Beautiful Princess in Neon Clothes - Phoenix Beauty Pageant Report (7) Zhang Zhaohong Do you still remember the beauty pageant last year? The four-season changes of "Spring Ting‧Summer Pleasure‧Autumn Love‧Winter Song" connected the whole scene, bright and beautiful, and Miss Zhou Chang became the 2010 Miss Chinese Beauty Queen. This beauty pageant of "Forty Rhymes of Hua Cai Fei Fei" was called "the best one in the past" by Mr. Yu Wenjin, a senior overseas Chinese leader. So, what are the characteristics of this year's beauty pageant? Zhang Huafang, vice chairman of the Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese, has a new suggestion: This year, the pageant will be held in a form that combines Chinese and Western culture, drawing on four movies featuring Chinese heroines and Western fairy tales to create a new Miss Chinese beauty pageant in Phoenix City. In order to cooperate with this National Day and beauty pageant, the Overseas Chinese Federation found a better venue to perform this year. The newly selected theater has moderate transportation, convenient parking, and a spacious stage, which meets the director's requirements. The director hired Mr. Hodgie Joe, who is a Korean. In 2007, Qiao has written and directed the musical "The Crane Wife" at Yunnan University of the Arts in China. It was the first perfect cooperation between the drama department of Yunnan University of Arts and the United States. Hodgie Joe learned Taekwondo at the age of 6. As a young man, he studied music, gymnastics, ballet, jazz dance and even street dance. He has choreographed and directed hundreds of influential dance performances across the United States. He is especially good at martial arts dance. The films he directed include: Anastasia, I Can Do Anything, Unfinished Business, and Unsolved Mysteries. This is also the first time that the Overseas Chinese Federation has hired a professional outsider to direct the entire beauty pageant. Like last year, this year's beauty pageant is also expressed with four themes, namely "Beijing Mulan, Charming Mermaid, Magical Princess and Dream Cinderella." Let us take a "sneak peek" below. 1. Animated Beijing Mulan. Have you ever remembered the line in Mulan's poem: "I went thousands of miles to fight, and passed through the mountains as if I were flying. The fresh air spreads to the golden watch, and the cold light shines on the iron clothes. The general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man returned in ten years." The heroine image of China's Hua Mulan was even brought to the big screen in the form of animation by Hollywood in the United States. This beauty pageant starts with "Mulan", which highlights the richness and splendor of Chinese culture. In the prologue before "Mulan", we specifically asked the director to create an exciting atmosphere and momentum to arouse the audience's enthusiasm. Therefore, Director Qiao specially designed a dance to start with martial arts, ballet, break dancing and acrobatics, and used powerful lighting, using red and purple lights, and using chasing lights and side lights to "bind" the dancers. Through high-decibel music and smoke screens, he created a strong atmosphere and used this as a prelude to lead the beauty pageant's collective dance "Mulan". The Beijing-style "Mulan" is choreographed and directed by Vanessa Hu from the New Oriental Art School. Teacher Hu has been dancing since she was a child and has furthered her studies in New York. She is good at dancing and directing. The dance practice venue at the New Oriental Art School is very professional, with solid wood floors, floor-to-ceiling mirrors, sound insulation, ample lighting, and wide floor space. Through hard practice, the beauties have mastered the charm and performance of Mulan's performance. This year, we will see a show that is different from previous years in which ancient Chinese beauties "holding a pipa alone and half covering their faces" will be replaced by a group of handsome girls who "don't teach Huma to cross the mountains" and will appear in a dashing and heroic style. 2. Romantic and charming mermaid. After Mulan, a burst of light music of different styles brought our feelings back from strong to soft, and the vigorous dance just now gradually turned into a lovely beach party. In the prelude to the second swimsuit show, the Caribbean sea breeze blew slowly, and a group of graceful dancers (choreographed by Hodgie Joe) performed graceful Latin dances (performed by the Caribbean Latin dance group) under orange and yellow lights, making the audience intoxicated in the romantic and exotic summer style. Under the colorful lights and music, the beauties appeared on the catwalk wearing swimsuits, like charming mermaids, showing off their beautiful figures. Remember? The beauty swimsuit show, which had been missing for decades, did not return to the stage until last year. However, the beauties at that time still wore a silk scarf to cover their waists. This was also the "most special" swimsuit show in the world! Can this year's beauties break the shackles of this superfluous thought? Because thirty or forty years ago, the Miss Chinese Phoenix Pageant had already had this kind of swimsuit performance that showed off the beauty of the figure! 3. The magical and talented pretty princess. In the prologue of the third scene, we first saw a Chinese magic-style "face-changing", which echoed the "Ancient Magic Box" choreographed and directed by Hodgie Qiao (performed by the Worldbeat Dance Company), which led to the talent show of the beauties. Set against the backdrop of classical music and green, purple and blue lights, the beauties took the stage one by one, using songs, piano, violin, folk dance, folk dance, Latin dance and other talents to show the versatile side of modern women. Many of these performances have won awards! The talent show is the most enjoyable part of the beauty pageant. Who can win the beauty contest with confidence in their beauty, beauty, intelligence and skills? ! 4. Dreamy and beautiful Cinderella. The fourth scene was a quiz. As a prelude, Director Qiao choreographed a Funky Ballroom dance performed by the ballet company. When the classical music started playing, the blue lights on the stage swayed, and the smoke screen turned on again, the seven beauties, already dressed in evening gowns, accompanied by handsome men, came to the stage to engage in wisdom questions and answers. How will they answer the question? Which beauty can surpass all other beauties, finally put on the most suitable "crystal slipper", change from "Cinderella" to Miss Chinese in Phoenix City in 2011, and wear a bright crown? A beauty pageant for "Princess Liying and Pretty Dresses" will be held on July 4th, let's wait and see!
