Chapter 311: This Is Street Dance (Part 2)(1/2)
As a variety show with a viewership and topicality, "This Is Street Dance" has a variety show with a comparable ratings to "Huaxia Hip Hop", and the number of applicants each year is naturally very large. With the increase in reputation and popularity, "This Is Street Dance" has even more applicants than "Huaxia Hip Hop Hop".
Most of the contestants who registered for "Huaxia You Hip Hop" are Chinese. Of course, there are also contestants from the United States or other countries, but they all speak Chinese without exception and they sing during competitions. As the most difficult language, Chinese language has screened out many rap enthusiasts, making it impossible for them to participate in "Huaxia Hop".
However, the body language of dance is common all over the world and does not distinguish between national boundaries, which gives anyone who loves street dance the opportunity to participate in "This is Street Dance".
"This Is Street Dance" has been held in the sixth season and is no longer just a variety show, it is also a feast for street dance enthusiasts around the world. It is more and more eye-catching every year.
"This Is Street Dance" begins recording every spring.
Spring is a good season, with suitable temperatures and a suitable day for dancing.
Dancers, in lukewarm weather, wear cooler if they like to wear cooler, reveal their beautiful muscles and lines when dancing, and don’t worry about getting cold. It doesn’t matter if they like to wear long-sleeved jackets or sweatshirts. They are comfortable and have their own personalities, so there is no need to worry about heatstroke and bloated appearance.
Tang Ye has been excited and nervous since the morning and waited outside the studio with thousands of other dancers.
Waiting is boring, and the dancers are those who cannot get idle, so just dance first.
So before the recording began, the entire square was divided into several circles of different sizes, surrounding them with a piece of land, allowing dancers to discuss in the circle.
Tang Ye walked around and saw some dancers speaking cherry blossom language, some speaking Han Gao language, some shouting English, and some dancing in languages that he couldn't even hear.
Tang Ye was very excited.
This time, he participated in "This Is Street Dance", or the first competition he participated in was "This Is Street Dance". Before that, he had never participated in any competition on the ground and underground, nor had he ever been involved in any circle. He was just an unknown person. But he was very lucky that he successfully signed up for "This Is Street Dance" for the first time and successfully participated in the final mentor audition stage through video registration and two rounds of regional auditions.
He, the unknown man, came with a big goal, and he wanted to become famous overnight.
Tang Ye claims to be outstanding in talent and handsome in appearance. He thinks that Luo Peiqi from last year can become famous overnight, so can he do it.
So he came.
But when other dancers gathered and danced and discussed, Tang Ye did not participate. He was very smart, so he sat under the shade of the tree with a bottle of water, looking for experts who seemed to be good at it while preserving their physical strength and waiting for work.
By the afternoon, almost no one jumped. Everyone was not fools. They were tired of chatting, and no one would make themselves tired of jumping. Tang Ye secretly regretted this.
By around three o'clock, the contestants were notified that they could finally prepare to record with their number cards.
The studio was very large, and it was more than enough to install these two thousand people in the waiting area. Everyone was bustling for a while, looking for the number plates of whom were unlucky, pointing at the person and laughing at him, and then everyone was driven to a vast venue.
The site was imitated as a street building, which fits the atmosphere of street dancing. Everyone stood in the center of the vast cross street, with four directions extending to the center of the street, and a huge curtain hung above the distance.
Even if the contestants have not watched the first five seasons of "This Is Street Dance", they are familiar with this situation.
The four curtains correspond to the streets where the four mentors belong. The curtains will show the personal dance performances of the four mentors to show their strength to more than 2,000 contestants and dancers.
After the contestants finished watching the dances of the four mentors, they could choose which mentor to go for the assessment.
Some contestants will be attracted by the style of the mentor after watching the mentor's performance, and then decide which mentor's street to participate in the assessment, leaving a deep impression on the mentor and preparing for joining the mentor's team later. Some contestants will be clear in their hearts early on which mentor to go for the assessment.
Tang Ye belongs to the latter. Before he came to participate in the competition, he planned to go to Gu Fan for an assessment and then join Gu Fan's team.
Joining Gu Fan's team does not mean that Tang Ye appreciates Gu Fan.
Tang Ye knew that Gu Fan was an idol artist and was known as one of the strongest dancers among idol artists, but how strong can idols be? Perhaps that's the strength.
However, not appreciating Gu Fan does not mean not being interested in him.
Tang Ye believes that Gu Fan will definitely not be able to convince the public as a mentor. At that time, the masters will definitely disdain to join Gu Fan's team. Then after he joins Gu Fan's team, he will have few competitors internally and will not become cannon fodder externally and will be eliminated early. At the same time, he can also get traffic from Gu Fan and attract fans. It is really perfect.
So after the four tutors' dances were all finished, everyone left the center of the crossroads and went to the assessment tutors they selected in their hearts.
Tang Ye stood on Gu Fan's street without hesitation.
He looked around for a while and felt that about four hundred people were here, and one-quarter of the total number was not here. He couldn't help but feel a little thankful for Gu Fan's low appeal. He felt that he was two steps away from becoming famous.
The people in the program team counted the people in each street, and after a while, the recording of four streets began at the same time.
The streets are vast, and the music played between the streets will not interfere with each other.
The dancers gathered together in groups of three or three, standing on both sides of the street or near the center of the street, waiting for the mentors to appear.
Not long after, Tang Ye saw a bunch of people and cameras running out from the end of the street.
Everyone knows that Gu Fan is here.
"Oh! It's Gu Fan!"
"Gu Fan!Gu Fan!Gu Fan!"
"Brother Fan is so handsome!"
Whether it is polite or show, the contestants who are waiting for him cheer and applaud together to welcome Gu Fan to appear.
