meet at thirty

"Even if there weren't those batch of anchors stationed in station B, the dance area would have this day sooner or later."

After Pu Zhen changed his shoes, he closed the door gently.

"Yes." Wen Sheng's voice was slightly surprised, but Pu Zhen was not expecting to realize this.

When the domestic dance area was in chaos, Pu Zhenren was still in France.He has a personality that doesn't care about external things, and the Internet is not so convenient, so for a long time, his focus is only on origin.He didn't even pay attention to other Wu Jian's works, let alone weekly magazines.

It was through Weibo that I learned about this mess. It was four o'clock in the morning, and water3 retweeted a Weibo, and then deleted it in seconds.The early morning in China is also late at night in France, and there are definitely not many people who read that Weibo, but it is a coincidence that one of them is Pu Zhen.

Pu Zhen used all the information retrieval, tracking and analysis capabilities within his abilities, and spent the whole night figuring out the cause and current situation of the whole incident.The facts are obvious and not difficult to understand, but what Pu Zhen saw was more than the audience who scolded the ** anchor for ruining the dance area.

It's not that it's impossible for the anchor to dance, but he doesn't have the strength, and he doesn't want to improve his dancing skills. It's another thing to rely on selling meat with bare legs to attract traffic.

Because just wearing explosive clothes can attract clicks, so there is no need for long-term pondering and practice of movements.Not requiring a lot of practice means that the quantity can reach mass production, and then occupy the entire dance area interface.For the elderly in the dance area, the dance that they put in their time and energy in front of the mirror bit by bit is not as good as the dance that completely collapses the movements, and it can't even be called a dance.

Most dancers are not from a professional background, and the uploading and posting of dance practice and recording is just out of their own love.When the rewards cannot match the expectations and the enthusiasm is exhausted little by little, this road will come to an end.

"The Luo Denghua you saw last time is now the leader of Gufeng in the circle, but there was actually Ting Chunyu back then. The two of them have a good relationship and cooperate frequently. They are called Gufeng Shuangshu in the circle." There was a slight buzzing from the phone, Wen Sheng was immersed in the memory and didn't pay much attention, he paused for half a minute, and then said: "Listening to Chunyu is the circle that retired in 17 years."

However, this is not the worst case.

Rather than following a path to the end, the change of old and new is actually the norm in a circle.Newcomers are guided by the homepage and weekly magazines, acquiescing and following the thinking logic of "as long as black silk stilettos and miniskirts are standard, you can get a huge number of views", this is the scariest thing.

The sudden expansion of data is a dangerous sign, which means that the composition of the "foundation" of this circle has been reshuffled.When these newcomers lose interest in the dance circle and turn to other fields, while the original group of people who have the most loyal enthusiasm for house dance have long since been purged out, the whole circle will collapse completely, and there will be no more exist.

However, the "anchor" is not the root cause of this series of changes. As Pu Zhen said, whether there are these anchors or not, the transformation of the dance area will happen sooner or later.Absorbed, assimilated, and finally incorporated into popular culture, the dance area is not the first, nor will it be the last.

This is a fate that every niche circle cannot escape.

However, Wen Sheng and the others did not accept their fate because of this.Wen Sheng and the others are not traders, they can't change the whole circle.As dancers, all they can do is dance.

It is not difficult for those with a little heart to find that since February 17, the frequency of submissions on the origin official account has increased significantly.For a long time, the four of Wen Sheng kept working at least once a week.You must know that their dances are not random paddling works, many of which are original Zhenfu.

This is the dumbest method, but the effect is very intuitive.Although the dance rankings of the O group have fallen sharply, the guarantee of quantity has allowed their names to appear in the weekly magazines for a long time.

"Fortunately, you are here."

Pu Zhen's words were not insignificant, but Wen Sheng did not pretend to modestly deny it.He pursed his lips and did not speak in a hurry.

/ / /

Pu Zhen has her own shielding function, and has always been indifferent to people and things other than Wen Sheng.But after that time, he began to pay attention to other dancers who were familiar with Origin.Pu Zhen paid close attention to the dynamics of the dance area, regularly tracked the data flow, and drew one trend graph after another, as rigorous as a professional data analyst.

The origin account is like a small stubborn psoriasis advertisement. Although the ranking is not outstanding, it stubbornly sticks to the weekly list, making it difficult for people to ignore it.The hip-hop style has a relatively narrow audience, but that doesn't mean they don't have room to gain fans, not to mention that the four members of the O group each have different styles of good skins.Pu Zhen has been following the weekly magazine for a whole issue, and has witnessed the transformation of the barrage on origin from "Why are these people again" to "Can't you be my fan?" Pick up the dance area.

Some dancers feel disheartened, and retreat from the circle.Some dancers continued to persevere, and even became more active, as if they had received some silent encouragement.

In April 2017, Ting Chunyu submitted a farewell work, leaving a sentence "The rivers and lakes are not like when I came" and then there is no news.

In July 2017, the dance group free, which focuses on various hip-hop styles, was officially established.

In September 2017, the dance group Qinhuai submitted articles for three consecutive days, and all three works were included in the weekly magazine. Among them, Sparks, the work with the highest reproduction number, won the first place. This is Qinhuai's first weekly title in 9 years.

In October 2017, Qin Huai launched the Renaissance flipping dance project. The dancers participating in the project include all members of origin, all members of free, soft sticky, Lu Jiaoer, etc., all of whom are talented dancers with original choreography ability.The project was well received and was named the best project in the annual inventory of the dance area.

