to come to the scene. It's the end of the year, and everyone is busy. It's not easy to come. We hold this annual meeting just to have everyone get together at the end of the year. If the studio doesn't go bankrupt in the future, this kind of annual meeting should be held every year, and I hope everyone can come every year."

"The main content of the evening party is to watch the performance, but before the performance officially starts, I would like to share with you the development of our studio this year and the development goals for next year. Let's talk about the film department first. This year, our film department has produced a total of four films..."

Then Zhou Yan gave a general account of the studio's situation this year, without sharing the details. He mainly picked out some important ones.

Most of the people present have cooperated with the studio, and they also want to know the development of the studio and its future goals.

When it was mentioned that the box office of "Time Traveler" had exceeded 75 million, there was a burst of exclamation at the scene. Most people present did not know the latest box office situation. Some people thought that the box office of "Time Traveler" was only 50 or 60 million.

What does 75 million mean?

Since the split of revenue, no mainland movie has ever had a box office of more than 40 million yuan - except Zhou Yan's "The Chorus".

Of course, the time for the split of revenue was relatively short.

The only official box office statistics available in the Mainland are last year and this year.

Because the time is short, there are few objects for comparison.

But this does not affect people's surprise at the box office of 75 million, because Hollywood blockbusters rarely achieve such box office when they come to China.

In the past two years, among the 20 American movies introduced to China, only one "True Lies" has exceeded this figure at the box office.

Some people have paid attention to the box office situation some time ago and know that the top domestic movie box office this year is "Police Story: Simple Mission", with a box office of 80 million.

This means that the box office of "Space Traveler" is likely to exceed 80 million and top this year's box office rankings.

Suddenly someone clapped, and others followed suit. This achievement was indeed worthy of their applause.

After talking about the several films produced by the studio this year, Zhou Yan also talked about the school-enterprise cooperation project with the Chinese Theater Company, and also revealed the short film plan for next year.

Many people were surprised to hear that Zhou Yan was planning to invest in a large number of short films starting next year and didn't understand what Zhou Yan was going to do.

Among them was Chen Kaige. He really didn’t understand why Zhou Yan wanted to spend time on the short film. He didn’t even know why Zhou Yan wanted to engage in a school-enterprise cooperation project.

In Chen Kaige's view, this so-called school-enterprise cooperation may seem wonderful, but it may ultimately come to nothing.

In this kind of project, schools definitely hope that companies can provide students with practical education and training, but companies are more concerned about specific skills training and short-term returns.

The reality is that it is impossible for students to bring considerable returns to companies in a short period of time. As for whether students can receive good, extensive and practical education and training, it depends on the conscience of companies.

It's not that Chen Kaige doesn't believe that Zhou Yan has a conscience, he just feels that Zhou Yan's conscience will not be rewarded.

Zhou Yan finished talking about the school-enterprise cooperation project with China National Theater, then talked about the school-enterprise cooperation project with Yangyin, and then talked about the studio's soundtrack engineering department.

…

Regarding the company's situation, Zhou Yan didn't talk for too long. He spent about four or five minutes briefly talking about it. On the one hand, he hoped that the employees of the studio would have a general direction in mind, and on the other hand, he also wanted to inform other people. People, what directions will the studio work on next year? If they want to cooperate, they can start from these directions.

After saying this, Zhou Yan said with a smile, "Next, I won't be verbose. The first program tonight is "Morning, First Snow, Red Sun" brought to you by the Piano Youth Orchestra. Please enjoy it. ”

When Zhou Yan walked down with the microphone in his hand, conductor Yue Lin came up with his baton.

Yue Lin first bent towards the audience, and then walked up to the podium.

When they saw Yue Lin walking on stage in a tuxedo, many people felt a visual impact.

Originally, they did not think that the factory that was temporarily transformed into a theater was crude, but now compared with the decorations of Yue Lin and the performers on the stage, the factory seemed very crude.

However, although the venue is simple, the music effect is not as bad as everyone imagined.

When the music starts, the auditory enjoyment is not much weaker. If you close your eyes, you even feel like you are in a serious concert hall.

Of course, for people who don't often attend live concerts, the difference is not very obvious.

Moreover, the piece "Early Morning, First Snow, Red Sun" was played by fifty or sixty people, and the sound was very loud. At least it did not require a sound field structure to amplify the volume. Although a lot of sound was lost in the factory, the audience could listen at this distance. It's pretty good.

The orchestra played several pieces of music continuously for about half an hour, and then the folk band came on stage and played "Memory of the Forbidden City", "Walking in the Snow to Seek Plum Blossoms" and other pieces.

