Chapter 122: The Taste of Love
Shaida was surprised to find that watching the Cosgaard show by herself and watching the Cosgaard show with Fantacia had a completely different effect.
In the past, she watched almost every performance of Kosgaard, but she just felt that the dance was so beautiful and good, and even stood up and imitated it, and she never had such a deep understanding of the real excellence of Kosgaard as she does today.
Kosgaard danced just as beautifully, and it can be said that this first performance in the land of the West put more effort into it, so it looked even more beautiful. But when I watched from Fantasia's side, I suddenly realized that everything was not as simple as it seemed.
Even the simplest, most effortless movements shimmer like gold under Fantasia's analysis. Every movement that seems easy requires a lot of control to support it, which means that the actor has to be very hard to make the audience look effortless.
Before, many things were just scratching the surface, but today, for the first time, Vantacia gave her a somewhat deep understanding of how good Konstantin Sakalov really is.
"Sakalov's bounce is very good, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it at a glance." "But his jumps are never very high, and that's what I admire a lot." ”
"Jumping?"
"If he wants to, he can be the tallest dancer in the world. But his jumps are always within a limit, and he values the perfection of his control, so that his dance can always maintain such stability and balance. ”
A very valuable quality in life is to understand one's own talents, but not be confused by such talents, and embark on the road of drilling the horns. Sometimes, giving up in moderation can lead to greater brilliance.
Being able to become the "world's highest dancer" will also go down in history, and there is such a record on the stage now. Konstantin Sakalov knew that he had such qualifications, but he did not hesitate to give up the pursuit of it.
He gave up the height of the jump, but gained a greater breadth of the dance, and thus had the unattainable precision and otherworldly control of the body that everyone admired.
Sometimes, even Gray Fantacia thinks about it himself, and thinks that this quality is very valuable, especially at Sakalov's age.
It is at an age of vitality and competitiveness that can make such a calm and holistic choice, which can only be based on one point - a true and infinite love for dance.
At the same time, he has infinite confidence in himself and knows how to do it in order to better coexist with the stage.
All of this was something that Shaida had never imagined, and now that she understands what Vantacia said, she can't help but feel excited when she goes to see Constantine's dance.
Kosgaard is really so good, much better than he imagined!
Fantasia's explanation is indeed very subtle, as if in that understatement, it gave her a different pair of eyes and made her start to observe the world from another perspective.
Is this the way Vantacia sees the world? Xia Ida vaguely felt very admired.
However, after the lecture continued for a while, it stopped for some reason. Vantacia fell into a long silence, as if jumping out of the role of "narrator", and began to watch the live broadcast of the show with Shaida in silence.
When she first stopped, Xia Ida was still a little unaccustomed to it, thinking about why he didn't talk about it. But after all, her mental power was focused on the performance, and Konstantin's few beautiful movements on the screen completely attracted her attention, and she didn't pay much attention to the occurrence of this kind of wrongness.
It's just that I don't know if it's because of Fantasia's explanation, but when Shaida quietly watched Konstantin's dance, she also vaguely felt that his dance seemed to be different from the video she had seen before.
It seems to have an indescribable softness.
When I turned on the TV, the live broadcast was already halfway through, and despite the reluctance, the live broadcast ended soon after.
Konstantin stood on the stage, smiling and gracefully closing the curtain. The audience applauded thunderously, and flowers were thrown onto the stage one by one. People stood for a long time, and the cheers were endless.
Because the audience was so enthusiastic, Konstantin was summoned over and over again for a curtain call, no less than four or five times.
Shaida's heart was beating with joy, and she almost wanted to applaud Konstantin together. But Fantasia, who was beside her, was too quiet, which caused her a little unease.
Only then did I remember that Vantacia didn't seem to have spoken for a long time.
Shaida turned her head to look at him, only to see him sunk in silence on the couch, as if thinking about something. It wasn't a look of concentration, but rather a fugue in the sky. Shaida had never seen such an expression before, as if it shouldn't belong to him at all.
There was a different kind of charm in this expression, and there seemed to be a hint of melancholy between his eyebrows.
The music on the live TV suddenly stopped, and the sound of people talking was heard, startling Shaida.
After a closer look, I found that it was the end of the performance, and the live broadcast switched to the interview stage.
I don't know which master or expert was interviewed, but in short, the person was old, gray-haired, and spoke elegantly, and he seemed to have a very convincing power.
The content of the interview should be Konstantin's impressions of his first performance in the land of the West.
The interviewees talked about Konstantin's technical characteristics, and the praise was full of praise, but many of the points in it were exactly the same as what Vantacia had said when he watched the performance just now, which further strengthened the persuasiveness of these comments. Shaida listened attentively and felt very happy. Someone praised Kosgaard so sincerely that she was also happy.
"We are very happy to see that Sakalov's dance, at this new stage, has added new elements." The expert continued to talk eloquently, "Although this is an excellent actor, after all, he is very young and his life experience is not rich enough, which is reflected in the dance, which seems to have a singularity similar to 'purity'. This time, we are pleased to see that Sakalov has made great strides in emotional expression, which makes his dance expressiveness more layered, deeper and more substantial. I'm sure that many of you who have watched the show will feel the same way as me - in Sakalov's new work, this strong expression of emotions seems to make us experience the 'taste of love'! ”
"The taste of love"? Shaida was a little confused. This is something that Vantacia has not commented on at all, and she has not experienced it, and it seems that it is still an expert.
All in all, Kosgaard's dance skills are improving!
The screen switched moments, and suddenly in the center of the screen is Konstantin's handsome face with a smile.
