Cao Xiaoxia estimated that it would take her two hours to draw the lot, so she decided to just sit down and watch the performance.
Just by looking at it like this, he was able to see through a bit.
Those who were able to participate were all professionals who had gone through many years of hard work. However, in the beginning, Cao Xiaoxia had underestimated herself, which was why she felt uneasy.
From the looks of it, some of the people on the stage were slightly stiff. Some of their expressions weren't good enough, and it wasn't difficult enough either. After watching ten dances, more than half of them were inferior to her.
When he saw this, he heaved a sigh of relief.
It was unknown who Li Yugeng saw as he stood up and walked outside. The three of them watched with relish while Li Yuyi commented from time to time.
"Yogg."
Lin Zimin glanced at Li Yugeng, and subconsciously looked back. "Yunyi, you didn't come?"
"He's here. He's watching the dance from the inside."
"Haha, this girl, she didn't even come out to greet me when she saw me coming." Lin Zimin was already over forty years old, but he was in good repair. He was wearing an iron-gray suit and was extremely handsome.
"Don't even mention her, I was shocked to see you. Uncle, why have you come to be a judge? "
Lin Zimin laughed. "You guys aren't paying attention, so of course you don't know. Every year, I would wait until the finals to come here. This year, there are many outstanding talents, and some young ones as well.
Someone called out to Lin Ziming from behind. It seemed that they would need to give him points soon after the jump. He thought for a while and said, "Well, you guys can finish reading in a while. Wait here at noon. Let's have a meal nearby." I haven't seen her in a long time, I really miss her. "
Li YuGeng thought for a while, and seeing Cao Xiaoxia inside, he said honestly, "Sure, sure. It's just that I don't know if it's convenient for you."
"We're family, it's not convenient to eat." When Lin Ziming saw his awkward expression, and how he was always so cold, he immediately understood. "Is it that your girlfriend is competing in there?"
"Oh, no, her sister."
"Hahaha, I understand. You're afraid of being affected, right? It's fine." Lin Zimin smilingly patted his shoulder. "I'm a judge here, but if it's a family banquet, then it's your girlfriend's sister. It'll be our family from now on."
Of course, Li Yugeng was happy. Lin Ziming was quite good at this and would be of help to Cao Xiaoxia.
"Alright, then go and busy yourself first. We'll be waiting at noon."
"Alright." Lin Ziming had only taken two steps before he turned around and smiled, "Tell the young lady not to be afraid. We will have a good competition. We are all sitting below the stage, what is there to be afraid of?"
Then, he really turned around and left.
Li YuGeng was delighted, and the corners of his mouth lifted when he returned to his seat.
Seeing this, Cao Xiaoling whispered, "What's making you so happy?"
"I just saw an acquaintance."
"Who is it?"
No matter how Cao Xiaolian asked, Li Yugeng didn't say anything. He just told her to watch the show.
The dances on the dances were indeed very attractive, there were all kinds of them. To Cao Xiaoxia, it was professional to watch the entrance, but to the other three, it was just an amateur watching the fun.
Everyone paid more attention to this match, so they changed their clothes and put on an act at the beginning. He was trying his best to get more points from the judges, but he didn't expect an accident to happen.
Surprisingly, he was an acquaintance.
"Alright, next, let's have < < Xi Zi Qing > >, which contestant Tao Yun has brought for us."
Tao Yun walked out from behind the red velvet curtain wearing a white muslin robe.
It had to be said that the dance she chose had a lot of advantages. The classical dances of the past two years had been quite hot, and her attire was beautiful. Or the Chinese have nostalgic feelings, the general judges will also give special preferential treatment to Chinese classical dance.
Tao Yun's clothes were different from theirs. They weren't made up of clothes bought outside the Dance Academy. It was obvious that it had been customized at a high price. As he walked, his long sleeves and the sleeves fluttered, as if an immortal had descended.
But the makeup on her face almost made her interested.
Her face was heavily made-up, especially her cheeks, which were as red as those of the plateau, and looked as if they had ruined her overall beauty.
Before he could get a better look, the music started playing.
As the first music flowed out, Tao Yun began to move his hands.
But as he jumped, the audience started whispering to each other.
The judges below were all professionals. They especially valued this year's competition and were the elites among the professionals. They had to criticize the previous dances that had performed well, let alone this one who looked so crude.
Lin Zimin joked, "This girl looks amazing just by looking at the backstage. She dares to show up at such a high level." Whoever knows the truth, let me know, so as not to hurt your feelings with a single score. "
The other female teacher looked very haughty and said disdainfully, "You are really messing around. This place is such a sacred hall, I don't know who's blind, but it's better if you are a relative. Jumping like this is worse than being a kindergarten kid." This is insulting us! "
Usually, people who worked in the arts would have a clear mind, but once these words were spoken, everyone immediately agreed.
Only Ji Yun was so angry that his face turned red.
