Entertaining Children

  Chapter 204 Advance to the Main Match

After speaking to the hip-hop team behind him, Piper Hugo, who turned around, looked at Zhou Jingyi on the stage and said, "Before I start evaluating you, I have a few questions that I want to ask first, okay? "

   "Of course you can, may I ask." Zhou Jingyi smiled.

"First of all, you "zombies" scared all of us when they came out. This look is very cool. Did you design and make it yourself?" Piper Hugo looked at the few standing in the back row. "Zombie" asked curiously.

"Yes," Zhou Jingyi nodded. "Specifically, it was designed by one of our team members, and most of the production was done by him. We just helped step on the clothes to make the clothes look dirty. Yes, the zombie makeup on their faces was done by me and him to help the players, but he also designed the makeup, and I just applied it according to his instructions."

   "Oh? Who is it? Could you please stand up to the front?" Piper Hugo said with interest.

   "He is not on stage." Zhou Jingyi shook her head, "He is not an American. According to the rules of this game, he cannot perform on stage, so he is not on stage now."

"Okay," Piper Hugo nodded, seeming to be satisfied with their compliance behavior, and then asked another question: "What happened to the lights when the "zombies" appeared? When did you turn them off? We have all the lighting engineers on site bought?"

"Wait, this question, I seem to be more likely to ask our Jill," Piper said to herself before Zhou Jingyi answered, then turned his head to the direction of the control room on the second floor above the auditorium and shouted: "Jill ! How long ago were you bought by them?"

   "No, we don't know the lighting engineer on site," Zhou Jingyi replied with a smile, "In the beginning, I didn't know what was going on, but now I think I know the answer."

   "Oh?" Piper turned around and looked at Zhou Jingyi on the stage, "What's the matter?"

"If the lighting engineer is bought, it must have been bought just now when we performed. And the person who bought him must be the team member who made the "zombie" costumes and styling we just talked about. Because I think So far he is not in the audience seat where he was originally. If I am not mistaken, he must be in the control room on the second floor now, with the lighting engineer." Zhou Jingyi explained.

"How is it possible?" Piper did not communicate. "In order to avoid interfering with the work of the lighting engineer and sound engineer, the aisle door leading to the control room on the second floor is locked. Only the two of them and a few of us have the keys. "

   "I don't know how he did it, I just believe that he will definitely have a way." Zhou Jingyi said confidently.

"Well, I'm really interested in this guy now." Piper said, turning to the control room again and said: "Jill, I know you can hear what I say. That kid is in yours now. Control room? If you are, let him come down and come on stage. I'm serious."

  The three judges all turned their chairs, and even the people in the audience turned their heads and looked curiously in the direction of the control room on the second floor behind.

I saw a figure walking out of the control room, and when he came to the door of the aisle leading to the control room, the figure did not open the door, but directly supported the railing of the second floor aisle next to him and turned to the outside of the railing. . The figure's legs were suspended in the air, and only his hands grasped the upper part of the railing to maintain his body.

  "Huh~" Seeing this, there was an exclamation in the theater. The walkway on the second floor of the theater is more than four meters away from the ground and close to five meters, plus the height of the railing, it is almost six meters, and falling from this place is very dangerous.

  However, the figure grabbed the bulge at the bottom of the railing with both hands as it fell, stabilized his figure, let go again, and finally landed on the carpeted theater floor.

   "Huh~" Seeing that the figure walked up without incident, the people who knew he had landed safely let out a sigh of relief.

  The person who landed is naturally Xiao Yao. After landing safely, he trot all the way onto the stage and stood beside Zhou Jingyi. Zhou Jingyi moved a step aside very wittily and gave him the position in front of the microphone.

  At this time, everyone realized that this was a very young teenager with a Chinese face.

   "Young man, what you did just now is very dangerous, this kind of behavior is too reckless." The first sentence of Piper who turned around was to teach Xiao Yao.

"The lighting engineer didn't give me the key to that door." Xiao Yao said, "I thought he was letting me come and go back, so I could only jump down. I played parkour, and I played that kind of action. I’m already very skilled, it’s not that dangerous for me, but I still appreciate what you just told me.

  At this time, a familiar song called "Forget" suddenly sounded from the live speaker. After just a few sentences, the music stopped.

   "Well, Jill, I know you forgot to give him the key, not deliberately embarrassing him." Piper raised his hand back amusedly and said loudly.

   "Your teammate said you are not American?" Piper returned his attention to Xiao Yao.

   "Yes, I am from Huaxia and I am from Huaxia." Xiao Yao replied.

   "Can you tell me what you do? And what do you come to the United States?" Piper continued to ask.

  "I am a student and came to the United States to study as an international exchange student. Now I am studying in a middle school in Calabasas." Xiao Yao continued to answer.

