The girls opened their eyes wide in surprise. They had no idea that Lin Jue's amazing palm dance would be described as so ordinary. It turned out that she was not dancing gracefully on the palms of her hands, but was just being held by her feet to control her body balance.
It's just dancing under the circumstances. For Gu Panpan, this is actually not a difficult task.
"Miss Gu, why don't you give it a try. Come on, just in this small space, see if you can move and turn?" Lin Jue stretched out his hand and drew a small circle as big as a palm on the table, only one foot could fall, and smiled at him
Gu Panpan said.
Gu Panpan felt anxious and confident that she could do it, so she shook off her long silk robe and tapped her toes, leaping gracefully into the circle, stepping on the square inch of land with her toes. The next moment, her body spun like a top for more than a dozen times.
A circle, with her arms stretched out, like a flower slowly blooming in the wind.
"Okay!" Lin Jue clapped and shouted, "Can you do more moves?"
Gu Panpan didn't answer, and jumped into the air. When he fell, he alternated his feet from his left foot to his right foot and stood in the circle. At the same time, he raised his left foot up to the top of his head. His body was tilted sideways and his arms were stretched out, standing like a flying swallow. The next moment,
Head and feet, the body rotates up and down like a windmill, with one foot as the axis, rotating like the wind. At the same time, the arms and body make various wonderful shapes, which are really beautiful and wonderful.
"Okay!" This time not only Lin Jue cheered, but the little princess also clapped her hands and shouted.
Gu Panpan stopped, his face turned red, and his chest rose slightly. He jumped off the table and landed on the ground. He bowed and said, "Funny."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "What a wonderful skill. It seems that you can also dance on the palms of your hands."
Gu Panpan said hurriedly: "This is different. The palm of your hand is not as solid as the tabletop. The two are completely different."
Lin Jue shook his head and said: "You are wrong. Although the palm is more difficult than the table, it is not unimaginably difficult. If the person below is strong and has strong arms, and the dancer is light, if he learns some soft kung fu
, as long as the two of them cooperate properly, palm dancing is not difficult. Liu Yi is said to have danced while standing on the hands of guests. I will assume that this is true. But this matter is really worthy of scrutiny. First of all, she is really like you
Is it like this, moving around in a small space like a flying swallow? Or is she just standing on the guest's hand and doing a few simple movements? Secondly, who is this guest? Is the person who spends a lot of money really a guest?
Ordinary people may not be able to bear even twenty or thirty kilograms of weight on their palms. No matter how light Liu Yiyi is, she must weigh at least several dozen kilograms. Can an ordinary guest really bear it? Or should I say that?
This guest is not a guest at all, but an invited sitter? For outsiders to see? Or maybe this Liu Yiyi actually has some self-restraint skills. In short, no matter what the situation is, it is definitely not what we imagined.
It's so miraculous. It's very possible that it's just a deception."
"..."
"..."
The girls were once again speechless. This time, what Lin Jue said was no longer unreasonable. Sometimes, for the sake of gimmicks and attracting attention, some actions are indeed taken, just to gain fame. In fact, these things are not enough.
Strange, especially in an industry like the flower world where reputation can determine everything.
"Maybe you still don't believe it. I just ask you, if Liu Yiyi really had the skill of palm dancing, she would have shown it long ago and become famous all over the world. Why have I never heard of her fame? What do you mean?
She is unwilling to perform more even if the guests spend a lot of money, fearing that only a ghost will believe it. If she really has such ability, she will take the initiative to perform even if she doesn't give money. Why? One dance can shock the world, why do you still hide your clumsiness? This
But it absolutely doesn’t make sense.” Lin Jue smiled.
"Yes, isn't that true?" Gu Panpan shouted loudly. Lin Jue's words truly and completely explained her doubts. "Every time I learn a new dance, I can't wait to perform it for my benefactor.
It makes people happy. If I could dance on the palms of my hands, how could I hide my clumsiness and not dance? I would definitely make a big name for myself through this. There is a scam, and there is indeed a scam here."
The little princess Chu Xiangxiang and others also believed that Lin Jue's explanation was convincing. Regardless of whether his remarks about palm dancing were correct or not, judging from the actions of the top players in the flower world, he did not have any special skills.
Don't show it to others. This is a flower world entertainment venue, where people are entertained with sex and art, and fame is what they seek. So is Liu Yiyi still a high-level person who doesn't care about fame, wealth and fame? Then she doesn't need to come to participate.
This is the Oiran Competition.
