Xia Zhiyi said he would, but when the news reached Director Min, it certainly wasn't just what he said.
So, Xia Zhiyi made a deal with Director Min that he would go to the base with the others. If Xia Zhiyi could pass the tests of the professors and etiquette teachers invited by Director Min, he wouldn't have to undergo several months of training at the base like the others.
At this moment, Xia Zhiyi had no idea that by going there, they had not only approved of him, but he had also been dragged along to become an etiquette teacher.
Before going there, Xia Zhiyi worked as a martial arts instructor.
Yes, although Xia Zhiyi said he would help Fu Yunyi if he couldn't find a suitable person, the result was that as soon as Fu Yunyi heard he was willing to help, without even needing Xu Chen as an intermediary, he excitedly returned to the old house the next day to find Xia Zhiyi: "Uncle! I need your help Jianghu!"
Xia Zhiyi: "... You haven't gone to find someone yet, have you?"
In the third season of " Boy Band ", Fu Yunyi is a celebrity mentor and one of the program's leaders. He is responsible for a series of planning and arrangements for the program, including the arrangement of mentors.
Otherwise, Xu Chen wouldn't have directly asked Xia Zhiyi if she needed help, because Fu Yunyi had that decision-making power.
"I've asked around since yesterday, including Xue Ranran, but with someone being replaced at the last minute, all the people I know and think are reliable are already booked and can't make it. A temporary guest would be more suitable."
"Those who came on their own initiative after hearing the news, I don't think they're reliable."
At this point, Fu Yunyi was still a little unhappy. "You don't know, there's someone who only debuted two years ago, and after finding out we're temporarily short-staffed, he actually wants to be a mentor too."
"That kid, including his time learning dance, has only been around for four years. He's not some kind of genius with extraordinary talent. He's only developed well in the last two years. He's good at marketing and has a lot of fans, but he's not qualified to be a mentor."
"Among our contestants this time, there are quite a few professional students and current university students, all majoring in related fields. If his qualifications and level are used to comment on these people, people will think that our program looks down on professional students."
Xia Zhiyi laughed, "Well, I'm not a professional either."
Fu Yunyi: "Yes, so I discussed it with the production team and asked you to be a martial arts instructor."
Xia Zhiyi surprise, "You really want me to teach martial arts? This talent show only lasts a few months from start to finish. Those contestants also have to practice singing and dancing. How much can I possibly teach?"
How long has it been?
Learning martial arts is not something that can be achieved overnight.
Even if you only teach some basic movements, many movements will look unappealing if you don't have a foundation and they lack spirit.
Fu Yunyi's eyes sparkled. "It's okay, don't worry. The contestants selected through our program's auditions all have a foundation. Even the trainees from several entertainment companies have a solid foundation."
"Our show doesn't create that 'hard-working' narrative, like someone who's never danced before but is willing to work hard. They'd be eliminated during the auditions."
The show " Boy Band " focuses on talent; although it's Boy Band, it doesn't mean you can succeed just by looking good.
If we're really talking about looks, Fu Yunyi, with his good looks and acting skills, could easily dominate the entertainment industry just by relying on his appearance.
But did he give up his abilities?
No.
He's worked so hard, so why should those who aren't even as good-looking as him think they can just rely on their looks to make money without doing anything? Dream on!
Fu Yunyi: "We held a meeting this morning, and after discussion, we all felt that we could try another innovation: invite you to be the martial arts instructor, and also invite several choreographers from the industry..."
In short, they are trying to create a completely traditional Chinese style Boy Band this time.
In fact, since Xia Zhiyi burst onto the scene that year, with official support, the domestic Chinese style has gradually begun to occupy the main market in recent years, unlike in previous years when, due to historical reasons, people in Xia Country more or less felt that the moon was brighter in foreign countries.
Or rather, national self-confidence had been somewhat undermined in the past, but as the country's strength increased and it even began to surpass other countries, national self-confidence gradually rose along with it.
The concept of Boy Band actually originated from abroad, and was popular in Stealing Country Xia Country Sun Country. When it spread to Xia Country, it continued the foreign style, including Boy Band dances and girl band dances.
In the past, everyone thought that foreign things were better, and traditional Chinese culture might even be considered vulgar.
But is it really vulgar?
No.
Now that traditional Chinese culture is gaining popularity, their Boy Band can also have their own traditional Chinese dances, showcasing the unique style of their Xia Country. There's no need for them to necessarily learn foreign dances, right?
In terms of cultural heritage, the Xia Country boasts thousands of years of history, encompassing all aspects, including dance.
Martial arts are also part of the historical heritage of their Xia Country, and the combination of martial arts and dance also has historical origins. Whether it is drawing on history or making bold innovations, there is room for development.
Coincidentally, Xia Zhiyi is currently recognized as the number one martial arts practitioner in China.
Don't ask, the answer is that among the other martial arts practitioners, three years have passed, and no one can fly as easily as Xia Zhiyi, as if it were child's play.
If that were all, we could only say that Xia Zhiyi Qinggong. Before her, people even doubted whether Qinggong really existed.
However, Xia Zhiyi has filmed several dramas and movies in recent years. Although she is not limited to roles with a lot of action scenes, most production crews with action scenes will have a martial arts instructor. These martial arts instructors are usually invited from folk and traditional martial arts schools.
Through this channel, Xia Zhiyi gradually came into contact with and even sparred with martial arts families that still have their traditions today.
After the sparring match, his strength was naturally widely recognized—regardless of whether he was a true master or a fake master, he couldn't beat Xia Zhiyi without holding back.
Many people do indeed prefer watching his action scenes.
Because Xia Zhiyi's action scenes are entertaining and realistic, even people who don't like watching TV dramas will feel a sense of "ah, maybe I can do it too if I work hard" when they see clips of Xia Zhiyi's action scenes.
Because Xia Zhiyi can actually do it, unlike in the old movies and TV dramas where other auxiliary means are used to achieve the same effect.
That's why everyone loves watching it; even though you can't do it after watching, the dream material feels more realistic.
This has even led to a surge in martial arts in China in recent years, and has also provided new jobs for many martial arts inheritors who were originally hidden among Ordinary Person. As a result, Xia Zhiyi is quite popular in this circle.
The problem is that no one knows which sect Xia Zhiyi is a disciple of.
Or rather, he doesn't belong to any fixed sect, because Xia Zhiyi is truly proficient in all eighteen martial arts. He is skilled in swordsmanship, fist and foot techniques, and is also good with knives, spears, and clubs, and even uncommon weapons.
So, which school or martial arts family could possibly produce such a person?
