(Where there are people,) (there is a Jianghu.) (People with dreams) (go through ups and downs in Jianghu.) (The reason why Wulin makes people yearn for it) (is that) (legends keep appearing in it.) Time to end this. (The undercurrent is surging,) (and storms are coming.) (Heroes of various sects gathered
in Golden House.) (There are wins and losses in battle.) (But not so for sharing.) (The show is about to begin.) Excuse me. Champion Ye. Champion Han. Champion Yang. I've heard a lot about you. Did you see it? Yes. More than one. Excuse me, please. You look good. Not bad. You look so sure of yourself. Pretty much so. If you miss me, just call. Why sent me a letter of challenge? I didn't. Is everyone here? Yes. Then let's get ready to make an appearance. It's been a long while. Captain Zhang, you really have made it big. Aren't you going to pay for it? The new captain. Looks like someone else is behind the scene. Seems like someone powerful. Too garish. Clamor in the east. Attack in the... Hi, everyone. I am the new captain, Henry Lau. Enlighten me, please. Henry, it's your first time participating
in a street dance show, right? A kind reminder. This show is particularly
physically demanding. You must be prepared. Brother Geng, you don't have to scare him. In our place, there is nothing that battle can't solve. If there is, just keep battling. Brother Geng. You don't have to prove your capability anymore. LAY, we are also old friends. YiBo, you have won the championship. Please don't be... too hard on me. Can't give you the coriander. Okay, calm down. Harmony brings wealth. Since we are all here, let's have a drink together. Which street dance competition is the best? The new overthrows the old. The new. Seems that everyone has come prepared. Let me make a toast first to set an example for you juniors. YiBo. It's our turn. Enlighten me, please. -Someone...
-Played dirty. Not me! Since I'm new here, I'd like to pay my respects. Who was it? Whoever comes is a guest. You and your friends, why not stay for a drink? So many people. The letter of challenge has been made. Everyone, enlighten me, please. It will be quite fun. I shall sleep for a while. Whoever comes is a guest. Let's eat first. (Welcome to) (the Street Dance of China) (Season 4.) Well, we'll start with a hot pot. Well, the competition hasn't started yet and we just start to have a hot pot? (Welcome to the Street Dance of China...) (Season 2.) (Audition of Season 3.) Anyway, we're already here, so we should just enjoy it. No matter what will happen is going to happen after all. Come on, let's take a seat. They've already prepared it for us, so let's just enjoy it. Seriously? Come on. Let's just start. We can take the chance to have dinner. Come on, have a taste. It's kind of a benefit for us? Brother, how about you arrange our seats? Come on, you may sit anywhere as you wish. Let's sit according to the doors. Then we can sit beneath our own logos. Busy with your work? Yeah, busy. All busy? How about you? Do you feel good? Here is him. Welcome. Brother. Take a seat. Doesn't this show have a very tense vibe? I have no idea. It's my third time attending the show, but it's the first time to have a hot pot
at the beginning of the show. Are these real food? I think it's eatable. You sure? Yeah, of course. Really? Come on, let's enjoy ourselves. I'm just a bit afraid. Although they've prepared the hot pot, it might not be a real benefit for us. Would they be so good to us? Are these fake foods? Have a try. It's eatable. What I was thinking was there wouldn't be a big trap. Maybe it's because we don't need to
dance at the beginning and they prepared those things for us as a benefit for us. I really like the ice cream. The microphone keeps getting into my mouth. Is this bean jelly? What's this? Bean jelly. Brother, would you like some bean jelly? Bean jelly? What would you like? Red bean? A bit of each maybe. Want to have some? It scared me! What's going on? GOGO Brothers. Brother, look. Over there. Is he French? French? Yeah, he's French. Cool. Awesome. I remember him. He's Han Yu. Han Yu, yeah. And he's David. Right. So cool. Hello, everyone. Welcome to the recording scene of the Street Dance of China S4. Welcome! Welcome our four captains! Welcome our former contestants back! In the Street Dance of China S4, we also welcome new international contestants. You're all here. Nice to meet you again. