Gao Liang's performance is entirely a true display of skill—this kind of dance is extremely risky and could easily result in injury. Yet Gao Liang executes a series of daring moves with grace, while Mei-Hiko and Seiko, though unable to perform certain feats as boldly as Gao Liang, skillfully embody his creative vision through their own body language. Moreover, they sing and dance simultaneously. With the trio, two stunning beauties serving as elegant backdrops to Gao Liang, he occasionally embraces Mei-Hiko's slender waist and at other times lifts Seiko's body, together with the two women performing the "Peacock Dance." Gao Liang himself is a top-tier Hollywood director, and it's no surprise that he captivates audiences by leading his two Japanese star actresses in a Chinese-inspired dance. "VERYYGOOD! VERYYGOOD!" the applause rises continuously, and the crowd is electrified. While the 19 women begin to dance, there is indeed a certain essence missing—something that cannot be fully expressed in words. This essence becomes evident when compared directly to the performance led by Gao Liang and Mei-Hiko. It can only be felt, not expressed. "Jump now! You'll surpass them! Haha! You're all so stylish—give it your best, ladies! Perform a full-body dance! Go for the sexy route!" Giyo roared. "I simply can't believe it! Nineteen of Japan's most fashionable models, the top runway talents, will be outmatched by just three members of Gōtō!" Giyo wouldn't accept the reality of defeat. At the same time, he opened a box of cash, grabbed a handful, and threw it among the nineteen women. Strange enough, none of the women went to pick up the cash that had fallen to the ground. This was astonishing. Even more surprising was that the nineteen women, without hesitation, instinctively rushed toward Gōtō's trio, thus forming a combined group of twenty-one—beautiful women and Misako and Jūzō. Gōtō became the overall director on stage. Also a highly engaged lead performer, setting an exemplary example that awakened every cell in the bodies of the 21 beautiful dancers. The 19 dancers had never experienced such a sensation—coming so late, it even stirred a touch of emotion. The group of 21 pure and fresh young women from Tokyo University re-presented their dance and performance with even greater perfection. Under the refined direction of Director Gao Liang, these 21 dancers fully showcased their collective strengths. The ensemble of Chinese dancers performing the "Lotus Dance" was now truly powerful. Mei-ko and Seiko embodied the two lotus blossoms—Mei-ko, still in bud, and Seiko, fully blooming and radiant. The other 19 dancers served as the surrounding lotus leaves. What about Director Gao Liang? What was he doing? The audience turned to look—there, a wooden boat appeared on stage, with Gao Liang seated inside, holding a bamboo pole and gently propelling it forward. This was the stage, yet the audience noticed that they were actually in a pond. Behind the stage, the expansive backdrop revealed the serene landscape of a Jiangnan pond in China. Twenty-one beautiful women were dancing in the lotus pond, while our Gao Liang was rowing a boat to harvest lotuses. "Wow! What a miracle! Look! The wooden boat is moving! The wooden boat is moving!" the on-site audience was exclaiming. As they turned to look, what a sight! Indeed, it was true! Gao Liang had employed a special technique—his own director, a man with a full beard, was operating the camera from the boat, capturing the graceful spring scenes of the southern Jiangnan lotus pond. This brought a sense of motion to the entire pond, making the physical concept of relative motion come alive. Though the wooden boat itself remained still, the video footage appeared to be in motion, creating the impression that the boat was actually moving. Gao Liang was performing actions of rowing and harvesting lotuses on the boat, while also reciting a famous Chinese poem about lotuses, "The South of the River," which reads: "In the south, lotuses can be harvested, their leaves stretch out widely. Fish play among the leaves—fish playing in the east, fish playing in the west, fish playing in the south, fish playing in the north." "Highlight chanted and then leapt down from the boat, becoming a playful fish playing with lotus leaves and blossoms amidst the ever-changing scenes of the lotus landscape. The lotus figures portrayed by Mizuho and Shizuko were teased by this fish, while the 19 Japanese women representing the lotus leaves were constantly brushed and swayed by the fish's movements. Highlight recited a poem by the Qing dynasty poet Shi Tao, 'Lotus Leaves Five Inches Long, Lotus Blossoms Delicate and Graceful, Pressing the water surface without hindering the rocking of the painted boat; When the warm summer breeze blows in April and May, even the beauty's waist can be shielded by them.' 