Chapter 7 University Town Ball
A few people walked and chatted, and soon came to the square of the park. There are already a lot of people gathered in the square of Pen &www.biquge.info amp; Fun & Pavilion, and the dress of these people is very advanced in this era. But in Xu Canhao's eyes, except for some retro styles, the others can only be described by two words: weird or earthy. However, he likes the atmosphere on this side of Daxue Road, freedom, art, health, etc., which you can feel when you close your eyes. graffiti walls in alleys; sporadic literary and artistic youths who sketch, sing love songs and play guitar; Skateboarders, dancing popular breaking teenagers; a variety of creative shops, cafes; Sculpture exhibition hall, cultural hall and so on. Between the red bricks and green tiles, in the birch bushes, the old walls covered with creepers, and the cute potted plants that can be seen everywhere. Every time he comes here, Xu Canhao feels like he is in a huge lens, and this sense of picture makes him feel that he should only appear in photos, paintings, and movies. (This area of Daehakroro is home to almost some of the best universities in Korea: Korea University, Seoul University, Sungkyunkwan, Catholic University, Seongseong Women's University, and Kyung Hee University.) Even after the holiday, there are still a lot of people, mainly concentrated in this area, as well as Dongdaemun. )
The six of them walked into the crowd and greeted familiar people. Xu Canhao saw Max, who was debugging the stereo not far away, and walked towards him. Max is an international student from Nevada, USA, who danced with Xu Canhao. His voice is very magnetic, and his voice is very good, but his singing is a mess, which makes Xu Canhao feel sorry for him for a while, complaining that he wasted a natural good voice.
“hey,max。 How is everything? Xu Canhao patted Max's shoulder hard, but he had to stand on tiptoe to get there.
“hey,ab(albert)! It turned out to be you, haha..."Max turned around and hugged a bear, picked up Xu Canhao and spun around twice, and took a small revenge. Although the two have only met twice, they don't mind these little jokes. Compared to other people's subtle and half-baked English, Max prefers to be with this little genius. This Korean kid, who is ten years younger than him, can not only speak pure American English, but also dance very well. The dance is very complicated, the sense of musicality is quite strong, I heard that he sings better, but he is in the period of voice change, and he has no chance to see it.
"Alright, alright, Max, I was wrong, let me down, it's too embarrassing. People will misunderstand the pure friendship between the two of us. Xu Canhao said goodbye while not forgetting to be amused.
"Okay, I also want to find an Oriental girlfriend, so I'll let you go this time." Max smiled and put down Xu Canhao, the two looked at each other and smiled, hugged and said hello again.
"Ha, look, our ab is really good today! Full hiphop! yeah~yo,eon! thisisa,b,show~! A guy wearing toad glasses and a baseball jacket pretended to be DJ, holding it as if he was holding a microphone in one hand, and constantly making various funny gestures with the other hand, walking around Xu Canhao and looking at his outfit. Finally, he took off his hat and put it on his head, crossed his hands on his chest, and looked at Xu Canhao proudly with his head held high.
"Haha, jack! Long time no see. Xu Canhao smiled and opened his hands to hug the foreigner who grabbed his hat.
"Hey~~, Albert, how's it going, is the hat still satisfied?" Jack smiled and took off his hat and put it back on for Seo Chan-ho.
"Of course, I would be more satisfied if I gave money." Xu Canhao responded with a smile. This hat was sent from the United States by Jack to his friend and given to Xu Canhao. Originally, Xu Canhao was going to pay, but Jack refused to accept it, and he sent a Yankees family photo postcard with it.
“oh,e! Please don't care so much between friends, okay? Jack frowned helplessly and hugged Xu Canhao and said.
"Alright, alright, the prom is about to begin, let's all go and get ready. Albert, I'm looking forward to our showdown, so be careful. Max walked over and pulled Jack away and said to Xu Canhao with a smile.
"Come on, I'll show you how my combination beats you, I just hope you don't let me win too easily. Otherwise, I'll be bored! Xu Canhao said to the two of them in a provocative tone, and after speaking, he gestured with his hand to shoot and gestured at them, "Smack, smack!" ”
Max and Jack also return the shot at the cute kid and go to their teammates.
Seo Chan-ho found Moon Hee-jun and saw them discussing the moves together, and warming up slightly. Xu Canhao walked over and found him when he got closer.
