A magician is an artist, and an artist should have the taste of an artist. You tell people that you are a magic artist, but people do not find your artistic temperament and taste in you. The taste of "jianghu" does not represent the stage style, and it cannot replace the elegance. The author believes that he is not a tasteful person, but there are many magic tricks I have seen, most of them are tasteful people, so I will talk about artistic taste in this period.
As mentioned earlier, as a performing artist, you should have a taste for life. So where does taste come from? Taste comes from life, from values, from the heart. A person who has an interest in artistic performance cannot lack interest in other artistic categories. If it is really not interesting, it can only prove that the person is not a performing arts person, and cannot play an auxiliary role in the future development of magic, because he will only use magic as a tool for making a living, cannot reach a certain level, and can only rely on "blowing" to package himself.
Is taste really so important? absolute!! Taste can improve your self-cultivation, exude elegant temperament, make you charming on the stage, touch the hearts of the audience. More importantly, you can enrich your imagination and improve your creativity. When you are interested in studying and exploring painting, calligraphy, drama, opera, literature, music, etc., and your worldview, insight, and knowledge are also broadened, your imagination and creativity will automatically be greatly improved accordingly, and new ideas and new ideas will continue to pour into your creative source. After all kinds of art are involved, a person's taste and temperament will naturally arise, and it will be of great help in creating magic art, and it is not too late to call yourself a "magician" after you have certain achievements. Like the international magician "Jeff Maibai" introduced in the magic monthly magazine in the past, calling him a magic performance artist is by no means exaggerated! A person who is ragged, full of mouth, smelly from the whole body, and personal hygiene cannot meet the standards, plus his thoughts are full of copper odor, is this considered a "performing artist" or a "master"?
If you ask me does "fame and fortune" matter? I think it's important. However, in order to pursue fame and fortune, you can do whatever it takes, so that it seriously affects your personal cultivation and taste. It is too boring to use means, money, and power to buy awards; with ability and ability, to compete with the strong one by one, and then win the award, you will also win self-confidence and win the report card of life.
After China's successful bid to host the Olympic Games, the government issued a lot of publicity, calling on the People of China to improve their personal quality and not to lose face in front of their homes. Similarly, Beijing bid for the 2009 World Magic Congress, when magic peers from all over the world gather in China, shouldn't our peers also improve some personal qualities, tastes, and cultivation? Let Wanbang visitors see that Chinese magicians are artists with taste, cultivation and insight. Moreover, this, as stated above, is indeed of great benefit to oneself. On the contrary, if you communicate with foreign magicians, even if you know English, find a translator, and people talk to you about art, such as music, Shakespeare's plays, stage development, and world trends, how can you talk about it? How can you communicate? Usually used to bragging, then wouldn't you wear a gang? The knowledge of magic is no longer comparable to others, so why not only talk about Kong Meng's Eight Shares, Hongxue or the Three Kingdoms? I see! Some people do not have enough understanding of their own culture, let alone come up with a set of Chinese exchange and even compare with foreigners the values of art.
Therefore, taste and cultivation are really very important, and they can also affect the next generation. The prophet has enough to eat and drink, but after not knowing the honor and disgrace, it is difficult to reach a higher level of art. Although the author has not been able to do it, he will try hard to cultivate taste and increase cultivation.
Bad money drives out good money, and there are too many ugly phenomena in society. Nevertheless, if our fellow magicians work together, put aside a little selfishness, and win glory for the country and the nation, I believe that the Chinese magic community will show a strange fragrance and charm in a number of arts.
