Entertaining Children

Chapter 912: Two Suggestions

After dividing the things, Xiao Yao went to Cheng Xi's and Zhou Jingyi's dance practice rooms under the leadership of Chen Sheng.

Cheng Xi's dance practice room is relatively close to Sun Tingting's dance practice room, and Xiao Yao went to Cheng Xi's first.

This show is called "Dancing with the Stars", which has the same name as a show that Xiao Yao knew in his previous life, but the competition format is different. In comparison, this show is more like the season of "Dancing Forest" where former stars and professional dancers collaborated.

In this program, the program group provides professional dancers as partners for celebrity guests, and also provides choreography teachers and dance instructors for each pair of partners. In addition, if required by the dance, the program group will also provide dancers to accompany the performance.

Here, professional dancer partners are also contestants of this program. The content of the first recording of the program is the assessment of star contestants and the mutual selection and matching with professional dancers. Once confirmed, this professional dancer partner cannot be replaced. But in terms of choreographer, dance teacher and dance group, celebrities still have a certain degree of autonomy, and they don't necessarily have to use the people provided by the program group.

There are singers among the celebrity guests, and singers want to hold concerts, and concerts often have performances that require dancing. Some singers have their own dance teams, with their own choreographers and instructors, while some have no dance teams, and some have cooperated more and are more familiar with dance teachers and backup dance teams. This program doesn't have a long time for the stars to practice dancing, so it's natural that the more familiar people are, the easier it is to cooperate. Considering the effect of stage performance, the program group allows participating stars to bring their own dance teams to participate in the program.

The performance stage at a concert is different from the performance stage of a dance variety show. The choreographers provided by the program group must consider the stage effects of variety shows when choreographing, and many of these choreographers are not the first time choreographers for this show. Better at it, so even if a celebrity brings his choreographer, he will not refuse the choreographer provided by the program group, but let the two work together to choreograph. While being more familiar with the stage of the show, while being more familiar with the technical capabilities of the stars, it can be regarded as the director of each exhibition.

The situation is different when it comes to the supporting dancers. There can be more people behind the scenes to discuss together and design dance moves, but the stage is so big, it is impossible to get too many people on it to be a dance group. Therefore, if a star uses his own dance team as a backup dance group, he does not need the dance group provided by the program group.

Although Cheng Xi is not a singer and has never held a concert, she used to be a member of the dance team, so she has her own dance team. When she came to participate in the show, she naturally used the members of the Chenxi Dance Troupe as backup dancers.

Xiao Yao knew that Cheng Xi would bring the Chenxi Dance Troupe to the show together, but after entering Cheng Xi's dance studio, he only saw Cheng Xi, his partner and a choreographer, not the Chenxi Dance Troupe. people. Reminiscent of the lack of backup dancers in Sun Tingting's practice room, Xiao Yao speculated that it might be that the dance types and themes of the first round of the show were not suitable for group dance.

But fortunately, the people from the dance troupe were not there, otherwise, the things Xiao Yao carried in his plastic bag might not be enough for a bottle of drink.

Of course, Cheng Xi was very happy about Xiao Yao's arrival. After introducing her partner and choreographer teacher to Xiao Yao, she also paused to take a break and chatted with Xiao Yao.

The first time Xiao Yao showed his ability to choreograph was in the Chenxi Dance Company. Cheng Xi is very clear about Xiao Yao's ability in choreography, and naturally he doesn't want to let it go easily when he meets him this time. After briefly chatting about the recent situation and caring about the progress of the filming of Xiao Yao's drama, Cheng Xi began to ask Xiao Yao.

"Since you're here, let me help you take a look." Cheng Xi said to Xiao Yao, "I'll dance the dance we choreographed for you in a while, and you can give me some advice before leaving!"

"The program team has already found such a professional choreographer for you, why do you need me?" Xiao Yao laughed.

"The choreographer is the choreographer, you are you!" Cheng Xi said,

"According to the rules of the program, we can ask our own choreographer for help. When our dance troupe applied for your studio to sign a contract with the dance troupe, you choreographed it for us. You can help me with some ideas." Oh. I don’t want you to help us make up a whole dance, but I just want you to take a look and give some suggestions.”

"Don't do it!" Xiao Yao shook his head resolutely, pointed to the camera in the dance studio and said, "In this show, you and Duo'er are competitors. Shall I help you choreograph? Come back after the show airs." Everyone will kneel down on the keyboard!"

"Haha~ Kneeling on the keyboard? Is Duoer so powerful?" Cheng Xi laughed happily, "I really can't imagine what that looks like!"

"Whether you want to kneel on the keyboard or not, you can't do this kind of thing!" Xiao Yao said.

"Okay, forget it, I won't embarrass you anymore!" After laughing, Cheng Xi said to Xiao Yao again.

"But if you want to talk about suggestions, I might really have them!" Xiao Yao suddenly said again.

