Figure skating went to the Republic of China to write novels

Zhang Sushang was already on the scene, so Alexei naturally rolled up his sleeves to follow up.

The 1.9-meter giant and the 1.8-meter big man fought together. In the age when the average height was only 1.6 meters 2, their group fights could only be said to be flat pushes all the way. The battle ended within [-] minutes, and the two did not even have skin trauma. by.

Zhang Sushang threw the last person out, Alexei walked over and wanted to help the beaten person: "Are you okay?" But he was pushed away.

Only then did Zhang Sushang see this person's appearance clearly. He looked to be in his thirties, with golden brown hair, dark blue eyes, slender and thin, with delicate eyebrows and eyes.

He glanced at the two teenagers gloomyly, and forced the corners of his mouth to curl up.

"Thank you." After saying this, he was about to leave with a limp. Zhang Sushang hurried to stop him: "Are you injured? Do you want to find a place to take a look?"

The man replied calmly, "I have no money."

Poor people look down on medical care, and this principle was the same at the beginning of the twentieth century.

Zhang Sushang blinked, and took out his hands in his pockets. The man thought that he was going to give money to him, and felt a little uncomfortable. He was about to refuse the other party's kindness, but found that what the young man took out were a few squares with a strong smell of medicine. White fabric.

Zhang Sushang handed it over: "I usually like to exercise, and when I have a sprain, you can apply cold compresses first when you go home, and then apply this. It is very effective."

This is Jiang Jinghu's family's secret plaster. They only brought fifty stickers to Russia, and Zhang Sushang used up almost all of it by himself. Jiang Jinghu had to look for medicinal materials everywhere to prepare some new plasters. The people in the dormitory thought he was practicing witchcraft.

Fortunately, Jiang Jinghu usually shows other people in the dormitory building headaches, brain fever, and bruises. After the explanations of those former patients, and a wave of Jiang's traditional Chinese medicine, Jiang Jinghu was saved from being put on the fire to enjoy the treatment of the top sauna .

The man took the plaster, took a deep look at Zhang Sushang, turned his head and left.

When the family was at least ten meters away, Zhang Sushang turned around and put his arm on Alexei's shoulder and smiled: "Do you know him?"

Alexey glanced at him: "I don't know him." Then he added: "But I know who he is."

The man's name is Olof, and he was a member of Diaghilev's ballet troupe. Yes, that's where Nijinsky, the god of dance, stayed.

Before Russia was reborn in 1917, many ballet dancers were under the control of the rich and powerful, and it was normal for them to be sent around as gifts, and they had to cling to the rich to obtain sponsorship in order to get a chance to advance. Kind of unspoken rules.

For example, the ill-fated Nijinsky, after graduating from the dance school, first became the lover of Prince Pavel Levov. Count Shcheyevich accepted it, and was later sent to the bed of Diaghilev, who was 35 years old and had a belly full of fat.

Another example is Anna Pavlova, who was once the favorite of the Tsar.

Diaghilev is a well-known Russian art activist who organized many Russian dancers to tour Europe and established the Diaghilev Dance Troupe in 1913.

After getting Nijinsky, he was ecstatic, and invited Debussy and Stravinsky to arrange music for him, and asked Fokine to choreograph for him, and Carl Savina to be his dance partner...until Nijinsky couldn't stand Diaghilev's desire for control and violence, married his wife and had a daughter, and left Diaghilev.

Zhang Sushang has been practicing ballet since he was 4 years old, so he naturally knows these stories, so when Alexey said that Olov used to belong to the Diaghilev Dance Troupe, he understood everything in his heart.

The old society turned people into ghosts. Nijinsky, who used to be like a god, has now been admitted to a nursing home due to schizophrenia. It is obviously a lie to say that he is crazy and has nothing to do with his life experience. The dancers are not as famous as Nijinsky, nor do they escape some unspoken rules.

Alexei and Zhang Sushang said: "After 1917, some ballet dancers chose to escape from the hands of the nobles. Olof and his wife Giselle opened a ballet classroom, but he was so good-looking, so There will always be some people who will talk about his past."

