The next performance further proved Rou Tianshui's worries.
In this competition, the Hehuan Sect performed many tricks, which attracted attention. It can be said that many tricks surpassed the dance performance itself.
They prepared drums, and the dancers stepped on particularly large drums. The drum beats matched the music, giving people a shocking feeling.
There are also fan dances and umbrella dances, each group is different.
The dancers wear bells and long silks. These operations are quite common, and the dancers in Wanhua Tower also have them.
But they also used props that had never been used before, trying to give people a novel feeling.
For example, a layer of colorful water bubbles was added during the dancer's performance, which was colorful and gave people a dreamy and sweet feeling.
You can also sprinkle gold powder from the air, or put a transparent blue gauze on the dancers to create a special atmosphere.
What's even more outrageous is that the disciples of the Hehuan Sect used some moving white paper door panels, flowers and trees to create a stage scene and make the performance more watchable.
And these methods are not illegal, because no magic is used, and previous regulations also stated that props can be used.
But the Hehuan Sect completely used props to cover up the flaws in the dancers' performance. When watching this kind of performance, are you watching the dance or the changes in the scenery?
So how can we compare the level of dancing skills?
In fact, Hehuan Sect does not entirely rely on scene layout and props.
If it is the turn of those monks with superb dancing skills to perform, the dependence on external objects will be reduced.
Let everyone's attention be on the dancer's body movements.
If the performers are good-looking men or women, the use of props will be reduced, allowing everyone to appreciate the dancer's face and figure.
Some men even wore their upper bodies naked during their performances. Many female cultivators looked at them and blushed, but they did not look away.
Tang Yue's strategies worked very well. Halfway through the night's performance, the applause received by the Hehuan Sect members was obviously much louder than that of Wanhua Tower.
Many people did not wait for the competition to end, but they had already chosen the person they wanted to support and gave a lot of flowers to the people in Wanhua Tower.
This was a situation that had never happened before, and the people of the Hehuan Sect were also very surprised.
Those who can come to participate in the competition are not old-fashioned people. Many people also rely on dance performances to earn more spiritual stones.
Now that you have mastered the skills of high-attraction dancing, you can use it to make more money in the future.
The Hehuan Sect has been performing for a long time in order to make money, and has never considered entertaining guests to be a despicable thing.
They just didn't know how to do it in the past, and Wanhualou wouldn't tell them the secret.
Now that Tang Yue has clarified this point and given a solution, the dancers of the Hehuan Sect only feel happy and do not feel humiliated.
This is much healthier than the people in Wanhualou.
Faced with such a situation, Rou Tianshui scolded: "It's really immoral. Is this kind of performance legal?"
He personally went to the city lord's private room to express his protest, feeling that the Hehuan Sect was defeated by force.
Gongyang Bo was in the city lord's box, watching the first match with him.
This was what Tang Yue suggested him to do, and she had already expected that Rou Tianshui would be dissatisfied.
Gongyang Bo retorted on the spot: "What the second poster said is wrong. If you want to discuss the level of dance skills and realm, then we should invite great experts in dance to evaluate, instead of such a public vote."
If compared to these two, Hehuan Sect would have already surpassed Wanhua Tower and would never lose to Wanhua Tower's Qi Refining and Foundation Building Techniques.
It is because Wanhualou requires public voting and the competition is entertainment, so it loses to Wanhualou every year.
Routian's face flushed, and she suddenly remembered that the reason why she chose to make it public and let the people in the city vote was because the Hehuan Sect's dance performance was too serious.
This kind of dance is very good for cultivating one's moral character, but it will definitely not be liked by secular people.
Rou Tianshui refused to give up and continued to complain: "Then you have gone too far. The man's performance is offensive to morals!"
"Why is it so immoral? It's common for monks to have their clothes damaged during fights. Why don't you think it's immoral to fight in public?
Besides, our male dancers dress up in this way to fit the dance expression and match the artistic conception of the dance.
They are here for the perfection of art and have no other intentions. What you say is tarnishing their artistic soul."
These words were taught to him by Tang Yue. In fact, he didn't know what the soul of art was, but they sounded very serious anyway.
As for the appropriate expression, you must do your best to please the female audience and impress them with such a performance.
The city lord coughed and said, "Brother Gongyang is right. As long as no magic is used and the dance is performed normally, it is not a violation."
In the past, it was Wanhualou who made the demands and made the Hehuan Sect secretly suffer losses. This was also the case with the territory bet, so it didn't matter if he helped the Hehuan Sect once.
It’s time for Wanhualou to learn a lesson.
Rou Tianshui was very angry. He saw it at this time. Gongyang Bo was uncharacteristically watching the competition with the city lord, just to trick them in Wanhua Tower at this time.
"City Lord, let me watch the show with you. It will be more lively this way."
He also wanted to stay in the city lord's box and never give Gong Yangbo the opportunity to do dark things in private.
The city lord knew what Rou Tianshui was thinking and said with a smile: "Okay, let's watch it together and we can make some comments."
At this time, a solo dancer on the stage had finished his performance and was introducing himself.
"Hello people of Wanhua City and guests from afar, I am Gong Yangxin from the Gongyang family. I believe you have all heard of me.
Not long ago, I learned dance from Master Wanhualou and Senior Sister Hua Yuerong.
Master told me that dancers should always train themselves and please others, so this competition is an opportunity for me to train myself.
I heard that Miss Tang Yue, the daughter of the city lord of Kunwu City and a disciple of Wuji Mountain, also participated in this competition.
We are both beginners, so I invite everyone to judge my and her dancing skills."
The audience heard that she came from the Gongyang family, a well-known family in the Liuzhou world. No matter how well she danced, they applauded her vigorously.
Maybe the people from the Gongyang family will appreciate who of them compliments the best and give them a chance to join the Gongyang family.
The city lord wondered: "The young lady from the Gongyang family is actually learning dancing in Wanhua Tower?"
Rou Tianshui laughed and said, "Thanks to Miss Gongyang, she has learned very well, so the master in the building suggested that she participate in this competition.
Judging from the performance just now, what Ms. Gongyang’s master said is true.”
In fact, Rou Tianshui was surprised when he heard that Gong Yangxin was going to participate in the competition. In fact, he didn't think Gong Yangxin danced very well.
But I also thought that Gongyang Xin's family was from an extraordinary family, and there were many people in the city who wanted to flatter the Gongyang family, so if she were allowed to participate in the competition, she would get a lot of votes.
Maybe Gong Yangxin can get a seat in Wanhua Tower, why not?
