Chapter 62: I Can Help You
"Ok, I'm here. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 With a shout, Zhou Jingyi walked towards the door.
Xiao Yao looked at Zhou Jingyi who came over, different from the baseball cap and apron work clothes seen in the supermarket, and different from the casual casual clothes worn when I met in the alley a few nights ago, Zhou Jingyi's clothes and dress today are very hip-hop.
His long black hair was braided into a dozen tiny braids and hung on his back. The upper body wears a loose blue and white baseball uniform. The baseball uniform without zipping is a black cropped sports vest, which can clearly see not only her proud uprightness, but also her tight and flat abdomen that even slightly protrudes the contours of the abdominal muscles. The lower body is a pair of loose off-white camouflage military trousers, in which the left leg reaches below the knee, revealing a delicate and smooth white calf. On his feet, he wore a pair of white shoes. As soon as the whole person stood in front of Xiao Yao, there was a wild sexy smell coming to his face.
"Your dress today is very cool!" Seeing Zhou Jingyi coming over, Xiao Yao first opened his mouth and praised it from the bottom of his heart.
"Thank you," Zhou Jingyi smiled, "I didn't expect you to come quite quickly, and you brought someone over." ”
"Oh, this is..."Xiao Yao remembered that the Samian he brought hadn't been introduced to Zhou Jingyi yet, and hurriedly said.
"I've seen the beautiful drummers of your band. Zhou Jingyi interrupted Xiao Yao and said directly, "Hello, I'm Kimberly Zhou, you can call me Jin." ”
"Hello, I'm Sarmeon Smith. Samian and Zhou Jingyi nodded, as if they had greeted you, "I seem to have seen you too, and you are also "buying" more jobs, right?
"Yes, that's me. Zhou Jingyi also smiled and nodded, "Yang said that I have seen your band rehearse, so I also came to see the rehearsal of our dance team, but I didn't expect to bring you along." ”
"Oh, I was worried that he wasn't familiar with this place, and he couldn't drive without a driver's license, so it would be a hassle to find him, so I drove him over and drove him home after he had seen your rehearsals. "You don't mind if you have an extra audience at your rehearsals, do you? I promise it won't interfere with your rehearsals." ”
"Of course not, you're welcome. Zhou Jingyi also said, and then asked as if she had reacted, "Wait, you mean you live together?"
"Yes, we live together. Sarmien nodded.
"How come..."Zhou Jingyi first showed a surprised expression, then remembered Xiao Yao's identity, and smiled with relief: "You mean, Yang lives in your house, so your family is Yang's host family as an international exchange student?"
"yes, the Smiths are very nice to me, I get along really well with them, and Sam and I are members of a band, very good friends, that's why I brought Sam here. This time it was Xiao Yao who replied.
"Okay, no problem, your friend is also my friend. Zhou Jingyi said generously to Xiao Yao.
"Can I ask you a question?" Samion looked at Zhou Jingyi and suddenly spoke.
"Absolutely. Zhou Jingyi replied.
"On Wednesday night, Jan came back very late, and he had a drink, and he said he went to a friend's house for a drink, and that friend was you?" said Sarmeon.
"Thursday..."Zhou Jingyi thought for a while, remembering that it was the night of the attack on the alley, so she nodded and said, "It's me." That night I was followed and attacked by some street thugs, who knocked me down and saved me and later sent me home. So I invited him to my house for some drink. ”
"I see, then you—" Sarmien was about to ask again, but was interrupted by shouting from there.
"Kim, are you done talking? It's time to start rehearsals. ”
"OK, here!" Zhou Jingyi turned her head and agreed, and turned back to Xiao Yao and Samion, "I'm going to rehearse, let's not talk about it yet." Feel free to do whatever you want. After saying that, Zhou Jingyi turned around and ran back to the group of people in her dance team.
"Let's go check it out, too. Xiao Yao greeted Samien, walked three or four meters away from their group and stood still, staring at the group of people with interest. Sarmeen leaned his back against a pillar in the factory and looked at Zhou Jingyi in the dance team.
Probably Zhou Jingyi and the people in the team said that there would be friends to come and see them rehearsal. So everyone didn't care much about Xiao Yao and Samion, the two spectators.
The sound of music in the loudspeakers made everyone dance to the beat of the music.
Hip-hop is very energetic, both in terms of music and the dance scene itself. Xiao Yao also watched with relish next to the venue. In fact, in terms of individual skills alone, half of the members of this dance team are stronger than the hip-hop members of the Dawn Dance Troupe led by Chen Chen. The remaining half is between them and them. But when it comes to the overall effect, this obviously improvised team is not as good as the guys in the Dawn Dance Troupe who have been practicing together for years.
One dance was practiced four times in a row, almost twenty minutes long, and the dance team also entered a short break. Zhou Jingyi wiped the sweat oozing from her forehead, walked up to Xiao Yao and said with a smile: "What do you think?"
