Chapter 60 Teacher or Student? (First update 3.6k, monthly votes requested)

The difficulty of filming "Heaven's Letter" is mainly concentrated on the roles of the young actors.

Shi Chen is indeed very powerful and has a maturity beyond his peers, but he is less than four years old after all, and he cannot understand many things the director says all at once.

So on the set, Wang Junzheng can often be seen holding the script and explaining the play to Shi Chen. Not only does she explain, but Wang Junzheng will also demonstrate it to him in person.

Compared with Zhang Yimou, Wang Junzheng's style on the scene makes people feel like spring breeze. She is cheerful and generous, and has extraordinary patience with every staff member.

Sometimes Zhou Yan feels impatient when watching from the side, but Wang Junzheng can still maintain a calm state of mind.

With this director, the working atmosphere on the scene will certainly not be very tense.

However, her style actually sacrifices some efficiency invisibly.

Zhou Yan can clearly feel that some staff members in the team are not particularly responsive to the work she has assigned, which is unimaginable in Zhang Yimou's team.

Previously, in the crew of Raise the Red Lantern, if someone didn't listen to the command or was slow to respond, he would definitely be dealt with.

Some people are like this. If you are nice to them, they will feel that you are easy to bully.

…

Zhou Yan not only often consulted with Wang Junzheng on the set, but also went to the factory with her to watch the developed negatives.

In fact, Zhou Yan was not just trying to learn from the director. During the process of observing the filming, he did find that the small paragraphs he had written before were still a bit formulaic.

After seeing the actors' performances on the spot, he had a new understanding of some of the clips, and even "Together Forever" which was previously scheduled to be used in the first paragraph, also needed some simple adjustments.

Wang Junzheng said that the lens should be adjusted according to the song during the filming, but it is more difficult to do so, so Zhou Yan also tried to move the song closer to the lens, so that the workload could be reduced.

The film was shot for more than ten days, and Zhou Yan went to Yanjing Film Studio seven or eight times. This morning, he just came out of the printing workshop and saw Chen Kaige coming towards him.

Chen Kaige was not in the studio during this period, so Zhou Yan had not seen him.

When he saw Zhou Yan again, Chen Kaige became much more enthusiastic.

He knew that Zhou Yan did not smoke, but he still took the initiative to give Zhou Yan a cigarette, "Zhou Yan, are you here to see the negative of "Heaven's Letter"?"

"No, no." Zhou Yan stretched out his hand to block the cigarette and said with a smile, "Yes, come and see the film, so that you can have a clear idea. The soundtrack still has to be combined with the picture."

"That's right." Chen Kaige picked up the cigarette himself, lit it, and then said with a smile, "I heard from Teacher Zhao that you will be the on-site director of our crew when we compose the music for "Farewell My Concubine" later."

Zhou Yan smiled, not knowing whether Chen Kaige was good at talking or Zhao Jiping deliberately praised him in front of Chen Kaige, saying that the music assistant was the on-site director, and the level was raised all of a sudden.

He could naturally feel the change in Chen Kaige's attitude before and after, and guessed that this attitude change was probably related to "Kite".

"Teacher Zhao mentioned the matter of Farewell My Concubine to me once, but it was not completely confirmed at that time."

"It's confirmed." Chen Kaige raised the hand holding the cigarette and smiled, "I told Teacher Zhao a long time ago, and later President Xu personally went to invite Teacher Zhao, so it must be confirmed. Teacher Zhao is in Chang'an and is usually busy. He has few opportunities to come to the scene, and he still needs your guidance on the scene."

"Director Chen, you are joking. As for the soundtrack, it is mainly music for movies. Our creation follows the ideas of your director. If film production is compared to the operation of a train, then your director's ideas are the locomotive, and our soundtrack is the carriage at the back."

Chen Kaige looked at Zhou Yan with a smile. He found that he had underestimated Zhou Yan before. Zhou Yan is not only talented, but also speaks very well. The two sentences just now made him feel really comfortable.

