Zhou Jingyi's dance team has the number 9 in the stage, and it is slightly lower in the middle than a dozen teams. The eight teams in front of them www.biquge.info had good and bad performances, but overall they were still not very good. Five teams were eliminated on the spot, and in addition to the first, only the fourth and sixth teams were given pending qualification. Of the three teams to be determined, it was also the first team that performed the best comparatively.

What Xiao Yao and the judges didn't know was that the first team called "Gangster" was a well-known local hip-hop dance team in Los Angeles, and the local organizers in Los Angeles ranked them first, also to win a good start.

When the sixth team performed on stage, the eight zombies quietly got up and went to the bathroom to change into a set of zombie clothes that Xiao Yao re-made for them, and when they came out after changing their clothes, it happened that the seventh team was already performing on stage, so they did not return to the audience, but went directly to the back of the stage with their teammates to wait for the appearance.

When the seventh team finished performing and got off the stage with a depressed face, Xiao Yao, who didn't have to perform on stage, did not continue to sit in the audience, but quietly touched the control room on the second floor above the audience seat of the theater.

"Hello everyone, we are the "Riptide" hip-hop team from Calabasas. The name of our dance is "igotyou". After the team came to the stage, Zhou Jingyi stood at the front of the team and introduced the standing microphone.

"Wait," Piper Hugo, who looked down at the information in front of him, took off the glasses on the bridge of his nose and looked up at the people on the stage, "The information says that your team is fifteen people, why are there only two on the stage now... Four... Seven, seven people? Did half of your team quit temporarily?"

"No, we still have eight teammates waiting at the back of the stage, they're special and we're going to show up halfway through the dance. Zhou Jingyi explained with a smile.

“ok.” Piper Hugo nodded in relief, raised a hand and said, "Are you ready?"

As soon as these words came out, five more people on the stage suddenly ran away quickly, leaving only Zhou Jingyi and Paul to retreat to the center of the stage and put on a preparatory posture.

Piper was stunned, but waved his hand and shouted, "Music, up!"

A cheerful melody sounded through the loudspeakers of the live venue, and Zhou Jingyi and Paul also danced to the music.

The duo's performance in a pas de deux is very good, both the neatness of the same movements and the tacit understanding of the matching movements are commendable. Especially when the two of them fell back once, they didn't hesitate at all, and their partners caught each other just right. There are many very novel and interesting movements in the whole dance, the most special of which is a finger dance performed by Zhou Jingyi standing behind Paul with her hands out from under his armpits, which made the judges and the audience show surprised expressions.

Mary Jane and Santos Pérez both looked at each other with smiles on their faces, except for Piper Hugo, who frowned slightly and peeked at the watch he was wearing on his wrist.

Although this pas de deux performance is great, it is a team competition, not a pas de deux, and the dance between the two seems to be a bit long.

Just as Piper Hugo showed an impatient expression, the lingering pas de deux between the two finally ended. The style of music in the live sound speakers changed, and suddenly it changed from cheerful music to eerie.

At the same time as the music changed, the main lights on the ceiling of the theater were suddenly extinguished, and only a few dark blue lights in the cold color above the stage were still on.

Piper's first reaction to this sudden accident was that there was a problem with the lighting system in the theater, or that there was simply a power outage, but seeing that the lights were still on above the stage, and the dancers on the stage had no intention of stopping, Piper was patient and did not stop.

The rest of the judges and the audience were also panicked for a moment, but soon they understood what was going on, as eight "zombies" dressed in tattered and bloodstained clothes walked out of the side of the stage in a mechanical dance.

"Wow!" The lights above the stage just shone on the faces of the dancers on the stage, allowing the audience to see their "zombie" faces clearly, with the dim lighting environment and gloomy music on the scene, many people at the scene were startled by the "zombies" who appeared, and then they were deeply shocked.

Zhou Jingyi and Paul on the stage were also shocked when they saw the appearance of zombies. Immediately, the two held hands and disappeared from the other side of the stage in a beautiful kneeling posture from everyone's sight.

Now there are only eight "zombies" left on the stage. Accompanied by more than a minute of eerie music, the "zombies" also showed a very wonderful mechanical dance. There are not only group dances with the same and neat movements, but also the display of their respective specialties after the positions are scattered, so that the judges who turn their attention from the "zombie" style to their movements also nod frequently.

