How strong is the appeal of square dancing?
As soon as Su Yu and the others went downstairs, a group of aunts was already waiting below.
There were about a dozen people.
"Gui Zhi, is this your son?"
"What are you asking? Don't you know Gui Zhi's son is a big star? He writes songs."
"Hey, I usually only watch some TV dramas. I don't recognize any singers. No, Liu Qiliang, Director Liu, I do recognize him."
"Gui Zhi, you have such a handsome son, and you didn't bring him out sooner. Are you treating us like outsiders?"
Zhang Guizhi smiled from ear to ear as her son was praised by her sisters, "My son is busy. Isn't he brought out now? You all chat, I'll go grab a spot first."
After speaking, she took the speaker from Su Yu's hand and hurried towards the square with her aunt and others.
"Not bad, he's getting more handsome the more I look. Gui Zhi, you are truly blessed."
"What a handsome young man. Do you have a girlfriend? Should auntie introduce one to you?"
"Young man, I have a daughter..."
After Su Yu's mother left.
A group of aunts surrounded him, chattering and praising him.
This left Su Yu unsure of what to do for a moment.
"Aunties, I have a girlfriend." Seeing Lin Yanyu finally arrive, he quickly pulled Lin Yanyu to his side.
The latter was holding his phone, listening to his new song.
"Hello everyone, aunties, I am his girlfriend." Lin Yanyu saw that Su Yu was surrounded by a group of aunts and they were even trying to introduce girlfriends to him shortly after she had left.
She couldn't help but give him a meaningful glance.
"Cough cough... My mom has already gone to reserve seats, let's go quickly too." Su Yu hurriedly urged everyone.
Then, carrying the speaker and leading a group of aunts, he marched towards the square.
And that group of aunts stopped mentioning introducing partners after seeing Lin Yanyu.
Lin Yanyu was too beautiful and had a great temperament. How could anyone be introduced?
...
China has standardized management of square dancing, with unified management by associations and designated areas.
To avoid disturbing residents, there are designated spots for square dancing.
These squares are generally far from residential areas, and anyone can dance in the designated squares. However, dance troupes with profitable intentions are required to join the association and pay copyright fees.
This is a mature commercial chain. Although it cannot compare to the copyright fees of popular songs, it is still a lucrative industry.
However, this industry differs slightly from popular songs.
They don't care about the song quality; they only care if it's lively enough and rhythmic enough.
In the world of square dancing, the judgment of a song's quality is based on the love of these square dancing aunties. No matter how skilled you are or how high the song quality is, if the aunties don't like it and don't dance to it, it's useless. As long as it's loved by the aunties, even the most uncool or simple songs are good square dance songs.
This is the judging standard for square dancing.
As soon as Zhang Guizhi walked to their dancing corner.
The head of the large troupe there noticed her.
At this moment, the leader aunt hurried over.
"Yo, still not giving up?" She glanced at the speaker in Zhang Guizhi's hand, crossed her arms, and said sarcastically.
Her sharp and mean demeanor was so pronounced that she wouldn't need makeup if she were to play a villain on TV.
Zhang Guizhi ignored her and busied herself with the speaker.
Ever since Su Yu became a public figure, she had stopped arguing with others. Firstly, she was not that kind of person, and secondly, she was afraid of affecting Su Yu.
"Heh heh, is the square yours?" The aunt's mouth twitched. She couldn't stand this person's nagging.
"The square is not mine, but if you want to use Director Liu's song, we have to manage it." The leader aunt was like an administrator with little power but a bad temper, flying off the handle with any slight authority.
At this moment.
Su Yu walked over with a group of people.
"Are you done talking? If you are, then scram." Su Yu looked at the leader aunt expressionlessly.
Lin Yanyu tilted her head, looking at him in surprise.
In her impression, Su Yu had always been indifferent, rarely getting angry.
And now Lin Yanyu felt a faint anger from him.
"That's right, scram!" Su Xiaoling, with her childlike demeanor, put her hands on her hips and raised her little head.
"Oh my, Aunt Wu, do put away that petty look. We have our own songs, we don't need yours." An aunt behind Su Yu mocked.
"Look at you, acting so capable. You're just related to the square dancing association. We're dancing our own dance, why are you bothering us here?"
"Our Xiao Yu can write his own songs, and we're dancing to his songs, so scram."
Behind Su Yu, a group of aunties were chattering.
"You are Su Yu?" Aunt Wu exclaimed after seeing Su Yu clearly.
She knew Zhang Guizhi had a son who wrote songs, but she hadn't paid much attention.
Because the square dancing prodigy Liu Qiliang was also participating in the Ace City Competition.
She had also watched this show, but she watched the district where Liu Qiliang was.
Then, while chatting with friends, she heard that Zhang Guizhi's son was also participating in the city competition and had achieved good results.
"You're just a kid, what do you know about square dancing?"
Of course, she only said that.
She couldn't do anything to Su Yu and the others. If they were really using their songs, she would have no reason to stop them.
Therefore, she had to leave dejectedly.
She didn't go far and sat down not far away.
Judging by her expression, she was clearly not convinced and planned to pop out and mock them later.
"Xiao Yu, the speaker is ready, let's start."
At this time, Su Yu's mother Zhang Guizhi looked up and beckoned to Su Yu.
"Okay." Su Yu nodded, then glanced lightly at Aunt Wu, and walked towards Zhang Guizhi.
"Xiao Yu, we don't know how to dance your new song either..."
At this moment, Auntie discovered the most crucial problem.
They had a song, but no choreography. What to do?
"Don't worry, Auntie. I just choreographed a set. You can follow me, it's very simple."
Lin Yanyu suddenly appeared beside them. She had been listening to the song alone and choreographing a dance.
She had learned to dance since she was young, so creating a square dance routine was quite simple for her.
"Really?" Auntie was stunned for a moment. Seeing Lin Yanyu nod, she clapped her hands happily, "That's wonderful!"
When a top idol singer personally taught them square dancing, the group of aunties immediately showed radiant smiles upon hearing this.
"Haha, Gui Zhi, look how fortunate you are, with such a good son and daughter-in-law. If my daughter-in-law was half as sensible as Miss Lin, I'd wake up laughing in my sleep."
"My daughter is the same, she told me square dancing is uncool and embarrassing."
"My son also told me not to dance, but they don't know that we are old. Dancing not only exercises our bodies but also allows us to meet so many friends."
"That's right. They work away from home. How often do they come back to see us?"
"Hey, enough talk, let's dance."
The group of aunties cheered happily upon hearing this.
Then they took their positions as before.
Listening to their words, Su Yu stared blankly at his mother's back.
"Su Su, what are you spacing out for? Play the song quickly." Lin Yanyu saw Su Yu wasn't moving and quickly reminded him.
"Okay." Su Yu came back to his senses, connected his phone's Bluetooth to the speaker.
