All the teams are panicking!
Some people look extremely grim;
Some people are shivering all over;
Some people are nervously pacing back and forth;
Just the name Xian Yu alone exerts infinite pressure on all parties; this person has almost never lost a competition!
Not everyone is terrified of Fish.
Maestro Lian Bicheng, ranked seventh on Blue Star, upon hearing the news, not only showed no panic but even smirked:
Lian Bicheng is the top Maestro of Chu Continent, ranked seventh on the Blue Star music chart, just one position above Xian Yu.
Lian Bicheng’s target is Abigail, ranked eighth on the music chart.
However, since Xian Yu had defeated Abigail, even though his ranking was a bit lower, Lian Bicheng was equally interested.
On the Zhong Continent team side.
Upon hearing the news, Abigail suddenly burst into hearty laughter:
"Looks show wasn’t in vain."
Abigail is someone with a strong desire to win.
Having lost to Xian Yu at the Blue Songlympics, Abigail acknowledged it but wasn’t entirely convinced.
How could someone ranked sixth on the music chart truly concede to someone ranked eighth?
Abigail eagerly anticipated another encounter with Xian Yu!
Lin Yuan wasn’t aware of everyone’s thoughts.
Even if he knew, he wouldn’t care. He wasn’t here to compete in composing; after greeting the Qin Continent team, he swiftly gathered the team responsible for designing the Qin Continent stage.
"Hello, Teacher Admirable Fish!"
The head of the Qin Continent team’s stage design was named Frank. As he shook hands with Lin Yuan, his face was full of respect.
Whether or not Xian Yu was a Maestro wasn’t the main point.
Frank respected Xian Yu mainly because his standing in the dance world was higher than his own.
Lin Yuan said, "Please bring over the dancers and choreographer."
Frank said, "I am the choreography head, currently ranked thirty-seventh on the dance chart. The dancer is Teacher Yun Tingtong, who is ranked thirty-ninth on the dance chart, and she has already arrived."
A gracefully slender woman was approaching from afar, visibly excited to see Lin Yuan:
"Teacher Admirable Fish, I’m Yun Tingtong. I really love the dance ’Thousand-Armed Guanyin’ you designed for our Qin Continent’s Spring Festival Gala, and of course, I’m also a fan of your music. Can I get your autograph later?"
Lin Yuan agreed with a smile, then shifted the topic: "Is the dance design for the song ’Peacock’ ready?"
Frank said, "You’ve taken a look at it."
After speaking, Frank immediately arranged a rehearsal.
Yun Tingtong took the stage and began her dance performance, her graceful movements enchanting, perfectly showcasing the skills of a top-tier dancer amid the musical accompaniment.
After the performance.
Yun Tingtong slightly gasped for breath as she stepped off the stage, and together with Frank, looked towards Lin Yuan:
"Does Teacher Admirable Fish have any advice?"
The two had been informed that Xian Yu was there to oversee the dance segment.
Considering his ranking and expertise in dance, neither of them had any objections.
Especially Yun Tingtong, who idolized Xian Yu and didn’t resist his involvement at all.
"I don’t think it’s quite right."
Lin Yuan spoke honestly, "The dance itself is undoubtedly beautiful, and there are no issues with the music cues, but the dance theme is not distinct enough. Lu Sheng’s song ’Peacock’ expresses an artistic concept where the singer likens themselves to a peacock, so the dance should also have the peacock’s form as its theme. You did embody this, but it’s not done well enough."
Yun Tingtong was taken aback:
"But I performed our Blue Star’s traditional dance ’Peacock Dance.’ Is my performance not good enough?"
"This is the ’Peacock Dance’?"
Lin Yuan’s expression showed a moment of surprise.
Frank was even more surprised: "Is Teacher Admirable Fish joking? You don’t know the ’Peacock Dance’?"
Did I make too many changes?
But I made very slight adjustments, just some minor modifications to the sequence and amplitude of movements to match the music.
However, how could Xian Yu possibly not recognize the Peacock Dance?
It certainly wasn’t Teacher Admirable Fish’s problem.
Instead of doubting Xian Yu, they began to question themselves.
Seems like there was a misunderstanding.
Lin Yuan was somewhat embarrassed.
His situation was unique; his dance skills were all obtained from the System, and he only recognized Earth’s dances, unfamiliar with Blue Star’s dances. He hadn’t expected Blue Star to also have a Peacock Dance, which was particularly famous.
He cleared his throat.
Lin Yuan spoke: "In any case, this dance doesn’t quite fit the song ’Peacock.’ We need to use a different dance."
Frank and Yun Tingtong’s expressions were already somewhat off; if they didn’t know the other party could dance, they might mistake him for a fraud.
"Also the ’Peacock Dance.’"
Lin Yuan said: "But different from your version."
Blue Star has a ’Peacock Dance.’
Earth also has a ’Peacock Dance.’
Earth’s Peacock Dance is a traditional performance dance of the Dai ethnic.
Originally a male-focused dance, it later evolved into a female dance until a dancer named Yang Liping appeared, who incorporated traditional peacock dance elements and transformed it into a modern dance more aligned with contemporary aesthetics.
Modern peacock dance differs significantly from traditional peacock dance in costume and performance style.
Lin Yuan intended to use Yang Liping’s style of modern ’Peacock Dance,’ which perfectly matched Lu Sheng’s song!
This was the most important criterion in choosing a dance; you can’t have someone perform ballet onstage to accompany Lu Sheng’s song ’Peacock.’
