Chapter 23 Chapter 23 Dance Quiz
Lu Yao was puzzled.
Ding Ling explained, "You've been public for over a week now, so I wanted to ask how you've been feeling lately. Is there anything you're not adapting to, whether it's practice or life?"
Lu Yao shook his head: "No."
"Haha, that's good." Ding Ling laughed dryly. "By the way, do you play with your phone a lot? You're still young, so you shouldn't play with your phone too much, and you shouldn't go online. When you have time, practice more. You don't have much time to practice, so you can't catch up with others in a short time, but you can't fall too far behind, right? If you have any questions, come to me and we'll solve them, okay?"
Ding Ling looked into Lu Yao's eyes, trying to make Lu Yao see her earnestness and sincerity.
Lu Yao lowered his eyes: "Don't worry, the comments online will not affect me, just say what you want to say."
——No need to beat around the bush.
Ding Ling understood.
But was this what Ding Ling had in mind? She directly mentioned the online comments, so doesn't that make her seem like she was deliberately bringing it up? If Lu Yao hadn't seen the film, and she mentioned it, maybe he would actually have gone to see it.
If you ask what is the most difficult thing about leading a training system in recent years, caring about the mental state of the trainees is definitely the first one.
You can't say it too lightly, nor can you say it too harshly. You have to carefully grasp the degree and go over a sentence in your mind three hundred times. Only then can the trainees grow up healthily.
I thought the dawn of victory was just ahead, but now another one comes.
restart.
Ding Ling felt sad, but she couldn't say it.
"Have you read the online reviews?"
Lu Yao nodded: "I saw it."
Even if Ding Ling tried to control her expression this time, she couldn't smile.
"Are you okay?"
Since Lu Yao was made public, Minghui Entertainment has released two materials, three Weibo posts, and three short videos.
The short video did not feature Lu Yao, which was fine, but the situation in the materials and the comments below on Weibo was not so good.
The company anticipated this situation and couldn't prevent it. This is a necessary step for all new trainees.
Other trainees have their parents’ counseling, so their own situations may be better, but Lu Yao only has himself, and it is difficult for Ding Ling to really understand Lu Yao’s condition.
"If you have any questions, come to me. If I'm not here, go to Li Qiang and Xu Bin. Got it?"
"I see."
"Okay." Ding Ling sighed, "Go to class."
"Okay." Lu Yao turned around and pushed the door.
Ding Ling was about to leave when a voice suddenly rang out from the practice room, "Lingling, are you free now?"
Ding Ling stopped and turned around. It was the dance teacher. "What's wrong?"
The dance teacher came over and said, "Today is a small test. If you are free, please stay and watch it together. We can talk after you finish it."
Ding Ling knew about the quiz, which was the dance teacher's test of the trainees' short-term practice.
Sometimes the dance teacher would take videos of trainees who performed well and send them to her and Sun Yutong, so that she and Sun Yutong could understand the trainees' situation.
But usually when posting a video he would just emphasize a few words that this video must be watched, but why did he ask her to stay and watch it this time?
Ding Ling's daily work is not easy, so she rarely goes into the practice room to watch the trainees practice for a long time.
Even knowing this, the dance teacher still spoke...
Ding Ling's mind raced, and she nodded slightly: "You're still free, so I'll take a look too."
The trainees were obviously surprised to see Ding Ling coming in. Lu Yao walked back to the corner and stood still. The dance teacher had already brought Ding Ling to the front of the group.
"Today is the quiz we agreed on to test everyone's learning from last week. Let's start with 'Neon Lights'."
"Neon Lights" is a new song released by the second-generation group in the first half of the year. It has been loved by many fans for its decadent style and dance steps.
It has to be said that the choice of performing this song at the Fifth Generation concert was equivalent to booking a wave of criticism in advance.
But it would be a waste not to take advantage of the popularity of the same company, and there is no need to pay any publishing fees. Why not kill two birds with one stone?
"One minute per person, and when one person finishes dancing, the next one takes over."
The dance teacher started playing music.
As soon as the music of "Neon Lights" sounded, Qiao Sinian's momentum changed and he assumed the starting position.
He raised his hand, swung his arm, lowered his shoulders, and raised his other hand high with the movement. Qiao Sinian tilted his face to the side, his eyes slightly drooped, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised. He had just turned eighteen and exuded a subtle charm between a boy and a man - he had learned to show his sexiness.
Ding Ling raised her eyebrows.
The biggest difference between the training-based boy groups and other boy groups is that the boy groups are mature artists as soon as they debut, while the training-based boy groups are just children when they appear in the public eye.
Fans accompany these children as they grow up, from childhood to adolescence and then to adulthood. During this process, the training system is almost isolated from words such as sexy, mature, and manly.
Even after they debut as a group, for a long time, the impression they leave on fans will still be their chubby faces from their childhood.
It is not until the age of twenty, twenty-five, or even thirty that they can gradually get rid of this impression and let people focus on their masculinity rather than their youthfulness.