Wen Xijun pulled Xu Canhao to his side and said, "Canhao, although you don't dance with us, your solo dance in the middle is also a heavy play for scoring, you have to grasp the time and rhythm, remember?" Moon Hee-jun told him very seriously. The future captain becomes extremely serious and serious when he gets to work.
Xu Canhao also felt a little excited, and nodded solemnly in agreement. "Hyong, don't worry, I've been practicing hard for a long time, and I won't let you down, aza..." Seeing this, the others also stretched out their hands, stacking them one on top of the other, and shouted in unison: "five, six, fighting!" This is their unique slogan. Five is the hot five, and six is their identification with Xu Canhao together, and it is the title of the six of them.
"Zamganma, Zamganma (wait a minute), Hyong, why hasn't our foreign aid arrived yet?" An Qixuan suddenly stopped the encouragement of several people, looked at Wen Xijun and asked.
"Hey... I almost forgot about them. Wen Xijun suddenly remembered, grabbing his hair in annoyance.
"Maybe there's something delayed, the dance is about to start, or let's postpone it and do the finale!" Jang Woo-hyuk said as he did his dance moves. As soon as he finished speaking, the music in the square sounded, and a DJ wearing black-rimmed glasses stood on a high platform made of makeshift tables, rhythmically reciting the opening line.
"It's on, it's on! Hyong, let's get over there! The monkey jumped up and down and shouted loudly.
"Brother, what foreign aid?" Xu Canhao pulled Lee Jae-won's sleeve and asked quietly.
"Hehe, it's three beauties. You'll find out when you get down. "Lee Jae-won sold a pass.
At this moment, the two girls ran to several people out of breath. "Senpai, I'm sorry, Senpai, we're late." As soon as the two girls came, they kept bowing and apologizing to several people, even Xu Canhao was among them, and they looked very anxious.
"Ah, you're finally here. It's okay, it's okay, the dance hasn't started yet. Wen Xijun stood up and hurriedly waved his hand to indicate that it didn't matter. When he found that there were only two people coming, he asked, "Hey, where is Jin Liuzhen?" ”
"Senior, Sister Liu Zhen went back to the dormitory to rest because she was not feeling well, sorry senior." One of the round-faced girls with a cute face heard Wen Xijun's question, and took the lead to apologize and explain.
The five of them are actually quite shy.,Even Tony, who is usually the most jumpy, can't let go of the girls when he faces them.。 Looking at the young five-person group, Xu Canhao was happy. asked Li Zaiyuan beside him, "Brother, who are they?" ”
"There were originally three of them, and like us, they were selected by President Lee so-man himself through the draft of thousands of people. It seems that we will be trained to debut as a girl group, and now there are only a few of us in the company, so we sometimes take classes and train together. He joined the company a few months later than us, and he is our junior. Hearing Lee Jae-won's introduction, Xu Canhao was already sure who the three girls were. The three pillars of the SM company in the early days: the men's heavenly group, which was popular all over Asia, and even in Europe and the United States, there were many hot meals; The girl solo singer, BOA, a well-deserved sister in the Korean music industry, has made great contributions to the promotion of Hallyu, successfully occupied the Japanese market, and drove its influence into the United States. (The dispute between the first sister will talk about Lee Hyori, and Lee Hyori's appeal in South Korea is really strong.) However, in terms of contribution, the United States and Japan, which are most valued by Koreans, are far inferior to those of Baoer. It can be said that the success of SM is inseparable from them, and the development and rise of Hallyu are also inseparable from them. (Hallyu here mainly refers to Korean music)
Actually, Xu Canhao doesn't know much about the three of them, except for hot in his previous life, he didn't know Korean singers in the same period at all. Later, I learned that S.E.S is still because of X-Man, and there is only one song "DreameTrue" that I have heard from them, or because this song is so popular.
"Let's go over first, otherwise there will be too many people to squeeze in!" An Qixuan, who was on the side, anxiously watched the flow of people around him quickly converge towards the center of the square, if they couldn't occupy the front row, there would be no competition at that time.
Hearing An Qixuan's reminder, several people gathered around the two girls and quickly walked through the not too dense crowd and moved closer to the open space in the center of the square. At this time, the two girls noticed Xu Canhao. waited until a few people came to the circle to stand still, and the two asked Wen Xijun about him.
Without waiting for Wen Xijun's introduction, Xu Canhao took the initiative to come over and salute: "Hello two sisters, my name is Xu Canhao, and my English name is Albert." Xu Canhao doesn't know when his mentality has changed, probably because he has been holding the child's body for a long time, and there is no psychological obstacle to the use of this cute and sweet skill.
