Chapter 387 Preparations for the World Tour! (Please subscribe ~ monthly pass!)
The design of the new work is already half done.

Therefore, Li Shaojie will also start to think about things related to the premiere.

However, this time, Li Shaojie does not intend to premiere in China, let alone only for domestic audiences.

Want to become the world's top performer?

Relatively speaking, in fact, it is not very dependent on "going out".

Because, as long as you have the ability, it is natural. If you are happy, you can even not go abroad at all. Although there may be some criticism and public opinion from the people, strength is strength. What you perform is obvious to all. What is with you It doesn't matter where you develop and where you play.

But if you want to become the world's top composer, musician, or artist.

It is necessary to "go out".

Go abroad, come to the world, and actively communicate with the world.

Because this involves a "cultural" issue.

World cultures are diverse.

As a country with a long history, China can never look at the world with arrogance and arrogance, boasting that it is the top country and not communicating with it, let alone the moon in foreign countries is relatively round, lacking confidence in its own culture, and blindly flattering others.

Take pride in your own culture and hide it in your bones.

Be humble and accept the world culture, recognize other cultures, and learn from each other's strengths.

Only in this way can we have real cultural confidence and become a real world-class artist.

It is clear.

Li Shaojie's overseas activities are somewhat lacking.

The so-called, national, is the world.

In fact, from the perspective of the world, from the perspective of a classical learner.

Chinese people know enough about the outside world, but the outside world is far from enough about China.

However, it is difficult to achieve this goal.

We have to come little by little.

Western classical music has developed through hundreds of years.

Time to go out into the world is beyond imagination.

It took almost two centuries of world-wide communication and worldwide extensive learning to achieve today's results.

Everyone has heard of it, and everyone knows some masters.

Fans can even tell you about the development history of Western music, celebrities, and masterpieces.

This is not something that happens overnight.

Relatively speaking, Chinese native music has more styles, a larger scope, a longer history, is more influenced by various cultures and philosophies, and includes more ethnic groups.

This is also doomed to the extremely huge amount of engineering that wants to go to the world.

Time will inevitably be longer.

Difficulty is not a level at all.

Even people who are born in traditional Chinese music may not be able to understand the entire context of traditional Chinese music.

That TM is not clear at all.

Some people say that one or two masterpieces can bring Chinese music to the world?

Li Shaojie felt that he could first reward this person with a big mouth daydreaming.

Therefore, the efforts of modern Chinese musicians in this way are simply brilliant.

Or, when doing Western classical music, add some Chinese elements secretly.

Infiltrate slowly.

Or, it is to Sinicize Western classical music to express Chinese culture.

To do a Western classical music that is different from the West.

As for the expression of cultural output, it can only be expressed in a single point-in the endless Chinese traditional music culture, history and culture, and folk tales, a small section, a small paragraph, and a small style are intercepted.

Make creation.

For example, Li Shaojie's "Dunhuang Ode to Compassion", or some Dunhuang dances, or other Dunhuang-themed works.

Dunhuang.

It is enough for a person to study for a lifetime.

But in the face of the entire Chinese culture and history, it seems insignificant.

Therefore, considering various aspects, Li Shaojie believes that he must hurry up and go to the world as much as possible.

Under this consideration, Li Shaojie began to prepare to wait and see.

The last stop of this trip abroad is naturally to visit his teacher.

Tell the truth.

Frederick, old man, can handle it.

If there is something wrong, he is really good!

Li Shaojie didn't even need to deal with some troublesome things in the premiere.

The old man understood the arrangement.

The subsequent world tour was even more clearly arranged.

From the Berlin Opera House, to Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen, Denmark, to Brussels, Belgium, Milan, Italy, Greece, and then to America and Australia.

The last two stops are Jingcheng and Pengcheng.

You know, touring is a very troublesome thing.

There are also many aspects that need to be communicated.

Very busy.

But with the help of Frederick's network, making an appointment has become very simple.

Of course, there are also reasons for Li Shaojie's influence in the industry.

Musicians with international influence, who want to do a world tour of their works, are rarely rejected.

Not only artistically, but also culturally.

The economic impact is also huge.

Of course, this matter does not only have a folk background.

Although the various officials did not do anything publicly, they were actually very concerned about it secretly.

This thing can move the whole body.

To put it mildly, it is that Li Shaojie has completed a work and wants to tour the world.

To put it bluntly, this is cultural exchange.

