506 I Am the Queen (2nd Watch)
Meiyu quietly patrolled every corner of the locker room, everything in front of her was both familiar and unfamiliar, similar to the chaotic backstage of the runway show, and the hectic fight before the concert began, but obviously, the chaos in front of her was different from the show and the concert.
Mei Yu glanced around and found the problem, some people were doing hairstyles, some people were putting on makeup in the mirror, and more people were looking at their shoes, ballet shoes.
After Mei Yu received the script, PETER prepared a detailed introduction to the ballet dancers, there are two kinds of ballet shoes, pointe shoes and soft-soled shoes, as the name suggests, pointe shoes are naturally used when dancing on tiptoe, and soft-soled shoes are used for ordinary practice.
At this time, as far as the eye can see, everyone is holding a pair of pointe shoes in their hands, some people are holding them in front of their eyes to watch carefully, and some people are putting them on and off, taking off and putting them on, over and over again.
Looking closely, someone even held a needle in one hand and a thread in the other, sewing and sewing the shoes, and Mei Yu knew that this was stitching the ribbon.
Before dancing, the ribbon that holds the shoe in place is to be tied with a beautiful cross on the top of the foot, then a buckle on the inside, and then the ribbon is cut off, and the ribbon head is carefully tucked into the shoe, the reason why it is done so carefully is to maintain the beauty of the legs.
Imagine sneakers with no laces.
Someone else was violently breaking the toes of their shoes, and even put down their shoes, and their feet were stomping vigorously on them, and the girl next to her came over: "Susan, how did you buy a new pair of shoes?" ”
Susan looked aggrieved, "The old shoes were dirty yesterday, and I haven't had time to brush them yet." ”
The girl slapped Susan's head with a laugh and a smile: "Stupid, who told you to be so lazy." ”
Susan didn't answer again. Bow your head and concentrate on playing with the shoes in your hands.
Meiyu knows that after getting the new shoes, you must first make the upper tips softer, and then wear them every day to make them more comfortable, and the old shoes are always more comfortable than the new shoes.
And these ballet dancers, in order not to make mistakes when performing, often wear a pair of half-worn shoes when they are performing.
Mei Yu leaned against the wall, slowly slid down, and sat on the floor, everything in front of her faintly touched her.
There seems to be a ballerina. In front of her, there are thousands of incarnations, and everyone here shows one of her movements, between these different movements. There is also a context to be found.
The rainy season is like drinking a cup of Longjing before the rain, each sip has a different taste lingering on the tip of the tongue, bitter and fragrant, and a little astringent ☆ After the residue, it is a wisp of fragrance.
Shoe. It is the second life of these ballet dancers, the crutches of the lame, the guide dogs of the blind, the indispensable intimate lovers.
Looking at the way they walked, the smell of raising their hands and feet, even if it wasn't in this dressing room, even if they were walking down the street in civilian clothes, Mei Yu could be very sure that she would recognize the occupations of these girls at a glance.
The chin is slightly raised, and the neck is slender and straight. A tall chest, a leaning back, and straight legs. All of them show the characteristics of their professions.
And also......
Mei Yu's eyes drooped, and she saw that their unique figure-of-eight feet ♀ were probably the only unelegant feature of the upper ballet dancers.
Due to the wide opening and closing of ballet movements, the actors have to use the figure eight to jump at all times, and the figure eight feet have become a characteristic of them.
Gradually, in Mei Yu's focused eyes, the chaotic scene in front of her changed, and many ballet dancers, no matter what kind of movements they were doing, slowly retreated from her sight, and the ballerina in her eyes was finally left with only one figure.
She walked slowly towards the plum rain, with a smile on her face and an elegant figure, even if she stepped on her figure-eight feet, she still made people feel beautiful.
Meiyu chuckled lowly, ballet dancer?
With one hand on the ground, she stood up and walked slowly behind the mirror, where there were many ballet costumes, and some of the girls were trying them on.
Mei Yu's slender fingers slid lightly over the dance costumes, and she read softly in her mouth, checking the numbers of these dance costumes.
She fingered, picked up the medium-sized ballet, her nimble fingers danced on her body, and after a while, she was left with only her underwear, without the slightest intention of concealing it, and the rainy season slowly put on the ballet dress she had chosen, knocked her heels, and walked outside.
As he walked, he took off his hat, and his long silky hair poured down, covering half of his face, intentionally or unintentionally.
Susan was stepping on her shoes angrily, tilted her head, and saw Mei Yu coming over, she was slightly stunned, Mei Yu had already opened her mouth to say hello: "Susan, do you want to help?" ”
Susan looked at Meiyu in confusion, and replied in confusion, "No." ”
Meiyu smiled at her, revealing a row of shiny teeth.
