Chapter 68: More than just choreography
Two days later, Xiao Yao and the whole band came to the rehearsal place of the hip-hop team. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info But unlike last time, this time it's no longer five people crammed into one car. In addition to the second-hand car that Sarmeon drove hers, Mike also drove his pickup truck over at home.
They drove two cars, naturally not because they thought that a car for five people was too crowded, but when Xiao Yao came over this time, they also brought a lot of things, and they needed to borrow the pickup truck from Mike's house to transport it.
"Guys, come and help move something. After Xiao Yao entered the rehearsal room made of the abandoned factory, he greeted the dance players who had arrived.
"Moving things?" Paul, TJ, and Zhou Jingyi greeted Xiao Yao and said, "What did you bring here?"
"Just come out and see. Xiao Yao beckoned to the three of them. As he spoke, he turned around and walked out of the rehearsal room door.
When the three of them followed, they saw a small pickup truck parked at the door, with a lot of things piled up on it. The boys from the three bands who came with Xiao Yao last time had already begun to unload in the back compartment.
The largest and most eye-catching thing on the carriage is a dozen or so blue cushions two meters long and more than one meter wide. This kind of thing is spread on the ground during training in many gymnasiums, and it is a very common thing, so everyone can see it at a glance.
"Upholstery? is this what you're thinking of?" Zhou Jingyi and Paul immediately thought of the purpose of this upholstery and looked at Xiao Yao.
"So, you still don't want to change that move and use this to reduce the chance of Kim getting injured?" Paul looked at Xiao Yao.
"Yes, Kim doesn't want to give up that action, and neither do I. That's the only way I can think of. Xiao Yao nodded and said, "I can only provide you with some protective and safe facilities as much as possible, and the rest is up to the two of you to practice on your own." ”
"Well, with this, I can be a little more daring when I practice. Paul agreed.
"Where did you get these? I think we use this for somersaults and jumps, so let's rent more and fill the rehearsal room. TJ looked at the cushions.
"No, I bought it. Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "The stock of this kind of mat in that store is already here, that's all." And I don't think it's a good idea to cover the floor of the rehearsal room. Except for the leaping movement, other conventional movements, especially some floor movements, are not suitable for practicing on this, and I think these are enough, so I only looted the inventory of that store. ”
"Bought it?" Paul was slightly surprised, then said, "Well, how much? ”
"No, it's just a welcome gift for everyone when I enter the team. Xiao Yao shook his head and refused, "Anyway, these are old goods, I found them in the thrift store, and they are not worth much." ”
"Yes, it's really not worth much, it's just for these things, we and Yang drove the car for a whole day. Dean suddenly interjected.
"Thanks, man. Hearing Dean's words, Paul and TJ naturally understood what he was trying to say. In this regard, they could only step forward and give Xiao Yao a big hug.
Zhou Jingyi didn't give Xiao Yao a hug like Paul and TJ, but just glanced at Xiao Yao meaningfully.
"What are these?" After hugging Xiao Yao, TJ noticed that in addition to the soft cushions on the car, there was a plastic bucket with a lid and a large black tool kit on the ground next to the car.
"This is the fun part," Xiao Yao smiled, "You'll find out later." Now, let's get someone to help move everything in. ”
As he spoke, Xiao Yao held a plastic bucket in one hand and a toolkit in the other, and walked towards the rehearsal room first.
The dance team and the Immortals band, there were more than a dozen boys in total, and everyone worked together to quickly remove the cushions from the car and move into the rehearsal room.
"Guys!" When everyone was done, Xiao Yao clapped his hands and summoned everyone, "Let's start practicing together today." I hope you have practiced your movements in the past two days and memorized the order. ”
"No problem, we're ready. The hip-hop dancers said confidently.
"Okay," Xiao Yao nodded, "However, I still have some work to do before I start practicing." ”
"Rick, did you bring clothes?" Xiao Yao said as he looked at the dancers who were playing zombies.
"Brought. Rick nodded, "But, Jan, you haven't told us where our zombies are looking, you said you'd surprise us today." ”
"The surprise is here. Xiao Yao uncovered the plastic bucket that was brought in.
"What is it?" everyone curiously leaned over to look at it. I saw that the white plastic bucket was filled with more than half a bucket of red slightly viscous liquid, which looked very like... Blood.
"Don't tell me it's—" Rick subconsciously covered his mouth and nose, though he didn't smell blood.
"Blood!" Xiao Yao nodded and smiled.
"What?!" everyone subconsciously took a step back and looked at Xiao Yao in dismay.
"Human blood or animal blood?" TJ asked, pretending to be bold.
"Neither. It's prop blood, I made it, and it looks great. Xiao Yao smiled, stretched out his right index finger and dipped it a little, then put his finger into his mouth and tasted it, smashed it twice and said, "It tastes good." ”
"Really?" TJ walked over and followed Xiao Yao's example, and stretched out his finger to dip it in it, then put it in his mouth and tasted it.
"Phew!" TJ immediately snorted, frowned and looked at Xiao Yao and said, "It's not the taste of blood, it's a little bit of ketchup, but it's more astringent and bitter, what's the taste?"
"Hahahaha!" Several of the band members next to him burst out laughing, and even Sarmien curled the corners of his mouth.
"What's the situation?" TJ looked at the laughing men in confusion.
"This is artificial blood made by Young, and of course it doesn't taste good. Just now, Yang reached out to dip his blood in the blood with his index finger, and put it into his mouth with his middle finger, and he didn't taste it at all. Dean explained.