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, in Japan, such kinds of events are all forbidden. While in China, there is still such kind of show where dancers can join together, which I think is a rare opportunity. Although it's not Olympic games, all dancing experts all over the world are gathering here, which makes it more attractive to me. Welcome back to the Street Dance of China S4. Welcome to the Street Dance of China S4. Welcome to the Street Dance of China. I know that you guys are not like me. Not everyone can speak several languages. But you can still say hi or something to our contestants. Hello. Hello, everyone. Hello. Hello, everyone. I'm one of the captains in S1 and S2. In S3, I was absent, while now I've come back home in S4 to meet you guys. I'm Han Geng. Nice to meet you, I'm Wang YiBo. Hello, everyone, I'm Wang YiBo. Hello, everyone, I'm LAY Zhang. Henry. Our new captain, Henry Lau. Henry. Hello, everyone, I'm Henry. I'm the new captain this time in S4. And first of all, it's amazing to be here. Really. Because I've never seen a place filled with so many excellent dancers. Really awesome. What's important is that we'll have fun while we're doing this and I look forward to all your performances. Let's go! Hello, everyone. I'm Henry Lau. How are you? This year, we have many old friends and also many new friends from all over the world here. This year's match system is totally different from the previous years. Oh my! No good things will happen. I just know Street Dance of China and the staff too well. Things won't be so easy. I'm sure they will play tricks on us. Not only the contestants will be checked, but also the captains. About the rules of the match, we referred to the method in Chinese chess. Chinese chess. It can be tricky like Tian Ji's Horse Racing. Here, I have four necklaces standing for the King. They are for our four captains. Captains, please take over
your position as the King. This is too small to wear. Are you all done? Yes. My head is big. Do you need my help? Let me help you. It can be unlocked. Come on. Wear my lovely little thing. Thank you. I hung it here. Look at him. How clever! Yes. There are also necklaces standing for different characters like Rook, Knight, Cannon, Bishop, and Guard in my hands. These necklaces need to be awarded
by the captains. Captains need to select the
suitable team members to participate in many rounds of battles,
including the one versus one, two versus two, three-on-three, and five-on-five
battles afterwards. Besides, the captains will lead the team members in the Kings' battle. So here is the test about captains' strategies and plots of how to array the personnel
and deploy the formation. The show was always putting pressure on you. When I first came to this program of Street Dance of China, they wanted us to choose people diagonally. Now you want me to decide the method. I will still use the same way, right? What if it doesn't work again? No need to be afraid. It's just a very good opportunity to communicate. I watched the previous shows and I watched them very carefully to prepare for this. However, when I finally came afterwards, many rules have changed. So how do we allocate the contestants
to the four captains? We will decide through a very popular way. Drawing mystery boxes. Like this. We will be contained in small boxes like this. Close the boxes and then open them and see us from here. We made a 1:1 highly simulated toy figure of all the contestants in this season. Really? Is there a model figure inside? Yes. Mystery boxes. Haven't you bought it before? They are those with very cute looks and there is a card inside the box. Like A Wei's haircut? Just like this. Okay. The one you draw will participate in the battle
for the central position on behalf of you. Got it. I think it's quite fair. Putting four contestants with close capacity in the same round and letting the captains draw from them is a fair way. Four captains, have you ever played the game before? No. It's my first time. I just did it in this program. Definitely I haven't. If I like some toys or figurines, I will buy it myself. Buying directly. Great! Brother Geng, cool！ However, for some things, we can't get them with money. We can only manage them relying on fortune and this is the charm of mystery boxes. Here I want to remind you all. Captains need to draw mystery boxes to choose the contestants in their camps. So, in order to let the captains
