Hot Blood Dance Crew

Here,

is the glorious place for Chinese street dance.

Here,

is the place where burning, passionate dreams of street dance exist.

Here,

is the city of hot blood.

One-hundred and ninety-one of the China's top dancers

are waiting here for the two groups of Hot-Blood Recruiters to arrive.

They are Lu Han and Jackson Wang.

I'm looking forward to these current, youthful Chinese dancers,

because I believe that they will be the leaders of future street dance trends.

I'm really excited to see China's top dancers.

It's because of them that Chinese street dance might be seen by the world.

China has never lacked top dancers.

What's been lacking is a stage for them to shine on.

While I still have stamina and fans, I will bring everyone to see

skillful Chinese dancers.

If it wasn't for dancing, the person I am today wouldn't exist.

I came here because I want to try my best

to help people achieve their dreams through dancing and to allow the world see China's top dancers.

They deserve a better stage.

Two groups of recruiters will gather together thirty dancers from the city

to form a team and fight for the glory of Hot-Blood Dance Crew.

Hot-Blood Dance Crew starts right now!

To the four Hot-Blood recruiters, welcome.

In one hour,

the one-hundred and ninety-one top dancers that are awaiting recruitment

will watch your debut performance.

These one-hundred and ninety-one dancers

will vote based on your dance performances.

The sum of each team's recruiters' scores

will be the result of this round.

This result

will greatly affect

your team recruitment process.

This performance result will affect our team selection process, right?

The one-hundred and ninety people below the stage

aren't just normal audience members, they are some of the best dancers,

professional dancers, in the country.

I really don't know how this is going to go.

I never would have thought

that something like this would happen! Aren't we supposed to be the recruiters?

Aren't we supposed to be the ones doing the recruiting?

Why have we become... why are they voting on us?

But I think, whether there's two-hundred people,

two-thousand people, or twenty-thousand people, it's all the same.

I'm confident.

Hot!

It's too unbelievable!

I really excited to see Lu Han.

Lu Han!

I'm excited for Lu Han.

I like William Chan more.

William Chan, fighting!

William Chan!

I like Jackson Wang.

- Why? - Because he's as handsome as me. - Whoa!

Jackson Wang.

Jackson Wang!

- I'm excited for Jackson Wang. - Me, too. Me, too.

I support Victoria Song.

I'm very excited for Victoria Song.

- Victoria Song, fighting! Fighting! - Whoo!

- This is more nerve-wrecking than performing at a concert. - That's right.

Wow! This is way more nerve-wreaking than that.

It feels as if I am being judged to see if I pass.

Yeah, and we're getting voted on! That...

Contestants, how are you guys feeling right now?

- Very hyped! - Very good.

For today's competition, we'll be very fair.

The order will be determined by luck of the draw.

In my hand are four Vivo X21 phones.

Each person needs to pick a phone.

On the screen will be one of four letters:

H, B, D, C.

The one who gets H will perform first.

Okay, I'll go first.

HBDC.

This is the performance order for tonight.

Everyone, please prepare.

Sorry to keep all you dancers waiting.

Following the order that was determined via random selection,

our first performer will be

William Chan and Victoria Song's team.

William Chan.

HBDC.

So the first person performing is William.

For this performance, I'm taking a risk.

I've never tried this dance style before.

I hope that for the first season and first performance,

it doesn't have to be as fiery.

This time, I want to show this kind of... different kind of style.

-Yeah, yeah, yeah. -Yeah.

Being on this stage, I think that it's a rare opportunity for me to improve.

Different kind of style.

I want to have a self-breakthrough

and see myself dance something different.

I want to see how my body will react,

if I'll be unable to adapt or/i>

if I can quickly adapt to this new stage.

Especially in a dance with only two people, the electricity between us and

the connection between our souls...

I don't know if that will be a good thing or a bad thing.

We welcome our Hot-Blood recruiter, William Chan,

and the hot goddess of the dance world, Galen Hooks.

- William's mood right now— - He must be really nervous right now.

My heart's probably beating faster than his.

That's right, it's like a puppet.

- So good! - So cool!

His popping had some elements of swag in it.

He showed the stops in the popping very clearly.

From the beginning to the end, he followed through. He did great with that.

I feel like he was very nervous.

Since he was the first performer, it's inevitable that he'd be nervous.

I feel like I can be at ease. It felt great.

Very cool!

Very cool, very cool

Be honest, were you nervous in the beginning?

If I said I wasn't nervous, I'd be lying.

In the beginning when I was waiting for the boom boom boom , I was a little nervous.

According to the random selection,

the second performer will be

from Lu Han and Jackson Wang's team.

Lu Han.

This one, then.

- Tell me. - B.

The one-hundred and ninety audience members below the stage are all top dancers.

I'm very nervous, my hands are covered in sweat.

My mind is totally blank. I'm scared that I'll forget the moves, I'm so nervous.

First, now watch her.

- Me. - Seven, eight, nine, move up.

In this dance, there are many moves and they're very complicated.

It's one of those very ignited things. So much stress.

One more time?

One more time, one more time.

One more time.

Her choreography is actually pretty hard and the rhythm is really fast.

The first time, I thought that maybe

I wouldn't be able to learn it.

And I'm dancing with the two of them on stage for everyone to see.

There will be a clear comparison,

so there's even more pressure.

My mind right now is blank white.

It's like I've returned to one of those auditions from before.

Next.

This is different from any performance I've done before.

Let's welcome Hot-Blood recruiter Lu Han

and world- class swag queen, Rie Hata.
