Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

"Don't worry about this. The Korean dance teacher I hired is the best." Wu Lan said with a smile.

The next morning, Wu Lan called Zheng Minzhen as soon as she got to work and asked her to come to her office.

Within a few minutes, the sound of Zheng Minzhen's high heels was heard from outside the corridor. The door opened and Zheng Minzhen walked in, followed by a translator.

"Miss Zheng." A smile appeared on Wu Lan's face: "I have a song here. Listen to it. What do you think?"

After saying that, Wu Lan turned on the computer, and a cheerful song played.

It's the song "Pure Land"

Zheng Minzhen became more and more surprised as she listened. Finally, there was a hint of frustration on her face, but she recovered quickly.

"Is it written by that Mr. Yu Dongqing?"

"Yeah, what do you think?"

"It's a rare dance song." Zheng Minzhen had to admit: "It can be H.Dgirls' first single."

"Since Miss Zheng thinks so too, I'll ask you to choreograph it."

"Don't worry, Director Wu, I arranged it carefully. As for which song Mr. Pu wrote?" Zheng Minzhen asked.

"I also decided to stay. H.Dgirls needs more than one song." Wu Lan replied.

"Since Mr. Yu can write such dance music, why don't you continue to look for him?" Zheng Minzhen asked in confusion.

"Him?" A wry smile appeared on Wu Lan's face.

"It's hard to find him to write songs for."

is it hard?

At this time, Yu Dongqing was watching a group of old men playing chess under the shade of the trees by Rending Lake. He received a call from Wu Lan saying that he was willing to buy the right to sing this song.

She knew that Yu Dongqing never sold the copyright of songs.

"Okay, you'd better talk to Yang Liu about the specific contract." Yu Dongqing said.

"Okay, when the time comes, H.Dgirls' dance choreography will be ready. I'd like you to enjoy it and give me your opinions." Wu Lan finally said.

"Ha, didn't you hire a Korean dance teacher?" Yu Dongqing asked.

"Before the official performance, it should always be checked by professionals."

Ah?

When did I become a professional?

"Okay, okay, I'll hang up if it doesn't matter." Yu Dongqing hung up the phone after saying that, and was watching chess with great interest.

Yu Dongqing didn't take this matter to heart. A few days later, Yu Dongqing suddenly received a call from Wu Lan, asking him to come to the company at work tomorrow afternoon. The choreography of "Pure Land" had been completed. Ask him to come and take a look.

Yu Dongqing didn't want to go.

The day was getting hotter and hotter. It was better in the morning, but by noon I was sweating every time I moved.

"Do you really want me to come over? Aren't there a few choreographers in the company?" Yu Dongqing said while looking at the bright sun outside.

"Why don't you come and take a look? How about I drive to pick you up?"

"How dare you trouble me, Director Wu?" Yu Dongqing also joked: "Okay, I'll come when the time comes."

With Wu Lan's attitude, he couldn't refuse anymore. Besides, he also wanted to see what kind of choreography the Korean dance teacher was doing.

After eating at noon the next day, Yu Dongqing changed her clothes and drove straight to the Jinye Records Building in Hujialou under the scorching sun.

It had been two years since he had entered this building, but someone greeted him immediately when he entered.

"Mr. Yu"

"Teacher Yu"

But no one calls him "Brother Yu"

Many of them are old employees. Yu Dongqing knows them all and greets them with a smile.

After getting on the elevator to the seventh floor, Yu Dongqing entered the training room. A group of girls were dancing to the accompaniment. Yu Dongqing caught a glimpse of Liu Zhiqi in the middle.

The girl also saw Yu Dongqing coming in, and just smiled shyly as a greeting.

Wu Lan was also there, and next to him was a woman with short dyed yellow hair and wearing a practice skirt. Yu Dongqing was probably the dance teacher Wu Lan was talking about.

Seeing Yu Dongqing come in, Wu Lan introduced each other first. Zheng Minzhen was quite polite and said, "Mr. Yu is welcome to give guidance."

"There, Miss Zheng, you are a dance expert, I am a layman, come and have a look." Yu Dongqing was very humble.

Zheng Minzhen was very satisfied with Yu Dongqing's attitude.

To be honest, when she heard Wu Lan said that Yu Dongqing was coming to see him, she firmly opposed it.

Although he writes good songs, it doesn't mean he knows how to dance!

What would a layman do to mix things up?

But Wu Lan strongly asked him to come, saying that he wrote the song and it was understandable to come and take a look, so Zheng Minzhen had no choice but to give up.

"Girls, do it again!" Zheng Minzhen clapped her hands and said loudly.

The girls who were resting in twos and threes quickly lined up. Soon the dance music started again and the girls started dancing.

It's not the artificial sound I sent to Wu Lan, but the one sung by members of H.Dgirls!

Yu Dongqing even heard Liu Ziqi's voice.

"We re-recorded it, what do you think of their singing?" Wu Lan asked in a low voice.

"Not bad." Yu Dongqing nodded.

It feels a bit like the original Space-Time Rocket Girl 101, especially Liu Zhiqi's voice, which is similar to Duan Aojuan's, and the tone of God's love, the first-class voice is "skin-like".

But this dance.

It’s a complete copy of Korean dance.

Come to think of it, Zheng Minzhen is originally Korean.

However, this song "Pure Land" was a Japanese song in the original time and space, and the choreography is also full of Japanese style.

Overall it's pretty good.

It just lacks the amazing feeling of seeing Miyori Mei singing and dancing in COS clothes in the original time and space.

After the girls finished dancing, Wu Lan asked Yu Dongqing with a smile: "Dongqing, what do you think of the dance?"

"It's okay, not bad."

Well enough?

good?

Wu Lan, who knew Yu Dongqing well, knew that there must be something he was dissatisfied with when he heard his tone of voice, but it was just his character that he didn't want to talk about the bad things about others.

"Holly, I understand you. You must be dissatisfied with what you said." Wu Lan said, "You can say whatever you want. You are not an outsider."

"Overall, it's okay, but I think it still lacks a refreshing feeling." Yu Dongqing thought for a while and said.

A translator had already told Zheng Minzhen about the conversation between the two, and Zheng Minzhen was a little angry when she heard it.

This is pure amateur nonsense!

To be honest, in order to choreograph this song, Zheng Minzhen designed several different sets of moves based on various dance choreographies of Korean girl groups in China. Finally, she selected this set of dance moves after the girls tried them out.

She spent a lot of effort, but some people said there was nothing new?

Thinking of this, Zheng Minzhen couldn't help but interjected: "My eyes lit up? I don't know what Mr. Yu said about his eyes lighting up."

"Haha, it's my personal feeling. Just say it casually. Miss Zheng, you don't have to worry about it." Yu Dongqing smiled.

"I heard that the dance of the song "Let's Come Together" was also choreographed by you, Mr. Yu?" Zheng Minzhen suddenly changed the subject.

"Huh? Have you seen that video too? I just choreographed a few moves, mainly because the music and dance teacher is great."

Yu Dongqing said.

To be honest, he was very surprised by the choreography ability of the music and dance teacher at Yu Tongtong School. He was very professional, but it was a pity that he only became a primary school dance teacher.

"Judging from that dance, Mr. Yu also knows how to choreograph. This song was also written by you. How about you try to choreograph this part?"

Me as a choreographer?

What's the meaning?