And he knew Olof because he had a classmate who was the younger brother of the Olofus and his wife, and also a student of the Department of Physics at the University of Guerrilla. My sister was a very good choreographer in her early years.

Hearing this, Zhang Sushang said: "Then your previous statement was wrong. Olof didn't like men, but was forced by men. He is a victim, etc..."

Zhang Sushang's eyes lit up: "How much does Olov's dance class charge? Is his wife's choreography expensive?"

Alexei was confused: "Huh?"

Xiong Da found out that his roommate's focus has not been on Olof's sexual orientation from the beginning until now. He used to do it because he couldn't see how others could bully others, but now he is concerned about Olof's wife's choreography fees.

How did Alexei know this, Zhang Sushang stomped his feet anxiously: "Oh, Misha is going to participate in the World Championships again this year, and the program hasn't been set yet!"

Misha asked Zhang Sushang to help him choreograph, but how could Zhang Sushang do it?

And he asked Misha to enroll in ballet class to improve the beauty of body, but the teachers in ordinary ballet classrooms can only teach children, Misha is an adult man in his 20s, and it is said that he feels ashamed every day. One-on-one private lessons, but to paraphrase Zhang Sushang's words: the level of those teachers is not worth that price.

The advanced ballet school had to take the test again, Misha didn't have that level at all, and Zhang Sushang was not bad at taking the test.

So Misha’s ballet is still taught part-time by Zhang Sushang, but he usually has to take classes to write books and do translations. The time he can give Misha is limited. Purcell.

Zhang Sushang immediately turned his head and chased after him: "Olov! Wait! Don't leave yet!"

Alexei: "Chuka! Your bicycle and Leba are still here!"

At this time, Olof had only walked half a street, but he heard someone shouting his name. Looking back, it was the Chinese boy who had helped him just now, followed by a little giant carrying a bicycle.

Olof was almost scared by them and ran away.

On the second day, Misha was summoned by his good coach to No. 38, Tommaman Street, which is very remote. If Zhang Sushang's figure didn't give people a sense of security, he wouldn't dare to walk through this dark alley alone. .

"arrive."

Zhang Sushang stood in front of a dilapidated door, and there was a sign beside the door - Giselle Dance Classroom.

Misha couldn't help asking: "Qiuka, this place looks very dilapidated."

The conditions of this residential building are much worse than where Zhang Sushang and Alexei lived, but Zhang Sushang patted his chest and assured Misha: "Don't worry, the inside is cleaned very cleanly, and the dancing assistants The column is also very strong, it was knocked on by the teachers here, I have also inspected their teaching ability, and the level is good."

Olof and Giselle can only afford to rent such a place. This classroom is their place of work and their residence. The cooking depends on the only kitchen in the entire building, and there is only one toilet. Whether it is hygiene or environment Neither is good, but if they can't recruit more students, they won't even be able to pay next month's rent.

So yesterday, after Zhang Sushang finished talking with Olov, he conveniently left half of the five-pound Leba for them.

Zhang Sushang's reputation in Misha's place is very high. He dared to say that this place is good, and Misha believed it. He pushed open the rickety gate, and the ground was cleaned very clean.

The entrance is a table, two stools, and a pot of withered yellow plants in the corner of the narrow corridor. Olof is sitting there, and there is a door behind him. Seeing them coming in, Olof got up quickly, looking a little cramped: "Good morning."

Zhang Sushang introduced: "Misha Platov, my student, is an excellent figure skater, Misha, this is Olof, a very good dance teacher, and his Giselle used to be a ballet dancer , and can also choreograph, you should try a lesson with them first."

Trial class is a recruiting technique that many training institutions in later generations have. Students only need to spend a little money, or even no money, to attend a class. Whether they can retain students depends on the teacher's own ability.

