Chapter 456: Twin Flying Together
In the dance studio, Jin Chen, dressed in training clothes, stood in the middle of the room, seriously discussing dance moves with a female teacher beside him, and demonstrating them from time to time.
"Didn't Boss Li say that your best friend is a dancing genius? The choreography she did in school can be used as teaching material."
At one side of the practice room, Meng Bai touched Li Yitong beside him and said, "She's so amazing, so why does she still need a teacher?"
Li Yitong was very convinced of her best friend's dancing talent. Upon hearing this, she explained to the man, "She's not looking for a teacher to teach her, she's looking for someone to discuss choreography with. Daxi's heart is not very good, so she can't do some overly intense movements, so she needs to switch to other styles."
"Oh, yes, I remember she mentioned it once last time."
Meng Bai watched the discussion over there for a long time, but there was no response. He said with some boredom, "You said you wanted to watch Daxi dance, I thought she was just going to dance directly. As a result, you either watched her practice or discussed with others this morning. What's the point?"
"Don't blame me, it was you who insisted on coming."
Li Yitong wrinkled her nose, curved her eyes and showed a funny smile, "Some people get so excited when they hear they're going to watch a girl dance, and we can't stop them."
"That's my yearning for art, okay?" Meng Bai nudges her, "Since you're here, why don't you come over and join me?"
"This... forget it." Li Yitong says with a guilty conscience, "I've changed my profession for so many years, and I've almost forgotten the basics. Besides, I can't do everything, I have to leave some food for others."
"I think you know you can't jump now, so you're embarrassed."
"Who said I can't jump? I'm very light!"
Li Yitong growls in a low voice like a kitten with fur standing on end.
After saying that, she pinches her belly. Well, she has been staying at home without any activities recently, and it seems that she has gained "a little bit".
Seeing her depressed look, Meng Bai puts his arm around her waist, leans in and whispers in her ear, "It's good like this now, I like you to be chubby, it's very comfortable."
"You're chubby!"
Li Yitong can't help but headbutt her, and the two play the game of "you hit me hit you" on the sidelines.
Amidst the laughter, Jin Chen's game finally ends. After saying hello to the choreographer and watching him leave, she turned around and saw a couple "showing affection".
"In public, men and women hugging each other, it's really a decline in morals!"
Jin Chen came over and looked at the two of them jokingly.
"Why, is Teacher Jin coming to participate?" Meng Bai looked up and said shamelessly.
"Don't listen to his nonsense."
Li Yitong patted Meng Bai lightly, stood up and put her coat on her bestie: "Be careful, don't catch a cold. If you catch a cold and have a fever at this time, it's really not easy to treat."
"Well, Tongtong still cares about me, give me a kiss, mua." Jin Chen smiled and kissed his bestie on the face.
After that, the two besties hugged each other and sat down, leaving Meng Bai alone on the other side.
"How are the preparations going?" Li Yitong asked with concern.
"Fortunately, I've never let it go over the years, so there's nothing wrong physically. The choreography may need to be refined a little more later." Jin Chen said, "I just don't know how it will turn out after the show."
"Actually, I don't think we need to worry too much. Meng Bai said before that most of the contestants recruited for this show are singers, and not many can dance." Li Yitong comforted her, "Not to mention that you have the basic strength, and it will definitely be the best if you just show it casually."
"You are more confident than me."
"Of course, we have an insider."
As she spoke, Li Yitong touched Meng Bai on the side: "Mr. Meng, do you have any inside information? Tell us."
"Do you know to call Mr. Meng now? I didn't see anyone say a good word for Mr. Meng just now."
Meng Bai half leaned against the wall behind him, saying in a leisurely tone.
"Hehe, how could that be."
Li Yitong laughed, then came to Meng Bai and helped massage his arms: "Mr. Meng, is this okay?"
"Tsk, it's okay." Meng Bai moved his neck, "It's a bit unbalanced left and right."
Jin Chen reacted immediately after hearing this, and cooperated to move to the other side to blow on his shoulders, and said with a smile: "This strength is okay, Mr. Meng."