"Hehe, hello. My sister's name is Choi Sung-hee. This, you also have to call your sister, Xiuying xi. "Xu Canhao has long noticed this girl who gives people a more neutral feeling, well, to be precise, she is down-to-earth and generous. Bada, it's bada! I used to watch X-Man, but I was one of my favorite female guests in it. ’
"Ernie~" Hearing Cui Shengxi's slightly ridiculous introduction, the lovely Liu Xiuying shouted at her sister dissatisfied.
To be honest, Xu Canhao didn't feel amazing at all when he saw these future big stars. Sometimes they don't even think they're pretty or handsome, maybe they don't have to wait until they grow up and stand on the stage to make people discover their beauty. Well, temperament is also important. Xu Canhao was thinking about something else, and he looked stupid, but it was misunderstood.
"Yo, little brother, you can't be fascinated by our family Xiuying, right?" Cui Shengxi was originally a very outgoing girl, and sometimes she was a little crazy in front of a large group of acquaintances. At this time, when I saw Xu Canhao's appearance, I couldn't help but tease him. Walked up to him and raised the brim of his hat with his hands, making a somewhat frivolous movement. And Liu Xiuying's originally very fair face, because of her sister Shengxi's words, slowly climbed up a layer of redness.
Cui Shengxi's movements froze, he only saw Xu Canhao's side in a hurry when he was shuttling through the crowd before, and he didn't look very carefully because his hat was pressed low, and then he came over to greet him and bowed his head and didn't see his face clearly. At this time, she lifted the brim of Xu Canhao's hat just in time to meet his eyes. The instant eye contact made Cui Shengxi lose his mind for a moment - she had never seen such a ... Such a divine eye, not only can you see your own appearance in it, but you can also see more things as you go over, such as a picture composed of pictures, extending to the depths of your eyes, attracting yourself to want to go in and find out.
"Sister Sheng Xi, I prefer you who dare to act!" Xu Canhao's playful voice pulled Cui Shengxi back to reality, and unnaturally put down the brim of his hat that was still pinched in his hand. After recalling, he pulled down Xu Canhao's hat fiercely, covering his entire face. He closed his eyes hard, trying to shake out the bad eyes of Xu Canhao in his mind.
"Haha, our Chan Hao is as cheeky as rhinoceros skin, Shengxi, you know it's amazing!" Tony jumped up behind Seo Chan-ho, put his hand on his shoulder, leaned half on him, and laughed at Choi Seung-hee with an embarrassed face. "Maza, maza (that's right), certify!" Several other people followed suit.
Cui Shengxi was embarrassed, felt that his face was hot, pretended to be nothing, and stood back beside Liu Xiuying. Seeing that her sister Xiuying was also covering her mouth and chuckling, she felt even more embarrassed, and stretched out one hand to Xiuying's waist and twisted gently, while threatening: "Little girl, where are you?" Do you want to serve your sister's family? ”
A scream interrupted the frolicking of several people, and they all looked into the arena in unison. I saw that in the center of the square, in the specially set aside space, there were already several dancers dancing to the dynamic music. It's just the beginning of the show, and it's often preceded by solo dancers who complete the task of warming up the scene, and they compete with each other to choose the winner by the volume of voices they get.
The atmosphere on the field became more and more lively, and the people around the audience gathered more and more, many people behind them set up a high platform, and some boys even climbed the trees on both sides and shouted loudly. Xu Canhao also jumped and shouted with the rhythm.
"Sheng Xi, you go and have fun." At this time, Wen Xijun leaned into Cui Shengxi's ear and said loudly.
Cui Shengxi had already moved, and when he heard Wen Xijun's words, he nodded, and leaned into Liu Xiuying's ear and asked her to go together. However, Liu Xiuying seems to be reluctant to go, she is still very unsuitable for performing in front of so many people, a very shy girl. Cui Shengxi persuaded him for a long time and saw that it was useless, so he stepped into the dance hall alone. The DJ on stage saw that there was finally a female dancer on the stage, and shouted excitedly, constantly introducing the dancers and dance troupes he knew. When the surrounding wolves saw Cui Shengxi on the field, their hormones were bursting, and the sound was louder and louder. For this kind of formation, she is not stage frightened, dancing her own style of hiphop, each rhythm point is well grasped, and a few dynamic movements attract a wolf howl. Cui Shengxi seems to have found his own stage, and the more he jumps, the greater the range of movements, and the more he can let go. With the change of style of the song, Cui Shengxi's dance also changed to jazz, pretending to be arrogant, with one hand on his waist, and walked in front of Xu Canhao with his head held high. Starting from Jang Woo-hyuk on the right, wave by wave dances closely, only An Qixuan behaves unnaturally, and Choi Sung-hee seems to like to look at people's embarrassment and constantly teases him. But in fact, they never had any physical contact, and Cui Shengxi grasped everyone's body very well. When he came to Xu Canhao, Cui Shengxi directly snatched the hat from his head, put it on his head, and slid back into the field in a few steps.
