Chapter 400 Sword Dance Revolution

From the beginning of the day, Jiang Wei sent Gu Xiaobai to the laboratory, then went out and turned right to train the security guards.

At the same time, Du Wenliang, a dance professor at Dongcheng University of the Arts, was directing his students to rehearse the knife dance.

If Mr. Hong was here, he would probably be able to recognize it. This is the dance troupe that "plans to restore the sword dance of the Han Dynasty" that appeared on TV before.

At this moment, Du Wenliang was holding Gu Xiaobai's performance video, playing it frame by frame, raising his head from time to time, instructing his students a few words, frowning and scolding a few words from time to time, and then the dance started again.

The life of a dancer is so boring. If you practice a movement a hundred times, you will naturally become proficient.

For Du Wenliang, this is probably a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

An opportunity to stand out in the Chinese dance circle and lead a new generation of fashion.

He didn't intend to completely copy the sword dance in Gu Xiaobai's "Champion Overture", but this sword dance made him see a whole new world and a completely different future.

It was a temptation he couldn't stand.

While imitating Gu Xiaobai Daowu's movements, he was thinking about how to integrate and adapt these movements into a brand new dance.

Then move it onto the stage as fast as possible.

Make it your own dance with your own stamp.

Then, the future will become infinitely better.

He can have his own phenomenal dance drama, search for the best dancers to tour everywhere, and be famous in the history of Chinese dance...

Ideal is plump, reality is skinny.

No matter how he modified it, it seemed to lack some flavor.

There is already a lot of Shen Yun dances missing, how come the more you change it, the less you feel it?
The music is also the same music, and the dance movements have been imitated as much as possible, and the movements of my own dancers are obviously more elegant, crisper, and more in place.

But why, it just doesn't look good?
Just don't feel it?
He didn't know that Gu Xiaobai's sword dance was actually born out of the fighting skills of the Han Dynasty army.

China's weapons developed from mainly bronze wares in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States to iron wares in the Han Dynasty. The sidearms of soldiers and generals also changed from bronze short swords mainly for assassination (bronze wares are relatively brittle and easy to break when cast too long) to A straight knife that can be stabbed or chopped.

Of course, in the era of Champion Hou, the sword had just begun to replace the sword in the army. The champion, a man of heaven, was equipped with the best equipment in the army.

The sabers they carried with them were ring-shouldered knives that had been honed over thousands of years. At that time, they would not be exchanged for a thousand pieces of gold.

As for the sword dance, it was at this time that it became popular in the army, and gradually grew, and the light and elegant sword dance, each excelled in the field, and then merged with the sword dance, becoming a glorious sword in the Tang Dynasty. The dance finally evolved into a court sword dance with a combination of hardness and softness in the Song Dynasty, with a huge momentum and hundreds of people.

In this era, there are no strict boundaries between civil servants and military generals. Most of the generals who lead troops in battle are nobles of noble birth like champions. They have received six arts training since they were young. Reciting poems and composing Fu, heroic and romantic.

The founding emperor like Liu Bang would get up and dance by himself when he was free.

This was the social necessity of that era.

So the sons of nobles, generals in the army, all of them are master dancers.

Unfortunately, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, high-ranking dignitaries were ashamed to dance because of their identities, and the status of military officers was lowered, and most of them were rude. Apart from drinking and cursing, there were no such heroic, elegant, and romantic entertainments.

So far, this heroic and elegant dance has disappeared in the court and the upper class.

Fortunately, folk operas flourished during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, absorbing the nutrients of sword dances and sword dances, borrowing them from operas, and becoming standardized and rhythmic opera sword dances.

In the new era, new dances started with difficulty from the devastation. Domestic dancers drew nutrients from operas, folk dances, murals, and ancient history books, and brought sword dance to the stage again.

It's a pity that the sword dance at this time is like a dehydrated radish re-soaked in water, and it no longer has the vigorous vitality and shocking power.

That's exactly what Mr. Hong saw on TV and the Internet that day, the light sword dance.

But at this moment, Gu Xiaobai's knife dance caused a shock in the dance circle, like a magnitude [-] earthquake!
This is a completely different system!
It felt like the terracotta warriors came alive one by one!
It's like the ginseng fruit of Wuzhuang Temple, it's ripe!

Everyone wants to get their own nourishment from it.

Jiang Wei and the others had no idea how many competitors they had.

At this moment, eight of the ten classical dance troupes are practicing sword dance!
Because Chinese dance is more serious than music dating!

To make an ironic joke, Chinese classical dance is modern dance (according to Western classification, it should be contemporary dance).

After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, it borrowed ballet training methods to train basic skills, and then revived modern dances from folk dances, operas, Korean dances (Korea and Japan partially inherited ancient Chinese dances) and other dances. It has been passed down for only 70 to [-] years. , but the development and hard work of four or five generations of dancers...

In this way, using ballet as the branch and grafting various branch and leaf dances, it may be a bit too harsh to say that it is patchwork, but it is said that its system is dry, the theory is lacking, and there is still a lot of room for development. Not too much.

No matter how much it emphasizes the "body charm", the charm and strength it shows are actually completely different from the ancient dances. Even if the ancient dances are restored, they are similar in appearance but not in spirit.After all, ballet is a Western court dance, not a Chinese one.

Chinese court dances basically dated back to the Ming and Qing dynasties.

It is pitiful to say that, such a brilliant music and dance civilization in ancient China has been reduced to the point where it needs to be resurrected in modern times.

Every modern dancer has to find fertile soil from the desert and wait for flowers among the thorns.

But at this time, Gu Xiaobai's sword dance is like the Yellow River breaking its embankment, bringing endless fertile soil.

This is not classical dance!no!
For hundreds or even thousands of years, no one has ever danced like them!

This is the original, pure ancient dance!

Not to mention these dancers, even Zou Lao and his disciples and grandchildren were shocked again.

Where did this child recover this artifact from!

Forget it, don't ask, you know the answer even if you don't ask.

Must be dreaming again.

But the severed root system, the young tree that is about to wither, suddenly reconnects with the mother body, if there is no flowering at this time, when will it be?

The protection of dance in copyright law is the movement of protection, not creativity.

At this time, from Gu Xiaobai's knife dance, absorb nutrients, compose new dances, extract theories, and write papers, who says he can't become an authority in this new field?
And the end of the year is coming soon, when various reports and performances will gather together, who said there will not be a "knife dance revolution" and a new outbreak of new domestic dance genres?
The chaos of the dance circle has come.

At this moment, Gu Xiaobai, who was obsessed with the laboratory, didn't care about these things at all.

Isn't it just a knife dance, it doesn't matter.

And the two executives who are obsessed with crossovers don't know this, they just happily fantasize about a bright future.

Lots of money, lots of money beckoning.

suck~
I can't take a single sip of saliva, so take another sip.

suck~
Jiang Wei taught the knife dance moves once, and asked his teammates to practice by themselves. Just as he walked aside to take a break, he received a strange call.

When he picked up the phone, it was a familiar voice.

"Oh, Jiang Wei, you've been doing really well lately..."

The comrades-in-arms that Jiang Wei had come to defect to but could not find anywhere, made contact again.