Susan stared at Mei Yu's distant figure, and said to herself, "Have you invited foreign aid in the regiment again?" ”
Meiyu shuttled through the crowd, stopping from time to time, consciously or unconsciously responding to the questions of others: "Yes, I just came." "Yes, group dancers."
In the midst of the piecemeal conversation, the door was suddenly pushed open, this door was different from the door where Mei Yu entered, it was located in the other direction of the locker room, and after opening the door, it was enough for four people to be in parallel.
A woman with gold-rimmed glasses, wearing a white dark stripe shirt and a miniskirt, stood at the door and shouted, "Girls, hurry up, get ready to play." ”
The girls were busier, and Susan quickly put her shoes on her feet, tied the ribbons, and jumped on her tiptoes twice, and her toes hurt a little.
Mei Yu walked back again, and her right hand was stretched out in front of Susan, and there was a band-aid and a painkiller lying quietly on the palm of her hand, which she had brought when she was chatting with the others just now.
Susan smiled awkwardly and said regretfully, "Thank you, but it's too late." ”
Mei Yu shrugged her shoulders and silently withdrew her hand.
Susan sat in front of the mirror, the ballet dancer's hair is relatively easy to handle, as long as it is coiled, the front must be combed smooth, sometimes the hairstylist is not enough, the actors comb each other's hair.
Meiyu picked up the comb and gestured, and Susan nodded: "Thank you." ”
The comb in Mei Yu's hand gently slid between Susan's hair, the child's hair was thick and dense, and it could be combed to the end with a single comb, but it was a pity that the ballet dancer always contributed to the audience only a smooth forehead.
In the process of combing her hair, the two of them talked softly, and it could be seen that Susan was very nervous, her eyes followed Mei Yu's eyes in the mirror, and she kept asking: "How many years have you been studying ballet?" "Is this coming here a cameo?" "What role do you play?"
Plum Rain replied to her in a low voice, Susan was a very lively girl, and soon began to explain her own experience: "We are both apprentices at the Royal Ballet Academy, and we have a performance assignment every year, and this is our exam, and only if we pass can we become full-fledged students. ”
"We have a 20-to-1 elimination rate, and only five out of 10 regular students graduate and join major ballet companies."
Susan exhaled and looked at the rain with some trepidation.
Her hair was pulled up by the rainy season, and her hair was covered with a thin braid, like a small crown, reflecting the beautiful face of the girl.
Mei Yu noticed Susan's hesitation, she stretched out her slender hands, put Susan's head on her head, and forced her to look at herself in the mirror: "Susan, look, look at yourself, what a charming girl this is, remember?" The days of training alone, the days of starvation, the worn-out dancing shoes, piling up, the hard work pays off, you are the queen, you will definitely pass,"
Susan looked in the mirror, her shining eyes, as if hypnotic, repeating the words of the plum rain, "I am the queen, I will definitely pass,......"
She smiled and said confidently: "Yes, I became a trainee and eliminated hundreds of people to come in, thank you, what's your name?" ”
Mei Yu propped up the table with one hand, her head raised, her hair was parted to the side of her cheeks like water, revealing a beautiful face, looking at Susan with a pair of dark eyes, she bloomed a beautiful smile, and said confidently: "AY, my name is AY." ”
Susan suddenly felt that this Asian girl named AY was a little familiar, but she couldn't remember it for a while, and in a trance, the girl who had spoken to her before ran over, grabbed Susan's arm and shouted: "Susan, you are grinding again, hurry up, the teacher is urging!" ”
Susan ran out with the girl, and halfway through, she couldn't help but glance back, only to see that the girl who had just helped her pull her hair had already sat in her place, and her two slender hands lifted the scattered hair and coiled it up for herself.
At a glance, I could only see the slender fingers flexibly interspersed, the hair was as black as midnight, and a fair neck seemed to be exposed.
Susan couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, that girl, how could she be so confident and elegant, it reminded her of Ann in the same grade, although Ann is also a trainee, but she has been set by the academy early and has become a student who must be promoted, every time she rehearses Swan Lake, Ann always plays the white swan's one.
And this girl named AY, every move, seems to be much more elegant than Ann.
Susan suddenly had a strong curiosity, wanting to see what kind of performance this foreign aid called AY would have, her ballet, must be amazing!
Years later, when Susan stood on the stage of the Royal Theatre, she would still recall the Asian girl's confident proclamation, "AY, my name, it's AY!" ”
Then, she would close her eyes and cheer herself up in the tone of AY: "I'm the queen, I can definitely do it!" ”
Then, unstoppable.