"So, how to explain the matter about Zheng Nuanyu? What about Qin Xiaoxiao from Yunshui Pavilion in Yangzhou and Feng Susu from Mingfeng Yuan? Are these all fake?" the girl Qianqian suddenly asked.
This question immediately calmed down the high-spirited emotions of the girls, and then they remembered that besides Liu Yiyi, there were three other strong opponents, and their skills were incredible and difficult to match.
Lin Jue laughed and looked at Qianqian's pretty face and said: "Miss Qianqian is quite impatient. I was about to talk about the so-called 'stunt skills' of those three. That Zheng Nuan from Jiangning Mansion
The jade thing is actually very funny in my opinion. There is nothing to boast about being proficient in chess, calligraphy and painting. Which of the girls is not proficient in chess, calligraphy and painting? As for the rumored and Dazhou No. 1
There is no way to verify the game played by the national player Zhao Ziyue. Maybe it is true, or maybe he just borrowed Zhao Ziyue's name to become famous. I think Zhao Ziyue must be a romantic and handsome person. How can he use his full strength when playing against a beautiful lady?
?Then Zheng Nuanyu really has the ability to compete with the best player in the world, how could he be found out in the review afterwards? And how could the best player in the world reveal the flaw that caused the dragon to be slaughtered?
Come on? If Zhao Ziyue is only of this level, how can he deserve to be named the number one national player in the Great Zhou Dynasty? If this game really happened, it would be nothing more than a game."
The girls all laughed bitterly. From Lin Jue's point of view, he obviously did not believe the authenticity of the game, but regarded it as a child's play between Zhao Ziyue and Zheng Nuanyu.
The little princess said: "But what if all of this is true? After all, we can't prove that it is false."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Even if it is true, so what? For the Oiran Competition, chess skills are useless. Is it possible that tomorrow night's Oiran Competition will have several chess games on the spot? Have you ever seen the Oiran Competition?
Are you sitting on the stage playing chess? All the people in the audience watched eagerly as the people on the stage played chess for several hours? I'm afraid they've already scolded you."
The girls laughed loudly, but this sentence hit the point. Although chess skills are an extremely important skill, if the number one in the brothel does not possess this skill, it cannot be called the number one. But it is indeed useless in the Oiran Competition.
The Oiran competition is to try its best to display sexual skills to entertain everyone. Therefore, singing, dancing, poetry and songs are the mainstream, and there are alternative performances such as calligraphy and painting, which are also intuitive and visible skills. As for the way of Go, that is the fundamental
impossible.
Lin Jue continued with a smile: "That Zheng Nuanyu is extremely proficient in chess, calligraphy and painting, and may be a strong opponent. But he is by no means an invincible person. Maybe you are not as good as chess, calligraphy and painting, but your singing and dancing skills can beat her. This is called
Plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums are all good at winning. Who knows who can win? As for Qin Xiaoxiao from Yangzhou Yunshui Pavilion, it is obviously an exaggeration to say that her voice can make the tea cup break.
Can you hear it? Aren't everyone deafened? Maybe she is unique in her singing skills, but she is definitely not as exaggerated as the rumors. Some people want to try their best to create an invincible atmosphere, but they don't know that bragging is also necessary.
Playing it properly or playing it too mysteriously will be counterproductive. I have listened to Miss Chu's singing skills with my own ears. I think Miss Chu Xiangxiang's singing skills will never be inferior to anyone. And even if her singing skills are better,
The shortcomings can be made up for in the music and lyrics. If a singer does not have good music and lyrics, then he will have a good voice in vain. Only when the song, art, music and lyrics complement each other and help each other can it be called perfection. Otherwise, everyone will
What’s the point of paying huge sums of money to hire famous musicians to write lyrics and compose music?”
Chu Xiangxiangzhen connected the dots, and what Lin Jue said is indeed true. Everyone who has studied the art of singing knows this truth. It is impossible to have a good voice without good music and words to match it, no matter how good it is
The voice is also in vain. At most, it can only pick up people's wisdom and sing some songs that others have sung. But if you do that, you will never become a famous person. Instead, you will be criticized and ridiculed.
"In comparison, the fact that Feng Susu is proficient in musical instruments is the most credible among these people. I believe that he is good at pipa, yao, piano, sheng, flute and flute. I also believe that he is good at bouncing pipa and other things.
Believe it or not, after all, hard work and practice make perfect. So, I believe in the strength of this girl Feng Susu." Lin Jue pondered and continued.
"Whatever it is, I can do it," Qianqian said suddenly.