"Haha, hearing you say that, I feel stressed all of a sudden." Chen Kaige took a puff of his cigarette and continued, "In early July, the crew will organize a departmental meeting. Will you be able to go there?"

Zhou Yan thought for a moment and said, "July should be fine. I will be on summer vacation by then. Have the actors been decided?"

"Yes." Chen Kaige nodded, and then said with some boasting, "This time our crew has quite a few big names. The heroine is Gong Li, you should know her. I will keep the others a secret for now, and you will see them later when you arrive at the crew."

Zhou Yan smiled, "This feeling of anticipation is full all of a sudden."

"Haha, I won't let you down." Chen Kaige took two more puffs, threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it, "I have something to do with Director Meng. Let's talk about it when we have time. I will tell you the specific time for the meeting of Farewell My Concubine later."

"Okay, Director Chen, go and get busy. I will go back to school."

...

In a blink of an eye, the school has been open for a month, and it is April.

Zhou Yan's repeating procedures were all completed. On April 1, which happened to be a Monday, he officially started his new semester.

When the first class in the morning was about to start, Zhou Yan came to the classroom with his books. Xu Kelang, who was sitting at the front of the classroom and was originally listless, suddenly widened his eyes.

"Brother Zhou Yan!"

When other students heard Xu Kelang's voice, they all looked over and greeted Zhou Yan.

Class monitor Shen Huaigang saw Zhou Yan holding the book for this class, and said with surprise, "Brother Zhou Yan, is it because Teacher Li is sick, and you are here to substitute for Teacher Li?"

Zhou Yan pulled the corner of his mouth. Was Shen Huaigang's expression a little too happy? Is it such a happy thing that Li Bingyang is sick?

Hearing Shen Huaigang's words, other students also became excited.

"Brother Zhou Yan, how many classes will you substitute for?"

"In addition to the harmony class, will you also substitute for the later music forms?"

"Brother Zhou Yan will talk for a while longer today."

...

Zhou Yan rolled his eyes at these people, then ran to the back row with the book in his arms and sat down.

The classmates stared at him all the way to the back row and sat down, and they were all a little puzzled.

Why did Brother Zhou Yan sit down?

Seeing that they were all staring at him, Zhou Yan smiled and said, "We will be classmates from now on."

"Ah?" Xu Kelang stood up from his seat at once, with a look of surprise on his face, "Brother Zhou Yan, you really failed a grade."

The others were also confused. During this period, Zhou Yan had assigned them many tasks on behalf of Jia Guoping, and also taught them a lot of professional courses. They all regarded him as a teacher.

Suddenly, Zhou Yan became their classmate, and they were a little bit unable to adapt for a while.

"Brother Zhou Yan, are you kidding us..."

Before Xu Kelang finished speaking, their real teacher Li Bingyang walked in.

Seeing Xu Kelang standing at the back, Li Bingyang said, "Xu Kelang, class is about to start, sit down."

Xu Kelang wanted to sit down next to Zhou Yan, but his book was still in front, so he had to return to his previous position.

Li Bingyang also saw Zhou Yan and said with a smile, "Zhou Yan is here today too."

Zhou Yan smiled and greeted, "Hello, Teacher Li."

Li Bingyang nodded, said nothing more, opened the book and officially started the class.

Halfway through the class, Zhou Yan couldn't help but hold his forehead. Li Bingyang really taught him a terrible lesson.

After the whole class, it was just reading from the textbook. The teaching effect was basically the same as students reading books by themselves.

It is absolutely impossible to say that Li Bingyang's professional level is poor. He stayed in school for this major. Not to mention that he is a well-known genius in the department like Zhou Yan and Jia Guoping, he is definitely in the forefront of their class.

He can't teach well, it's all an attitude problem.

Li Bingyang now is just a monk ringing the bell every day, muddling through his work every day, and flying to the United States to do his academic research at the end of this semester.

