Chapter 124: What to skate next season?

"This season is over, what should I skate next season? Yuuri—do you have an idea?"

At lunch before the start of the performance skating, Victor suddenly said this.

Yuuri put the pancake into his mouth, and replied leisurely: "Yes."

Eh?Really?

Yakov, Nastya, Polina, Oleg and others all looked over. This time, the children did well. Leg took the bronze medal, but without exception, they all had no idea about the next season of the show, but Yuuri had already had inspiration.

Yakov asked Yuuri to listen, as a coach, he must understand his disciples' thoughts on the program.

Yuuri blinked his eyes: "Lyudmila, the choreographer of my short program this season has already talked to me about the next season's program, and it happened that I played "Bach in G Minor" during piano practice a while ago, and I think The melody is very beautiful, so after the music is cut, I will ask her to help me compose this piece."

"Piano music?"

Yakov pondered, he knew that Yuuri had a piano background, just like Victor knew how to play the violin (he still reported interest classes), obviously, being good at a certain instrument also made Yuuri prefer piano music when selecting songs , For example, his free skating "Moonlight" this year is also a piano piece, and this kid's sense of music and understanding of the program is always amazing.

As the head coach of figure skating in St. Petersburg who is busy and has many disciples under his command, Yakov would also like to see his students be more assertive and independent in music selection and training, so he expressed his support.

"Then you should try it first. After the music is finished, let me listen to it first. Have you found someone who arranges the music?"

Yuuri replied relaxedly: "You don't need to find someone, I'll do it myself."

Yakov glared at him angrily: "Are you coming? Don't be brave, if you don't know who to look for, just tell me. The sports center has familiar choreographers, and their music editing is very good. You can also find a professional composer. "

Yuuri said: "No problem, I have cut a lot of songs, Cathy performed skating in Yancheng, and my songs last season and this season are all cut by myself, Cathy specially taught me these, said the players I am the one who knows the soundtrack of the show best, since I have music skills, I can also use editing software, and I can do these by myself."

The music of the previous shows was cut by himself?

Yakov thought of Yuuri's soundtrack from last season and this season, as well as Katharina's hot Cantonese song mix when performing skating in Yancheng, and found that the quality was very good, especially the "Mother's Journey" inserted in "Roju". " and the step-by-step match were amazing, and he didn't realize that the music was actually cut by a child.

Since Yuuri ordered this skill himself, let him toss it by himself, Yakov only asked Yuuri to remember to bring the tune over for him to check.

"What about the free skating? Do you have any ideas?"

Yuuri thought for a while, then nodded: "Well, I watched the movie "Schindler's List" recently, and I want to skate this theme. I will contact Jimmy when I go back."

Jimmy was his free skating choreographer this season, Yuuri trusted his ability, and the reason for skating "Schindler's List" was even simpler.

When Mr. Gua led people through the space, there was a scene where the clue was "Schindler Girl". In that scene, he was on the plane that was about to be shot down as soon as he entered, and had to do an extreme skydive.

Hearing Jimmy's name, the corners of the mouths of the rest of the table twitched, and they couldn't help but think of the good thing about Yuuri's fancy way of ruining the big brother's introduction of his girlfriend, not to mention a fake invitation to lure him to the United States, and their unlucky The eldest brother has now entered the palace of marriage with his boyfriend who is 1.9 meters tall and wears a wedding dress.

So after knowing who Yuuri's free skating choreographer is, everyone is not surprised, after all, they already know that Yuuri and Jimmy are together.

Yakov felt a headache when he heard his son-in-law's name. He rested his forehead and sighed, thinking that the youngest was not a carefree and honest child.

"Schindler's List" is also a very deep theme... But since Yuuri can perform "Zhivago", let him try it for the time being.

He coughed: "You don't need to find someone else for free skating, you can find Lilia after you go back."

This means... Lilia is going to choreograph Yuuri?

Yuuri asked in surprise: "Really? Can I go to Teacher Lilia?"

Lilia has become a first-line choreographer since she made the first program for Yakov, and there are often classic programs after that. Many contestants (mainly St. Petersburg department) have their masterpieces come from her, which can be called a choreographer. Ottilia, Victor's favorite choreographer, is considered a front-line choreographer, but his position in the industry is far lower than Lilia's.

Even if Anfisa and Yuuri mentioned that when Lilia becomes strict with a certain Yakov student, it means that this is a child she likes, and when someone is promoted to the adult group, she can try to ask Lilia for it. Choreographer, but Yuuri never thought that he would have this opportunity before he was promoted to the junior division.

Nastya and Victor were also surprised, because apart from the time when Yakov first started as a coach, Lilia choreographed dances for two young contestants in the youth group in order to support her husband's career. The group of contestants choreographed.

Obviously, she made an exception this time.

