Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Five-Dollar Special Effect

Xiao Yao put the bag of flour on the ground, opened the seal of the plastic bag, stretched out his hands and inserted them into the flour, and after taking it out again, his hands covered with flour all turned white. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"What are you going to do?" Paul looked at Xiao Yao's movements strangely, and when Xiao Yao walked towards him with a pair of white hands, he couldn't help but ask a little nervously.

"Relax, nothing was too much trouble. Xiao Yao smiled, walked up to Paul and patted both shoulders with both hands. The shoulders on both sides of Paul's shirt suddenly turned white.

Xiao Yao didn't stop, and walked towards the next target, TJ.

Glancing at Paul about to sweep the flour off his shoulder, Xiao Yao hurriedly stopped him: "Don't move, you'll know why I did this in a while." ”

"It's... All right. Paul forced himself to stop, rather reluctantly.

Seeing Paul stop moving, Xiao Yao turned around and continued to pat TJ's body again, and also instructed: "Don't touch these flours, I naturally have my reasons for doing this." ”

After patting the three people, Xiao Yao felt that there was not much flour in his hands, so he returned to the bag of flour and inserted his hands into it again, and after covering his hands with flour again, he continued to treat the fourth person according to the law.

"Jan, why do you always have trouble with our clothes?" When Xiao Yao walked up to Rick, Rick couldn't help but smile bitterly and complained.

"Oh, yes? I'll wipe your face then. As he spoke, Xiao Yao raised his hands and gestured to greet Rick's head.

"No! clothes will do the trick. Rick quickly tilted his head back and dodged, and said quickly.

After going around, Xiao Yao smeared everyone's bodies with flour, even Zhou Jingyi, a girl, did not let go, especially the shoulders on both sides, which were heavily smeared.

"Well, now it's time to unravel the mystery. Xiao Yao smiled and said, "This is the special effect I added to everyone's dance." ”

"Special effects?" everyone was puzzled.

"Don't understand? It's okay, you'll all understand right away. Xiao Yao said, "In order to let you better see the effect of this special effect, now you are randomly divided into two groups, stand facing each other, and then learn two movements from me." ”

Everyone stood in two groups according to Xiao Yao's request, and looked at Xiao Yao together.

Xiao Yao smiled at first, and then his face turned grim. With a snap of his legs, he clapped his shoulders with his hands crossed, then tilted his head to the right, and his left hand swept quickly on his right shoulder.

"That's it?" everyone looked at Xiao Yao strangely.

"Yes, you try. Xiao Yao smiled.

"Okay, everybody listen to me, one, two, three, go!" Paul knew that this movement must be done neatly, so he commanded.

"Smack!" "Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh." After a few cracks, everyone's eyes widened. Because half of the people were standing facing each other, everyone clearly saw the effect of these movements.

When everyone's hands slapped on the shoulder, the flour on the shoulder was slapped up by everyone, just the scene of the flour flying in the sky was very spectacular, everyone followed a sweeping shoulder action, and saw that there were countless white powder flying out in the same direction, this overall visual effect, suddenly made everyone's mouth wide.

This action is a classic action of the MJ gods in the previous life, but Xiao Yao gave the dance team not this action, but the special effect of this dust.

The expressions of the dance team let Xiao Yao know that everyone had seen the effect they wanted to perform, so he asked with a smile: "Everyone has also seen the effect, how do you feel?"

"It's great, it's a feeling, it's imposing. TJ spoke first.

"Actually, I wanted to use ash. Hip-hop is originally street art, so getting dirty and having a little dust on your clothes is not a problem. Xiao Yao said to everyone, "But I think you guys are quite clean here, so I probably can't find so much dust that you can get on your body and shoot off, and I think the white flour can make everyone see more clearly, so I spent five dollars to buy this bag of flour instead." ”

"It's not just the action, it's this. Xiao Yao put his hands into the flour bag that already had a small half bag left, and then his hands slammed up from both sides of his body, and two arcs of white dust immediately appeared in the air.

"This method of creating VFX out of dust is my Christmas present to you. Xiao Yao finally said, "What we need to consider is what actions to add these special effects." ”

"Ok, we appreciate it. But this can wait, and I wonder why you're the only one in the room who is clean?"

A voice came from behind Xiao Yao. When he heard the last sentence and turned around in surprise, he was greeted by a pair of large white hands stained with flour. Before Xiao Yao wanted to dodge, the big white hands had already covered Xiao Yao's hair and face.

"TJ, you're dead!" Xiao Yao bent down and shook the flour on his face, and shouted loudly.

TJ who succeeded in sneaking up on Xiao Yao suddenly remembered that Zhou Jingyi had said that Xiao Yao knew kung fu and could beat three of himself at once, and hurriedly shouted: "Brothers, let's go together!"

