Chapter XXXVII

May 1 is International Labor Day, which has been practiced for decades. The whole of Switzerland is also almost closed, with most shops closed except for a few shops.

There are no holiday promotions like in China, and on weekends, 90 percent of the shops are closed, and even restaurants are open. In addition to foreign-related tourism and basic services, everyone enjoys their own holidays.

It is also for this reason that the Geneva Dance Competition, held at the Victoria Theatre, attracts countless audiences to buy tickets. The auditorium, which was empty two days ago, is now hard to find.

In this, Audrey and Stephanie also contributed part of their role, and in the past two days, the two of them have become famous in Switzerland.

Since the semi-finals, their dance style, which is completely different from traditional dance, has attracted countless media comments. Modern dance is not unusual, but it is strange that they have matured this dance genre so that everyone can feel the charm of modern dance.

Therefore, in the past two days, the Swiss media has been highly praised for their dances, and more audiences have been attracted to see this emerging dance.

Even Kelly and Glewin had come to Geneva from Lucerne to cheer up the two girls, along with Stephanie's parents and her siblings.

Fortunately, Zhou Nan had already bought the tickets, otherwise, when they came to Geneva, they would have been hard to find.

The two girls were also very excited, they hadn't slept well the night before, and in the morning, Zhou Nan saw that they were not energetic, discussed with the teacher, canceled the rehearsal, and let them sleep well in their rooms.

After lunch, the two girls began to move their bodies, but they did not rehearse all the time, but just maintained the coordination and activity of their bodies, and wanted to present their best state to everyone.

At 6 p.m., the final round officially began, and the theater, which can accommodate nearly 1,000 people, was packed. The audience stage on the third floor is stacked in a fan-shaped shape, and nearly 1,000 spectators make the whole hall extremely noisy.

Stephanie has an older brother, two older sisters, and a younger brother. She has also been the pride of everyone in her family and has made a name for herself in Lucerne since she was seven years old.

But after she developed, her height caused her to leave the ballet stage, which became a regret for their family. But now, they are proud of this daughter again.

Stephanie's younger brother is a very lively boy, and he has an unusual admiration for Zhou Nan, a celebrity, and has been curiously asking him about his past experiences before the opening. It wasn't until the start of the game that he quieted down.

Only three groups of the Contemporary Dance performance group made it to the finals, and the first, second and third places will be determined after the competition. This event was originally before the ballet competition, but because Audrey and the others are now the top stars of the competition, they were ranked last in tonight's competition.

Nearly three hours of competition, although long, but by no means boring. A variety of different dances were performed by the contestants in various ways, and thunderous applause rang out from time to time in the hall of the theater.

The time finally came to the end, and as soon as Audrey and Stephanie, who appeared as the finale, appeared, they aroused warm applause from the audience.

Needless to say, Audrey's delicate beauty became the darling of the media as early as two days ago, especially her status as Zhou Nan's fiancée, which also added a lot of glory to her.

"Memories", which is now popular in Europe, was specially created for her by Zhou Nan. The love story of the two of them also adds a lot of romance because of this song.

And Stephanie was not overshadowed by Audrey's brilliance, in Zhou Nan's opinion, her expressiveness in dancing is actually better than Audrey.

Coupled with her thin face, rich facial features, and the cold style that Zhou Nan deliberately let her show, she also received a lot of praise.

In today's final, two girls wore loose and flowing hakama in addition to tight ballet tops, which had appeared in the Middle Ages but did not become popular.

But as soon as they appeared today, Zhou Nan was thinking that the hakama might spread from now on.

After the two girls held hands and bowed to the first row of judges and the audience, the lights on the stage went out. But the music didn't make the audience worry that there was a problem with the circuitry at the scene, but just let out a burst of exclamation.

A beam of light shone down, and in the beam, Audrey's delicate body was half-lying on the floor, as if swaying gently in the wind. Then she began to dance her body softly, her movements were not too big, and she deliberately showed a kind of delicateness.

Then, the beam of light on her body went out, and she disappeared from the stage again. Another beam of light lights up, and a unisex dressed Stephanie appears on stage.

Her movements are sonorous and powerful, her movements open and close, and she also jumps and flips on the stage, and all kinds of difficult movements cause bursts of amazement.

The lights went out again, and when they came back on, the two girls were already standing together. They have been rehearsing for several months, and they are already very skilled in this dance.

In the amazement of everyone, the friendship of the two girls, separation, nostalgia, reunion, separation again, and finally to the last part of the dance - memory.

