Chapter 610: Dance Dance Dance(1/2)
Note: The dance comes from the masquerade jabbawockeez. Search [Masquerade 2012 live performance] to watch. Highly recommended.
———————
Gu Fan has a casual personality and has no airs. He often gets along with the members of "Street Dance". Even if he is angry, he can't say anything harsh. Han Jue is different. Although he doesn't have any airs, he rehearses dance with him. If anyone's attitude is not correct and wastes everyone's time, Han Jue dares to make that person apart.
Regarding this, the members of [Shawks 1.0] had a deep understanding of this when they rehearsed the [Ninja Dance] with Han Jue.
[Great White Shark] is the name of Gu Fan's team. Gu Fan likes white, and comes from [Blue Whale]. At first, he wanted to call the team name [Blue Whale]. When asked Han Jue's opinion, Han Jue said that street dance originated from the street and had a strong sign. The style of painting is really wrong with the white whale's cute animal.
In the end, the team name became a very murderous [Great White Shark].
Unfortunately, [Great White Shark 1.0] became cannon fodder among the four teams, almost wiped out the entire army, leaving only one person alone to fight to the end, making Gu Fan very embarrassed. When [Great White Shark 2.0], Han Jue was unwilling to let Gu Fan lose his face again, so he often came to guide and was cordially named the deputy captain by the team members.
The team leader and the deputy captain have a clear division of labor. The team leader is responsible for [let them take a break, right?], and the deputy captain is responsible for [it's still early!].
These dancers who claimed to be [Great White Shark] fell into Han Jue's hands, often sweating profusely, breathing difficulties, collapsed to the ground, no different from the stranded aquatic animals.
Although Han Jue was strict, he was very patient. After pointing out problems or providing ideas, he always tried to demonstrate over and over again, danced with everyone, and rehearsed together. The energy and hard work that Han Jue put in was obvious to everyone, so although everyone was yelling that they were tired and tiring, they all persevered and gained a lot. No one really hated Han Jue.
Not to mention that the feedback is very positive. When they are fighting with other teams, [Great White Shark] is always the winner, laughing at the other teams who are competing for the remaining promotion places and participate in the resurrection competition.
In this season of "This Is Street Dance", four of the top ten seats belong to Gu Fan. The result was very gratifying.
In addition to the part where the dancers rely on their personal abilities to compete, Han Jue has done a good job in the position of deputy captain.
This season of "This Is Street Dance" was led by Gu Fan and Han Jue, and unofficially introduced the [Deputy Captain] system - Gu Fan found Han Jue, and in order to curb Han Jue, the other captains also found other top choreographers. The program team naturally enjoyed this. They allowed all ideas that could make the program better, dance more exciting, and have higher ratings.
Taking this opportunity, the program team of "This Is Street Dance" felt that they had discovered a loophole and were very moved.
Because Han Jue was invited to be the captain alone, Han Jue refused to come, so the director of "This is Street Dance" thought to be like "China's Hip-Hop", and try to get eight captains to group in two groups next time, one in the captain and the other in the deputy captain. This may allow Gu Fan and Han Jue to be taken together, which is perfect.
"It's gathering." Han Jue clapped his hands and asked everyone to come over like a tour guide.
[Great White Shark 1.0] and [Great White Shark 2.0] gathered together.
Han Jue looked at everyone who had already changed his clothes and was ready to go and asked, "Are you ready?"
Everyone said in a verbal way: "It's ready!"
Gu Fan has already gone to the stage, and only captain Han Jue is in the backstage lounge.
Han Jue gave everyone the final mobilization and said, "Don't feel that you can relax just because today is the last show. Even if the show is over, I can still find you."
After several times of getting along, everyone already knew that Han Jue was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and his heart was mixed. At this time, everyone was full of serious faces, but no one took his threat seriously. There were even a few female team members with their eyes swaying, as if they were wondering how much mistakes they would make, so that Han Jue would actually find their home.
