Chapter 334: Gorgeous Tango

Knowing that Lin Xiujing likes tango, it was one of the reasons why Jin Jingcheng suddenly invited Lin Xiujing to dance, in his mind, as long as Lin Xiujing could dance a few simple tango steps, it was enough, because he could take her.

Many things in the world are not absolute.

Just as Lin Xiujing said that she can't dance, but in fact, she can dance a few simple tango steps, Jin Jingcheng can't dance, but he can still dance a dance, that is, the tango of "Por-Una-Cabeza".

Aside from the difficult hip-hop movements disguised by Jin Jingcheng with Chinese kung fu, this tango dance of "Por-Una-Cabeza" is the only dance that Jin Jingcheng can dance.

Because like Lin Xiujing, Jin Jingcheng also likes tango very much, and thinks that this is a very elegant and charming dance, women will look noble and beautiful when they dance tango, and men will look very gentlemanly and chic when they dance tango.

And "Por-Una-Cabeza" is Jin Jingcheng's favorite tango, the dance of "Por-Una-Cabeza", Jin Jingcheng deliberately learned, sometimes at night, when he felt bored after studying and working alone in the apartment, he would drink a little beer alone, and then gently dance the tango of "Por-Una-Cabeza" with music in the study.

After all, it is a typical Scorpio man, Jin Jingcheng is still a little fascinated by some small emotions in this personal life, and likes to find some romance and enjoyment for himself.

……

Kim Kyung-sung's song "The Last Choice" is adapted from this song "Por-Una-Cabeza".

Por-Una-Cabeza, is a Spanish word translated from Chinese as "One Step Away", in Spanish, it is originally a term for horse racing. It means "the length of a (horse) head", and in the song it is used to express regret for the intricate relationship between lovers.

This tango was composed by Carlos Gardel, known as the "uncrowned king of Argentine tango".

It's a long time ago, it was 1935.

At that time, the author had just broken up with his girlfriend and was very painful, so he gambled all the money on him on horses, and the horse he bought was the first horse. But at the last moment, he was overtaken by a second horse, and only a head ahead of the horse he bought.

The author's frustration and decadence at that time were indescribable, so he wrote this "Por-Una-Cabeza" in one go, which is translated into Chinese as "One Step Away", or "Only One Step Away".

Because some people say that the reason why this piece is called "Only One Step Away" is because if you dance tango with this song, you will always be short of the last step, which means that you will never dance enough.

This can be said to be the most classic tango in history, the most gorgeous and noble and moving tango song. Since its birth, its melody of rigidity and softness seems to adapt to the foreshadowing of each character's psychology in any scene, so much so that it later appeared in the soundtracks of many movies.

For example, "Schindler's List", "True Lies", "Smell and Know Women", "Untouchable", "One Step Away", "Durala's Promotion" and so on, there are dozens of them.

Kim Jingcheng remembers that later some Korean TV dramas and movies also used this song as soundtrack, such as the TV series "The Fragrance of Women" and "The Legend of the New Prostitute" and so on.

It can be said that "Por-Una-Cabeza" is the ultimate representative of Argentine tango music, and it is also the most familiar and deeply loved tango melody by music fans around the world.

In this tango. The violin leads the melody in a high-pitched and restrained manner, like a woman stepping on a tango dance. With noble steps and an attitude of pride, he is entangled in the desire and rejection of his partner, and the powerful key strokes of the piano before the arrival of the musical climax, as if taking a deep breath before the next spin, and then setting off. Go conquer the live banquets and dance floors.

This tango-style song, the form of ABAB, the inconsistencies and staggered styles of the two parts, fully demonstrates the tacit understanding between men and women in tango, and the passion after entering the B section pushes the emotions of the dancers and the audience to the highest point. Then it suddenly slows down and returns to the first note to close, which seems euphemistic and agitated, showing the delicacy of tango music.

……

When Jin Jingcheng finished saying that he wanted to dance tango with Lin Xiujing, there was a moment of silence at the scene.

Because everyone, including Shin Wanhyuk and Lee Hyungmin, was surprised, because they didn't expect Lin Xiujing to dance tango, let alone Jin Jingcheng's willingness to take the initiative to present a talent show on such an occasion.

Originally, although Shin Wanhyuk and Lee Hyungmin were instigating other people to perform impromptu performances, they subconsciously ignored Jin Jingcheng, naturally not really ignored, but because they all knew that Jin Jingcheng was deeply hidden, and he was not an ordinary artist at all, and even to a certain extent, Jin Jingcheng was more noble in their minds than the status of the representatives of the two large companies.

Under this premise, they naturally won't take the initiative to ask Jin Jingcheng to perform, so they will feel that they are a little rude.

Now that it's okay, Jin Jingcheng actually took the initiative to stand up, and he also pulled Lin Xiujing together.

After a moment of silence, there was immediately fierce applause at the scene, full of expectations for Jin Jingcheng and Lin Xiujing's dance, even if they didn't dance well, they were willing to dance on this occasion, which was a kind of beauty in itself.

Jin Jingcheng immediately greeted the live sound engineer.

Immediately, the ring sound of the banquet hall sounded "Por-Una-Cabeza".

In the sound of the music, Jin Jingcheng's body was close to Lin Xiujing, one hand hugged Lin Xiujing, and the other hand held Lin Xiujing's hand tightly.

As if there was a spirit in their hearts, along with the music, Jin Jingcheng and Lin Xiujing suddenly danced.

A static, suddenly becomes an elegantly captivating dynamic.

In the high-pitched and restrained sound of the violin and the keystrokes of the piano, Lin Xiujing stepped on the few tango dance steps she knew, and she was entangled in Jin Jingcheng's desire to welcome and refuse, or euphemism, or agitation.

Under the leadership of Jin Jingcheng, Lin Xiujing seems to have entered a wonderful dance realm, and the dance steps of the two people are coordinated, which looks gorgeous and elegant, enthusiastic and wild, and endlessly varied.

Some movements that Lin Xiujing couldn't do originally, such as cross steps, such as jumping and spinning, because of Jin Jingcheng's leadership and Jin Jingcheng's strength, Lin Xiujing also did it, which was dazzling.

In the end, Jin Jingcheng made a difficult move, picked up Lin Xiujing at once, surrounded her body with only one hand, and made several 360-degree rotations in a row, and finally threw Lin Xiujing up to catch it, and then set an elegant shape to finish, but Lin Xiujing's body did not feel any discomfort in the process.

At the end of a song, the melody in everyone's ears lingers, and listening to it will always be only one time.

At the end of the dance, the gorgeousness in the eyes of everyone lingers, and looking at it, it is always only one step away.

Everyone was stunned for a long time, and after a while, fierce applause and cheers broke out......

PS: I highly recommend listening to "Por-Una-Cabeza", if you are interested, you can watch a short paragraph at the beginning of the movie "Schindler's List", as well as a short paragraph at the end of "True Lies", both of which use this soundtrack, and both scenes are classics in the history of world cinema.