Gu Fan doesn't have to dance today, so he is very restrained in his dress.
Gu Fan was wearing a dark green casual jacket with a white shirt inside, jeans on the bottom and a pair of shoes on his feet.
He did not learn to dress up as the dancers in order to get along with the dancers. Every time he appeared in front of the camera, his clothes and appearance must be discussed by the team. But no matter how he discussed it, as long as he was Gu Fan, he could wear a famous brand.
Gu Fan dressed in a simple outfit, and as soon as he appeared, he gained the screams and loves of many female contestants present.
Tang Ye spat secretly.
Tang Ye looked around and found that the expressions of many male players were mostly very complicated, most of which were complicated with disdain and jealousy. The common point of these people was that they looked quite cold. After their eyes met each other, they nodded, as if they had found an offensive and defensive alliance and received a secret code.
After turning his head, he continued to cheer and shout, "Brother Fan!"
I don’t know if it was Tang Ye’s illusion, but Tang Ye felt that there were many female players in this street. Tang Ye even began to doubt that some female players came to participate in the competition, just to meet Gu Fan and hug him.
Gu Fan smiled and waved to everyone, encouraging everyone, so that everyone should not be nervous and perform their skills. The assessment will start in two minutes.
Although Gu Fan has only more than 400 people in this street, it is the least of the four streets. But even if a contestant is one minute, it will take a lot of time to complete the assessment. Gu Fan does not waste time and starts the assessment.
There is a telephone pole standing on the side of the street with two speakers hanging on it for calling numbers and playing music.
Tang Ye didn't have the time to observe how realistic the street production site was. He stared at the first contestant who was called, wanting to see the level of the contestants and observe Gu Fan's expressions at the same time. When the contestants finished their performance, they would analyze Gu Fan's preferences according to Gu Fan's evaluation to improve the passing rate.
Tang Ye was not the only one who thought about this at the scene.
Rules are dead, but those who make rules live. As long as you guide the person who set rules, the effect will be the same as those who make rules.
However, when the first contestant finished the performance and stood there panting and waiting for Gu Fan to give the results and evaluation, Gu Fan was not sad or happy, and calmly took a small notebook from behind that he had been holding in his hand, and wrote something on it without saying a word.
The whole street was silent.
Then Gu Fan nodded and thanked the first player, and then said politely, "Thank you, next one."
All the contestants who heard Gu Fan's words were in an uproar, and some of them thought they had heard it wrong, so they turned to ask others.
"What does thank you mean? Was it passed or eliminated?"
"Damn it, don't you give the result on the spot?"
"What's the matter?"
"It's over, it's over, it's over, isn't this tormenting?"
“…”
Not only the contestants were talking, but even the staff looked at each other and talked a lot.
However, these staff members turned to look at the director's face, but they didn't see anything from the director's face. This shows that the director knew about this situation, so Gu Fan was not an illegal operation.
"It's quite amazing..."
"The first one to play like this for so many seasons."
"Gu Fan's image is very different from usual. I thought he was the gentle mentor... I felt that those contestants were going to be bad."
The first player was also confused. He asked Gu Fan nervously, "Then am I going to advance? Or is it to be decided? Or...?"
Gu Fan smiled gently, and did not speak, but raised his hands to the back of the contestant, saying that you should go quickly, I will not tell you, don’t block the next contestant’s performance, no one can afford to waste this time.
Gu Fan's eyes cannot express such a complex sentence structure at present, and it will not be possible in the future.
This complicated sentence was made up by Han Jue who was secretly watching in the corner.
Han Jue pretended to be Gu Fan's assistant and successfully relied on Gu Fan's relationship to sneak into the recording site.
Han Jue followed Gu Fan and when he arrived on the street, he hid in the corner of the crowd behind the camera without saying a word, looking at the street and the dancers in the distance.
Han Jue just watched the performance of the first contestant and listened to the rhythmic music. Han Jue felt that his body was getting hot, and his body was eager to try and would move.
After the performance of the first contestant, Han Jue felt very rewarding. At least when he looked at his eyes, he would not only remember one or two wonderful movements like he did in his previous life. Han Jue closed his eyes and recalled, and found that the movements just now could be repeated completely in his mind, just like playing video tapes, disassembling the movements, both fast and slow.
It's amazing... Han Jue patted his head with a strange mood.
Although Han Jue knew that his predecessor was very good at dancing, he really didn't know what a powerful method was.
When I watched the dance videos of the trainees in front of me, Han Jue called 666 a few times and turned off the video.
At that time, Han Jue was practicing singing and didn't care whether he could get the dance skill back. Anyway, he couldn't be an idol and didn't need to dance anymore, so Han Jue didn't want to learn it either.
If it weren't for the Michael Jackson dance in the "IAASR" finals, Han Jue wouldn't have been concerned about dance.
Now, Han Jue realized that his predecessor's talent for dance was probably beyond singing. So he was very excited and recalling the pixel-level reproduction ability in his mind. Han Jue thought that he was Haki Kakashi in the dance world, and copying was done.
But after Han Jue hid in the corner and made a few moves according to his memory, he felt that he was really thinking too much.
Han Jue imitated the movements in his memory, and physical memory did help him complete the movements. However, what surprised Han Jue was that he repeated them three times and his body involuntarily completed the movements in three different ways. Some used the waist and abdomen, some used the arms and back muscles, and some used the waist and abdomen and the arms to exert force at the same time...
Although the effects of these three methods in appearance and the final result are the same, Han Jue found that after completing one action, he wanted to connect to the next action, but he could not connect smoothly.
The movements can be forced to be coherent, but the movements become slower and the body is also very awkward.
To be continued...
