Chapter 47 Chapter 47 Choreographer
When Lin Xiaoman came back, she was holding an A4-sized paper in her hand. She didn't say anything, as if she was keeping someone in suspense, and her expression was unclear.
This made He Hui, who had been calm, suddenly skip a beat.
"Is it done?" He Hui asked anxiously.
Lin Xiaoman still didn't say anything and handed the paper in her hand directly to her.
The paper still exuded the aroma of ink, and the layout on it was very familiar to He Hui.
「Rank 1 Name Hui HE」
——This is her score sheet.
He Hui started reading from the beginning, and the first line contained the result that she was most concerned about.
Kong Ziqiu on the side tilted his head curiously.
#1
Executed Elements 4T
Base Value 10.3
GOE 0.7
Seven referees gave GOE +1, one gave +2, and one gave 0.
4T was not demoted! Even the GOE is still positive!!
There is a saying in the figure skating world that GOE follows BV. In other words, the judges are more willing to give high scores to skaters who challenge the difficulty.
And today, He Hui said that this unwritten rule is true.
"My 4T is done!" He Hui looked at Lin Xiaoman in a reproachful manner, "Sister Lin, you didn't say anything just now, I thought it was bad news, you scared me to death!"
"Didn't you say..." Lin Xiaoman imitated the way she had just threatened, "You're going to take all the orders?"
He Hui: "Sister Lin, you are so mean."
She curled her lips in annoyance, lowered her head and continued to look at the score sheet in order.
He Hui's second jump in the free skating was 3A+3T, BV12.6, GOE+0.8.
For the third 3A, GOE also received 0.8 bonus points.
He Hui couldn't wait to continue watching and saw her jump combo that was caught in the short program.
"I didn't get caught this time!" She raised her head happily and smiled at Lin Xiaoman, "I paid special attention this time. She can't lie to me again, right?"
Although the GOE of 3Lz+3Lo only added 0.14 points, it had a different weight in He Hui's mind.
Lin Xiaoman: "Well... take a look at the second half."
The next second, He Hui felt like a bucket of cold water was poured on his head.
3Lz's GOE remained stable at 0.7 points, but the next two sets of jumps were -0.5 and -0.8 respectively, which deducted more than half of the points that he had accumulated with great difficulty.
"Isn't that too stingy?!" He Hui shouted angrily.
"I agree." Lin Xiaoman was also helpless.
"......I agree too." Kong Ziqiu agreed a little late.
Alas, when you are in the youth group, you have to bow your head!
Although obviously extremely tired, He Hui still had to attend the award ceremony, and then cooperated with the doping test late at night before she could go back to her room to rest.
The physical exhaustion from the free skating and the relief of finally completing the 4T made He Hui feel sleepy like a tide, and she fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow.
He slept soundly.
*
By completing a quadruple Lutz jump at the World Junior Championships that was certified by the most stringent technical judges, He Hui successfully set off a new round of earthquake in the figure skating circle.
There is still one year until the opening of the Sochi Winter Olympics.
He Hui gently flapped the wings of a butterfly and single-handedly brought women's figure skating into the era of quadruple jumps.
The influence of this butterfly is truly expanding rapidly.
Lin Xiaoman has become the most sought-after coach for the new generation of children, and many have even proposed collaborations to invite Lin Xiaoman to teach summer master classes.
Zhu Jianyong received a stack of new advertising proposals, but he could only reject them with tears and heartache.
CCTV prepared to broadcast the entire World Youth Championships exhibition skating live for the first time, unwilling to miss any opportunity for talented girls to perform. You know, usually only the adult group World Championships and the Olympic Games will also add exhibition skating to the broadcast list.
As for myself, who is the focus of attention?
At this moment, she was being hunted down madly because she overslept.
In the hotel corridor, Lin Xiaoman pressed the doorbell of He Hui's room with her left hand, dialed He Hui's number with her right hand, and called He Hui's name.
There was no movement in the room.
Lin Xiaoman has a slight headache.
She originally wanted to ask the hotel front desk for the room card, but the other party refused her on the grounds of protecting the privacy of the guests.
So Lin Xiaoman had no choice but to wait at the door while continuing to ring the doorbell and make phone calls, taking a two-pronged approach.