But now, Qiao Sinian unexpectedly digested this style that was not compatible with the eighteen-year-old training system very well, and did not feel as awkward as Ding Ling had imagined.
The minute ended quickly, and Ding Ling couldn't help but admire in her heart.
As expected, it’s Qiao Sinian.
The dance teacher had already called out the next person's name in advance.
"Wan Yuan State."
Wanyuanzhou walked to the front of the crowd, following the rhythm. Qiao Sinian spun around and returned to the crowd. Soon, the music became more intense and Wanyuanzhou's movements became more flamboyant.
Ding Ling's eyebrows, which had just raised, fell again.
Wanyuanzhou is currently the tallest among the fifth generation.
With a height of 1.88 meters, he has long limbs and a huge frame in every move, which should give him an advantage in dancing, but Wan Yuanzhou has a big problem: strength.
He seems unable to change the intensity of his dance according to the style of each song, and sometimes he tends to overdo it.
But the song "Neon Lights" does not require such a strong force.
Coupled with Wanyuanzhou's almost non-existent expression management during practice, after watching Wanyuanzhou for a minute, Ding Ling felt that she only saw a ferocious strong man.
I declined. I declined.
Next is Wuhai.
Wuhai and Wanyuanzhou are completely opposite.
Wu Hai, who is 1.79 meters tall, is almost smaller than Wanyuanzhou. His strength is just right in this song, and his facial expression management is also on point. His every move and gesture does not give the awkward feeling of a child forcing himself into an adult's suit.
But, how to say it.
Although Ding Ling really didn't want to say this, sometimes people have to acknowledge some facts that they must accept in the process of growing up.
Wu Hai - grew ugly.
The training system is bound to encounter these problems, just like those trainees who were trained as lead singers before their voices changed, but whose vocal conditions plummeted after their voices changed. Although the probability of their appearance becoming disfigured is smaller due to the dual confirmation of their parents' genes and bone structure, after five generations of training, this situation is impossible not to happen.
Wu Hai was indeed pretty and cute when he was young, and his cheerful personality made him very lovable.
But as he got older, his face became less and less like before.
The fans of the training system are loyal and doting. On the surface, Wu Hai still has a lot of fans, but Ding Ling knows that the real departure is silent. When the number of fans of others is increasing, the number of Wu Hai's fans remains unchanged, which is enough to explain the problem.
After Wu Hai finished dancing, Ding Ling sighed in her heart, and the music came to an end.
The next person steps forward and the music starts over again.
Jiang Mu.
He danced the same part as Qiao Sinian.
Although Ding Ling knew she needed to remain objective, she found it difficult to control her desire to compare the two performances of the same part, one before and one after.
Jiang Mu is shorter than Wu Hai. Although she hasn't measured his height for some time, Ding Ling estimates that he should be around 1.75 meters tall.
The influence of the 'petite' figure in dance is obvious. For the same movement, Qiao Sinian's 1.8-meter height brings a better sense of extension than Jiang Mu, not to mention that Qiao Sinian has better body control. He is also more comfortable in dancing, as if he has become one with the music. The dance movements flow out naturally from his body, unlike Jiang Mu now, who is still stuck at the stage of dancing.
But Qiao Sinian's dancing skills are among the best in the entire fifth generation, and Ding Ling knows that she cannot compare with Jiang Mu and Qiao Sinian.
Although Jiang Mu's performance was not the most outstanding, it was still remarkable enough.
It's already excellent to have mastered the dance to this level in just one week.
If you spend some time practicing afterwards, the results will be much better.
Jiang Mu stepped back, Huang Xi stepped forward, and Ding Ling began to watch with tolerance.
Although she rarely watches practice, she pays attention to the trainees' learning situation and communicates frequently with the teachers about everyone's performance. Therefore, she knows the characteristics of each trainee.
Huang Xi, she remembered the dance teacher's comment on him: his body was as hard as a brick.
Huang Xi can perform the movements that require strength, but as for the movements that require rhythm and softness, Huang Xi's performance can only be described as showing that he has tried hard.
Just like Huang Xi now, he gives people the feeling that even if he has no credit, he has worked hard.
Ding Ling almost laughed.
After looking at them one by one, although Ding Ling remained silent, she commented on everyone in her mind. Overall, she was neither disappointed nor surprised, and there was no difference from her previous impression.
But the dance teacher's sudden invitation was definitely not without reason. As the music ended, Ding Ling turned her gaze to the last person.
——Lu Yao.
Could he be the reason the dance teacher suddenly spoke up?
With anticipation, the music of "Neon Lights" sounded again. Ding Ling hummed the melody silently, and Lu Yao, who was standing in front of the crowd, also raised his arm quietly.
Exactly the same part as Qiao Sinian.
The fingertips swayed, and the white fingertips slowly slid down the side of the face, lifting the hair and causing the eyelashes to tremble.
Accompanied by a heavy drumbeat, Lu Yao's shoulders drooped and his face moved forward.
Face straight and raise your eyes.
Ding Ling's heart trembled.
