Stage 228 begins
The song "Empire-State-of-Mind" that Yoo Hae-jin wants to perform is a collaboration between the famous American hip-hop singer Jay-Z and the female singer Alicia Keys. The lyrics of the www.biquge.info describe the streets and alleys of New York and the scenes of life here, showing people the style of New York.
It's debatable whether Jay-Z isn't America's greatest rapper, but there's no doubt that he's in the top three of America's greatest rappers.
In fact, MTV, the world's largest music television network, once rated Jay-Z as the greatest rapper of all time, but Liu Haizhen likes Eminem more, so in his personal heart, Jay-Z's ranking is lower than 2pac.
But that didn't stop him from liking the song, and in his mind, New York was the second largest city in the United States he had visited, the first being San Francisco, Los Angeles and Boston, where he had been living and studying, were still below New York.
Boston is because although he studied here, he lived in Cambridge most of the time, and only went to live in his studio in Boston on his days off and holidays.
Boston is not far from New York, and after he qualified to drive a motorcycle, he rode his motorcycle to New York many weekends to buy a burger or a hot dog and pass the time in Central Park.
After lunch, he'd ride his motorcycle around Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, and even Long Island, sometimes to the edge of Hell's Kitchen, but he didn't dare to go deeper.
New York is the home of the little spiders, and among all the superheroes including DC and Marvel, Bangs Haizhen's favorite is the little spider with some chatter.
When the song was released, Liu Haizhen was immediately hooked. The lyrics seemed to take him back to those years of studying abroad, and as the music flowed through his ears, he seemed to hear the noise of the streets of Brooklyn and the shouting of gangs.
He had heard this song countless times, memorized the lyrics completely the first time, and was able to sing along the second time. Everyone has one or two songs that can be performed at any time, and for Liu Haizhen, this song is something he can take out and perform at any time.
Originally, because he just loved rapping, he didn't study and practice specifically, so he used to only be able to "speak" at this level. Now that he has practiced a lot, his level can be regarded as reaching the level of "singing".
When he got to the lounge, he tried to sing it twice, and when he got it right, even Gary applauded him when he sang it again.
After preparing this song, it is time to practice the dance with Hyuna.
The choreography of the song Troublemaker is not complicated, it is basically composed of a few simple choreographic movements, and the biggest highlight and difficulty is the very provocative male and female dance.
Among the key choreographic moves are Hyuna's hand, sniffing the fragrance from the fingers to the neck. Or Hyuna's hands on her hips as she turned her back to the audience. The most daring choreography is that the two of them are close to each other, and their right hands are placed on the thigh of Hyuna's right leg, reaching towards the base of the thigh.
In short, when watching the live video found on the Internet in the lounge, Liu Haizhen can be said to have watched it with gritted teeth. If Zhang Xiansheng was here at this time, Liu Haizhen would definitely be unable to help but beat him.
After reading it once, Liu Haizhen wrote down the general movements, and then continued to practice with Hyuna.
The pas de deux dance is different from the group knife dance, as long as you follow the rhythm correctly and make no mistakes, it can produce a pleasing stage effect. Therefore, the knife group dance requires everyone to do their part.
Ensemble dance, on the other hand, focuses more on the coordination and interaction between the two. Therefore, there are higher requirements for the tacit understanding between each other.
Fortunately, Liu Haizhen and Hyuna have also known each other for so many years, they know each other well, and they are completely open in front of each other, and they can know what the other party is thinking with one look.
After practicing three times in the break room, there were no problems overall. At this time, Gary happened to go up to perform, and after his performance, it was time for Yoo Hae Jin and Hyun Ah to stage.
"By the way, you and Jimin performed here last time?" Hyuna asked, lying on the sofa and looking at Bang Hae-jin.
"yes, it was the other day. Liu Haizhen nodded and said. "Didn't she participate in that show, and the next performance was in the club, so she said she wanted to try it first. ”
"And then you came along?" Hyuna snorted from her nose, sneering in a weird way.
"I just came here because I was a little stressed. Liu Haizhen said angrily.
"I don't know where you get so much pressure, people who hate noisy places the most, actually come here. Hyuna took out a mint and put it in her mouth.
"I told you you don't know. Liu Haizhen shook his head, he couldn't say that you were my source of pressure, although he really wanted to say so.
The two chatted for a while, and Gary's performance ended very successfully. The audience did not expect to see Gary here, and they applauded in surprise, and the atmosphere was very warm.
And such a warm atmosphere also made Liu Haizhen nervous. It's not the first time he's done on stage, but he's still a complete novice. Especially when I think of having my own solo stage later, I tremble even more nervously.
"Next, let's welcome TroubleMaker, brought by TroubleTerminator!" Under the introduction of the temporary DJ, Yoo Hae-jin took Hyuna's hand and walked onto the stage with the temporary backup dancer found by the representative.
"I personally like the song troublemaker, so I have a curious question to ask. DJ picked up the microphone and asked. "Why do you call it Troubleterminator?"
"The trouble caused by Hyuna and Jang Hyun-sung will be put to an end by me. Bangs pulled his hood, and the flashing light shone on the corners of his slightly disdainful mouth, and he said arrogant words. "That's where the name of our temporary group comes from. ”
"Cool!Hyuna, do you have anything to say?" the DJ turned to ask Hyuna, expecting Hyuna to retort to Yoo Hae-jin.
"That's what he said. Hyuna smiled lightly, glanced at Liu Haizhen without a trace, and said.
"Okay, let's enjoy the wonderful stage that the two of you have to offer!" shouted the DJ. "music-starts!" (To be continued.) )
