Soon it was time for the dance competition, and Yan Xiluo arrived at the venue as promised.
"Luo Luo, I've finally waited for you!"
Ren Ran opened her arms and hugged Yan Xiluo.
"Xiao Ran, it's been a long time."
Yan Xiluo couldn't help but smile when she saw her old friend.
"The competition will start in twenty minutes. You'll find your seat soon."
Ren Ran, as the person in charge of the competition, was also extremely busy and couldn't attend to Yan Xiluo for very long.
"good."
"Luo Luo, there will be a judges' draw to perform on stage later, which may be an impromptu performance."
Ren Ran made sure to inform Yan Xiluo about the important details so that she could be mentally prepared.
"Okay, no problem."
She's an expert at improvisation, and besides, you can't always be the one to draw lots for a performance.
"Then I'll go and get busy."
Ren Ran rushed to the scene to take command.
Yan Xiluo put on the judge's badge, walked into the inner room, and found her seat.
Lan Jingyan happened to arrive at the scene and was about to find her seat when she saw a familiar figure.
"Luo Luo?"
Lan Jingyan called out to Yan Xiluo with surprise and delight.
"Huh? Ah Yan, what are you doing here?"
What's he doing here? Is he here for a competition? Doesn't seem like it.
"Same as you."
Lan Jingyan waved the sign in her hand.
There were two people between them, but Yan Xiluo didn't notice when she arrived. She sat down as soon as she saw her name on the table.
I never would have guessed that Ah Yan could dance. It's unbelievable. I really look forward to seeing him perform one.
"Okay, sit down, it's about to start."
Luo Luo can dance too! How is his girl so amazing? She can do everything!
"good."
Lan Jingyan sat in her seat.
The competition begins
The preliminary and semi-final rounds were selected by uploading videos online.
Today's competition is the final round, and it's a solo dance competition with no restrictions on the style.
The first female contestant danced a Dai ethnic dance, and the average score given by the ten judges was 7 points.
The girl on stage almost cried when she saw her score.
The entire audience was shocked. Were these judges really that strict and demanding in their scoring?
A murmur rippled through the audience.
"Oh my god, they gave the first one a 7? That's so low! The judges are too strict!"
"Yeah, yeah, I'm a little worried about the later matches."
"Hey, look, isn't that Yan Yinran sitting over there? I think her score should be pretty high, maybe she'll be the champion?"
Nothing is absolute; don't speak too definitively.
"She's very talented; she's won numerous awards in many dance competitions."
"I have a bad feeling about today. The game has already damaged our confidence so badly right from the start; it will definitely affect the rest of the matches."
"Congratulations to our contestant number 1 for achieving a score of 7 points. Now, our judges will send a representative to give a summary and comments."
"The Dai dance has beautiful postures and shapes. I didn't see the 'three bends' line in this contestant, and the soul of this dance style was not reflected. Moreover, the dance rhythm was not good, and the sense of rhythm was slightly lacking, so I'm sorry, our judges unanimously gave this conclusion."
The judges' representatives are chosen by all the judges and take turns giving their comments.
"Thank you for your valuable feedback, judges. I will continue to work hard."
Contestant number 1 bowed and then hurriedly ran off the stage.
Several more contestants passed by in succession.
When it was contestant number 5's turn, this girl performed the Latin dance cha-cha.
"First of all, the passion, humor, and liveliness of the cha-cha are not reflected in you. Your facial expressions are too exaggerated and deliberate, a bit too much, and you need to learn to control them. Your rhythm is not good, it always feels like you are rushing to the beat, and your upper body is too swaying! We give you a score of 7.5."
"Thank you, teachers, for pointing out our shortcomings."
Contestant number 5 has left the stage.
Another murmur arose in the audience.
"I think she danced quite well. Were the judges' expectations too high?"
"What do you know? You, a folk dancer, can you understand ballroom dancing? The judges' comments were very fair! She did seem rushed and flustered, and her upper body was all loose and not taut."
"Yes, I also think that the judges' objectivity and strictness are beneficial to everyone's improvement."
Contestant number 9, Yan Yinran, will be performing classical dance.
She was stunned when she saw Yan Xiluo on the judges' panel. What was she doing here? And as a judge? It seemed she had overestimated herself.
Of course she knew how extraordinary the person sitting in her position was. She knew Lan Jingyan could dance, but she truly never expected Yan Xiluo to be like that…
As the dance began, the judges, after watching for so long, finally found one they were satisfied with, and they all nodded in praise. There were also many voices of praise from the audience.
"I believe Yan Yinran can get a high score; she's got it in the bag, right?"
"I also think she danced very well!"
"It's not bad, but it depends on the judges; they have a sharp eye."
This round, it was Yan Xiluo's turn to stand up and give a representative review and summary.
"You achieved nine out of ten in terms of the form and spirit of classical dance, and each pose was quite well done, with good handling of the rhythm. The first half was very good, but you started to relax a bit in the second half, and you were clearly lacking in stamina. You are even panting a bit while standing on the stage now. So we give you 8.5 points."
I accept her assessment that she didn't take revenge on me. What she said is true; I've been lazy lately and haven't been practicing properly, so my stamina is indeed a bit lacking.
When she saw Yan Xiluo, she worried that she would take revenge, after all, she had treated her badly at the clothing store last time, it seemed that she had been narrow-minded.
"Thank you for your comments, judges. I will strengthen my physical training."
Yan Yinran bowed and left the stage.
Meanwhile, Li Shuwen and Yan Youting, who were in the audience, heard Yan Xiluo's voice.
"Youting, did you hear our precious daughter Luoluo's voice? Was it Luoluo giving Ranran her comments?"
Li Shuwen looked at the judges' panel in front of her, trying to find Yan Xiluo.
"I heard it too, it's Luo Luo's voice. How come she's acting as a referee here? Should we send her a message and ask?"
Yan Youting thought he had misheard, but when he realized that Li Shuwen had also heard it, he was certain.
"Let's ask her after we're done! If she forgets to put her phone on silent, sending messages like this will disturb her."
Li Shuwen was still worried that it would disturb her work.
“That’s right, then we’ll go find her after the match.”
This sparked another round of discussion among the audience.
"My God, Yan Yinran danced so well, and she only got 8.5 points!"
"8.5 points is good enough, currently the highest score of the game!"
"Oh no, how low will my score be later!"
The competition continued, and after several contestants had passed, the judges shook their heads during their discussions, giving relatively low scores. Everyone hoped to see more talented individuals.
