Tang Beibei answered judge Mu Zhi’s question, “Yes, I choreographed it with guidance from my dance captain.”
“Who is your dance captain?”
Tang Beibei looked at Fu Jin in the audience and waved at him. “Second row, the boy in the blue jacket is my dance captain, a super impressive dancer!” Everyone looked over, and one of the cameras panned and zoomed in. Everyone exclaimed excitedly when they saw that her dance captain was a super good-looking little big brother.
“Your dance captain is very good. Your dance is very emotive.” Freelance dancer judge Cheng Jian was impressed that her captain, who was only in his early twenties, was able to help her achieve that. His skills must be unfathomable.
The choreographer judge, Xu Feng, was still reminiscing about her performance. “I will watch this again when it’s broadcasted on television. I haven’t had enough yet. I hope to see you dance again. Congratulations, you have my vote!”
The dance teacher judge, Mu Zhi, licked her lips. “You did a good job with the choreography, but there are a few movements that I have to point out to you.
When your movements were powerful, your eyes didn t keep up.
“This is a stage performance. You must immerse yourself completely. Your eyes must follow your hands. Your head and hands can’t be doing their own thing…”
Tang Beibei also knew that she picked up a lot of bad habits in her younger days. She was still slowly dropping them now.
“Thank you, teacher. I’ll remember your pointers.”
Mu Zhi looked a little conflicted. She hesitated for a few seconds before she gave Tang Beibei her vote.
Freelance dancer judge Cheng Jian, who aiways had a smiling expression, saw the other two judges vote for Tang Beibei and said, “I admire you very much and look forward to your performance. You have my vote too!”
The emcee was also very excited. “Congratulations to Tang Beibei for getting through with all three votes. She’s the tenth contestant to move on to the next stage with votes from all three judges, and the 46th contestant to compete in the next round.”
Tang Beibei was also very excited. She bowed to the three judges and thanked the emcee before she walked offstage.
She walked up to Fu Jin and thanked him happily.
“I passed, Captain!”
“Yes, you did quite well. If this stage was a little bigger, you would have taken
flight.”
Tang Beibei scratched her head. “Captain, are you complimenting me or saying that I didn’t dance well?”
Ruan Qi smiled and poked her between her eyebrows. “He’s complimenting you. You controlled your strength very well when you leaped. Your movements in the air were also very beautiful, and your spins were solid.
“I used to think that those movements happen only in martial arts films because of special effects. I didn’t expect a real person to be able to defy gravity.”
Fu Jin gave her a look. “Ruan Qi, not bad. You know about gravity!”
Ruan Qi rolled her eyes. “My physics grades in high school were pretty good. I
only became a slacker in university.”
Ruan Qi’s definition of a slacker was relative.
She had never failed any subjects in university and her grades were always average.
Everyone in Fu Jin’s dance troupe were just waiting for the remaining contestants to finish their performances so they could listen to the emcee explain the rules of the ranking competition.
When it was contestant Number 99’s turn, Fu Jin reminded all his trainees, “Watch this next dancer’s performance. He’s the top student of the dance academy of H-University and the champion of last year’s national dance competition.”
One of the trainees exclaimed, “H-University’s dance academy is the best dance academy in the country. Countless students try to get in every year, but they take in very few students. Those who managed to get in are all creme de la creme.”
Fu Jin emphasized, “This person was probably invited by the production team to add star quality to the show. The fee they pay him is probably higher than the prize money for the champion.”
Tang Beibei was speechless. “Is he that good? I must watch carefully then.” Ruan Qi knocked on Tang Beibei’s forehead. “Watch what? Be careful your husband will get angry if you watch another man carefully.”
Tang Beibei rubbed her forehead aggrievedly and put on an innocent expression. “He won’t know if you don’t tell him.”
“Don’t tell who?”
Tang Beibei quickly turned her head when she suddenly heard a familiar voice.
When she saw that it was Jiang Jingchen, she almost jumped up in joy.
“Hubby, why are you here?”
Jiang Jingchen wore a mask and spoke in a muffled voice, but that didn’t hide his cold tone.
“If I didn’t come, you’ll watch another man carefully, huh?”
