Chapter 467: Four Little Swans

Harry and Ron, who were expecting them to take a test, were rejected and froze.

This. And that succeeded?

At the very least, you have to take an assessment, right?

A smile immediately appeared on Malfoy's face, and before he could speak, Tory continued:

"Hurry up, go to the locker room immediately, there are still twenty minutes before the show starts, hurry up and put on makeup and clothes, and put out the fire!"

"Skirt??? Why do we wear skirts??? ”

Ron had a ballet suit in his hand and a horrified expression, Harry was similar to him, he looked like he had eaten a slice of lemon with a huge acid.

The whole face wrinkled together: "This is such a bad thing, I'd rather die than wear a skirt!" ”

(Harry Potter Daniel pictured below)

Malfoy's face was as white as a piece of paper at the moment, the corners of his mouth twitching, he thought about many possibilities, he thought about many kinds of dance.

He thought about the performance situation on the stage, but he never expected that this dance troupe was actually dancing that damn ballet!!

There are many female dancers in ballet, and although there are male backup dancers, they are never the protagonists.

So when he saw the recruitment of three male dancers, Malfoy took it for granted that it was another type of dance.

But how could Malfoy know that there is such a strange dance company in New York, and this dance company is well-known among dance practitioners in New York and even in the United States, and he never thought that there would be dancers who did not know him.

A brilliant misunderstanding was born.

The crowd at the Mets Arena were already laughing to tears, slapping their thighs frantically and leaning back in laughter as they watched the Hogwarts trio stay in their small room.

Holding a white ballet dress in his hand, there is a sense of joy of 'holding hands and looking at tears in his eyes, but he is speechless and choking'.

But even so, Malfoy's mouth was still hard:

"It doesn't matter, ballet is ballet, it's dedication to art! It's great, it's sublime, it's full."

Malfoy couldn't say any more, for Ron brought up another one with a mixed expression of shock, disgust, confusion, and pain. Bandeau".

The pony was silent for a moment, and his face turned even paler, like a dead man, and he muttered:

"Guys me. I. There's one thing I want to tell you."

Ron pinched the corner of his clothes with two fingers, as if pinching something foul and threw it away.

"What's the matter?" Harry took his gaze back from the clothes.

"That. The agreement we just signed has liquidated damages of ten times the salary, about $3,000. ”

Malfoy lowered his head, he didn't dare to look at the two good brothers, at this moment the pony had fallen into deep self-doubt, he didn't understand how his always smart and cautious self could not ask what the dance was.

Instead, the agreement was signed.

Could it be that I've been with Potter and Ron for too long and I'm assimilating a bit?

"What?"

“3000？？？”

Harry and Ron's voices were a little out of tune, the three of them combined were only $300, and now the 3,000 penalty was not killing them?

"I'm sorry! I- I'll wait for my fault, what are you doing? ”

Malfoy looked up tremblingly, only to find that Ron and Harry had picked up their ballet suits and started taking off their coats.

The two of them looked at Malfoy through gritted teeth, and their voices seemed to come out of their teeth:

"Shame on me in a ballet costume and $3,000, I'd rather go for a ballet!"

"Everyone is working hard to make money, and if they pay us liquidated damages for their hard-earned money, I will not forgive myself if I die."

Ron and Harry sadly imagined their friends washing dishes in a café, working as waitresses, picking up other people's things in a restaurant, or handing out flyers in the open air

Cents and cents were saved, but all this money was lost because of their own mistakes.

"We've had two great rounds in a row, and with the decisive round giving us a big advantage, we have a good chance of giving Hogwarts more honour than ever before!

It's just a ballet! ”

Harry's tragic speech ignited the flames in the hearts of Malfoy and Ron, and they walked to the locker room with their clothes on their hands and with the expressions of death on the execution ground.

It's just that this scene that looks supposed to be very bloody is really funny in the eyes of the audience.

The tournament organisers were very creative in spreading the scenes of the rest of his teammates around Harry while he spoke.

Not only did Hermione not have to spend money on room and board, but his boss was eager to give her a raise after a very comfortable matching.