If it is bigger, it can be regarded as people-to-people diplomacy.

This is nothing unusual.

For example, sometimes, in diplomacy, after becoming enthusiastic about a certain country, it is all-round communication and exchange in terms of economy, culture, art, etc. Sometimes, the country even encourages some actions of the people.

Time passed slowly.

As many fans expected.

After the linkage cooperation of League of Legends.
Jie Ge
They are gone again!
The current Jie fans, regarding the whereabouts of Jie Ge, are already Buddhist and can no longer be Buddhist.

outrageous.

When people disappear, even if you are a die-hard fan, no matter how powerful your attention is.

I don't know what Jack is doing.

But once a person has news, it must be big, not to mention hot search, not to say how popular, but at least knowing the news is no problem.

so.
I pay attention to a fart?

Stop and stay.

When Brother Jie is happy, it will inevitably bubble up.

To be reasonable, with the skill of chasing people's news, it's better to go to the league to play a few games.

Just like this, the probability of meeting Brother Jie by chance is much more reliable than finding news.

After returning from Germany, Li Shaojie and his wife came to the capital.

On the side of Zhongba, the next step of choreography work began.

In order to prepare for the finalization, dance practice, band rehearsal, and training camp.

Days passed a week.

During this week, Li Shaojie and the choreographer of National Ballet of China have been arguing almost all the time.

"Ajie! Such a good opportunity, why don't you express the Chinese elements more strongly?!"

The choreographer of National Ballet of China is Tao Zi, who is nearly forty this year.

Also the former chief.

After retiring, he specialized in ballet choreography.

Originally, it was a pleasure to cooperate with Li Shaojie.

But Tao Zi really didn't understand why Li Shaojie would give up such a good opportunity.

There are obviously Chinese cultural elements in your works.

But why is the expression so abstract and vague?
Yes, but only a little.

Can't even hear it a little bit.

I can only feel such a lost feeling.

You can definitely make more quintessential and more traditional Chinese element fragments! !

"Teacher Tao Zi, as I said, there are many things that cannot be rushed for quick success!!"

Li Shaojie refused to budge, frowning, arguing with Tao Zi.

"I know you want to show more Chinese culture in terms of ballet, music, and works, but you have to know that sometimes, such a mentality of eager for quick success is not advisable, and it may even be counterproductive!!"

"Why are you so eager for quick success?! Since there are Chinese cultural elements, let's show them off!!"

"Because this is a European fairy tale!! Moreover, it must be different from the Western European style!!"

Li Shaojie frowned.

"There are not many intentional content in China, and, for the sake of the work itself, we should try to switch to the feeling of seeing China from the perspective of Westerners!!"

"Also, my original intention is to minimize the political presence of various ethnic groups while retaining a little bit of characteristic imagery, so as not to be so paranoid about everything!!"

Li Shaojie was very worried.

You must know that Westerners actually have a one-sided understanding of the East, and it can even be said to be a little biased.

A positive impression that can be taken out, and it is a positive impression that countless people can easily touch in their lives
Very few.

Therefore, when dealing with it, Li Shaojie felt that in this kind of Western story, the Chinese style must not be emphasized too much, which would be counterproductive.

It's like communicating with people from two countries with different languages.

You have to go to Amway's native language and force the other party to read the native language, which works well.

Or do you go up and tell their stories in their language, and then give a little impression of your own country and language and small easter eggs, and then gradually deepen it?
Li Shaojie has come across so many works, and I am really touched.

Just like the works of Dunhuang culture.

Although it is also out of the world, and the evaluation is quite high.

But can those foreigners really feel the most profound Chinese culture in the works?
Actually not.

They just feel the rich cultural heritage and mystery of the East from the music works.

Feel the beauty of Chinese culture.

As for the things inside, especially the thoughts that most affect people.

No matter how knowledgeable it is, it is really difficult to get it.

Although, serious music is difficult to understand is the norm.

But Li Shaojie thinks, at least you have to let those who can understand understand.

It's as if you tell a story to a foreigner.

In China's "Guang Yu Chu Xin Zhi", Huang Zhijun's "Tiger Widow Biography".

When Custodian TM uttered the first sentence, foreigners were stunned on the spot.

Even if you are interested, it will be too difficult to understand.

But the story of "Aunt Tiger" is a very popular folktale spread in Wanwan Province.

This is the effect of cultural differences.