Because of Cui Shengxi's entry, the atmosphere on the field was already very warm. At this moment, a foreign girl with blond hair and a big ponytail jumped out of the crowd opposite Xu Canhao, obviously with the help of other people's high lifting, a beautiful somersault into the arena. As soon as it landed, there were several difficult breaking, ushering in a tidal wave of roars, screams, whistles, and applause, obviously a girl can complete the difficult breaking beautifully, regardless of whether she knows how to dance or not, she no longer regrets her admiration. Then, the blonde girl high-fived the crowd around the sidelines with her hands held high like a winner. Then he returned to the field, came to Cui Shengxi, provocatively stretched out his finger to make a gesture between the two, and began to lock quickly, which was dazzling.
"This girl is very strong, at least more than a little stronger than Sister Sheng Xi." Xu Canhao moved to Wen Xijun's side and whispered.
Wen Xijun nodded, this girl is from the opposite Remove Dance Group, that is, the team where Max and Jack are located. There are a total of nine people, and this girl's strength can only rank third, but it is not something that Cui Shengxi can compete with now. Xu Canhao has also dealt with them a few times, but he has not won or lost, everyone just admires each other. So, both of them want to take advantage of this opportunity to divide the ranks.
Xu Canhao's eyes rolled and found their "dancing king" - Zhang Youhyuk.
"Hyong, go on, I'll help you!" Xu Canhao leaned over to Jang Youhyuk and said.
"Me?! Let me compare myself to a girl? I'm not going. "Jang Woo-hyuk is a proud dancer, and in this regard, he has a strong self-confidence, even a little conceited. But now, he's just a young man.
"Brother, you are earning face for us, you are our strongest, as soon as you play, you can definitely overwhelm them in one fell swoop." After Xu Canhao finished speaking, he saw that he was still unmoved, so he added another fire. "Brother, you can't be scared, right? Or is it because there are so many people..."
"Afraid!? Hum! Zhang Youhe loosened up, and was aroused by Xu Canhao's fighting spirit. Looking at the human figure jumping in the field, the fierce cheers in his ears from time to time, and the desire and lust in his eyes seemed to jump out of the ground. When several other people saw him like this, they all gave Xu Canhao a thumbs up.
Xu Canhao followed the circle formed by the crowd and approached the DJ's platform. While moving quickly, he kept an eye on Brother Yuhe, who was on the field. I saw that as soon as he came on the stage, he was a freestyle with a full score of power, all kinds of dances were freely mixed and interspersed, but it did not give people a chaotic feeling, every rhythm could be stepped on, and the beauty of male strength easily conquered the people present. Men feel their blood boiling when they see it, and they have an urge to dance with it for catharsis; When women saw it, even a reserved and shy girl like Liu Xiuying couldn't help jumping and screaming.
Xu Canhao found DJ to discuss with him, hoping to let him do the soundtrack. DJ looked at him incredulously, there was no DJ player, no musical instruments, nothing but stereos and microphones. If the music is stopped, what will happen to the consequences, you can imagine it with your ass, and the DJ will not agree to anything. The two argued for a while, and Max saw the situation and walked over. Xu Canhao explained to him, and Max agreed, he had seen the magic performance that Xu Canhao called Beatbox. DJ saw that Max agreed and had no opinion, the boss of the hip-hop club, one of the organizers of the event, spoke, can he still play blackface?
Just as the atmosphere on the field was hot, the music stopped. The crowd suddenly became agitated, loud shouts replaced shouts and cheers, and people began to speculate on the cause of the incident. Jang Woo-hyuk stopped his movements, looked at the DJ station, and saw Seo Chan-ho standing on it, and instantly understood.
