"Is the song selection finalized?" The program assistant came over and asked.
Teacher Yu Zhi nodded and handed him the list of songs that had been determined.
The assistant glanced at it and said to the artists: "The selection of songs and the measurement data of each person will be reported, and the designer hired by the program team will design Kosten according to the style of the song."
"It can be said that there is no need for the program team to provide Costen."
The artists present had done their homework more or less in advance, and knew that Costen was referring to the figure skating competition suit.
Costens for professional athletes are expensive, because they have to take into account the comfort of doing jumping and rotating movements, and have high functional requirements for clothing, and work hard on fabrics and tailoring.
In addition to inviting professional designers to design and produce, it is also a lot of money.
The people present are not professional, so there is no need to pay attention to functionality, but considering the effect of variety shows, it is best to make the clothes as beautiful and eye-catching as possible.
The designer who did not know the skill invited by the program team designed more than a dozen sets of Kosten at one time, and knew that it could not be so good.
Ji Yuheng was the first to speak: "I can prepare it myself."
The assistant nodded and wrote "bring your own" after Ji Yuheng's name.
After him, two more artists offered to prepare their own.
Yu Nian thought about his savings, and the custom-made longboard emptied his wallet. Later, he made some money by painting at Wenxi Mountain. Then he went to Tianmen Mountain for a competition, and he spent about the same on travel, food and lodging.
Fortunately, winning the championship got a check for $5,000, but that's about it.
So he did not propose his own choice.
The same is true for other small paste coffees, silently accepting the arrangement of the program group, and praying that the designer can be more reliable.
After the assistant left with the list of songs, Yu Zhi announced that today's class officially started.
The feeling of the unstable center of gravity and the possibility of falling down at any time made the artists hold the railing on the inside of the ice rink and slowly try to move the skates under their feet.
Yu Zhi twitched the corners of his mouth when he saw it: "They are all big boys, why are they so brave? Even children of their age dare to let go and slide."
"Stay away from the railing a little bit, let go of one hand and try to overcome your fears. It's not like roller skating. You can do it if you can."
He demonstrates his glide gesture: "Like this, bend your knees slightly, don't let your hands and arms swing."
Ji Yuheng has experience on ice. At this time, he stepped on the ice skate and slid a large circle on the huge ice rink. The movement was pleasing to the eye, in stark contrast to other artists who were walking hard on the railing.
Yu Zhi pointed at Ji Yuheng: "Look at Yu Heng, relax, don't be so nervous."
"You guys are far from acting, you have to build your feeling on the ice first."
"Your sense of ice also has the control of the center of gravity, which is the most important thing to hone. If you can use the ice blade to independently accelerate and decelerate through the ice surface, and you can control and stabilize the center of gravity, it is half the success for you."
Yu Nian stepped on the ice blade and heard the swishing sound of the blade under his feet touching the ice surface.
Like all beginners, he had to lean on the railing on the inside of the ice rink to get a feel for the first time on the ice.
This kind of mastery of the body and the control of the center of gravity made Yu Nian somewhat familiar, similar to how he felt when he was learning the longboard.
This made him less embarrassed than others when he first got on the ice, and he quickly found the key to controlling his balance on the ice.
Looking at a group of entertainers with ugly postures and embarrassed moving on the ice, Yu Zhi couldn't help sighing, feeling a little tired.
When his eyes swept to the side of Yu Nian, he was slightly stunned.
He slid casually on the ice, and there was no footwork arrangement to speak of, but the skating was very stable and smooth, and his limbs were quite stretched and not stiff, which made Yu Nian slide without arrangement, but still had a natural beauty. .
It looks like it should have been on ice before. Yu Zhi evaluated in his heart.
He has some in-law relationship with Liu Chuan. He is not the coach of the provincial team, but he teaches skating at the nearby ice rink. This time, it is a bit related to the provincial team to help.
Thinking of what Liu Chuan had said before, Yu Zhi looked away at Ji Yuheng, and began to teach him: "Your sense of balance is good, let's try to learn the basic footwork, front and rear gourd steps and snake steps. ."
"For the front gourd step, the focus should be on the front leg. You see, like me, draw an arc from both sides and transition to a front and rear cross."
Having said that, Yu Zhi demonstrated it several times.
His partiality was so obvious that the surrounding artists were somewhat dissatisfied.
Yu Zhi noticed these emotions and explained: "You can't even stand firm. You can move on after you have mastered your balance on the ice as I said."
"Yu Heng's progress is quicker, so he needs to teach more."
That Yu Nian slipped pretty well, why didn't you give him some progress? Some people complained inwardly, but did not dare to say it.
Fortunately, the teacher is still paying attention to the movement around him, giving pointers from time to time.
Listening to his teaching, Yu Nian asked, "Can you demonstrate the snake step with front legs again?"
Yu Zhi glanced at him and nodded: "Okay, a while."
