Chapter Seventy-Three: Advancing to the Main Event

After saying something to the hip-hop dance team behind him, Piper Hugo, who turned around, looked at Zhou Jingyi on the stage and said, "Before I start evaluating you, I have a few questions I want to ask first, can I?"

"Of course, please. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zhou Jingyi said with a smile.

"First of all, you zombies scared us all when they came out. This is a very cool shape, did you design and make it yourself?" asked Piper Hugo, looking at the "zombies" standing in the back row.

"Yes," Zhou Jingyi nodded, "Specifically, it was designed by one of our team members, and most of the production was also done by him, we just helped step on the clothes a few times to make the clothes look dirty, and the zombie makeup on their faces was put on by me and him for the team members, but the makeup was also designed by him, and I just followed his guidance to put it on." ”

"Oh, who is it, can you get to the front?" said Piper Hugo with interest.

"He's not on stage. Zhou Jingyi shook her head and said, "He is not an American, and according to the rules of this competition, he can't perform on stage, so he is not on the stage now." ”

"Okay," Piper Hugo nodded, seemingly pleased with their compliance, and then asked another question: "What happened to the lights when the zombies appeared, and when did you buy off all the lighting artists on our site?"

"Wait, I think I should ask our Jill more," Piper muttered to himself before Zhou Jingyi could answer, and then turned to the direction of the second-floor control room above the audience behind him, "Jill, how long ago were you bought by them?"

"No, we don't know the lighting engineer at all," Zhou Jingyi replied with a smile, "At first, I didn't know what was going on, but now I think I know the answer." ”

"Oh?" Piper turned to look at Zhou Jingyi on the stage, "What's going on?"

"If the gaffer was bought, it must have been bribed when we were performing. And the person who bought him must be the team member we just talked about making "zombie" costumes and shapes. Because I see that he is not in the audience where he used to be. If I'm not mistaken, he's definitely in the control room on the second floor right now, with the gaffer. Zhou Jingyi explained.

"How is that possible?" Piper disagreed, "to avoid interfering with the work of the gaffer and sound engineer, the hallway door to the control room on the second floor is locked, and only the two of them and our limited number of people have the key. ”

"I don't know how he did it, I just believe he will definitely have a way. Zhou Jingyi said confidently.

"Well, I'm really interested in this guy now. Piper spoke, turning again in the direction of the control room and said, "Jill, I know you can hear what I'm saying. Is that kid in your control room now? If so, let him come down and come to the stage, I'm serious. ”

The three judges all turned their chairs, and even the people in the audience turned their heads curiously in the direction of the control room on the second floor.

I saw a figure walk out of the control room, and when he came to the door of the corridor leading to the control room, the figure did not open the door, but directly supported the railing of the second-floor walkway next to him and turned over to the outside of the railing. The figure held its legs dangling in the air, holding on to the top of the railing with both hands, and then letting go of his hands, the whole figure fell down.

"Hmm~" Seeing this, an exclamation sounded in the theater. The walkway on the second floor of the theater is more than four meters to five meters above the ground, and the height of the railing is almost six meters.

The figure grabbed the bulge at the bottom of the railing with both hands as it fell, stabilized its body and let go again, before finally landing on the carpeted theater floor.

"Whew~" Seeing the figure stand up as if nothing happened, the people who knew that he had landed safely breathed a sigh of relief.

The person who landed was naturally Xiao Yao. After landing safely, he trotted all the way to the stage and stood beside Zhou Jingyi. Zhou Jingyi took a step to the side with great interest and gave him the position in front of the microphone.

Only then did everyone realize that this was a very young boy with a Chinese face.

"Young man, your actions just now are dangerous, this kind of behavior is too reckless. The first thing Piper said when he turned around was to teach Xiao Yao a lesson.

"The gaffer didn't give me the key to that door. Xiao Yao spread his hands and said, "I thought he asked me how to come and how to go back, so I had to jump down." I'm a parkour player, and I'm pretty good at that kind of move, and it's not very dangerous for me, but I'm grateful for what you just told me. ”

At this time, a well-known song suddenly sounded in the sound speaker of the scene, called "Forget". After just two sentences, the music stopped.

"Well, Jill, I know you forgot to give him the key, not on purpose to embarrass him. Piper laughingly raised his hand back and said loudly.

"Your teammates say you're not American?" Piper turned his attention back to Xiao Yao.

"Yes, I am from Huaxia and I am from Huaxia. Xiao Yao replied.

"Can you tell me what you do, and what did you do in the United States?" Piper continued.

"I'm a student and came to the U.S. as an international exchange student. He is now enrolled in a secondary school in Calabasas. Xiao Yao continued to reply.