  "Student? Middle school?" Piper repeated in surprise.

   "Yes." Xiao Yao nodded.

  "You designed and made the shape of the zombie?" Piper continued to ask.

   "Yes." Xiao Yao continued to nod.

   "He is the choreographer of this dance." Zhou Jingyi suddenly stretched her head to the microphone and interjected.

   "Really?" This time the three people on the judging stage were surprised at the same time.

   "Basically," Xiao Yao said, "I came up with the idea and the plot, but my teammates helped to improve a lot of details of the action."

   "How did you do it?" Piper looked at Xiao Yao and said.

   "I don't know, I will." Xiao Yao shrugged again and spread his hands.

   "Can you dance?" Piper asked a different question.

   "Yes." Xiao Yao continued to nod.

  "Can I have a paragraph?" Pipette asked.

   "Why?" Xiao Yao laughed, "Are you planning to amend the rules of the game to allow non-Americans to dance on stage?"

   "No, just to satisfy my old man's curiosity." Piper also laughed.

   "Can you refuse?" Xiao Yao curled his lips.

  "Aren't you afraid that I will eliminate your team because of this?" Piper continued to laugh.

   "Will you?" Xiao Yao smiled and looked at Piper, and asked rhetorically.

   "Well, I really won't." Piper smiled and raised his hands.

   "Mary, Santos, what are your opinions?" Piper turned to look at his two review partners.

   "Promote directly." The two looked at each other, and then replied in unison.

   "Very well, I have the same idea." Piper laughed, and then said to everyone on the stage, "Congratulations, you will advance directly to the race! You can start celebrating now."

   "Awesome!" Zhou Jingyi beside Xiao Yao screamed and hugged Xiao Yao. The team members behind also cheered, surrounded the two, a group of people happily hugged together.

   "Well, you can leave now and wait for our main match schedule to be notified. Now, leave the stage to the team behind and go home to celebrate." Piper had to interrupt the players on the stage.

   "Okay, thank you." All the players on the stage bowed again and jumped off the stage happily. In the enviable eyes of the audience, they opened the theater door and left.

  Blowed by the cold wind outside the theater, everyone calmed down a bit. Zhou Jingyi recalled her performance on the stage just now, and asked Xiao Yao with some fear: "Your dance is already very good now. It's not that you can't get it. But when Piper asked you to dance on stage just now, you Why refuse? Don’t you fear that he will actually eliminate our team because you refuse him?"

"Ha, of course not afraid." Xiao Yao said with a smile, "I said, I have watched the competition videos of the "National Street Dance Contest" in the past few years. In the past few years, Piper has been the judge. I know his character. . To fully demonstrate his personality within the scope permitted by the rules, he will only appreciate it, and will not retaliate."

   "I thought you said that you watched the video of the game, and it was only the dance part." Zhou Jingyi said.

   "Of course not. Understanding the review is also one of my homework." Xiao Yao said, "Unfortunately, this year's review is only Piper, the old review of previous years, and all other reviews have been replaced."

   "Enough." Paul patted Xiao Yao on the shoulder and said, "You have done well enough."

  "Where shall we go to celebrate next?" TJ leaned over, "Would you like to go to the bar? I know many good bars in Los Angeles.

   "No, Yang is not old enough to enter the bar." Zhou Jingyi said.

"Yeah, I think it's fine to celebrate a little bit. Just go to the bar and party. We just entered the race, not the championship." Paul also said, "Besides, our race dance hasn't settled yet. ."

  As soon as Paul said this, everyone immediately looked at Xiao Yao.

"Um... the main race is different from the primary election." Xiao Yao groaned for a moment. "According to the competition system, the first two games of the main race are one-on-one PK matches. Since it is a form of fighting dance, our This way of designing the plot can no longer be used. We can only think of other ways."

   "That's what I said." Everyone nodded. Speaking of the reason why they were able to directly qualify for the race today, the biggest highlight is that they used dance to show a complete story. In fighting dance, one side dances for a while, and then the other dances again in response, so that it alternates and reciprocates until the end of the game. Therefore, the design of storytelling is useless in this form of fighting dance. Because the performance is not coherent from beginning to end at all.

   "Fighting dance, the most important thing is action." Xiao Yao said, "Let's take you to a place, I hope I can give you some inspiration."

   "Now?" Paul and TJ looked at Xiao Yao together.

"Wait, I'll make a call first." Xiao Yao took out his mobile phone and dialed a number. After the call was connected, Xiao Yao asked: "Hi, Nathan, this is Yang. Are you old today? Is there an event somewhere?"

   "Okay, I'll come over in a while, um, I will bring some friends over." After that, Xiao Yao hung up the phone and said to Paul and TJ: "It's now."
