Xiao Yao's opening pas de deux for Zhou Jingyi and Paul was born from the two dances "Makeitwork" and "Igotyou" in the American version of "Dancing in the World" in the previous life. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

For both of them, none of these moves were very difficult. Among them, the more conventional actions that two people do at the same time need to be neat, and the actions made by the two people must be consistent. When practicing with music, it is not difficult to find the rhythm of the music and your movements.

One of the two unconventional hip-hop moves is that Zhou Jingyi leans close to Paul and falls back from the knee position, and Paul needs to reach out to the back of Zhou Jingyi's neck to catch her when her upper body is parallel to the ground. In the other place, Paul knelt away from Zhou Jingyi and got up and fell backwards, Zhou Jingyi also needed to rush behind Paul before he fell to the ground, and reached out to catch him at the back of his head. In order to do this kind of action that requires the support of the other party to look good, you must have enough confidence and trust in each other, believing that the other party can catch you before you fall, which requires the tacit understanding and proficiency of the two people to practice cooperation.

In addition, Zhou Jingyi also has to learn a finger dance from Xiao Yao. Originally, there was a scene in "Igotyou" where a female dancer stood behind a male dancer, with two hands pierced from under the male dancer's armpits, and the fingers of the two hands were used to guide the male dancer's expression. But in this version that Xiao Yao is making up now, the hero and heroine are not sad, so naturally they don't need their fingers to guide their expressions. But Xiao Yao thought this action was very interesting, so he simply asked the heroine to stand behind the male protagonist and put out her hands to do a finger dance.

After watching Xiao Yao's explanation, guidance and demonstration of the opening pas de deux of the two, the team members already began to admire Xiao Yao from the bottom of their hearts. It doesn't seem to be a complicated or difficult action, but under Xiao Yao's choreography and whimsical ideas, they suddenly have a refreshing feeling, and they secretly sigh that hip-hop can still be choreographed like this. It doesn't have to be a powerful and very intense scene, this kind of little freshness between lovers can also be expressed in hip-hop.

After instructing Zhou Jingyi and Paul in the opening pas de deux of the first part, Xiao Yao asked them to practice alone first, and he walked in front of the rest of the group dancers.

Xiao Yao did not directly start to explain the movements of the group dance, but asked everyone to introduce themselves first: "When I came last time, Jin had already introduced me, and everyone knew that my name was Yang." But at that time, all I knew was the names of TJ and Paul. So apart from TJ, I want you to introduce yourself first, I don't want to call you "man" later in the rehearsal, I'm afraid you can't tell who I'm talking about. ”

"How come?" Zhou Jingyi and Paul practiced their pas de deux alone, and the rest of the group was led by a young black DJ. He said with some doubts: "Just now you ordered eight people in one go, which is the eight best popin dances in our place." I guess Jin has already introduced the whole team of our team to you privately in the past few days, otherwise how could you pick people so accurately. Didn't she tell you the names of our team members when she told you about them?"

"Jin introduced me to the team members, how can Jin introduce me when you are not there?" Xiao Yao also said a little strangely.

"Because Kim is in charge of our team's registration for the National Street Dance Competition, all of our members have a resume with her, doesn't she introduce us to the photo on the resume?" TJ said.

"Oh, so that's the case," Xiao Yao suddenly shook his head and said, "No, I've been busy with choreography and soundtracks for the past few days, and I haven't been to work in the supermarket, and I've never seen Jin at all." The last time I saw Kim, it was still here. ”

"And how do you know that the eight of us on our team are the best at popin?" TJ wondered.

"I saw it last time I came to see your rehearsal. Xiao Yao said. "I don't know their names, but I remember the characteristics of each of them. ”

"You remembered all of us after watching it for half an hour last time?" TJ said in disbelief.

"I have a good memory, and that's one of my talents. Xiao Yao smiled.

"Well," the black youth looked defeated, "I don't know what kind of guy King brought us." ”

"What do you mean?" Xiao Yao was stunned.

"Nothing," said the young black man, shaking his head, "in that case, let's start with me, my name is Terrence Jackson, and everyone calls me TJ, or if you like this simple initial, you can call me Terry." ”

"No problem, I'll just call you TJ like everyone else, I like it. Xiao Yao smiled.

After TJ took the lead, the rest of the team members also stepped forward one by one and briefly introduced their names to Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao knew and remembered the names of these dozen people, and it was much more convenient to call them when explaining the actions later.

Zhou Jingyi and Paul are the core of the whole dance, and Xiao Yao also put the most thought into the dance moves of the two.

The movements designed by Xiao Yao in the group dance part are basically the movements they would have originally had, and many of the difficult movements of a single person were originally the most proud skills of that person, which can be regarded as tailor-made for them. Basically, they don't need to learn new moves, and the main task is to practice the rhythm of the music and maintain the consistency and integrity of the team's overall performance.

