Yang Liping, a famous dance performance artist and known as the "Peacock Princess", highly praised him for starring in the dance "Golden Face" of the 2022 CCTV Spring Festival Gala: "I think 'Da Zhu' is a life that loves dance. Liu Bang, played by him in "Ten Faces Ambush", the prince he played in "Pingtan Yingxiang", and the priest in "The Sacrifice of Spring". So young, only in his 20s, spanning a lot and excelling.
He is a dreamer who came out of the countryside, spoke with the body language of modern people, interpreted ancient culture with his soul, and had no hesitation - "Da Zhu". Many people know him because of Hunan Satellite TV's gold medal column "Dance Storm"; more people know him because of the creative dance "Golden Face" of CCTV Spring Festival Gala.
"Da Zhu", formerly known as Zhu Fengwei, is an independent dancer and the first winner of the gold medal in the modern dance group of the 12th "Lotus Award" in China, who has studied in the Culture and Art School of Shangqiu Vocational and Technical College and the School of Continuing Education of Beijing Dance Academy, and studied under Mr. Yang Liping, a famous dance performance artist in the mainland and known as the "Peacock Princess". Starred in Yang Liping's dance drama "Ten Faces Ambush", "Spring Festival", "Pingtan Reflection" and other excellent works. Choreographed and starred in excellent dance works such as the modern dance "One"; the modern dance "Feng Nian" and the creative dance "Golden Face" landed on the 2022 Henan Province and CCTV Spring Festival Gala.
He is a diligent dancer who cannot extricate himself by mistake.
Zhu Fengwei was born in a small mountain village in northern Anhui Province, grew up in Xiayi County, Eastern Henan, and was sent to a martial arts school by his family at the age of 11, starting a two-year martial arts career of "winter training three nine, summer training three volts". At the age of 15, he was admitted to Shangqiu Culture and Art School to study dance, and under the leadership of teachers such as Zhang Hua, Zhang Nan, Wang Jianwei, etc., he painstakingly learned classical dance and folk dance, and also participated in the Henan Provincial Dance Competition on behalf of the school during the school and won the second prize.
Zhu Fengwei said proudly: "In the art school met a lot of excellent teachers, the biggest gain is to meet Teacher Zhang Hua, Teacher Zhang from my height, body rhyme and other conditions feel that I am a good seedling, according to my physical and professional conditions, the use of Saturday and Sunday selfless dedication to give me extra lessons, counseling and meticulous care in life; although I understand the concept of dance is relatively shallow, I just think that dance is to practice forks, lower waist, rotation, jumping, etc. every day, but in life and professional learning, I think I'm the luckiest one! ”
Diligent dancers
He is an innovative dancer with an invisal view and a deep understanding of life.
The best is not necessarily the most appropriate; the most suitable is the real best. Lin Huaimin, a master of modern Chinese dance choreography, said: "Creation is when you hear a distant call, or feel a fragrance, and then go into the forest to find it." From an independent dancer to a director of a "dance theater", the dual identities are seamlessly switched, bringing a high degree of unity of thinking and behavior to the work. Zhu Fengwei said frankly: This is not only a big leap for himself, but also a value embodiment of showing that he understands life and understands the audience.
Dancing is a "disease", persistence is a medicine, but also to have a certain talent. At the age of 27, Zhu Fengwei directed and starred in his debut modern dance "One", which appeared at the Shanghai International Dance Center and the 2020 Sichuan Contemporary Art Performance Season. This delicate and warm, true and touching grand narrative dance drama, from the creation and performance, not only received the kind guidance and encouragement of teacher Yang Liping, but also received unanimous praise from the audience. Zhu Fengwei said with emotion: "I want to be more excellent than before, maybe this time the creation is different from other choreographers, but this is a work that I have choreographed and directed with great care, for me personally, I have surpassed my previous self." ”
Innovative dancer
He is a lucky dancer who is at ease with his own day.
On the stage, he performed a perfect performance one by one, exquisitely carved; offstage, he studied and practiced diligently and diligently; he was not only the guardian of modern dance art, but also became a lucky person with the ambition of "blue wisps of the road, to open up the mountains and forests". In 2014, Zhu Fengwei first stood at the head of the strong hand, successfully held hands with the Beijing Modern Dance Company, experienced the regular days of daily training and promotion, creation and absorption, performance and presentation, as a newcomer to the dance troupe, he constantly learned, thought and adjusted himself, and even practiced until the bones were punched out, and he has always insisted. These efforts were seen by everyone, and it was not long before he received an invitation to play the role of "Flower" in "Three More Rains" and performed on the same stage with his idols Gong Zhonghui and Xiao Fuchun.
The American modernist dancer Helen Tommynes summed up the difference in modern dance: "Every artist (i.e., a modern dance dancer) is creating his own code. Zhu Fengwei is no exception, just as he likes the films of Jia Zhangke and Takeshi Kitano very much in his daily life, likes the dances of Aku Ham and Hildi Rabbi, he likes an unrestrained life, and he prefers the release of imaginative dances.
