Following the belgian European beatbox invitational competition judges, the American beatbox competition judges, on March 2, 2018, Zhang Ze will become the first Invited Chinese judge in the history of the Swiss World Beatbox Competition. It has to be said that Zhang Ze has once again created a myth for the Chinese beatbox.
The Swiss Grand Beatbox Battle (GBBB) is the "Oscar" of the Beatbox, the World Championships, once a year, and the venue is in Basel, Switzerland. The selection of the competition is very strict, even if you win the championship in your home country, you still have to pass the foreign video audition to qualify for the competition, which is currently the most stringent competition in the world beatbox circle. The contestants are all champions of various countries, and they have a chance to advance after passing two levels of selection.
In the 2017 competition video, it can be seen that at the performance site, Zhang Ze's drop came out, and the entire audience was shocked, standing up and raising their hands to shout and jump. "During the performance, the audience gave me the most sincere welcome and encouragement, and I felt that I had no regrets." Zhang Ze said excitedly, "Not only have my efforts been recognized, but also won glory for our country." Netizens commented that Zhang Ze finally let people know the meaning of "crazy drag cool hanging and exploding the sky". This big boy in 1994 stood on the world stage and showed the world the style of China's beatbox with a cool beatbox.
But these achievements are not important, what is important is a person's influence and works, Zhang Ze was invited to speak by the top six universities in Paris (the world ranking ranked in front of Tsinghua University in China), and was invited to speak by Ted. His understanding of beatbox is different from many people, Zhang Ze said in his Weibo, ten years ago there were very few people who knew beatbox, ten years later now know beatbox although there are many people, but everyone only understands the most basic musical form of beatbox, in the next few days I will try to let more people know that beatbox is not just a person covering his mouth to play rhythm, it can have more ways to express music and complete musicality. Zhang Ze also said that he did not want to participate in the competition anymore, because he could not express the integrity of the music and could not compete for the sake of the competition. Maybe Zhang Ze is like making more good music, music that the public can understand. Zhang Ze has an idol in the beatbox circle, his name is Beardyman is a British national treasure musician, at first Bidtyman was also a Beatboxer, although he only participated in one world championship and did not have good results, but his beatbox music has become a world master. Zhang Ze once mentioned that he grew up watching his videos, probably influenced by him.
Zhang Ze, who has been in contact with beatbox since junior high school, can be said to be a model for developing interest into a career, and when asked by the media about his expectations for the future, he said that it was very simple, playing beatbox for a lifetime. Even he thinks that what he cares about most when he participates in the competition is not the ranking, but to let the world audience understand what is beatbox, compared to a beatbox performer, a competitor, he hopes to be a communicator, he hopes that through his own performance, let more people understand beatbox and fall in love with beatbox.
