Chapter 8: Elegance Never Goes Out of Style

Linda didn't care and said forcefully, "Only the weak are cowardly enough to hate others behind their backs. Don't doubt it, I'm not talking about anyone else, I'm talking about you."

After saying that, Linda took the information and walked away with her back straight.

This made Charlie very angry and full of bitterness.

"This Linda is getting more and more outrageous, like a female devil. My play is going to be dragged down by her.

If she had made it clear from the beginning that she would not let Yuna come to help, I would not have considered Yuna when deciding on the female lead. There are so many female artists in the station, and it is not necessary to have Yuna.

But she didn't say anything at the beginning, and then she stopped me halfway through filming and wouldn't let me leave. Anna, do you think there's any justice in this? She doesn't dare to come openly and only dares to use sneaky means. I really despise her."

Anna asked sympathetically, "What are you going to do with that play of yours? Are you going to abort it?"

"We're already halfway through filming and have invested so much money. If it goes bankrupt, how am I going to explain it to the company?" Charlie said worriedly.

"Now the only option is for the screenwriter to revise the script overnight, kill the heroine, and delete a large number of scenes. But if this is done, the integrity of the story will be destroyed."

Anna couldn't help him either, so she could only comfort him, saying, "Every failure is a learning experience. When you're rehearsing a play in the future, try not to use Linda's artists. She manages her artists very strictly, and no one dares to defy her will."

"So I say she is a female devil, domineering, selfish, and unreasonable."

“The best thing is to have your own people.”

Charlie said: "I mostly work on male dramas, and most of the artists I work with are male artists. Female artists are indeed far behind in this aspect."

Anna smiled and said, "Is that why you're so nervous about this Miss Hong Kong pageant? Are you hoping to recruit a few notable female artists?"

"You're right." Charlie also laughed. "So you have to help me. If our two departments cooperate in the future, I will do my best to help you."

"Saying 'help' is too polite. The Miss Hong Kong pageant every year is a major event related to the company's development. If I can help the company secure good artists, it will only benefit the company. I say I'm helping you, but in fact I'm not helping the company, and me."

"Anna, I really admire your awareness." Charlie said sincerely.

After Hu Xiaoxiao came out of the TV station building, he peeled a favorite yogurt-flavored lollipop and put it in his mouth. It tasted delicious and his mood became cheerful.

The first step, the preliminary round, was successful.

To celebrate the victory, Hu Xiaoxiao packed three chickens at once: boiled chicken, soy sauce chicken, salt-baked chicken, and a bowl of rice noodles.

After returning to the rented house, Hu Xiaoxiao ate the chicken happily while thinking about what to do next.

Talent show?

After eating, Hu Xiaoxiao lazily curled up on the sofa, feeling so comfortable that she really wanted to lick its fur - but she didn't have that desire now.

After running his fingers through his hair, he picked up the newspaper next to him.

In order to integrate into the social environment of Hong Kong City, she began to subscribe to newspapers and various weeklies.

There is also a TV in the rented house, and the daily TV programs are her first way to learn Hong Kong dialect and understand society.

After analysis, Hu Xiaoxiao thought of the talents she should show.

dance.

Disco has been very popular in Hong Kong in recent years. It is not difficult to dance and does not require much dance skills, making it suitable for quick learning.

She still has half a month to learn it.

Hu Xiaoxiao has strong execution ability and does what he says.

Although she likes to curl up in a ball and comb her hair when she has nothing to do...she has changed to combing her hair, but when something happens, she will take action immediately and complete the task as quickly as possible.

Without waiting for the next day, Hu Xiaoxiao went out, found a nearby dance class, and signed up to learn disco.

That day, she only took one class and learned the basic disco steps, including forward and backward steps, turning steps, and up and down steps.

I'm just unskilled and my footwork is awkward.

On the way home, I packed another chicken.

After eating chicken, Hu Xiaoxiao practiced alone at home until late at night, and only went to bed after he became familiar with the steps taught by the teacher.

The next day I got up at noon, had a quick meal and then went to class.

The dance teacher was the same one who had taught her yesterday. She was surprised to see Hu Xiaoxiao's proficiency. "What a sharp move! How did you practice? You're more skilled than others after only three lessons."

Hu Xiaoxiao said proudly, "I'm a fast learner. Teacher, don't hide anything you know. Just teach me."

"Okay, as long as you can learn it, I'll teach you everything I know, and I promise I won't hold anything back."

After learning the footwork, I started practicing the techniques.

Follow the rhythm of the music, how to swing your body naturally, and then integrate it with the footwork.

At the beginning, Hu Xiaoxiao found it difficult to focus on multiple things at once and his dancing was not very natural.

But as she said, she's a fast learner.

The rhythm gradually accelerated and the changes in movements became more and more natural. It took others ten lessons to complete the dance, but she only took three lessons and she danced very well.

In the next class, Hu Xiaoxiao asked the dance teacher to teach her dance music.

After learning and mastering ten dance pieces, Hu Xiaoxiao did not choose to use them directly, and did not want to copy these dance pieces for a talent show.

Disco was introduced from the West, and most of the movements are very bold and fiery. Some exaggerated movements are not suitable for the temperament of Hong Kong beauties.

Hu Xiaoxiao has watched several Miss Hong Kong pageants. After all, Miss Hong Kong represents the image of Hong Kong, and the judges prefer beauties with elegant manners.

If you copy it mechanically and encounter conservative judges, you will definitely suffer a great loss.

Hu Xiaoxiao decided to choreograph for herself.

She bought dozens of videotapes about disco and traditional dance and began to study day and night.

During her studies, she absorbed the passion and boldness of Western dance and integrated it with the restraint and subtlety of Eastern temperament.

The main focus is elegance, which never goes out of style.

Although Hu Xiaoxiao is confident about her appearance, she also has to do everything else perfectly.

She practiced each dance step, pondered each movement, and after practicing once, she would rehearse it in her mind, constantly revising it.

With two days left before the preliminary round, Hu Xiaoxiao went to the training class again and found the dance teacher who taught her the dance.

"Ms. Hu, why are you here? Haven't you finished all the courses?" When the dance teacher saw Hu Xiaoxiao, she was happy to teach such a talented student, but also frustrated by her own lack of professional ability.

"Hello, teacher. I'm here to submit my graduation project."

Graduation project?

The dance teacher was immediately interested and amused. "Come here, the class isn't even started yet in the dance studio. I'm going to check out your graduation piece."

In the dance studio, several dance teachers were already warming up. When they heard for the first time that students were coming to submit their graduation works, they all felt it was interesting and came over to watch.
