Chapter 494: It Is Like Hearing the Music of Heaven, and the Ears Are Temporarily Clear
Seeing the two people's stunned expressions, Kong Chao smiled and turned to go out.
After he left, Iida Chengzi winked at Nakamori Akina, "Akina, do you want to go out and take a look?"
For Iida Chengzi's suggestion, Akina Nakamori was somewhat tempted, but thinking of so many people outside, she still shook her head, "I won't go."
"Just stand at the door and take a look."
Nakamori Akina's shaking head did not have any effect at all. Iida Chengzi got up directly, ran to open the door, and looked out.
Their small box was next to the lobby, and they could see the lobby and the small stage by sticking their heads out.
At this moment, a girl was standing on the stage with a bamboo flute. "The Quail Flies" was played by her.
The girl did not finish playing "The Quail Flies", but ended the performance after playing a short section.
Perhaps she also knew that she did not play very well, and she was a little embarrassed when she bowed to thank the audience.
But the students in the audience were very respectful and applauded very hard.
Students love to make noises, and many of them have been drinking, so the atmosphere is getting heated.
The girl just now was Yang Yuting from the 95th grade. She didn't want to go on stage, but several classmates in the same class made noises and pushed her up.
The bamboo flute in her hand was provided by the studio.
After Yang Yuting went down, her classmate Chen Ying was also pushed out by everyone.
Zhou Yan asked with a smile, "Does this classmate want to perform an instrument? I'll ask someone to get it for you."
Chen Ying smiled and shook her head, "No, Teacher Zhou, I can just sing."
After that, Chen Ying walked onto the stage. She didn't ask for accompaniment. She cleared her throat a little and started singing.
"A big river with wide waves, the wind blows the fragrance of rice flowers on both sides..."
As soon as Chen Ying started singing "A Big River", you could tell that she had received professional training. No wonder she was so confident when she went on stage.
Many of these students in the Central Academy of Drama have some unique skills. It is normal to be able to dance, sing, and play musical instruments.
Chen Ying should often show her talents in front of her classmates, so everyone is not surprised to hear her singing, and many students help to beat the rhythm.
Seeing the bright smiles of the students, Zhou Yan also smiled. It was still good in the student days.
These students' emotions are easily infected, and their emotions are also easy to infect others.
Being with these students, no matter what you do, it will always make people feel comfortable.
After a while, Chen Ying finished singing "A Big River" and walked off the stage, and the students began to make noises for other students to perform on stage.
"It's still good to be young." Zhou Yan couldn't help but sighed.
Gao Jinwen, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help laughing and said, "Director Zhou, your words are a bit impolite. Who here is not older than you? I am more than one round older than you."
"I want to be two rounds older." Chang Li said with a smile.
Liang Bolong smiled and said, "Then I can't count how many rounds I have had."
Among the teachers present, Liang Bolong is the oldest, and he is already in his early sixties this year.
If the school was not really short of teachers, he would have retired, so how could he still be a class teacher?
Liang Bolong stayed at the school to teach after graduating in 1961, and it has been 35 years this year.
He has taught all the other four teachers present.
Chang Li graduated in 1966, Gao Jinwen graduated in 1977, Huang Dingyu graduated in 1983, and Tian Youliang is the youngest, graduating in 1989.
Why Tian Youliang can get along well with the students is naturally related to age. He is not much older than the students in their class.
What is more interesting is that Tian Youliang and Gong Li are classmates, and their class teacher is Gao Jinwen.
Art schools like the Central Academy of Drama and the Central Conservatory of Music are like this. Not to mention teachers in the same department, even teachers in the same school are often not just colleagues.
Tian Youliang smiled and said, "I can understand Director Zhou's feelings. I felt like a young man in my first year after graduation, but in my second year, I felt that there was a big generation gap between me and my students. Although many of the students I taught were older than me, I treated them as children."
In fact, Tian Youliang had the same feeling as several of them. All six teachers at this table stayed on to teach after graduation.
When they graduated, the students they taught were not necessarily younger than them.
As they chatted, Zhang Ziyi from the 1996 class was elected.
After Zhang Ziyi went up, many male students screamed. Although Zhang Ziyi and her classmates were freshmen this year, the acting department was so small that the number of students in several classes combined might not be as many as the number of students in one major in an ordinary university, so everyone knew that a beautiful junior sister had come.
Many senior male students liked to gather with the 1996 class whenever they had something to do.
Zhou Yan noticed that before Zhang Ziyi went on stage, she deliberately glanced at their table with a bit of fear in her eyes.
Obviously, Zhang Ziyi was looking at her class teacher Chang Li.
Zhou Yan couldn't help but sigh, this teacher Chang is really strict, look at how he manages the children.
However, seeing Zhang Ziyi on stage, Chang Li was not unhappy, but took the initiative to introduce her to Zhou Yan, "This is Zhang Ziyi, from our class, she has a poor performance foundation and is not very smart. But she has learned dance since she was a child, and her figure is good, so she can spend less effort on this aspect."
The performance of an actor is not just about lines and expressions, body shape and posture are also very important, especially some costume dramas, which have very high requirements for posture and posture.