Yakov waved his hand: "Lilia brought this up to me on her own initiative, you should communicate with her yourself, if you can't satisfy her, she won't let you compete with her choreography, come on. "

Yuuri replied firmly and confidently: "I will definitely satisfy Teacher Lilia!"

Seeing his expression, Yakov also heaved a sigh of relief. Lilia's personality is very strict, and she used to bring great pressure to some young players, but Yuuri seems to get along well with Lilia, and even made Lilia decide to train him. He's the chief for the season, so let them be.

Yakov is also very optimistic about the young disciple, and has expectations for him to reach the top of the world in the future.

Then Victor also snapped his fingers at this time: "So Yuuri's free skating was inspired by a movie? This is really a good direction. I also watched a movie recently, and the soundtrack in it is very atmospheric."

Everyone looked at Victor, and Yakov asked, "What movie's soundtrack?"

Victor grinned: "It's the composition of Alam Ilyich Khachaturian, the composer who wrote "Saber Dance" and "Gayane". How about Nikolai?"

puff!

Yuuri spat out a mouthful of juice, coughed and wiped his face with a handkerchief, saying sorry.

Victor blinked at Yuuri: "Oh, it seems that Yuuri already knows which movie I'm watching, and Yuuri is not an honest boy."

Yuuri glared at him angrily, and Yakov looked at the two disciples suspiciously: "What movie is it? Yuuri, what's your reaction?"

Yuuri looked away in embarrassment: "Uh, Yakov, I want to explain, I didn't watch this movie voluntarily, it's just that Katharina was curious about that movie before, so she got the DVD, and I just watched it. "

Victor laughed out loud. With the old coach's puzzled expression on his face, he explained: "It's the soundtrack from Khachaturian's "Spartacus", but it's also in the movie "Roman Empire Erotica"."

Oleg hissed, and looked at the two juniors in disbelief: "Hey, that's one of the top ten banned movies in the world! Forget about Yuuri, Victor, where did you find the resources?"

If it weren't for Yakov's presence, he would have said that he would share his resources.

You must know that young boys always like to play tricks, or do things that challenge the eyes of the world, and Oleg is also eager to try these things.

Finally figured out why Yuuri was the one Yakov who responded: "...Vicha! You can't skate this kind of genre!"

There must be a limit to being deviant and daring to try!

But seeing Victor's grinning look, Yakov broke up again after knowing it.

Forget it, I'll talk to him alone when I get back. Now let's talk about business. Yakov took a deep breath, changed the subject, and mentioned two things.

First, some people hope to invite Victor, the world youth champion who broke the record and won gold, to participate in the commercial performance, and the prize money for figure skaters is usually not much (US$64000 for the single champion of the World Championships, and US$90000 for the two of them. This is still before tax), the main income comes from commercial performances and sponsors, so Yakov suggested Victor to go.

In addition, several sports agents also took a fancy to Victor and Nastya's excellent appearance and potential in figure skating, and approached Yakov, hoping to discuss signing with the two young people.

This is the children's own business, but Yakov still advises them not to rush to sign a contract with someone, go home and discuss with their parents, it is best to find a professional to give a reference, if they can't find a suitable candidate , You can also ask George or the coach for advice, in short, be cautious so as not to be cheated.

Yuuri blinked.

Seriously, if Yakov was counting on Amy to find a professional for Viktor, then that job would definitely fall to Yuuri in the end.

After all, Andre regarded Yuuri as the person who dealt with the funeral (survivors will find the younger generation who have a good relationship and entrust them to handle some funeral affairs that are not convenient for ordinary people), so some affairs after Andre's death, in Amy When she was so sad that she couldn't help herself, it was actually Little Pumpkin who asked the lawyers introduced by Anatole to help deal with it, and Amy never minded to find Yuuri when encountering difficulties.

After all, the relationship between the two of them is similar to that of siblings with a big age difference, and Yuuri would also go to Amy's house to stay overnight at Amy's house to relax when he was in a bad mood. @无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City

Little Pumpkin kept this matter in mind, and was ready to greet the lawyers. When Amy asked about this in the future, he would immediately give her the lawyer's contact information.

As for the second matter, it is the arrangement of the off-season.

He knew that Yuuri had the habit of going back to his hometown for a few days during the off-season, but this year he came back early this year, and cooperated with Lilia to finish the choreography work, and the rest should rest. They should also maintain a certain degree of exercise during the season and pay attention to their body fat!

Once Yakov finds out who is out of shape and body fat has skyrocketed after the offseason, the old coach will definitely make them look good.

The brats obediently agreed, and then Victor turned to call his mother, and 10 minutes later, Amy's call came to Yuuri.

Not at all surprised, Yuuri got up and went outside to answer the phone.

"Hi, yes, I'm also here in The Hague, I already know the matter... I do know a suitable candidate, and I will send you the phone number later, um, don't be polite to me... Victor is pretty good Oh... Did the matter of that stupid fan get into the Russian sports newspaper?... Victor is fine, he was not affected by the free skating, you see he broke the record and won the championship..."