Zhang Sushang paid 10 kopecks as a trial lesson fee, and asked Misha to change into her dancing shoes and go into the classroom to warm up. As Zhang Sushang said, the classroom was well maintained and the mirrors on the wall were wiped. The piano by the window is old but well maintained.

Ms. Giselle is a black-haired, blue-eyed beauty with a soft voice. She politely invites Zhang Sushang to sit on the piano bench, and then unceremoniously points out Zhang Sushang's manners to Misha. Pointing: "His neck leans forward, it's so ugly, like a turtle."

Zhang Sushang: "This kid is lazy. Except when he is on the ice, he likes to hunch his back all the time. I dare say he will become a hunchbacked grandpa when he gets old."

Gisele: "And the rounded shoulders, which are one with the nose and the hunchback."

Zhang Sushang: "So I need you to help me turn him into a swan."

Giselle: "Don't count on the swans. You can practice on your own. You can count on the big white geese at the entrance of the village."

Zhang Sushang: "That's fine."

The two were not polite, Zhang Sushang tapped the keys: "Then, let's start with a group of training, Olof, you take Misha to do it together?"

He sits upright, with his hands on the keys, and with the movement of his fingertips, soft piano sounds flow out. Ballet dancers always practice with music, which can help them find the sense of music and rhythm better.

Misha looked at him in astonishment. Zhang Sushang used to shout slogans or beat the beat with his hands when he took him to dance practice, but he didn't expect the coach to have such a skill.

Accompanied by the sound of the piano, Olof regained the feeling of performing on the stage, and his expression calmed down.

Hands-on training is to hold the railing in the dance classroom to practice basic ballet movements, such as one person wiping the floor, five people wiping the floor, squatting, small kicks, and big kicks.

The practice of these movements is naturally boring, but every excellent dancer is formed by the accumulation of countless such basic training.

Due to the limitations of the times, the difficulty of ballet movements today is far less than that of later generations. Many dancers of the virtuosic and madman school were not even born in the parents' generation, but the dance movements are composed of skills, body rhyme, and emotions.

Olof's movements are elegant and stable. Even in the most basic movements, it can be seen that his body control is very good, and his basic skills are more solid than alloy steel plates.

In the first group training, Misha was compared to a duck next to him. In the second group training, Olof patiently corrected his movements. Compared with Zhang Sushang, Olof obviously had a better temper. Being more meticulous and patient made Misha feel as warm as spring.

He felt that he was overwhelmed by the teacher's teaching style. Of course, it would be better if Qiuka and Giselle, two poisonous tongues, were not critical when he was in class.

The result of the trial class was naturally satisfactory, and when the money was paid, Misha planned to attend their one-on-one private lessons, but when he asked about the price, Misha was shocked.

"so cheap!?"

Giselle replied in a good-tempered manner: "Because we have few students, we can't afford to raise the price now, young man, your coach has found you the most high-quality and cheap ballet teacher in Russia."

Zhang Sushang asked next to him, "Can it be cheaper?"

Giselle glared at him: "Are you going to starve us to death? They are all proletarians, why are you so smart?"

Zhang Sushang was embarrassed: "Hey, when I was young, I always went out to buy vegetables with my family. When I got used to buying things, I used to bargain."

To solve Misha's matter, Zhang Sushang also had one thing on his mind. It just so happened that they moved in a new resident downstairs. Here, he also has an extra place to practice dancing.

He also suggested to Olof and Giselle: "If you want to recruit students, you have to take the initiative. Get some leaflets and go to the gate of the nearby elementary school. If you see parents with little girls, go over and put the leaflets. Remember to tell them. You have a ten-kopeck trial lesson here."

Giselle carefully took down the proposal given by Zhang Sushang, but before the trial class took effect, the second student ushered in here.

Lucas, who once met Zhang Sushang at the artificial ice rink, did not know where to find out about this place, and also came to him to learn ballet.

Olof understood at this moment: "This person is here to take Qiuka class."

While paying the money, Coach Maxim smiled generously: "How can you say that you are lazy when it comes to learning advanced skills?"
