"Xiao Xu is here?" Tu Zisu turned his head and beckoned Xu Chunqiu and said, "It just so happens that you know each other, this is Xiao Zheng, Teacher Zheng." ”

He pointed to an actress beside him with a slender neck and a figure similar to hers.

The actress greeted her politely, and Xu Chunqiu guessed in her heart that she was probably the stuntman Tu Zisu expected to complete this dance clip for her.

"You can dance it again in a while, and try to catch the close-up shots on your body as much as possible, and let the stand-in if you pull the long shot, no problem, right?"

Tu Zisu arranged her clearly, Xu Chunqiu guessed that his judgment should have been influenced by the video on the Internet, he thought that Xu Chunqiu's whip was trembling and not yet hot.

She just nodded, didn't argue too much, and turned to the dressing room to change her costume and pointe shoes.

......

When Lu Xiu drove to the crew of "Confined to Day and Night", filming was underway.

The scene is improvised, with a hazy stage light on a high stage and an upholstered auditorium underneath. Because the background of this scene is abroad, the crew invited a lot of blonde and blue-eyed extras.

Everyone stared with bated breath and tiptoed to the stage, but for a while no staff member came up to greet them.

Fortunately, Lu Xiu often comes to the crew, and he is more or less familiar, and he can be regarded as a supernumerary member of the crew if rounded.

The Cabaret Theater was packed, and the extras dutifully whispered each other.

"What's going on tonight, Swan Lake?"

"Today is the first performance of Swan Lake by the new concertmaster of the ballet company, and I heard that the new principal is only 16 years old this year, which is very young. ”

"Not only is she young, but she is also Chinese, and it is not easy for a Chinese-American actor to become a principal dancer in a ballet company in San Francisco, not to mention that she is still so ......young."

"Shh

“......”

The chatter quieted down, and Mr. Steadicam's machine pulled onto the stage from far and near, Lu Xiu's gaze followed, and then he breathed a sigh.

The lights on the stage were dim, and a dim little light illuminated the shadow of a person.

The violin's voice was soft and gentle, and the girls on the stage walked out with light gauze skirts, slender and staggering.

Her chin is slightly raised, her shoulders are sinking, her neck and arms are very slender, the muscles of her legs are tense into beautiful lines, and her light posture seems to have really become a swan.

The "White Swan Variations" selected by Tu Zisu is selected from the second act of the ballet "Swan Lake", and the whole movement only takes a few tens of seconds, but just a few tens of seconds are enough to show too many things.

Leg control and leg sucking, soft opening and balance, a series of whip spins are stable and accurate, flowing movements, and easy posture, she seems to have abandoned her identity as an actress and truly become a talented ballet dancer.

Don't say it's Tu Zisu, it's just that the stuntmen are already stupid when they stand aside.

She was originally wrenching her legs, and was warming up for a short time to perform on stage, but who knew that the music was together, Xu Chunqiu stepped on satin pointe shoes and stood on the stage, and all the warm-up and wrenches made her forget about it.

The stuntman had no thoughts in her mind, she knew that Xu Chunqiu had some foundation, and she had been learning to dance with Tan Chuyin, who is quite famous in the industry, these days, she didn't know that Xu Chunqiu could be an actress to such an extent.

The actor himself has already done this, what else do you have to do with a stand-in?

Tu Zisu was even more surprised when he saw it, he was a complete layman in dance, but the layman also had the most basic aesthetic and appreciative abilities, not to mention that he was also a director engaged in literary and artistic work.

The swan on the stage appeared and disappeared in the mist of dry ice, her body was almost incredibly soft, and the movements of her toes were gentle and delicate, and since the continuous whip spin of the climactic passage began, Tu Zisu's eyes seemed to be glued to her body, as if even a blink of an eye felt very luxurious, for fear of missing something.

The power leg is clean, the support leg is stable and powerful, the rotation is accurate and smooth again and again, and the idea of stepping on the music sets off the atmosphere of this dance even more, and she is almost like the two people in the practice room video circulating on the Internet.

Okay now, with Xu Chunqiu present, what more stuntmen do you need?

The extras in the audience applauded thunderously, and the ballerina on the stage wore pointe shoes and bowed her head like a swan.

"Click!"

The excitement on Tu Zisu's face was overflowing, and the assistant director seemed to be speechless, and he couldn't think of a suitable word to describe it for a while. The crew and staff were already boiling, and they were chattering and talking, as excited as if they had just witnessed some amazing picture.

"Oh my God, my God, is Xu Chunqiu really an actor? This is a dancer who was delayed by the movie, right?"

"I really hate that we signed a confidentiality agreement, otherwise I really want to record Xu Chunqiu's dance just now and post it on the Internet, and slap the faces of the keyboard warriors who stood and talked without backache before!"

"Although I don't know much about dancing, but the part just now is really beautiful, and if you really see it, you can earn it, if you don't say who would have thought that the person who just stood on the stage and danced was not a ballet dancer at all, but a well-known female star?"

"I think the section just now is probably not too bad even if it is placed in the professional field, you look at the eyes of the stuntman, Xu Chunqiu's eyes lit up as soon as she danced. ”

"I kind of understand why Tan Chuyin, a nosy person, has to wade into this troubled water to support her. ”

"This is a genius, Xu Chunqiu is Xu Chunqiu......"

“......”

Everyone was talking about Xu Chunqiu's dance, and no one was not amazed, only Lu Xiu's heart was like turning over the river and the sea.

All he saw was her excellent soft opening, steady spin, easy posture and light jumping toes, but all he could see was the small, dimly lit basement, the creaking hardboard bed lingering in front of his eyes, and Xu Chunqiu's deformed, bloody toes in the practice room, after removing her ballet shoes and pointe covers layer by layer.

They only saw her glamorous side, and piled all the beautiful words on her.

How many people still remember how much effort she put into the places they couldn't see for this short few tens of seconds.