The exhibition skating officially starts at 2:30 p.m., but all the contestants need to arrive before 1 p.m. to complete a simple rehearsal together.
Starting from ten o'clock in the morning, Lin Xiaoman tried to contact He Hui, but He Hui seemed to have disappeared and did not respond.
At eleven o'clock, Lin Xiaoman began to look for someone everywhere, confirming that He Hui must have overslept and had not gotten up yet.
After unremitting efforts, He Hui finally heard a slight movement coming from the room.
Crunch——
The door was opened.
He Hui was yawning, with messy hair and sleepy eyes, looking daydreamy. She had none of the burdens of a young lady.
"I'm sorry..." He Hui opened the door, looking sleepy, "I forgot to set the alarm last night."
He Hui invited Lin Xiaoman into the room and picked up the phone from the bedside table.
Dozens of missed calls were clearly visible on the homepage, making He Hui look apologetic again.
How long has it been since you were late?
It is now 12:10 and it takes half an hour to get to the venue from the hotel, which means she only has 20 minutes to pack up.
"Sister Lin, please sit down first."
"It's okay, there's still time." Lin Xiaoman was glad that her foresight had kept the situation under control.
He Hui hurried into the bathroom and completed a series of tasks such as washing, changing clothes, etc. at the fastest speed in his life.
After He Hui finished cleaning up, Lin Xiaoman did not blame her.
"I'm mainly worried that you won't have enough to eat." As she said that, Lin Xiaoman handed the extra bread and milk she took for breakfast to He Hui.
The moment He Hui saw the bread, the corners of his mouth immediately drooped.
This looks unpalatable!
Just as I was thinking about how to refuse, Lin Xiaoman gave me a glare.
"Don't be disgusted! If you faint on the court, I will not be responsible for sending you to the hospital." Lin Xiaoman threatened.
He Hui blinked her eyes and obediently accepted the loving breakfast.
As soon as he got on the bus, He Hui quietly hid the bread behind him, hoping to get away with it.
"Cough." Lin Xiaoman coughed lightly and stared at He Hui with a deathly smile.
Oops, my little trick has been discovered.
He Hui had no choice but to smile awkwardly, then finally swallowed the dry and unpalatable bread with milk in small bites.
*
At exactly one o'clock in the afternoon, the car stopped in front of the venue.
"Phew, I made it!" He Hui showed up at the rehearsal site on time and finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you Sister Lin for saving my life!"
Lin Xiaoman: "Well, otherwise people will think we are showing off."
He Hui: “…”
Although her head was still a little dizzy, the content of the rehearsal was not difficult. He Hui slowly followed the rhythm of the choreographer and carefully memorized every movement.
But her expression was always a little confused.
Li Chumiao noticed something was wrong with He Hui and slid over to her. "What's wrong with you? You look listless. Are you too excited about the quad jump and didn't sleep all night?"
"No, on the contrary, I overslept this morning." He Hui yawned again, "I was almost late."
"Yes, you must be exhausted with this difficulty."
Li Chumiao, wearing black leggings, curled up the corners of her mouth and smiled slightly. The flying black eyeliner and smoky makeup made her look full of aura.
He Hui looked at Li Chumiao and slowly remembered that she had made history by finishing 12th in the World Youth Championship.
“Oh, I forgot to congratulate you for finally getting two places for Malaysia.”
Li Chumiao: "The bad news is that not everyone can get MTS. The foundation of figure skating in Malaysia is not very good, I'm sure you know that."
The so-called MTS refers to the minimum total technical score. Only when the score required to participate in the ISU championship is reached during the season, the players will be eligible to represent the country in the World Youth Championship.
Otherwise, even if there is a quota, there may be an embarrassing situation where no one will participate. Not only will it waste a quota, but it will also make the players of this country look really bad.
This situation even happened in China's figure skating event, making netizens feel very disappointed.
Even He Hui, who doesn't skate, has heard about the bloody two low seasons in his previous life.
*
Li Chumiao's exhibition skating was the first program after the opening.
Her style is unique and has a natural appeal. The rock music instantly heated up the atmosphere and the audience immediately applauded and cheered.
He Hui was watching the performance backstage, and she always felt like she had forgotten something...
She stared at the ceiling in a daze, lost in her memories.
