Entertaining Children

  Chapter 196 I found a treasure

  Seeing everyone nodding their heads, Xiao Yao continued: “I know you are worried that the specific plot will affect the performance of your good moves in the choreography. In fact, you don’t have to worry about this, I have considered it.”

   "Do you know who of us is good at what actions?" Many people looked at Xiao Yao and muttered in their hearts, but they all held back and did not say anything.

"First of all, only two people appeared at the beginning of this dance," Xiao Yao pointed to Zhou Jingyi and said: "Jin, you are the heroine." Then he looked at Paul and said, "Are you Paul, right?" Seeing Paul nod. Xiao Yao continued: "You are the leading actor. The opening stage is mainly your duet dance, which is mainly for locking, which expresses the identity of the lovers of you two, so this section of music is also more cheerful."

"Then you, you, you..." Xiao Yao nodded eight people in one breath, and then continued: "I know you guys are good at popin, and you guys are responsible for acting as zombies. The second paragraph is mainly about You popin group dance of zombies, so the second part of the music will be a little gloomy."

"The rest of the people are naturally normal humans. The dance in this part is more intense. You are the main body, and it is also when you show your magical powers. All of your masterpieces are also performed at this time. What kind of somersault, all kinds of floors. Actions and housekeeping skills can be used. Of course, I have also designed some additional actions for you, and I hope you can do them." Xiao Yao looked at the remaining street dancers and said.

"Finally," Xiao Yao's eyes returned to Zhou Jingyi and Paul, "It is the role of your two protagonists again. Here, I designed some modern dance moves for Jin. Jin you originally learned modern dance systematically. Yes, so there shouldn’t be a problem? Paul, although you have never studied modern dance, your movements are very simple, basically just a few lifting movements. You only need to have enough strength to lift the gold cup. There is no technical difficulty. ."

   "What the hell? We are hip-hop, and we are participating in a hip-hop contest. Why are there modern dance moves?" Even Zhou Jingyi said strangely this time.

"Why not?" Xiao Yao smiled, "It just adds a few moves, and it won't change the overall style of this street dance dance. This dance street dance part exceeds 80%, and the modern dance moves less than 100%. Twenty points, no one can say that this dance is not street dance."

"But the mixing of hip-hop and modern dance moves makes people feel weird? Anyway, I haven't seen it, nor have I imagined the effect of mixing these two dance moves." Zhou Jingyi was still a little worried. . Paul, TJ and other dancers also nodded in agreement.

"Want to see the effect? ​​I have a way." As he said, Xiao Yao took out his mobile phone from his pocket, opened a video and handed it to Zhou Jingyi, "This is a dance that was popular in China two years ago. Street dance and The combination of modern dance and ballet, in which hip-hop and academic style account for almost half. You can see the overall effect of this dance."

  After Zhou Jingyi took the phone, the other members of the dance team curiously surrounded Zhou Jingyi and watched.

  What Xiao Yao showed to Zhou Jingyi is naturally the dance video of "BoutIt" that he designed for the Dawn Dance Company back then. After the rehearsal was completed, Xiao Yao also saved a video of their dance on his mobile phone.

  The electro-sounding drums and keyboard sound started, and then the majestic violin sound was added. Everyone felt a tingling scalp, and everyone felt very shocked by listening to this soundtrack.

  The entire dance team in the video is clearly divided into two parts. The boys' teams basically dance hip-hop, and the girls' teams are responsible for ballet and modern dance. The two teams have their own individual performances and group dance time together, and there is no lack of them dancing each other's dances. Of course, when dancing the other party's dance, the difficulty of the action will naturally be lower.

  Two teams and two types of dances are mixed together, but there is no sense of disobedience. Whether it’s those muscular boys jumping up to the national standard, or slender girls jumping up to the best of hip-hop, the audience will find it interesting when they watch it, but they won’t jump out of the feeling of this dance in an instant. It just won't be called a "play".

   "This dance is incredible."

   "Unexpectedly, the dance can still dance like this."

   "Who made up this dance? Amazing!"

   "Just the soundtrack is nothing to say, it's energetic, and it feels very angry."

The members of the dance team in front of Xiao Yao may not say much in theory, but since they all dance, their perception of dance is beyond ordinary people. It is naturally easy to judge whether a dance is excellent. of.

"So, do you think there is no problem with this mixed dance form?" Xiao Yao looked at the amazed people, "There is no restriction on the type of dance in the video, so it can be divided into street dance and academic dance. Half, we are participating in the hip-hop competition this time. The dance as a whole must be hip-hop. Naturally, we can’t use this half-and-half design, but add some modern dance moves to enhance the expressiveness and appeal of the whole dance. Everyone Do you still think there is a problem?"

   "No problem." The concrete example is already in front of us, and everyone has seen and felt the effect. Naturally, no one has any objections.

   "Wait!" Zhou Jingyi suddenly said, attracting everyone's attention and attention. Could it be that Zhou Jingyi, who was the most supportive of Xiao Yao at the beginning, still has any objections at this time?

