Chapter 125

The training site of dawn dance company is in a creative park. It used to be an industrial area. With the development of the city, the factory moved to the neighboring suburbs, and a large area of old factory buildings in the industrial area were abandoned. Later, people took a fancy to the spacious and open place here. After being bought, it was redesigned and renovated to become a creative park, in which many groups and organizations engaged in the so-called avant-garde art entered.

Chenxi dance company has rented a dance rehearsal room reconstructed from a large factory for a long time, which is also a fixed activity place for them.

The rehearsal room is located in the old-fashioned red brick building. Before Xiao Yao entered the rehearsal room, he was attracted by the colorful graffiti on the wall outside and stopped to watch for a while. Not only the building in the rehearsal room, but also the walls of many other buildings near the roads in the park are painted with various kinds of graffiti, which makes people feel like they are in the black area of Brooklyn, New York.

Xiao Yao did not expect that there was such a place in Yanjing city. He immediately took out his camera excitedly and took pictures of the graffiti on these walls.

Entering the rehearsal room, Xiao Yao found that this place is really good. There are four double doors and windows on each side of the wall, which are 1.5 meters high. The sunlight in the afternoon makes the light of nearly 100 square meters very abundant, and the whole space is bright. I can't see any dust on the clean wood floor. I think it's often used and cleaned. There is a set of combination sound against the wall, and there is a loudspeaker around the room, which makes the sound effect in the slightly open space very good. The only drawback is that there seems to be a mirror as big as the whole wall missing.

"Oh, sister Xi, why did you bring a photographer here? So young, is photography OK? " Cheng Xi takes Xiao Yao into the rehearsal room, and immediately some members of the dance troupe come to say hello. Seeing Xiao Yao with a camera in his hand, he naturally thinks that he is a photographer.

"Don't make trouble. This is a distinguished guest of our dance company." Cheng Xi said with a smile, "is Chen Chen here? Everybody come here. I have something to announce. "

"Yes, what can I do for you?" A young man with a baseball cap on his side came up the road.

Xiao Yao looked at the man, and found that he was wearing a baseball cap, a wide T-shirt, big trousers, black board shoes, and a silver metal chain around his neck. A ring under the chain was wrapped with a six pointed star pendant. The whole person is full of hip-hop flavor, showing a strong Street wind.

"To introduce you, this is Xiao Yao. He introduced us to a job opportunity. " Cheng Xi pointed to Xiao Yao and said, "Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying have opened a studio and are recruiting a special dance team. Xiao Yao, the son of Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying, recommended our dance company to his parents' studio. As long as we seize this opportunity to sign a contract with the studio, we will not worry about losing our reputation after the establishment of our dance studio in the future. "

"Oh, there is such a good thing." The crowd cheered.

"I'm just recommending. It depends on your own ability." Xiao Yao stretched out his hands and pressed them to cool the cheering crowd.

"We don't lack strength, we just lack opportunities." There are people who are confident in the Tao.

"Brothers, how about we show our hand to the son of the future boss?" Someone suggested.

"Good, come on, open your eyes to Xiao Xiao." Everyone responded.

"I have the ability to be friends with the second generation of stars." Chen Chen approached Cheng Xi and said, "by the way, you haven't said what you want to do with me."

"I'm not looking for you, it's the second generation of star friends who want to know you." Cheng Xi said with a smile, "you are better than me. People have heard that you can play hip-hop, rap and graffiti. They say they want to know you, so they follow me here. They're coming for you. "

"Hello, Chen Chen, right? I'm Xiao Yao Xiao Yao took the initiative to reach out and said, "I'm very interested in street culture. Please give me more advice in the future."

"I don't dare to give advice. Let's play together and communicate with each other when we have time." Chen Chen said with a polite smile and extended his hand.

Xiao Yao didn't shake hands with him normally. Instead, he took the palm of his hand and hit him on the shoulder. He clenched his fist with his other hand and beat him on the back. This kind of very black and street greeting immediately won Chen Chen's favor, and her smile became more and more brilliant.

"You'll get familiar with it and play it slowly. It's not easy for us to get together. Let's practice dancing first. Don't you say you want to show Xiao Yao?" Cheng Xi interrupts with a smile.

"Well, I'll see." Xiao Yao smiles and sits down in a chair on the edge of the field.

The whole dance team consists of about 15-6 people, with Cheng Xi and Chen Chen as the core respectively. They are divided into two parts, with about 7-8 people on each side. Xiao Yao watched it for more than an hour, which was a feast for his eyes. In addition to no tap dance, Xiao Yao knew all kinds of dances in more than an hour. The seven or eight ballets and modern dances led by Cheng Xi are not to mention. There are many kinds of hip-hop dances led by Chen Chen, such as lock dance, mechanical dance, thunderbolt dance. There are many kinds of hip-hop styles, such as handstand, Thomas gyration and so on. Xiao Yao has a shocking understanding of the strength of this dance team.However, after watching for more than an hour, Xiao Yao also found a problem. So, he couldn't help shouting to stop, went to the center of the venue and asked Cheng Xi and Chen Chen, "I have a question to ask."

"What's the problem, you say." Cheng Xidao. At the same time, Chen Chen also stood over.