After Yuuri returned to his seat, a few more minutes passed, and Viktor ran back erratically: "Yakov, my mother has already found a good lawyer from her friend, and I can handle the agent's affairs when I return to Russia!"

Yakov was surprised: "So fast? Is it reliable?"

Victor gave a thumbs up: "No problem, my mother said that the person introduced by this friend is absolutely reliable. I heard that when my father passed away, he brought people to help deal with many legal issues."

Now that he said so, Yakov chose to believe that Victor's mother would not cheat the child, and Nastia also secretly grabbed Victor's sleeve and asked his brother to take her with him when he was looking for a lawyer. Victor was not the only one whose agent approached him, and Nastya had to face these problems as well.

Then there is the performance in the afternoon.

The first thing I want to explain is that although the performance skating of the World Championships and the World Youth Championships are always put together in many fans, in fact, the venues and times of the World Youth Championships and the World Championships are different!

Only in domestic competitions will the youth group and the adult group compete together, and then there will be cases where athletes of different ages perform show skating at the same time.

Yuuri was still pulled into the waiting area by Victor this time, and Victor told Yuuri that he could stand outside the barrier to watch his performance skate later, with a better perspective.

The little pumpkin nodded, took Victor's knife sheath, and looked at it leisurely. At this moment, a hand poked his shoulder.

Yuuri turned his head to see a blond boy looking at him.

He asked suspiciously, "May I ask who you are?"

The boy quickly introduced himself: "I'm Chris, Christophe Giacometti, a Swiss player, and I'm 10th in this competition."

Chris speaks French, but he's sure Yuuri understands it.

Sure enough, the Japanese boy showed an expression of sudden realization, and opened his mouth in fluent French: "You are the Christophe player who discovered me."

Yuuri sincerely thanked: "Thank you very much for your help."

Chris shook his head again and again: "No, don't use your honorifics, and I just helped to call someone."

Chris laughs, looking like a teenager running around a field of sunflowers.

"I just wanted to say, I love your skating, you know? The dance skating lesson videos developed by your former coach are famous in the industry, so I've known you for a long time."

It's not that Yuuri doesn't know that Kathy's mother shared the video of his skating training with Yakov, and she even said hello to Yuuri before doing so, but he doesn't know that this video has actually made it to Switzerland... …

Seeing Yuuri's surprised look, Chris explained shyly, "Because my coach's wife is a Russian figure skater, she helped me get this video, no offense to you, right?"

"No, no."

Yuuri laughed: "I'm glad you like my skating, your spin and hook jump (lz jump) are also beautiful."

"You watched my game!"

Chris opened his eyes wide in surprise: "To be honest, the advantage of Swiss figure skaters is spinning, and what I am best at is hook jumping. If possible, I hope to start challenging 4lz after entering the adult group, although That's hard."

Yuuri agrees gently: "But even the most difficult moves will be challenged by others. This is a competitive sport."

Chris snapped his fingers: "That's right, and athletes who dare to challenge the difficulty are good athletes."

Until the Swiss boy left, Yuuri's eyes changed.

Swiss Giacometti?I don't know what the relationship is with the girl in Macaron, but he doesn't seem to know about the survivors.

Victor, who was off the ice, patted his junior brother: "Yuuri, what are you looking at?"

Yuuri came back to his senses, and he handed over the knife case: "It's nothing... But Victor, you plan to accept the commercial performance invitation, right?" @无限好文，全在晋江文学城

Victor lowered his head and put on the knife cover, and replied casually: "Well, I heard that the commercial performance is very interesting, I want to try it, I heard from Yakov that Yuuri was also invited during the All-Nichijin, but because he was busy The relationship of studying is rejected, right?"

"That's right." @无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City

"Vicia, as far as I know, the commercial show is in April, which may coincide with your third show."

"Eh? Is that so?"

"Well, so, do you want to enter the fourth game with me and Ilya in advance?"

Yuuri took out an iron-gray chip from his pocket, and handed it over: "Originally, I didn't mention this to you because the background of this chip seemed rather cruel, but now it seems that it's better for you to go in with me .”

Victor took the chip in astonishment, and found that the text on it seemed to be in Japanese, and Yuuri translated it for Victor.

【4. Battle Royale】

At that time, Victor was still too young and naive. He had no idea what the words "Battle Royale" meant, so the first thing he did after coming out of the fourth game was to rush to the toilet and hold the toilet. vomit.

The author has something to say:

Chris will probably pick Weiheyong at the same time in the future hahaha, after all Weiheyong is the double king, it is estimated that there are almost no people who are not fans of the figure skating circle. During the same period, Chris will also be under a lot of pressure, which is also the cruelty of competitive sports.
