Just when Lina was in a state of turmoil, the elder said, "This year there was a relatively rare situation, there were two first prize winners, both of whom scored 97.7 points, and the other first prize winner was Lina Atkinson. ”

Lina clasped her hands to her chest, ecstatic and excited, she felt like she was on a roller coaster.

"Congratulations, Lina," the elder hugged her, as did the girl who tied for first prize with her, followed by Zhao Wenting and several other judges.

Contestants who did not win the prize, if they are not Russians, can leave Moscow today, and if they stay, they can continue to participate in the final award ceremony of the competition.

Often, though, no one stays.

Lina can't wait to tell her relatives and friends the good news, Liu Yan and they are all waiting for her at the gate of the Grand Theater!

She was about to go out from the exit of the backstage, and Zhao Wenting caught up with her from behind, "Lina, wait a minute." ”

Lina immediately stood still, "Hello, Ms. Zhao. ”

She looked at the score sheet, Zhao Wenting was the one who gave her the highest score among all the judges, she gave her a full score, and Lina was very grateful to her.

"I have something to discuss with you, let's find a quiet place to talk. ”

There were people coming and going in the background, and the two of them walked to a vacant room, and Zhao Wenting closed the door.

Seeing her look so solemn, Lina was a little apprehensive.

But with a smile on her face all the time, Zhao asked Lina, "How did you come up with the idea of incorporating Chinese elements into the ballet?"

"Since I came to China, I've made a lot of friends who have taught me about Chinese culture, Chinese art, and I really like things related to China, such as hanfu, guzheng and guqin, and calligraphy. I also learned some Chinese dance techniques from the dance teacher of the Chinese film crew. Actually, I've already tried ballet in Hanfu in China, and I'm ...... in the United States," Lina paused for a moment, knowing that she was speechless, "This competition is also an attempt. ”

"Just trying?"

"Yes, because I haven't seen any other dancer do that. ”

"I am Chinese, I have lived in Moscow for more than thirty years, but I don't have the courage of you to dance in a Chinese way on this stage. Zhao Wenting's eyes showed a trace of emotion and shame, she has spent most of her life learning and imitating Western dance habits, catering to the aesthetics of Westerners, but this foreign girl, but the opposite, after watching "A Thousand Times" in the audience, the pride of being a Chinese emerged in her heart.

The last time she felt this way was when she was 19 years old, standing on the podium of the Moscow Ballet.

As a Chinese, she prefers Lina's performance; as a judge, she knows that Lina can win the first place alone, and several judges deliberately give Lina points to make her tied with another girl.

She's not right, but there's nothing she can do, this is Russia, and she and Lina are outsiders. The Russians were able to make Lina the first place, and it was already for the sake of friendly relations between China and Russia.

If Lina were an American...... Then it will be difficult for her to enter the top three.

Zhao Wenting not only favored Lina in terms of scores, she said, "Would you like to perform another Chinese-style solo dance at the awards ceremony?"

"Can I?" asked Lina, stunned.

Zhao Wenting smiled, "You are the first prize in women's solo dance, why can't you?"

But she didn't prepare a second dance!

With only three days left until the awards ceremony, how could she possibly be ready for a new dance in such a short time?

Zhao Wenting also considered this problem, "You choose one from the dances you usually practice, and the previous contestants did this. Of course, if you think it's too late, we'll find someone else. ”

"It's time, it's time," Lina said quickly, many of the world's ballet masters will be present at the awards ceremony, and the awards ceremony will also be broadcast live to the world, how can she give up such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to show her face?

Zhao Wenting nodded with satisfaction, and rested her hand lightly on her shoulder, "I hope to see your better performance and let me have a bigger surprise." ”

Not every "first place" will be able to dance at the award ceremony, usually only one person or team will be chosen, because the other performances at the award ceremony will be performed by successful dancers from all over the world.

Zhao Wenting used all her face in the Russian ballet world to win this opportunity for Lina. In addition to the performance, Zhao Wenting also told Lina that the process of receiving the award, for example, she will also have a part of giving an acceptance speech, and Zhao Wenting asked Lina to prepare her speech well and do a good job of formalism.

Everyone was happy with the good news that Lina won the first prize and were ready to celebrate together, and Lina told them about the performance of the award ceremony.

"I can't celebrate for the time being, I have to prepare a second dance, Mo Zhen, please continue to help with the accompaniment, little sister, you can't go back to New York, please stay and continue to help me make up." ”

"God, we only have three days for such a major performance occasion, what should I prepare?" Shen Mozhen was a little confused.

"'Fresh Breeze', we've collaborated on this piece before. ”

"This piece is too classical and not suitable for ballet, when we performed, your dance and melody were discordant, and the layman couldn't see it, but at the award ceremony, it was all jury-level bigwigs, and I was afraid that it would be self-defeating to choose it. ”

Shen Mozhen's worries, of course, Lina also thought of it. In fact, ballet and pure ancient Chinese music do not go well, and there is a sense of dissonance, and "A Thousand Turns" is perfect because Huo Ming's arrangement adds Western music elements, and re-modifies the elements of ballet music, so as to smooth out the sense of disobedience and cater to the preferences of Western judges.

"Drunk in the Breeze" does not meet the taste of Westerners, Shen Mozhen used to perform in Europe with the National Folk Orchestra, and he learned this, and if he really danced "Drunk Breeze", it is likely that the reputation that Lina finally got on the field will be pulled to zero.

Lina frowned, "I can't help it. Ms. Zhao's meaning was clear, she just asked me to continue to show Chinese elements of dance, and I couldn't choose the orthodox ballet that I had danced before. Otherwise, the end result will be disappointing for them. ”

It's really tricky,

Several people fell silent, and Liu Yan suddenly said, "Don't you have a ballet in That PrinV? You can dance it, just use the original accompaniment tape." ”

"That Prin Han" is written in the Chinese style by Jason, and Westerners absolutely love it, as you can see from the sales so far.

Lina hesitated, "Then I still have to ask Jason's permission," for "That PrinV's experience, it was a thorn in her heart, and her glamorous Internet celebrity career has become a black on the Internet since then, and so far, there is still no footage of her in all versions of the record of "That Prin Han".
