Since its launch for more than half a month, countless new and old fans have praised it and called "fairy fight". Ye Yin, Yang Kai and other past season champions gathered needless to say, Xiao Jie, who won three consecutive championships in the KOD International Street Dance Elite Challenge, has naturally become one of the "immortals" in the eyes of the audience.
As a "back to the pot meat", what exactly attracted Xiao Jie to join this new stage? How does he see the integration of street dance and other cultures in the show? Xiao Jie was interviewed by upstream reporters.
Although participating in "This! "Street Dance" is still the first time, but Xiao Jie has long been a "big god" in the street dance circle, especially in the category of "lock dance". In 2003, before moving from his hometown of Sichuan to Beijing, he was already fascinated by street dance. After arriving in Beijing, Xiao Jie entered the art school run by Capital Normal University and received two years of systematic dance training. This became the basis for him to stand on a higher stage in the future.
Since then, since winning the group dance championship of the "Dynamic Zone National Street Dance Competition" in 2005, Xiao Jie has opened his own "rule" road in the circle. The men's single champion of the CCTV TV Street Dance Competition, the final four of the Old School Night World Street Dance Competition, and the KOD International Hip Hop Elite Challenge (2010-2012), which is still talked about by countless fans today. Xiao Jie was also invited to participate in another street dance variety show, "Blood Street Dance Troupe". The topic of "returning to the pot of meat" also comes from this.
In This! When "Street Dance 4" was first broadcast, some viewers had different views on some dancers 'Back to the Pot Meat' (who had previously participated in other programs and became famous). When the reporter mentioned this, Xiao Jie's response can be said to be quite domineering, "This (based on this year's format and setting) is not 'back to the pot meat' It is also a way to jump." The newcomer can't jump, so he can only 'go back to the pot' (laughs). ”
Speaking of the other "big god" level contestants in the show, Xiao Jie immediately became modest again, and even said two "too powerful" to describe. "They're at the top of almost every dance class, and they're all out of the range of this world champion." For example, many of them are world champions from a long time ago. Xiao Jie also mentioned that like Nelson, who has won the Popping (Vibration Dance) world championship twice, he has met in France, Japan, South Korea and other competition sites before, "are old friends, every time I take the Locking championship, he takes the Popping championship (laughs). ”
Of course, the most attracted Xiao Jie to "This! It is the combination of street dance and traditional culture. Xiao Jie said frankly that on the one hand, he and Many outstanding dancers in China, such as Huang Xiao and Ma Xiaolong, are doing the integration of street dance "cross-border" and traditional culture and other art forms. "After all, it is an imported culture, and if we want to inject our Chinese soul, we must have the intervention of our traditional Chinese culture."
In Xiao Jie's view, combined with his own experience, after the injection of traditional Chinese culture and the integration of street dance, it has indeed brought a lot of surprises, "The real combination of Chinese and Western is the best." Xiao Jie also mentioned that Zhang Yixing, one of the captains of this season, has always insisted on doing this integration." This also reflects the great power of our Chinese dance. Xiao Jie revealed that in the future program, he will also dance pure Chinese style street dance, and he is very confident in this regard.
