After the performance, Tian Qiushui smiled and bowed to the audience before returning to the contestants' seats, her face beaming with joy.
The mentors began discussing her performance, and soon Song Chuanqiong praised her, saying, "Qiu Shui's performance was full of energy and she completely mastered the rhythm of the stage."
Mao Xiaozhen and Duan Jian also nodded in approval: "Tian Qiushui, your girl group dance is really great, very infectious."
Luo Jiarui added, "Your stage presence is very strong, but I think you can work more on the originality of your dances."
The scores were revealed, and Tian Qiushui achieved an impressive score of 892 points, quickly climbing to second place on the ranking list.
Although she didn't surpass Li Zile, she still managed to get into the top ranks.
Subsequently, the competition progressed significantly faster, with more than twenty contestants performing on stage one after another.
The atmosphere at the originally lively recording site gradually became somewhat dull.
After a series of performances, the audience began to feel fatigued, and their eyelids became heavy.
The stage lights softened, seemingly hinting that today's recording was about to come to an end.
Just when everyone thought the competition was about to end, the big screen flashed and then a name suddenly appeared—Jiang Songchu.
The name instantly roused the drowsy audience.
Jiang Songchu's name has been frequently appearing on social media recently. Her singing, dancing, and even her every move have become topics of conversation.
Jiang Songchu walked gracefully to the center of the stage, exuding a calm and composed demeanor.
Her appearance was like a breath of fresh air, dispelling the gloom in the hall.
Jiang Songchu has a tall and slender figure. Her classical temperament makes people feel as if they have traveled back to that glorious era, which makes people fall in love with her.
The audience's eyes were fixed on Jiang Songchu, some with curiosity in their eyes, while others were dismissive.
"Hmph, Jiang Songchu? Is that the little girl who suddenly became popular recently?" one contestant muttered disdainfully.
“Yeah, I heard she wants to try everything – singing, acting, dancing, she’s got it all covered. She’s got quite the ambition, but I don’t know if she can really succeed in all areas.” Another contestant chimed in, her eyes full of doubt.
Regardless, they were all waiting for Jiang Songchu's performance, wanting to see if this young girl was really as talented as rumored.
However, these discussions did not affect Jiang Songchu. She maintained her perfect demeanor and continued to walk to the center of the stage.
"Hello everyone, I am Jiang Songchu. Today, I will be performing a piece called 'New Reinterpretation of Yu Tune: Green Waist'." Jiang Songchu's voice was clear and melodious, like the sound of heaven.
As soon as she finished speaking, the stage lights began to turn dreamlike, gradually changing from soft warm tones to mysterious blue-green, bringing people into a dreamlike world.
"The New Version of 'Yu Diao Lv Yao'? Isn't that a piece that the famous ancient pipa player Kang Kunlun once played?" The audience below the stage started discussing among themselves.
Yes, Jiang Songchu is performing the Green Waist Dance today, a dance she often performed during Gu Tianrong's time.
Green Waist Dance is a traditional dance belonging to the category of soft dance. Its rhythm gradually increases, and the dance moves are light and graceful. It is also known as "Liuyao", "Luyao", or "Leshi".
As the lights changed and the music played, Jiang Songchu began her performance.
"In the south there is a beautiful woman, dancing gracefully with a green waist."
She wore a brightly colored long-sleeved dance costume, her dance was light and graceful, her sleeves were like clouds, her waist was supple, and her movements were full of poetry.
Her dance steps were as fluid as flowing water, and every turn and glance was mesmerizing.
It carries a bright and uplifting meaning, as if "fearing that it might not be caught, it flies away to chase the startled swan."
"My God, she's actually dancing the Green Waist Dance!" Someone stared wide-eyed in astonishment at Jiang Songchu, who was ethereal on the stage, hardly believing their eyes.
The audience was captivated by Jiang Songchu's performance, their eyes glued to the stage, afraid of missing a single detail.
Jiang Songchu's dance moves are like those of a fairy from heaven, light yet powerful. Every movement she makes is just right, making people marvel at her talent for dance.
Sleeve movements, waist movements, light and graceful steps... these movements require dancers to have extremely high physical flexibility and dance skills.
However, it was no challenge for Jiang Songchu.
She blended seamlessly with the music, perfectly showcasing the graceful and charming nature of the Green Waist Dance.
As the pace quickened, Jiang Songchu increased the range of her movements, even secretly using her internal energy to perform a series of difficult moves.
At the very end of the performance, the music stopped abruptly, and Jiang Songchu gracefully froze in her final pose.
She completed her final flying maneuver in the air, then paused for two or three seconds, like a crane spreading its wings, truly about to take flight into the sky.
The entire audience held their breath, falling into complete silence. Time seemed to stand still as everyone was deeply moved by her performance.
A few seconds later, first a couple of rounds of applause, then a tidal wave of applause erupted, the entire audience shouting in unison, "Jiang Songchu! Jiang Songchu!"
The judges were also deeply moved by Jiang Songchu's performance. Mao Xiaozhen stood up excitedly, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
She was about to speak when Song Chuanqiong interrupted her, saying, "This dance should only exist in heaven! Song Chu, I really enjoyed your performance!"
His words were full of praise and a hint of something ambiguous.
Jiang Songchu smiled and looked at Song Chuanqiong. Their eyes met in the air, and Jiang Songchu smiled gratefully before looking away.
Not to be outdone, Mao Xiaozhen immediately grabbed the microphone: "I can't comment on your performance, because in my opinion, it's more than enough to qualify for the finals."
Luo Jiarui nodded in agreement.
Duan Jian, who had been quite critical of many performances, now had to give Jiang Songchu two thumbs up to show his approval of her performance.
As the review ended, the score on the big screen began to jump, and the countdown numbers gradually decreased.
As the last second passed, an astonishing number lit up on the screen—956 points!
The audience erupted in thunderous applause and cheers once again. Jiang Songchu smiled, bowed, and gracefully stepped off the stage, returning to her seat.
Her performance was unforgettable for many viewers.
Director Xia He also sat in the dimly lit recording studio, his eyes fixed on the stage, his expression gradually changing from calm to excitement.
With each of Jiang Songchu's dance steps, his eyebrows twitched, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.
He nodded from time to time, silently calculating the sensational effect of the performance in his mind.
Jiang Songchu's performance was undoubtedly the biggest highlight of the night. Her talent convinced Xia He that this program would become a hot topic of discussion.
He couldn't help but nod repeatedly, muttering to himself, "This is definitely going to generate buzz. Jiang Songchu is a real gem!"
