Who are you calling "little fresh meat"? I'm the king.

Chapter 91 Mixed Group (310)
Shen Yan was telling the truth.

The script of "20 Again" has brought him what he wanted - money!

I am very grateful that I can join the crew and play a member of the main cast...

He wouldn't interfere with the filming at all.

I don't want to fight for power or anything.

So, I have a very good attitude.

When I have free time, I chat with Teacher He Saifei...

He Saifei is a Yue Opera actress and was the mainstay of the Xiaobaihua Yue Opera Troupe in those days. In the 1980s and 1990s, there was a group of young people who were dedicated to acting. The leading male role in the Zhejiang Xiaobaihua Yue Opera Troupe was Mao Weitao, and the leading female role was He Saifei.

Mao Weitao later played Dongfang Bubai in "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" and trained Li Yunxiao and Chen Lijun.

He Saifei is also very good, and won the "Little Hundred Flowers" Award for Outstanding Actress in an Opera Film...

Later, she entered the film industry and won the reputation of being the chosen concubine - she played a lot of concubines...

Of course, this also shows her beauty from another perspective.

The saying goes, "Marry a virtuous wife and take a beautiful concubine. There are ugly wives but few ugly concubines."

Indeed, her face is both artistic and full of sexual tension, with her eyes flickering and her cheeks flushed...

Shen Yan just treated her as a senior and asked her for advice on Yue Opera pronunciation...

"~A Lin Daiyu fell from the sky~ like a light cloud just emerging from a mountain~ serene as a flower reflecting on water, her movements like the wind swaying a willow. She may be a stranger in front of her, but in her heart she feels like an old friend~"

“Your singing is so popular!”

“I’m a pop singer!”

He Saifei was a little dissatisfied: "...you pop singers like to add some Peking Opera, Yue Opera, Kunqu Opera to your songs...that song "Su San" sung by Tao Zhe..."

"Teacher," Shen Yan explained, "pop music arrangements are gradually improving. You know the Beatles, right? They were the first to add string accompaniment to rock music. Nowadays, most rock singers have received classical music training and use classical music techniques... So, Chinese pop music naturally needs to absorb the essence of Chinese classical opera..."

"I can't stand hearing it anyway!"

"Then I'll sing the Peking Opera 'Wujiapo'..."

""Wujia Slope"..."

"In front of the imperial street, the colorful pavilion is looking for a son-in-law. A single man is chosen to marry you. Your father holds this rank in vain. He despises poverty but loves wealth, and regrets his previous words~"

After singing two lines, Shen Yan paused and asked, "How's it going?"

“…Is this ‘Wujiapo’?”

“There’s no backing track… I’ll grab a guitar and sing it again!”

He Saifei shook her head: "Goodbye, I don't like to hear it!"

“…Then I’ll sing you an arrangement of a BJ tune!”

"BJ Minor?"

Shen Yan beckoned Chen Xu to bring the guitar, strummed the strings casually, and then began to sing, "The peach leaves are pointed, the willow leaves cover the sky. In this position, Grandpa Ming, listen carefully to what I have to say..."

The singing quickly attracted the crew members...

Shen Yan was not a person who was afraid of the stage, so he finished singing decisively.

'The infatuated woman and the passionate man composed a little song to explore the Qingshui River. They composed a little song to explore the Qingshui River.'

Ma Jingwu asked, "Exploring the Qingshui River?"

“Yes, I adapted it!”

“It sounds nice…”

"Thank you, Teacher Ma!"

Ma Jingwu asked doubtfully, "...'Exploring the Qingshui River' is a two-person opera, right?"

"I've heard someone sing it... It's the traditional two-string accompaniment version. I think guitar accompaniment should also be okay... The melody is more subtle, and adding saxophone accompaniment in the middle would be even better!"

Wang Yuexin came over and interrupted, "Have you recorded a single?"

"Yes, I've already recorded it and will upload it to the music platform soon!"

“Not releasing songs?”

"What the hell? Physical albums can't even be sold these days..."

"Too…"

Shen Yan looked at him with a smile, then said, "How come you, a bassist, are also interested in songs?"

"…What's wrong with the bass player? The bass is also an indispensable part of the band!" This is the band's traditional insult to the bass - who said the bass is useless? Without a bass player, who will take the takeout?
……

"Run forward, facing cold eyes and ridicule. How can we feel the vastness of life without going through hardships? Fate cannot make us kneel and beg for mercy, even if our arms are covered in blood."

The camera focuses on Shen Yan who is screaming, and Jing Tian who is sitting next to him and covering his ears...

Shen Yan finished singing and raised his eyebrows proudly: "How is it? Our original song "Chasing Dreams with a Childlike Heart"!"

"Why are you howling like ghosts and wolves?"

Shen Yan made a bull horn gesture: "This is called rock and roll! The spirit of rock and roll is to express one's true feelings. We just want to roar!"

Jing Tian was speechless: "Rock... that's what you call it? Aren't you afraid of your voice getting hurt?"

"You don't understand, rock 'n' roll is all about that feeling of wanting to break but not being able to..."

Jing Tian looked at the instrument and couldn't help but wonder: "...How did you get this drum up here?"

“…This is… assembleable!”

"I don't understand your kind of music... I can't help you, I'm leaving!"

The plot is that Xiaomei, the lead singer of Xiang Qianjin band, passed away...

Xiang Qianjin invited Meng Lijun to be the lead singer, and this scene was Meng Lijun inspecting the band.

"No, sis…what kind of songs do you like? We can match them!"

"Yes, we will definitely cooperate!"

"What do you say!"

Jing Tian thought for a moment, then said, "I do have a song..."

"You sing!"

Jing Tian was not embarrassed and started speaking directly: "Let's chase the dreams in our hearts together, let's try to hold the sun in our palms~"

Well, Shen Yan's "It's You"...

"Click..."

Director Chen Zhengdao called a pause: "It's not natural enough, do it again!"

It's really not natural...

His expression was a little stiff.

Jing Tian was very distressed and simply asked the 'genius' next to him: "Brother Yan, why does your acting seem so casual, but so precise?"

Shen Yan was chatting with Wang Yuexin. When he heard her question, he answered casually: "You are not committed enough..."

"I'm very dedicated and have done a lot of desk work..."

"When I say dedication, it's not just about imagining yourself as the character, it's also about being natural... You're too stiff. Actually, your acting is already pretty good. Just a few more adjustments will be fine!"

“How do I adjust it?”

Shen Yan thought for a moment, then said: "... Later on, you should be more normal. Whatever attitude I have, you should adopt the same attitude..."

“…Be a little more normal?”

"You should lose your temper if you want to. You are my grandmother, so just yell at me if you want to. Don't think too much about it... You can even interrupt my singing."

"Interrupt directly?" Jing Tian thought for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, let's do it again!"

Shen Yan nodded to Chen Zheng, and Chen Zhengdao immediately notified them to start filming...

Uh, very real!
"Back to 20" is actually about a group of people playing house with Jing Tian!
The entertainment industry is very realistic. No matter how big the director, the screenwriter, or the artistic pursuit is, they all have to bow down to money!

There is only one boss in the crew!

On the crew and set, Jing Tian is the boss!

If she says she wants to change the lines, then she will change them. If she says she is not in a good mood today and doesn’t want to shoot, then she won’t shoot!

However, Jing Tian is not the kind of delicate person...

She works very hard and doesn't give herself any special treatment.

She obeys whatever the director says.

pretty good…

At least Shen Yan didn't have any aversion to her...