Xu Canhao took the microphone, stood on the stage, saw Zhang Youhe looking at him, made an OK gesture to him, cleared his throat, and raised the microphone. "Bang, boom~boom..." Xu Canhao covered the wheat with both hands, his lips kept opening and closing, imitating the sound of the electronic drum, and his body swayed from side to side along the drum beat regularly. Zhang Youhyuk in the field was already prepared, shaking his chest and shaking his head with the rhythm drum he gave, and dancing poppin. This is the first time Xu Canhao has performed B-Box in front of so many people, and when he was in charge of the bar in his last life, he felt it was fun, and he learned from a DJ who played B-Box for a while, and he would practice if he was fine, and today it can be said that he has dug out the foundation.
The audience was still unknown at first, but as Xu Canhao spit out more and more musical instrument sounds, and cooperated with Zhang Youhe more and more tacitly, the applause and shouts below seemed to have found an outlet all of a sudden, which was quite turbulent, setting off the high and tide of the ball.
Liu Xiuying clenched her pink fist tightly, her face flushed with excitement, looked at Zhang Youhyuk for a while, and then looked at Xu Canhao. The two had such a tacit understanding without prior rehearsal, and this kind of performance was not only the first time I had seen it, but probably the same for most of the people present. Also, Xu Canhao, who is younger than himself, has such a magical ventriloquist that is even more dynamic and rhythmic than the music just now, as if a person is a band. Most of the audience's voices should actually be for him, Liu Xiuying couldn't help but follow the strong rhythm, involuntarily shrugged her shoulders and stepped on the drum.
"Jang Woo-hyuk!" "Xu Canhao!" Liu Xiuying was startled by the shouts that were close at hand, and turned her head to see that Sister Sheng Xi was also clenching her fists excitedly, jumping and jumping in place, and kept shouting the names of the two people in the field. Wen Xijun and the boys also looked at this "crazy" girl with stunned faces. As if feeling the hot gaze around him, Cui Shengxi stopped his movements embarrassedly and lowered his head with a slightly red face.
"Jang Woo-hyuk!" "Xu Canhao!" Cui Shengxi raised his head in surprise and looked at his brothers shouting support. reacted immediately and joined in, even Liu Xiuying was no exception. The people around heard their cries and understood that these two names should belong to the two people performing on the field, and they also began to shout along. Slowly, the momentum began to spread in all directions, causing rhythmic shouts to resound throughout the square.
Xu Canhao heard people shouting his name, enjoying the huge sound hitting his eardrums, even hitting the bottom of his heart. That's how I want to feel! I will definitely stand on a bigger and more brilliant stage, which belongs only to me! Xu Canhao tried to calm his excited emotions, tried to keep his voice steady, and accelerated the rhythm of the dance music.
Then, Moon Hee-jun and the others also came on the stage, and at the same time, the Remove dance troupe also came to the stage. But the two sides did not dance as expected, but followed Xu Canhao's rhythm and began to cooperate on the stage. The dance of nearly 20 people, from fighting separately at the beginning, to gradually integrating into each other, and the more and more neat dance steps made the audience outside the arena applaud and scream. There are also individual dancers of each team, and independent dancers follow the trend, which makes the atmosphere on the field burst, and finally even the audience on the sidelines has joined in one after another. More and more people joined, making the whole dance venue club-like, which was unexpected. The dance of thousands of people is quite spectacular, and this may be the most concentrated and lively gathering of passers-by and streams in recent years. Later, the incident was reported in the press, although only in a small space.
Finally, the two groups met for dinner. Finally squeezed out of the crowd, one by one, still excited, hula poured into Xu Canhao's small shop where they ate noodles for lunch, and the store was squeezed into the water. The strength of the shouting scared the aunt and almost called the police. During the banquet, because Xu Canhao and their side were not adults, they could only watch the removal of them and drink in full swing. Gradually, the two parties became acquainted, and even Choi Sung-hee began to ask the blonde girl for advice, and Jang Woo-hyuk and Seo Chan-ho undoubtedly became the subject of everyone's conversation. Xu Canhao's B-Box has brought a huge shock to people, and some people even want to learn from a teacher. Jang Woo-hyuk's spirituality when dancing, as well as his understanding of dance, grasp of rhythm, creativity, etc., have become the object of praise from everyone. A pleasant dinner ended at the beginning of the day. If you don't want to end it, Jack is already drunk and unconscious, and several of his teammates have also collapsed. After the group separated, Xu Canhao went home alone, and before leaving, Moon Hee-jun mysteriously told him that the five of them were going to make their debut.