"Huh? What?" Cheng Xi asked.

"What's the matter with the injury on your foot?" Xiao Yao looked down at Cheng Xi's foot.

Cheng Xi used to be good at modern dance and other academic dances when he was in the dance troupe, and he was used to dancing barefoot. The dance studio is not only covered with wooden floors, but also with mats. The dance she is practicing now is a modern dance, and she is practicing barefoot at this time. Not only did she not wear shoes, she also did not wear socks. Not long after Xiao Yao came in, he noticed obvious scars on Cheng Xi's feet.

"Oh, this!" Cheng Xi said indifferently, "I haven't danced for a long time. After I decided to participate in this show, I trained myself for a period of time and wanted to recover. I practiced a little bit at that time. Ermeng, suffered some injuries. But they are all skin traumas, nothing serious."

"It can be seen that it will not affect your movements." Xiao Yao nodded, and then asked, "Are you going to perform like this in tomorrow's competition?"

"Is there a problem?" Cheng Xi didn't quite understand.

"There is a problem!" Xiao Yao nodded and said solemnly, "It's best to deal with these scars before performing on stage!"

"Deal with it?" Cheng Xi looked at Xiao Yao and said.

"I know these bruises and scars won't heal in a day or two," Xiao Yao said, "I mean, either put on powder or wear socks, in short, cover them when dancing on stage, don't let the judges And the audience saw it."

"Why?" Cheng Xi asked puzzled, "I remember that when I was filming "The Tuner", I didn't have any injuries on my feet, but you still have to do special effects to make scars on my feet. I'm all real Why don't you let others see your scars?"

"Sister, it's different!" Xiao Yao said, "In the part where you danced in that short film, the character was in your own home, that is, in private. Of course, there is no need to cover up those injuries. On the contrary, these scars can reflect the character. Is a hard-working dancer. But what is the stage? That is where the performance is presented, not a pair of broken feet to tell others how hard the actor works. On the stage, a pair of damaged feet will only destroy the performance Beauty! If you meet a serious judge, this one can make you speechless on the spot!"

"Yeah!" Cheng Xi thought for a while and nodded.

"This is not an arrangement of the program group or an idea given to you by your manager after discussing with the program group, right?" Xiao Yao looked at the camera in the dance practice room and whispered while covering his mouth.

Cheng Xi wants to practice dancing, and it is inconvenient to hang a microphone on his body. In addition, the dance practice is indoors, so the program team used a microphone in the dance practice room to collect sound when following the filming, and Cheng Xi was not required to hang a collar on his body. Clip the microphone. When Xiao Yao came to visit the class this time, most of his activities were also indoors. The program team arranged for a camera with a microphone to listen to the sound, and did not ask Xiao Yao to hang a microphone on his body, so Xiao Yao covered his mouth and spoke in a low voice, but the program team could not receive it. Sound, at least not clear.

"What are you thinking?" Cheng Xi smiled, "I'm an actor now, not a dancer, so I wouldn't deliberately injure myself just to set up that kind of character! I really accidentally hurt myself during practice, my manager After seeing it, I suggested to the program team to let me show up like this when I performed, and the program team thought it was a highlight, so they agreed!"

"This is indeed a point to watch. Of course the program team agreed, anyway, you will be scolded at that time. It's not bad that they didn't offer to make you deliberately hurt for the sake of the program effect!" Xiao Yao said, "It can only be Tell your agent..."

"Forget it, let's not talk about it," Xiao Yao waved his hand, "My studio's agent, I can't say anything! And her starting point is also for your attention, I hope you will participate in the show and there will be topics and enthusiasm."

"Then who do I listen to?" Cheng Xi looked at Xiao Yao and asked.

"As I said, I'm just giving advice, whoever you want to listen to!" Xiao Yao said, "One side is the popularity of the topic, and the other is character, you choose yourself!"

"Hey, aren't you too irresponsible?" Cheng Xi said dissatisfied.

"If you really can't choose, you can call my mother!" Xiao Yao said, "She is your boss, I am not!"

"Ha!" Cheng Xi laughed, "If I said it was your suggestion, Sister Jiaying would definitely let me listen to you!"

"That's what my mother asked you to do, it has nothing to do with me!" Xiao Yao shrugged, "I'm just a suggestion!"

After making this suggestion, Xiao Yao felt that it was almost done, so he bid farewell to Cheng Xi: "Okay, that's all I want to say. I won't disturb your practice, I'm leaving. Come on!"

"Are you in a hurry to go to Duo'er?" Cheng Xi smiled and said, "You go, I won't pester you!"

"Duo'er has been there, the first one here is to go to her place." Xiao Yao said with a smile, "You are the second, I have to go to Jin's place to see."

"Yo, I'm in second place, I'm a little flattered!" Cheng Xi laughed.

"You think too much!" Xiao Yao laughed, "You and Jin have the same status in my heart, but your dance practice room is closer to Duo'er's dance practice room."

