1990: Starting from Baojia Street

Seeing the two people’s stunned expressions, Kong Chao smiled, turned around and walked out.

After he left, Iida Naoko winked at Nakamori Akina and said, "Akina, do you want to go out and take a look?"

Akina Nakamori was somewhat tempted by Iida Naoko's suggestion, but when she thought of the many people outside, she shook her head and said, "I won't go."

"Just stand at the door and watch."

Akina Nakamori's shaking head had no effect at all. Iida Seiko simply stood up, ran to open the door, and stuck her head out to look.

Their small box was right next to the lobby, and they could see the lobby and the small stage just by sticking their heads out.

At this moment, there is a girl standing on the stage holding a bamboo flute, and she is the one who is playing "Partridge Flying".

The girl did not finish playing "The Quail Flies". She only played a short section and then ended the performance.

Perhaps she knew that her playing was not very good, and she felt a little embarrassed when she bowed to thank the audience.

But the students in the audience were very considerate and clapped very hard.

Students love to make noise, and many of them were drunk, so the atmosphere became tense.

The girl just now was Yang Yuting from Class 95. She didn't want to go on the stage originally, but several classmates in the same class pushed her up there out of necessity.

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 student want to perform a musical instrument? I'll have someone get it for you."

Chen Ying smiled and shook her head, "No need, Teacher Zhou, I can just sing."

After saying that, Chen Ying walked onto the stage. She didn't ask for any accompaniment. She just cleared her throat and started singing.

"A big river has wide waves, and the wind blows the fragrance of rice and flowers on both sides..."

As soon as Chen Ying started singing the song "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 at the Central Academy of Drama have some unique skills. It is normal for them to be able to dance, sing, and play a musical instrument.

Chen Ying must have often shown her talents in front of her classmates, so no one was surprised to hear her singing, and many students even helped to clap the rhythm.

Seeing the students’ bright smiles, Zhou Yan also smiled. Student days were still the best.

These students' emotions are easily contagious, and their emotions can easily infect others.

No matter what we do, it's always comfortable to be with these students.

After a while, Chen Ying finished singing "A Great River" and walked off the stage. The students began to clamor for other students to go on stage to perform.

"It's still good to be young." Zhou Yan couldn't help but sigh.

Gao Jinwen, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but laugh and said, "Director Zhou, your words are a bit rude. Who here is not older than you? I am more than a generation older than you."

"I want two big ones." Chang Li said with a smile.

Liang Bolong laughed and said, "Then I can't count how many rounds there are."

Among the teachers present, Liang Bolong is the oldest, already in his early sixties.

If the school wasn't really short of teachers, how could he still be a class teacher even though he had already retired?

Liang Bolong stayed on to teach at the school after graduating in 61, and this year marks the th year that has passed.

He has taught all the other four teachers on the scene.

Chang Li graduated in 66, Gao Jinwen graduated in 77, Huang Dingyu graduated with undergraduate degree in 83, and Tian Youliang was the youngest, graduating in 89.

The reason 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’s more interesting is that Tian Youliang and Gong Li were classmates, and their class teacher was Gao Jinwen.

This is the case in art schools like the Central Academy of Drama and the Central Conservatory of Music. Not to mention teachers in the same department, even teachers in the same school are often more than just colleagues.

Tian Youliang smiled and said, "I can understand Director Zhou's feelings. I felt like a young person 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 at the time were older than me, I treated them as children."

In fact, Tian Youliang and his friends have all experienced the same feeling. All six teachers at this table stayed on to teach at the school after graduation.

When they graduated, the students they taught were not necessarily younger than them.

As a few people were chatting, Zhang Ziyi, who was from Class 96, was elected.

After Zhang Ziyi went up, many male classmates started screaming. Although Zhang Ziyi and her classmates were freshmen this year, the acting department was very small, and the number of students in several classes combined might not be as many as the number of students in the same major in an ordinary university. Therefore, everyone knew that a beautiful junior sister had arrived.

Many senior male students like to hang out with the Class of 96 whenever they have time.

Zhou Yan noticed that before Zhang Ziyi went on stage, she took a special look at their table with a somewhat fearful look in her eyes.

It was obvious that 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 the way he manages the children.

However, seeing Zhang Ziyi on stage, Chang Li was not unhappy. Instead, she took the initiative to introduce her to Zhou Yan, "This is Zhang Ziyi, from our class. She has a poor foundation in acting and is not very good at it. But she has been learning dance since she was a child, and her figure is good. She can spend less effort on this aspect."

An actor's performance is not just about lines and expressions. Shape and posture are also very important, especially in some costume dramas, which have very high requirements on posture and body shape.