Li Bingyang is certainly not a bad person. He usually has a good relationship with Zhou Yan and others, and they can chat a few words when they are together.

When chatting, Zhou Yan feels that Li Bingyang is a good person. Before, when he saw that students had a lot of opinions about Li Bingyang, he thought that the students were prejudiced. Now it seems that it is normal for students to have opinions about him.

The most outrageous thing is that when the get out of class was about to end, Shen Huaigang stood up and asked a question.

When Li Bingyang was halfway through answering the question, the get out of class time was up and he didn't continue. Although university teachers don't often stay in class, it's rare to be so straightforward as him.

Li Bingyang was originally going to leave the get out of class directly, but suddenly he thought of something and said with a smile, "If you don't know anything, just ask classmate Zhou Yan. He has a solid foundation and can definitely answer your questions. Zhou Yan, thank you for your help."

Zhou Yan was still dumbfounded until Li Bingyang left.

He met a tough guy today.

Jia Guoping said before that Li Bingyang was quick to give up, but he didn't feel anything. Now, he felt deeply.

At this moment, Shen Huaigang and the others turned their heads to look at Zhou Yan, and their eyes were like a hungry wolf staring at a lamb, which was quite scary.

Zhou Yan sighed slightly and stood up, "Okay, let me tell you about the question that Shen Huaigang asked."

"Great!"

The students suddenly became excited, which was completely different from the dull classroom atmosphere just now.

Later, Li Bingyang found out that Zhou Yan was giving lectures to students. Not only did he not have any objections, he often asked Zhou Yan to stand up and explain the knowledge points to the students during class.

Zhou Yan himself had no objections. Giving lectures to students was also good for him.

Teaching is a mutual benefit. In the process of teaching, his understanding of knowledge has also deepened.

…

Hua Yang showed up at the agency in the morning, and then rode his bike to the Central Conservatory of Music.

The editorial office of "Yenching Literature" is located on Qianmen West Street, which is almost on the same road as the Central Conservatory of Music. It is only four or five miles away by bike.

When he arrived at the Central Conservatory of Music, Hua Yang asked along the way and found the 303 dormitory where Zhou Yan lived.

There was only one person in the dormitory at this time. When he heard that he was looking for Zhou Yan, he took him to the classroom of the Composition Department very enthusiastically.

When they reached the classroom door, the student looked inside and said, "He's in class, wait outside for a while."

Hua Yang also looked inside the classroom and asked, "Excuse me, which one is Zhou Yan?"

The student smiled and pointed to the podium, "This one is."

"Huh?"

"Just wait." After saying that, the student turned and left.

Hua Yang looked at the young man on the podium with a puzzled look on his face.

Last summer, when he first received Zhou Yan's manuscript "Death of the Mayor", he thought the novel was well written, so he submitted the manuscript to his superiors.

The superiors also thought it was good, but Zhou Yan had no resume at all, so it was difficult to publish the novel.

But the manuscript was really good, and they were reluctant to reject it, so they contacted the author and wanted the author to revise the manuscript, and it would be best if he could bring a personal resume.

Later, Hua Yang saw another novel by Zhou Yan, "The River Wet by Rain", in "Huacheng".

In this way, Zhou Yan had a resume, and after submitting "The Death of the Mayor" again, the publishing house decided to publish it.

At first, Hua Yang thought Zhou Yan was at least 30 or 40 years old, otherwise it would be difficult to write "The Death of the Mayor" and "The River Wet by Rain".

Later, Zhou Yan gave him another contact address, which turned out to be the male dormitory of the Central Conservatory of Music. He was confused for a long time at that time. He could not imagine that Zhou Yan was actually a student of the Central Conservatory of Music.

Just when he had prepared himself mentally and came to find Zhou Yan, he found that Zhou Yan seemed not to be a student, but a teacher?

Hua Yang did not wait too long, only about five or six minutes, and the class was over.

Seeing Zhou Yan walking out of the classroom, he hurried over to greet him, "Hello, is this Teacher Zhou Yan?"
