Chapter 155: Sword Dance
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
It turned out that Xia Wei’s fans knew her quite well. There was naturally a basis for her to say that she could try.
Xia Wei was not An Nan, who liked to boast, nor was she Xin Xin, who liked to “act”. As long as she was determined to do something, there was nothing she could not do!
Seeing Xia Wei take the prop sword from Lily, Jian Tan crossed his arms with interest and looked at Xia Wei in the middle of the venue with a smile.
There was silence when Xia Wei said that she wanted to give it a try. No one believed that Xia Wei really had such a foundation, but Jian Tan had an inexplicable feeling. He seemed to know that Xia Wei had such ability, so he was not worried that Xia Wei would embarrass herself in front of everyone!
Moreover, just as Xia Wei’s fans had said, Xia Wei was not someone who would lie or joke about such things.
Sun Hao and Tian Yang stood side by side behind Jian Tan. Actually, they did not believe that Xia Wei knew how to dance at all. They all felt that Xia Wei just wanted to create a gimmick in front of the audience to increase her personal popularity and discussion volume.
They had seen this kind of thing many times on the show, but there were only a few people who could really establish this perfect persona. Xia Wei was obviously not one of them.
Thinking that they would be able to see Xia Wei embarrass herself soon, they were extremely excited. After all, this dance move was so difficult. It would be strange if Xia Wei could do it.
They treated Xia Wei’s “try” as a good show and fun, but Xia Wei was really slapping their faces!
The girl stood in the middle of the training room. There was no one standing beside her. After she took the sword, her aura was different, like a peerless sword that had left its scabbard.
In the art of acting, the gaze and expression on a person’s face, as well as the aura on their body, were the most important. They would be a failure when there was nothing in their eyes and the aura on their body was insufficient to support the character they wanted to play.
At this moment, Xia Wei naturally did not have such an awkwardness that she could not get into character. In her previous life, she was the “last action actress in the entertainment industry” who was praised by the world!
Xia Wei’s posture of holding the sword was very straight and unrestrained. There was a sense of desolation that went without saying. Her body movements were very beautiful and powerful, and she looked like a depressed swordsman.
However, in the next second, it was as if the scene had changed. The decadence and loneliness on Xia Wei’s body dissipated, and the image of a young and bold and indulgent youth appeared. Xia Wei was no longer Xia Wei, but a carefree person who had seen through life and understood everything. She was a true hero.
The sword dance that Xia Wei tried to perform was extremely short and did not exceed two minutes.
Jian Tan was the first to come back to his senses in the practice room. He looked at Xia Wei with surprise and admiration in his eyes. It was the kind that he did not hide!
He smiled and applauded Xia Wei. He took a few steps forward and approached Xia Wei. He said happily, “Although the dance moves don’t match yet and Xia Wei acted on the spot, the mood and emotions are right. When I watched Xia Wei dance, the lyrics on paper kept flashing in my heart. I think Xia Wei’s performance is very tense and not bad!”
“It’s not just not bad! This is the first time I’ve seen someone learn dance like this in my life!” Lily’s expression was a little stunned, but it was more of a surprise!
She looked at Xia Wei as if she was looking at a genius dancer. Her eyes were filled with uncontrollable praise.
“Although her actions are not from the video, Xia Wei’s emotional expression is very smooth and fluent. I think she’s extremely beautiful! Xia Wei, did you dance in the past? Moreover, you have very good choreography skills. Did you learn classical folk dance?”
Xia Wei smiled in embarrassment and explained gently, “No, Teacher Lily. 1 didn’t learn dancing in the past. I’ve always learned acting. The reason why 1 know some basic skills is because of my family.”
“My Grandma used to sing operas and is very good at playing such a sword style, so I’ve more or less learned a little. I’m not very good at martial arts. I hope you don’t mind! If you think I’m alright, I’m willing to help you dance this sword dance..”