Zhou Jingyi looked at Xiao Yao and said: "One is street dance plus ballet, modern dance, national standard and other academic styles, and the other is street dance plus modern dance moves. There are also male and female protagonists, both of which are duet dances that highlight the male and female protagonists. The group dance of the whole team. This is the dance of a Huaxia dance team. You are from Huaxia. The most important thing is that this video is obviously a rehearsal video in the rehearsal room, not a stage performance video. So, the dance on this video Choreography and soundtrack, you too?"

   "Wow!" Hearing Zhou Jingyi's comparison and the reasons cited, when everyone thought that it was really the case, they all stared at Xiao Yao in surprise.

"Yes, I compiled this for them two years ago, and I made the soundtrack." Xiao Yao smiled and nodded, "I told you that I was also a member of the dance team in China. The dance team on the video This is the dance team I joined in Huaxia. After I helped them choreograph this dance two years ago, they invited me to join their team. I also started to learn to dance with them since then."

   "In other words, when you made this dance, you didn't know how to dance at all?" TJ continued to confirm.

   "Yes, I didn't know how to dance before. But my mother used to be a professional dancer before she became an actor. I also have a certain understanding of dance. I have seen a lot of dances and have a lot of ideas." Xiao Yao said.

"At the time, the captain of the **** the dance team was my friend. I originally followed her to the dance team to watch them rehearse. Later I discovered that they were a dance team, but it was divided into two separate parts. Street dance, while dancing ballet, modern dance, and the academic style dances of the national standard, seemed to be irrelevant on both sides. It made me feel like they were two teams. At that time, I wondered why not combine the two parts of them. How about a dance together? So there was this dance later, and I was invited by them to join their dance team."

   "I'm going, this is a **** choreography genius who can score." TJ exaggerated.

"If you showed us this video three days ago, we must have invited you to join us at that time to help us choreograph and score the music. How could there be any agreement to vote for the work three days later?" Paul also laughed As he said, his face clearly showed the expression of having found a treasure.

   "It seems like this," Xiao Yao scratched his head, "Why didn't I think of it at the time. This is indeed a very simple way."

  Since I had choreographed works before, I just show them directly. Unfortunately, Xiao Yao didn't think of such a simple method at the time.

"Anyway," Xiao Yao put down his hand scratching his head and continued, "The result is still the same. I didn't waste time doing useless things. Even if you agreed to join me at that time, I didn't have one at hand. The dance can be given to you at that time. I still have to spend almost three days to get the dance that appeared."

   "In that case, let's not waste time." Paul stood up and said, "Guys, you have no objection to Young joining us as our choreographer and soundtrack, right?"

   "No!" Everyone shook their heads.

"Okay, let's start rehearsing." Paul clapped his hands and made everyone stand up, then turned to look at Xiao Yao and said, "The choreography, how to proceed, how everyone should practice, we will listen now. Yours."

  "Well, first of all, let's start with the actions of you and Jin. Let the others practice freely." Xiao Yao said.

  Zhou Jingyi and Paul stood in front of Xiao Yao, looking forward to how Xiao Yao would guide them. Although others heard Xiao Yao talking about free practice, they didn’t walk away obediently. They just stood a little away and looked at the three curiously. They also wanted to see how Xiao Yao, the new choreographer, did the same to the team. Of the two key members.

   Xiao Yao didn't care too much about the onlookers of the players, and began to make gestures to explain the movements to Zhou Jingyi and Paul. He had been choreographing and instructing Cheng Xi and Chen Chen in the Dawn Dance Troupe before. With some experience, he still followed the method at the time. Explain first, then demonstrate if it doesn’t work. Let them figure out the designed movements first, and then train them to match the rhythm of the music and the emotional interaction between the two.

  I also practiced for two years. Xiao Yao, who has a certain basic dance skills, started dancing demonstration movements much easier than when he coached Cheng Xi and Chen Chen. It was also much more standard and smooth. At the beginning, he relied on the physical foundation that had practiced martial arts, and his movements were hardened one by one.

The process of guiding the decomposition of the movements is certainly not more enjoyable than the overall dance. Although the members of the dance team saw the process of Xiao Yao guiding Zhou Jingyi and Paul with relish, the audience of other band members saw it a little. It's not exciting.

  Samien with a cold look still leaned on the pillar and watched quietly, while Dean, George and Mike simply went to the side and watched Xiao Yao chatting in a low voice.

   "Unexpectedly, Yang would choreograph, and he would be able to choreograph that kind of dance two years ago. How old was he at that time? It seems that he was less than sixteen? It's hard to imagine." George sighed softly. When Zhou Jingyi watched the dance video with Xiao Yao's mobile phone, some of them also leaned in to watch it.

"Yeah, learning masters, martial arts, playing teams, choreography and dancing, don't you think he can't do anything?" Dean also shook his head and sighed, "I originally thought that the Huaxia exchange student who lived in my house was just a school. A common nerd, but he did not expect to be such a monster, you say, is this my luck or misfortune?"

"Come on, don't get cheap and be good." Mike and George looked at Dean contemptuously together, and George said, "Aren't you already following Yang Xue to compose and write songs? You just picked up treasure. I What I regret most now is why I didn't let my parents go to school to apply for a host family for exchange students."