The performance was a great success, and after their performance, the entire audience stood up and applauded, which was almost the highest compliment.

Because it's a competition, and it's not like a song with an encore, back to the stage.

The two girls were also very excited, bowing in front of the audience. Zhou Nan, who was sitting behind the judges, could easily see Audrey's tender eyes falling on him.

Stephanie couldn't help but have some tears in her eyes when she saw her family applauding with satisfaction, but this tears of joy were more pleasing to the judges.

There was no suspense, their performance won the championship of modern dance without any suspense, and even the troupe contacted them directly to sign a contract with the two of them.

However, the two girls were unwilling to be restricted, because Zhou Nan had already pointed them out to another broader path from the beginning.

Now that they sign a contract with the troupe, although their income is stable, they will always be limited to this level, and it will be difficult for them to develop higher in the future.

In Zhou Nan's plan, the two girls will continue to choreograph more dances, and then go to the United Kingdom, or even the United States, not only to continue to enrich themselves, but also to completely build their fame.

Audrey's future development path will not be limited to modern dance, Zhou Nan's path planned for her is to use modern dance to become famous, and then go to London to study stage plays, practice acting skills, and develop into film in the future.

As for Stephanie, she has no interest in developing outside of dance and is now bent on going to the United States to continue enriching herself in the birthplace of modern dance.

But she also knows that her fame is not enough, and if she doesn't want to be obscure, then she needs to continue to strengthen herself. And Zhou Nan is their best known teacher, although Zhou Nan's own research in this area is not deep, but there is no stronger critic than him.

With him by his side, the two of them will clearly know where they are deficient, and there will be no detours.

What's more, the two of them have to continue to go to school.

"Rest for a few days and then continue rehearsals. During the summer, I will take you with me to London, where you will have more opportunities to learn. ”

In the newspaper the next day, photos of Audrey and Stephanie receiving the award were printed on the entertainment page. The two of them are completely famous in Switzerland.

The media have fully affirmed their role in the creation of modern dance, believing that they have completely separated modern dance from classical dance and become a separate genre.

At the celebration banquet after the competition, the two girls also received the most attention and received the most invitations to perform.

Their teacher, Belp, consulted with Zhou Nan and decided to accept some invitations to perform without affecting their studies. On the one hand, it can increase their performance experience, and more importantly, the two of them can also have an income.

Audrey's thirst for money is not so strong, because everything she has been arranged by Zhou Nan well, and she is not short of money. But Stephanie is just an ordinary girl, her family's help is limited, and everything is on her own.

With the income, she was able to buy beautiful clothes, buy a record player, decorate the dance studio, and rehearse in her own home. It is not necessary to go to Zhou Nan's house to have better rehearsal conditions.

At noon on May 2, the organizing committee of the competition hosted a banquet for all the contestants, and since then, this year's dance competition has come to a successful conclusion.

Audrey and Zhou Nan originally planned to take advantage of the holiday to have a few days of fun, but they were only invited by Nord to take his yacht across Lake Geneva to his home in Evian.

Since 1790, Evian has become one of Europe's most famous spa towns and one of the most popular holiday destinations for France's wealthy.

Zhou Nan met Mayeri's son Noble and realized that he had also found himself in trouble.

Although Noble has no physical problems, he is a severe autistic person, such a little guy is not even comfortable seeing anyone, let alone inheriting the business of the Jean Nord family.

Mayerry still has a daughter, but she is younger, only seven years old this year. If you want to wait for them to grow up, it will take at least ten or twenty years.

Zhou Nan also asked Stolko about Jean Nord behind his back, this guy has been a playboy since he was a child. When he was young, he was plagued by venereal diseases, and it was not until he was in his forties that he was cured.

He also got married like a normal person, but in less than ten years, the poor woman was tossed to death by him.

The deformed family environment caused his son's illness, but fortunately he noticed this and isolated the two children from his chaotic life, so that his daughter did not become like his son.

This little girl is smart and clever, and she quickly became good friends with Audrey, and she was very close to Audrey, and she didn't even want to be separated when she slept.

Seeing this made Nord even happier. Originally, his focus was on Zhou Nan, but now in order to cultivate the relationship between his daughter Melissa and Audrey, on the fourth day, Audrey's birthday, he gave Audrey countless extravagant gifts.

And Zhou Nan, the fiancé, is not as rich as Jean Nord, and a Chinese meal he made by himself has won the hearts of more people.
