Defining the concert as a "boat of dreams" is the result of Zao Wou-ki's careful consideration. Western culture, a word "boat", since their fate is also their path. From "Noah's Ark" to "Pirates", "
"Ghost Ship", then "Aircraft Carrier", from legend to reality, Western history has always been inseparable from the figure of "boat".
Zao Wou-Ki's "Dream Boat" music concert not only caters to Western cultural customs so that Americans can understand the meaning of his show, but it also injects a new meaning, which is "dream".
This dream is not only the dream of mankind, but also the dream of China, and it is also Zao Wou-ki's personal dream.
In his previous life, Zhao Wuji was not a person with lofty ambitions. If he were an ordinary reborn person, he would only seek some tangible benefits for himself or his family by relying on historical trends and personal experience. This is indeed the case.
On that day, he decided to go to Fengshan Township and do some practical things. He just didn't expect that there was someone in Fengshan Township who was not on the same path as his father, Zhao Dezheng.
But an unfavorable [Utopia] system completely changed his direction and path, forcing him to take his official position very seriously. Of course, because of this [Utopia] system, in terms of ability, level, and realm,
This salary level is much higher than that of ordinary people, and has the capital to "get promoted and make a fortune".
If an ordinary person says to others, "I want to save the country and the people, and help the country and the world," someone will definitely ask you, "Are you a Martian?" Because as long as a normal person understands, that is too impossible! It is more likely that there is something wrong with it.
The "angry young man" who was too polite cursed: "Go back to your Mars!"
It is also because of the "Utopia" system that Zao Wou-Ki has the ability to speak such big words, and also has the strength to realize this "dream". In addition, after nearly a century of tossing in China, there is also a tendency for people's minds to change.
Make his ideas not too difficult to implement.
Since his study of the system reached the "Grand Master" level in several aspects, although Zhao Wuji is still working hard to master the knowledge of the system, he has already had enough energy to think about the functional catalog of each subsystem. Because with the
As Zhao Wuji's ability to protect himself increased, the conditions for exchanging technologies and products from the system were gradually relaxed. Some new technology lists were displayed in front of him one by one, giving Zhao Wuji more confidence.
However, facing the dazzling list of technologies in the system, which is like entering a supermarket, Zao Wuji also faces some choices. For example, on the development path, is it better to be incremental or leapfrog? Many people in this era may say that leapfrog is better.
.Because we have lagged behind for too long; but only those who are born again can understand that in later generations of China, because of its excessive pursuit of efficiency, the national economic aggregate has increased, but most people have not enjoyed enough benefits from it, and only in later generations will China have
The two hot words "efficiency" and "fairness" and how to deal with their relationship.
But no matter what, the "dream" is confirmed, and Zao Wou-ki's "Dream Boat" has been launched and set sail. It is also because of this that the theme of this concert was born. Of course, in the eyes of others, even if
This "dream boat" is mixed with Zao Wou-ki's personal "dream". But they will also think that this kind of personal emotion is not much.
But no one knows that Zao Wou-ki is actually a "lone traveler" and the "Dream Boat" concert is his personal "dream declaration" to the world!
As for the sub-theme "Zhao Wou-Ki and Chinese Young Artists Concert", Zao Wou-Ki naturally wants to invite Erhu actor Xu Xiaoyun, guzheng actor Zhang Shuxu, singer Bi Dawei, dancer Pei Shijia, young female singer Zhang Lan, etc. to accompany him on the trip.
Five people came on stage to accompany him in the performance.
This is also their first show abroad for these five people. Zao Wou-Ki assigned each of them a show, and they will also co-star in another show with Zao Wou-Ki. In this way, they will have two shows. These 10
The program is a program with local Chinese flavor. In addition, Zao Wou-Ki also personally selected four of the most representative folk songs of China, "Apricot Flowing Water" and "Kangding Love Song" from the southwest region, and "Xintianyou" from the northwest region. Northeast region
"Ussuri Boat Song", these four songs are suitable for male or female duet singing. Of course, there are many representative Chinese folk songs, such as "Jasmine", but they are suitable for girls to sing, so this one is composed by Zhang Lan
Singing, or even other folk songs, is out of the question for the time being.
As for "Ussuri Barcarolle", it fits the theme of this concert "Dream Boat".
Because of this, Zao Wou-Ki also tries his best to use "boat" as the theme in music related to Western cultural backgrounds, such as Tchaikovsky's "June. Barcarolle" (piano suite), Italy's "Gondola" in Venice
"Barcarolle" (folk song), Chopin's "Opus 60" (piano music), Offenbach's "Barcarolle" (duet, inviting a female singer from the United States to perform on the same stage), Monkey Country's "Barcarolle", also known as "The Stars"
"So" etc.
