Time is passing little by little, and the start day of the New York Street Dance Competition is getting closer and closer!

At this time, many communities in the New York City area have begun to gradually spread a special atmosphere...... Belong to the breath of the dancers' war drums!

Early in the morning, Qi Lei and his members of the dance troupe did not go out immediately after breakfast to find the materials they expected to see for street performances, as they had done a few days ago.

Instead, they all stayed in their temporary shelters, and held a small meeting together to discuss the choreography of the dance steps they were going to perform at the street competition that would be held in two days!

Speaking of which, maybe everyone is thinking that hip-hop dance is not just a kind of dance that is free and unrestrained, and it is so simple as improvisation? Why do you need to choreograph the dance step column......

In fact, in this regard, many people are influenced by the storylines in the film and television works they watch on weekdays. In those stories, the dancers are unrestrained and free to improvise a series of cool and dazzling dance steps, which will make people think that street dancing is like this, as long as you swing your body to the music and dance some cool dance steps at will!

However, it's not that simple!

Street dance is a kind of dance that is quite free and unrestrained, and guided by the heart! But it is precisely for this reason that hip-hop dancers have a more complex and difficult choice of materials for their dance program before the performance, such as dance steps, styles, music types, scenes, clothing, etc., compared to other traditional dance genres!

After all, when selecting traditional dance materials, you only need to pay attention to choosing music and dance steps that are exclusive to your dance style, and you can create a classic dance performance!

But hip-hop dance is different, because hip-hop emphasizes freedom, tolerance, and individuality! Therefore, the dance performance of hip-hop dance is all-encompassing...... Dance moves and music materials that you can think of, as long as they are useful for your performance, you can immediately use them for your own use!

In their daily choreography and creation, the dancers of hip-hop dance find a little inspiration for choreographing classic dance steps from thousands of music types and dance genre materials, so as to create a moving, cool and dazzling dance step that has been passed down for a long time!

At this time, the dancers of Qi Lei and his exclusive dance team are also doing this, the hardest, most headache, but the most proud thing for dancers!

For a whole day, the group did not step out of the gate.

When you are tired, you stop to take a break to watch TV and movies, drink boiled water when you are thirsty, and eat two bites of the bento bought with the help of Qi Lei's agent KING. And when everyone had rested enough, everyone began a new round of discussion about all the details of the show! ……

At the end of the day, in this suite on the seventh floor of this building in New York's Chinatown, the noisy discussion never stopped. If anyone can see the scene inside, it will be a heated discussion initiated by everyone from time to time, plus someone will personally dance a dance step demonstration from time to time!

That fanaticism can stunned Qi Lei's agent Ah KING many times! ……

It is said that this kind of madman-like fanaticism can only be more manifested in some famous scientists and the like.

Can now be listed...... In the whole daytime today, Ah KING saw that Qi Lei and a group of dancers had different opinions on the details of the performance, and they were so noisy that their eyes were red and their necks were thick!

Maniacs, a bunch of madmen who go crazy for dancing! …… This is the only thought that comes to the mind of the agent Ah KING after he has been tired all day and finally rested and liberated.

Naturally, the results obtained by Qi Lei and others under such a fanatical discussion are correspondingly fruitful! …… At the end of the day, Qi Lei and the others finally roughly discussed three sets of dance steps for different styles of dance performances.

Now all that remains is that everyone must hurry up, perfect the details of the program and familiarize themselves with the tacit understanding between each of these three dance steps!

Of course, these are not in a hurry, and we can only use time to pile these up little by little until it is complete!

……

In the blink of an eye, it was just over 8 o'clock in the evening.

At this time, Qi Lei and all the dancers in his party were no longer in the residence, and they all walked up to the top floor of the building, and began to dance to the beat in the open space on the rooftop! …,

Just when their group was practicing hotly, Zhang Jie's phone in the dance troupe suddenly rang!

This was originally just a very ordinary call, but at this time, listening to the ears of everyone in the dance troupe, it was like a mouse seeing a cat, and all the hairs on the whole body stood up in an instant!

And when Qi Lei still didn't understand why all the supporting dancers were so frightened to stop practicing because of a call, after all the supporting dancers looked at each other, Zhang Jie walked aside with an excited mood, picked up his mobile phone and checked it.