The third part of the battle between zombies and normal people is more intense, and several people's special skills are also arranged to be shown separately in this part. But most of these bright and unique skills are those players who play normal people, and in comparison, those players who dance popin don't feel so outstanding.

After Xiao Yao explained all the movements of the group dance in the second and third parts, some popin dancers approached Xiao Yao and raised this point.

"Even though I just watched some separate individual moves, I thought the dance was good enough. But I also have a question," a thin boy named Rick said to Xiao Yao, "I feel that the second part is too ordinary compared to the first part and the third part." ”

"If you look at the action alone, that's true. Xiao Yao smiled and nodded, "But the brilliance of the second part is not the action, or in other words, if you just look at the action, you can't see the focus of the second part, and the highlight of the second part needs some other things to cooperate." ”

"Anything else?" Rick immediately asked, "What is it?"

"Keep it a secret for the time being, and we'll reveal it at the next rehearsal. I'll bring it then, and you'll see. Xiao Yao sold a pass.

"Hey, why are you still keeping it secret. Jan, you can't do that!" Rick exclaimed.

"Why?" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "Paul said, you all listen to me as a choreographer, so I can do that." ”

"You—" Rick glared at Xiao Yao, not knowing what to say to the rogue choreographer.

"Okay," Xiao Yao patted Rick on the shoulder and comforted, "I know you are the leader of this group of zombies, you just need to practice your movements well, don't worry about being brilliant, I will surprise you when the time comes." ”

After speaking, Xiao Yao left him, found Zhou Jingyi and Paul again, and began to explain to them the movements of the fourth part of the dance.

"The emotional conflict in this part is very intense, with a lot of intimate movements," Xiao Yao first introduced the two of them, "I hope the two of you are not too shy and twisted." ”

As soon as Xiao Yao said this, Zhou Jingyi immediately became a little embarrassed. Paul was intrigued and asked, "How intimate?"

"In addition to some lifting movements that will have very intimate physical contact, there are also separate kissing movements!" Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"What!" Zhou Jingyi and Paul both shouted at the same time.

The two of them screamed in unison very loudly, and even the other team members who were practicing group dance moves on the side were also alarmed and came over curiously.

"What's wrong?" TJ asked, "What's the problem?"

"Jan said that there is a kissing movement in our dance. Paul said to TJ, not knowing what expression to put on his face.

"What?" TJ also exclaimed, then looked at Xiao Yao and said, "Yang, I thought Jin was your girlfriend, but I didn't expect the dance you choreographed to make her kiss others in public, you are so generous!"

"What?" Xiao Yao was surprised this time. "Kim and I are just good friends, she's not my girlfriend. ”

"So you choreographed her dancing with people kissing in public?" TJ continued.

"No, it's a plot requirement, and it has nothing to do with whether she's my girlfriend or not. Xiao Yao hurriedly explained.

"Can you remove the kissing action?" Zhou Jingyi looked at Xiao Yao and suddenly spoke.

"Ahh Xiao Yao shook his head. Seeing that Zhou Jingyi's face had changed slightly, Xiao Yao hurriedly said: "But I know some borrowing techniques that can make the audience look like you are kissing, but in fact, your lips are not touching at all." This technique doesn't seem to be used much in the United States, but it is often used in Chinese films and television, especially in dramas, I know several methods, if you need it, I can teach you. ”

"Absolutely. Zhou Jingyi immediately nodded.

"I thought it would be a good thing that our choreographers knew a lot," Paul said with a wry smile to the TJ beside him, "but I hate Jan now for knowing so much." ”

"Paul!" Zhou Jingyi glared at Paul dissatisfied.

"Just kidding!" Paul quickly explained, throwing up his hands.

"I'm very interested in the borrowing technique that Jan said, since Jan said that he wants to teach you, it is better to teach it now, and we will see what this technique looks like. TJ began, not sure if he was genuinely interested or to ease Paul's embarrassment.

"Okay," Xiao Yao nodded, "Anyway, sooner or later, it always has to be taught." You, including Paul, all stand at my right hand. ”

The dance team members immediately stood to the side obediently and looked at Xiao Yao and Zhou Jingyi with interest.

Xiao Yao stood still in front of Zhou Jingyi. Seeing Zhou Jingyi's somewhat nervous look, Xiao Yao smiled, and then stepped forward very domineeringly and hugged Zhou Jingyi's left shoulder steadily, the faces of the two quickly got close, and when the distance between the two was only a few centimeters, Xiao Yao hugged Zhou Jingyi and quickly leaned forward, cleverly blocking the sight of all the dancers on the side.

"Wow!" In the position of the dance team members, the two clearly kissed together, although Xiao Yao said it was fake, they still couldn't help but make noise.

"Jan, what is he doing?" exclaimed Dean, who was far away. (To be continued.) )
