One can only lament how swiftly time passes
In January of this year, the housing market in Shanghai sold 11,000 residential units, with less than one-tenth of them being transacted. Numerous buildings remain unsold, and hundreds of thousands of square meters of new residential properties are left vacant
Let's take turns making some extra money
Just this alone is enough to make a unique mark in the entire dance halls of Shanghai and Haikou
However, South American dance can be considered a unique phenomenon, as most of the movements involve shaking the lower body, making it quite suitable for beginners like Jing Xiaoqiang, whose body and soul have not yet fully integrated.
He felt so ashamed that he did not even dare to face his parents
These are all similar to the existence of the elders' group of the Wudang Sect, almost making me laugh out loud
The Shanghai Conservatory of Music, which is located nearby and ranks among the top two professional institutions in the country, does not allow non-exceptional graduates from various majors to join the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra after graduation
How to describe it
Heaven knows when housing prices will start to rise
Lambada, a Latin dance tune with South American flair, later became a very famous disco sensual dance song
Ultimately
Turned all ideals into idealization
On the first day of his arrival in Hu Hai, Jing Xiaoqiang found himself seated in the concert hall at the end of the performance
The reason is the high price, with the maximum price per square meter reaching 2300 yuan, which is astonishing
It is better to earn money steadily to buy a house and live a relaxed life
The dance halls of the tertiary industry in the education system are indeed the favorite gathering places for teachers
The sound of creaking!
There is a third industry dance hall under the Bureau of Science and Technology, primarily targeting employees in the technology and medical systems
The theater ballroom where there are the most enchanting young ladies, as well as the most old-timers and small-time rascals.
Business requirements can be elevated
Instantly became a monument, yet this individual still dreams of showcasing themselves on Broadway, leaving only a legend in the world of martial arts.
A university student has been living frugally since starting work, saving 50 yuan each month, which is already the maximum limit. It would take one hundred years to afford a two-bedroom apartment.
There must be.
Do you think there are flaws in his singing style
But in the eyes of others, it is simply my little darling
Therefore, any professional-grade dance studio or rehearsal room must ensure optimal ventilation and air conditioning
The dance halls have undergone a series of policy changes from the Ministry of Culture over the past decade, including "banning dance parties," "strengthening the management of dance parties," and "improving the management of dance parties"
In addition to experiencing heartbreak and unemployment, I am striving hard to go abroad, aiming to prove myself in the highest temple of musical theater, Broadway
Thus, the singing style is characterized by a briskness intertwined with a lingering sentiment
It is astonishing that he, who just walked by and spoke that sentence in perfectly standard Southwestern Mandarin, can sing so fluently in such a minor language
This represents a significant disparity in thresholds, since Fei Xiang brought "A Fire in Winter" to the Spring Festival Gala, showcasing his tremendous advantage in both singing and dancing.
Only Jing Xiaoqiang himself felt, oh dear, my waist!
Strolling towards the most bustling street in search of a dance hall
This is a song "Lambada" that he did not hear today while sitting in this dance hall listening to all the repetitive dance tunes that came and went.
Many domestic singers who perform in foreign languages rely heavily on memorized pronunciation, while those who can express themselves as fluently as in their mother tongue are worlds apart from this.
The musculoskeletal system cannot keep up with the body's awareness
Eighteen-year-old high school graduate, still wearing that wrinkled round-neck T-shirt, has not bathed for two or three days, and beneath the messy hair is a youthful appearance that clearly shows signs of sleep deprivation
Can sing and dance
It was not until a certain platform brought short videos across the ocean that I realized the earth-shaking changes that would occur in thirty years
Well ... ... very good, very satisfied
Practice is essential
As the most fashionable and trendsetting people in Shanghai, how much do they enjoy dancing these days
The greatest fear is to question one's original intention, as all dreams turn to emptiness
It is a type of hand drum with a circular wooden frame, commonly used by many families to entertain young children, and also found in some KTV private rooms in later generations. The wooden frame is covered on one side with a skin, and it is equipped with some metal pieces that can be shaken to produce sound
Jing Xiaoqiang mingled among them to help move items and arrange the tables and chairs
After a brief inquiry, Jing Xiaoqiang found that the best karaoke and dance halls in the Huanghai region are all located around the city center
In a mundane world, half a life spent in ignorance
This was the 1990s when the average salary for everyone was only a few dozen to a hundred yuan
In the previous life, I completed four years of a stage design major in Pingjing, becoming one of the earliest migrants to Beijing.
One year amounts to sixty thousand
He actually only vaguely remembers the domestic situation in the 1990s
In this lifetime, I must ensure that my parents can live comfortably and at ease as early as possible
Jing Xiaoqiang did not waste any words, stepping onto the stage to grab the wired microphone that had not yet been turned off, and then reaching for the tambourine next to the drum set at the back.
Absolutely unique
He casually patted his thigh, in a rhythm that seemed random, about seven or eight times, and then sang into the microphone!