"It's good. Xiao Yao nodded, "It can be seen that each of you has been practicing for several years, and in terms of personal skills and basic skills, you are much stronger than me, who has only studied for two years." Even if there are no rules, it's right that you don't agree with me joining your team to play. ”
"Really, then what do you think of the results of our team?" Zhou Jingyi smiled even more happily when she heard Xiao Yao praise her team, and then asked.
"I don't think it's good. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yao shook his head and said.
"Why? The smile on Zhou Jingyi's face disappeared and she looked at Xiao Yaodao.
"I'm talking about your players' individual skills and basic skills, but the overall effect you present is not so good. Xiao Yao said, "It's really difficult for you to notice when you're in the meantime, there's not even a big mirror here, and you can't see it." By the way, haven't you filmed your rehearsals on DVD?"
"No, our team was formed on an ad hoc basis, and it took more than half a month to gather the number of people needed for the participating teams, and we rehearsed together no more than five times. Zhou Jingyi shook her head and said.
"It turned out that the run-in was not enough, okay, don't worry about this for now. Xiao Yao continued, "There is almost a quarter of the rhythm of this dance of yours and the piece you chose. Who choreographed this dance, and who chose the music? If you just use this dance to accompany this song to the competition, under the eyes of those professional judges, I'm afraid you won't be able to pass the first round. ”
"Hey, kid, who do you think you are?" The people of the dance team knew that the Chinese kid who was watching was a friend of Zhou Jingyi, and Zhou Jingyi immediately walked over to chat with him during the rehearsal break, obviously the relationship was very good, so they thought about coming over to say hello to Xiao Yao, but they didn't expect that as soon as they got closer, they heard Xiao Yao say that they couldn't pass the first round of evaluation, and immediately several team members shouted angrily.
"Kim, remember when I said I could give you advice? Xiao Yao ignored the angry and shouting team members, but looked at Zhou Jingyi and said, "The National Street Dance Competition is a regular competition, not an ordinary street dance, as long as the audience is cool to watch, they can not care about those details, this is checked by the judges." In the past few days, I have watched all the competition videos that can be found on the Internet in the past three national street dance competitions. I know what the level of the judges is and what their attitude is towards this kind of problem. ”
"But with so many teams participating this time, and how many teams have high-level choreographers and musicians, I know it's hard for us to go too far, but if we don't make it through the first round, I still can't believe it. Zhou Jingyi said hesitantly.
"I can help you. Xiao Yao said, "I also learned about the specific rules of the National Street Dance Competition by the way, the members of the street dance team must be Americans, this is for the members who dance on stage, and the choreographers, soundtracks and even live sound engineers behind the team, if they have them, are not restricted by this rule, they can be non-Americans." ”
"You?" Zhou Jingyi said with some hesitation, "Aren't you a rookie who has only been learning hip-hop for two years?
"Hey, I said you kid didn't want to get into our team, did you? Do you have some other purpose? It can't be that the opponent sent us to make trouble, right? Kim, how well do you know him?" another member of the team said.
"Hey, girl, if I were you, I'd choose to believe him. Just when Zhou Jingyi was still a little uncertain, a voice floated next to her, "He wrote the song in our band." And when he was in China, he was also a member of the training team of the Chinese Olympiad National Team, and his brain was different from that of us ordinary people. If he says he can help you, I think he will be able to help you. ”
"You wrote the song you rehearsed?" Zhou Jingyi naturally heard that the voice came from Samion next to her, and looked at Xiao Yao with some surprise. Then he said: "By the way, you said that your father is a musician, and it's not surprising that you can make music, but the choreographer... No matter what, I still choose to believe you..."
Zhou Jingyi looked up at her teammates around her and said, "Guys, this is Yang Xiao, from Huaxia, his father is a musician, and he can write songs himself." I want him to do the choreography and soundtrack for us. If you believe me, believe in him as much as I do. ”
"Kim, are you serious?" asked his teammates in surprise.
"Yes!" Zhou Jingyi nodded resolutely.
"Unbelievable. You're going to put our future in the hands of such a young boy?" shouted several teammates in dissatisfaction. Although this team is a temporary team, they are basically pulled in by Zhou Jingyi and several key team members one by one. Therefore, Zhou Jingyi's attitude accounts for a considerable amount of weight for their entire team.
"Guys, listen to me, I've heard the songs he wrote..."Zhou Jingyi looked at the team members, but as soon as she spoke, she was interrupted by Xiao Yao.
"I'll do it myself. Xiao Yao pulled Zhou Jingyi and said to the members of the dance team: "I know you doubt whether I have the ability to help you choreograph and score music." Actually, it's very simple, what kind of ability I have, you can spend a few days, and you can watch it after the first dance I choreographed and soundtracked for you comes out. I don't think you're so nervous that you can't afford to delay even a few days, as if you don't rehearse every day now. Well, in three days, I'll bring you the choreography and soundtrack that I did for you. At that time, how about you judge whether I am qualified to be your choreographer and soundtrack?"