"Just be afraid." Han Jue nodded with satisfaction, looked at the time, and it was almost time to set off to wait on the sidelines. Han Jue finally looked at everyone in front of him, calmed down his face, and said, "Although I don't spend much time with everyone, I am very happy to dance with everyone. Everyone is excellent dancer, and I don't have any opinions about me because of my lack of qualifications. I don't know if I have any chance to dance with everyone in the future, but I will cherish this last dance with you today."
The members were touched: "We will cherish it too."
"Then, let's work together, leave a good work, and send it to Tang Ye for a ride!"
Everyone shouted: "Send Tang Ye a journey!"
"Okay," Han Jue stretched out his right hand, his palm facing up, and his five fingers suddenly opened, "Go!"
Everyone came out one after another, carrying their equipment and headed to the stage.
The closer you get to the stage, the clearer the cheers are.
Standing at the edge of the passage, you can see an audience seat from afar, filled with audiences.
In the music circle, singers with a little success can perform in front of tens of thousands of people. In the dance circle, only the most top dancers have the opportunity to dance in front of tens of thousands of audiences.
Most of the dancers behind Han Jue did not have such a chance. At this time, some people's bodies began to tremble, stiff, and felt nervous.
Han Jue, who was quietly observing the team members, had long expected this situation. He said: "Okay, put on the equipment."
So early?
Although everyone was confused, their hands were not stopping, and they listened to Han Jue's instructions to wear the equipment neatly.
In the dim passage, there were thirteen people wearing white human-faced masks.
After putting on the masks and hats, everyone looked at each other. Looking out from the hole, as if they were hiding behind something, and then feeling the mask blocking their breath. The heating pounced on their faces softly, the tension in their hearts gradually faded, and a sense of security arose.
Everyone looked out and felt a lot more stable. Looking out, they could see the posters held by the audience, waving towels, and the captains who were greeting around the stage.
The venue needs to be warm before the game, and the host asked the four people what they expected for today's game.
The four captains answered separately, some of which aimed directly at the champion, while others aimed to leave good works.
When he arrived at Gu Fan, Gu Fan said, "Leave a good work and win the championship by the way." This caused cheers from the audience. Although the development of the competition may not be as he wished, the more he said, the more likely he was to be slapped in the face. But the audience felt that a handsome person like Gu Fan was very handsome, and what else he cared about?
After the host interviewed the ambitions of the four captains, he began to talk about the rules of the game tonight.
"The competition is divided into two rounds... Before the first round of the game begins, the four captains will perform [Captain Show] respectively."
In the first season of "This Is Street Dance", there were two [Captain Shows]. The auditions and the finals ended once.
Unlike the captain's assessment that aims to show the captain's characteristics and strength, the [Captain's Show] in tonight's finals has an impact on the subsequent schedule.
"After the end of the [Captain's Show], 201 judges on the spot will vote. The team with the largest number of votes will gain an advantage in subsequent competitions." The host added, "50 of them are members of the Dancers Association, 50 are referees from all over the world, and the remaining 101 are media representatives from various media."
In the passage, Han Jue was warming up with the team members. Although he didn't know which of the four captains would go first, if they were the first to go first, they would have to warm up now.
After the host introduced everything that should be introduced, he invited the four captains to the stage and used the method of turning the bottle to decide who will perform the [Captain Show] first.
"The first one to appear was Captain Gu Fan and the Great White Sharks!" the host shouted loudly.
The audience cheered.
Some people are happy and some are worried behind Han Jue.
"Yes, it happens to be the order I want to play." Han Jue said confidently while moving his wrists and ankles.
Some people don't understand it very much.
[Great White Shark 1.0] It is worthy of being a classic match with Han Jue, and then he sucked the air in his arms. [2.0] junior explained: "Ideally, we will be the first perfect start, and after the team comes out, the audience will suppress the votes after the comparison." After saying that, he asked Han Jue: "Captain Han, is this true?"
Han Jue was stunned for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, that's how I think."