The second dance is basically the process of "zombies" appearing from one side of the stage and then slowly moving to the other side and disappearing. After they disappeared from the other side of the stage, Zhou Jingyi and Paul appeared on the stage with five other team members playing normal people. And after they came to the center of the stage, the "zombies" also reappeared on the stage from the side where they disappeared.

The background music suddenly became intense and high, and the normal people on the stage did not run away anymore, but chose to face the "zombies". A large number of hip-hop dance movements that combine various fighting elements are displayed on the stage, and this section is no longer uniformly identical, but a lively display of various difficult skills.

The combat effectiveness of normal people and "zombies" is naturally not proportional, seeing that normal people are about to be wiped out, TJ in the corner suddenly showed a surprised expression, and then the sound of a gun loading sounded in the background music. With TJ's very rhythmic empty-handed action of raising the gun and the sound of guns firing in the background music, the "zombies" who were still standing began to tremble and fall, and after the "zombies" all fell, finally TJ also fell on the stage.

All the lights in the theater were turned on, and just when the audience thought the dance was over, Zhou Jingyi, who was lying on the ground, straightened up with a modern dance movement, and then she supported the ground with both hands and stood up with one hand. When she saw Paul lying on the ground, Zhou Jingyi's face showed anxiety. But soon Paul also woke up, turned over and stood up in the mechanical dance movement, and after some entanglement, the two immediately hugged happily.

Suddenly, Paul's face changed greatly, and he pushed Zhou Jingyi away hard, and then looked at his left shoulder in surprise. The audience followed Paul's gaze and saw a large patch of blood on Paul's left shoulder and an obvious hole.

"Oh my God, he's been bitten!" exclaimed Mary Jane, who was already in the plot.

Zhou Jingyi, who was pushed away, also saw the wound on Paul's left shoulder, only to see her shake her head with tears in her eyes, and then ran to Paul without hesitation, and after three steps, she jumped up and pounced on Paul. A resolute look flashed in Paul's eyes, and he stretched out his right arm to hold Zhou Jingyi, who was still in the air, and then sent his right arm forward hard, throwing Zhou Jingyi back again.

Zhou Jingyi, who was in the air, still stretched out her hands to Paul, and her legs were still stepping alternately in the air, and finally landed three or four meters away from Paul. Then Paul swung his fist from his side, then grabbed his left hand with his right hand and slammed it into his chest.

"No!" Zhou Jingyi shouted, sliding to Paul's side. At the same time, three of the fallen "zombies" stood up to the sound of music.

Zhou Jingyi, who heard the movement, hugged Paul's upper body in front of him and did not get up, but turned her head to look at the three "zombies" who came over, and her eyes showed a terrifying resoluteness.

With the movements of the "zombies" towards Zhou Jingyi, the background music gradually lowered until it stopped, and the lights above the stage slowly went out.

"Great!" When the lights on the stage came back on and all the dancers stood on the stage, they were greeted by applause and cheers from the audience. The three judges even all stood up and applauded.

"Thank you!" When the staff put the standing microphone back on the stage, Zhou Jingyi stood in front of the microphone and bowed excitedly. Afterwards, all the team members also bowed and thanked the judges and the audience under the stage.

"Great," the three judges on the jury bench also sat down, this time without waiting for Piper Hugo to ask, Mary Jane wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "It's the first time I've seen hip-hop dancing and then cry." All I can say is, it's amazing, your dance is amazing, your team is amazing, I think I've become a fan of yours. ”

"Okay, Mary, calm down!" Santos Perez gently patted Mary Jane, who was getting more and more excited, comforted her, and then looked at the team on the stage and said, "Very good indeed." The movement standards in the whole dance are in place, and the difficulty is enough, which fully demonstrates your technical skills. The important thing is that the action and the plot are also very well matched, and it is very creative and difficult to express a whole story with hip-hop movements. I don't know how to do better at this dance. ”

In terms of the division of labor between the three judges, Marie Jane as a singer is responsible for the stage presence, professional choreographer Santos Pérez is responsible for the standard and difficulty of the professional technical movements, and Piper Hugo, the producer and the chief judge of the jury, is responsible for the other details and the overall situation.

"First of all, it's amazing. After the two judges finished their evaluation, Piper Hugo also smiled and praised it, but he did not rush to evaluate the players on the stage, but turned to look at the other hip-hop dance teams waiting in the audience behind him and said: "Children, have you seen this dance? Look at what they have done? The design of the plot and movements, the costumes, the makeup, the styling, the soundtrack, what can we see from it? attitude! This is what I want to see from you. This, as we often say, attitude is everything!" )
