Reborn superpower

Defining the concert as a "dream boat" is the result of Zao Wou-ki's careful consideration.In Western culture, the word "boat" is not only their destiny, but also their path.From "Noah's Ark" to "pirate", "ghost ship", and then to "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 also injects a new meaning, which is "dream".

This dream is not only the dream of human beings, 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 aspirations. If he was an ordinary reborn person, he would at most rely on historical trends and personal experience to seek some real benefits for himself or his family. This is indeed the case. On the same day, he decided to go to Fengshan Township to do some real things. He just didn't expect that there were people in Fengshan Township who were not on the right track with his father Zhao Dezheng.

But a set of [Utopia] system against the sky completely changed his direction and path, making him have to attach great importance to official position. Of course, also because of this [Utopia] system, in terms of ability, level, and state These aspects have greatly surpassed ordinary people, and they have the capital to "promote and get rich".

If an ordinary person says to others, I want to save the country and the people, and help the world, someone will definitely ask you, "Are you a Martian?" Because as long as you are a normal person, you will understand, that is too impossible!It is more likely that there will be "angry youths" who are not very polite, cursing: "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 at the same time realize this "dream". In addition, after nearly a century of tossing in China, there is also a tendency for people to change their minds. Make his ideas less difficult to realize.

Since he reached the level of "grandmaster" in several aspects of systematic study, although Zhao Wuji is still desperately mastering the knowledge of the system.But he already has enough energy to think about the function catalog of each subsystem.Because with the strengthening of Zao Wou-ki's self-protection ability, the conditions for exchanging technologies and products from the system are also gradually relaxed, and some new technology lists are displayed in front of his eyes one by one, giving Zao Wou-ki more confidence.

However, in the face of the system, which is like entering a supermarket-like assortment of technologies, Zao Wou-ki is also faced with some choices.For example, on the development path, whether it is better to be gradual or leapfrogging, many people in this era may say that leapfrogging is better, because we have fallen behind for too long; but only those who are reborn can understand that the Huaxia of later generations.Because of too much pursuit of efficiency, the country's economic aggregate has increased, but most people have not enjoyed enough benefits from it, and only then have the two hot words "efficiency" and "fairness" in later generations and how to deal with their relationship. .

But no matter what, the "dream" is certain, and Zao Wou-ki's "dream boat" has already launched and set sail, and because of this, there is the theme of this concert.Of course, in the eyes of others.Even if Zao Wou-ki's personal "dreams" are mixed in this "dream boat", they will think that such personal emotions are not much.

It's just that no one knows that Zao Wou-ki is actually a "lone traveler". The "Dream Boat" concert is his personal "Dream Declaration" to the world!

As for the sub-theme "Zao Wou-ki and the Chinese Young Artists Concert", Zao Wou-ki will naturally let the accompanying visiting erhu performer Xu Xiaoyun, guzheng performer Zhang Shuxuan, singer Bi Dawei, dancer Pei Shijia, young female singer Zhang Lan, etc. Five people came on stage to accompany him on the show.

These five people, this is also their first show abroad.Zao Wou-ki assigned a program to each of them, and another program co-starred with Zao Wou-ki, like this.They have two chances to play.These 10 programs are programs with local flavors in China. In addition, Zao Wou-ki personally selected four of the most representative folk songs in China, "Little River Flowing Water" and "Kangding Love Song" in the southwest region, and "Xintianyou" in the northwest region. , "Usuli Boat Song" in Northeast China, these four songs are suitable for male voices or male and female voices. Of course, there are many representative folk songs in China, such as "Jasmine Flower", but they are suitable for girls to sing, so this one is Sung by Zhang Lan, and even other folk songs, I can't take care of it for the time being.

As for "Ussuri Boat Song", it fits the theme of this concert "Dream Boat".

Because of this, Zao Wou-Ki tried his best to use "boat" as the theme in his music related to the western cultural background, such as Tchaikovsky's "June. Boat Song" (piano divertimento), Italy's Venice "Gondola". Boat Song" (folk song), Chopin's "Opus 60" (piano), Offenbach's "Boat Song" (duet, invited a female singer from the United States to perform on the same stage), Monkey Country's "Boat Song", also known as "Stars Suo, etc.

