Entertaining Children

Chapter 617 Preparing for a Stage Performance

"Xiao Yao oppa is going to attend the opening ceremony of the film festival in the afternoon?" Maknae Huizhen exclaimed in surprise, "Then you will only be here today to choreograph for us in the morning?"

"Yes," Xiao Yao nodded and said, "The dance has already been choreographed, and I can teach you the movements. One morning is enough. You are all artists who have already debuted, so you don't need me to keep practicing?"

"Already edited? It's only been one night?" Yuni asked in surprise.

"You can think that I made it up before." Xiao Yao smiled.

"Okay," Xiao Yao clapped his hands again and said, "Now it's time to teach you the dance moves, but before we start, I have a small gift for you!"

"There are still gifts?" The five girls asked in surprise.

Xiao Yao walked up to Pei Minyi, took out something from the paper bag she was carrying, and held it in his hand, then gestured to Pei Minyi. Pei Minyi took out all the remaining things in the paper bag, walked up to the five girls, and gave one to each of them.

Pei Minyi gave each of the five girls a pair of elastic suspenders on their overalls. The five girls looked at the things in their hands strangely, and the outspoken maknae Huizhen asked, "Is this really a gift for us?"

"Actually not!" Xiao Yao shook his head with a smile, raised the thing in his hand and shook it, "This is an important prop for our dance today, and it needs to be clipped on the trousers. I'm glad you all listened I ordered yesterday that no one will come in one-piece clothes today."

The dance performed by Girl'sDay in the previous life when performing "Expectation" was called "sling dance", and the most impressive thing was the movements of pulling down the straps. Xiao Yao gave Gstar the song "Expectation", which is naturally the original version. The dance moved over.

Considering that not all of the girls have the kind of pants with elastic straps, and they were going to record again yesterday, after Xiao Yao decided to record this song and this dance, he did not ask them to prepare elastic straps by themselves, but At the end of the recording, tell the five girls not to wear one-piece clothes when they come today, and it is best to wear trousers for the lower body. In addition, I sent a message to Pei Minyi, who was going outside to play, and asked her to help buy these elastic straps.

"Dancing props? Do you want to dance with these straps?" Captain Yuni asked.

"Yes!" Xiao Yao said as he took off his heavy coat, clipped the suspenders to his trousers, and took out a USB flash drive from his trouser pocket and handed it over, "Now let's dance again for you to see. Who's going to play some music?"

"I'll go!" Maknae Huizhen took the USB flash drive.

"Is it ok?" After running to the audio equipment and inserting the U disk into the interface,

Huizhen turned her head to look at Xiao Yao.

"Okay, come on!" Xiao Yao, who was standing in the center of the venue, nodded and added with a smile, "This is the dance of the girl group. I may feel a little strange when I dance. Don't laugh too much."

"Okay!" several girls said with a smile.

The music sounded, and Xiao Yao, who was facing several girls from the side, took a step forward, pulled the lower end of the strap on the right side in front of him with his right hand, and turned his right shoulder...

"Wow~" Seeing Xiao Yao's start, the five girls couldn't help crying out. It's not to say how difficult or shocking Xiao Yao's more feminine action is at the beginning, but that when Xiao Yao is doing this action, the eyes that look sideways at them make people feel very charming.

However, the alluring eyes only made the five goddesses feel the expressive power of Xiao Yao's dance. What really surprised them was the dance moves Xiao Yao showed. Like "alone", this is also a dance that looks very sexy to the dancers, especially the movement of Xiao Yao pulling down the straps and twisting his hips with his back to them, which made several girls couldn't help covering their heads and screaming again and again.

Xiao Yao had the experience of teaching the "Green Apple Girls" the "alone" dance a few years ago, and was mentally prepared for the girls' reactions. Amidst the yelling and yelling of several girls, Xiao Yao insisted on not laughing, and danced the whole dance smoothly.

"How do you feel?" After the dance, Xiao Yao asked the girls with a smile.

"Great!" Several girls applauded in disbelief.

"It really is the choreographer who made up the dance of "alone"!" Yuni exclaimed.

"It feels like Xiao Yaoxi knows how to show the sexy beauty of women!" Liu Xiyan also said.

"It seems that you are very satisfied?" Xiao Yao smiled.

"Very satisfied!" The five girls nodded together.

"As long as you are satisfied," Xiao Yao said, "This is all the movements of one of you, and it is also the basic movement in dance. Everyone should learn it. The other four have some different movements, as well as the movements during stage performances. Question, when you can completely dance the basic movements with the music, we will practice and arrange them. Now let’s learn the ones I just did one by one!”

