When Ji Qian and the others returned to the banquet hall, the people inside had already begun the ball's proceedings.
Perhaps to make up for the disappointment of the opening segment being cut short, the assistant director of this ball overruled objections and meticulously designed an entrance segment:
The guests entered in pairs from either side of the staircase and then collaborated to perform a duet dance.
These are the requirements put forward by the assistant director.
Ji Qian expressed deep doubts about whether this plan could be successfully implemented:
"Assistant director, most of the people here are actors, and none of them can dance."
"Um... Qianqian, actually I can dance."
Under Ji Qian's incredulous gaze, Han Mengyao said somewhat shyly:
“I had to play a dancer in a movie before, so I studied for a while.”
"I can do that too!"
After Count Lanruer left, Xu Qi, having regained his composure, continued:
"You should be able to too, right? Didn't the headmistress give us some intensive training?"
"The sales home even has dance classes?"
Han Mengyao never expected that the treatment in modern welfare institutions would be so good.
"Oh, no, that's not it."
Realizing that Han Mengyao had misunderstood, Xu Qi quickly explained:
"There was a charity gala back then, and our dean specially selected a few (seemingly) well-behaved and cute children to participate in order to raise funds."
To avoid stage fright, she even gave us an emergency rehearsal of a duet dance before the party.
“You…” Ji Qian looked at Xu Qi with a complicated expression: “Don’t you feel there’s anything wrong with that dance?”
"ah?"
Xu Qi didn't understand why Ji Qian would ask such a question.
"Great! Then Ms. Ji and Ms. Xu will be in the same group!"
Seeing that things were going badly, the assistant director quickly stepped in and finalized the arrangement.
Immediately afterwards, the assistant director turned his head towards where Mi Yesi was, not daring to meet Ji Qian's gaze at all.
"I can ballroom dance!"
Miyesi appeared very confident, after all, she was probably the person who had attended the most balls.
Back when Mi Yesi was in junior high school, ballroom dancing suddenly became popular in her village. Every night, Mi Yesi would dance with the aunts and uncles in the village under the crooked tree at the entrance of the village.
As for Ying Xu, although he had never learned how to dance a duet, as an idol, he quickly mastered it after watching only a five-minute tutorial video.
The only one left, Wang Yingying, had tears in her eyes and was looking pitifully in the direction where Han Mengyao was:
"I've never learned to dance before, could you teach me, big sister?"
Han Mengyao shuddered at the sharp, sarcastic tone, and was about to politely refuse when she heard Mi Yesi's sarcastic voice:
"Oh dear, little sister can't dance? Well then, let me, your older sister, teach you a little!"
Mi Yesi and Wang Yingying successfully paired up, while Ying Xu was assigned to Han Mengyao.
Because the previous entrance segment was canceled, Director Liu specifically instructed before filming began:
"You all need to be elegant in your behavior. We need to recreate the magnificent scene of a medieval ball in the final cut."
Everyone else readily agreed, but Ji Qian still looked guilty.
The first to appear were Han Mengyao and Ying Xu.
Han Mengyao truly lives up to her title as a film queen. Not only are her dance moves elegant and fluid, but she also perfectly portrays a dignified yet vibrant noble lady with every smile and gesture.
Just a glance is enough to transport you back to that era of extravagance and decadence.
Although Ying Xu doesn't have the same vivid acting skills as Han Mengyao, her dance moves are quite beautiful, and with the help of her costumes, she doesn't feel out of place.
This pairing was a great start, which greatly boosted Director Liu's confidence in the performance of the guests to come.
At Ji Qian's insistence, Mi Yesi and Wang Yingying were the second to appear.
Miyasi's appearance was already on the glamorous side, and now, wearing that court dress typical of the Tudor period, adorned with a lot of jewels and embroidery, only made her look even more beautiful and charming.
Compared to Mi Yesi, Wang Yingying, who was wearing a pink dress, looked much less impressive.
The only saving grace is that Wang Yingying isn't too short, so the contrast between the two standing together isn't too stark.
[Indeed, striking features are a killer in group photos!]
【Ahhhhhh!!! Mimi! Mommy loves you! You're such a beautiful baby!】
Looking at this woman, who would have thought she could do lion dancing?
【Aaaaaah, get away from me!! I finally managed to forget that scene!】
Follow the amazing girl Mi Yesi! She can be elegant at a banquet or perform a lion dance for fun!
[Horizontal inscription: Able to bend and stretch!]
Hahaha, what a steal!
[She's beautiful, but too aggressive. Our Yingying is much better.]
[Yes! Don't listen to their nonsense, Yingying, you'll always be the most beautiful in my heart!]
[Where did this blind man come from, barking like a dog?]
Mi Yesi held Wang Yingying's hand loosely, her eyes filled with ill intent.
Wang Yingying felt a chill creeping down her spine. She feigned innocence and asked Mi Yesi:
"Sister, didn't you say you'd teach me to dance? What should I do next?"
Wang Yingying's words were simple, but in reality, she was using the opportunity to create the image of an ignorant girl who 'wholeheartedly trusts Mi Yesi'.
Mi Yesi failed to grasp the implied meaning in Wang Yingying's words, but Han Mengyao, realizing something was amiss, quickly tried to salvage the situation:
"The ground here is slippery, and you two aren't very skilled at jumping, so be careful not to hurt yourselves."