'Wow! Look! Look!' someone in the crowd exclaimed, drawing many spectators' attention as they realized that Highlight's painted boat had truly begun to move—this time, he had genuinely brought the boat into motion. The secret lay in four small wheels installed beneath the boat, a special type of wooden vessel. Highlight freely steered it, cutting through the waves and weaving through the lotus and leaf clusters, while the 21 women gracefully danced around the boat." And thus, the true "Lotus Dance" was completed. Finally, all 21 beautiful women boarded the painted boat. As the boat steadily advanced, moving forward, forward, it eventually sailed toward a rainbow stretching across the horizon—sailing, sailing… The stage faded, the boat and its passengers vanished. People stood in quiet contemplation, wondering where the boat had truly gone. At that moment, someone suddenly cried out, "The painted boat is coming! Look!" People turned to follow the call, and behold—what a wonder! The boat rose into the air. High-light and the 21 women waved enthusiastically to the entire audience, who seemed to be dreaming, instantly shouting in rapture, "What a miracle! The 'Lotus Dance' is truly magical!" The audience thought the performance had ended there—yet, unexpectedly, the 21 women, dressed in lotus robes and adorned with lotus leaves, began dancing gracefully in the air, while High-light? Then the person seems to leap through the air—within the painted boat, he is a person gathering lotus blossoms and leaves; outside the boat, he becomes a playful fish darting about. Free and joyful! "Lotus Dance" embodies this graceful and romantic spirit—exactly what the audience seeks! "Wow! So refreshing! This is the soul of Chinese dance—life lived in freedom!" said a dance critic. "Absolutely stunning! A masterwork by Director Gao! It has truly opened our eyes!" "The lotus blooms under the sun, glowing more brilliantly than ever! Wow! Under Director Gao's exquisite training, all the beautiful dancers have truly shone!"... Journalists from all over the world immediately began filming the vibrant scene and broadcast it live. Gao Liang, Mei Kiyoko, Jing Kiyoko, and the 19 stunning young women instantly captured the attention of audiences worldwide. Within a single night, "The Lotus Dance of the Chinese Nation" became a global sensation, instantly rising to the most searched keywords on every online search engine. Gao Liang, a globally renowned and celebrated director, is a household name. With her exceptional husband, Misako and Seiko have also gained significant acclaim, and these 19 stunning Japanese women have now become the focus of international attention. Even Gao Liang's casually directed performance of "Lotus Dance" propelled these 19 Japanese young women into the spotlight, showcasing their exquisite beauty, fully at his disposal. The Shangri-La representative, frustrated with Jiye, had long grown weary of him, and turned to him with a firm voice: "You may boast and insult us Shangri-La, but you must never dare to belittle my brand, 'I Want to Become a God'—a world-renowned name in the realm of becoming divine!" Jiye, in turn, mocked and laughed wildly: "I Want to Become a God! I've never even worked in cosmetics—let that be for my next life!" At that moment, the top host of the Hollywood World Cosmetics Showcase Center, Roland, stepped forward. A British woman working for the Los Angeles television station, she announced to the audience: "This year's ranking of the world's top ten cosmetics brands remains unchanged. The Japanese brand, Shiseido, still holds the tenth position. China has failed to make the top ten!" Upon hearing this, Jiye grew even more scornful, shouting with emphasis: "Highlights! Go to hell!" Highlights clapped his hands and said: "Don't get too excited yet! The show isn't over—keep watching!" As soon as the highlight spoke, he blew a whistle, and soon many people came onto the stage. Five beautiful women wore luminous jade ornaments on their necks, as well as jade pendants on their wrists and feet, making the scene exceptionally elegant and splendid.
