Entertaining Children

"Next is the third round of physical examination." Teacher He, the middle-aged chief examiner, signaled Xiao Yao to return to the team, and then announced, "First place, Lu Dechang!"

Lu Dechang glanced at Xiao Yao who was standing back by the wall with complicated eyes, and slowly walked in front of several examiners. Before, he said brazenly that Xiao Yao passed the exam because of his fame, but after the first two rounds of the second exam today, let alone himself, I am afraid that the total of the other nine candidates is not as good as Xiao Yao alone. Play dazzling. Although Xiao Yao didn't open his mouth to refute him at the time, judging from his performance in the first two rounds, he felt that his face seemed to have been swollen.

The physical examination is also optional for candidates. Generally speaking, the physical performance of candidates is mainly two kinds of martial arts and dance, and some candidates who have played in elementary school may show some unique moves in Peking Opera and martial arts.

Among the nine candidates in front of Xiao Yao's group, two performed martial arts, and the other seven were dancers.

Lu Dechang, who was the first to appear on the stage, showed Taekwondo. Several consecutive beautiful roundhouse kicks and a triple kick in the air also won applause from the candidates next to him, which made Lu Dechang, whose performance in the first two rounds was not satisfactory, at least regained some confidence. .

The other martial arts performer was a girl, who looked rather delicate, but unexpectedly took out a nine-section whip from her carry-on bag, and showed everyone a set of nine-section whip techniques. Although in terms of visual impact, the girls' nine-section whip is not as good as Lu Dechang's three-kick in the air, but knowledgeable teachers know that the nine-section whip is actually much more difficult to practice than Taekwondo.

Among the other candidates who performed dances, there were folk dancers, hip-hop dancers, modern dancers and ballet dancers. There was even a boy who put on tap dance shoes and performed a tap dance for the teachers. Among them, the most attractive to the male candidates were two girls dancing modern dance and one girl dancing ballet. Because they all took off their heavy coats during the exam, revealing the tight-fitting exercise clothes they wore underneath, revealing their beautiful body lines without a doubt.

On the whole, this group performed much better in the third round of physical examination than in the second round of vocal music examination. Several candidates heard the applause from other candidates during the performance, and the expressions on the faces of several examiners in the third round of the test were also much better.

"Next, Xiao Yao!" The examiner, Teacher He, called out the name of Xiao Yao who appeared last.

"Hello, teachers." Xiao Yao once again stood in front of several examiners and bowed.

"It's your turn again." Teacher Li on the examiner's table asked with a smile, "I heard that you have been martial arts since elementary school. Do you want to perform martial arts for us?"

"No," Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "The Bajiquan I mainly practice is an actual combat method, not suitable for performance. What I performed for several teachers was dance."

"I remembered,

You also danced when you sang "The Great Wall" on that "Super Cool Electronic Music"," the teacher Wei who was in charge of vocal music interjected, "I watched that show, and it said that you also participated in the American Street Dance Competition It seems that your dance skills are also very good. "

Having said that, Teacher Wei turned to look at the slender female examiner and said with a smile, "Mr. Mia, are you just like me, making it harder for him?"

"Don't do it," the female examiner called Teacher Mia shook her head with a smile, "I'm not a bully like you. Besides, is it useful for you to make it harder for him just now? The song he wants to sing It was supposed to be that one.”

"Uh...that's right." That teacher Wei laughed at himself and stopped talking.

"But I will be more strict with him in terms of scoring standards." Teacher Mia added to Teacher Wei with her head turned. As she said that, she also intentionally glanced at Xiao Yao standing in front of her, but found that his expression didn't change at all.

"Why do you all have trouble with him alone?" Teacher He sighed helplessly.

"He has the most relaxed expression," Teacher Li said with a smile. "Other candidates are more or less nervous, but you can see that he has such a calm and relaxed expression since he came in. We will not target him. For whom? The ability to resist pressure is also the scope of our assessment, since he has a good psychological quality, we should increase the pressure on him appropriately."

"But it still doesn't seem to have any effect." Teacher Mia smiled, turned her head to look at Xiao Yao and said, "Let's start."

"What I bring to the teachers is a self-composed dance called "Wall-E." Xiao Yao said, "Please wait a moment, teachers, I have to prepare a little bit."

With that said, Xiao Yao went back to the wall and opened the backpack he had brought, took out a thick orange and silver coat and put it on, and took out a 20cm square box and put it on the ground. Then, he moved several square view blocks from the corner of the examination room and placed them in the center of the venue, and put the box he took out on one of the view blocks.