So, under the call of TJ, everyone in the dance team pounced on Xiao Yao together. There are more than a dozen people in the dance team, but there is only one plastic bag for flour, and everyone can't line up one by one to go to the plastic bag to dig out the flour, but fortunately, Xiao Yao patted more flour on their clothes, and there was still a lot of residue on their bodies after doing the action just now, everyone directly reached out and smeared a handful on their clothes, and their hands could also be stained with a lot of flour, which was enough for them to attack Xiao Yao.

"Merry Christmas!" everyone shouted and surrounded Xiao Yao with a grin, and a pair of hands stained with flour greeted Xiao Yao. Faced with everyone's siege, Xiao Yao could only hold his head and dodge everywhere.

Xiao Yao, who had practiced martial arts, was nimble and strong, and finally escaped from everyone's encirclement, and saw the plastic bag containing the remaining flour on the ground at a glance, and ran over in two steps and took it in his hand. As soon as he used his hands, he directly tore the plastic bag, and then with a wave of his hand, all the remaining flour flew towards the pursuing dancers. At this moment, everyone's heads and bodies were snow-white.

Calabasas is adjacent to Los Angeles, so it has a similar climate to Los Angeles, which is located in the Mediterranean climate zone, and there is basically no snow all year round, but the dance team has a "white" Christmas in the rehearsal room.

After enjoying the Christmas and New Year holidays, Xiao Yao and the dance team members devoted themselves to choreography and rehearsals, and prepared for the "National Street Dance Competition" that began in mid-January.

According to the schedule of the "National Street Dance Competition", the "Riptide" street dance team has a maximum of three competitions to experience. There are a total of 16 teams in the main competition, divided into eight groups to fight and dance with each other, and the time and venue of each group are different, and the winner advances to the quarterfinals. The quarterfinals are the same, they are still divided into four groups for two or two PK, and the winner is determined to enter the semi-finals at different times and venues. The final will be on January 28, and the top four teams will face off in the final showdown.

Only the final was played on the stage of a performance venue in a famous hotel in Los Angeles, while the first two PK matches were played in some relatively street-like venues, but all the matches of the main event were videotaped and edited and broadcast on television.

On January 8th, the dance team received a notice from the organizers that their first competition would be held on January 13th, against a hip-hop team from Miami in a warehouse called "Red Stone" in Los Angeles.

After receiving the notice, Xiao Yao, Paul, TJ, and Zhou Jingyi also drove to Los Angeles and went around the warehouse where they were going to race. I found that it was an old warehouse with a history of more than ten years, and the walls were painted with all kinds of graffiti, which matched the style of hip-hop dance from the appearance alone.

On the evening of January 13th, the day of the first showdown of the main competition. All members of the "Riptide" dance team arrived at the competition venue fifteen minutes before the allotted time.

After entering the door, Xiao Yao found that although the warehouse was old, the space was large enough. Because of tonight's game, the tournament organizers have also made some changes to the warehouse. On the basis of maintaining the original style of the warehouse as much as possible, some lighting and sound equipment were installed, and even a platform more than one meter high was built on one corner of the warehouse. Judging from the size of the platform, it does not look like a platform for two dance teams to fight, but rather a judging table for the judges to condescendingly observe the performance of the dance teams. This means that their competition and dance will be held on the ground in front of that platform.

Such a scene, Xiao Yao has only seen in movies in his previous life. Now that he was there, Xiao Yao was a little excited unconsciously. The only pity is that he still can't participate in the dance fight in this competition, so he can only be a spectator cheering for his teammates.

Speaking of audiences, when Xiao Yao and the others arrived, there were already audiences in the warehouse who arrived earlier than them. Because there is no need to buy tickets for this game, there are still a lot of spectators, and there are nearly 100 people at a cursory glance. When the three judges make their final decision, the reaction of the audience is also an important factor that they will consider. The game hasn't started yet, but music is already playing in the live stereo to arouse the emotions of the audience.

Probably because he has seen a lot of such scenes, after TJ entered the warehouse, he did not observe the environment of the scene like Xiao Yao, but directly scanned the audience. Soon, he walked over with a smile and a crowd.

Xiao Yao noticed TJ's movement, and after seeing the crowd of spectators in that direction for TJ, he also followed with a smile.

"Nathan, Ray, Joe, you're all here. TJ smiled and said hello to a few people holding hands and touching shoulders.

"As we said, Veteran Yang's team, we will definitely be on site to support. Nathan smiled, "Besides, you said that I would see our parkour moves from your hip-hop dance moves in this game, and of course we should come to see it live." ”

"Thank you for coming. Xiao Yao, who came up, also said to a few people.

TJ and Xiao Yao both came over, and the others naturally did not lag behind, the last time Xiao Yao took them to see parkour, the two groups of people already knew each other, and at this time they naturally stood together and chatted with each other. (To be continued.) )