In the third week of January 2018, origin’s official account submitted an original work, Planet Sand, which completely ignited the first month of 1.With the rising rookie group free, veteran Wujian origin, Qinhuai and Luodenghua, plus Ting Chunyu who has already retired and was invited by origin to move out of the mountain, there is enough room for discussion on both the Wujian lineup and the song itself.People enthusiastically and sincerely discussed the alternation between the old and the new between the breakin of the F group and the back view of Chunyu waving goodbye, discussing the past, present and future of the dance area.

This is the first time that origin has returned to the weekly title since the dance area entered the "winter". "Planet of Sand" is like an unspoken signal.Everyone still criticizes the dance area for selling meat, but they no longer blindly sing bad words about the dance area.

As Lu Chuaner said on the trumpet, "But anyone who has seen those dancers shining in front of the camera will no longer be able to say such words as Wuqu Pills lightly."

This is a battle between the individual and the market.The trend of commercialization and popularization is unavoidable, but people who love this circle have united within their own capabilities, and have earned the current situation where Wujian anchors share the world equally.The anchors still have high popularity, but the excellent works finally have the possibility of being discovered.

Not exactly a win, but not a loss either.

It is an exaggeration to say that Wen Sheng's O Group has achieved the current situation by itself, but whether it is the South, South, North, North, and South of the players in the game, and Pu Zhen, who is on the sidelines, they all know very well: If there is no origin, there will be no dance. district today.

Pu Zhen is a dancer himself, and he knows very well how much time and energy it takes to maintain this level of high quality and high productivity.Even for Wen Sheng's level of strength, the intensity required for one shot a week is almost harsh.

"At that time..." Pu Zhen's voice stopped abruptly, and Wen Sheng's tentative voice kept coming from the earphones. He paused for a while, and said in a tone as normal as possible: "It's nothing, just signaled." not too good.

He wanted to tell Wen Sheng that at that time he had a lot of homework, and spent all his spare time in the dance room learning to dance, and when he returned to the student apartment to sleep, he switched to a few trumpets to refresh Wen Sheng's playback.

He also wanted to tell Wen Sheng that they had accomplished a remarkable thing.

But he couldn't say it.

"At that time, I saw reports about your participation in KOD and WOD*." Pu Zhen just said that.

The four of Wen Sheng did a good job of keeping secrets. It wasn't until the relevant reports came out that people around them knew that they had also participated in two world-class hip-hop competitions on the basis of the high intensity of casting once a week.A person's energy is limited, and if he wants to accomplish something beyond the limit, he must pay a corresponding price.

Rationally, Pu Zhen remained calm and self-reliant from the beginning to the end, doing everything within his ability to support Wen Sheng.

However, after Pu Zhen saw the news that Wen Sheng and the others participated in KOD and WOD, he also clearly realized that his "objective rationality" might make him regret it in the future.This "future" came very quickly—on the [-]th anniversary of Group O, the official blog announced that Captain Wen Sheng had left the team to recuperate due to a leg injury, and Pu Zhen's premonition finally came true.

"It would be great if I could do more at that time." "It would be great if 'sol' existed at that time." "Even if it wasn't good enough at that time, if I could pass my support to Wen Sheng, even if it could have some impact on him." A little bit of encouragement is fine"... These complicated and impossible assumptions will haunt Pu Xin like a lingering demon, and will come out to wreak havoc at an unpredictable moment .

That would be the difficulty in Pu Xin's mind forever.

/ / /

Wen Sheng was faintly worried.

The person who called because of concern was Pu Zhen, but after talking about it, he always felt that something was wrong with Pu Zhen.

Wen Sheng was too aware of how low his little boyfriend put himself, which made him worry that the other party would accuse him of accusations again without saying a word.

Wen Sheng and Pu Zhen talked on the phone for three quarters of an hour, and when they heard the noise from the phone disappear, they suddenly felt something in their hearts.

The sixth sense suddenly appeared, making his heart beat faster inexplicably.

Wen Sheng held his breath when he heard a sound like a door closing.Within a minute, he heard Pu Zhen say to him: "You open the door downstairs."

No one hung up the phone, Wen Sheng got up to the door and pressed the switch.He maintained the posture of holding his mobile phone, and heard the familiar "ding" sound of the elevator coming from the microphone, until the door knocked, he opened the door, and put down the mobile phone at the same time as the person in front of him.

The young man who was much taller than himself didn't speak, but just opened his hands and hugged him vigorously.

No matter how mature and stable a person is, his sanity will be greatly compromised when he falls in love.However, for Wen Sheng, it seemed too monotonous and pale to describe this hug simply as "impulsive".

Wen Sheng put himself in the opposite position, thinking that if Pu Zhen was like him, then he should be able to draw some energy from this hug.

Wen Sheng and Pu Zhen hugged each other tightly, their ears numb from the hot and humid air.

"The weather forecast says there will be showers tomorrow."

Wen Sheng was used to his discourse pattern of never hitting a straight ball no matter how clumsy the excuse was, but he heard Pu Zhen speak again.

"I wanted to remind you on the phone, but I still want to tell you in person."

Pu Zhen himself can't explain why he maintains almost empathy for Wen Sheng while maintaining a high degree of indifference to the dance circle.But at this moment, he did feel unprecedented gratitude for the relationship between the two of them.Thanks to the status of "boyfriend" who once troubled him, Pu Zhen finally doesn't have to experience the regrets of the past again.

The former straight man Wen Sheng never thought that he would have a day when he would be held in the face by others, but Pu looked really pious, which largely diluted the embarrassment he thought he would have.

Pu Zhen looked at Wen Sheng with fixed eyes, and said the most clumsy love words to his beloved in the way he was least good at: "As long as you are still in this circle, I will always be here."

He will never miss anything related to Wen Sheng again.
