Chapter 247: Happy Chinese New Year

() Hip-hop culture developed in the black areas of the United States after World War II and began to enter the mainstream American culture in the 1970s and 1980s. At the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, Lionel Richie sang "", and two hundred dancers simultaneously

Performing a hip-hop dance, several dancers perform this acrobatic dance that attracts the attention of hundreds of millions of TV viewers around the world.

At that time, the rise of hip-hop culture in the United States also attracted the attention of commercial capital. In the same year, the popularity of a hip-hop movie called "Breaking" is the best example.

In fact, the movie "Breaking" itself shows that hip-hop culture was just recognized by the mainstream commercial media at that time. The movie was based on the mechanical dance of California on the West Coast of the United States, but it was titled Breaking on the East Coast of the United States in New York. At that time, Breaking

The style is still the old style that focuses on technical ground rotation, and the movements are far less rich than other dance styles that were later absorbed.

The movie "Breaking" was translated as "Break Dance" in China. After its introduction in 1987, it spread widely. From time to time on the street, there would be "motor" young people with floral fabrics on their heads and sneakers on their feet performing "Telegraph" and "Space".

The iconic moves of "Break Dance" such as "step" and "glass cleaning".

At that time, Tao Jin, an outstanding dancer who died young, also appeared in China. In 1988, he filmed a hip-hop-themed film "Youth Rock", which was very popular in China and promoted hip-hop dance.

It was called the status of hip-hop at that time.

However, the international situation suddenly changed after that, and "Break Dance", a representative culture of capitalism, disappeared from the mainstream media. Because teenagers who like break dance often have mixed personalities and rebellious behaviors, they were also criticized verbally and written by many conservatives at the time. Domestic development was completely in a slump.

Chao.

It was not until the mid-1990s that Japanese and Korean pop culture gradually heated up in China, and the commercial copycat hip-hop dance with extremely beautiful packaging fully entered the domestic field of vision, and it began to heat up again.

He even performed at the festival party, but he just watched the excitement, and the Japanese and Korean copycat hip-hop dance had not yet begun to spread, and not many of his peers were exposed to and liked hip-hop.

There was no Internet that could be searched at any time, and there were no blockbusters that could be watched at will. Even VCD players were still a luxury item. Video recorders were the only media carrier that allowed them to access more information. At that time, children who were interested in hip-hop dance had quite good family conditions.

Zheng Yue and her family, the poorest of the bunch, also have several TV sets, which ensures that they can watch the videos they want to watch when they are alone in their own room.

Among them, the family conditions of attending a private aristocratic school are even more difficult. Private schools have to flaunt their educational level and have little chance of competing with key schools in subjects such as mathematics and Chinese. However, English is different. For example, Huahua School has its own well-paid foreign teachers.

In this area, it can compete with the best Chongshan Foreign Languages ​​School.

Zheng Yue has an advantage among her classmates. Her parents are already rare millionaires in Chongshan. They specially hired Linda, a foreign teacher from Huahua School, to tutor her in English on weekends. Although the teacher is not particularly interested in hip-hop, she is

She asked for a vacation and brought back a lot of first-hand American hip-hop pictorials and videos.

But Zheng Yue was also dumbfounded at this time. There was no such cool and coherent dance posture in her few video tapes, especially the last one where she stood on her head and elbows, stood upside down and made the letter B in the air with her feet. It was extremely handsome.

, people can only hold their breath hard, otherwise they will scream crazily.

Of course Zheng Yue would not understand that in the 1990s, breaking began to evolve and give birth to a new style. Most of the moves Lu Yang performed just now were gradually developed in the past few years. Her American business magazines and videos have not yet begun to include these latest moves.

chao element.

The whole place was shocked. When Lu Yang dropped a provocative sentence and then pulled Wei Zhixiu away, everyone, including Bingbing who had been coaxing him before, just looked at him to say goodbye, but no one dared to say anything.

.

It only lasted for ten seconds, but the young man's dance was so coherent and full of rhythm, and the ending movements were impossible for anyone here to do.

Ai Zebing came back to his senses and had a bitter look on his face. Normally Zheng Yue would not be convinced when he lost, but occasionally he would be extremely arrogant when he won. This time he lost completely, and this tigress would definitely pull him away.

But the break dance performed by the unknown boy just now was really good. Ai Zebing had heard of this kind of acrobatic dance move, but he had never seen it before, so he couldn't practice it well.

Where did Zheng Yue find this person?

The hip-hop dance circle in Chongshan is very small, and Ai Zebing knows almost all the masters, but this is the first time he saw the unfamiliar face just now.

He must not be an unknown person with such an arrogant tone. Could he be from the provincial capital?

Ai Zebing was wondering and thinking hard, but Zheng Yue said, "That's it for today" and ran out.

When Lu Yang changed his clothes and came out, Zheng Yue had already put on his thick jacket and was laughing with Wei Zhixiu outside the door. Jiang Yaoan even smiled proudly when he saw him coming out, which made it difficult for him to keep a cold face.

"By the way, I remembered that you haven't eaten yet, so I'll treat you to dinner first and then send you back."

Zheng Yue's smile was very sweet. She originally planned to treat them together after it was over. She liked the feeling of having many friends, but now she changed her mind.

Zheng Yue usually has a tomboy personality and usually doesn't like the boys around her, but now that she sees Lu Yang, a boy of about the same age who can dance so well in hip-hop, she doesn't say she likes it, she just wants to know more about this boy.

a little.