get the team member they prefer, we offered each captain a chance to lock one contestant. They can use this privilege at critical moments. Next, let's start drawing the mystery boxes. Reminder again to the captains. You can use the provided privilege to lock someone in the round needed. Okay, if you are brave enough, go battle! Captains, get ready. Do I need to tell you now? Now? You don't know the contestants now. If he is not chosen by more than one captain, he will enter into your team smoothly. But this opportunity can be used only once. The first group. We have four mystery boxes to choose from. The four contestants all do popping. They are Stone. Mr. Stone has won the champion of KOD popping. His improvised dance battle
Grasshopper's Club Broken Heart was the most known work in the first season. Jr. taco. Jr. taco is the world champion of the Japanese Black Jam match. He's one of the minorities of Chinese dancers that have recorded excellent grades on the world stage like China, Japan, and France. Poppin C. Poppin C is the champion of French JD Global Final of the International
Street Dance Contest. Global champion in popping. He almost won every match from 2016 to 2019. Respect. And ACKY from Japan. He is a top-notch dancer in Japan who has danced for twenty-six years. He won seven successive champions in the International Street Dance
Event in Japan, OSN (Event), Popping One-on-one Battle. And he won Routine Event in Japan JDD (Event) for three times. ACKY. Arguably, I love popping so much because of ACKY. He is our idol. When I saw him in the arena, I was so excited. Could I take this opportunity to show respect to my teacher? It's a great honor. Could I shake hands with him? Of course. It's really a big honor to be with you. Thank you. It's really an honor for me. I also want to thank the crew for giving me this opportunity. Bravo. So Henry, are you going to choose him? Can I? Yes, you can. Can I? I can do this in the first round? Yes. But you only got one opportunity. These four guys are whom your four captains are going to draw for. Is there anyone who wants to use
the privilege to lock someone? It's too difficult. You give them the temptation
from the very beginning. It's very hard to choose from them. Countdown. Five, four, three, two. I want to use the privilege. Do you want to use it? We're thinking about it. If I choose someone, I will use up the opportunity. Then I can't choose the others. Two. One. I want to use the privilege. How could you decide so quickly? Every captain only has one card. Doesn't he want to see the other contestants later? Maybe he doesn't know the tricks of the show since he takes part in it for the first time. Maybe he's been deceived. Tell me who you want to choose. He used the privilege in the first round. Let's pick out the mystery box where there is a PVC figure
of whom Henry is going to choose. Give it to you to open it. He will choose one of you four guys with his card. He himself doesn't know what it is inside either. Yeah. It's really a mystery box. We don't know either. OK. Henry, that one contains the PVC figure
of whom you want to choose. Who is it? It looks very much like him. The one Henry chooses is Poppin C. He chooses Poppin C? Isn't he going to choose ACKY? Don't you want to choose that guy? No. He's my idol. I want to choose another guy. He just showed respect to his idol. Hello, ACKY. But he seems to want to dance with his friend. Captain Wang YiBo, draw for your teammate. ACKY. The one Captain LAY Zhang has drawn is Mr. Stone. Stone. Jr. taco. Jr. taco, it doesn't look like you. So cute. When I saw every dancer's PVC figures, I thought the program team's idea is awesome. Next group. All of them know our program because of one of our trainees. They're all from France. First, our Bouboo. You have seen his excellent performance in the last season. I believe there's no need to tell you how amazing he is. The "god of war" of the new generation is our Zyko. He's the master of the spatial form of Hiphop. The first player to use the
geometric space skillfully. Rochka. There's an event called Fusion Concept. The one who won that contest must be definitely an all-around person. Anissa. She has been the judge of Fusion Concept (Event) for two years. Even the judge is here. Do you want to use your cards
to choose your teammates? Captain Henry, you don't have the privilege now. Eager to choose someone. Is there anyone who wants to use the privilege
to choose your teammates? Three, two, one. Captain YiBo. YiBo, choose someone. Bouboo. Because a lot of good dancers are here this year, maybe it'll take twice time