Yu Nian Jing watched him continue to teach Ji Yuheng hand in hand, and looked away.
This "moment" is the whole morning.
Yu Zhi was tired of teaching, so he greeted Ji Yuheng: "Yu Heng, you practice by yourself first, I'll go get some water."
Saying that, he walked off the ice and put shoe covers on the skates.
Looking at the small pits carved out by the artist's skates on the ice surface during the few hours of practice, he greeted the staff: "Practice for another ten minutes, and let the ice cleaner clear the ice surface."
Beside him, Ji Yuheng was practicing by himself, reviewing Yu Zhijiao's footwork just now, and drawing arcs on the ice.
When he just slipped in front of Yu Nian, the back edge of his ice blade got stuck in the small pit, and he fell forward when he didn't stabilize his center of gravity.
Yu Nian raised his eyes, and when he saw this, he stretched out his hand to pull him, but Ji Yuheng weighed him and fell onto the ice.
Ji Yuheng only felt that the world was spinning for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he found that he was holding his hand on the side of Yu Nian's head, pressing the person under him.
Ji Yuheng looked at Yu Nian under him in a daze.
He frowned slightly, his facial features to the extreme.
Lying on the ice, his jet-black hair and the snow-white ice beneath him set off each other, like a vivid painting.
Moved his fingers, Ji Yuheng caught a glimpse of red in the corner of his eyes. He followed it and found that Yu Nian's palm was cut by ice balls. At this moment, blood was seeping from the wound, and it was particularly conspicuous on the white ice surface.
"you-"
Yu Nian felt uncomfortable under his pressure, lowered his eyelashes, and said in an impatient voice, "Get up."
Ji Yuheng got up from him in embarrassment: "Thank you..."
Only then did he notice that in addition to the wound on Yu Nian's palm that had just been scratched by the ice ball, there was still a large piece of scab on his wrist, and he couldn't help but wonder where the injury was.
Yu Zhi noticed the movement here, ran over and asked, "Are you alright?"
Yu Nian knew that he wasn't asking himself, so he stood up, shook his palms, and took off his half-finger gloves.
Ji Yuheng put his hands on his side, curled up and stretched out, and finally said nothing.
Yu Zhi looked over and saw that Yu Nian made a small cut on his hand, and said, "Go down and rest first, and put on a Band-Aid."
After saying that, he looked at the others, and stopped.
"Don't practice for now, wait until the ice is cleared, and then take a rest."
The staff turned on the ice machine to clear the ice.
Seeing this, Yu Zhi turned to look at Yu Nian, who had already got off the ice rink and was putting on a Band-Aid: "Is it alright if my feet aren't swollen?"
Yu Nian put on the Band-Aid and moved his eyelashes: "We've arrived."
Yu Zhi choked for a moment, thinking that he would be strong and say nothing.
Seeing that Yu Nian had said so, he had no choice but to reply: "Then you rest first, don't be brave, come here first today."
Yu Nian nodded and asked, "Can I see a doctor?"
"Go, let's go." Yu Zhi waved his hand.
Yu Nian took off his skates, put on his own shoes, and walked out unnaturally.
Ji Yuheng took two glances.
After turning out of the ice rink, Yu Nian's footwork returned to normal.
His feet were fine, but the teacher didn't seem to have much intention of teaching him.
Yu Nian did not forget that after winning the Tianmen Mountain Longboard Downhill Open Championship, as a reward for over-completing the task, in addition to the lifting of the ban in dance, there is also an in-depth study of any project experience course**.
He did not go in the direction of the team doctor, but in the direction of his apartment.
After returning to the apartment, Yu Nian called out the system.
A translucent system panel appeared in front of him, and he looked at the reward of the random project experience course.
"The event is designated as figure skating."
[Experience Course Open - Figure Skating]
Seeing the bold and protruding fonts slowly appearing in this row, Yu Nian leaned on the sofa and closed his eyes.
The next moment, he entered the system space.
The coldness came, and the green and green mountains that were here before were replaced by a snow-white ice field.
In the center of the ice rink, stood a lady with her hair upturned and an elegant figure stepping on a skate.
The coach is no longer the tall, strong man.
She saw Yu Nian's smile: "Welcome. I am your coach for this course, and I look forward to spending a good time together."
*
Yu Nian "cultivated" at home for two days, until that day Yu Zhi called and said that Costen had customized it and asked him to come and try it.
After Yu Nian arrived, Yu Zhi's expression was a little dissatisfied: "This delicate one, it's been two days since he slapped his feet."
"I have to arrange movements for you later, so hurry up."
Yu Nian glanced at him, the corners of his mouth raised: "Don't bother you, I can handle it myself."
Yu Zhi wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.
He wondered if Yu Nian saw his neglect, and now he felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze.
Yu Nian looked away from the teacher and looked at the entertainers who were practising in full swing on the ice rink.
Their performance is much better than the previous days.
