Chapter 65: I Found a Treasure
Seeing that everyone nodded, Xiao Yao continued: "I know that you are worried that the specific plot will affect your good performance in the choreography. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoActually, you don't have to worry about this, I've taken it into account. ā
"Do you know which of us is good at what moves?" many people looked at Xiao Yao and muttered in their hearts, but they couldn't help but say it.
"First of all, there are only two people at the beginning of this dance," Xiao Yao pointed at Zhou Jingyi and said, "Jin, you are the heroine." Then he looked at Paul and said, "You're Paul, right?" Seeing Paul nodding, Xiao Yao continued: "You are the male protagonist." The opening stage is mainly your pas de deux, mainly locking, showing the identities of the two of you as lovers, so the music in this section is also more cheerful. ā
"And then you, you, you..." Xiao Yao nodded eight people in one breath, and then continued: "I know that a few of you are good at popin, and a few of you are responsible for playing zombies, and the second section is mainly a popin group dance of your group of zombies, so the music in the second section will be a little gloomy." ā
"The rest of the people are naturally normal human beings, this part of the dance is more intense, you are the main body, and it is also the time when you show your talents, and the tricks on your body are also performed at this time. What kind of somersaults, all kinds of floor movements, you can take out the housekeeping skills, of course, I also designed some additional actions for you, I hope you can do it. Xiao Yao looked at the rest of the hip-hop dancers.
"In the end," Xiao Yao's eyes returned to Zhou Jingyi and Paul, "it's the scene of your two protagonists again." Although you have never learned modern dance, your movements are very simple, basically just a few lifting movements, you only need to have enough strength to lift Jin Tuo, and there is no difficulty in technique. ā
"What the hell, we are hip-hop dancers, we are participating in hip-hop dance competitions, why are there modern dance moves?" said Zhou Jingyi a little strangely this time.
"Why not?" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "It's just a few movements added, and it won't change the overall style of this hip-hop dance." The hip-hop part of this dance is more than 80 percent, and the modern dance moves are less than 20 percent, so no one can say that this dance is not hip-hop. ā
"But isn't it strange to mix hip-hop and modern dance moves? Anyway, I haven't seen it, and I haven't imagined what the effect of mixing these two dance moves together. Zhou Jingyi was still a little worried. Paul, TJ and other dancers nodded in agreement.
"Want to see the effect? As he spoke, Xiao Yao took out his mobile phone from his pocket, opened a video and handed it to Zhou Jingyi, "This is a dance that was popular in China for a while two years ago. The combination of hip-hop dance, modern dance, and ballet, of which hip-hop and preppy style are almost half, you can see the overall effect of this dance. ā
After Zhou Jingyi took the phone, the other members of the dance team also curiously gathered behind Zhou Jingyi to watch together.
What Xiao Yao showed Zhou Jingyi was naturally the dance video of "Boutit" he designed for the Dawn Dance Troupe. After the rehearsal was completed, Xiao Yao also saved a video of their dance in his mobile phone.
The electronic sound of drums and keyboards began, and then the majestic violin sound added, and everyone felt a tingling of their scalps, and everyone felt shocked just by listening to this soundtrack.
In the video, the whole dance team is clearly divided into two parts, the boys' team is basically street dance, and the girls' team is responsible for ballet and modern dance. The two teams performed separately and danced together in groups, and there was no shortage of them dancing each other's dances. Of course, when dancing the other dance, the difficulty of the movements will naturally be lower.
Two teams, two types of dance mixed together, but there was not the slightest sense of disobedience. Whether it is those muscular boys dancing the national standard, or the slender girls dancing the energetic hip-hop dance, while the audience finds it interesting when watching, they will not jump out of the feeling process of this dance in an instant, that is, it will not be called "play".
"This dance is incredible. ā
"I didn't expect to be able to dance like this. ā
"Who made up this dance?"
"I don't have to say anything about the soundtrack alone, it's both exciting and atmospheric. ā
The members of the dance team in front of Xiao Yao may not say too much theoretical things, but since they are all dancing, their perception of dance is also beyond that of ordinary people, and it is naturally easy to judge whether a dance is excellent.
"So, do you think there is no problem with this hybrid dance form?" Xiao Yao looked at the amazed crowd, "There is no type restriction on this dance in the video, so it can be done with street dance and college style dance in half, we are participating in the street dance competition this time, the dance as a whole must be street dance, naturally we can't also use such a design with half each, but add some modern dance movements to strengthen the expressiveness and appeal of the whole dance, do you still think there is a problem?"
"No problem. "Specific examples have been placed in front of us, and everyone has seen and felt the effect, so naturally no one has any objections.
"Wait!" Zhou Jingyi suddenly spoke, immediately attracting everyone's attention and attention. Could it be that Zhou Jingyi, who was the most supportive of Xiao Yao at the beginning, still has any objections at this time?
