Huayu: When the director changed his major

Chapter 88 Xiangshan First Kiss
Jin Chen first returned to the training room next door.

Cheng Xi stayed inside for more than ten minutes.

Finally, he climbed out the window.

I hope this window can stay open forever.

Cheng Xi smiled.

Then he turned and left.

By this time, almost everyone had arrived.

Teacher Jin said it was an hour late, but no one dared to slack off.

After all, according to the plan, I may have to perform on stage tomorrow.

Today we will probably decide on the starting lineup of 8 dancers for tomorrow, and every girl doesn't want to be left behind.

As for Zhang Tianai, her condition has indeed improved a lot, but she is still a little short of being the lead dancer.

Cheng Xi plans to discuss with Teacher Jin later to see if she can get a few seconds of solo dance footage.

If there are more, she won’t be able to stand on her own.

As long as everyone can see her and show her face, that's enough.

As for Li Yitong, she is dancing better and better now. Since she became the lead dancer, she has been dancing harder.

Apart from Jin Chen and Reba, she should be the undisputed third now.

No one complained about arranging her to lead the dance.

Everyone was practicing on their own while watching Cheng Xi who appeared today.

Everyone is curious about what the final list will be.

Jin Chen seemed a little afraid to look at him. He kept avoiding his sight and practicing absent-mindedly on the side.

Only Reba saw her brother coming and ran over happily to say hello.

She also performed a chorus dance for Cheng Xi. Although there was no beat, the rhythm was very good.

This is another improvement.

"Brother, how is it, how is it, have I made progress again?"

Cheng Xi touched her head and said with a smile:

"It's more than just progress, it's just like a fairy dancing."

Unexpectedly, after hearing what Cheng Xi said, Reba became relentless.

She said her brother was just being perfunctory and didn't even read it seriously.

Watching the interaction here, the other 10 dancing girls had their own thoughts in their minds.

What Zhang Tianai was thinking was that the boss was so nice to Reba.

When can you do this to me?

Apart from learning foreign languages ​​with me, he has never been gentle.

I don’t learn anymore. When I enter the practice room, it’s as if I’m not seen.

Jin Chen also noticed the action here when she saw Cheng Xi touching Reba's head.

Thinking back to an hour ago, Cheng Xi did the same thing to him.

I feel so uncomfortable in my heart.

Not long after, Teacher Jin came over.

As soon as I arrived, I apologized to everyone and said I was really sorry for being delayed.

So he immediately gathered everyone together and went through the song first.

Teacher Jin was also talking about the situation of the 10 girls next to Cheng Xi.

Of course, in addition to Li Yitong, there are 9 other girls, two of whom will be substitutes.

They will not be in tomorrow's starting lineup.

Although Zhang Tianai's dancing skills are average, she is a member of the studio and the original singer after all.

So it must be on.

After discussing it for a while, we decided to do it no matter how difficult it was.

So the two people hesitated for a moment, and finally crossed out the two names.

As for whether Zhang Tianai could arrange a 5-second solo dance, I also talked to Teacher Jin about it.

She said she could practice now, but if the effect was not good, she would have to remove it.

When Cheng Xi heard this, he agreed.

It depends on her own decision.

This arrangement is worth the tuition for learning a foreign language.

So Teacher Jin announced the relevant decisions and starting lineup on behalf of Cheng Xi.

After all, he was her own student, so her words would be easier for people to accept than Cheng Xi's.

Suddenly, the two girls who were not selected burst into tears.

After all, I put in so much effort and I got home so late during the Spring Festival.

Unexpectedly, I still couldn’t perform on stage.

Although Cheng Xi felt a little sorry for what he saw, there was nothing he could do. The others were also working very hard and doing very well, so everything depended on their level.

All I can say is, I wish them better luck next time.

The next day, Cheng Xi chartered a car and took everyone who had already gathered at the entrance of Beijing Dance Academy.

Cheng Xi had already greeted Mr. Zeng a long time ago.

Borrow their stage, equipment, cameras, staff, etc.

Of course, Cheng Xi paid the fee.

I can't be so open with Mr. Zeng and continue to do the same things as before, using the recording studio for free.

After all, my wallet is much fatter now than before.

As for the makeup artists, Teacher Jin found a familiar team to do it for everyone.

In the car, everyone was chattering excitedly.

It wasn't long before we arrived at Sohu headquarters.

As usual, Secretary Hu took everyone to the dance studio.

He also specially apologized to Cheng Xi on behalf of Mr. Zeng, as Mr. Zeng really had some things to finalize before the New Year.