After two or three days of learning on the ice rink, he was finally able to skate on the ice, so Yu Zhi began to practice basic courses, interspersed with some land training.
After he has mastered the ice skating with both feet, he will practice the front and rear gourd steps, the sawtooth step, the left and right front pressing steps, and the one-legged skating step by step. He estimates that he can teach this much at most. their talent and effort.
During the training on land, the artists were less afraid of being on the ice, and their performance was much more positive.
So Yu Zhi tried to teach 90-degree jumps and half-cycle jumps on land.
This level of jumping is not difficult to complete on land, and everyone also finds some confidence in this kind of practice.
But once the venue was on ice, it felt different.
Stepping on the thin skating blade, making a small jump with both feet off the ground is quite difficult, not to mention turning.
Provincial team coach Chen Hua came over to take a look, but he expected this situation. He doesn't ask much, but focuses on the smoothness of sliding and the learning of footwork.
Even if there is no jumping, as long as you slide freely and your posture is better, these young artists with good looks will not be difficult to see in the camera.
The score of figure skating is divided into technical score and program content score. The technical score is based on the quality and execution score of the players' technical movements. Naturally, the examination is the difficulty and completion of the movement.
The content of the program depends on the skater's skating skills, connection, performance, choreography and music performance.
In the All-Star Games, the ice and snow event can only be regarded as a marginal experience event.
The competition system has been greatly adjusted to accommodate the level of artists. The original short program and free skating have been shortened to a three-minute ice performance. The technical requirements are almost zero.
After all, it is almost impossible for artists to complete difficult jumps, footwork, rotations, etc. after such a short period of learning.
But since the face is a competition, there is always a judging standard. This time the standard is to mainly examine the performance of the contestants, and decide the winner based on the content of the program.
Therefore, after a few days of training, the artists present were finally able to step on the ice skates to skate, and they hurriedly entered the programming of the program.
Whether they can coordinate with their own music selection, interpret the music with body and movements, and impress the audience and judges, this is what they have to do.
Yu Nian looked away and saw a middle-aged man with an unfamiliar face standing not far away.
He was dressed in trendy clothes, and there was a hanger next to him, with several Costens of different colors hanging on it.
This should be the designer responsible for Costen.
Yu Nian walked towards him and said hello.
When the designer saw him, his eyes turned on his face, and then he moved down to scan his slender and flexible figure, his eyebrows raised with satisfaction: "Yu Nian, did you choose "The Soul of the Rose"?"
"Hello."
He continued to look at it, with exclamation in his eyes: "You don't look like the photo."
The photos given by the program team were taken earlier. The facial features of Yu Nian on the top are excellent, but they always give people the feeling of being too gorgeous. It looks good, but it is not atmospheric.
The temperament of the person standing in front of him was very different. It is still the same facial features, but there is an indescribable temperament on his body.
"Others have tried Kosten, gave me a lot of opinions, and some have changed when I go back."
He said, and took a red-colored Costen from the hanger: "Rose Soul... Well, this one is tailored according to your measurements."
Yu Nian glanced at the Costen handed over by him. The cut was simple, with some folds and rose elements added to the material. At first glance, it looked like an outdated autumn clothes.
The designer said hesitantly: "I think, maybe it should be modified."
Yu Nian smiled at him: "I think so too."
The designer coughed lightly: "If I could see your real person sooner, you really don't look like the photo at all. If I could see you face to face like this, it would definitely spark a lot of inspiration."
He took the autumn clothes-like Kosten for recycling, and seemed a little embarrassed to take it out.
The designer continued: "During the competition, decorations such as beads, sequins, and rhinestones are strictly controlled. Once they are dropped, points will be deducted. Therefore, if they are to be fixed, they must be sewn by hand, which is very time-consuming."
He tried to attribute the simplicity of this Costen piece to the lack of time to fix the ornaments.
After a pause, the designer looked at Yu Nian: "But I think your rose soul is worth the time. After adding those beautiful beaded embroidery and bright diamonds, can I give you Kosten again?"
Yu Nian imagined the effect of adding beads and rhinestones to this autumn coat.
His smile was still polite and decent: "Do you have any ideas for revisions? Patterns composed of beaded embroidery and bright diamonds, as well as other color schemes and decorations?"
The designer thought for a while and answered honestly: "Vaguely. The choreography of "Soul of the Rose" is Fu Jin, and Fu Jin is really a talented artist. He said that the Soul of Rose is a elf, a dream, a rose The scent of a flower is the caress of the petals—tsk tsk."
Yu Nian listened carefully, saw his pen and paper next to him, and asked with his eyes.
The designer smiled and said, "Use whatever you want."
So Yu Nian picked up the pen and sketched the pattern on the paper.
The designer didn't take it seriously, and was amazed when the pattern on the paper gradually became clear: "The way you use to express the image of the rose is too ingenious, with a textured pattern."
"I promise, the beadwork and diamonds I use will be according to your pattern."