"It's so-so."
Li Yitong rolled her eyes, but still forced a smile: "Then can Mr. Meng tell us now?"
"Tell you what?"
"Inside news of the show."
"Oh, you ask this..."
Meng Bai looked at the two pairs of expectant eyes beside him, and said calmly: "I don't know, this show is not my responsibility."
"..."
Looking at the man's proud look, the two women simultaneously felt the urge to pinch him.
Fortunately, Meng Bai immediately said: "Okay, I'm just teasing you. Let me tell you about the general situation of the program. But let me make it clear that I am not responsible for this program, so I only know the general situation. Don't ask me about the details."
Then, he gave a brief introduction to the program "Sisters Riding the Wind and Waves".
Speaking of which, although this program focuses on "30+ sister artists", the competition system is similar to the previous girl group talent show. There are
a total of 30 contestants, and they will form teams to compete in the program. The PK mode of "singing and dancing + three rounds of performances" is also adopted.
"In terms of the competition system, it is similar to the other two programs." Meng Bai said: "Didn't Qiyi TV's "Youth With You 2" start broadcasting a few days ago? You can take a look at that. The basic format is similar."
Since the two programs "Idol Trainee" and "Produce 101" became popular in 2018, idol talent shows have become the most popular program format in the past two years.
I don’t know if they have discussed it privately, but Qiyi TV and Tencent Video are directly confronting each other. Last year, two new boy groups were established, and this year it is the turn of the girl group.
Qiyi TV’s "Youth With You 2" has taken the lead and has been aired in the past few days. It just so happens that everyone is staying at home during this period, so it’s a good opportunity to play the cultivation game together.
The biggest feature of this year’s program is that there are many "returning" contestants, many of whom have participated in "Produce 101" before.
Like Taiyang Chuanhe, Zhao Xiaotang, who was on the show with Yang Chaoyue but was eliminated in the last round of the finals, went to "Youth With You 2" again this time.
In fact, the company did not have high expectations for her at the beginning. She just participated in it as a regular program to increase her popularity, and continued to film after being eliminated.
Unexpectedly, in the first episode, she and another young actor named Yu Shuxin accidentally formed a CP, and were called "Da Yu Haitang" by many viewers, and suddenly became a popular contestant on the show.
"So, comrade Daxi, do you know the best way to increase popularity?" Meng Bai clapped his hands and said, "Promote CP. Female audiences like to watch lesbian CP, and there is no need to worry about scandals. It's a profit without any investment."
"Who should we promote with?" Jin Chen asked.
"Who said it? It depends on who you are destined to be with." Meng Bai spread his hands, "This thing also requires a sense of atmosphere. Sometimes you don't have to grab the one with high popularity."
Jin Chen thought about it and hugged Li Yitong beside him: "It's a pity that Tongtong didn't go with me, otherwise the two of us could have promoted."
"It doesn't matter. I allow you to cheat temporarily on the show." Li Yitong said, "As long as you know how to go home."
"Boss Li, you are generous!" Meng Bai gave a thumbs up and praised beside him.
"I'm talking about Daxi, not you. Don't misinterpret my words casually."
"Well, it's all the same, it's all the same."
"..."
The three of them sat and chatted for a while, and Li Yitong received a work call from the team, which was to coordinate with her for the next schedule. The signal in the practice room was not very good, so she said something and went to the corridor outside to answer it.
Suddenly, only Meng Bai and Jin Chen were left in the room.
"Teacher Meng is very free recently, and she still has time to watch me practice dancing." Jin Chen seemed to move towards Meng Bai casually, leaving only a vague distance between them.
"We have known each other for so long, and I always heard Boss Li brag about how good you dance, but I found out that I have never seen you, so I thought of coming to see you." Meng Bai turned his head and raised his eyebrows at her, "But after being here for a long time, I haven't seen you show your skills properly."
"Well, that's my fault." Jin Chen leaned forward, "Okay, I can't let Boss Meng come here for nothing, wait for me to get ready."