"Oh no..." A light flashed through my mind.
This movement attracted the attention of Lin Xiaoman who was standing next to her. She took a deep breath and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Um...I can't seem to remember the choreography for the exhibition skating."
Although it sounds outrageous, He Hui's mind is indeed completely blank at this moment.
In fact, she was so blank that she couldn't even remember what the fixed-point action at the beginning was.
All of He Hui's attention and memory have recently been focused on the extremely difficult free skating "Butterfly Lovers", resulting in her not having performed an exhibition skate since the Croatia station in early October.
If you really count, she hasn't listened to exhibition skating music in four months.
How can I remember what the specific choreography looks like?
Lin Xiaoman knew that after He Hui gave her a surprise, he would definitely give her a shock.
"Then you..." Lin Xiaoman took a deep breath.
She comforted herself, fortunately, the shock this time was not a big problem. The worst result would probably be that thousands of viewers in China would be watching the live broadcast!
"Can you give it some free play?" Lin Xiaoman drew circles in the air, using busyness to cover up her panic. "I think you have a pretty good sense of music. For this kind of lyrical music, there's no need to stick to the rhythm. You can actually give it some free play."
After all, at this time, there is actually no other way except to trust He Hui.
He Hui nodded. I couldn't call Mary now and ask her how she choreographed the performance skating for me.
"Okay, that's the only thing we can do."
He Hui was very active. He found an empty space, put on headphones, and followed the rhythm of the music.
There are still five programs before her exhibition skating begins, and He Hui herself is transforming into a great choreographer backstage, improvising for her own exhibition skating.
This is the scene Li Chumiao saw when she came back:
He Hui, wearing white headphones on her head and a fairy-like costume, stood alone on a cushion, guiding the flow of her body with her arms, and struck several different poses.
This left Li Chumiao stunned.
"Well...is it like this, or is it like this?" He Hui was completely immersed in his own world, muttering to himself.
After trying two moves, He Hui curled her lips and said, "Forget it, I think this looks better."
As for the exhibition skating, He Hui could roughly remember the position of the jump choreography, but what she mainly needed to do now was to reorganize the movements and steps.
"I Dreamed a Dream" played repeatedly in the headphones, and He Hui composed the song bit by bit according to the music.
All the programs I had skated before were pulled out and disassembled in the memory palace, and then put into the new performance skate like a puzzle in a way that did not violate the harmony. The so-called breaking and reorganizing probably refers to now.
Time passed minute by minute, and the music on the field changed four times.
"He Hui, please get ready, you're next."
When the staff came to remind him, He Hui was still doing the final integration.
Time is too tight.
He Hui had to choreograph the last series of rotations and ending pose while waiting at the sidelines.
At this moment, she had taken off her headphones, but the melody seemed to be playing automatically in her ears. She was not impatient, but followed the music step by step, and would stop and think slowly when she got stuck.
Even if it was the last minute, He Hui didn't want to give up the opportunity to take advantage of it.
Lin Xiaoman was sweating coldly when she saw this. Her student's mentality was really invincible.
The CCTV commentator had not yet realized which direction things would develop and was reporting according to the procedure.
"Let's applaud He Hui, the women's singles champion of this year's World Junior Championships! As the first female singles skater in the history of figure skating to have both triple Astro and quadruple Toe jumps, her appearance makes us look forward to the future of Chinese figure skating."
Applause broke out and He Hui walked onto the ice rink with a smile.
"The piece she performed this time was "I Dreamed a Dream," from the musical "Les Miserables."
He Hui encouraged himself silently in his heart and posed in the opening pose he had designed temporarily. Although it was different from what Mary had choreographed, it looked quite decent.
A melodious voice sounded, and He Hui started the performance confidently.
Although it was her first time to choreograph, and she was forced to do it, the result was good. The audience applauded continuously, especially after seeing He Hui's signature 3A, the audience seats were filled with applause.
The choreography idea of the great choreographer He Hui is to show off his skills when in doubt.
After the opening 3A, she choreographed the 3Lz+3Lo that was full of story in this game.
In short, when He Hui realizes that he doesn’t know what the steps are and has no idea of choreography in his head, he will add a jump.