In 2017, he left the Beijing Modern Dance Company to become an independent dancer and was recommended by Teacher Gong Zhonghui to Mr. Yang Liping, who is selecting the dance drama "Impression of Pingtan". A sonorous and powerful recommendation, an impromptu self-choreographed dance, once again achieved the path of the lucky Zhu Fengwei dancer. Flying to Kunming, talking very happily, and successfully signing a contract, Zhu Fengwei starred in a series of dance drama works such as "Pingtan Yingxiang" and "Spring Festival", becoming Yang Liping's "royal protagonist". It all seems to go incredibly well, it seems to feel the unique charm of the Law of Attraction, but it makes us feel logical.
Lucky dancer
Behind all the "luck" is the effort and persistence that you can't see. Zhu Fengwei said: "I was fortunate to meet Teacher Yang in that year, not only gave me a platform to shine on the stage, but also let me see her struggle and development of the dance art, personally felt her professionalism from the costume, shape, dance posture one by one, if there is no platform, I may be buried in the crowd." "Because I like it, I practice hard; because I pursue, I insist; because I give, I bloom."
As Yang Liping's royal male number one, the contestant who let Liu Xianhua stand and watch the performance in Hunan Satellite TV's "Dance Storm Season 1", the winner of the first gold medal in the 12th Chinese Dance "Lotus Award" modern dance, Henan Satellite TV, CCTV Spring Festival Gala... After the aura, Zhu Fengwei pursued the art of dance, allowing performance art, installation art, lighting, sound, and even rap and singing to integrate into the interpretation of modern dance, but not separated from its real life, each time presenting a new, diverse and unique "dance theater" to the audience.
He is a tuk-tuk dancer who lives and believes in ceaseless faith.
The creative dance "Golden Face", which "Meets Each Other in Ancient and Modern Times", fully blooms the golden face life of "Da Zhu". In 2021, the mainland Sanxingdui archaeology restarted, causing global archaeological attention, becoming an annual news event; in 2022, the CCTV Spring Festival Gala creative dance "Golden Face" made a stunning debut, director Yu Baimei led the program team, Yang Liping's exquisite carving of the actors, Zhu Fengwei appeared on stage with the image of a bronze liren, tasting the mystery and agility of Sanxingdui, combining the truth and thickness of a large number of historical materials, based on the whimsy and wonderful ideas of pure love, transformed into a contemporary girl (played by Wang Xi) through time and space, After encountering the golden-faced boy (played by Zhu Fengwei), he burst out a romantic love spark and joined hands to escape between heaven and earth, recreating the fantasy, beautiful and beautiful world of the ancient Shu civilization like a scroll. Lead actor Zhu Fengwei said on the creation of the work: "In the second creation, I must find the historical thickness of the bronze standing person and the golden face, rather than being taken away by 'visual technology'. "This is the most difficult performance state he pursues, which is very natural and coincides with his personal dance philosophy."
"The Book of Poetry, Zhou Song, and Feng Nian" "There are many years of abundance, but also high, trillions and millets." For the wine is liquor, 烝畀祖妣. With the Qiabai Li, the blessings are all over the place. "It records the hard life of the ancient Chinese ancestors who endured in the fertile soil of mountains and rivers in a rare year. And Zhu Fengwei played the sacrifice in the creative modern dance "Feng Nian" at the 2022 Spring Festival Gala in Henan Province, through the vigorous and powerful body language, the changing and solid loess, the square and rhymed oracle bone symbols, the golden wheat waves, leading us through time and space, appreciating the rough freehand and free wildness of modern dance art, feeling the tenacity and growth of the vitality in the passionate interpretation, feeling the ardent desire and joy of praying for blessings and harvests in the "Good Year", and also interpreting "plotting in people, accomplishing things in heaven" The implication of .
Zhu Fengwei said: "'Good Year' in the Oracle period is the meaning of 'grain ripening', the day the grain matures is also the New Year. As a sacrificer, I understood that the connotation of the oracle bone word 'Nian' is to pray for blessings, to mark the ancestral land complex. From Oracle to crazy wheat waves, I pray with my powerful body that the new year will be smooth and rainy, and the grain will be abundant. It is a great honor and a great significance to be able to play such a work with such a thick history and culture, and to spread Chinese culture and Central Plains culture. ”
Just like the theme of the original modern dance drama "25㎡ Rhapsody", which will open a national tour in 2022, Zhu Fengwei, as the lead actor and choreographer, "hindsight" with his tireless pursuit and persistence in dance art, reverence and respect for stage life; with the responsibility and responsibility for the excellent traditional culture of the prosperous motherland, he will definitely let the flower of dance art bloom "crazy" in the limited life journey.