The examiners did not show any impatience towards Xiao Yao's series of actions, they just looked curiously at Xiao Yao who was busy on the field.

The other examinees on the side, apart from being surprised by Xiao Yao's actions, also talked about the coat that Xiao Yao put on that was as thick as armor and full of technological sense in shape.

"Wouldn't he be wearing the LED light suit that appeared in "Super Cool Electronic Music"? It means that there are many small light bulbs on the clothes, which can light up and change colors, and can use lights to form different patterns on the clothes. The patterned kind."

"It's not like, the one he wore on the show is not this color."

"The one he wore in the street dance competition in the United States and the one he wore in the Chinese show are not the same color, maybe it was remade."

"But he said in the show that the controller of the lighting system is installed on gloves. Whether it is the American street dance competition or the Chinese TV show, he also wears gloves. But look at his hands now, No gloves, where are the controls?"

After setting up the scene in the center of the venue, Xiao Yao ran to draw the curtains on the windows of the classroom in the examination room, and the originally bright classroom suddenly became dark. When passing by the examiner's seat, Xiao Yao also put a pack of tissues on the table in front of Teacher Mia with a ball head.

After finishing this, Xiao Yao took out another USB flash drive from his bag, connected it to the audio equipment in the examination room, returned to the middle of the venue, squatted down slightly, bent his whole upper body forward completely, and started Dance preparations.

Teacher Mia, who was in charge of the physical examination, saw that Xiao Yao was ready, and gave a slight signal. An assistant sitting next to the speaker pressed the switch on the speaker, and the music started.

Accompanied by a burst of rhythmic electronic drumbeats, Xiao Yao in the center of the venue began to move. First, the whole body was shaken back and forth, then both hands were clenched into fists, and lifted up little by little in turn. Every time it is lifted, there is an obvious freeze frame. With the continuous raising of his hands, Xiao Yao's entire body also slowly stood upright.

The opening section is an obvious mechanical dance movement, coupled with the slightly technological soundtrack and Xiao Yao's technological clothes, the people at the scene can easily understand that Xiao Yao is imitating or acting a robot. Judging from the actions in the first paragraph, Xiao Yao's imitation of a robot is quite similar, and there is no lack of novelty in helping the audience better understand through music and costumes.

However, as a performance for a physical examination, Teacher Mia felt that it was far from surprising in terms of technical movements and overall effects. If Xiao Yao's dance is just such a performance imitating a robot, she may not be able to give Xiao Yao a higher score than some of the previous candidates in this group. However, the music and dancing are still going on, and Teacher Mia is not in a hurry to mark her final score on the registration form.

Standing upright, Xiao Yao continued to move the knees, elbows, shoulders, neck and other joints of his body with the movement of the mechanical dance. After waking up, all parts of the body slowly move, and the movements change from stagnant to smooth.

Seeing this, Teacher Mia nodded slightly. At least in terms of choreography of the dance, Xiao Yao did a better job than the previous candidates who performed the dance.

After moving his body, the robot played by Xiao Yao walked to the scene block where the 20cm square box was placed in a very light and mechanical step, stretched out his hands mechanically, and picked up the small box.

Xiao Yao, who picked up the box, turned around mechanically, and walked to the other side imitating the footsteps of the robot, and put the box on another scene block that was much shorter. During this walking process, Xiao Yao's neck was still stretching back and forth imitating the robot. This cute detail made the female examinees standing next to them couldn't help covering their mouths and laughing.

Just as everyone was guessing what was in Xiao Yao's box, Xiao Yao put down the box and stretched his neck and walked back to the middle of the field, showing everyone a difficult movement show.

I saw Xiao Yao raised his arms, the upper arms were parallel to the shoulders, the forearms fell vertically downward at 90 degrees, and his body leaned forward slightly. Then accompanied by the rhythm of the music, first the whole body does not move, the neck turns half a circle clockwise, then the neck does not move, the whole shoulder turns half a turn in the same direction, and then the neck turns half a turn, each turn Once, Xiao Yao's upper body also leaned forward a little more. After four and a half circles, Xiao Yao's upper body is almost leaning forward at ninety degrees.

At this time, Xiao Yao kept his head and lower body still, and his entire shoulders and arms started to move left and right and in circles with the neck as the midpoint. This large-scale displacement movement gave people the illusion of separation of the head and body, and also caused some applause from other candidates watching.

After the performance was completed, Xiao Yao walked backwards in an extremely slow moonwalk to the scene where the box was placed. After Xiao Yao turned around, the sound of music at the scene suddenly changed a style. Accompanied by the sound of music that suddenly became lively, light and somewhat weird, Xiao Yao opened the box. The box is a hood type, Xiao Yao picked up the box cover connecting the four sides, and saw a worn-out black low-top boot on the bottom plate. Inside the boot, is a small blue flower in full bloom.