Jin Chen stood up and said, "I'm going to change my clothes, so I'll trouble Boss Meng to help me see how this new choreography works."
"Then you chose the wrong person." Meng Bai said, "I know nothing about dancing."
"It's okay, just be an ordinary audience, anyway, most people can't really tell whether a dance is good or bad."
Jin Chen said, and walked into the changing room on the side of the practice room.
Not long after, the door opened. Meng Bai looked in the direction and his eyes lit up. He saw Jin Chen, who was wearing a Chinese red dress, walking out of the room gracefully.
"What are you wearing..."
"Clothes to match the choreography." Jin Chen shook it left and right. "How is it?"
Meng Bai nodded: "Not bad."
He was indeed not lying. Jin Chen, dressed in red, stood there like a bright flame, elegant and bright, completely different from the usual funny girl style.
Looking at the man's eyes, Jin Chen smiled, then turned on the speakers and tuned up the song she choreographed.
[The wind blows the sand, the butterfly loves the flower, the eternal story
is like the moon in the water, the love is fascinated by the flowers in the mirror,
the bamboo fence, the wooden pipa, the arch bridge,
who is singing under the moon, missing the distant care
...]
As the quiet and graceful music slowly sounded, Jin Chen, dressed in red, fluttered her sleeves, and danced with the melody, like a delicate dragon.
To be honest, Meng Bai always thought that this girl's appearance was not particularly beautiful, and she was a level lower than Li Yitong. Her figure also looked mediocre because of dancing practice.
The only thing that attracted him was probably the identity of "girlfriend's bestie".
But looking at the agile and elegant figure in front of him, he had to admit that when this girl danced, it seemed as if she had received some bonus, and she looked quite amazing.
This is not an illusion. Compared to usual times, Jin Chen's face now has an inexplicable glow, and even her eyes have become exceptionally bright.
Meng Bai couldn't help but think of what she said last time, "I really like dancing."
Sure enough, when people do what they like, they always emit a special glow.
[...
Guessing, guessing, guessing, and making another prediction of
good and bad fortune, or worrying
about your love, love, love, and looking at the end of the world, fate is
playing tricks on people, fate is wrong
...]
Seeing Jin Chen step by step with the climax of the melody, even someone like Meng Bai who doesn't understand dance at all can see that this girl's strength is definitely in the category of being very good.
Meng Bai supported his head with one hand and looked at the flying figures in front of him. He didn't quite understand what was so good about dancing before, but now he realizes that watching this thing through the screen and watching the live version up close are completely two different experiences.
I kind of understand why Evergrande's boss Xu wants to support a dance troupe. It's really interesting to see a row of girls dancing in front of him.
This song is not long, only about three minutes. As the melody paused, Jin Chen also stopped moving, panting slightly.
"Pah pah pah..."
Meng Bai clapped his hands and said, "I now believe that Boss Li did not lie to me. Your talent and strength can really be used as a textbook."
"It's not that exaggerated." Jin Chen calmed his breath, "In fact, the school let my junior sisters learn my dance mainly because the choreography is simpler than that of the teachers, and it is suitable as a transitional exercise in the middle."
"It's okay, don't be so modest, you are not the only academic master in this room." Meng Bai waved his hand, "The script I wrote when I was in school is still being used by the Central Academy of Drama during their year-end rehearsal, and I didn't say anything."
"..."
Seeing the other party's "hiding his achievements and fame", Jin Chen grinned, but did not refute.
If someone else said this, it would be bragging, but for the man in front of him, it might have been the most insignificant achievement.
Thinking of this, she felt moved.
"I wonder if Teacher Meng has time tonight?" Jin Chen said, "I've been thinking about treating you to dinner to thank you for recommending me to the show."
"Thank you, there's no need. You and the show are a two-way choice." Meng Bai said, "But I can still treat you to dinner, but I'm afraid there aren't many places open right now."
"It doesn't matter, you can just go to my house, and it's just right for me and Tongtong to be together." Jin Chen smiled and said, "Before the contract was terminated, I didn't have much schedule, and I was bored at home, so I learned cooking. I can't say it's very good, but... it's okay."