"Are you a team or two?" Xiao Yao strange way: "why do I see you are two parts? Don't you have any dances that people on both sides do together? "

"Ah?" Now it's Cheng Xi's turn and Chen Chen's turn. "Academy style and street style are two very different dance styles. We have only seen the combination of ballet and modern dance, but we have never seen the combination of modern dance and street dance. It doesn't match at all. " Cheng Xi replied.

"As for the team," Chen Chen continued, "of course we are a team, but we are also made up of two parts with different styles, which are also to meet different performance needs. For those who need the style of hip-hop dance, I'll lead the team. For those who need the style of modern ballet, Cheng Xi will lead the team. We are respectively responsible for the part we are good at. Otherwise, why would our team have two captains, Cheng Xi and I? "

Xiao Yao nodded first, and suddenly said to Chen Chen, "I understand what you mean." Then he shook his head to them and said, "but I don't agree with you. Who says academy dance and hip hop can't be combined? Not having seen it doesn't mean there won't be. How do you know if you haven't tried it? " Speaking of this, Xiao Yao remembers that there is no movie like "step up" or dance talent show like "so you think you can dance" in this world. No matter in the United States or in China, it seems that no one has tried to combine college dance with hip-hop dance.

In that case, it's better to have a try now. Cheng Xi and Chen Chen's dancing skills and skills are all right. From the height and physique point of view, although Cheng Xi is not as Petite as Jenna divan, Chen Chen, who is 1.8 meters tall and muscular, should be able to lift Cheng Xi, who is 1.65 meters tall and slim. It's just that Xiao Yao has a deep memory of the last dance performance of the male and female protagonists in stepup. Let Chen Chen and Cheng Xi restore that dance to see how it works.

Xiao Yao said to Chen Chen and Cheng Xi, "I have an idea to combine college dance with hip-hop dance. Now I have a lot of movements and ideas in my mind. Let me tell you something. How about trying to dance?"

"You mean... You're going to choreograph for us?" Cheng Xi hesitated and said, "didn't you say you wanted to learn choreography from me at noon? Can you choreograph or not? "

"No Xiao Yao said truthfully, "it's just that I have some ideas in my mind, just like pictures one by one. I can only describe them to you, and then try to make some demonstrations. I hope you can realize the ideas in my mind."

Xiao Yao can't choreograph, and he doesn't know how to guide the dancers. But he stayed in the crew a lot and knew how the director talked to the actors. He could only use this method to communicate with Chen Chen and Cheng Xi, explaining and demonstrating their actions one by one, so that they could understand their intention and desired effect in this way.

"The boy has good flexibility and coordination." Chen Chen looked at Xiao Yao and explained the demonstration to them one by one. Although there is no aesthetic feeling of the members of the dance troupe when they dance, those individual dance movements let the professional Chen Chen see Xiao Yao's good physical fitness at a glance, especially the flexibility and coordination of his body, which is not inferior to those professional dancers.

"Of course, people also practice martial arts, not our dance, but martial arts. He just knocked down Xue gang of our club in the ring this morning. They have been practicing for more than ten years. Of course, there is no need to say about their physical fitness. " Cheng Xidao.

"Xue Gang? Is that the muscle monster in your club? " Chen Chen was surprised and said, "that guy's physique is one size bigger than Xiao Yao. Didn't you say that he had practiced boxing? Is this man cleaned up by Xiao Yao? "

"Yes, you said that if he hadn't worked hard for more than ten years, he wouldn't have beaten Xue gang. It's not surprising that he has such physical quality." Cheng Xi nodded.

"Brothers and sisters," Xiao Yao said to Cheng Xi and Chen Chen chatting, and said aloud, "do you understand these movements?" After such a contact, Xiao Yao was familiar with the people in the dance troupe, and his address became casual.

"I see." Chen Chen said with a smile, "these movements are not difficult, but there are two problems." Chen Chen put up two fingers, and then said: "first, my team has modern dance movements, I have national standard movements, Cheng Xi, they have hip-hop movements. It's not difficult for us to use our usual dance style movements, but we haven't tried each other's dance style movements Yes, I don't know if I can practice. Second, we learn a few movements of modern dance and national standard dance in this way. Cheng Xi, they learn a few movements of hip-hop dance. Is that a combination of the two styles? "

"Well," Xiao Yao also put up two fingers and said, "first of all, you are all professional dancers. It should not be difficult for you to learn each other's movements. Give you a day, please help each other to take these movements. Second, facts speak louder than words. There is no ready-made background music for this dance. You should practice your movements today. I'll get the background music when I go back today. Tomorrow, I'll come with my video equipment and musical instruments. We'll rehearse with background music and record the rehearsal. Let's see what the effect is"Background music? What are you doing today? Can you do it? " Chen Chen looks at Xiao Yao. Although he is familiar with hip-hop music, he doesn't have the ability to compose music, so it's incredible for Xiao Yao to make background music one day.

"Tomorrow you will know." Xiao Yao said with a smile, "it's getting late, so I'll go back first. I'll come over at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Do you have any time problems? "

"No problem. We'll wait to see what the effect of your choreography is." Chen Chen took a picture of Xiao Yaodao.

"OK, see you tomorrow." Xiao Yao reaches out his fist to touch Chen Chen, and beckons to Cheng Xi. It's good-bye.