Thanks to wearing a mask, everyone couldn't see Han Jue's expression, but they all had confidence.
After a while, Gu Fan, who had changed his clothes in the backstage, came over and approached Han Jue, and said embarrassedly: "I am the first to appear, I am not very lucky."
Han Jue waved his hand: "It's okay, end it early and go home early."
"Don't hurry to leave, cheer for Tang Ye, that kid is now completely your believer."
"It's okay, I believe him, so I won't stay."
Gu Fan had no choice but to put on a mask.
After everyone carefully checked each other and wore it, they gathered into a circle, stretched out their hands in the middle of the circle, covering their palms.
Everyone whispered murderous slogans: "One, two, three... Great White Shark, kill!"
A group of people walked out of the passage and slowly stepped onto the stage.
The audience was amazed that everyone was dressed the same. Even Gu Fan, as the captain, did not have the special clothing and completely hidden it. He could not tell who was who. The dozen people wore black bowler hats, a white mask on their faces, expressionless faces, and were wearing clothes similar to bulletproof vests, and boots on their feet, with uniform movements.
"Soldier?" a captain sitting on the edge of the stage asked in confusion.
"This is the robber, the policeman wears a mask." Another captain complained without hesitation.
"Which one is Gu Fan?"
"I don't know... how tall Gu Fan?"
"The first one should be Han Jue. I heard that he was here too. If he couldn't find him on the spot, he must be performing..."
The captains chatted with each other, but they were all excited and prepared to watch Gu Fan's team's [Captain Show] carefully.
If the first captain show during the captain's assessment was Gu Fan who ruled out Han Jue to win by surprise, then today can be said to be a choreographer war.
Previously, Gu Fan said that Han Jue was the secret weapon of their team, and the other teams were not to be outdone. "Who aren't we a few masters who know how to choreography?" Then they really invited the top choreographers they knew.
At the end of this competition, the dancers are all top-notch, and choreography is particularly important at this time.
How Han Jue guides the dancers of [Great White Shark] in detail, there are very few cuts on TV. But through a few clips, Han Jue's level can be seen. Some time ago, before the team was divided, the dancers divided into group leaders to compete. At this time, Han Jue came to visit the set, entered Tang Ye's room, and brought up a creative idea. In the end, the creative implementation became a work, which was really beautiful. Tang Ye stood on a small platform, playing with the lasers in front of him, amazed everyone.
Later, when the dancers chose the captain, Gu Fan's team became the place they wanted to go the most, and it was so crowded.
In the following team battles, [Great White Shark] won more than lose less, which proved that it was correct to go to Gu Fan.
Everyone realized that the secret weapon Gu Fan found was really self-powered. Like the villain hidden behind the scenes, it secretly affected the direction of the game.
Other dancers and choreographers competed with Han Jue several times, but they didn't win, so they could comfort themselves not choreographed seriously. Today [Captain's Show] is an excellent battlefield. The choreographers have taken out their long-groomed works, intending to do their best to kill Han Zhengdao.
The lights on the stage began to dim.
[Great White Shark] Standing in formation, lowered his head, and put his hands behind him. There were about ten people coming up, but only half of them were in the center of the stage, facing the captain and the camera. The other half stood on the edge of the stage, looking around, as if they were looking at the wind.
The music started to sound, a single little girl's monologue. The sound was processed and sounded like the opening of a horror film. The calmer it was at the beginning, the more violent it became. The audience knew this, so they waited with anticipation.
The opening of the dance is always the most anticipated.
There is no standard decision on what is a good opening and what is a bad opening. But what can be blown up the audience's shouts in the first second must be a good one.
This is the dance of Gu Fan’s team.
On the stage, the little girl's monologue had just finished, and the music switched in an instant, and the people on the stage moved in one instant.
The originally wooden dancers scattered around at the same time. They entered just right, neither too much nor too little, neither too fast nor too slow, and had tacit understanding of movements, without any unnecessary stagnation.