Tang Beibei was stunned. She scratched her face awkwardly and said, I-I didn’t. Fu Jin instructed me to watch him.”
Fu Jin looked at Tang Beibei in surprise when he heard his name. “Tang Beibei, do you not have a moral bottom line anymore? Where’s your integrity?”
“I-I’ve lost it.”
Tang Beibei looked away guiltily. In the vast universe, her husband was the greatest.
Fu Jin laughed in amusement and said with a chuckle, “Alright, since you’ve
lost your integrity, I’ll pay you less this month.”
“No, don’t, don’t do that. I wanted to watch him myself. It had nothing to do
with you.”
Tang Beibei quickly backtracked at the mention of salary deduction.
She saw that her husband’s face was still sullen and his eyes sharp, so she quickly raised her head and kissed him between his eyebrows.
“Don’t, don’t be angry. I won’t watch him, okay?” She covered her eyes as she spoke.
How could Jiang Jingchen still be angry after she kissed him? He was just teasing her.
He had come long ago to watch her performance. When the spotlight fell on her, she looked like a little fairy that glowed.
He had been standing behind her after she got offstage, waiting for her to notice him.
He didn’t expect this woman to be so excited that she did not even see him.
Even Ruan Qi, who was beside her, could not stand it anymore and deliberately prompted her.
Jiang Jingchen sat down, put Tang Beibei on his lap and moved her hands away from her eyes.
“Go ahead and watch. I’ll watch with you.”
The man on stage was dressed in a loose-fitting Han costume. The music he picked was without lyrics, which was another level of difficulty for dancers because there were no words to help them tell their story.
However, this did not affect Contestant Number 99- He told his story using his dance.
It was a performance that lasted less than two minutes. Tang Beibei swallowed her saliva in shock after watching his dance.
She whispered to Jiang Jingchen, “Did you get it?”
“Hmm, it’s interesting.”
His music was the theme song from Legend of Wukong but without lyrics. However, when people heard this song, they would associate it with the lyrics. However, the dancer did not need the lyrics. He interpreted the music in his own way. The Wukong he understood, or rather, he himself was the enlightened Wukong.
Ruan Qi shook off the goosebumps on her body. “I didn’t quite get what he was trying to say. But just watching the master show off his skills was already a feast for my eyes. Impressive people are indeed very confident!”
Fu Jin recorded a video of his performance. He replayed it for Tang Beibei and said, “His teacher is the top classical dance teacher in the country. She’s considered a national treasure and Jia Ran is one of her disciples.” “Watch more of his videos. It’s best if you can learn all his dances. You will improve by leaps and bounds.”
Tang Beibei watched the video seriously. People said that without comparison, they’d be no hurt.
Everyone told her that she danced beautifully but this Jia Ran didn’t just dance beautifully, his movements were perfect.
“Yes, I’ll start immediately when I get home.”
Jiang Jingchen felt her body tense up and patted her back. “How long has this Jia Ran been learning dance?”
Fu Jin checked on his phone. “He started learning folk dance at the age of six and studied classical dance in university. He’s been dancing for seventeen years.”
Jiang Jingchen comforted the woman in his arms. “He’s been studying dance for seventeen years, but you’ve only been at it for less than a year. You can’t get fat from eating just one bite. Take it slow. If you can’t get to his level in one year, do it again next year and the year after next. A lifetime is very long. If you work hard, you’ll get there.”
Tang Beibei nodded with a smile. She didn’t know if she was responding to him or comforting herself when she said, “Yes, I’m not in a hurry. I’ll work hard.” Jiang Jingchen raised his hand and stroked her cheek. The little woman naturally snuggled against his palm with a happy smile on her face.
Fu Jin looked at the two of them and propped his forehead with one hand. Although Jiang Jingchen was ruthless, he was very gentle and patient towards Tang Beibei. Fu Jin didn’t want to admit defeat, but he didn’t have Jiang Jingchen’s maturity and steadiness.
If he had been more patient and resourceful back then, perhaps the outcome would be different.
When Jia Ran’s dance ended, the audience cheered. It seemed that he had quite a few fans.
Without any suspense, he got through to the next round of the competition. After the elimination round ended, the emcee explained the rules of the ranking competition..