Although he wasn't the one who started all this, Tao Qing did act magnanimously for his daughter when he finally came looking for her. But he thought Tao Qing was an artist, and the daughter he taught wouldn't be bad. Besides, if he was lacking, would he be able to come to the Peach Blossom Cup and embarrass himself?
Unexpectedly, she had truly come here to take their disgrace. Not only did she come here to take their disgrace, she had even caused herself to be insulted and insulted.
When he thought about how Tao Yun had caused this morning's incident, Ji Yun felt like vomiting. He felt that this daughter of his was most likely not compatible with him.
He was the first to draw a circle and said to everyone, "Sorry everyone, I don't know who selected this student, but no matter if it's someone I'm close with or someone I don't know, I have to apologize in advance. I can't let her pass, so if I were to give her a score, it would be an insult to my professionalism."
"Principal Ji, well said!" A man behind him was indignant. "I also gave zero points. We can't let this atmosphere ruin the dance."
When the next student finished their dance and Tao Yun's score was announced, everyone was stunned.
The host first quietly asked the audience what the exact answer was. When he got the exact answer, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Participant Number Eleven Tao Yun's final score is: 1 point."
Tao Yun was still beautiful. She thought that Ji Yun had to take care of her no matter what. Moreover, she felt good about herself and felt that she did dance very well.
Her smile froze on her face as soon as she heard one.
"Host, did you get it wrong?"
"Sorry, I thought so too." The host said apologetically, "But I've just asked the judges. The teachers said that the marks were not wrong and that it was just a single point."
Tao Yun immediately looked down, but found that Ji Yun was tilting his head and not looking at him at all.
"Alright, next, let's invite the judges to give their comments."
The one who took the microphone was Lin Zimin.
"Alright, let me say it. First of all, this point was given by me."
"Young lady's attire is still pretty good. Dancing and dancing, the most important thing is the visual effect. Clothing can also be considered as a part of it, so I gave young lady a point in her attire."
Lin Ziming adjusted his glasses. "As for the rest, I hope that this little girl can start from the basics when she returns. We all know about dancing. One minute onstage, ten years of martial arts." The level of professionalism you have can be seen with a single movement on the stage. This is a professional dance. We respect it, but we also hope that the contestants will respect it! "
These words were neither light nor heavy, but it clearly pointed out the reason why she was given such a grade.
"Alright, then we thank contestant # 11. Now we are looking forward to the dance < Why is the Flower Is So Red > brought by contestant No. 13 Shi Lulu. After contestant # 13 finishes his performance, let's listen to contestant # 12's final score."
Tao Yun floated down.
She didn't know why this was happening. Tao Qing had clearly helped her get her relationship straight. Ji Yun was her father, so why would he be relegated to a miserable state?
Tears gathered in her eyes, and she thought she would ask Dad why.
His cheek still hurt from the beating in the morning, so he could only use rouge to cover his face on stage. Otherwise, those with a discerning eye would be able to see through it immediately.
When Cao Xiaoxia heard the score, she was delighted.
"This Lin Zimin judge is really great." She laughed until her eyes curved, "Give her a point, hahaha. It's not as good as Zero. It means that apart from her clothes, she really is nothing good. Aiyo, she just pitied our school, and I didn't know that she even thought our school was filled with dregs like her. "
"That's why you have to do a good performance later to bring honor to your school."
Cao Xiaoling helped her with the veil, "You should go backstage to prepare. The 13th will be finished soon. You should find a makeup artist to help you fix your makeup and warm up."
"Alright." Cao Xiaoxia stood up and bumped into Li Yuyi, who had just returned from the washroom. "I'll go backstage first. You guys stay here and watch me."
Li Yiyi sat back in his seat and laughed, "What's wrong? When I went to the washroom, she went from being anxious to being full of confidence. Can I ask who gave her that kind of confidence?"
Cao Xiao Xia's dance went smoothly.
The judges below the stage watched very seriously as well. When it came to the final evaluation, her heart was pounding excitedly.
"Okay, let me tell you about this young contestant."
The one holding the microphone was Ji Yun. Smiling, he said, "I have to say, from this competitor, we can tell that the normal Chinese liquids are not for nothing. There will be a day when this becomes a kind of glory."
Cao Xiaoxia, who was praised, grinned happily.
"I have said more than that. I will directly express my intention with the score."
After saying that, Ji Yun lit up the wooden board in his hand.
"Ten!" The host shouted, "This is the first time our Principal Ji has scored a perfect score."
The following people all agreed upon the same thing. Although they didn't get 10 points, they all got a high score of over 9/5.
"So far, Cao Xiaoxia's score is 985. We don't know if she will be first tonight or not, but we do know that there will definitely be no problem in the finals."
Cao Xiao Xia didn't expect to get such a high score and was dumbfounded.
Even when he came down, he was still in a daze.
"Sis, can you pinch me? Am I dreaming?"