…

After listening to "Nightingale", Jiang Mengfei couldn't hold back his urine anymore, so he got up and went out to drink some water.

But as soon as he left the factory, he caught a glimpse of someone standing outside the window.

The window was quite high, about four or five meters high. In order to climb up, the man found a long and thick wooden stick from somewhere, propped it on the ground, and then climbed up along the stick.

The man was holding a wooden stick in one hand and holding a camera in the other, taking pictures.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Mengfei's urge to pee subsided, and he immediately shouted to the man, "What are you doing!"

After he finished yelling, Jiang Mengfei was about to stop the person, but before he could go over, the person was frightened and fell to the side.

There was a smooth wall under the window. When he fell, there was no place for his hands to hold on. The man just slid down holding the wooden stick.

This height was not low to begin with, and his landing posture was not very good. One of his calves was directly pressed underneath by the wooden stick.

Jiang Mengfei subconsciously wanted to save him, but before he could take two steps, the man had already fallen. All Jiang Mengfei heard was the man's miserable scream.

"pain!"

Seeing the man holding his legs and wailing, Jiang Mengfei frowned and walked over.

This was a heavy fall, and it seemed that not only his calf was injured, but his right shoulder was also injured when he landed, and he couldn't even lift his right arm.

But seeing him shout so loudly, Jiang Mengfei felt relieved.

Under normal circumstances, it is basically nothing serious to be called like this, it is nothing more than a broken arm or a broken leg.

If his internal organs were injured, he wouldn't be in this state right now.

Moreover, Jiang Mengfei was not a doctor, so there was no way to save him.

After making sure that he was okay, Jiang Mengfei looked at the camera that was left aside, narrowed his eyes, walked over and picked up the camera.

Jiang Mengfei's actions were seen by the man, but he was indeed seriously injured and couldn't care less about his camera.

After getting the camera, Jiang Mengfei ignored the man and walked directly into the factory.

After a while, Zhou Yan and Liu Hang followed Jiang Mengfei out.

Seeing the man lying on the ground, Zhou Yan and Liu Hang looked at each other. When Jiang Mengfei came to them just now, he had already roughly explained the situation, and they both basically guessed what this man did.

At this time, there was a sneaky person holding a camera against the window. It was most likely a tabloid reporter.

Although the mainland's paparazzi culture is not comparable to that of Hong Kong and Taiwan, many tabloid reporters who candidly photograph celebrities have gradually appeared. This kind of thing will flourish as long as there is a market.

Zhou Yan took a closer look and saw that although the man had stopped screaming, his forehead was covered with sweat in this winter, and he was indeed seriously injured.

Of course, if the injury was not serious, this person would have run away when Jiang Mengfei went in to look for them.

"Come on, follow me and take a deep breath."

When the man heard Zhou Yan's words, he subconsciously took a deep breath.

Seeing that he could take deep breaths smoothly, Zhou Yan was basically sure that his internal organs and ribs were fine.

Zhou Yan patted his calf, "Is it hurt here?"

Originally, the man had restrained himself from screaming, but after being slapped by Zhou Yan, he couldn't help but scream again.

"It hurts, it hurts!"

Zhou Yan smiled and took back his hand, "Sorry."

Although he was apologizing, his expression was not apologetic at all. This shot was obviously intentional and had a bit of energy.

After letting go of his calf, Zhou Yan patted his right shoulder again, causing him to cry out again.

"pain!"

"Oh, I'm sorry." Zhou Yan took back his hand again and asked, "Which newspaper company is it from? When did you start shooting here?"

The man's mouth hardened at this time, and he refused to admit that he was a tabloid reporter at all. "What newspaper? I don't understand what you mean. I was just passing by nearby. I heard the excitement here and came over to take a look."

This lie couldn't be more false. This neighborhood is not a downtown area. There are not many people passing by. And who is passing by holding a camera in his hand?

Also, the factory door was closed, and there was a guard handle. This person must have climbed over the wall.

Seeing his harsh words, Zhou Yan didn't ask any more questions. He just looked at his watch and said to Liu Hang, "Call the police in twenty minutes."

He roughly calculated the time and called the police in twenty minutes. When the police arrived, even if the party was not over, it would be almost over. The impact would not be great, and it would be enough to keep this person out in the cold for a while.

When Zhou Yan said this, the man became anxious and said, "How about you send me to the hospital first?"

Zhou Yan glanced at him, said nothing, turned around and entered the factory, still holding the man's camera in his hand. He had no intention of returning the camera to the other person, even if he called the police. (End of chapter)