Girl's Day in the previous life was a four-member girl group, while Gstar in front of Xiao Yao was a five-member girl group, the number of them is different. Whether it is the arrangement of songs or dances, it is impossible to be exactly the same as the previous version of Girl's Day, but now Xiao Yao is quite capable in both singing and choreography. He changed the songs and dances of a four-person It is not difficult to perform with five people.

When Xiao Yao finished teaching all the basic movements and was arranging the moves, President Li of KM came to their practice room.

President Li came over to inform Xiao Yao that their company decided to purchase the copyright of "Expectation" and make it the title song of Gstar's comeback album. He wanted to make an appointment with Xiao Yao to discuss and sign a song authorization contract. Second, he wanted to see Xiao Yao choreographed the dance for Gstar, and the third thing is to discuss with Xiao Yao about making an MV for this song by Gstar.

When negotiating the contract, Xiao Yao has always only set a general direction, and the specific details are still left to the broker to discuss in detail. This time Fang still did not come to Korea with him, so Xiao Yao handed over the matter to Pei Minyi. Although Pei Minyi said that she had no intention of changing careers as an agent like Fang Yiran, she also participated in some contract negotiations with Fang Yiran as an assistant. Even if Pei Minyi is not particularly proficient in contract negotiation, she can still communicate with Fang in real time through telephone and online video, so that Fang can still participate and command remotely, anyway Xiao Yao doesn't care.

The dance is not yet complete, and President Li can only take a rough look at it. But even so, President Li felt very satisfied with this dance after seeing the basic dance moves.

It is very common to shoot MVs for songs, and it is even more common to shoot MVs for title songs. The songs of Korean idol groups are usually accompanied by corresponding dances. In many song MVs, there will also be some songs and dance moves. Gstar also plans to shoot some dance moves in the MV of this song, and Xiao Yao is not only the choreographer of this dance, but also has the experience of shooting his own song MV as a director. Of course, President Li also wants Xiao Yao to participate in it .

However, Xiao Yao is not interested in MVs that don't have many specific plots, so he refused to participate in the MV shooting on the grounds that he had to participate in film festival activities and prepare his own Korean songs, and had no time. The shooting of the MV was not within the scope of what was discussed yesterday. President Li just remembered that Xiao Yao had been an MV director, so he gave it a try. Xiao Yao didn't want to participate, and President Li didn't force it. In addition, when Xiao Yao asked his stylist to design performance styles and costumes for the five Gstar girls, President Li thought about it for a while and nodded in agreement.

After Xiao Yao finished talking with President Li, Pei Minyi went to discuss the details of the song copyright contract with President Li, while Xiao Yao stayed in the practice room and continued to help the five girls choreograph.

In one morning, Xiao Yao finished choreographing all the dances of this song. The five girls memorized all the movements and positions during the performance. Although there were occasional mistakes during the practice, they had skipped several times completely and correctly after all, and the difference was only a matter of proficiency.

As for the proficiency issue, the girls can practice on their own, and Xiao Yao doesn't need to be there to stare at it all the time. At noon, Xiao Yao bid farewell to the five girls and left.

At this time, Pei Minyi had finalized the details of the song licensing contract with President Li. Before Xiao Yao left KM Company, he also went to President Li to sign the contract with him. After the contract was signed, President Li also took advantage of the opportunity to invite Xiao Yao to have dinner at noon to celebrate the cooperation between the two parties, but Xiao Yao politely declined on the grounds that he would attend the opening ceremony of the film festival in the afternoon.

As the highest-level film festival in South Korea, the opening ceremony of the Seoul International Film Festival is still very grand. However, Xiao Yao is still a rookie actor in the film industry now, and there are no awards for newcomer actors at this film festival. He has no special tasks at the opening ceremony, that is, to walk the red carpet with the crew.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, the opening ceremony of the Seoul International Film Festival was held on time. The first thing to do was the red carpet ceremony for the stars. All the media gathered on both sides of the red carpet outside the opening ceremony venue. The stars received the cheers and screams of the fans and the baptism of the flashlights from the media reporters.

The red carpet is usually a stage for female stars to compete for beauty. Relatively speaking, male stars rarely shine on the red carpet show. However, Xiao Yao still made a small splash in this red carpet show.

Female celebrities get the limelight on the red carpet show, either because of the dresses they wear, or because of their behavior on the red carpet show, such as taking a fall or something. Men's dress styles are relatively simple, and it is difficult to compare with female stars in this respect. Xiao Yao's limelight is not because of the clothes, and of course it is not because of the wrestling, but because of an interview at the end of the red carpet.