Although Zao Wou-ki did not have any favorable impressions of the Monkey Kingdom, the "Boat Song" of the Monkey Kingdom is one of the world's classic folk songs. Perhaps this is the only positive image of the Monkey Kingdom among the Chinese people.

This concert was held on the territory of the United States. Naturally, Zao Wou-ki could not forget the songs of the United States. He chose the songs of the United States. Zao Wou-ki finally defined it in "country folk songs". In this regard, Americans have many excellent works.

Also because of the theme of "Dream Boat", Zao Wou-ki did not touch songs in the genres of pop music, rock music, soul music, r&b, disco, hip hop, etc. In a sense, Michael Jackson is also a man who transcends time and space. Even if Zao Wou-Ki wants to achieve something in music, he can open up another road, and there is no need to "invade" Michael Jackson's territory.

To be honest, apart from Zao Wou-ki being stronger than MJ in terms of musical foundation and voice, Zao Wou-ki is actually quite weak in his understanding of modern music, especially in terms of musical creativity.Because he has no life experience in the 60s and 70s in the United States, he does not know what Americans like. What he has in his mind is nothing more than Chinese tradition and modern technology or ultra-modern technology. Although there are other nutrients, but It cannot be said that it has surpassed anyone.

Also because of this arrangement, this concert has truly become Zao Wou-ki's personal concert, because all the works are decided by him, and they are all in line with his aesthetics, although the singing style also transcends the so-called bel canto and national music. , parade, but obviously Americans don’t think so, because it’s really a “hodgepodge” with everything in it. Fortunately, the theme is clear. It’s all spiritual food such as folk songs and love songs, plus processing The craftsmanship is good, and in the end it tastes good.

This is a concert in the concert hall of the Kennedy Center, not a square concert or a personal concert in the stadium, so this concert is destined to be elegant, beautiful, quiet, and artistic, rather than lively and crazy. Interactive.

However, Zao Wou-ki's music concert opened up a path for the development of future music, that is, when he sang the theme song "Dream Boat" composed by himself, Zao Wou-ki did not use the fourth singing method. To name this singing method, the American media reported on the next day that they gave it a name called "Starry Sky Singing Method". If it was named by a Chinese, they would definitely think of the word "Xianle", because this singing method is really ethereal. Misty!

"Dream Boat" is the first song composed by Zao Wou-Ki alone, and it may be the last song he composed.In this song, he described the historical itinerary of humans exploring nature, the universe, and destiny in the history of civilization in a symbolic way, and implicitly pointed the future of mankind to the starry sky.

Generally speaking, when we listen to music works, if we can get the impression of "ethereal and ethereal", it is either in some instrumental music or electronic sounds of later generations, or the high-pitched parts of some female voices, or achieved through some technical means.

However, Zao Wou-ki's "Starry Sky singing" is the voice that comes out of his mouth. The height is by no means lower than any soprano. voice, but Zao Wou-Ki is the purest male voice even when he sings the highest part, but it has an obvious ethereal flavor.

Well, even if Zao Wou-Ki is a monk, the treble part is not difficult for him, even if it is said that the tiles on the roof will fall down when he sings, some people will believe it, but how does he handle the bass part and how to sing?

This is the fundamental reason why Zao Wou-ki was able to create a school of singing alone. The bass part is not the sound of any human voice that people have heard, because it also has an ethereal and ethereal taste. Some people may say, that Isn't it the miserable voice in many ghost movies?This statement is incorrect.Zao Wou-ki's singing in the starry sky is not scary, but a truly beautiful voice.

In fact, we have already known similar situations, for example, when you climb a mountain, or travel to an empty valley, you suddenly roar loudly, and you will find that feeling, echo, and some ethereal; but, the real The sound from the starry sky is diffuse, wavy, seemingly non-existent, ethereal and ethereal, with no trace to be found.

It is as if you are standing in an endless wilderness, and there are no people around five kilometers away, but you hear a person singing, a very beautiful voice from a far away unknown source.Indeed, listening to this sound, the two words that most easily remind you are: starry sky.

This way of singing is actually influenced by Michael Jackson, whose space dance was a great inspiration to Zao Wou-Ki.In terms of music alone, Michael Jackson is Zao Wou-ki's teacher.

However, after the release of Zao Wou-ki's "Dream Boat" and his concert album, many people began to imitate and learn this "starry sky singing". "a feeling of. (To be continued..)
