S: I just want her to make others fall in love with her in the first second.
YX: You're asking someone who has never been on stage before to be a sensation right away. You are expecting too much. Can you become a director on your first day? Tell me, can you become a director on your first day? I admire you if you can. You can't use the standards of a professional, like us who have been in the industry for over ten years, to demand perfection from someone who has just started their career.
S: Our current goal is to let others like us, right?
YX: Our goal is to take Chinese music to the world. Everyone, everyone is just a vector under this grand vision. If you think you want that one look that can captivate you, let me tell you, all the kids have it. But where is that look supposed to be, where is the camera positioned? Please tell me. Please tell me, program director, where you want that moment to be. What you want in that moment is just the program director's 0.0001 second. I can tell the kids, "Just focus on that camera, and at that moment, the shot will come." Tell me first, who does the program director listen to? If you say the program director listens to me, I'll hold a meeting with them. If the girl group can't give you that feeling of being "captivated," then it's my problem.

The language of Scottish country dancing is universal, with likeminded friends around the world.
These dancers in 1984 enjoyed dancing in Japan, and we have many friendships today with dancers from this country and many others.