So I don’t have time, today’s schedule is full.

Cheng Xi certainly expressed his understanding.

Secretary Hu was also miserable. On the 25th day of the lunar year, he was still busy at Sohu accompanying his boss.

This is what being a secretary is like. As long as the boss is busy, you can't leave.

But at the same time, the more experience you have, the faster you will be promoted.

After Cheng Xi arrived at the studio, he looked at the bright stage and felt very satisfied.

I guess this was also something that Mr. Zeng specially kept for Cheng Xi.

The overall effect of the stage is good, and it is also coordinated with some special effects.

Although it is not as advanced as it will be in a decade or so, it is still very advanced now.

It will not delay the effect of the film.

After an hour of standing rehearsal, everyone had basically found their position on the stage.

After all, we had been rehearsing in the practice room before.

Now we have arrived at a new stage and need to remember the respective position markers again.

The opening was the same, except that Jin Chen was alone before.

Now there are three people.

Reba was crawling in the center, leading the way.

Jin Chen and Li Yitong were behind her.

As the music started, everyone started moving.

Cheng Xi specially arranged several more cameras this time, and shot from several different positions for long, medium and close shots.

Cheng Xi didn't really want to edit it, he wanted to create the feeling of being there.

If you edit it, the workload will increase and it may become incoherent.

The dance loses its flavor.

Watching Reba, Jin Chen and Li Yitong spinning around in their red skirts.

Cheng Xi admitted that he was moved by the dance.

It is no worse than the original version of "Fortune Telling".

He also asked for close-ups of each of the three people, so that he could cut the shots and show each of them separately.

Everyone has their own unique characteristics.

It should give the audience a great shock.

Of course, the main camera of Reba definitely occupies the longest proportion of time.

He wants to ensure that Reba appears in this dance.

Finally, there is a 5-second solo dance by Zhang Tianai, which is arranged at the back third, and the effect is also good.

It even feels like a little Easter egg.

Because Zhang Tianai was the original singer, no one may have noticed that she was among the dancers at first.

I thought she wasn't involved.

If he comes out to perform solo later, the atmosphere can be raised to a higher level.

After everyone's joint efforts, the dance was finally rehearsed in the evening. When Cheng Xi said it was finished, everyone started dancing and laughing.

Some girls even hugged each other.

Because it's really not easy.

Finally, Cheng Xi gave everyone a small red envelope, including the two girls who were not selected. Cheng Xi also encouraged them individually.

Then there are all the Sohu staff who participated in this filming.

After all, it’s the 25th day of the lunar year, and everyone is following you.

I still remember this feeling.

You can give less, but you can't show no appreciation at all.

Finally, I gave Teacher Jin a big red envelope.

The fact that this dance can produce such an effect is inseparable from her strong support.

Both parties expressed that they would like to cooperate more next time if there is an opportunity!

Of course there is no problem with that. I still want to form a dance troupe, so how could I let go of this ready-made mama-san?

I just don’t know what Teacher Jin felt after knowing my thoughts.

After everyone changed back into their own clothes, Cheng Xi invited everyone to have a midnight snack together.

Since Cheng Xi said that everyone could eat as much as they wanted, everyone shook off their recent fatigue and started eating and drinking happily.

Seeing that everyone was wearing their usual clothes, Cheng Xi felt a little unrecognizable.

And they all seem to be able to drink quite well.

Teacher Jin saw this but did not stop everyone, after all, it was the last gathering before the New Year.

It’s okay for young people to be a little crazy together, as long as nothing goes wrong.

I just don’t know how these dancing girls have developed such a good alcohol tolerance.

So everyone enjoyed half the evening happily.

Finally, the bus took everyone back to the dance academy.

Originally, Cheng Xi was planning to say hello to Jin Chen, but he didn't expect Jin Chen to get off the car with everyone early.

It was like she was deliberately avoiding him.

Cheng Xi gave up.

Then the driver took him, Reba and Zhang Tianai back to the Film Academy.

As usual, Cheng Xi and Reba strolled for another ten minutes.

Cheng Xi felt that Reba seemed a little depressed.

When they arrived at the girls' dormitory, Cheng Xi said to Reba:
"Why, the dance rehearsal is over, and I can't bear to leave everyone!"

"certainly not."

Reba said as if she was very aggrieved.

I just can't bear to leave you, idiot.

Also, the trip to Yanjing that I was promised has not been fulfilled yet!
I don’t want to go back without doing anything!
Cheng Xi naturally knew why Reba was unhappy, so he stopped pretending and said directly:
"You, go to bed early today. Get up early tomorrow and I'll take you out to play!"

