Chapter 1141: Ballet Repertoire
The moment she saw Huo Ming, Lina was also a little surprised by his figure, but there are many big fat foreigners, and Huo Ming is not the fattest one. She smiled and said to him, Hi, "I'm Lina, I rented the dance studio downstairs to dance...... and she explained why she was here.
"Oh, it turned out to be you. Huo Ming remembered that it seemed that Xue Yunfei had mentioned this matter to him. These days, he has devoted himself to the production of new songs, completely forgetting himself, indulging in it, ignoring all the disturbances from the outside world, including his feelings for Shen Mozhen. This time, he was very inspired, so he stayed up late every day to write and change the score, and slept during the day, which happened to overlap with Lina's biological clock.
Huo Ming's English is as fluent as that of a native American, and Lina communicates with him without any obstacles, "I hear you playing a piece of Chinese-style music on an electronic keyboard every day, I have never heard it, did you write it?"
"Yes, you still know Chinese style?" Huo Ming raised his eyebrows.
"You can't underestimate foreigners, I have a lot of Chinese friends, like Man and Mozhen," Lina said the names of Liu Yan and Shen Mozhen in a strange tone, amusing Huo Ming.
He let go of his huge body, "Come, come in and sit, let's talk about Chinese style." ”
Huo Ming's office was a mess, littered with handwritten scribbled sheet music, like scratch paper when working on math problems. Lina walked in, avoiding every piece of paper with a light step, and before sitting down on the sofa, she also sorted out the music score on the sofa, which was very cultivated.
Huo Ming noticed her caution and smiled, "Don't worry about them, they're all unwanted waste." ”
Lina held it in her hand and hummed the melody according to the notes, "They're all testimonies of your hard work, aren't they?"
Huo Ming looked at her with admiration, "It seems that you really understand Chinese style." ”
"Of course, I'm here for Jason's ......," Lina said halfway through, then stopped, the record was still on sale, and she couldn't casually reveal that she was Jason's backup dancer.
Xinchen Records has moved quickly, with the first 100,000 albums of That Princess from Han in China already released and sold out, and they plan to release a second batch in the near future. Xue Yunfei was in charge of this work, and Huo Ming didn't know much about it.
So he didn't recognize Lina - Xinchen Records has a full set of video files for mini performances, and their editors have edited the Chinese version of the MV according to China's national conditions, such as Liu Yan and Li Xiaoru, who have more shots than the American version. However, the close-up of Lina was still cut. Lina's rumors have subsided, but Xue Yunfei doesn't want to take risks, anyway, Lina is a foreigner, which has little impact on sales in Chinese mainland, and for the sake of insurance, she is still not allowed to appear.
Huo Ming heard Lina's words and stopped, didn't ask, and asked her again, "Do you like the music I wrote?"
Lina nodded again and again, "I like it so much, I have listened to it for a few days in a row, and every time I have a different feeling, your music is full of vivid colors, perfect Chinese style timbre and romantic emotions, which makes me feel that this must be a man immersed in love, a love letter to his beloved woman." ”
Lina's directness and sensitivity to music hit Huo Ming's heart, and he felt as if he had met a soulmate! He smiled and said, "Yes, I wrote this song for the girl I liked,...... "Unfortunately, she doesn't like me."
Huo Ming didn't want to talk about the negative things behind this piece in front of such a cute and cheerful girl, his idea was very simple, even if Shen Mozhen didn't like him, he wanted to dedicate this piece to her.
The two of them discussed the song from ten o'clock in the evening to eleven o'clock, if it wasn't for Shen Mozhen calling to ask Lina why she hadn't come back yet, Lina could continue to talk to Huo Ming. Huo Ming also felt amazing that he could talk to a foreigner about the topic of Chinese style for so long.
"What's the name of this piece?" asked Huo Ming before leaving.
"I haven't chosen a name yet, do you have a good idea?" Huo Ming was eager to hear Lina's opinion.
Lina tapped her chin with her finger and thought carefully, "Tossed by Wave, I don't know how to say it in Chinese, but it's the name I imagined." ”
Huo Ming lightly recited these three English words, and said in surprise, "It's just the name, "A Thousand Turns"!" He looked at Lina with a grateful face, "Thank you, talking to you has inspired me a lot." You practice dancing and need my help somewhere, even if you tell me I'm a partner here. ”
Lina was surprised by his identity, tilted her head and smiled, and said a little playfully, "After you give this song to that girl, can you lend it to me?"
Huo Ming was a little puzzled, not understanding what she meant.
She continued, "I want to use it as an accompaniment to my ballet competitions. ”
"This is a Chinese-style music ....." Huo Ming subconsciously shook his head, not that he was stingy and disagreed, but that Chinese-style ballet performances were too rare.
"I know, I've worked with Mozhen once before, let me think about the name of that piece, oh yes, it's called 'Fresh Breeze Drunk', and I'm dancing under its melody without any problems. ”
As soon as Lina reminded her, Huo Ming finally remembered that he had watched her performance, to be precise, he paid attention to every performance of Shen Mozhen. The problem is that the performance was of an entertainment nature, in order to promote and make a cameo appearance in "Youth Plan", and by the way, to celebrate Yu Zhan's birthday.
The Moscow Ballet Competition is a very serious competition, and he thinks that no professional ballet dancer will joke about such a major event that is related to his future and fate.
"Are you really sure you want to do this?"
"Yes, I have been dancing ballet for 12 years, I have long been tired of traditional repertoire and traditional dance patterns, I have always wanted to try new things, but you know that the 'academic school' is a very powerful force, if I don't do what they ask, I can't finish my studies at all, now that I have graduated, I can choose what I want to pursue independently, I want to do something new, combine Western ballet with Chinese music. Maybe the judges in Moscow still can't accept it, but I know very well that I can dance better with your music or Chinese-style music, and I can feel the significance of my choice of dance. ”
Don't look at Lina's lively and smiling life, as if she is grinning, she is more serious than anyone else, Huo Ming's words moved Huo Ming, he went to the United States to study Western pop music, and Lina came to China but fell in love with Chinese classical music, people's choices seem to be predestined in the dark......
"Here tomorrow night, can you show me your dance moves? This is not dance music, I have to rearrange it according to your dance steps. ”
Lina didn't expect him to agree so quickly, he gave her the song first, "But the girl you like will mind......"
Without waiting for her to finish, Huo Ming said, "She is Shen Mozhen." ”
