Chapter 229: Determining the Repertoire

Bei Bei has developed very smoothly in Europe in recent years, and has risen from lead dancer to leading actor in the shortest time, and has always used the name Vera.lina.Paolo, and has also gained popularity in a small area. But the ballet circle is too small after all, and it is impossible to achieve the point where the name immediately appears on people's faces.

She rehearses and tours with the troupe while going to school, and the schedule is very busy, and unnecessary people basically don't interact, so there are rumors that she is arrogant and rude; In addition, every performance gives people unexpected surprises, and more and more people appreciate her, but she is too low-key, and people who do not cooperate have no way of knowing her personality and character, and there are more and more rumors. But the more mysterious people are, the more curious people are about her, but no one knows her true information so far.

Once a magazine made an appointment to interview the dance troupe and wanted to make a big report on her, but unfortunately Bei Bei pushed it down. In the end, I simply left a small introduction in the corner of the magazine, and the content was prepared by Lisa according to Beibei's very simple, with only a few stage stills.

Zhang Ming looked at the tall girl standing in front of him in surprise, and said in surprise: "Beibei? ”

The other party smiled and nodded: "Hello Mr. Zhang, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

"Great, I didn't expect it to be you who invited this time." She excitedly stepped forward and hugged her tightly, and then said with a smile: "If it were you, then I would be relieved to open the show." ”

Bei Bei replied in a relaxed tone: "Teacher Zhang's eloquence is getting better and better, but I'm afraid that I will live up to your high expectations." As the saying goes: when I am young, it is not necessarily better, and it is possible that when I grow up, I am not as spiritual as before. ”

Zhang Ming smiled and patted her hand: "The first time I saw you." I knew it was okay, that the kind of situation you were talking about didn't exist. Why haven't you come back for a few years, do you have any good repertoire? ”

The two chatted in an intimate and skillful tone, Zhang Ming asked excitedly, and Bei Bei replied lightly.

Fei Bo looked at this delicate girl like a Russian doll in surprise, he has been engaged in this industry for many years, and he has seen many natural girls, but this has an extremely strong visual impact on him, and his every move is elegant and natural.

He suppressed the emotions in his heart, his eyes shuttled back and forth between the two, and asked with a smile, "Zhang Tuan and Ms. Vera are very familiar?" ”

Zhang Ming said with a smile: "Vera's Chinese name is Beibei. When I was a child, I spent some time in our dance class. is Zhou Jing's fellow countryman, and I have also guided it in the future. If the dance troupe had the conditions it has now, I would never have let her go abroad and teach it myself. She was born for ballet. ”

For Zhang Ming's proud protΓ©gΓ© Zhou Jing. Fei Bo knows him well. I have worked together before, but unfortunately that stage accident caused a star to fall. He joked: "It seems that there are a lot of ballet talents in T City, wasn't Teacher Liu of your troupe also from T City before?" I think next year will beckon to hold one in T City. Definitely find good seedlings. ”

Zhang Ming was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Beibei, her reaction was unusually calm, she shouldn't know who Fei Bo was talking about. She breathed a sigh of relief in her heart and immediately said: "Don't you say that I don't think that there are really a few people in the troupe dance school who are from T City." Recently, I've been worried about the problem of the source of life, and Fei Dao's proposal is good. ”

Fei Bohaha smiled and asked Zhang Ming to treat him to thank him for his ideas.

Bei Bei actually knew that the teacher they were talking about was actually Liu Huiwen, according to Gu Xiangnan, although she left the dance troupe after she got married, she never left the ballet circle, and she can be seen in many activities.

Fei Bo still wanted to continue chatting, but Zhang Ming diverted the topic: "Oh, time is pressing, let's go up to the third floor to confirm the show first, and I'll have a good chat when I have a treat in the evening." ”

Fei Bo was also anxious about this matter, and agreed without the slightest hesitation. Zhang Ming looked at Bei Bei inquiringly, and she smiled and nodded.

"You said that you were preparing for the opening performance of this evening by the famous Russian ballerina Anna. Pavlova's successful masterpiece "Thedyingswan"? Fei Bo repeated incredulously, and then frowned: "I personally don't think this is suitable, such a celebratory festival, is your choice "The Death of the Swan" too sad." ”

"The Death of the Swan" is choreographed by Fokine and the famous Russian ballet dancer Anna Murphy. Pavlova was invited by the Petersburg Royal Opera House to perform a solo dance at a concert held in the Noble Guild. The music is based on the thirteenth piece of the Carnival of the Animals suite by the French composer Saint-SaΓ«ns (1835-1921), the Swan on cello and piano.

The dance faithfully maintains the tradition of classical ballet, combining performance and technique with poetic inspiration. By depicting the expression of a dying swan eager to regain its wings, struggling alone on the calm surface of the lake, and finally dying silently, it symbolizes the spirit of human beings in the relentless struggle against death and fate in real life.

Of course, Bei Bei knows that Chinese people love the tunes of festive and cheerful atmosphere, but there are really not many ballets that are festive, and she chose this repertoire mainly to be lazy, she will use this repertoire to compete next month, and she doesn't want to bother to change the repertoire and rehearse again.

She looked sideways at Zhang Ming, who bowed his head and didn't say a word, and asked, "What does Teacher Zhang think?" ”

Zhang Ming thought for a while and said: "Actually, it's not impossible to choose this repertoire, the swan's fighting spirit of unremitting resistance to fate before dying is very topical." I've seen the 1964 version performed by Natalia Makarova, and the rhythm is very fast, and the music is more exciting, and I think it's perfectly fine. ”

Fei Bo thought for a while and pointed to the program list in his hand and asked: "But how to get this title, Chinese people always taboo to kill such words." "Especially those leaders, who are the most superstitious, if they commit taboos, they will be in trouble.

Bei Bei thought that he was thinking about his own skills, but he didn't expect it to be such a trivial matter, and said with a smile: "If this is the case, then directly use English to sign, and the solo dance "Swan" in Chinese is; The name of this dance was originally called "The Swan", but it was later changed to "The Death of the Swan" for the sake of distinction. ”

Zhang Ming thought about it and nodded, and wrote the repertoire in the blank space of the program list with a pen: "Well, it's decided." Fei Bo wanted to say something more, but when he thought of VW Group's large sponsorship fee, he could only accept it quietly.

Seeing that Fei Bo had some doubts, Bei Bei began to say: "Actually, I have been preparing this performance for more than half a year, in order to participate in the Paris International Ballet Competition. To that end, Lisa and I made some changes to the tune and the expression; I don't like the intense emotions of the opera, it should be more subtle. ”

After saying that, she opened her backpack and taught Fei Bo the CD, and then began to change her clothes, put on her leggings and socks, and made warm movements.

The mournful sound of the cello, the slow dancing of Babe, the gentle and graceful movements, made the audience hold their breath, if there were any objections and doubts dissipated in her wonderful presentation, and one can imagine the shock of the audience on the day of the evening.
