Chapter 80: Realistic Version of "Dance Out of My Life"
Maybe it's because there is a backbone of Quan Lei, or the members of the dance company are really unwilling to be left behind!
After a night's rest and mental adjustment, the next day, Qi Lei and his exclusive dance troupe members all changed into a relatively relaxed and happy mood, and sat upstairs in the dining room to have breakfast together.
Millet porridge, fried dough sticks, big steamed buns, sauerkraut......
These breakfasts, which were commonplace in his home country, can now be eaten by Qi Lei and his dance troupe members in a foreign country......
It can be said that what Qi Lei and his party eat now is not as simple as a breakfast. What they eat is a kind of homesickness, a kind of compatriot righteousness, and a taste of the motherland!
Soon it was a pleasant breakfast time, and the meal was finished in a relaxed and happy atmosphere.
After that, Mr. Qi and his dancers spent the day touring several neighborhoods centered on Chinatown, as well as some places in New York City where street culture performances are easily visible.
Their purpose is very simple, that is, to see for themselves the world of hip-hop and the purest American street culture!
Watching a street singer play a guitar in front of a subway station, watching a mime entertainer on Fifth Avenue with passers-by, watching America's young generation play street basketball near Madison Square, watching a street clown walk through shops on Broadway amused all the passers-by he could see......
At the end of the day, Qi and his dancers had seen a lot about American street culture. And this qiē was shot into the lens one by one by one in the hands of Qi Lei, the newly bought professional DV.
This is a very important thing for Genie and his exclusive dance troupe members! Because I want my own group to really understand a foreign culture quickly and reach a certain level of understanding, and integrate it into my artistic bones...... This is not something that can be done by simply walking around and seeing!!
Naturally, at this time, there is a DV that can shoot some of the most wonderful pictures seen during the day, and go back to the accommodation at night to sit together and watch them, and discuss some of the most wonderful passages......
Discuss the most wonderful and engaging jokes of each person in the picture when they perform, and what they can absorb and learn the most.
During this period, some fresh and alternative opinions put forward by Qi Lei made everyone feel both novel and practical! ……
For example, there is a scene when Qi Lei shoots a group of young people playing basketball on the street basketball court and a group of little girls jumping rope on the street.
Everyone in the dance troupe was surprised and puzzled, but when Qi Lei analyzed the reason, everyone suddenly felt a kind of admiration and love for Qi Lei, the future boss and partner of his group.
Agent explained: "Guys, although you look at these pictures and think it's commonplace, we can often see them in our lives, right? But I want to tell you here, don't underestimate these little details of our lives. Because often the future is what makes us ......"
But when a group of supporting dancers listened to Qi Lei's words, even Nie Yongyuan and Ji Ning, who were excavated by Qi Lei, also felt a deep disbelief and doubt about his words.
However, when Qi Lei stood up and performed the last dance immediately, all the supporting dancers widened their eyes and opened their mouths, and they couldn't say anything more questioning or disbelieving!
Maybe seeing this, everyone must be familiar with this scene, right?
Yes, this picture was indeed deliberately filmed by Qi Lei. And this idea is actually an idea that was reminded by the classic plot of the famous Hollywood actress Jessica when she created her own unique dance steps in a classic song and dance movie "Sweet and Spicy Dance" that he watched before.
The purpose is actually very simple, because the dancers of Reviver's dance troupe are experiencing the same difficulties as Jessica in "Sweet and Spicy Dance".
At this time, Qi Lei and his dance troupe's dancers must find a new path to broaden everyone's horizons and develop their literary and artistic careers.
Therefore, one of the reasons why Qi Lei took this opportunity to do this was to help the dancers of his dance troupe find confidence. …,
Second, in fact, I also want to tell these people a truth...... That is the street dance, which is a comprehensive and inclusive dance. And the person who dances it must maintain a mentality and behavior that accommodates all rivers when dancing his body.