Zhou Jingyi looked at Xiao Yao and said: "One is hip-hop dance plus ballet, modern dance, national standard and other academic styles, and the other is hip-hop dance with modern dance movements." There are also male and female protagonists, both of which are pas de deux with prominent male and female protagonists, as well as group dances with the whole team. This is the dance of a Chinese dance team, you are from China. On top of that, the video is clearly a rehearsal video in the rehearsal room, not a video of a stage performance. So, the choreography and soundtrack for the dance on this video are you, too?"
"Wow!" Hearing Zhou Jingyi's comparison and the reasons listed, everyone thought that this was really the case, and their eyes widened and looked at Xiao Yao in surprise.
"yes, I wrote it for them two years ago, and I made the soundtrack. Xiao Yao smiled and nodded, "I told you that I am also a member of the dance team in Huaxia, and the dance team on the video is the dance team I joined in Huaxia." After I choreographed this dance for them two years ago, they invited me to join their team. That's when I started learning to dance with them. ā
"So when you made this dance, you didn't know how to dance at all?" TJ continued.
"Yes, I didn't know how to dance before. But my mother used to be a professional dancer before she became an actress, and I also know a thing or two about dance. I've seen a lot of dances and have a lot of ideas. Xiao Yao said.
"At that time, the captain of the girls' side of the dance team was a friend of mine, and I originally followed her to play with the dance team and watch them rehearse. Later, I found out that they had a dance team, but it was divided into two separate parts, one side of street dance, and the other side of ballet, modern dance and national standard dance, which seemed to have nothing to do with each other, which made me feel like two teams. And I thought, why don't we do a dance together, and then we had this dance, and I was invited to join their dance team. ā
"I'll go, this is a choreographer who knows how to score music. TJ exclaimed, exaggeratedly.
"If you had shown us this video three days ago, we would have invited you to join us at that time and help us choreograph and score the music, how could there be such an agreement that everyone would vote on the work three days later?" Paul also smiled, with a clear expression on his face that he had found a treasure.
"It seems like that," Xiao Yao scratched his head, "why didn't I think of it at the time." It's a very simple solution. ā
Since he had choreographed works before, he just showed them directly, but unfortunately such a simple method, Xiao Yao didn't think of it at the time.
"No matter what," Xiao Yao put down his head-scratching hand and continued, "the result is still the same. I also didn't waste time doing useless things. Even if you had agreed to join me at the time, I wouldn't have had a well-formed dance to give you at the time. It's going to take me about three days to get this dance out there. ā
"In that case, let's not waste time. Paul stood up and said, "Guys, you have no objection to Jan joining us as our choreographer and musician, right?"
"No!" everyone shook their heads.
"Okay, let's start rehearsing. Paul clapped his hands and made everyone stand up, then turned his head to look at Xiao Yao and said, "Choreographer, how to proceed later, how everyone should practice, we will listen to you now." ā
"Okay, let's start with you and Kim's movements first, and the others will practice freely first. Xiao Yao spoke.
Zhou Jingyi and Paul stood in front of Xiao Yao, looking forward to how Xiao Yao would guide them. Although the others heard Xiao Yao say about free practice, they didn't walk away obediently, but just stood away, still looking at the three of them curiously, and also wanted to see how Xiao Yao, the new choreographer, guided the two key members of the team.
Xiao Yao didn't care too much about the onlookers of the players, and began to explain the movements to Zhou Jingyi and Paul. He had choreographed and instructed Cheng Xi and Chen Chen in the Dawn Dance Troupe before, and with a certain amount of experience, he still followed the method at that time. Explain first, if it doesn't work, then demonstrate, let them figure out the designed movements first, and then train the rhythm of the music and the emotional interaction between the two.
Anyway, he has been practicing for two years, and Xiao Yao, who has a certain basic dance skills, is much easier to demonstrate dance movements than when he first instructed Cheng Xi and Chen Chen, and it is also much more standard and smooth. I think that at the beginning, he relied on the physical foundation of having practiced martial arts, and he made one move after another.
Although the members of the dance team watched Xiao Yao's process of guiding Zhou Jingyi and Paul with relish, several audience members of other band members were a little unmotivated.
Sarmeon, who looked cold, still leaned against the pillar and watched quietly, while Dean, George, and Mike simply went to the side to watch Xiao Yao and chatted quietly.
"I didn't think Jan could choreograph, he could choreograph that kind of dance, and if it was two years ago, how old he would have been then? Doesn't seem to be sixteen? George sighed quietly. When Zhou Jingyi watched the dance video with Xiao Yao's mobile phone, several of them also came over to watch it.
"Yes, Xueba, martial arts, playing bands, choreographers and dancing, do you think there is anything else he can't do?" Dean also shook his head and sighed, "I originally thought that the Huaxia exchange student who lived in my house was just a common nerd in school, but I didn't expect it to be such a monster, you say, is this my luck or misfortune?"
"Come on, don't get cheap and sell well. Michael and George gave Dean a disdainful look, and George said, "Aren't you already composing music and writing songs with Young? What I regret most now is why I didn't let my parents apply to the school to be an exchange host family in the first place. (To be continued.) )