But what if you change the angle?
Tell me about "Little Red Riding Hood" in Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale?
They are all stories that tell children not to trust strangers and be careful of being deceived.

It's just a gray wolf and a tiger.

Hey guys, much the same, very similar to this story.

In an instant, foreigners can understand.

Then, tell people that we have a similar story, XXX, a hundred years earlier.

People would exclaim "wow! Amazing! Amazing!"

If you talk directly to foreigners about Dahongpao in Wuyi Mountain, the difference between Yuqian Longjing and Mingqian Longjing.

Do people understand?

Many people may even lose interest directly.

But if you gradually cut into the orthodox Chinese tea culture from the habit of drinking black tea by British aristocrats
Is this more acceptable to talk about?
Therefore, this time, Li Shaojie did not want to forcibly engage in traditional orthodox Chinese culture.

"Adding a little Chinese element does not mean that the overall style of our work is Chinese style. I can have Chinese culture, Chinese stories, and Chinese style works, but this work is not!!"

Li Shaojie looked anxious.

"This time, I just want to use a foreigner's perspective to describe a more positive Chinese intention, and it's just a short clip!!"

The cooperation in dance theater is not something that only dancers or musicians can accomplish.

Li Shaojie only has a preliminary arrangement and works, stories and backgrounds.

But in fact, the selection and arrangement of the internal details of the work are done jointly by musicians and choreographers.

Sometimes, the variation style may be changed due to changes in dance movements.

Li Shaojie is leading.

But it cannot be said.

If you don't listen to the opinions of some real choreographers and dancers, then the overall work of your own work can only be a piece of shit.

Music has musical ideas.

Dance has the idea of ​​dancing.

Dancers have their own unique style.

If the strengths of the three cannot be brought into full play, but instead hinder each other, then no matter how good the work is in a single point, it will be viewed as a whole.
Just shit.

These are the two segments that need to be measured in the combination of music and dance.

There is actually nothing wrong with Tao Zi's thinking.

In Tao Zi's view, you have such a good tour opportunity, and the goal is to make your works go global and at the same time have a little bit of Chinese characteristics.

Then why, in the choreography of the dance, in the choice of music, can't it be more Chinese?

But Li Shaojie's idea is
This work is actually a transitional experiment.

The goal is not to be limited to the "Chinese style", but to do it from the perspective of the world as much as possible.

It is important to promote Chinese culture, but it is also important to let Chinese art go to the world.

But you must not be a Chinese-style bewildered person.

Everything serves the work and cannot be forced.

I can have very pure, very novel, very creative Chinese works.

But it does not mean that I can only have Chinese works.

Moreover, this time, the fragments of Chinese elements inside the work are an experiment, an experiment of "not using strong Chinese elements to outline a vague impression of China".

Tao Zi feels that when expressing Chinese elements, Chinese ballet style, music style, and even some musical instruments should be embellished as much as possible to make the impression clearer.

But what Li Shaojie wanted was to give a vague impression, and try to focus on Western style, otherwise, too abrupt feedback would split the overall texture of the work.

Therefore, the two had serious differences in the way of thinking about the arrangement.

　It's not a sadist, and it's not about finding an idiot to fight against the protagonist.

　　In fact, in artistic cooperation, it is normal to have different starting points and ideas.

　　The design of a dance drama cannot be completed by one person.

　　I write about musicians, not all-rounders of art.

　　Therefore, in the cooperation and collision with artists in different fields, it is impossible to go smoothly.

　　I think it is the most wonderful thing to have differences and resolve them to produce works with different textures.

　　And more or less want to take this opportunity to complain.

　　Make complaints about those Chinese people who are stunned by the Chinese style.

　　In fact, readers also know that Sword Fairy is a super licking dog in Chinese traditional culture.

　　I dare not say how deep the research is, but I must have learned a lot.

　　It also belongs to those who think that "Chinese culture is the most NB".

　　But still the same sentence, too much is too late, and quick success is not advisable.

　　Blindly trying to engage in Chinese culture in any work will become a bewildered person instead.

　　You like sesame oil, but it is impossible to add sesame oil to all dishes.

　　You like coriander, but it is impossible to mix coriander with rice.

　　I think it's better to add the right things at the right time.

　　Even if you like spicy food, you still have to know how to taste sweets, right~
　　If you become a chili addict, the ice cream is red oil chili flavor
　　Then it becomes a dark cuisine, and it cannot effectively promote the spicy taste, right~