before choosing someone. After last year, last season, and this season, I think I have a deeper connection with Yibo. Captain Han Geng. Only three are left. Why are you "crippled"? Zyko. Anissa. Rochka. The next group is a duo group. They are Tao Tao and Cici. Tao Tao and Cici are the champions of the three-person dance in the 2019 HHI (Event) World Hip Hop Dance Championship of China. They also played a duo dance called Wedding at Street Dance of China S3, which received many praises. KELO and UWA from Japan, are a group of master and apprentice. KELO, a craftsman-level choreographer focuses on popping and cool street dance. UWA is a super young girl with diverse dance styles. And Group HB (YOU and ZIN). Group HB (YOU and ZIN) was the 2004 champion of Japanese Dance Delight (Event). They are the first-class dance group, which is popular in over 30 countries and believed to be a legend of locking. The last group is GOGO Brothers (REI and YUU). GOGO Brothers(REI and YUU) ever danced with Michael Jackson, the towering singer king in the world. In the 2006 British UK B-BOY Champion SHIP (Event), they were the world champion of locking and believed to be the top locking group on earth. You know... GOGO Brothers(REI and YUU) and Group HB (YOU and ZIN) are the groups, which are the best locking groups on earth. Will you use it? There are two captains who still have the cards. You have to use the privilege in this round. Both of them want to use it. They must want to choose the same group. You two choose the same group, GOGO Brothers. I also saw their dance videos and contests. Their dances are really cool and feasts for my eyes. I exactly want to have GOGO Brothers in my section as I want to study their balance with them. I'd like to ask GOGO Brothers to spin the bottle to make a decision. It's a good idea. Inversing to choose their captains. Hello. Let's go. Let's go. It spins to Captain LAY Zhang. Thank you. Fate sky and beautiful dreams are changed thanks to GOGO Brothers. I will go with this one. OK. Yes. Wang YiBo gets Group HB. Why is he so lucky? Yeah. Group HB. UWA. Cici. The next group... Mr. C-Lil. C-Lil is the champion of breaking battle in the 2016 French WSD (Event), a world street dance game. He is also the world record holder of one-handed five-spin Airflare. Breaking boy, George. Bo Zi. Xiao Jie. ibuki is the world champion of freestyle in the Dance&live (Event) finals. She is called the Champion Harvester
and an all-around dancer. Yes. AC. AC is the world champion of 2018 KOD (Event) Waacking. Huang Xiao. BRANDON. Liang Liang, Brother Liang. Mr Three. Daswitch. MT-POP. MT-POP is called the Asian
geometric dance representation. He was the champion of the 2018 Canadian
international dance game. LAY Zhang's team is a little bit strong. The next group are those with their atmospheres, which are also our special mystery boxes. They are all great choreographers. They are Eleven, BUNTA, Kun, and Wang Run. Four of them will show their team dances for us and we can make choices after their performances. Let's watch shows. First, let's welcome BUNTA. They are coming. Let's watch shows. Hello, everyone. Cheer up. We are the "Little Kids" Alliance. Thank you. I'm from Japan. Say your name BUNTA and then clap your hands. Yes, BUNTA. What do you mean? Just once is OK. Once? Yes, once is OK. BUNTA. I ever took part in local dance games in Niigata, Japan, a small place. I want to communicate with global dancers through the show and dances, so I decided to participate in the show. Dance for peace. Their team is amazing. Cool. Bravo. I get goosebumps all over me. The second group is Eleven. Eleven. RMB THE ONE (Dance Troupe). Hello, everyone. I am Eleven from RMB Crew (Dance Troupe). There are ten guys on the stage and I'm eleven. Come on, Eleven! Come on! Cool. Very cool. I like this show. I like it very much. Next group. Let's welcome Kun. Hello, everyone. I am Kun. I like dancing. How cool they are! Let's welcome the last one of this group, Wang Run. Hello, four captains. I am the captain of Sohana (Dance Troupe). My name is Wang Run. They are very outstanding. They are really outstanding. Is that so? Let's see it. Wonderful. I have known Wang Run a long time before. Her style, works, and strengths are very great. Four Captains. Who had left you a deep impression to you after these four performances? Everyone. Everyone is great. Wonderful. Ah... Great. Chinese dancers are great. Japanese dancers are great, too. All of them are great. I like them all. BUNTA. Yes. Kun. Wang Run. Can't help it. This is fate. Eleven. I say this is fate. How lucky you are! The last group. Wow. Their group name is "yyds". Han Yu is the champion of Street Dance of China S1. Street Dance of China, the champion is Han Yu! David is the champion of Season 2. Street Dance of China Season 2. The new champion is David! Keven is the champion of Street Dance of China S3. Street Dance of China S3. The new champion is