When thinking about the follow-up to SHE's first album, Xiao Qian went through a lot of picking and chose the song "Dreae true" and the famous song "Don't Want to Grow Up" by SHE in her previous life.
With his current ability, he can barely spell words, search for sentences, and write a lyrical song, but he doesn't yet have that ability for dance music that is suitable for a group.
Without the advantage of being reborn, he would probably only be considered a student in a junior music class now, and would not be qualified to produce songs for others.
Even if you are traveling through the masses, you still have to follow the basic laws.
The Space and Time Administration did not give him any system or plug-ins, everything relied on his brain and opportunity.
He is already more powerful than most ordinary people, but not to the level of a monster. Although in the eyes of others, he is already quite a monster.
But only he knew best that what he did was actually a bit embarrassing to his fellow travellers.
"Dreae true" is a classic song by South Korea's first-generation female idol group SES. Its soft style and handsome choreography made the song a huge hit and became an eternal classic.
The SHE he created in this life was also a trio, and they were also good at dancing, so he thought of appropriating it.
A master of sinicization who transcends time and space is not a master of sinicization.
However, he, a master of sinicization, is in disgrace because his sinicization is not complete. He only made out the music, but the lyrics have not yet been fully sinicized.
SHE Na Sanguang heard the melody but not the lyrics, so he was not very satisfied.
The song "Don't Want to Grow Up" that happened to be played later had all the content, so the three of them decided on the spot and chose this famous song that also belonged to SHE in their previous life.
Xiao Qian shook her head and put away "Dreae true" helplessly, waiting to find a suitable singer in the future.
However, SHE chose "Don't Want to Grow Up", which was not without problems.
This song had no dance in the previous life, and SHE's position in that time and space was not a dance group, but a singer group.
But today's SHE is a pure idol group. They can't perform on stage without dancing.
In terms of dance, Xiao Qian had nothing to learn from, so he had to ask Irelia and Xi Mengjuan to choreograph.
Five days later, he came to the practice room. Irelia and Xi Mengjuan were still clueless and at a loss.
Xiao Qian looked around and asked, "Is Qu Qi gone?"
Xi Mengjuan knows best.
"Sister Qu finished her song and was anxious to go to Xiangnan Station to promote it, so she left. She asked me to tell you that she accepted the offer. She will thank you very much later."
Xiao Qian didn't say anything. He knew that Qu Qi was a person who put loyalty first. If she said she would thank him, she would do it. It would be unnecessary to think too much.
He is concerned about other things.
"That Wang Wen is gone too?"
Xiao Qian naturally knew that Wang Wen had come to see him several times. However, he had to avoid seeing her when it came to carrying out the plan to boil the eagle.
Xi Mengjuan told the truth.
"Wang Wen left earlier, two days earlier than Sister Qu."
This is Wang Wen, the maverick Wang Wen.
Although she took a fancy to Xiao Qian's talent and wanted to use it for herself, Xiao Qian deliberately avoided it and she didn't pester him, but walked away handsomely.
This is a fierce and fierce horse, unruly and unruly. If you want to control such an artist, you have to continue to endure it.
"How's your choreography going?"
Irelia and Xi Mengjuan both sighed.
"We tried several times, but the results were not good."
"Perform it and let me see."
The difficulty of choreographing is no worse than arranging music. It can even be said to be more difficult. After all, dance must conform to the style and rhythm of the song, which naturally limits the framework.
Similarly, a well-choreographed dance can also promote the song.
For example, Girls' Generation's dog-leg dance, T-ara's retro dance, BEG's arrogant dance, etc., all promoted their promotion and became even more famous than the songs themselves.
It can be seen that both Irelia and Xi Mengjuan have certain ideas about choreography, and they have worked on it separately.
Xi Mengjuan ran over and turned on the player. The first thing displayed was Irelia.
Xiao Qian watched carefully, not missing any detail. Until Irelia finished dancing all the dance moves he expected, he said nothing and looked at Xi Mengjuan again.
Xi Mengjuan danced her own choreography without saying anything.
After reading both of their works, Xiao Qian finally understood why they were dissatisfied.
He would not be satisfied with such a work.
After calling the two of them over, the three of them sat on the floor together, and Xiao Qian expressed her opinion.
"Irelia, your concept is still based on pop. But the characteristic of this kind of dance is that it is strong and clear, so there will be extremely obvious breakpoints in the breakdown of movements. But you can also hear the melody of the song. In fact, the rhythm
It’s one wave after another, it’s a smooth and fast type, and it really doesn’t go with popping.”
