Brother Dao Took the Entertainment Industry by Storm, Fans Beg Me Not to Kill Anymore-Chapter 366: Dance Practice with Teacher Wen Huiyan

In a certain district of Shanghai, in an office building.

As a commercial building close to the core business district, almost the entire structure here was occupied by studios and companies related to the entertainment industry.

When Xiao He followed Liu Rulan into the building by swiping a card, he noticed that at this hour, there were many people coming and going. Among them were mainly some moderately famous male and female group idol stars.

Although they weren't dressed as cool, exquisite, and glamorous as they would be on stage, the aura of many people here was quite striking. Just in terms of physique, they belonged to the very top tier among celebrities in the industry, walking with a naturally cool and aloof internet-savvy vibe. Even wearing particularly simple sports t-shirts and long pants, they inexplicably had a runway-ready, trendy fashion style.

Coming here, Xiao He finally felt a sense of the entertainment industry intersecting with the fashion world. The artists here felt more like "celebrities," while rustic him was just an "actor."

Wearing a hat and mask, Xiao He walked among this crowd of handsome men and beautiful women, utterly inconspicuous and drowned out. In contrast, when Liu Rulan walked through the building, people often took the initiative to greet her. Even while waiting for the elevator, someone would specifically step aside to let Liu Rulan go first.

And when they looked at Xiao He beside Liu Rulan, their eyes would also show a flash of understanding, followed by a greeting directed at Xiao He as well.

This feeling was as if Liu Rulan was more popular than Xiao He, with everyone recognizing the agent first, then recognizing Xiao He, the artist.

But there was no helping it. Liu Rulan had managed Su Shengxi in the early days, and Su Shengxi had also transitioned from being an idol to an actor. Overall, he had already been among the peak batch of idol stars at that time, belonging to a level that many later arrivals in the domestic entertainment industry had been unable to surpass. And during the time when Su Shengxi was still mostly positioned as an idol, Liu Rulan had plenty of dealings with these people, so they were somewhat acquainted.

Xiao He felt a bit reserved at first, but after following Liu Rulan and greeting over ten handsome male idols and young, beautiful female idols in one go, his pressure actually lessened. He could even very calmly follow Liu Rulan's lead and nod in acknowledgment to these people.

—As for whether he recognized them or not, that fell into the blind spot of Xiao He's knowledge.

Finally, Liu Rulan took him by elevator to a certain floor of the commercial building, to a studio, and pushed open the door to a practice room.

Inside, the young female teacher was wearing a sports bra that very much accentuated her figure and cargo pants. Her hair was tied in a high ponytail, her makeup was beautiful and exquisite, and it also carried a bit of an internet-savvy feel.

At the moment, she was calling out the beat while demonstrating the moves to the students behind her in front of the mirror.

Hearing the noise, the female teacher turned her head to look at Liu Rulan, then a smile appeared on her face. After finishing calling that beat, she clapped her hands and said to the others in the practice room, "Free practice for now, I'll check each person's movements later!"

Then she walked towards Liu Rulan.

"You, how long has it been since you came to see me?"

She opened her arms and gave Liu Rulan a fierce hug.

Liu Rulan also wore a smile on her face, hugging the other party back while complaining, "It's not like you don't know, I've been so busy lately. Look, in the blink of an eye it's the end of the year again, all sorts of events are piling up, there's just too much going on."

After separating, the two exchanged a few more simple words. Then Liu Rulan looked at Xiao He and introduced him, "This is Wen Huiyan, a good friend of mine. She currently works as a dance teacher at this studio." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"Her choreography skills are very strong. Many well-known, breakout dance moves in the industry are her work. The program you'll be performing on stage this time is also choreographed by her."

Xiao He immediately raised his hand in greeting, "Hello, Teacher Wen."

"Hello, Teacher Xiao! I really like you, I've watched all your works!"

Wen Huiyan happily shook hands with Xiao He, then gave Liu Rulan a somewhat resentful look, "I even asked Liu Rulan before to get me your autograph, but this one was too busy. It's been so long and she still hasn't gotten it for me."

Liu Rulan smiled helplessly, "My fault, I apologize."

Xiao He also proactively took out a pen and said, "It's fine. It's my honor that Teacher Wen likes me. If you don't mind, I can sign a few more for you on the spot."

"That would be really great!"

Wen Huiyan immediately became happy, then winked at Xiao He, her charm carrying a hint of well-meaning teasing, "Such an obedient younger brother. I think we'll get along very well in the coming days."

Xiao He: "...Then I'll thank Teacher Wen in advance."

This session was basically a one-on-one private lesson, with Wen Huiyan guiding Xiao He through the moves once, then reinforcing the memory, practicing repeatedly, and finally practicing together with the few others who would be on stage with him later, arranging their positions.

Originally, when Xiao He said he couldn't dance and had never had any dance foundation, Wen Huiyan had already mentally prepared herself for a three-hundred-round battle with a wooden board. Unexpectedly, however, Xiao He's body was quite flexible, not that completely stiff wooden board state. Many moves that tested flexibility, Xiao He could perform after seeing them just once.

Moreover, Xiao He was quite open-minded. If a move required hip-swaying, he swayed his hips;if it required turning, he turned;if it required lifting a foot, he lifted his foot. He truly treated this seriously as a job to be done, and he maintained a learning attitude throughout, with a strong learning ability.

This entire stage performance lasted just over three minutes in total, and the actual dancing time on stage was less than two minutes altogether. Xiao He followed Wen Huiyan and danced all morning, basically memorizing all the moves. Some details were also adjusted one by one by Wen Huiyan. Basically, by mealtime, everyone could clock off on time to eat.

By the end of the lesson, the expression Wen Huiyan looked at Xiao He with could be described as amiable and kind.

As someone who dealt with the idol group all year round, she had seen far too many students of varying quality, most of whom could truly be described as disasters.

The type who joked and laughed while following along from start to finish, occasionally adding little moves they thought were cool in front of the mirror, was already considered relatively normal. There were also those who chatted in low voices during class, while also pointing fingers and commenting on certain moves, roasting each other and laughing. That type was actually still tolerable.

But there was one type that was absolutely deadly: those who suddenly lit a cigarette while dancing, smoking while trying to follow along. Wen Huiyan really had no way to deal with that.

This time, being able to encounter a student with a good attitude and good learning ability, Wen Huiyan was simply exceedingly amiable.

"Little He, tomorrow I'll have the others come over to practice the positioning. At that time, you'll all dance through it together once, and I'll directly fine-tune all your details together,"

Wen Huiyan said.

"Okay, thank you, Teacher Wen."

Xiao He packed up his things, said goodbye to Wen Huiyan, and then prepared to leave the practice room.

Just as he reached the elevator entrance, Xiao He heard someone call his name from behind.

"Brother Xiao!"

Xiao He stopped.

Did he have any acquaintances here?

The voice did sound somewhat familiar.

Xiao He turned to look and saw a young man with green-dyed hair enthusiastically waving at him.

Uh, the face looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a moment.

However, Xiao He's attention was more focused on the other person's head.

Hmm, the foolish thing he once did... after so many years, there were still people rushing forward to dye their hair this color!

Brother, listen to my advice, this thing really depends on having the right bone structure!