After a few seconds, Zhang Jie raised his head and said to everyone expressionlessly: "It is the information of the organizing committee of the competition, the competition will be held at 8:30 p.m. tomorrow night in an abandoned factory building in Manhattan, New York." ”

Although this hip-hop dance competition has the appearance of sponsors and has a certain commercial atmosphere, the hip-hop dance competition process is still carried out according to the old tradition!

The venue and time of the competition will not be known to the participating dance troupes or spectators until the organizing committee of the competition has been decided.

And these are the day or two before the start of the competition, the competition organizing committee sent a text message to notify these people one by one.

So this is another feature of American street dance culture! ……

Then again, when the news was that the date of the competition was confirmed, everyone fell silent!

Everyone had a bit of a solemn look on their faces, and they were silent for a long time with a slightly frightened sense of nervousness! ……

Finally, after a long while, someone finally spoke. It's Qi Lei, and at this time, he can't afford to retreat half a step.

So he calmed down his slightly excited feelings and said, "Hey, brothers! Everyone has heard it, tomorrow is the opening day of the competition...... But if we go to the tournament in the way we are now, I don't think it's enough, and we will definitely lose! At this point, all the dancers bowed their heads and were speechless.

After looking at everyone, Qi Lei continued: "Because, we haven't done enough now!" We need to do better, and we need to try to extract the essence of what we are most familiar with and what we are best at in training, and sublimate it...... Yes, brothers! We're not here to participate... It's about winning the !! So for that purpose, brothers and sisters...... Let's start a war and go to war!! ~”

At the end, Qi Lei's eyes froze. A strange light with a strong frenzy and intensity flickered in his eyes, and he could see that all the supporting dancers in front of him were as if they had been shocked by electricity, and they were numb and excited.

At this time, Qi Lei suddenly stretched out his right hand forward and spread his palm down and said, "Dance!" Brothers and sisters...... Imprint the dance steps that belong to our Chinese in the hearts of the people of this foreign land!! ”

"Roar, roar, roar, ......" Qi Lei's words suddenly aroused all the dancers, the most sensitive string in their hearts. At this time, each of them was so excited that they didn't know how to express the emotion in their hearts, so they could only roar a few times to vent the uneasy mood in their hearts.

After waiting for a while, when everyone calmed down a little. Nie Yongyuan opened his mouth and asked Qi Lei at this time: "Then Qi Lei, our dance troupe should also have a name if it participates!" So what should we call it? ”

"yes, what's the name?" For a while, all the dancers lowered their heads and pondered, what should be the name of the dance company!

However, Qi Lei already had a case for this, so he smiled and said to everyone: "Phantom! …… With my dancing posture, like the back of a person, it is as subtle as the back of a person, but it is really stored around everyone!! Phantom Dance Company, what do you think? ”

"Phantom Dance?"

"Phantom?"

After reading the name several times, the dancers all nodded in agreement!

"Good, good name! Phantom Dance Troupe, haha...... Lao Tzu is the Phantom! ”

"The shadow of a man? I like it!!! ”

"Hee-hee, that sounds pretty good!"

And after getting the unanimous consent of all the members of the dance company, this exclusive dance team of Qi Lei finally has an iconic name of their own!

However, what they didn't know at this time was...... In the near future, the name Phantom Dance Company will be more than just a star's exclusive dance team!

At the same time, they are also a group of star actors in a movie that is popular all over the world and brings a wave of singing and dancing!

And this qiē is all thanks to the professional DV body that was held in Qi Lei's hand at this time and started shooting from time to time, and was previously bought for the members of the dance troupe to better learn hip-hop culture.

Because when everyone didn't notice it, they thought that Qi Lei had been making a documentary. As a director, Qi Lei already had the mentality of directing a drama at this time, and then used all the shooting techniques he knew very seriously and meticulously to record what he and everyone in the dance troupe had experienced during this time.

And his purpose is to make the first film of his life - the song and dance film "Dance Out of My Life" in the form of a pseudo-documentary!

At this time, Qi Lei is excited, excited, and excitedly looking forward to the highlight of his trip to the United States tomorrow night!

Standing on the roof of the 15-storey building, Qi Lei looked at the starry sky with a playful smile and thought in his heart: Tomorrow, let me create a miracle of zào!! …… I'm looking forward to it! ~~
