"No need." From Ye Peilan's reply to Fu Yang, it was difficult to tell that she was in a state of physical exhaustion.
But Fu Yang, who has been her partner for many years, can tell.
She was just holding on.
"I'm serious, let's..."
"Fu Yang, let me ask you," Ye Peilan interrupted, "Did I perform well in rehearsals these days? Are there any movements that I didn't do well enough?"
"...Although you made no mistakes, you obviously worked very hard..."
"It doesn't matter whether it's hard work or not!" Ye Peilan was indeed very insistent on what he believed in, "Just calm down and think about it, do we have any other escape route? Originally, we had a need to participate in the competition, so we signed up for the school.
The qualifying competition is a voluntary participation. Once selected, you must obey all arrangements of the school."
"The school has replaced one round of candidates, and now it is sending another group to take over. The loss of time and training costs can no longer be compensated. We are not qualified to give up unless necessary, and we can only do our best to do our best.
My weight is now the only trouble for our two-person team. Teacher Wu didn't say it too harshly, but he did mean it. If I don't lose weight quickly, then we must shoulder the responsibility of the school together.
I take all responsibility for the loss in this match.”
What Ye Peilan said sounds serious, but it is also true. Representing the school in the competition carries the school's honor, not to mention that what they are about to participate in is not an ordinary student activity on campus, but the Youth Cup, a national event in the dance industry.
"...I know." Fu Yang endured the "But I feel sorry for you" that was about to blurt out.
He heard what she said so eloquently, but he was really at a loss as to how he could persuade her to pay attention to his health for the time being.
And if he just poured out all the words about feeling sorry for her, he would undoubtedly break the window paper between the two of them. Ye Peilan would not agree to date him, he knew it.
The conversation ended abruptly here. Teacher Wu, who came to check and accept the results of the contact, broke the awkwardness in the dance studio and said, "Children, let me see how you have been practicing recently. Let's go through your repertoire."
"Okay." Ye Peilan and Fu Yang said in unison.
They had danced this play over and over, and they had long been familiar with it. Teacher Wu came to check it out with the confidence that they would be exempted from the test. As they watched, a proud smile appeared on his lips.
These two students have been under her personal guidance since they were selected to prepare for the competition. Now that they have trained well, Ye Peilan's body looks much lighter than a few days ago, and she is naturally very happy.
At the end of the song, Teacher Wu praised them and led them to practice a few more times, repeatedly emphasizing some points that needed special attention in the choreography, and then left with peace of mind.
As for the fact that Ye Peilan had been fasting in secret at night, because Ye Peilan always kept his spirits up during rehearsals, it was just kept secret.
...
"Tsk," Gu Qing watched Zhong Buqun and Lu Panpan's performances and frowned for a long time before finally speaking, "I thought you had found that feeling a few days ago, why do you think something is wrong when you watch it again today?"
Oh...Oh, it's all my fault, Teacher Li and I have been busy these days, and we just came to check your practice progress today."
Hearing Gu Qing's comments, Zhong Buqun and Lu Panpan realized that there was a big problem in the direction of their efforts these days.
"Teacher Gu, how should we understand the correct feeling and the 'right way'? Can you explain it to us in detail?" Zhong Buqun asked.
"This is the most difficult part for me to guide you. If you explain things like emotions purely through words, or directly give you concrete guidance and directly specify what expressions you should make... is that right?
It will have good results.”
"Of course I can say that this is the emotion of a pair of young people who oppose feudal ethics and fall in love. But how can such emotions be expressed naturally and realistically? In fact, I told you this a long time ago, but you
I couldn't make that feeling. No matter how gorgeous and touching the description of emotion in language is, it will pale in comparison to the emotion itself. Now, if I directly put you in a dance drama based on your image and facial features,
If every expression and even micro-expression is stipulated, firstly, it will be much more difficult for you to remember, and secondly, your performance will appear rigid when you actually go on stage."
"Therefore, if you want to practice this part well, you must feel it yourself. I can't explain this problem thoroughly with you in just a few sentences. Well, I have enough time today, and I will accompany you through it.
Practice it over and over again. I have no other requirements, I just ask you to get back the feeling you had before. Devot yourself wholeheartedly to the play, and face and feel the heart of the characters."
To face and feel the character’s heart.
According to this, the reason why they danced well a few days ago was because the two of them faced something during the performance; and the reason why they did not practice well these days is because they escaped from things they could have done.