In addition to costume dramas, martial arts dramas also have high requirements on body posture. Many martial arts movie stars have been exposed to them since childhood.

Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Wu Jing, these male martial arts stars all started practicing martial arts since childhood.

Few girls practice martial arts since childhood, but Zhang Ziyi has been learning dance since childhood, so she certainly has an advantage in this regard.

Speaking of which, many of the female students in the class of 96 were dancers. Except for Zhang Ziyi, students like Mei Ting, Hu Jing and Qin Hailu all learned dancing in elementary school.

Zhou Yan nodded and said, "Teacher Chang, the children in your class all look pretty good."

"I just came to school and I'm not settled yet. I need to work hard to improve myself."

While Chang Li was speaking, Zhang Ziyi had already started dancing.

She didn't make any special preparations. She just wore the most ordinary clothes, a pair of black wide-leg pants on the lower body and a gray turtleneck sweater on the upper body, and then she danced a folk dance on the stage.

Zhou Yan doesn't know much about dancing, but he can tell that Zhang Ziyi has good basic skills. Although she is dressed simply, it still doesn't hinder her charm.

Unfortunately, there was no music on the scene, which inevitably made her dance seem dry.

Dancing requires the accompaniment of music. There are two completely different feelings with or without music.

When singing, even without accompaniment, as long as the song is chosen right, one can still perform very well, just like the song "A Great River" sung by Chen Ying just now. Singing it a cappella may have a different flavor.

Although the effect of dry dancing was much worse, the students still watched it very seriously, especially the male students, whose eyes were wide open.

……

When students went on stage to perform, they were initially pushed up by other classmates, but later on the situation changed.

Many students started playing games, and the losers had to go on stage to perform or drink.

In this way, not everyone goes up to perform serious talents.

Some of the singers sang well, while others sang just so-so.

The same goes for dancers. Later on, there were some who danced very professionally like Hu Jing and Mei Ting, and some who just danced randomly on the stage like Li Naiwen.

But Li Naiwen is not incapable of dancing, it’s just that he is not very good at it. It would be better for him to do the opposite, at least he can bring happiness to everyone.

The most outrageous thing was that Xin Baiqing and Wang Qianyuan actually went on stage and performed a crosstalk for several minutes, and they did it pretty well.

Some students also chose to show off their musical instruments, but Zhou Yan thought most of them were of average level.

Musical instruments are something that require frequent practice. Even if some of them have learned them when they were young, and studied them seriously, if they don't practice regularly, the effect won't be very good when they perform them suddenly.

……

At some point, Akina Nakamori and Naoko Iida had moved out of the small box and found a place to sit at the back of the lobby.

They also brought out the dishes from the private room and placed them neatly on the table, eating and drinking while watching the show.

Compared to the private room, they still felt it was more lively outside.

At first, Akina Nakamori was a little shy, but later, when she got drunk, she didn't care anymore. "Come on, Akina, although I didn't go back to Neon this year, it's not bad in Yanjing." Iida Chengzi raised her glass to clink glasses with Akina Nakamori, but suddenly remembered the car incident last night, "The only downside is that the car broke down, but it doesn't matter, it's all in the past."

"Yeah, it's not bad." Akina Nakamori clinked glasses with Iida Seiko with a smile, then tilted her head back and drank most of the wine in the glass.

"Akina, you drink too fast. It will be bad if you finish all of Mr. Zhou's wine."

Akina Nakamori pursed her lips, "What's wrong with drinking a little of his wine?"

"Yeah, that's right. Mr. Zhou is so rich, it's okay to drink a little of his wine."

If Iida Naoko was awake, she would definitely notice that Akina Nakamori'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". Please forgive me if I don't sing it well."

When they heard "Snow Flower", the two girls looked towards the stage at the same time.

A tall and thin boy stood on the stage. He looked like he had drunk quite a bit of wine, and many of his classmates were cheering him on.

Everyone started to make a fuss, on the one hand because the boys had a good relationship with them, and on the other hand because many classmates knew that "Snow Flower" was a song written by Zhou Yan.

Even if I didn't know it before, I now know it because of my classmates' cheering.

Chang Li didn't know Zhou Yan wrote this song at first, but she realized it when she heard a classmate calling Zhou Yan's name, "Teacher Zhou, is this a song you wrote?"

Zhou Yan nodded, "Yes, it was written for a female singer."

"It's the queen of Japan, Akina Nakamori." Tian Youliang said.

Tian Youliang likes music. If he didn’t teach, his dream would be to form a rock band, so he knows more about music than other teachers.

"Can Tian Yu sing?" Chang Li asked.

"Not really." Liang Bolun said.