Sure enough, when Reba heard that her brother was taking her out to play, she instantly became happy and asked where we were going.

It makes people think that the person who was sad just now was another person.

"Because today is the 25th, let's plan to have two days of fun this time. I'll book a flight for you back to the Western Regions on the morning of the 28th, and your brother will also fly back to Jiangnan City."

"Yeah~ Brother is so nice! I thought he forgot what he promised me!"

Reba also made a scissors gesture at Cheng Xi.

"How could that be? Brother will do what he says to you!"

"Brother is so kind!"

"We'll gather here at 7 o'clock tomorrow."

"it is good!"

"See you tomorrow!"

"Brother, see you tomorrow."

Since Reba has been dancing recently, Cheng Xi arranged all these things in his free time.

The next morning, the driver hired by Cheng Xi drove the studio's nanny car to wait at the entrance of the college.

Reba got into the car happily with her brother.

Cheng Xi's plan is to go to the Great Wall on the morning of the 26th day of the first lunar month and visit the night market in the evening.

The Film Academy is only about 40 to 50 minutes’ drive from the Badaling Great Wall, which is quite close.

As it is the end of the year, college students and people who have moved to Beijing have all returned home.

Traffic in Yanjing then improved, and the number of cars on the main roads seemed to decrease.

The journey was smooth and they arrived at around 8 o'clock.

Cheng Xi then picked up his SLR camera and took Reba to climb the Great Wall while taking a lot of photos of her.

The two of them chased each other all the way, having a great time.

In the end, both of them were exhausted and out of breath.

But when they reached the top of the Great Wall, the unobstructed view made them feel it was worth it.

By the evening, they were both exhausted after climbing the Great Wall all day.

Unexpectedly, once she arrived at the night market, Reba became full of energy again.

Buy this and that, there are also a lot of food to eat at the night market.

I want to try everything, and give the leftovers to my brother.

As a result, Reba's belly didn't get bigger, but Cheng Xi's belly got bigger because of her.

On the 27th day of the first lunar month, we plan to go to the amusement park in the morning and then set off to Xiangshan to see the night view at around 3 or 4 in the afternoon.

As soon as Reba arrived at the playground in the morning, she opened her arms and ran away.

Like a bird set free, chirping happily.

I want to try every project I see at the amusement park.

First, she competed with her brother in shooting, and Cheng Xi deliberately let her shoot a few times.

Reba was very happy that she won a small prize.

I also want to give the small prize to Brother Cheng Xi.

Later, she pulled Cheng Xi to ride the carousel with her.

Cheng Xi had no choice but to go along and play.

I never played this thing in my previous life.

So a 1.8-meter-tall man rode the wooden horse and turned back to take pictures of Reba.

Reba's long hair is fluttering and her smile is blooming. She looks beautiful and innocent on the wooden horse.

It’s really beautiful.

After playing until around three o'clock in the afternoon, Reba finally left the amusement park reluctantly.

We set off for our last destination - Xiangshan to see the night view.

By the time the two of them finally climbed up, it was almost 8 o'clock in the evening.

Standing on Xiangshan Mountain, looking at the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties in the night, the lights are flashing in a cross pattern.

The buildings and noise in the distance also seemed to be far away.

Cheng Xi couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.

Yanjing only seems so gentle at this moment.

It has put away its sharp teeth,

Just show your beautiful side.

At this time, the moon had quietly climbed up to the middle of the sky, and a few floating clouds happened to pass by, wrapping the moon with a black ribbon.

It illuminates everything in the world in a vague way.

Cheng Xi felt as if he had traveled through time and space.

When Reba saw the beautiful scenery at the foot of the mountain, she stood with Cheng Xi.

Enjoy it carefully.

After a while, Reba suddenly turned to Cheng Xi.

Cheng Xi also turned sideways and looked at Reba.

The two looked at each other.

Cheng Xi felt as if the lights of thousands of homes under the Xiangshan Mountain were all housed in these beautiful eyes.

Reba also looked at Cheng Xi, raised her head, and said in a clear and crisp voice:

"Brother, I want you to kiss me."

Cheng Xi looked at the lights of thousands of homes reflected in Reba's eyes, and listened to the girl's direct words, and his heart was beating fast:
"don't want."

Hearing her brother say this, Reba's pupils shrank slightly.

He seemed very surprised and lost.

Seeing this, Cheng Xi stopped teasing her and continued:
"Not just a kiss, I want to kiss you for the rest of my life."

So the two of them didn't hesitate anymore.

Close your eyes.

Kissed.