Keven! There is only No.1 on his resume. In 2010, 2016, and 2018, he is the popping champion of France JD (Event) Street Dance World Championship, and he is the first grand slam of popping in the world. He is the king of popping, Nelson! Besides that, he is also the champion of freestyle. Is he a god? Keep it up, Keven! How am I supposed to keep it up? There is a champion benefit of the last group, the champion group. But since Brother Geng still has his privilege left to be used, so now you can choose to use yours or give it up. Don't be kidding. So do you want to use it? Yes, I do. I will choose the champion of Street Dance of China S4. It gives me a headache now. Anyway, I am the only one who still
has that privilege. So I'm in charge of this. I can choose anyone I like. Right. He is really calm. An old ox makes a straight furrow. As the champions of the past Street Dance of China Seasons, they can select the captain reversely this time. When I got the chance of choosing, I would feel great. I'd choose Captain YiBo definitely. I have nothing to do, right? Yes. Come to my team. Let's welcome Han Yu first. I wouldn't have thought that they will let us select the section (label) you like reversely. The program team is really creative. Come on, Han Yu. Han Yu may choose Yibo. How do you know that? I guess so. What is Han Yu's choice? Henry Lau. Because relatively speaking, who I know the least about the level of dance is Captain Henry Lau among the four captains. It is the curiosity that drove me to have some communication with him. The next one is David. Think it clearly. Your steps seem like you haven't made up your mind. My seniors, YOU and Zin, are both in Yibo's section(label). So I really hope I can have some cooperation with them in the show as soon as possible. So I chose to follow their steps firmly. I saw him walk to Captain Yibo step by step. There are only three words in my mind. Is it fate? Last one, Keven. This is the end of today's selection. Now, I am going to announce the competition system of the Street Fight Global Elite Challenge. According to the matchups
determined by drawing, in the first half, Wang YiBo's label section will be battling against LAY Zhang's label section. Han Geng's label section will be battling against Henry Lau's label section. In the second half, Wang YiBo's label section will be battling against Han Geng's label section, LAY Zhang's label section will be battling against Henry Lau's label section. (In the Label Battle,) (the captains will select 10
contestants from them all) (and split them into the first half
and the second half.) (The contestants in battle can not coincide.) (You need to assign different
necklaces to contestants) (that they suit most.) (In two-on-two dance techniques battle,) (they'll wear necklaces that are Bishop and Guard.) (In three-on-three battles,) (they'll wear necklaces that are
Rook, Knight, and Cannon.) (The five contestants,) (who will attend routine choreography duel,) (will wear necklaces that are Soldiers.) The game applies one-on-one battles, two-on-two routine battles, three-on-three battles, and five-on-five time-limited
choreography battles. The section captain who takes two points will start
the King Battle immediately. The King Battle applies that the captain chooses one
contestant from the section to take the two-on-two routine battle. They'll need to cooperate with
the section contestant. The rounds and form of the battle will be decided after the captains of the two teams discuss. There are five rounds at most. The section that takes three points first wins. You will have one day to prepare. As long as we have time. The section round is about to start. Captains, please hurry to learn the edges of the section. The gate of the label will open. Three. Two. One. Let's go! Come on! Let's go! Come on! Go! Awesome! I think that the setting is No.1 in the world. I quite like it, which is a temple architectural style. It looks so Chinese. And it's so red, so beautiful. I love it. It's just like a stage for battle. It's getting real. Hey, looking good, bro, looking good. It's street style. Personally, I really like it that is set with skateboards. Like a stage especially for me. This space is pretty good. I get a feeling of coming home. It's quite a cyberpunk and a little futuristic. This is wonderful. Nice. A giant tree is good for shade. The tree represents Han Geng, does it? He's like a root of an old tree
(*"Geng" sounds like "root" in Chinese) that anchors right there. It means captain. And in our space, there is some snow on its left-side ground. It represents cold.