Lu Yang originally didn't want to go. Compared to the second-generation officials, he didn't have much desire to make friends with rich second-generation people like Zheng Yue.

But Wei Zhixiu didn't seem to want to reject Zheng Yue's enthusiasm, and Lu Yang was really hungry so he acquiesced.

Zheng Yue happily asked the driver to drive to the parking lot of Huan'an Department Store. She was obviously familiar with this place and took a few people to the western restaurant upstairs.

This kid is really not ordinary, he is so skillful in eating Western food...

Zheng Yue was curious and tried several times to induce Lu Yang to talk but failed, but the other party just took care of Wei Zhixiu beside him indifferently.

Depressed is very depressed, Zheng Yue usually does very well, but the boy opposite is too proud.

But when Zheng Yue looked at the beauty like Sister Wei next to Lu Yang, she felt that she was half a step behind. No wonder the other party was not interested in talking to her.

Fortunately, Jiang Yaoan talked a lot and was very thick-skinned and was not afraid of Lu Yang's cold face, so the atmosphere was not too bad.

Although Sister Wei Zhixiu didn't talk much, Zheng Yue would still answer with a smile when asked anything. She knew that the two of them were living in Yudeng now.

"Really? I am also from Yudeng, but I went to the central district to study since elementary school."

Zheng Yue smiled and got closer, but she became even more curious about Lu Yang.

Zheng Yue was familiar with Yudeng Town. Compared to the central area, it was a rural area. How could there be any break dancing masters?

What is Xinjiang General Factory?

It's been a long time since she's been back, and Zheng Yue doesn't know much about this place, but state-owned enterprises are synonymous with old-fashionedness in her mind. It's really strange that someone can dance this latest chao dance so well.

"By the way, boss, I saw Jiang Ling a few days ago. She was in a good mood but not so good. I said you should go see her when you have time. Don't neglect Mei Ling'er too much."

Jiang Yaoan had used similar topics before, but now he took it and found one that was not suitable.

"oh."

Lu Yang had been eating in silence, but after hearing the news about Jiang Ling, he paused his chopsticks, glanced at Jiang Yaoan, and nodded.

Who is that?

Zheng Yue smiled and looked at the boy whose expression had finally changed. She had already known that Wei Zhixiu was Lu Yang's sister. Although the two were close, they were not in a male-female relationship.

As for the girl Jiang Yaoan mentioned, could it be that she is the other party’s real girlfriend?

It was a very interesting meal in which the host and guest were silent. Zheng Yue was not in a bad mood and smiled and asked the security guard to pay the bill. But when she came back, she said that she had already paid for it. Just now, only Lu Yang said that he had to go to the bathroom.

"How is this appropriate? I agreed to treat you."

Zheng Yue's mood became a little depressed again, and the rejection of this manic boy was obvious.

"I'm not used to having girls treat me."

Lu Yang left behind these words that he had no confidence to say in his previous life. He took Wei Zhixiu and got up and left first.

Zheng Yue curled her lips, and the corners of her lips curled up again for no reason, and she quickly followed.

Jiang Yao'an's home was in another direction. He said goodbye here. Then the driver drove for more than an hour and entered an area that was very unfamiliar to Zheng Yue's memory. Unexpectedly, there were so many houses built to the west of Yudeng, and it was a huge new city.

.

Lu Yang was about to turn around and leave after getting off the car, but Wei Zhixiu politely asked Zheng Yue to come and sit at home. Of course she was very happy.

Before climbing the stairs to enter this small house, Zheng Yue was initially disapproving. Although these buildings were new, the elevators were neither high-grade nor high-end.

Entering the room, the simple and beautiful decoration with a unique style hit her face. Zheng Yue's eyes were completely opened, and she realized that this was the work of Wei Zhixiu and his company.

This kid's family is so different...

Zheng Yue was getting more and more curious, but time passed quickly. She had not talked about anything while she was holding Wei Zhixiu. The man entered her bedroom and had not come out yet. The clock on the wall had already reached ten thirty, so the security guard had to say something.

Reminder, she had no choice but to say goodbye and leave.

Uninvited guests don't happen every day in life. Lu Yang and Wei Zhixiu spent three quiet days in Chongshan. Lu Jiangan and Zhang Shufen came back from the medicinal spring, and the house became lively again.

Firecrackers have been banned in Chongshan these days. In the past, Lu Yang would try his best to get some for fun, but now he has completely lost interest in these. He lives an unusually regular life like a believer, exercising, studying, and sleeping, except every night

He refused to waste every minute of the relaxing moments of being intimate with Wei Zhixiu before going to bed. This made Zhang Shufen unable to help but sigh at breakfast one day that her son was so boring now.

The 18th is New Year's Eve. According to Chongshan custom, Lu Jiangan, the eldest son, must take the whole family to Grandpa Lu Yang's house to celebrate the New Year. Zhang Shufang attaches great importance to this every year. Now that her financial conditions are relaxed, she has started planning various gifts early.

Liao Li and Wei Xingliang had already gone home to celebrate the New Year. Zhang Shufen had prepared so many gifts that she had no choice but to summon Wei Zhiwu and let him drive the Santana for a hard trip.

Arriving downstairs at his grandfather's house, Lu Yang carried gifts with his father and his fifth brother. His mood was completely different from the last 1996. At that time, he had a sullen face and felt hatred for everyone he met, but now he is peaceful and peaceful when he meets acquaintances.

Neighbors whom I didn’t know greeted each other with sweet smiles.

It’s a great New Year.