"Wow~" Seeing this, the examiner and other candidates were attracted by the plot of this dance. The examiners couldn't help but widen their eyes, and there were a few whispers among the candidates.

Xiao Yao put down the lid of the box, stretched out his hands and gently lifted the little flower in the boots and held it in his hands. Xiao Yao looked down at the little flower in his hand intently, while the toes and heels of his feet kept rubbing against the ground, and he moved sideways to the middle of the field.

At this time, the sound of the music was suddenly interrupted, and there was a sound of lightning and thunder. Xiao Yao looked up, then stretched out his right hand and tore off a piece of fabric stuck on the belly of his clothes with magic stickers, and put the little flower on his own. in the body.

"It's really a robot, and you can put things in its stomach." A female examinee couldn't help laughing. Even the faces of several examiners showed smiles unconsciously.

The thunder gradually subsided, and a simple piano accompaniment sounded in the background, and Xiao Yao imitated the robot's action posture again and moved. But with a few "sizzling" sounds in the background, Xiao Yao's movements also faltered, and became slower and slower, until finally his upper body was completely bent, his arms drooped naturally, and then he stopped moving.

But soon, Xiao Yao got up and moved again. This time Xiao Yao was still sliding sideways with his toes and heels rubbing against the ground in turn, but his upper body movements were much softer, and his expression was also looking at his hands and upper body chest in surprise.

With the change of the melody of the piano sound, Xiao Yao, who had come to the middle of the venue again, became agile in his movements. First, the arms made a few swinging movements very gently in turn, and then the fingers of both hands flexed and moved very nimbly. After the activity was over, Xiao Yao raised his hands in front of him and did a set of extremely complicated finger dances.

Xiao Yao looked up at the sky with surprise and gratitude, and then stretched out his hands to cover his face.

"I've become a human!" A female examinee who was very involved in watching it exclaimed in surprise.

The examiners also became extremely devoted and serious at this time. Teacher Wei slightly excitedly stretched out a palm to press his chest, Teacher Li and Teacher He unconsciously leaned forward slightly, while Teacher Mia pressed her lips lightly with one hand, and the other A hand placed on the table unconsciously clenched into a fist.

With the sound of electronic drums, the soundtrack of electronic music made the whole background music intense again. Xiao Yao, with a smile on his face, also twisted his whole body greatly, and made a lot of whole body wave movements. In this dance, which is mainly based on hip-hop wave movements, Xiao Yao also added some signature movements in modern dance that highlight the flexibility of the body, making the whole dance not only ornamental, but also technically difficult. Not bad.

The passionate and energetic music, and the highly expressive dance made everyone who watched Xiao Yao's dance feel joyful along with Xiao Yao, who changed from a "robot" to a "human" on the field. . The candidates next to them couldn't help but want to jump up and cheer.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. As the "sizzling" sound appeared again in the music, Xiao Yao's movements gradually slowed down, and there was a freeze again.

Xiao Yao first looked at his hands with a puzzled expression, and then the expression on his face slowly changed from joy to disappointment, and then gradually turned into unwillingness and despair.

The "sizzling" sound in the background still sounded from time to time, but those passionate electronic sounds have disappeared, replaced by a sad violin sound.

Amidst the sad sound of the violin and the extremely annoying sound of "Zi Zi", Xiao Yao slowly withered, and slowly lay down on a piece of scenery in the venue. After a period of unwilling struggle, Xiao Yao looked at the sky obliquely above with extremely hopeful eyes, and his left hand with five fingers spread out slowly obliquely into the air, as if he wanted to grab something, but in the end he still Weakly hung down.

Finally, Xiao Yao turned his head to look in the direction of the examiners, and after giving the examiners an extremely sad look, accompanied by the gradually disappearing music, Xiao Yao slowly closed his eyes and lowered his head.

From the melancholy sound of the violin, when Xiao Yao slowed down and stopped again, Teacher Mia's eye sockets were already wet. Just as she was about to reach out to wipe the corners of her eyes, she caught a glimpse of the pack of tissues that Xiao Yao had placed in front of her before.

"This kid!" Teacher Mia scolded softly in her heart, reached for the pack of tissues, took out one, and gently pressed the corner of her eyes.

Then a hand stretched out from the side, and took a tissue out of the pack. Teacher Mia knew without thinking that it was another female examiner, Teacher Wei, who must have also been made to cry by Xiao Yao's dance.
