Chapter 388 You've Got a Nutcracker in Your Brain! (Please subscribe ~ monthly pass!)
Tao Zi was indeed a little angry.

Originally, it was fine during the choreography discussion.

It was really enjoyable at first.

Many of the ideas of the two sides coincided with each other, and the progress was very rapid.

Until I came to the place where Chinese style was involved.

The two began to clash.

If there is conflict, it is common.

But Li Shaojie's request was not only incomprehensible, but even a little too confusing.

In terms of music, Tao Zi did not dictate.

Although the foundation of the music is purely Westernized, and the pentatonic scale is not deliberately highlighted, it is just that there is a little bit of a hazy feeling.

It's like looking at China from a foreign perspective.

As for the design of the dance, Li Shaojie made a request.

Don't add elements of Chinese dance, the basics are still to use ballet, and you can't even use Chinese ballet.

Dance movements must be beautiful and have a certain quality, and on the basis of not using Chinese dance, to express a hazy Chinese style, but the overall texture must be Western.

Simply put, that is.
You have to make a steak, but you have to taste a little bit of Chinese food, which makes people feel Chinese, but the essence is still Western food, and the steak doesn’t matter if it looks good, the method and style can’t be Western Europe, it has to be Northern Europe of.

Then there are a lot of other subsidiary conditions of wah wah wah.

The more Tao Zi listened, the more angry she became.

I'm afraid you are not embarrassing others by stepping on the horse.

I really want to give you two punches.

This feeling is really a bit like a musician who is engaged in dance, pointing fingers from the basis of dance.

Yes, sister arts.

But this cross-industry finger pointing is really a bit against the rules.

But Tao Zi knew that this was not really Li Shaojie's overstepping.

This kind of cross-professional cooperation often encounters similar problems.

Because dancers think about the whole art based on the dance itself.

Musicians, on the other hand, are based on the music itself.

This overall art is neither dance nor music, but a combination of both, a composite art.

Dance is to express music with body, to visualize abstract music.

But considering the whole from different angles, there will always be different conclusions.

It's like novel writers and screenwriters.

The author of the novel can imagine as much as he wants, everything serves the plot, but the screenwriter needs to consider the ability of the actors and the actual conditions. The author of the novel does not need to consider the information of the character's dialogue, and can rely on "narration", but the screenwriter cannot, and the screenwriter must consider it as much as possible. Dialogue, demeanor, expressions, props, to spread information.

Therefore, it is very common to have differences in handling.

At this time, the two are like this.

"I explain the truth in this way, you should understand!"

Li Shaojie took a few deep breaths.

"We can be propagandists of Chinese culture, but we must not be dazzled by Chinese style. Chinese style is good, but not everything with Chinese style is good!!"

"."

Tao Zi bit her lip.

TMD, I understand the truth.

But with all your demands, are you sure you have nothing against me? !

This is not just a question of Chinoiserie.

This is the work of a fairy tale.

In the quarters of this section, an anthropomorphic plot of a European upper-class tea table is described.

Spanish dance music represents chocolate, Arabic dance music represents coffee, Chinese dance music represents tea, and finally, with Russian dance music, the unrestrained and joyful Trepak heralds the excitement of dancing on the table.

Almost all requirements are similar.

It means "take its meaning and discard its form".

MD dog B! !
Originally, this choreography, in Tao Zi's view, was very simple.

Just play the tunes of their respective styles, then use Spanish dance, Arabic dance, Chinese dance in order, and finally end with Russian dance.

Isn't this the end? !
It can also highlight the customs of various places and spread a little Chinese culture along the way.

But why is this person's request beating around the bush?
"But such words"

Tao Zi's chest tightness, embarrassment to the point of non-existent light began to hurt violently.

"I can only think about dance moves first. There will be a lot of requirements for dance moves. Your music may have a lot of details to be changed!"

"Oh, it's not a big problem!"

Li Shaojie raised his head.

"A mediocre composer is limited by the many demands of choreography!!"

"I'm different, I'm a genius."

"?"

As soon as these words came out, Tao Zi Haoxuan was not pissed off.

How good.

Co-author You are not mediocre, I am mediocre, right? !
Tell the truth.

Being a choreographer at National Ballet of China is really not a human thing.

There are many tasks above.

What Li Shaojie said about the "Chinese style bewildered people" actually mostly came from above.

They will not consider it from an artistic or professional perspective, and all considerations are based on political goals.

Therefore, there are often various requests for "Chinese cultural bewilderment".

Force yourself to add Chinese elements.

