Chapter 12 Working Two Jobs… No, Three!

After a few simple chats, Shen Yan agreed...

This job is not complicated.

Just play a piece when the article requires it and correct his posture at the same time.

The article needs to imitate the violin performance...

He was so famous that he had no time to do any desk work, so he could only rely on his imagination to interpret Nie Er!
Violin playing requires skill...

It is difficult for a person who knows nothing to come up with something by imagination...

As for learning?

Haha, it’s hard to get started with this thing without half a year of experience…

Most enthusiasts who try to play the violin can only last for half a month at most – the sound is too bad, like killing a chicken…

Shen Yan was correcting Wen Zhang now: "Brother Wen Zhang... you can't just play the violin like this. Pluck the strings with your left hand and play with your right hand... That's right, this is the position!"

"Is that so?"

"Correct!"

Wen Zhang tried to pull it, then heard a sound of sawing wood, and immediately stopped... Confused, he asked Shen Yan: "...Why is the sound I make so unpleasant?"

"The key is pitch. The violin is different from other instruments. On the piano, as long as you press the right key, the note will be correct. Guitar and pipa have frets, and if you press the right fret, the note will be correct. The violin is different. The fingerboard is completely dark, and you have to find the pitch yourself. If it's even slightly off, the pitch will be wrong.

Then, once you've mastered intonation, you'll find that controlling the bow with your right hand is even more difficult, because the quality of the sound is entirely determined by your right hand, and the different points where the bow touches the strings require different amounts of force from different parts of your right hand... That's why most people who learn the violin are children, and they focus on developing their skills from a young age!

"What?"

"The most crucial aspect of playing the violin is that the pitch must be accurate. This relies on the innate ear to hear, and then the feedback is sent to the brain, which then corrects whether the pitch should be high or low. The best time to judge the pitch is generally before the age of 9..."

“…Can I put it down a little? It’s hurting my jaw!”

"No!" Shen Yan shook his head: "You can try... but I suggest you not to try it. Once you lift it lower, it will look very ugly and vulgar..."

"Don't you think this backhand gesture is a bit inhumane?"

Shen Yan thought about it seriously, and then said: "I think it's just to show off..."

"Pretending?"

“Art, after all, is just about pretending…”

Hearing this, Wen Zhang nodded: "That makes sense..."

"Okay, Brother Wen Zhang, I'll go back first..."

"Wait a minute," Wen Zhang stopped him, "Is there any way you can make it less painful for me?"

"...You could put some soft padding around the violin, or get a soft plastic violin. You don't need to play it to make any sound anyway; it's just a prop..."

"Will it deform?"

“…No…”

……

Take stock of the current situation.

I have to continue following the actors, and I have to continue my work as a copywriter. I also took on commissioned articles...

It’s like working…three jobs at the same time!

I had 13,000 yuan on me - I bought a laptop and some clothes.

As for expenses, food and accommodation are provided by the crew...

If they don't mess around, the crew generally doesn't need to spend money.

Fucking is pornographic...

Logically speaking, Shen Yan is in his twenties, and his mind should be full of Naizi...

But he has no interest at the moment - I just want to make money now!

As for rescuing women involved in import and export trade… to be honest, he was quite disgusted by this matter.

But you can wash your feet...

In his previous life, he really liked washing feet...

How should I put it… Washing feet can build up a man’s courage, making you less timid when approaching girls, and letting you experience what it feels like when a girl takes the initiative…

It can also help you stop stuttering when speaking, stop blushing when seeing a beautiful woman, and dare to look directly into a girl's eyes.

And you have to understand that good looks are just the threshold for them to see you. When you confidently and skillfully gesture and say you want to change, congratulations, you have transformed. Although it costs two or three hundred yuan per visit, inner growth cannot be measured by money.

Oh, he is bringing Zhang Wuchou to wash his feet now!
Proper foot massage...

The so-called Tao follows nature, foot massage is also the Tao, and the technique is also the method!

The autumn wind knows my feelings, it is gentle and affectionate. Love starts with the bell, and it is hard to let go when the bell stops...

Of course, Shen Yan only washed his feet, so Zhang Wuchou added two extra hours...

After returning, he also shared his experience with Shen Yan: "Generally speaking, adding two clocks will almost achieve harmony in life..."

Shen Yan waved his hand: "...I'm just washing my feet!"

"How could a man go to a place like that just to have his feet washed? I'm telling you, don't be shy... If you're interested, just keep going. If two times doesn't work, try three times. If three times doesn't work, try four times... I once went all the way to six times, and the woman couldn't take it anymore. She offered to stop bothering and just move on to the next step!"

Hearing this, Shen Yan stopped what he was doing... Is this possible?
Zhang Wuchou looked at him and suddenly asked, "...Can what you wrote be published?"

"…You mean physical publication?"

"Correct!"

"It's a bit difficult..." Shen Yan explained: "Currently, the revenue from online literature is not only subscriptions but also adaptations. In the past, there were royalties..."

"publishing?"

"Yes, it's mainly the traditional Chinese version. In the early days, the income of mainland Chinese online writers came mostly from traditional Chinese publishing in Taiwan..."

"what about now?"

"It's no longer possible now... who would want to read the original when there are pirated copies? Besides, you have to buy the book... publishers charge a maximum of ten yuan per thousand words..."

"So...how much money can you make in a month?"

"I haven't put it online yet. It's the free update period now... It should be online in a month!"

“…Then you continue writing. I’m going to sleep first!”

"Ah."

Shen Yan replied, glancing at the cigarettes he was smoking… white-shelled Zhongnanhai cigarettes. I’ll buy him two packs tomorrow…

Then put on your headphones...

After all, someone introduced me to a job...

……

"The National Anthem" is a mission drama, and the investment and production are specially funded by the TV station. All the behind-the-scenes staff are very... doing their own job.

I heard from them that the show has already set a premiere date!
Anyway, a bunch of people come to inspect the progress every day...

Shen Yan has absolutely no connection with this group of people.

After joining the crew, he barely even saw Cui Weidong a few times...

——You came in through the back door, you have to keep a low profile!

In addition, everyone in the crew who has a certain position has a bad temper.

Especially the executive director.

The executive director has to convey the director's instructions and organize all the crew members to shoot. The daily workload is also very strict, and the shooting must be done quickly without any slacking off...

No time to even pee!
In this kind of environment, everyone's temper is very explosive.

Shen Yan usually avoids these people...

As for the article…

Anyway, before filming his scenes every day, Shen Yan would play a song for him.

He was quite generous and would always take some delicious food from the car for Shen Yan...

Well, it’s the spicy strips that he endorses himself!
That’s not bad!
Not to mention being polite, but at least, he was respectful to Shen Yan...

Honestly speaking, after a few days of interaction, Shen Yan found it hard to imagine that this was an actor known for his bad temper.