"That's a good relationship..."
Meng Bai was halfway through his speech when the door of the practice room was pushed open and Li Yitong, who had just finished answering the phone, walked in.
"I just heard someone wanted to treat us?" Li Yitong looked at her friend, "Hey, Daxi, when did you change your clothes? Well, this one looks pretty good."
"There is a show stage at the beginning of the show, I asked Teacher Meng to help see if the preparation is good."
Meng Bai said in cooperation, "Among the contestants of this show, you are in the top three."
"Humph, I said Daxi dances well, but you still don't believe me." Li Yitong said proudly, "Oh, it's a pity that I didn't see it."
"It's okay, I still have to practice for a while in the afternoon, and then I'll dance for you."
"Okay!"
...
After lunch at noon, Li Yitong and Jin Chen stayed, and Meng Bai, who had satisfied his curiosity, returned to the company.
Compared with usual times, the building of Arc Light is now much quieter, mainly because most people stay at home and work from home.
Not to mention, although it is working from home, the efficiency does not seem to be affected too much, mainly because there are fewer messy meetings.
Meng Bai has asked each department to summarize which meetings must be held in the future and which are completely useless according to the work results during this period. Keep it up even after you let go, saving everyone's time and energy. After
hanging out at the company for an afternoon, Meng Bai received a call from Li Yitong, and then rushed to a residential area in Chaoyang, where Jin Chen rented a house with three bedrooms and one living room.
Although it is not as spacious as Li Yitong's large flat, it is still no problem to accommodate the three of them.
Dinner was prepared by the two girls, Jin Chen and Li Yitong. It was a simple home-cooked meal. It looked average but tasted pretty good.
Wine is of course indispensable for a dinner party. Li Yitong's alcohol tolerance is average, but she shouts the loudest and lies down the fastest every time.
After a few glasses of wine, her face turned red. After drinking two more glasses with difficulty, she fell down drunk.
"Really, you dare to shout with such a poor alcohol tolerance."
Jin Chen looked at her drunken best friend, shook her head and said something, then looked at Meng Bai who was standing beside her: "Tongtong probably can't leave tonight, Teacher Meng, are you going back, or are you going to stay with me?"
"Do you have a place here?"
"There are still empty rooms." After Jin Chen finished speaking, he smiled with a face that was also seven points drunk: "It's just that the sound insulation effect is average, so Teacher Meng, you have to be quieter at night."
"It's okay, I don't mind you sitting in."
"...Thank you!" "
You're welcome."
After cooperating to put Li Yitong on the bed and lying down, Jin Chen staggered when he walked out and almost fell down. Fortunately, Meng Bai was right next to him, and he subconsciously raised his hand to hold her.
Jin Chen, who was being held, leaned into Meng Bai's arms.
Wine is a medium for sex, not to mention that this pair of men and women have had contact before. In this situation, he entered the state almost without hesitation.
"Um... huh..."
Jin Chen lay on the wall outside the bedroom door, covering his mouth hard to prevent himself from making any sound.
After all, her best friend was sleeping less than two meters away from her, and her best friend's boyfriend was right behind her.
After a long time, accompanied by a voice that was suppressed to the extreme, Jin Chen felt her feet soften, and then her whole body collapsed on the man behind her.
"Okay." She whispered, "Don't wake Tongtong up."
"Why, are you scared?"
"Hehe, you are scared!" Jin Chen said with all her might, not realizing that her voice was trembling.
Meng Bai chuckled and leaned close to her ear: "Very good, I like your tough attitude."
As he said that, he stretched out his hand, picked up the girl horizontally in the air, and strode towards the bedroom.
Jin Chen could no longer hide his panic: "You, what are you going to do?"
"I think Comrade Jin Daxi, you seem to be a little overwhelmed, so let your best friend help you share the burden."
"Are you crazy! Put me down!"
"Girl, you can speak louder and see if Boss Li can wake up."
"You...then be gentle and don't wake her up...um!"