(*"Han" sounds like "cold" in Chinese) Considering them both, I guess it's Captain Han Geng's space. Han Geng. Will that door be closed? Yes. Close it. Abracadabra. It won't. It didn't work for your sake. It won't close. Let's close it together. Come on! We are a team, okay? We can close it. Wait a bit, it will close. Oh, it will close. Sorry, we are... It's quite slippery. The ground is really slippery. Do you know why? Because I'm Henry, the Slippery.
(*His name's last word sounds like "slippery" in Chinese) It's too stock. Okay. Hi, everyone. Welcome to my team. For me, the most important thing is that you all should relax. So now, you all just relax. OK. Just sit, okay? I know your feet hurt. And if you guys need anything,
like you guys need interpreting. I'm not very good at any language, actually. But I'll try my best. OK, thank you. So, there is English. Wait, are you from Russia? Russia. How you doing? Fine, like usual. How do you feel? Great. My violin teacher was Russian. Alright. We don't have Japanese here, right? Yes, we have. I am. Feeling good? Very good. Great! Thanks. Great. Maybe you speak French? French? Yeah. Not so good. That's good. -Hi.
-Hi. I'm Henry Lau. Yeah. I'm a little tired. A little. A little tired. Exactly. Yes. Awesome! Come here, guys. Hi, everyone. Hi! And... (What he's trying to say is...) (Nice to meet you.) (What he's trying to say is...) (Nice to meet you too.) (And what they actually said are...) -Wow.
-Wow. We have people from France, Italy, Laos, Vietnam, Japan, and Australia. It's quite challenging. I think... I think you need to keep this when broadcasting the show. Why did I ask only a few questions? Because we have language barriers. It's not my problem. (It's so awkward.) (What should I do?) (Waiting for a solution urgently.) (So I figured out a way to break the ice.) (First, I have to say something.) This is a Chinese greeting, right? OK, yeah. For men, maybe, left hand and right hand. For women, is this. They are the opposite. Yes. Hello. I hope you guys like this. This is for girls. And this is for boys. Thank you. I taught them the lesson of making friends from all over the world. Maybe everyone has seen a lot about this. Master. It looks like this, right? Come on. DJ, please give us a simple Cypher. If you guys want to dance, you can come out and warm up. Awesome. It's very nice. Just warm up. Yeah. Then we will make friends when dancing and let's have fun. Awesome. Isn't it a warm-up? This is just a warm-up. So cool! I'm about to cry. So cool! (Actually, it was Captain LAY Zhang
who invited them) (and said that everyone) (can engage into the Cypher.) (Just relax.) (It also allowed them) (to warm up, get ready,) (and ease their nerves) a little bit. I like Cypher. I'm surprised. I didn't know LAY is a good dancer too. He shows his passion, his energy, and his leadership as a captain. So I think everyone will feel like "wow". I'm a little nervous. It's getting nervous again. I'm nervous too. OK, everybody. So who shall be the first one to dance? This time, all the contestants are "the legend", so there is no need to pave the way. We can start directly. And I can't wait to see their performances. So who wants to be the first one? Bouboo. Bouboo, come on, Bouboo. Bouboo. (Bouboo was the first to perform on stage.) (What did you expect from him?) I want to see if he's changed after such a long time. He has lived in China for so long. This time, you brought all your French friends here. Will you feel confident if you have to battle against them? It's okay, easy. Bouboo. Come on. DJ A'Long, drop the beat. Bouboo. Actually, his performance was quite surprising. His performance is incorporated with
Chinese elements. Dance of the Golden Snake. Everybody knows this song. It was also because of his participation
in the last season, so many foreign dancers can know our show this season. This year, I'm sure more people will know Street Dance of China and see the progress Chinese dancers have made. Now that you're here, talk more. Brother Liang. Where do you two want to be in two-on-two battles and in three-on-three battles? I'm fine with everything. Yeah? OK. Let's start the battle then. They're two of the best Hiphop dancers on my street. I just want to see what their