After all, China and the United States have different cultures and environments. Therefore, after thousands of years of cultural precipitation, ordinary Chinese citizens are better even if they are open-minded. The special humility and reserve that is buried deep in their bones will still be as easy to pick up as we are exposed to and learn new things, not as easy as ordinary citizens in the United States.
And in the United States, they have been advocating freedom since the beginning of modern development. No matter what people all over the world say about the word "freedom" in the American population behind this...... It is undeniable that these foreign Uncle Sams are indeed much better than our Chinese people in learning new things and using them for their own purposes!
Of course, all this is relative! ……
Therefore, Qi Lei can only tell his dancers in this way: only in this way can the dance of street dance have more entertainment factors. So as to make it more ornamental and entertaining, and at the same time make the hip-hop dancers cooler, more dazzling, more charming and moving!
So that night, after Qi Lei and they finally finished the day's work and went back to rest, all the members of the dance troupe had a feeling in their hearts, a feeling of going from strange to familiar and then to confidant with Qi Lei!
Because the dancers had never been in contact with and cooperated with Qi Lei before, they felt a sense of strangeness to Qi Lei's qiē.
After today's day's trip, and after returning to the accommodation at night to watch the DV shot during the day, Qi Lei said a point-to-the-point opinion and demonstrated the performance in person to explain the reason...... After all these factors were added together, the dancers at this time finally began to feel a little convinced of Qi Lei!
……
Since then, in the week of waiting for the New York Street Dance Competition, in order to understand and learn American street culture faster and better, so that everyone can meet the upcoming New York Street Dance Competition with better state and better performances.
In order to see the street culture performances that can only be seen in movies and television on weekdays, Qi Lei and others have really walked all over the streets and alleys of New York!
They have witnessed and experimented with a variety of American street culture. Hip-hop, street basketball, rap, clown pantomime...... Whatever they could think of and see, Qi Lei and others had a personal experience with them one by one.
And Qi Lei filmed all these scenes one by one, and used the night time in his own temporary residence to use the computer to carefully edit this fragment into a 41-minute documentary.
Because it was the first time for Qi Lei to personally capture the camera, he was ...... for his first screen work Even though he was shooting with a hobby mentality at the beginning, but later when Qi Lei became more and more familiar with the feeling of grabbing the camera, he knew that he had begun to use all the shooting techniques he knew very carefully, and he was very serious about shooting it as a film!
So, when this 41-minute film was carefully edited by Qi Lei, and it was taken out for his dance troupe to watch.
Nie Yongyuan and Ji Ning were really speechless about Qi Lei for a while! ……
"It's not so much that the 41-minute VCR is an improvisation made by an amateur director. It's better to say that a director with professional skills who has not yet become famous makes a very interesting real documentary! ”
"So talented!"
"Wonderful, so well shot!"
"Wow...... Qi Dada, your camera is so beautiful! ”
"After watching this VCR, even I, who doesn't like to play this thing on weekdays, want to immediately pick up a DV machine and go out on the street to shoot randomly!"
These words are what Nie Yongyuan and his other dancers really thought after watching this VCR!
Although he said a word of praise, when Qi Lei heard it in his heart, he was as shocked as if he had been empowered! ……
"yes, I thought it was just a VCR! Can...... It's such a good film, why can't I make it my first film!? Moreover, although only 41 minutes of video was filmed now. But then there is a more exciting hip-hop dance competition waiting for me to shoot, no! So what if... If I ...... all of these" Thinking about it, Qi Lei had a thought in his heart, and began to turn over the river and Haiti in his body!
This...... Isn't it the real version of "Dance Out of My Life"!?
That night, when Qi Lei fell asleep, the last thought that came to his mind, the only thing he could imagine was this sentence!!
PS: It's better to ask for tickets and ask for collection!!
And thank you very much Fengfei Da for such a strong support on the cloud today, thank you!!