In addition to costume dramas, martial arts dramas also require high postures. Many martial arts movie stars have been exposed to them since childhood.
Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Wu Jing, these male martial arts stars all practiced martial arts since childhood.
Few girls practice martial arts since childhood. Zhang Ziyi has been learning dance since childhood, so she certainly has an advantage in this regard.
Speaking of which, many female students in the 1996 class are dancers. In addition to Zhang Ziyi, Mei Ting, Hu Jing, and Qin Hailu all learned dance since elementary school.
Zhou Yan nodded, "Teacher Chang, the children in your class look very good."
"I just came to school and haven't settled down yet. I need to work hard."
When Chang Li was talking, Zhang Ziyi had already started dancing.
She didn't prepare specially. She only wore the most ordinary clothes, black wide-leg pants on the lower body and a gray turtleneck sweater on the upper body, and danced folk dance on the stage.
Zhou Yan didn't know much about dance, but he could see that Zhang Ziyi's basic skills were very good. Although she was dressed ordinary, she still looked charming.
Unfortunately, there was no music on the scene, which inevitably made her dance look dry.
Dance needs music to cooperate. With or without music, it feels completely different.
For singing, if there is no accompaniment, as long as the song is chosen correctly, it can also be performed very well, just like Chen Ying's "A Big River" just now, the a cappella may have a different taste.
Although the effect of dry dancing is much worse, the students still watched it very seriously, especially the male students, their eyes were straight.
…
When the students went on stage to perform, they were pushed up by other students at the beginning, but the situation changed later.
Many students started playing games, and the losers had to go on stage to perform or drink.
In this way, not everyone went up to perform serious talents.
Some of the singers sang well, and some sang very ordinary.
The same is true for dancers. Later, there were some who danced very professionally like Hu Jing and Mei Ting, and some who just twisted on the stage like Li Naiwen.
But Li Naiwen is not actually unable to dance, but he is not very good at dancing. It is better to do the opposite, at least to bring happiness to everyone.
The most outrageous thing was that Xin Baiqing and Wang Qianyuan actually went on stage to perform a crosstalk for several minutes, and they performed it in a very realistic way.
Some students also chose to show off their musical instruments, but most of them were average in Zhou Yan's opinion.
Musical instruments need to be practiced frequently. Even if some of them learned it when they were young and studied it seriously, if they don't practice it regularly, the live effect will not be very good if they suddenly perform it.
…
Akina Nakamori and Seiko Iida had moved out of the small private room at some point and found a place to sit down at the back of the lobby.
They also brought out the dishes in the private room and placed them neatly on the table, eating, drinking and watching the performance.
Compared to the private room, they still felt that it was more lively outside.
Akina Nakamori was a little shy at first, but later, when she got drunk, she didn't care so much.
"Come on, Akina, although I didn't go back to Japan this year, it's not bad in Yanjing." Iida Chengzi raised her glass to clink glasses with Nakamori Akina, but suddenly remembered the car incident last night, "The only flaw is that the car broke down, but it doesn't matter, it's all in the past."
"Yeah, it's not bad." Nakamori Akina clinked glasses with Iida Chengzi with a smile, then raised her head and drank most of the wine in the glass.
"Akina, you drink too fast, it would be bad if you finish Teacher Zhou's wine."
Nakamori Akina pursed her lips, "What's wrong with drinking a little of his wine."
"Yeah, yes, Teacher Zhou is so rich, it's okay to drink a little of his wine."
If Iida Chengzi was sober, she would definitely be able to notice that Nakamori Akina's tone was different from before, but at the moment she was dizzy and couldn't think of anything.
The two were drinking happily when a voice suddenly came from the stage, "Hello everyone, the song I'm about to sing is "Snow Flower". I'm not singing well, please forgive me."
Hearing "Snow Flower", the two girls looked at the stage in unison.
A thin and tall boy stood on the stage, and it seemed that he had drunk a lot of wine. Many students in the audience were cheering.
Everyone was cheering, on the one hand because the boy had a good relationship with them, and on the other hand because many students knew that "Snow Flower" was written by Zhou Yan.
Even if they didn't know it before, they knew it now because of the students' cheering.
Chang Li didn't know that Zhou Yan wrote this song at first, but she didn't react until she heard a classmate calling Zhou Yan's name from behind, "Teacher Zhou, is this a song you wrote?"
Zhou Yan nodded, "Yes, it was written for a female singer."
"It's the queen of Neon, Akina Nakamori." Tian Youliang said.
Tian Youliang likes music. If he doesn't teach, his dream is to start a rock band, so he knows more about music than other teachers.
"Can Tian Yu sing?" Chang Li asked.
"Not really." Liang Bolong said.
Tian Yu was in their class, but he didn't know how well Tian Yu sang, and he had never heard Tian Yu sing before.
"Maybe he's a hidden talent." Huang Dingyu smiled.
Because it was written by Zhou Yan, several teachers were looking forward to it.
Chang Li and the others thought that since Tian Yu dared to sing this song in front of Zhou Yan, he must be sure of it.
