Chapter 281 Li Zhien tries silky wave, and the scene becomes awkward in seconds
December 11th.
Kakao M Entertainment building.
Four o'clock in the afternoon.
Lee Ji-eun was sitting cross-legged on the floor of the practice room, chatting with the choreographer.
Sudden.
The door of the practice room was gently pushed open, making a slight "creaking" sound.
The sound was particularly clear in the quiet practice room.
Li Zhien's attention was instantly attracted.
Turning around, she saw Jin Qixuan standing at the door, waving at her with a smile.
Seeing this, Lee Ji-eun quickly stood up like a happy little deer and greeted the familiar and warm figure.
"You're here~"
Jin Qixuan steadily caught Li Zhien's flying pounce, put his arms around her slender waist, and turned lightly on the spot.
Then, he put her on the ground, raised his hand to hold Li Zhien's cheek, rubbed it gently, and asked in a low voice: "Did you miss me?"
Li Zhien raised her head and looked at him, her eyes full of smiles and sweetness, nodded, and replied in a soft voice: "Of course I did."
Hearing this, Jin Qixuan raised an ambiguous smile and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Li Zhien chuckled, blinked, and said: "I thought about everything~"
“Cough cough cough…”
Just at this moment, a crisp cough was heard in the room.
Apparently, the choreographer couldn't stand the two of them showing off their affection.
This sweet atmosphere was forcibly interrupted.
Hearing the sound, the two turned their heads, then turned back to smile at each other, held each other's hands, and sat next to the choreographer.
Afterwards, Lee Ji-eun shared her ideas about performance with Kim Ki-hyeon.
"The song we chose for our performance is 'Bad Guy'."
"The design of the stage performance is that I control the whole situation and lure you into falling into the love web I weave step by step."
“You need to sing with a pure and clear voice, and also express a feeling of wanting to refuse but also wanting to welcome.”
Hearing this, Jin Qixuan quickly imagined the scene in his mind and said, "Ah, isn't that a replay of the scene? That's how I was..."
After hearing this, Li Zhien couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Yes, I just want everyone to know how I have fascinated you!"
"You~"
Hearing this, Jin Qixuan smiled and scratched her nose.
Seeing that the two of them were getting close again, the choreographer coughed three times suddenly.
“Cough cough cough!!!”
“…”
Li Zhien sighed helplessly, stood up and went to the corner to press the play button.
Then, her arrangement of "Bad Guy" sounded in the practice room.
Compared with the original song, the adapted version better meets their performance needs.
It can also better highlight their personal characteristics.
Jin Qixuan listened attentively, nodding slightly to the rhythm from time to time.
After the music ends.
He gave a thumbs up to Lee Ji-eun in the corner without hesitation.
Seeing this, Li Zhien smiled proudly.
Then, the choreographer began to choreograph dance moves for the two.
Because the song is sung in sections.
Therefore, the first minute will be Lee Ji-eun's independent stage.
The entrance moves designed by the choreographer for Lee Ji-eun are very simple.
She came on stage with a cat-like walk, an aggressive look in her eyes, and snapped her fingers with her hands in a cool way, while holding the microphone with her other hand and singing rap in a baby voice.
Since the movements were simple, she quickly grasped the essence of them after practicing them several times.
She stepped lightly to the rhythm, and every movement was just right and blended with the music.
Jin Qixuan praised her performance highly and praised her nonchalantly as if it were free.
This also made Li Zhien laugh several times.
After the opening moves are completed, the dancers come on stage.
IU is mainly responsible for the singing part, and occasionally she would gesture gently to the music to form a harmonious response with the dancers.
After all, it is still quite difficult for her to sing and dance purely.
It's like Taegu's singing and dancing to "Why", which almost killed her.
At the end of the first verse, the lyrics "I'm the bad guy..."
The choreographer designed a unique move for Lee Ji-eun.
Li Zhien raised her hand and gently and slowly stroked her neck upwards.
at the same time.
The dancers cooperated with IU's movements tacitly, slowly moving their hands towards IU's chest.
It perfectly echoes her movements, creating a harmonious and unified visual effect.
Then, IU said lazy “Duh”.
The palms on her chest spread out like fairy flowers.
At this time, Lee Ji-eun needs to dance along with the dancers.
After that, Jin Qixuan's dance moves were not difficult either.
Because he is not good at pure singing and dancing performances.
After Jin Qixuan briefly familiarized himself with it a few times, he came to the duet dance part.
"The dance moves here need to be more fluid and express a provocative feeling."
In order to show the essence of this dance more intuitively, the choreographer personally walked up to Kim Ki-hyeon and gave Lee Ji-eun a detailed demonstration.