Cedric has already put on a robe similar to a wizard's robe, but with a more elaborate turtleneck, and his already handsome face is painted with makeup, even in front of Brad Pitt and Tom Hanks, two of Hollywood's top men, they are quite resistant.

The female agent who brought him to the audition was about to turn into a star-eyed person, and she couldn't wait to eat him with that look.

Not to mention that Cedric was already a pretty good little wizard, and he showed the kind of vampire that Muggles imagined, that kind of grace, that kind of mystery, and special abilities to the fullest.

The director made a decision on the spot, and he was paid, with a salary of $20,000!

$20,000 is just an inconsequential supporting role, not even a few lines, just a vase, which is quite a high price.

(Vin Diesel participated in "Saving Private Ryan", playing Capazzo who was the first to hang up in the rescue team, with a salary of $100,000 in 1998)

Finally, there's Neville, whose income has come to a terrifying five thousand dollars, and continues to increase with the naked eye.

When he cleanly defeated one after another students who did not believe in evil, the kung fu craze that was paved by Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan's "Red Fan Zone" finally ushered in an explosion!

The white youths who had nothing to do were going crazy, waving dollars and crying and shouting to join the family.

Neville's scalp is numb, he's like a ruthless money-collecting machine, and those people will find their friends!

It's horrible!

So the audience watched the other three with high salaries, and looked at the 'three fools' who thought that $3,000 was going to empty the pockets of their companions.

The effect of the show is amazing!

"Hurry up, get ready to play! Today you are performing "Swan Lake", which is the basic skill of ballet, right? ”

Tolly waved his arms, looked at the three little wizards, and instructed:

"It's okay if you can't keep up with the rhythm or anything, as long as it's about the same, the most critical part is done by the lead dancer, you just have to dance normally."

In Tolly's mind, the four-man "Swan Lake" performance, the three of them as ballet dancers, must be familiar with it, and his own actors are responsible for the funny part.

For example, if you can't keep up with the rhythm, make a fool of yourself or something, it's all done by your own actors, which is very simple.

That's why Tolly didn't ask anything in such an urgent situation, and just asked them to prepare for the stage.

Malfoy, Harry, and Ron didn't even dare to breathe, but swallowed nervously.

"OK, get ready to hear the curtain call, and then play!"

The Lincoln Theatre, with its brilliant lights, eagerly awaited the start of the show.

As a perfect combination of humor and artistry, Ballet Tocardero is loved by many people.

The lights gradually dimmed, and the announcer said a few words before handing over the stage to the actors.

The curtain slowly opened.

The three of them were already posing, holding hands and crossing their legs.

This pose was also possible thanks to Malfoy's several visits to Swan Lake.

"What will I do later?"

Harry, who was standing on the right, pursed his lips and squeezed out a few words, and his face was smeared with blush, which looked unusually funny.

"You watch how I jump, you jump with me - even if you are blown away after jumping, you can't pay liquidated damages!"

Malfoy said the same from between his teeth.

Ron, who blinked his long false eyelashes and painted big red lips, was so heartbroken:

"This must be the stupidest thing I've ever done in my life"

With the beginning of Tchaikovsky's dance song "Swan Lake", the fourth song of the Four Little Swans, the light-hearted and lively music immediately resounded throughout the theater.

The audience sat up straight with great interest, staring intently at the stage.

"Let's go, jump!" It can only be said that Ma Gongzi is worthy of being a rich young master, and he actually looks like he jumps "kick jumping" and "light walking".

But Ron and Harry were miserable, they were stiff like robots, and they couldn't learn at all.

Alternate marching directly became a crab step.

Tory, who was next to the stage, held his head, looked at the two people who looked like frogs on the stage in disbelief, and blurted out a dirty word:

“WTF？？？？？？”

Finished! It was as if a basin of ice water had been poured down from his head, and the icy chill seeped into his bones, and the whole person was shaky.

He could see at a glance that the three of them didn't know ballet at all, and even Malfoy only knew the general movements, but they weren't ballet dancers at all.

What the hell is wrong with this world?

The reputation of the stage is about to be ruined!!

Even if it's a funny ballet, as a world-famous ballet company,

Relying on the support of the assistant, Tolly barely fell, and he said weakly:

"Hurry. Hurry up and prepare a letter of apology and compensation for us. It's over."