Although Zao Wou-Ki has no favorable impression of the Monkey Kingdom, the Monkey Country's "Barcarolle" is one of the world's classic folk songs. Perhaps, this is the only positive image of the Monkey Kingdom left among the Chinese people.
This concert was held on the territory of the United States. Naturally, Zao Wou-ki could not forget American songs and chose American songs. Zao Wou-ki ultimately defined it as "country folk songs". In this aspect, Americans have many excellent works.
Also because of the theme of "Dream Boat", Zao Wou-Ki ultimately did not touch songs related to pop music, rock music, soul music, rb, disco, hiphop and other styles. In a sense, Michael Jackson is also a person who spans time and space.
As a musical figure, even if Zao Wou-Ki wanted to achieve something in music, he could have opened up another path and there was no need to "invade" Michael Jackson's territory.
To be honest, apart from the fact that Zao Wou-ki is better than MJ in terms of musical foundation and voice, in terms of understanding of modern music, especially the creativity of music, Zao Wou-ki is actually very weak. Because he does not have the American 60-70
With his life experience in that era, he didn't know what Americans liked. What he had in his mind was nothing more than Chinese tradition and modern technology or ultra-modern technology. Although he also had other nutrients, he couldn't say he was superior to anyone.
Because of this arrangement, this concert truly became Zao Wou-Ki's personal concert, because all the works were decided by him and were in line with his aesthetics. Although the singing method also spanned the so-called bel canto and national music.
, the three main areas of the parade, but obviously Americans don’t think so, because this is really a “hodgepodge” with everything in it. Fortunately, the theme is clear, and they are all spiritual food such as folk songs and love songs, plus processing
The craftsmanship is good, and in the end it tastes pretty good.
This is a concert in the Kennedy Center Concert Hall, not a square concert or a personal concert in a stadium. Therefore, this concert is destined to be elegant, beautiful, quiet, and artistic, rather than lively or crazy.
Interactive.
However, Zao Wou-ki's music concert still opened up a way for the future development of music, that is, when he sang the theme song "Dream Boat" which he wrote and composed himself, he used the fourth singing method, which Zao Wou-ki did not
To name this singing method, the American media reported the next day that they gave it a name called "Starry Sky Singing Method". If a Chinese person named it, they would definitely think of the four words "Xianle", because this singing method is really spacey and spiritual.
It’s so misty!
"Dream Boat" is the first song composed by Zao Wou-Ki alone, and it may be the last song he writes. In this song, he uses a symbolic method to describe the human exploration of nature, exploration of the universe, and exploration of the world in the history of civilization.
The historical journey of destiny, and implicitly points the future of mankind to the starry sky.
Generally speaking, when we listen to music works, if we can get an "ethereal" impression, it is either in some later instrumental music or electronic sounds, or in the treble part of some female voices, or through some technical means.
However, Zao Wou-Ki's "starry sky singing" is the sound that comes from his mouth. The height is never lower than that of any soprano. When many boys sing the high notes, they are most likely to slip into the female voice, which is the so-called falsetto.
However, even when Zao Wou-Ki sings the highest part, he still has the purest male voice, but it has an obvious ethereal and ethereal flavor.
Well, even if Zao Wou-Ki is a monk, the treble part is not difficult for him. Even if he says that the tiles on the roof will fall down when he sings, some people will believe it. But, what about the bass part, how does he handle it and how does he sing it?
This is the fundamental reason why Zao Wou-Ki was able to create a style of singing on his own. The bass part is not the sound of any human voice that people have ever heard, because it also has an ethereal and ethereal flavor. Some people may say, that
Isn't it just the miserable voice in many ghost movies? This statement is incorrect. Zhao Wuji's starry sky singing style is not scary, but a truly beautiful voice.
In fact, we already know similar situations. For example, if you climb a mountain or travel to an empty valley, and you suddenly roar loudly, you will find that feeling, echo, and spirit; but, the real
The sound coming out of the starry sky is diffuse, wavy, vague, ethereal, and traceless.
It's as if you are standing in an endless wilderness, with no one around for five kilometers, but you hear a person's singing, a very beautiful voice that comes from a far away unknown source. Indeed, listening to this kind of voice is the easiest to let go.
The two words that come to mind are: starry sky.
This singing method is actually also influenced by Michael Jackson. His space dance steps greatly inspired Zao Wou-Ki. In terms of music alone, Michael Jackson was Zao Wou-Ki's teacher.
However, after Zao Wou-ki's "Dream Boat" and the concert album were released, many people began to imitate and learn this "starry sky singing method". Unfortunately, no matter how they imitated, they could not find the "starry sky singing method".