Tian Yu is in their class, but he really doesn't know how well Tian Yu sings, and he has never heard Tian Yu sing.

"Maybe he is hiding his true strength." Huang Dingyu said with a smile.

Since the song 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 confident.

Soon, Tian Yu began to sing the first sentence.

What no one expected was that he sang the Neon version.

In the first sentence, Tian Yu lowered the pitch, and his performance was fairly stable, using chest resonance.

However, Zhou Yan was a little confused because the lyrics sung by Tian Yu were completely different from the Japanese version.

After the second sentence came out, Zhou Yan suddenly rolled his eyes.

Because what Tian Yu sang was not Neon language at all, but Chinese sung in a Neon tone.

Zhou Yan also understood the lyrics, which was "Where to dig potatoes? You have to go to the suburbs to dig potatoes."

Moreover, Tian Yu not only sang the lyrics randomly, but his voice started to break in the third sentence. It is jaw-dropping that he could break the voice at such a low note.

At this time, many students had already heard that Tian Yu was making a prank and started laughing.

It was just a pity for Akina Nakamori and Naoko Iida. After hearing Tian Yu's lyrics, they once doubted whether they were Japanese.

I totally don't understand this word.

Could it be that they have been speaking Chinese all this time and have forgotten Neon, or maybe they have drunk too much and can't even understand Neon.

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, now understood that Tian Yu was trying to be funny when he went up there.

He pushed his glasses awkwardly and said to Zhou Yan, "Director Zhou, this student is ignorant and is making fun of your song."

In Liang Bolun's opinion, it was already a very offensive thing for Tian Yu to change the lyrics in front of the original work, and he could completely understand if Zhou Yan got angry.

Zhou Yan smiled and waved his hands, "It's okay, it's not too much of a change, it's harmless. I think his performance was very good, and the classmates were very happy too."

"Director Zhou, just don't be angry."

"Teacher Liang is underestimating Director Zhou. He has always been a man of broad mind." Gao Jinwen praised Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan smiled and said nothing more.

Tian Yu on the stage was still singing, but by the second time, his voice had begun to become hoarse, and his voice would break if the note went up a little bit, and he could hardly sing a complete sentence with his real voice.

Zhou Yan frowned as he listened. Although he didn't mind Tian Yu's modification of the lyrics, he really couldn't stand this kind of continuous, high-intensity distortion. It was really too damaging to his ears.

At this moment, a female voice suddenly sounded from the loudspeaker, just in time to continue the chorus.

"The memories are warm, I miss you every moment."

"I won't let you be too far away from me, walking in this season suitable for hugging."

"Love is in my heart so I am not pitiful, the memories are warm..."

The song is still sung in Chinese.

Zhou Yan recognized it immediately as the voice of Akina Nakamori.

His originally furrowed brows suddenly relaxed, it was like hearing heavenly music and his ears were suddenly enlightened.

The sudden appearance of the female voice also caused the students at the scene to exclaim.

The sound came from the "loudspeaker", and at first it was impossible to tell where the singer was, but soon everyone saw two girls at the back of the cafeteria.

One of the girls was holding the microphone and singing passionately.

In fact, many students had noticed them just now. After all, the two of them were sitting alone in the back, very obvious, but no one thought much about it and thought they were studio staff.

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 Akina Nakamori's hand came from.

Then Zhou Yan saw Kong Chao next to her and roughly understood that it must have been Kong Chao who helped her get it.

"Fuck, this must be Akina Nakamori." Tian Youliang suddenly shouted.

He has seen posters of Akina Nakamori. Although her outfit is different from now, if you look carefully you can still tell it is Akina Nakamori. The key is the voice... it's exactly the same.

Moreover, this song was written by Zhou Yan, so 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, "Yes, it's her."

In addition to Tian Youliang, other students recognized Akina Nakamori, and soon everyone started talking about it.

Many students widened their eyes when they learned that the singer was the original singer. They didn’t expect that there would be such a hidden program tonight.

This New Year’s Day was so worth it.

Because Tian Yu had already sung to the end, Akina Nakamori only sang for less than a minute and the song was over.

"I'm counting down the time to see you again

Waiting for the forever you promised me"

When Akina Nakamori sang the last word of the song, there was extremely warm applause in the cafeteria lobby.

Akina Nakamori also bowed to everyone with a smile and thanked 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.

After taking the microphone, Zhou Yan said with a smile, "Let me introduce you to everyone. This is Akina Nakamori, the original singer of "Snow Flower"."

Since Akina Nakamori took the initiative to sing, Zhou Yan helped introduce her.

After he finished his introduction, the students applauded again. Akina Nakamori waved to everyone as a greeting. (End of this chapter)