"How do you know?" TJ looked at Dean, "You see? You're standing farther away than I am." ”
"Uh," the smile on Dean's face froze and he said embarrassedly, "because I was deceived by him before, and he told me." ”
"Poof~" This time, not only the band members, but also the dancers laughed.
"So, this is what you surprised us, and you want to stain our clothes with all this blood you made to make us look like zombies?" Rick also recognized Xiao Yao's intentions at this time.
"Yes, but not all. Xiao Yao said, and began to pull things out of the toolkit.
"In addition to staining blood, I also had to make my clothes tattered. Xiao Yao took out the scissors.
"There are also signs of worn, making wear. Xiao Yao took out the sandpaper again.
"There will also be traces of smoke and fire. Xiao Yao took out a lighter, a small can of gasoline, and a blackened wooden stick.
"I hope you didn't bring clothes that were too expensive or too much to like. Xiao Yao looked up and smiled.
"What? no!" the eight let out a wail.
"Wait, I'm not done yet. Xiao Yao shouted to the eight wailing guys.
Seeing them stop and look at him, Xiao Yao finally took out a makeup case from his toolkit and said, "In addition to clothes, I also have to put makeup on you." ”
"Can I choose not to have this surprise now?" Rick said with a bitter face.
"You can choose whether you take off your clothes and leave them to me to deal with, or you will wear your clothes and let me pour these artificial blood on you. Xiao Yao replied with a smile.
"You're ruthless!" Rick glanced at Xiao Yao, turned around and threw the clothes he brought in front of Xiao Yao. Anyway, it is going to be "ravaged" by Xiao Yao, and there is no need to hand it over so carefully and carefully.
With Rick taking the lead, the other seven guys also threw the clothes they brought in front of Xiao Yao.
"Okay, you can go and practice freely for a while, and when I deal with the image of the zombies, and everyone has seen the effect, we will practice together. Xiao Yao smiled and commanded everyone. Pick up a piece of clothing in front of you and start tinkering.
Although everyone listened to Xiao Yao's words and dispersed, there were basically few people who still had the heart to concentrate on practicing, and they were all curious and secretly observing Xiao Yao to see how he processed those clothes.
After about half an hour, Xiao Yao finished disposing of all the clothes of the eight people on hand, and stopped the eight people who were practicing absent-mindedly.
"Done?" Seeing Xiao Yao finish the work at hand, not only the eight people who played the zombies, but the other team members also came over curiously, wanting to see Xiao Yao's "work results".
"There is still one last step left, it is dirty!" Xiao Yao looked up and said.
Pointing to a pile of clothes on the ground, Xiao Yao smiled very happily, "You spread out these clothes in a while, and then step on them a few times." If you have a personal grudge against any of them, you can take the opportunity to vent and step on a few more feet. But be careful, you can only step on it, don't grind it on the ground, and don't tear your clothes so that you can't wear them. ”
"OK, no problem. As soon as the other team members heard this, they immediately began to gear up and look eager to try.
"Hey, Jan!" exclaimed Rick.
"Don't go to join in the fun, your own clothes, it will hurt you to step on it. I'm going to put on your makeup now. Xiao Yao interrupted Rick, a serious way.
"Kim, Sam, can you two help? I'll show you how to turn them into zombies. Xiao Yao looked at the two girls and said.
"No problem!" Zhou Jingyi replied immediately.
Sameen was still a little hesitant, but when he saw that Zhou Jingyi agreed so simply, he also nodded.
"We can help too. The three Dean next to him also said. They also want to learn how to make zombie makeup for next year's Halloween.
"No!" Rick immediately refused, "Jan and the girls are fine, I don't want you boys to mess around on my face." As soon as Rick said, several other team members chimed in.
"Sorry, I only brought three sets of makeup tools. Xiao Yao also shrugged his shoulders and said.
So, while the other team members were in high spirits and stepping on their clothes, Xiao Yao and the two girls began to put on makeup for several team members. Xiao Yao explained to the two girls how to put on this kind of zombie makeup while demonstrating, and stopped from time to time to do some small repairs and guidance to the girls next to him.
The two girls are not as skilled as Xiao Yao, but after all, there are three people working at the same time, which has improved the efficiency a lot.
"Okay, everybody turn your backs now. Xiao Yao, who had finished his work, said to the rest of the dance team, "Wait to see our zombies make a stunning appearance." As he spoke, he picked up the pile of clothes that had already been trampled on the ground and sent them to several team members who had put on makeup.
Several team members each found their own clothes that had already been unrecognizable and changed them, and after looking at each other, they unconsciously showed very surprised eyes.
"Everyone, it's time to perform!" Xiao Yao announced loudly when he saw the "zombies" change their clothes.
The other team members turned around in unison, and Xiao Yao turned on the stereo in the rehearsal room and jumped directly to the soundtrack of the second section to play.
Following the sound of the music, the eight "zombies" naturally made the "zombie dance" movements in the second dance. Watching the eight very realistic "zombies" dancing to the eerie background music and dancing towards them together, this shape, with music and the momentum of the eight people acting together, the other team members suddenly felt their scalps tingle.
"Oh my God, that's cool!" exclaimed several of the team members unconsciously.
"Rick even told me that their zombies in the second section are not interesting?" TJ shook his head and sighed, "Just this appearance is going to kill the audience." ”
"This guy is much more than just a choreographer. Paul also sighed. (To be continued.) )