It is a very common process to arrange off-site hosts to conduct on-site interviews with some big-name and popular stars on the red carpet show, and this Seoul International Film Festival also has this arrangement.

As a movie actor, Xiao Yao is just a rookie. But in terms of fame, especially international fame, Xiao Yao, who has been on the Eva Show and the NBA Masters, is really not low. So when he reached the end of the red carpet, Xiao Yao was also stopped by the off-site host for an interview.

Since the name has the word "international", there are quite a few non-Korean stars and media at this film festival. When interviewing non-Korean stars, the off-site hosts all communicate in English, and even when they meet some Korean stars with better English, the off-site hosts will also communicate in English. It happened that during the interview with Xiao Yao, the off-site host spoke Korean.

The off-site host should have a better understanding of Xiao Yao's information, knowing that Xiao Yao's Korean is good, and there is no problem communicating in Korean, so he chose Korean, which was originally used by Korean stars who are not good at English. When interviewing Xiao Yao, he might also want to take the opportunity to let Xiao Yao show off his Korean, but Xiao Yao didn't buy it. Although Xiao Yao didn't pretentiously ask someone to translate the Korean spoken by the host for him, but when faced with the host's Korean questions, Xiao Yao still answered all of them in English.

The off-site host interviewed and asked questions in Korean, and the interviewees answered in English, and the interviewed stars did not wear translation earphones in their ears, and there was no translator on site to provide language translation. This kind of situation is very rare in all interview occasions, not to mention the red carpet show at the film festival. Therefore, such a spectacle has attracted the attention of many media reporters.

After the opening ceremony, this rather interesting scene also appeared in the news reports of many media as a tidbit.

After the red carpet show, Xiao Yao didn't do anything special. After entering the venue, Xiao Yao sat in his seat and watched the entire opening ceremony very quietly.

When the opening ceremony of the film festival ended, it was already evening.

It is rare for Xiao Yao to come to the film festival, and he still wants to watch movies, so after the opening ceremony, he did not rush back to KM company, nor did he go directly to the hotel to rest, but went to see two films that were scheduled to be screened in the evening of the first day Movies to pass the evening.

The next morning, Xiao Yao came to the headquarters of KM company and first checked the dance practice results of the girls of Gstar.

After one afternoon and one night of practice, the five girls danced very well. In Xiao Yao's view, there should be no problem performing on stage.

Because there were only five girls performing on the stage, it seemed a little thin, Xiao Yao asked President Li to add a few female dancers as backup dancers in the middle of the performance when he left yesterday. When Xiao Yao came today, the KM company had prepared female dancers for the five girls, so Xiao Yao arranged a dance for the dancers.

The dancers only appeared in the middle of the song, not for a long time, and there were not many movements, and as backup dancers, their dance movements were not much different from those of the five girl group girls. Xiao Yao had already explained his request yesterday when he asked for a dance group, and those female dancers who were backup dancers had already learned dance moves from five girls in advance. Xiao Yao didn't need to spend any more time teaching the dancing moves of the supporting dancers. He mainly did some choreography of standing and walking during the performance, but it didn't take too long.

After the choreography was completed, Xiao Yao still watched them dance the entire dance and let them practice and get familiar with it by themselves, while he himself plunged into the recording studio to make up his own Korean song.

Xiao Yao's own song was to be released after being on a music program, that is, it was going to be on the program without the sound source, and the only program that could go was the special stage of "Inkigayo" on SBS TV station. KM Company has a very good relationship with this TV station and this program group, and it has basically settled the matter of Xiao Yao's appearance on the program.

"Popular Ballad" is a live broadcast program. Before Xiao Yao is allowed to perform, the program team still needs to listen to the works that Xiao Yao will perform in advance to see Xiao Yao's live performance ability.

The recording and live broadcast of this program is every Sunday afternoon. If Xiao Yao wants to participate in this Sunday's program, he will go to the TV station to give the program group a preview on Saturday afternoon at the latest. Today is already Thursday, and for Xiao Yao who really wants to be on the show this Sunday, time is running out.

However, when Xiao Yao went to the show by himself, he was going to perform as a singer-songwriter. He didn't know how to sing while dancing in idol groups, and he didn't need to prepare for dancing. And he doesn't plan to release the sound source before the show, and he doesn't even need to record the song, he just needs to make the soundtrack and accompaniment, so two days should be enough for him.