In youth, one aspires to travel three thousand miles, yet hesitates for a hundred steps without any achievement
Seven or eight band members, there are already some signs as soon as the beat is heard
The cooling effect of air conditioners in this era is far inferior to that of later generations
The youngest trumpeter has nothing to do today, and casually drives people away as if swatting flies: "Go on, go on, our band doesn't lack dance music. Besides, the music academy is nearby; you can go there to sell songs instead."
The common people lament the rise of the tower, while the nation must inevitably maintain control.
When an expert speaks, one can immediately discern the truth of the matter
Awakening in a daze, I fall back into a dream; the room remains the same, the grand hall has not yet turned gray, yet wrinkles quietly appear at the brow.
Others chuckled
This dance music clearly employs the strong and lively rhythm of disco, yet the dancers engage in a cross hip contact, akin to grinding tofu
Many dance halls with poor air conditioning have only just begun the summer, even if a few standing fans are placed around the dance floor to blow air and cool down
In this day and age, openly selling flesh in the vibrant nightlife is still quite rare, except for those with exceptionally deep backgrounds, as being caught could lead to severe consequences.
The famous Shanghai Ocean Field, apart from a few foreign-related large hotels, restaurants, dance halls, and jazz bars, can only maintain limited operations.
Jing Xiaoqiang has been a hard worker.
As the clear singing of the Portuguese language began, everyone froze in place, looking at Jing Xiaoqiang in disbelief
There is a long-established hotel and dance hall that opened in the 1930s, equipped with a professional band from a broadcasting and television arts troupe
A kind of silky charm that cannot be expressed in Chinese
The courteous and refined waitstaff began to clear the venue, while the accompanying band also rose to pack up their instruments and scores in preparation for the end of their shift
Watching various stylish and beautiful girls practicing in the dance studio is quite exhilarating
especially in Huhai, a benchmark area for soaring housing prices
Thus, the old waiter, seeing that he was almost done, urged him to leave: "Little brat, go on, go on..."
While others can save fifty yuan a month, I can save five hundred yuan a month
Unaware of the vastness of heaven and earth
How many people can maintain stable breath and precise vocalization amidst a wide range of vigorous physical movements
However, after exploring the entire Shanghai and the surrounding areas... No, perhaps even after searching the whole country, one would not be able to find such a proficient and professional tone in singing Portuguese.
However, they are all cultured individuals, so it is best to ignore them and focus on tidying up their own belongings. The main focus is on a standard small band consisting of electric guitar, electric bass, keyboard, and drums, as the symphony orchestra has a solid foundation and can also incorporate musicians playing saxophone, trumpet, trombone, and violin.
Since going abroad in 1998, he has only occasionally learned about fragments through the internet, and he does not like to go online to concern himself with trivial matters
What is the professional level of the Shanghai-Hai Symphony Orchestra allocating a few personnel to take turns providing accompaniment for the ballroom?
Arriving in Shanghai a day earlier may allow for achieving financial freedom a day sooner
Thus, upon exiting the train station, the first thing I did was to buy a stack of newspapers to search for real estate information contained within them
Jing Xiaoqiang actually managed to get close to the singing stage: "I have a new disco dance song that can help you improve your performance"
Hurry to the train to Huanghai, only then can one slowly clarify their thoughts
Jing Xiaoqiang, who has spent decades in the musical theater, understands it very well
In fact, the masses have only this form of entertainment, with a large number of unmarried young people relying on it to interact with the opposite sex, and certainly many do so even after marriage
Due to mediocre connections and luck, I have faced frustration and disappointment after spending several years in various film crews and on stage without being able to showcase my talents
Thus, the atmosphere in the city center, which is even more intense, is simply remarkable
The Yangpu District, known as the "Lower Horn," has seventeen ordinary dance halls that attract over one million visitors annually, generating a revenue of two million
Moreover, he is using Portuguese
The dance halls and music tea houses that are open to the public only began to spring up like mushrooms after the rain after 1987, with their number reaching several hundred, ranking first in the country
As the number of dance partners increases, the mingling of body odors and the sour scent of sweat can be described as "permeating fragrance," which is quite off-putting
However, coinciding with the peak of summer in July, an insider like Jing Xiaoqiang, after inquiring with several establishments, unhesitatingly chose the ballroom of the municipal symphony orchestra
Northeast Asian music, South American music, and African music all feature similar rhythmic instruments
Therefore, what Jing Xiaoqiang can know is only about buying a house
He removed the microphone dragging the cable, spread his arms as if embracing a beautiful woman, and his waist and hips sank and swayed. The way he moved his hips in a circular motion clearly demonstrated his skill
It is not because the symphony orchestra's accompaniment is particularly professional, but rather that this ballroom is their own rehearsal hall for singing and dancing
In fact, it is filled with a strong odor of smelly feet
What is even more remarkable is that this seemingly youthful young man, who appears quite inexperienced, performs with great poise, delivering a captivating rendition solely through his rhythm, and even dances with a twist of his waist!
Jing Xiaoqiang stuffed a pile of waste newspapers into the trash bin
Even so, his smooth and graceful dance moves exude an authentic Latin flair