dance communication would look like. It's going to be a nice battle. DJ A'Long, drop the beat. OK, one more round. Come on, let's go! Bouboo. You should come. This is the real battle. Bouboo. Five, four, three, two, one. That's awesome. After watching the battle between them, I feel more confident in the three-on-three formation and something like strength. So which side are we dancing to? Don't dance yet. Don't dance now. Why do you have to make yourself so tired? Please sit down. Are we sitting on this? OK. Since he asked us to sit down, then we shall sit. Here. Together. I'm very happy this time. Really. I get to meet a lot of old friends and some new friends as well. Fate brings people together. (We all say he is the big brother.) (This is his style.) (A tea party.) (When your supervisor is talking to you...) How have you been? Just the same. I see you every day. I haven't seen you for two years. It's true. Two years. There's still time to choreograph
the dance together. So today, I just want you guys to take it easy. I don't know why when I saw him, I feel like he is a very natural and simple man. I can feel it very strongly. So I'm happy to be on his team. Well, since many of you are new here and are not familiar with each other. So introduce yourselves first, please. Shall we start from here? OK. I am Nelson. I'm a popping dancer, but also like an all-style dancer. Can you speak Chinese? Hello. Thank you. Thanks for your hard work. Definitely. Not bad! It feels like a completely
different atmosphere. It's like we're having a class reunion. Then everyone started chatting and introduced what they did during these times and what they were doing. I think this is also the feeling that an old captain brings to us on this stage, like a friend and family. Hello. Everyone. My name is Xiao Jie. My English name is Locking Jie. I'm 36 years old. I am the superstar of the world locking dance. These are my old friends and these are new friends. Thank you, everyone. Amazing. Welcome to China! I'm so happy. Wish you guys can be happy too. Everyone is happy. Thank you. What happened? He really is a funny guy. It was very leisurely and relaxing. Everyone feels like they came back here to have fun. Everyone is relaxing to the extreme and feeling like they're at home. It's creepy. It was so good. It's incredible. The dancers I randomly picked this time are excellent. However, the moment you froze in the air has surprised us. This is wonderful. Are your bones okay? Come on. Let me take a look. Check it. Are you sure your bones are fine? It's so easy. I think coming to this show is the right choice. I can see such a great dancer at such a close distance. You can do it! Come on. Go! Go! Go! So amazing! Awesome! It's great! Really amazing. Next one. Poppin C. Poppin C. I heard you speak Chinese. A little bit. It sounded very good. No. I'll try. Okay. Hello. I am Poppin C. I come from Switzerland and Italy. I have practiced popping for eleven years. He sounds like rapping. You sound like rapping. Really? Right! Say that again. I am Poppin C. I come from Switzerland. I have practiced popping for eleven years. The first time I watched him dance was in the finals of the WIB Competition. I felt the stage was vibrating. His pop is crazy. The first time I saw it, I was terrified. And I still have a certain distance from that stage. He did a pop and I felt the stage was shaking. Like "bang" and did a pop. It felt so scary at that time. Alright. Are you ready? Let's go. It's really an honor that I can see this in person. Let's pop. The floor will be shaking when he dances. His realism. See? The vibration is making his shoes slip. It's slippery. That's great! He is the best dancer here, in my opinion. Hearing that music allows me to hear some sounds that I have not heard before. You make me see sounds. Yeah. With your body. I think you're an amazing, amazing dancer! Thank you. It's fascinating. Actually, before I came here, I had been practicing popping. Then Poppin C will pop every day. He does live streaming. I watched him do pop live streaming for about half an hour. He's been practicing. So he is a teacher to me. He was outstanding already before. Suddenly, I came to the scene and he is standing in front of me. It really surprised me. So it's really amazing. Alright. Mr Three. My feet are so cold. Can I start first? Yes, let's go. Mr Three. Will the floor be too slippery? It's okay. What kind of dance are you dancing? Popping. Then the floor can't be too slippery. Where is the rosin powder? Behind? It's okay, I don't move my feet much. I use my hands. I still want to do this. Wait a moment. So thoughtful! Nice! Magician LeBron James. A foot-dance artist. Now he's doing toes moves, not fingers. Great new moves! I have seen a lot of finger moves, some details, like a spider, wave and electric. I have never seen a foot edition. It's called toes? Toe tutting. Can you show us again? How did you... It was so quick. That's really fascinating. Mr Three is tired of finger tutting,