For example, when she reached the repetitive movement in the middle where she had no idea what to do, she suddenly stopped moving and then jumped off the ice cleanly and quickly spun in the air, recreating the 4T in the free skating.
After all, it was a spur-of-the-moment decision, and He Hui's landing on the ice was not stable, so he flipped over.
There was a sense of regret on the field.
As the music entered the second half, He Hui finally remembered some fragments of ancient memories. She mixed these fragments into her free play, creating a special feeling.
Lin Xiaoman was even more frightened.
Oh, this looks different from what I just arranged backstage...
The loyal ice fans who have been following every game of He Hui this season finally couldn't help but raise questions.
“I don’t mean to question it, but the original choreography of He Hui’s free skating shouldn’t look like this, right? My memory tells me that it’s completely different!”
"I'm dying of laughter. It turns out I'm not the only one who discovered the problem!"
“To be honest, it feels like something I made up… Especially the inexplicable quadruple twist in the middle. I don’t even know what to do here, so I’ll just do a quadruple twist for everyone~”
The CCTV commentator also noticed something was wrong.
In order to do her job better, she specifically looked for the performance skating videos of the French and Croatian stations, which were indeed different from the choreography she had seen before.
Moreover, it is very different.
He Hui was making his final steps and spins on the field, but the commentator always felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if he had seen many of these moves before...
"As a long-time fan of Ho Hui, I saw some of the shadows of her program in this exhibition skate."
"But you know what, the He Hui brand stitched monster is quite fitting."
"My mom's filter is too strong. I think my daughter is cute no matter how she slides!!"
The commentator's professionalism allowed him to suppress his doubts and continue his work calmly until the last note fell.
"It was a very beautiful routine of 'I Dreamed a Dream'. He Hui once again showed the audience her amazing signature jumps, 3A and 4T. Let us look forward to her wonderful performance in the Winter Olympics season after she is promoted to a higher group next year."
The World Youth Championship is the end of a season.
This means that after today's performance, the next time we see He Hui, she will be a female singles player in the adult group.
He Hui, who had just returned to the backstage, was given special attention by Lin Xiaoman.
"Next time, can we do two performance skatings in advance?" Lin Xiaoman said helplessly.
She always felt that she was speeding towards a humble position since she became He Hui's coach. Forget it, let her bear the pain of teaching a talented player alone.
"You know you can definitely get into the exhibition skating!"
He Hui nodded obediently and swore: "I definitely remember it clearly."
"You did a good job today." Lin Xiaoman continued to encourage education.
"Really? What do you think about me choreographing an exhibition skate for myself next season?" He Hui suddenly became full of confidence in his work.
Lin Xiaoman:?
She said, "Miss, what we are saying is that we don't have to be so frugal with the choreography fee."
He Hui: “…”
*
The World Youth Championship came to an end. While netizens lamented the passing of time, they also launched a new round of ridicule about He Hui's on-the-spot choreography.
"Congratulations to the great choreographer He Huinian for his promotion to the next group!!"
"I am dying of laughter. Now let me wish my girls a smooth new season and a championship in Sochi!"
"Reporter, can you please ask He Hui whether she choreographed her performance skate herself? This is very important to me."
Normally, there would be no mixed interview area or interview session after the performance skating. But when the reporter saw the third most searched term, he decided to go to the player channel to try to catch He Hui.
The entry clearly reads: #He Hui, the great choreographer#
"He Hui, He Hui, could you please accept an interview? Just one question."
The reporter waited for He Hui at the exit of the backstage passage of the gymnasium, and the cameraman carried the camera nimbly.
He Hui thought it was a familiar CCTV reporter and nodded hesitantly.
Unexpectedly, the other party bombed as soon as he opened his mouth.
"There are many netizens on the Internet who are concerned about whether your exhibition skating program, He Hui, has undergone any changes or adjustments?" The reporter did not directly ask whether it was made up by himself.
"Ah?" He Hui was stunned.
The reporter even opened his mobile phone on the spot to show her the comments from netizens.
The red dot on the camera lit up, capturing every detail of He Hui's expression as he watched the comments.
He Hui felt mixed emotions after reading it, his brows furrowed, and his mind raced.
The main thing is that if I just say that I overslept in the morning and forgot to choreograph, that would be too embarrassing, right?!
Miss He said that she also has the burden of being an idol!