Gu Panpan frowned and said, "Qianqian, don't talk nonsense. Listen to Mr. Lin."
"I'm not lying, I really know how to do it. If you don't believe me, I'll play it for you." Qianqian shouted with a red face.
Gu Panpan was still waiting for scolding, but Lin Jue smiled and said: "Miss Qianqian, what do you know?"
"I can play all the musical instruments just like Feng Susu. If you don't believe me, Mr. Lin, just point out any instrument and I'll play it for you." Qianqian said hurriedly.
"Oh? Seriously?" Lin Jue also became interested. He turned around and looked around, but did not see any musical instruments in the small hall.
Chu Xiangxiang turned his head and called out in a sweet voice: "Let me bring some musical instruments."
After a while, several maids came in holding musical instruments, and a table was set up with Yaoqin, pipa, flute, and shengxiao.
Lin Jue pointed at the Yaoqin and said, "Let's play a piece of music first."
Qianqian nodded in agreement, stepped forward, picked up the Yao Qin, walked to the small table on one side, placed the Yao Qin on the small table, knelt down and sat on the ground, fiddled with the strings a few times to adjust the tune, and then gave a slight gesture with her bare hands like orchid.
With a flick, the sound of the piano suddenly flowed out like running water. But seeing her nimble skills, she was extremely skilled in hooking, twisting and lifting. The foreign sound under her hand was clear and clear to the ears, the music was pure and without any noise.
After a short section of piano music, Qianqian stood up, straightened her clothes and gathered her train, and bowed. Lin Jue touched his palms and praised: "What a wonderful song "Empty Mountain", it really feels like you are in an empty valley and a secluded mountain."
Chu Xiangxiang asked in surprise: "When did you learn the piano? How could I not know?"
Qianqian smiled and said: "I learned it from the musicians in the building. I didn't dare to tell Sister Xiangxiang because I was afraid that Sister Xiangxiang would say I bit off more than I could chew. After all, I haven't learned even 10% of Sister Xiangxiang's singing skills."
Lin Jue pointed to a pipa on the table and said: "Being able to play the piano is nothing. The pipa is the most difficult. Can you play it?"
Qianqian came forward, picked up the pipa, held it in her arms, and sat on the spring stool. The pipa half-covered her slightly immature cheeks, and she started to play it with her bare hands. After a few ding-dong sounds, the sound of the pipa began to become more complicated.
It changes like the jingling of spring water that merges into a stream, rushes down over mountains and rocks, suddenly turns into a waterfall, roars and splashes, and then returns to the vast river and flows eastward. In this short song, it is the most famous great musician in the world, Tang Dynasty.
The famous song "Flowing Water" composed by Yu. This song is Tang Yu's famous work. It is a short song that takes less than a cup of tea, but it interprets several forms of water flow, from gurgling springs to rushing rivers. The techniques used in it are more sophisticated.
It is completely different, and the range of sounds involved is also extremely wide. What is difficult is that this piece is a qin piece, and it is not easy to play it on the Yaoqin, let alone play it on the pipa, and it can be expressed so exquisitely, which is even more shocking.
People are amazed.
After the song ended, everyone in the audience looked surprised. If the song "Empty Valley" played by Yao Qin before can only be regarded as skillfully completed and cannot be called amazing, then this song "Flowing Water" can be regarded as
It really shocked everyone. Even Gu Panpan, who originally looked disdainful, had a look of surprise in his eyes.
"Good." Lin Jue clapped his hands and praised, and several women also clapped and shouted "good."
"Okay, I said your singing and dancing skills have not improved much. It turns out that you have spent all your time on this." Gu Panpan exclaimed coquettishly.
"Sister Panpan, don't be upset. For some reason, I am very interested in these musical instruments, but my singing and dancing skills have not improved. I have lost the face of my two sisters." Qianqian said with a red face.
Chu Xiangxiang sighed: "Hey, if I had known this, why would I force you to learn some singing and dancing skills? If you are not interested, how can you improve? You are interested in musical instruments, so you can naturally learn them well. It seems that you should become more professional
It’s the fine tunes of musical instruments.”
Lin Jue said with a smile: "That's true. Only through interest can you make great progress. When I watched the song Qianqian Girl, if Tang Yu were here, he would be dumbfounded."
Qianqian blushed and said: "Young Master is so flattering that I don't dare to be a servant."
Lin Jue said: "So, do you know how to play the pipa or something like that?"
Qianqian was stunned and said: "I haven't tried it, but... I can give it a try."