now doing toe tutting. As tutting mostly uses your hands, I have seen a lot, yet I have never seen toe tutting. It was really awesome and creative. Remember to massage your feet. Right, I need to stretch them. Okay, well done. Alright, who's next? Who wants to go next? Han Yu. Go, go, go! I have seen a lot of your performances. Han Yu, wow. He's really impressive. Many dance artists are like, good at one genre. Han Yu is amazing because
he masters every genre. He can do popping. He can do Hiphop. and locking too. In battle, it's a pretty powerful style because he's good at any style. This is a locking style dance. Tap dancing. Well done! It feels so different when I see you on stage instead of on the screen. Really quick. Cool. I have never imagined a place like here. Most of the time, attending a TV program, a concert, or anywhere else, you will see two or three artists that are in the top rank of the world at most. But now, the top dance artists are all here, all on the same stage. For me, it's miraculous and out of imagination. I have an idea. As the five-on-five battle is a routine one, we need to select people first, so we'll have more time to choreograph. Then we can do it. We should select two main choreographers first. Right. OK. Brother Geng looks so chilled, yet he is assertive. He had it all figured out. We start with choreographers. They dance first. After performing, we all elected the two most important choreographers. They will choreograph in a five-on-five battle. Then others perform. The main choreographers will observe and select. I think he is an elder and wise man. OK, Huang Xiao is the first. Come on. You can do it. Let's go. Our dance today will tell a short story. And we're going to have a lot of moves, so I hope you'll give us a little more space. Can you move a little bit to the side? Legend of the White Snake. Perfect. Oh my god. Isn't that supposed to be a final performance? This is just the beginning. Can you not show everything you've got? Alright. We can tell the moment we see it that this is the story of
Madame White Snake and Xu Xian. So you can tell the story to your new friends. Our dance presents a classic episode of the origin
of the white snake. This is the scene that they just met by the West Lake. Right. At last, they gave me the umbrella. It may also be like this tree, which can be seen as a marriage tree. It's the feeling of forging
a romantic relationship. That's awesome. Did you understand the choreography? I think I understand the meaning, but I'm not sure. But I understand the relationship
between that guy and the two girls who are around him. I appreciate it. Because the dance was good. And the way they move was good. Everything was very tight and very precise. To me, it was like a high level of technique. (They may not know much) (about Chinese culture.) They may only learn (about Chinese culture) (from the news or on the Internet.) (Sometimes you tell him a little bit,) (he may be curious about it.) In fact, if they are exposed to Chinese culture, I believe they will fall in love with China. Let's go. Chinese song. Is this Chinese? Chinese song. His (moves) are so smooth. Oh my god. Why did you choose such a Chinese song? I really like that feeling, so I decided to show you my style on the song that you all know. I really like the feeling of this song, so I chose the song for the first performance and shared it with you. (I chose this Chinese song) (because I really like it) (and enjoy the special feeling of this song.) (I haven't heard too many Chinese songs,) but I like Chinese songs and Chinese culture. It is also the first time that I've seen someone dancing to
this kind of music in this way. Amazing. It's my pleasure. There are too many "legends" on our street. They're all "iron beefcake".
