1990: Starting from Baojia Street

Lu Mengping also said in the letter that after the magazine is released on November 5th, a sample magazine will be sent to him. However, Zhou Yan felt that if he had to wait for their sample magazine, it might have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse, so he thought of waiting until Then he went to buy a copy for himself.

Although it is said to be released on November 5th, you can usually buy it in advance.

Two days later, the flute He Wuming ordered for Zhou Yan finally arrived.

Because the flute is a fragile item, Zhou Yan could have imagined that the package must be very thick, but when he got the package, he was still surprised by the way it was wrapped. A short flute was wrapped like a dynamite bag.

After opening the package, I saw that it was filled with a lot of shredded paper and torn cotton, and the box containing the bangdi was in the center.

Under such tight packaging, the flute naturally showed no damage.

As soon as he opened the flute case and saw the flute, Zhou Yan knew it was a good flute. A good flute mainly depends on the material. A good flute maker also spends most of his time on material selection and material processing.

This flute is made from the most common bitter bamboo. Both the growth age and the drying time are absolutely in place. Some bamboos are cut down when they are not grown enough. The sound of the resulting bang flute is naturally not clear and high-pitched. If it is dried in the shade, If there is not enough time, the effect will be greatly reduced.

Although three hundred and sixty is expensive, it is definitely worth the money spent, and the wooden box given is also quite good. Just buying a box would cost at least thirty or forty yuan. The flute box is not just for decoration, it is mainly used to preserve the flute. A good flute box can extend the life of the flute for a long time.

He took out the flute and wiped it carefully, and then carefully applied the film to the flute. If Gao Jinwen saw Zhou Yan's behavior, he would definitely laugh. Zhou Yan had not treated the crew's flutes like this before.

The flute came with donkey-hide gelatin block and flute film. Zhou Yan applied it carefully and applied it carefully.

After posting it, he couldn't wait to play a song Ode to the Lotus.

A good flute is different, and its main theme is one word: transparent.

He Wuming was practicing on the roof of the building at this time. When he heard the high-pitched flute sound coming from downstairs, he couldn't help but smile. His conditions were indeed right. The sound of this new flute was much more pleasant.

Although the song Ode to the Lotus is already good, the good flute adds to the beauty of the song and greatly reduces its shortcomings.

…

After getting the new flute, Zhou Yan was very excited, just like a child who got a new toy. When he was free, he was no longer in a hurry to rehearse with He Wuming, and always went to the second floor to play the flute.

And during this period, because some props needed to be changed, the filming was stopped for two days, so he had a lot of free time.

About three or four days later, after Zhou Yan played the flute, he stopped by the scenery production team to hang out. The scenery production team was very busy these days, and he didn't see much of Liu Qing and the others.

When we arrived at the production team's room, a group of people were busy working around a sedan chair.

In the movie, in the second scene, the Chen family sent a sedan to marry Songlian, but Songlian missed the wedding team while carrying her bag. The sedan that the production team now has is used for this scene, and it is also used in the movie. Finally, the scene of marrying the fifth wife may also be used.

Although these two scenes are at the beginning and end of the movie, they were shot at the same time because the seasons in the scenes are the same.

The sedan was originally made a little ostentatious, but Zhang Yimou felt that it was not good enough and asked them to make the sedan simpler.

Sister Feng came out from behind the sedan with a big flower tied with red cloth. When she saw Zhou Yan, she smiled and said, The door god is here.

This shout attracted the attention of others, who all greeted him.

The day has not come yet.

No one came, but I heard the sound of his flute every day.

I'm here to help today.

…

Zhou Yan also smiled and greeted them one by one, and then they started busy with their work again.

Sister Feng said while picking up the rags of red cloth on the ground, I've been cramming again in the past two days. Don't be nervous. Just listen to Director Zhang the day after tomorrow.

Zhou Yan was a little confused when he heard this, Sister Feng, what are you talking about? What happened the day after tomorrow?