"Student?middle school?" Piper repeated in surprise.

"Yes. Xiao Yao nodded.

"You designed the zombie shape?" Piper continued.

"Yes. Xiao Yao continued to nod.

"The choreographer of this dance is also him. Zhou Jingyi suddenly put her head in front of the microphone and interjected.

"Really?" said the three on the judging stand this time with surprise at the same time.

"Basically," Xiao Yao said, "I came up with the idea and conceived the plot, but my teammates helped perfect a lot of the details of the action. ”

"How did you do that?" said Piper as he looked at Xiao Yao.

"I don't know, I just would. Xiao Yao shrugged his shoulders again and spread his hands.

"Can you dance?" Piper said, changing the question.

"Yes. Xiao Yao continued to nod.

"Can you come for a while?" asked Pibot.

"Why?" Xiao Yao laughed, "Are you going to change the rules of the competition to allow non-Americans to dance on stage?"

"No, just to satisfy the curiosity of an old man like me. Piper laughed.

"Can you refuse?" Xiao Yao pursed his lips.

"Aren't you afraid I'll knock you out because of this?" Piper continued.

"Will you?" Xiao Yao asked rhetorically as he looked at Piper with a smile.

"Well, I really won't. Piper smiled and raised his hands.

"Marie, Santos, what do you two think?" Piper turned to look at his two judging partners.

"Direct qualification. The two looked at each other, then replied in unison.

"Well, I think the same way. Piper laughed and said to everyone on stage, "Congratulations, you're going straight to the main event! ”

"Great!" Zhou Jingyi, who was beside Xiao Yao, screamed and hugged Xiao Yao. The team members in the back also cheered, surrounded the two, and a group of people happily hugged each other.

"Alright, you can leave now and wait for the announcement of our main event. Now, leave the stage for the back team and go home and celebrate. Piper had to interrupt the players on stage.

"Okay, thanks. The team members on the stage bowed again and jumped off the stage happily. In the envious eyes of the audience, he pushed open the door of the theater and left.

Blown by the cold wind outside the theater, everyone calmed down a little. Zhou Jingyi recalled her performance on the stage just now, and asked Xiao Yao with some fear: "Your dance has been very good now, and it's not that you can't handle it, but when Piper asked you to dance on stage just now, why did you refuse? Aren't you afraid that he will really eliminate our team because you rejected him?"

"Ha, of course I'm not afraid. Xiao Yao said with a smile, "I said, I have watched the competition videos of the "National Street Dance Competition" in the past few years, and Piper has been the judge for the past few years, and I know his character. To fully display his personality within the scope of the rules, he will only appreciate and will not retaliate. ”

"I thought you said you watched the video of the competition, and you were only referring to the dancing part. Zhou Jingyi said.

"Of course not, understanding the judging is also one of the homework I did. Xiao Yao said, "It's a pity that this year's judges are only Piper who is the old judge of previous years, and the other judges have all been replaced." ”

"It's enough. Paul patted Xiao Yao on the shoulder and said, "You've done well enough." ”

"Where are we going to celebrate?" TJ leaned over and said, "Do you want to go to the bar? I know a lot of good bars in Los Angeles." ”

"No, Jan isn't old enough to go into a bar. Zhou Jingyi said.

"yes, I think it's good to celebrate a little bit, just go to the bar and party, we just made it to the main competition, not the championship. Paul also said, "Besides, we haven't done the dance yet." ”

As soon as Paul's words came out, everyone immediately looked at Xiao Yao in unison.

"Hmm... The main competition is different from the primary selection. Xiao Yao pondered for a while and said, "According to the competition system, the first two games of the main competition are one-on-one PK matches, and because it is in the form of fighting dance, our way of designing the plot can no longer be used." We can only find a way out of it in other ways. ”

"That's right. Everyone nodded their heads. When it comes to the reason why they were able to directly advance to the main competition today, the biggest highlight is that they used dance to show a complete story. But when dancing, one party dances a section first, and the other party comes out to dance a section in response, and so on until the end of the game, so designing the plot and telling the story is useless in the form of fighting dance, because the performance is not coherent from beginning to end at all.

"The most important thing in fighting dance is the movement. Xiao Yao said, "In this way, I will take you to a place, hoping to give you some inspiration." ”

"Now?" Paul and TJ said as they looked at Xiao Yao.

"Wait, I'll make a call first. Xiao Yao took out his mobile phone and dialed a number to go out, and after the phone was connected, Xiao Yao asked, "Hi, Nathan, I'm Yang." Are you doing something in the old place today?"

"Okay, I'll come over in a moment, well, and bring some friends. After speaking, Xiao Yao hung up the phone and said to Paul and TJ: "It's now." (To be continued.) )