The dancer was trying his best to perform antics in front of him, such as trying to take a cross step in the air, but he 'accidentally' fell and couldn't get up from the ground.

Then there is the 'uncoordinated hands and feet' and the like, which he has done many times and is very proficient.

All in all, it's 'pretending to be a novice', performing three gods with three teammates, and the main thing is the sense of contrast.

After the lead dancer finished a set of movements, his heart sank, because whenever he finished it in the past, he could always hear the laughter and applause of the audience.

But this time there was nothing but sporadic sounds.

Could it be that this performance is smashed?

As he pondered, he got up from the ground and instinctively followed his plan for the next step of the show, preparing to join the others, holding hands for 'kick jumps and light walks'.

But when he turned around, the lead dancer was stupid.

What do I see?

The three of them were half-squatting like lap legs, holding hands, stiff like robots, as if they had just cut hemorrhoids, and were walking duck steps with a helpless face.

The lead dancer held his head in his hands, opened his mouth, and looked at the person opposite in a daze.

When did you change your performance plan? How did I not know?

At this moment, the audience suddenly erupted in violent laughter and applause.

The lead dancer turned his head to look at the audience, the whole person had lost the ability to think, he looked at the audience in confusion, no, why are you laughing, are we dancing very well?

Seeing him like this, the audience laughed even more violently, and they laughed forward and backward, clapping their hands vigorously.

A few viewers were still laughing and discussing with the audience around them:

"It's so much fun, and to be honest, Ballet Tocardero shows are fun, but they're always pretty much the same, and it's boring to watch too much.

If it weren't for the 20th anniversary, I wouldn't want to come here – I didn't expect them to have a new way to perform! ”

"Who's to say it's not, they seem to be competing against who can't jump, and the guy in front of him worked hard for a long time and felt that he must have won.

But look at the next three - hahahahahahahahaha ”

These laughter and applause were like a shot in the arm, and Tory, who was still panting for breath just now, suddenly stood up by himself, and carefully stuck his head out from the side to look at the stage.

I found that the audience was unusually happy, and the whole venue has become a sea of joy.

"Boss, why are they smiling so happily?" The assistant was similarly confused.

Yes, it's obviously a bad act, why are they so happy? Tory was lost in thought.

can only say that the boss is worthy of being the boss, and Tory suddenly had a flash of inspiration:

"I see!"

He looked at the assistant who was still confused, and hurriedly commanded:

"Let's not discuss the reason first, tell the lead dancer quickly, let him dance normally, don't pretend to be ugly!"

Soon the lead dancer received instructions, and although he didn't understand why, he still did it, and the lead dancer, who had just been like a beginner, suddenly became a master of dancing skills.

He spun and jumped, closed his eyes, and every dance was so graceful.

Sure enough, as the manager expected, the audience laughed like a wave.

Tolly's eyes shimmer with shrewdness, and the Tocardelo Ballet has always been known for its comedy, using contrasting means, but the audience will inevitably get tired of aesthetics.

For example, if they pretend to be beginners, even if they look alike, they still can't hide the fact that they are very good dancers.

There are some feelings and some movements that cannot be imitated, and only true novices can do them!

Those three daring boys made a mistake and made a sense of stiffness that they couldn't perform, which is of course exceptionally fresh for the audience, so of course this kind of scene is not an accident!

Good! That's great!

Stay!

Every minute and every second on stage felt like a torture to the Hogwarts trio, their brains blanked, and they would slip and fall to the ground as they spun in circles.

Especially when he was spinning in a big circle, because he came to the edge of the stage, Ron on the very edge had to jump off the stage, and he turned around below and climbed up with difficulty.

His actions caused the audience to laugh again.

By the time it was finally over, the three of them already felt that their souls had ascended to heaven.

The curtain slowly fell, and Malfoy walked in front with his head down, ready to accept his fate, and his only appeal was not to deduct liquidated damages.

"You're so bold!" Tolly's voice was unusually loud.

"I'm sorry—" Malfoy whispered, too low to hear.

"You guys are f**k geniuses! I'm going to give you a raise! ”

Yes?