If you can't add it, you have to add it! !
Because of this, Tao Zi was pressured by the top, pressured by netizens, and pressured by the dance troupe.

This time, I finally feel that I can play freely.

Tao Zi suddenly found out.

This is very suitable for adding Chinese elements.

Then I am good at this! !
It is not easy to have a chance to show my research for so many years
Then, it was rejected by Li Shaojie.

Instead, go the other way.

Not only B has many things to do, but also takes a long way.

This horse Tao Zi is not willing! !
If you don't engage in the simple way, you will also reach the destination.

You want to make a big circle?

Then tell me that you went around this big circle to draw a very beautiful image of a cow and a horse?

Isn't this just a serious illness?
Moreover, even if Li Shaojie explained it, he understood
Tao Zi still felt that it was like a serious illness to deal with it like this.

The most annoying thing is
Li Shaojie actually said that he is a Chinese style madman?

I can't thank you enough for that.

When it comes to being angry, the person who made you angry will always say something better.

Li Shaojie was also in a hurry.

These things are too laborious to explain left and right.

So, while thinking about it, I couldn't help but start chattering.

"Sister Tao, the name of our work is "The Nutcracker", not "The Nutcracker", why can't I get my head around it?!"

hum!
In an instant, Tao Zi was on top.

The blood in this brain rushed to the top of Tianling Gai.

Nutcracker?

You are the only one with a walnut in your head!
Thanks to her background in art, and nearly forty years old, she is cultivated, self-restraining, and tolerant.

Otherwise, you just heard this when you were angry?

Immediately let Li Shaojie understand whose forehead this walnut is pinching.

"Hoohoo."

After all, Tao Zi forcibly suppressed her emotions.

The top is the top, and the reason is still there.

If you continue to quarrel, you can only be the one who gets angry.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, make it up! Make it up!!"

It doesn't sound like I'm going to choreograph at all.

It's like preparing to take the blame.

However, for Tao Zi.
The problem is not big.

After so many years, is there still not enough blame for me?

Laugh to death.

In this position, you have to recite it if you don’t recite it! !

"That's right! You have to trust me!!"

Li Shaojie heaved a sigh of relief.

After arguing for so long, it's finally settled.

Although my own request is indeed hellish.

But Li Shaojie believed that Teacher Tao Zi would understand.

It's all for the work! !

Shaking his head, Li Shaojie suddenly felt a little tired.

Indeed, the conditions are harsh.

Indeed, there is nothing wrong with Tao Zi's understanding, and he can do that.

Originally.

On a table, chocolate, coffee, and tea become spirits and come alive. In the plot of dancing, it is possible to focus on describing the cultures of various countries.

But the reason not to do this is for the overall story texture.

because
This table is the table of TM European family.

When you step on the table of a European family, things become fine, and you speak Chinese when you speak Chinese?
Those who don't know think that the whole world will be liberated in 2500.

It has to be a bit of a local flavor, but the overall texture should be mainly Western-style! !
Highlight some of their own characteristics, but it does not mean to overwhelm the guests.

Fortunately, the tone is still set.

Next, it is the choreography, rehearsal, and the final part that allows the orchestra to practice first.

The training camp can already start.

Li Shaojie packed up the relevant documents and walked out of the office.

As soon as the door was opened, an exclamation was heard.

"oops!!"

A little head fell in.

The lighting outside was dim.

The owner of this small-headed melon was also wearing a black exercise uniform.

It looks very scary.

"What the hell is that?!"

Li Shaojie was taken aback.

"Yeah, passing by, passing by, hehehehehe"

The little head raised his head, and Li Shaojie saw that it was actually Wang Shiying, the head of the National Ballet of China.

"Well, I'm off to dance practice!"

Wang Shiying turned around quickly.

"Sisters, let's go!!"

"Come on, come on!"

"."

Li Shaojie poked his head out and found a group of little girls Yingying and Yanyan fleeing the scene in a panic.

Glancing at the time.

09:30 in the evening.

You step on the horse and talk about dancing.

Too diligent, almost tears.

"."

Sure enough, gossip is a natural companion talent for women
Leaving the Central Ballet, looking at the sign at the door, Li Shaojie sighed.

The National Ballet of China, also known as the National Ballet of China.

Cooperating with this big brother is not a simple matter.

Since its establishment, the purpose of the troupe has been to "introduce classic Western classical and modern ballet works of various genres, explore the way of combining Western ballet with Chinese traditional culture, and create ballet works with Chinese national characteristics."

