Gym Grammy dance

The third season of this! This is street dance. It's almost over.

As one of the instructors, LAY begged the director on the stage of the latest issue: "I don't think they danced enough. Can we dance again? "

He tried his best to win an extra ray of light for the dancers who sweated on the stage, even if it was only for one more minute.

Compared with Eber, Wallace Chung and other mentors, lay people are "miserable".

From the beginning, the team building link hit a wall one after another, and the dancers in their own block left one after another.

As the follow-up games became more and more fierce, LAY lost many players again.

But from beginning to end, he went all out.

On the stage, he is a "dancing demon", and under the stage, he is the instructor Zhang, who arranges music and dances for dancers all night.

He personally participated in the design of every dance of the contestants, from arrangement to every minute of action, and skillfully integrated China elements into street dance.

In the first issue with the theme of "Xia", he led the team members to create two dances, Xia Yin and Dan Qing.

Dancers dressed in plain clothes are like knights in the mountains, starting with drums, horns and rustling music.

Simply turn the wrist and lower the knee, every movement is stepped on the drum, and the dance tension is displayed in the metal rhythm, which makes people feel the sword and shadow between the mountains and rivers.

The rowing at the end of the dance gave the audience goose bumps in front of the screen.

LAY's hip-hop shows surging wind and softness in ancient style, and this chivalrous soul from the inside out is irresistible.

Jackson Wang gave a perfect score directly on the spot, and Yibo (click to view) praised again and again: "Absolutely, absolutely."

At this time, winning or losing is not so important, just as LAY once said with tears: "Everything is love except programs and games."

Because he is passionate enough, he can work patiently

LAY is always paranoid about dancing.

Someone once asked him openly what he could give up for the stage.

He said: everything, even life.

Fans have covered LAY's itinerary. Every day from 65438+ 10 1, concerts, filming, variety shows, and many words fill the whole calendar.

After reading it, the netizen teased: If you can't stand it, just look at LAY's itinerary.

Bo Huang (click to view) once asked Lei to play the role of "Little Star" when directing the film "Lonely Island". At that time, Ray was writing songs, preparing an album and giving a concert.

When I heard Bo Huang say that the script was written in his image, this role was related to the success or failure of the whole movie, so I had to go to the island to start shooting at once.

LAY on the other end of the phone didn't mention anything about himself, so he ran to get his lines back that day.

Later, in the filming process, he wore a wig and chewed raw fish with scales. There was no idol burden, and he switched freely between the innocence in the early stage of the role and the blackening madness in the later stage.

Bo Huang was shocked by Lai Ndai's acting skills. He wanted to ask how Yixing did it, and he couldn't catch LAY at every dinner.

Later, when he learned that Lai always stayed in his room to write songs, Bo Huang said that the boy was diligent enough to do it.

After the release of "Lonely Island", the box office broke 65.438+0.3 billion, and Lei was nominated for the best supporting actor.

LAY slowed down and simply replied, "squeeze time and sleep less."

However, the lack of time did not affect the quality of his new songs. This year, LAY released the album Dream in the Rainforest and won the annual Chinese album sales champion.

LAY's Weibo name is not "LAY", but "Try harder", which is LAY's life creed.

Actor Gu Zhixin told Qian Feng in the variety My Boy that every time he got off work in the middle of the night, he could see him lying in the gym. He does push-ups and reads the lyrics.

Gu Zhixin said that LAY was the first artist he saw in the gym after twelve o'clock.

He is not allowed to waste any time, and even has the feeling of "praising his father every day".

During the rehearsal of the concert, his ankle was badly swollen after being injured by props, but during the treatment, LAY was the first to rush back to the rehearsal.

When recording "Extreme Challenge", he also fainted to the ground due to physical overdraft. After waking up, he apologized and even said that he was fine and continued recording.

Some people speculate whether the work assigned to him by the agent exceeds the standard, but the agent confides that LAY is the busiest artist she has seen in her career for more than ten years, but her own energy can't keep up with the pace of LAY.

There is no secret behind ray's success. He said that his life is 99% lucky and 1% hard work.

It's just that his 1% is more than others, and it needs to be honed and washed slowly again and again.

Every morning, when the bell rings, his aching muscles will remind him of the suffering he suffered day and night before.

The Korean director made a documentary "The God of Trainees", which tells the story of the debut of trainees who went to Korea.

These boys and girls received high-pressure training in the company for as little as a few months and as much as seven or eight years.

This difficult time may be their only chance to pursue their dreams, because many people may never make their debut even if they become trainees.

Here, thousands of teenagers flock to the stage with "fence" in each issue. Everyone is exhausted and only gets 120 places, and then choose 100 from 120 and 100 from100. ...

Every week, the number on the wall of the dance classroom is decreasing.

There are many people who fail to pursue their dreams, and the brokerage company will only sign the last "lucky one".

The company also has various grading systems to distinguish students. According to appearance, LAY ranks fourth from the bottom among 30 to 40 people.

In terms of physical flexibility, the class in which he stayed the longest was the worst class F.

On the birthday of 18, LAY made a video with his mother in his hometown in Hunan. He took off his clothes and wrung his sweat, and his panic and loss could no longer be concealed.