"I'm engaged to Duo'er, so I don't even want to say nice things!" Cheng Xi scolded with a smile, "Get lost!"

"Then I'm leaving!" Xiao Yao took two steps, then turned back and said, "By the way, I almost forgot, don't rush away after practice, let's have a meal together! I treat you!"

"You don't live with Duo'er?" Cheng Xi asked.

"Duo'er ordered!" Xiao Yao said, "Let me invite you and Jin to have dinner together after practice, I treat you!"

"You won't really become a wife slave, will you?" Cheng Xi smiled and shook her head, "Okay! I'll go to Duo'er's dance studio to find you after I finish my practice!"

After leaving Cheng Xi's dance practice room, Xiao Yao went to Zhou Jingyi's dance practice room again.

When seeing Xiao Yao, Zhou Jingyi screamed and rushed up to give Xiao Yao a hug. This kind of performance was much more enthusiastic and excited than when Cheng Xi met Xiao Yao, and it was almost comparable to when Sun Tingting saw Xiao Yao. However, the media has never exposed the scandal between Xiao Yao and Zhou Jingyi, and everyone in the program team knew that Zhou Jingyi was actually an American, and they all thought it was just that Zhou Jingyi, an American girl, was more outgoing and enthusiastic, but they didn't feel too much surprise.

Zhou Jingyi introduced her dance partner and choreographer teacher to Xiao Yao, and after the two parties exchanged simple greetings, they also took Xiao Yao to chat alone.

Xiao Yao also choreographed for Zhou Jingyi's torrent dance troupe back then, and even participated in competitions as one of them. Zhou Jingyi is also very clear about Xiao Yao's ability in dancing. However, Zhou Jingyi did not ask Xiao Yao to stay to watch her dance and give her opinions on her dance like Cheng Xi did, but asked Xiao Yao's opinions on other matters.

After a simple greeting, Zhou Jingyi asked Xiao Yao, "Yang, what do you think of me calling Paul and TJ to choreograph together?"

"Yes," Xiao Yao nodded, "As long as they are willing to come, there should be no problem. They have participated in this program and proved that their choreography ability is suitable for this program. The program team should be very welcome!"

"Okay, then I'll contact them when I get back tonight!" Zhou Jingyi said happily, "By the way, the dancers are not used in the first round of the competition, but I heard that the second round of the competition may use the dancers. If possible, let them bring the supporting dancers along with them."

"What? Dancers?" Xiao Yao asked.

"Yes!" Zhou Jingyi said, "This program can not only find choreographers, but also bring its own dance troupe. Our torrent dance troupe has already disbanded, but TJ and Paul's studio has many great dancers. Or, maybe they can bring some people over to be my dancers."

"If you're asking for my opinion," Xiao Yao said, "I don't suggest you do that!"

"Why?" Zhou Jingyi said, "I heard that Cheng Xi brought her dance troupe to the show as a dance group. I have been to Paul and TJ's studio many times to dance with those dancers .For me, although they are not as good as the old people in the rapids, at least they must be more familiar with the dancers provided by the program group, and they must be more tacit in their cooperation."

"But among those people, there are not many Chinese, and even very few Asians, isn't it?" Xiao Yao said.

"Is this a problem?" Zhou Jingyi asked.

"I think so!" Xiao Yao nodded and said, "Jin, you are participating in a competition program in Huaxia. Although you are not a mixed race, you are no different from Huaxia people in appearance, and you can communicate with people in Chinese, but you speak Chinese You have an accent, and your skin color is darker than most Chinese girls, which remind everyone that you are a foreigner."

"What are you talking about?" Zhou Jingyi asked in confusion, "Aren't Americans allowed to participate in China's competition programs?"

"Of course not," Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "Foreigners don't participate in many Chinese programs, and the audience will find it very novel and fresh. And you are Chinese, and you have another advantage, that is, the audience will watch it. There is a sense of intimacy. If a Chinese star finds a group of foreign dancers, the audience will think it is very powerful and very international. But you are not, you are Chinese-American! It is normal for you to find foreign dancers as a dance group It’s nothing special, it won’t make you look amazing, but the audience will think that you are also a foreigner from the fact that you hired foreign dancers as a dance group, which will make them feel distant from you.”

"So?" Zhou Jingyi asked.

"You know, part of the competition results come from the votes of the audience. The audience's perception is very important. I think this is not good for your competition results." Xiao Yao said, "So, I suggest you use the ones provided by the program group. Chinese dancers make the dance group."

"Is it okay for TJ and Paul to choreograph for me?" Zhou Jingyi asked again.

"The choreography is behind the scenes, and Paul and TJ have come to this show before and choreographed for other Chinese stars. I don't think there is any problem with this." Xiao Yao said.

"This is just my suggestion, it's up to you to decide!" Seeing Zhou Jingyi hesitate, Xiao Yao finally said.
