What makes Xiao Qian stronger than most Chinese people of this era is that he has no inferiority complex when facing foreigners.
Chinese people in this era, because of their backward economy, always imagine foreign countries as beautiful. When they see foreigners, they can't help but become shorter.
But in his previous life, he experienced a period when China was prospering and the country's fortunes were soaring. Not to mention that he had nothing to spare, at least he must have been normal towards foreigners.
Seeing that the three people across from him were respectful, he was not polite.
"Introduce yourselves. I need to know your abilities before I can decide whether you will stay. People who are incompetent and careless will never get a penny from here."
The black man with dreadlocks and a nose ring yelled a little.
"That's not what I said when I came here."
Xiao Qian waved her finger at him.
"You can make as much money as you want. If you don't have the ability, you deserve to starve to death. You don't have enough to eat in the United States, and you don't have the qualifications to be picky here. Think carefully, you only have one chance."
The three people opposite stopped talking and became nervous at the same time.
Although the United States is the most developed place for modern pop music, this time Weng Zhian went to the United States to hire people, but Xiao Qian did not let him find those famous people.
A person like that has already become famous and rich. No matter how high the price offered by Starlight Entertainment, they can't handle it.
This is also a misunderstanding made by many entertainment companies in the previous life. They were too superstitious about authority and fame. But in fact, such cooperation often has very mediocre results.
It's like the songs SM invites European and American producers to produce for its singers. What are they?
The people Xiao Qian asked Weng Zhian to find were all well-known in underground dance halls but poor.
Such people are everywhere in the United States, and there are a lot of them.
But these people will definitely not be content with poverty and want to make a lot of money.
It's a pity that in the United States, they didn't have the opportunity. So when Starlight Entertainment offered a good price, they happily agreed.
The strength of these people may not be comparable to those of famous people, but they are more than enough to teach the trainees of Starlight Entertainment who have just started.
After all, these trainees don't even know what break dancing, mechanical dancing, locking, and popping are.
Xiao Qian pointed to the nose ring and said, "You go first."
Nose Ring rubbed his nose, his voice was a little sticky.
"My name is Jenkins Tang, and I'm from the Bronx, New York."
Xiao Qian thought for a while and said: "What you are good at is b-boying, right?"
Jenkins was stunned.
"Boss, how do you know?"
Xiao Qian laughed and asked, "Have you ever participated in gangs and armed fighting?"
Jenkins was much more respectful than before and said hurriedly: "No, no. My mother is a devout Catholic and she does not allow me to be a gangster."
Xiao Qian gave him a thumbs up.
"If you have a good mother, you will definitely have a bright future."
The Bronx, New York, is the birthplace of b-boying dance.
Local black teenagers, under the influence of black singer James Brown, created a dance that simulated gang fighting - the battle step.
Based on the combat step, b-boying was developed with the swing step, floor step, and freezing stance as the main body.
In this period when hip-hop is still developing, since Jenkins is from the Bronx, it is obvious that what he is good at must be b-boying.
"And you?"
Xiao Qian asked another black man.
This guy has a bagpipe tattooed on his arm, and he even looks a little elegant.
Sure enough, his tone of voice was also very gentle.
"Hello boss, my name is Thomas Funk, I'm from Auckland."
Xiao Qian nodded, genuinely happy.
"Then you must be good at locking?"
There are two birthplaces of hip-hop in the United States, one is the Bronx in New York, and the other is Oakland.
And the hip-hop styles in the two places are completely different.
Auckland's hip-hop comes from local black street performances, which are based on comedy or pantomime acrobatics and novel moves.
Later, the Boogaloo dance was developed based on spiritual music.
This is a dance that can be choreographed by multiple people or performed alone. However, it does not form a certain dance form and each performer can express freely.
In the 1970s, funk appeared in California, and combined with boogaloo, two new dances were born.
One is locking.