Irelia held her chin and said nothing.
The problem Xiao Qian mentioned was actually something she knew. The difficulty was how to modify it.
Xiao Qian talked about Xi Mengjuan's problem again.
"Your dance has absorbed the Korean disco style of the 1980s. This is a good idea. After all, the dance movements are relatively brisk and are very suitable for stepping on the points. Your problem is that the intensity of the movements you choose is too high. Don't forget
, SHE not only has to dance, they also have to sing on stage. You can't ask them to sing the song perfectly when they get up after just finishing lowering their waist to the floor. Those who can do this,
There are only gods."
Xi Mengjuan blushed and felt extremely embarrassed.
Unknowingly, she pushed a little too hard in this choreography.
Speaking of which, this choreography is her first independent work after returning to Starlight Entertainment.
Although she was responsible for the choreography of Qu Qi's "A Chic Walk", the creative ideas of the movements came from Xiao Qian, and it was Yang Yue who provided reference. She just extracted the elements.
Although she could not debut as a singer, she became the company's choreographer. Xi Mengjuan also wanted to prove her ability.
But the consequence of using too much force is that too much is not enough.
After summarizing the two people's problems, Xiao Qian put forward his own request.
"Although the melody of this song is strong, the rhythm is actually relatively brisk. So I suggest that in terms of dance movements, you can start from the perspective of lightness and smoothness. If you don't want to affect the singer's performance, I think you can start from the step point.
.”
As he spoke, he stood up, humming a song, and began to twist his feet at the same time.
He stepped on the beat of the lyrics with his left foot, raised and lowered it back and forth, and at the same time twisted the ankle of his right foot, driving his body to move gently to the left.
The range of movement of the body is very small, but because the steps under the feet are clear, the whole movement is quite charming, and it matches the rhythm of the song very well.
Irelia and Xi Mengjuan clapped their hands together and exclaimed.
"Ah, it's the sliding step in shuffle dancing."
Shuffle dance appeared in 1985 and is also widely popular abroad. However, it did not become widely known in China until after the millennium.
In fact, Chinese people have experienced shuffle dance very early. For example, Michael Jackson's moonwalk actually evolved from shuffle dance.
It’s just that there is no systematic theory and promotion of modern pop dance in China, so the general public cannot distinguish its connotation at all.
But for Irelia and Xi Mengjuan, one is from the United States and the other has received systematic professional pop dance instruction in South Korea. For them, this is child's play.
Xiao Qian certainly couldn't compare with them in the dance profession. But he was the creator of songs, and his grasp of melody and rhythm was better than theirs.
Over the years, I have learned a lot of miscellaneous knowledge about various aspects of pop music, and I have also dabbled in dance. At the same time, because I am an amateur, I am not as easy to form inertial thinking and limit creativity as Irelia and Xi Mengjuan.
His personal experiment suddenly opened a new door for the two of them, and inspiration came to them like a fountain.
Irelia thought of something further.
"On the basis of side sliding, you can add pedaling movements in B-boying, just like pedaling when playing the piano, to show the audience the effect of controlling the rhythm."
She only performed back and forth twice, and Xiao Qian and Xi Mengjuan were amazed.
Xi Mengjuan was also inspired and directly thought of the choreography for the climax.
"This part can be jumped like this, like skipping rope."
"I don't want to..." She put her hands on both sides of her body, making a rope swing. At the same time, her body jumped to the left.
"I don't want to..." Her hands still made the same movement, but her body jumped back from the left side.
"I don't want to grow up..." Her body returned to its original position.
"I will lose him when I grow up..." Her arms suddenly opened up, drawing semicircles on both sides of her body, and finally fell from the top of her head, gathered to her chest, and then pushed open like a door.
The entire action link is completed in one go, without any redundancy, and it completely matches the rhythm. The final action can even help the singer to burst out the high notes.
"This is it, this is the feeling you want."
Xiao Qian gave Xi Mengjuan a thumbs up, and was extremely satisfied with this disciple's growth.
Xi Mengjuan and Irelia hugged each other and their eyes filled with tears after they solved the problem.
"Boss, how about this dance be called rope skipping dance?"
Of course Xiao Qian has no objection.
"Congratulations to you, you have created a dance that can become popular. Seize the time and perfect the dance quickly."