After saying that, Qianqian stood up, placed the pipa on the back of her shoulder, turned one hand to support the bottom of the pipa, and turned the other hand behind her neck to hold the upper part of the pipa. The posture was weird but had a strange beauty.
"Ding ding dong dong!" The pipa rang a few times in a disorderly manner, and everyone frowned. It was more like playing the pipa here or playing cotton.
Suddenly, the sound of the pipa became regular, and Qianqian seemed to have figured out the trick. At first, the tones seemed bumpy and even had wrong sounds, but soon it became smooth and smooth without any hindrance. Soon after, the sound of the pipa
There was already a sound of turning over and over, and the turning hands were as agile as snakes, without any discomfort at all.
"Genius, he really is a genius. He can actually do it, and he seems to have just understood it. It's really amazing." Lin Jue laughed loudly.
Qianqian's face turned red with excitement. This was indeed something she had just tried to understand. She just tried it because it was fun, and she didn't expect to get used to it very quickly. As long as she concentrated on her hands, it didn't feel too difficult.
"Come on, where's the flute? Where's the shengxiao? Erhu, xun, and se, you can play a piece." Lin Jue said excitedly.
Qianqian demonstrated a short section one by one, and no one had any doubts. Qianqian originally learned singing and dancing skills from Gu Panpan and Chu Xiangxiang. The original intention was that the two big names would teach and train her, so that Qianqian could take over for the second floor in the future. However,
This Qianqian's dancing and singing skills have not made much progress, which makes people doubt her qualifications. But now it is understood that she is more interested in the music of musical instruments. It seems that most of her time is not spent on singing and dancing exercises, but on
I have learned these musical instruments. This is really in line with the saying: if you plant flowers with intention, they will not bloom, but if you do not intend to plant willows, they will form shade.
Lin Jue was also very happy. Originally, his evaluation of the women in Jiangning Prefecture and Yangzhou Prefecture just had one purpose, which was to prevent Chu Xiangxiang, Gu Panpan and others from losing confidence. In fact, many of the words he said were also attributed to Lin.
What Jue had guessed and really thought about might not be what Lin Jue said. However, what he didn't expect was that Lin Jue not only strengthened everyone's confidence, but also received an unexpected surprise. This girl Qianqian actually showed up and proved her opponent with her actions.
Her skills were not terrible, which made Lin Jue's words even more convincing. Moreover, Qianqian's talent also surprised Lin Jue. Regarding the Oiran Competition tomorrow night, Lin Jue had new ideas.
"Girls, I think there is no need to say anything. Qianqian's performance just now is enough to prove that the opponent is not scary. On the contrary, if they know the abilities of the three of them, they should be afraid of them. What's more, not only do you have your own
You have the ability, and I will arrange tomorrow's match for you. Who will win tomorrow night's battle is still unknown, so don't pay attention to those rumors outside. However, time is very tight now, and I have prepared a performance for you here.
Script. From now on, I want you to gather all the musicians and dancers to rehearse and train immediately. I regret to announce that from now until the opening of the competition tomorrow, I'm afraid you won't have time to rest."
Lin Jue took out a thick stack of paper full of words from his arms and raised it. It was one of the results of his staying up all night late last night. It was a game that Lin Jue had prepared for the Oiran Competition.
Now is the time for everyone to start rehearsing the script.
…
In the afternoon, Lin Jue had time to come out of Wanhua Tower and take the little princess to the Jiangnan Grand Theater. Due to the Oiran Competition, the Jiangnan Grand Theater will suspend performances for three days from now on, because all the painters and technicians in all theaters have been requisitioned. In order to
To create the stage effect of the Oiran Competition, these people must all be mobilized and prepared.
In the huge theater, the lights are like daylight. All the tables and chairs have been moved aside to create a huge open space. Dozens of painters are divided into groups and are painting on more than a dozen gauze screens. On the wall in front, ten
There are more than one palace guard guarding a long scroll. The painters are copying the scene on the screen, but they are not allowed to get too close, let alone touch the painting. Such a situation shows how precious this painting is.
.
After the little princess and Lin Jue arrived, everyone stopped what they were doing and came forward to salute. The little princess waved her hand for them to continue working. Without any more courtesy, everyone returned to the work at hand.
Hearing the arrival of Lin Jue and the princess, Xie Danhong and Xie Yingying also came down from the second floor. It was a rare day off, and Xie Yingying didn't wake up until noon. At this moment, Bo Shifendai was wearing a long dark dress, with her temples tied loosely, looking like a lazy home.