Sister Feng looked at Zhou Yan up and down and said with a smile, You said I was confused. What happened the day after tomorrow? You will be filming the day after tomorrow. Don't say you don't know. You have been running upstairs to play the flute every day in the past two days. Isn't it because Shooting is about to start, so you’re sharpening your skills before the battle?”

Zhou Yan was stunned when he heard this. Are you going to film his movie the day after tomorrow? He had no idea about this.

Seeing Zhou Yan's expression, Sister Feng also frowned, It was decided two days ago. Director Zhang said that it would be difficult to promote other scenes for the time being. We will shoot the first meeting scene between you and Gong Li first. I even went there specially yesterday morning. The floor upstairs was swept.

I really don't know. Zhou Yan lowered his eyebrows and thought for a moment, then asked, Who is responsible for notifying this matter?

Director Li. Sister Feng said in surprise, He didn't tell you, right?

No. Zhou Yan shook his head. He was not surprised to hear that Li Jiehan was responsible for the notification.

This guy Li Jiehan has a grudge against him, and this is stumbling upon him.

Sister Feng also felt that something was wrong. She also wanted to explain to Li Jiehan: Director Li may have been busy and forgot...

Halfway through, Sister Feng couldn't continue. She also knew that this reason was too ridiculous.

There will only be one scene in total in the next few days, involving only three actors. Zhou Yan is still the main role. If this can be forgotten, then he will not need to be the assistant director.

Liu Qing was not far away. When he heard what Zhou Yan said to Sister Feng, he quickly put down what he was doing and ran over, What's wrong? Li Jiehan didn't tell you about the filming?

Yeah. Zhou Yan nodded.

This kid! I've long disliked him. Liu Qing's eyes widened, his big head shook with anger, and he rolled up his sleeves, I'm going to seek justice from you.

Zhou Yan quickly grabbed him and said, Brother Liu, thank you, but don't get involved in this matter.

Hearing Zhou Yan's words, Liu Qing became even more anxious, Do you think you treat me like an outsider?

No. Zhou Yan smiled and ran his hand down Liu Qing's back, It's useless for you to make a fuss about this matter. Not only will it involve the production team, but it will also embarrass Director Zhang.

Although Sister Feng is usually hot-tempered, she is wiser than Liu Qing, Zhou Yan is right, it's useless if you go, Li Jiehan can bring you back with just one sentence. And Li Jiehan is Director Teng's student, Director Zhang doesn't Easy to handle.”

The director Teng she refers to is Teng Da director Teng Wenji, who is also from Chang'an Studio. The movie The King of Chess adapted from Acheng's novel was produced by him.

Zhou Yan didn't know that Li Jiehan was Teng Wenji's student before, but they were both from Chang'an Studio, so it was normal for them to have a relationship.

Liu Qing's anger was still not gone, so he gritted his teeth and said, But we can't let this matter go, otherwise he will think that we are easy to bully.

Seeing Liu Qing's angry look, Zhou Yan was very moved. This big brother is really a righteous man and has a good heart. In fact, this matter has nothing to do with him at all, but he is able to worry about people's needs.

Let's do this. Brother Liu, you are busy with your own affairs. If the sedan chair is not done well, Director Zhang will get angry again later. I'll go ask Li Jiehan what's going on first, and I'll tell you later.

At this time, Liu Qing also thought that he still had a lot of things on hand, and sighed slightly, Okay, you go to Li Jiehan first. If he picks a fight with you, tell me. Although he is the assistant director, I Liu Qing is not afraid of him.

Brother Liu, don't worry. If I can't figure it out, I will definitely come back and ask you for help. Zhou Yan said to Sister Feng again, You and Brother Liu are busy here, I will go first.

Sister Feng is a smart person, so she naturally knew that Zhou Yan wanted her to keep an eye on Liu Qing, so she nodded and said, Don't worry, I'm here.

Zhou Yan nodded, turned and left.

After Zhou Yan left, Liu Qing was still a little worried, I don't know if Li Jiehan will embarrass him.

Sister Feng smiled and said, Don't worry about him yet. It's not like you don't know Zhou Yan. He is very sophisticated and can handle it.

Good Friday