She raised her fingers and gently lifted Jin Qixuan's chin. As her face got closer, a subtle sense of teasing was perfectly presented.
Then, her body seemed to be infused with magical power and she made three silky smooth wave movements.
Every turn is so smooth, as if waves are rolling freely on the sea.
After the demonstration, the choreographer stepped back, smiled and motioned for IU to come forward and try.
Seeing this, Lee Ji-eun stepped forward and raised her hand to hook Kim Ki-hyeon's chin.
However, when she does the body waves.
The originally agile body now became as stiff as a century-old dead tree, and every movement seemed extremely stiff and clumsy.
Looking at Lee Ji-eun's embarrassed and hard-working appearance, Jin Qixuan couldn't help but hold back his laughter.
After trying a few times, Lee Ji-eun realized her embarrassment.
She stopped, covered her face with her hands, her shoulders trembling slightly, and she laughed at herself for being stupid.
“Jie’en, your body…”
The choreographer shook his head helplessly, then patted her shoulder and said:
“Alright, alright, Jieun, come on, let’s break down the moves so they’re easier to master.”
She then broke down the wave movement into four-eight beats.
Demonstrate and explain at the same time.
Every detail was presented clearly to ensure that IU could fully understand it.
Then, the choreographer clapped his hands, beat the rhythm, and danced with Li Zhien:
"Okay, get ready. Wu Liuqi, go ahead. Lift your chest, lie back, pull your chest in, and lower your hips."
IU stared at the choreographer in the mirror, trying hard to follow the beat and movements.
Her eyes revealed determination and concentration, as if she wanted to engrave every movement into her bones.
"Next, straighten your chest, lie back, pull your chest in, and lower your hips."
The choreographer demonstrated again and IU followed closely.
"Speed up, straighten, lie down, retract, release."
The choreographer increased the tempo and Lee Ji-eun also sped up her movements. Although it was very strenuous, she did not give up.
"It's speeding up, connecting, a wave~"
"Two waves~~"
…
The choreographer has put a lot of effort into this.
She has broken down the movements into minute detail.
It can almost be said that the essence of dance was broken down and fed to IU's mouth.
However, IU perfectly demonstrated the embarrassing situation of "the eyes understand, but the body doesn't obey".
Her body was sometimes as stiff as stone, as if locked in place by a spell, unable to dance to the rhythm of the music;
Sometimes it twists and deforms, like an awkward gymnastics performance, which is far from elegant dance moves.
Jin Qixuan was watching from the side and couldn't help but be curious so he decided to try this move himself.
He wanted to see if the move was really as difficult to pull off as IU showed.
Unexpectedly, Jin Qixuan performed this wave movement quite smoothly, even with a bit of charm.
After completing a few wave movements smoothly, he walked in front of Lee Ji-eun and began to show off his dancing moves in a coquettish manner.
"wow~"
Seeing this, the dancers and choreographers all applauded Jin Qixuan.
When Lee Ji-eun saw that he was trying to irritate her on purpose, her almond-shaped eyes widened and she puffed out her cheeks like a little puffer fish that was about to get angry.
Seeing her like this, Jin Qixuan not only did not restrain himself, but instead acted like a bitch a few more times.
It wasn't until Lee Ji-eun raised her fist that Kim Ki-hyeon calmed down.
Afterwards, the choreographer had to continue to guide her patiently, and IU's movements gradually became smoother and more natural.
When she can make the wave perfectly.
It’s already ten o’clock at night…
After the dance practice.
The two did not leave, but went to the recording studio to practice singing.
Although Jin Qixuan cannot perfectly replicate Bieber's voice, he still has some similar feeling.
But I don’t know whether PD Li is pursuing perfection or deliberately seeking revenge.
Every time Jin Qixuan sang a paragraph, she interrupted him and said it was not acceptable.
Then he had to do it all over again, over and over again.
This went on until Kim Ki-hyeon's voice became hoarse, and Lee Ji-eun finally nodded to show her satisfaction.
"Okay, this time it's good."
Hearing Li Zhien's praise, Jin Qixuan was delighted, but he pretended to be aggrieved on his face and said:
"My throat is about to smoke."
Seeing this, Li Zhien touched his Adam's apple with some heartache and comforted him softly:
"Thank you for your hard work."
"Just say it?"
Hearing this, Li Zhien chuckled, stood on tiptoe, and kissed his throat.
“Is there any relief?”
"Hmm~"
The two smiled at each other, held hands, and walked out of Kakao M company.
On the street late at night.
Neon lights are flashing and stars are shining.
Jin Qixuan drove the car and took Li Zhien slowly towards the way home.