He said, "Mom, I really tried my best. If there is no result, I can't help it. "

After the phone call, he didn't eat the cake, turned and picked up the training suit and continued to go to the dance studio for "devil-like" practice.

If someone practices an action 10 times, he will practice it again 10 times on this basis. He digs every subtle movement in the mirror and asks himself to do better every time.

It gets dark quickly in winter in Seoul, but there is always a small window in the SM company building, and a teenager keeps practicing in a vest.

He firmly believes that one day, the last person left is a layman.

Five years later, Lai stood in the center of the stage.

On 20 12, LAY debuted as a member of the popular group EXO, and served as the lead dancer, deputy lead singer and musical instrument in the 12 team.

When EXO made its debut at Happy Camp, each team member introduced himself. LAY, who took the microphone, knelt down and touched the floor with his palm, saying that he wanted to satisfy the local atmosphere.

He didn't live up to this long-lost homeland.

Some members of EXO combination: starting from the second from the right.

However, LAY, which has not yet started to shine at this time, first encountered various controversies.

The netizen dug up his 14-year-old black and fat photo and spat at him. Every time I bow 90 degrees on the stage, I am accused of being too fake.

Even at the concert, a black powder threw a glass bottle at him when he bowed, and the glass bottle brushed past and hit the ground.

Lai didn't show any abnormality, and continued to thank him for leaving. Later, after the perpetrator was arrested, he was still arrogant and left a sentence: "Because I don't like him."

But LAY believes that any idol of the new generation is not on the road of picking flowers and being reviled at the same time, and anything that can be solved by hard work is not a problem.

Participate in the inspirational experience program "Extreme Challenge" and form a "men's gang" with Sun and others, and are open to any challenge.

In the men's gang, he is like a little sheep falling into a wolf's den, but when faced with challenges, he always rushes to the front.

Stay up late to deliver takeout, dress up as ugly, chat up passers-by, and stand by the roadside to survive ... LAY wants to prove that idols can also leave behind their burdens and become variety coffee.

Moreover, as a non-professional background, he practiced acting hard, from the affectionate interpretation of February Red in Old Nine Doors to the confrontation between the great cause of building the army and the old drama bones. Ray is still waiting for the day when the spotlight hits him impartially.

A student asked him what his dream was.

Ray said without hesitation, "I want to stand on the Grammy stage and perform as a China!" "

Grammy is the top hall of musicians.

LAY knew that another netizen was going to say that he had overreached himself, so he took the lead in going to the scene of "I am a singer".

At first, he mentioned in the program: "I will not participate in this program. It is estimated that no one will know that I am making music myself in my life. "

Zheng Jun (click to view) replied: I really don't know, this is the first time I know.

In fact, this also represents the inherent impression of most people on LAY, but LAY doesn't care because he came to tear off the label.

In the first issue, he sang Joker as a clown in exchange for screaming. In the second issue, he sang "Ailian said" in pure white.

In every scene, he strives for the ultimate originality. Changsha dialect rap sang Xiangjiang River water, strange and wanton ambush on all sides, independently completed the arrangement and created the descendants of the Yellow Emperor.

After getting along with him, Zheng Jun looked at him with new eyes and praised his music.

At the end of the program, LAY led the team to defend the title successfully. After winning the trophy, everyone gathered around him, ready to hear his acceptance speech.

He only said this sentence: "I want to tell all the teachers that I really like you, but I just don't know how to express it."

No carelessness, no fancy words. Because he knows that what to do next is more important than what to say in his heart.

In 20 19, LAY attended the 6 1 Grammy Awards Ceremony and became the first official and only China propaganda ambassador for the Grammy Music Festival.

Finally, he can accept every spotlight on the stage, and the outside world is really willing to listen to his voice.

In the face of being sought after, he still rarely boasted, just saying: "Probably because I am a person who turns on 16 degree air conditioner all the year round, my blood is hard to cool."

In fact, LAY has always had a fairy-tale thinking, which is a bit strange but cute.

At its height, Ray disappeared from public view for three months.

Quietly in a place where no one knew him, he made a documentary film Zero with his own personal experience as the theme.

There is no top idol LAY in the entertainment circle, no good boy LAY, only one LAY, and re-experience his route in different ways.

Time seems to go back to those years when he debuted, and he started an unknown journey in a strange city.

But this time, he will try what he was most afraid of before: running, fishing and playing music with Indians. ...

Sitting in an expensive racing car, he said foolishly, I am as slow as a little ant crawling on the track.

Others were puzzled and praised him for driving fast and steadily, while Lei's answer was somewhat "irrelevant".

"What this track needs is passion. There will always be people who work faster and harder than you, and all I have to do is keep moving forward forever and get faster every day. "

After listening to it, everyone understood that even if Ray was given n more chances, he would still go through life again in the way of "trying hard and trying hard".

Even in the era when traffic is king, LAY still won't take shortcuts. Maybe he has learned that there are no shortcuts in life.

Jiang Sida once asked him in an interview: You are so tired, can't you have a rest?

He replied:

If you don't want to be swallowed up by the complicated Internet, you should always stay awake and move closer to the stage in your heart.

Many years have passed, and LAY is still telling people with his own actions that dreams are the most precious and efforts are particularly cool.