It is a movement in street dance where the wrists and arms move rapidly in reverse and then suddenly stop, as if the body is suddenly locked.
The other is popping, which is more commonly known to the public.
Most of the dances of many idol groups in later generations are based on pop.
Thomas also didn't expect that Xiao Qian was so knowledgeable about the history of American hip-hop that he was completely impressed.
He pointed at the white girl with tattoos and said: "Yes, what I am good at is locking. What Irelia is good at is popping."
"Oh, really? That's great. I'm looking forward to your performance. Work hard. Maybe in the end you will find that you gain more than just money."
Xiao Qian was really happy when I heard that girl could pop.
In the future, when he teaches trainees, he will mainly focus on pop. However, the current trainees of Starlight Entertainment are all girls. He is really worried about the integrity of these people who come from an open country and have experience in underground dance troupes.
After all, when practicing dancing, it is easy to generate electricity through friction.
If the girls' teacher is also a woman, then he will be relieved.
If this could make lilies bloom, he would admit it.
Xiao Qian just checked and personally inspected the character of the three dance teachers. As for their strength, he did not verify it.
For teaching trainees with zero basic knowledge, these three people are enough.
He is the boss, so he cannot take responsibility for everything by himself.
Especially Xu Jiayi found him.
"Director, help."
Xiao Qian was startled.
"What's wrong? Is anyone bothering Wen Yi again?"
There is no way, this girl Wenyi is like the moon in the sky, alone and holy, the stars are dim. No matter where she goes, she will attract attention and become the focus.
Xiao Qian thought that Wen Yi was in trouble, but that was not what Xu Jiayi asked for help.
"The thing is like this. Wen Yi is going to participate in a cultural gala for disabled children held next month, but after the organizer got the news, they strongly asked Wen Yi to sing two songs. For this, they even
I doubled the acting fee."
Xiao Qian was puzzled.
"Even if it is improved twice, there is nothing we can do if Wen Yi only sings this song."
Xu Jiayi said depressedly: "Yes, that's what I said too. But the other party didn't agree at all and asked Wenyi to sing two songs."
Xiao Qian was angry.
"How can this be done in a hurry? Who is the organizer? I will argue with them."
Seeing that the boss came forward, Xu Jiayi burst into tears with excitement.
It's great to be in a company like this. The boss is willing to take responsibility and the people below are much more relaxed.
"It's the Ministry of Culture. They are very unreasonable and won't listen to any explanation."
Xiao Qian slapped the table and glared at Xu Jiayi.
"Xiao Xu, what's the matter with you? This party calls on everyone to care for children with disabilities. It is a sacred stage to dedicate love and sincerity. The organizer asked Wenyi to sing two songs, which is an affirmation of her. This is rare
How can you deny the honor of three and four?"
Xu Jiayi couldn't take a breath and looked at Xiao Qian faintly, her mind kept tangled.
The boss is shameless and he is a child, what should he do?
Waiting online, quite urgent.
Fortunately, this boss is shameless, but at least he looks like an angel.
"You go back first and urge Wen Yi to practice well. Leave the song to me."
Since it was Xiao Qian who took action, Xu Jiayi immediately seemed to have had a heavy burden lifted off her and ran faster than a rabbit, fearing that Xiao Qian would regret it.
"Hey, there's no such thing as worry-free."
Nagging is nagging, but his subordinates don't stop.
This time it was Xu Jiayi who came to see him. If it had been Wen Yi, it would have been him who had to endure the nagging.
Take the music score, open it, and write a symbol on it.
In my previous life, I was completely confused when I looked at these things. But now these symbols have become more friendly than words, and I can pick them up easily and express them freely.
The notes are written, the melody is complete, and the next step is the lyrics.
every time
They are all wandering and staying strong in loneliness
every time
Even if I'm hurt, I won't shed tears
I know
I have always had a pair of invisible wings
Take me flying through despair...
If you give this song to children, it will definitely give them the courage to face life.