It can't be said to be a bewildered person, after all, this is the National Ballet of China, and these purposes are the obligations that should be fulfilled.

Can be in, can be outside.

In the housekeeping repertoire, there is such a very classic red theme as "The Red Detachment of Women".

In recent years, the Chinese national cultural ballet works that have been focused on development are also very good.

For example, the theme of Confucius, the theme of ritual and music, the theme of Dunhuang, and even the theme of martial arts.

Really great.

But still the same.

Because of this path, and because there are too many leaders who mainly focus on political goals, Li Shaojie is also under a lot of pressure when he seeks cooperation from Zhongba.

Art is art, it must be pure.

But in the end, we still have to face some practical problems.

The reason why Teacher Tao Zi quarreled with him was also because of too much pressure from above.

It’s impossible not to do it, but it’s even worse if you are in a hurry.

We need to be steady and steady, but we also need to be efficient, and we need to understand how to do it.

The pressure is easy to get under.

Sometimes, it is indeed easy to make mistakes. Most of the works that explain Chinese culture are indeed well received, and they are particularly popular and of high quality.

But there are also some works that are easy to be criticized as "Chinese style bewitching people".

In many cases, it is unnecessary to add Chinese elements, but for various reasons, forcibly adding them may seem nondescript.

Li Shaojie shook his head.

Hi.

It's hard for everyone
This is not simply a question of leaders pointing fingers, let alone a question of whether they are in a daze or not.

Too complicated.

Faced with the current problem of poor publicity of traditional Chinese culture, and then faced with the turbulent venting of foreign culture into the domestic market.

The culture war is already in full swing.

This stuff is too important, and if you look it up on the Internet, you will know that there are quite a few people with problems in their thinking.

Indeed, there is no time and space for you to play steadily.

But had to be steady.

Therefore, sometimes being anxious, making mistakes, or using too much force is really unavoidable.

For those who don’t understand the inner problems, worry or trust.
But when you really come to Li Shaojie's perspective, when you think about broader issues, and see all kinds of problems inside, there is only one feeling.

[Wotama's mentality is collapsing]

The pressure is really high.

On the way back to the hotel, Li Shaojie's mind was running wildly.

The above is the above cultural strategic goals.

This is the trend.

And I also have my own ideas about my own development, ideals, and the way I promote Chinese culture.

This cooperation, in fact, can only be regarded as catching up.

Not really a conflict.

It can only be said that there are more or less signs and trends.

This sign may affect future programs.

We must think of ways in advance to avoid some problems as much as possible.

Gritting his teeth, Li Shaojie suddenly made a decision.

Damn it! !
For labor and capital, this "Nutcracker" will not involve too many external factors in the subsequent training camp.
I simply make a political work, a work of pure Chinese culture, and show it.

If you want to transfer, you must transfer! !

In this way, one is one, two is two, and each has its own purpose, so there will be no problem.

Li Shaojie immediately made a call.

Have a chat.

After almost confirming some problems and sharing the matter with the leaders, many things will be easy to handle.

Time flies, another week.

Afterwards, there was nothing to worry about.

The closed training for the entire "Nutcracker" cast has also begun!
The training camp is not just the imaginary things like piano practice, dance practice, performance planning, stage props and so on.

Others may not need it.

But the principals of your orchestra, several principals and main dancers of the dance troupe, as well as some directors related to stage design, costumes, etc. After getting the documents such as requirements, score, story background, and roles
You have to write a paper first!
As a result, the entire program group began to get busy.

　Coffee originated in Africa and was popular in Arabia. The English word coffee comes from the Arabic word Qahwa, which means "plant drink", so the Arabic dance music represents coffee.

　　As for why it is Spain that represents chocolate, because more than 1300 years ago, the Mayan Indians of Yoktan made a drink called chocolate with roasted cocoa beans.

　　Early chocolate was a greasy drink, because fried cocoa beans contained more than 50% fat, and people began to add flour and other starchy substances to the drink to reduce its greasyness.

　　In the early 16th century, the Spanish explorer Hernán Cortes discovered in Mexico that the local Aztec kings drank a drink made of cocoa beans, water and spices, which Cortes brought back in 1528 after tasting Spain, and planted cocoa trees on a small island in West Africa.

　　The Spaniards ground cocoa beans into powder, added water and sugar, and heated them to make a drink called "chocolate". Development, and soon its production method was learned by the Italians, and soon spread throughout Europe.

　　As for tea, we don't need to talk about that.

　　The influence of black tea on Europeans is actually very large