Soon, Tian Yu started singing the first sentence.
What everyone didn't expect was that he actually sang the neon version.
In the first sentence, Tian Yu dropped the key, and his performance was quite stable, using chest resonance.
However, Zhou Yan was a little confused because the lyrics sung by Tian Yu were completely different from the neon language version.
After the second sentence came out, Zhou Yan suddenly rolled his eyes.
Because what Tian Yu sang was not in neon language at all, but in Chinese with a neon language tone.
Zhou Yan also understood the lyrics, which is "Where to dig potatoes? Potatoes have to be dug in the suburbs."
Moreover, Tian Yu not only sang the lyrics randomly, but also started to break the sound in the third sentence. It was jaw-dropping that such a low sound could break the sound.
At this time, many classmates had already heard that Tian Yu was making a prank and burst into laughter.
It was just a bitter experience for Nakamori Akina and Ida Nariko. When they heard Tian Yu’s lyrics, they once suspected that they were not neon people.
I don't understand this word at all.
Could it be that they have been speaking Chinese during this period and have forgotten the neon language, or maybe they have been drunk and cannot even understand the neon language.
When they heard their classmates laughing, they just thought they were laughing at the boy's broken voice, and felt that the boy was quite pitiful.
Liang Bolong, who was sitting next to Zhou Yan, also understood at this moment that Tian Yu was serious and funny.
He pushed up his glasses awkwardly and said to Zhou Yan, "Director Zhou, this student is not sensible and is making fun of your song."
In Liang Bolong's view, Tian Yu's random change of lyrics in front of the original is already a very offensive thing. If Zhou Yan rises, he will completely understand.
Zhou Yan smiled and waved his hand, "It doesn't matter. He didn't change it too much. It's harmless. I think his performance was very good and the classmates were very happy."
"Director Zhou, just don't be angry."
"Teacher Liang, you are looking down on Director Zhou. He has always been a prime minister and can support the boat." Gao Jinwen put a high hat on Zhou Yan's head next to him.
Zhou Yan smiled and said nothing more.
Tian Yu on the stage was still singing, but when he sang for the second time, his voice had already begun to become hoarse. His voice would break if he went up a little, and he could hardly sing a complete sentence with his true voice.
Zhou Yan frowned when he heard it. Although he didn't mind Tian Yumo changing the lyrics, he really couldn't stand this kind of continuous and high-intensity breaking sound. It was really damaging to his ears.
At this moment, a female voice suddenly sounded from the speaker, just in time to connect to this chorus.
"The memories are warm, I miss you every moment."
"Don't let you be too far away from me. Walk in this season that is suitable for hugs."
"Love is in my heart, so I am not pitiful. Memories make me warm..."
The song is still in Chinese.
Zhou Yan immediately recognized the voice of Akina Nakamori.
His originally frowning brows suddenly relaxed, and it was as if he was suddenly enlightened by the sound of celestial music.
The sudden appearance of a female voice also made the students present exclaim.
The sound came from the "big speaker". At first, it was difficult to tell where the singer was, but soon, everyone saw the two girls behind the cafeteria.
One of the girls was holding a microphone and singing with abandon.
In fact, many students noticed them just now. After all, the two of them were sitting alone in the back. It was very obvious, but everyone didn't think much about it and thought they were the staff of the studio.
Zhou Yan also turned his head. He had just seen two girls running out of the box, but he didn't know where the microphone in Nakamori Akina's hand came from.
Then Zhou Yan saw Kong Chao next to him and probably understood that it was Kong Chao who helped her get it.
"Fuck, this must be Akina Nakamori." Tian Youliang suddenly called out.
He had seen the poster of Akina Nakamori. Although her outfit was different from her current one, if she looked carefully, she could still tell that it was Akina Nakamori. The key point was that the voice... was exactly the same, right?
Moreover, this song was written by Zhou Yan, and it seems reasonable for Akina Nakamori to appear in Zhou Yan's studio.
Several teachers looked at Zhou Yan, wanting to see his response.
Zhou Yan nodded, "Well, it's her."
In addition to Tian Youliang, other students recognized Nakamori Akina, and soon everyone started talking.
Many students' eyes widened when they learned that the person singing now was the original singer himself. They didn't expect that there would be such a hidden program tonight.
This New Year's Day is so worth it.
Because Tian Yu had already sang to the end, Nakamori Akina only sang for less than a minute before the song ended.
"Counting down the time to see you again
Waiting to give me the promised forever"
When Akina Nakamori sang the last word of the song, the cafeteria lobby burst into extremely warm applause.
Akina Nakamori also smiled and bowed to everyone, thanking everyone for their applause.
Zhou Yan waved to Tian Yu, who was still standing on the stage. The latter understood and immediately ran over and handed the microphone to Zhou Yan's hand.
After taking the microphone, Zhou Yan said with a smile, "Let me introduce to you, this is Akina Nakamori, the original singer of "Snow Flower"."
Now that Nakamori Akina has taken the initiative to sing, Zhou Yan helps introduce her.
After he finished his introduction, the students applauded again. Nakamori Akina waved to everyone as a greeting. (End of chapter)
