New Youth

Even Luo Yizhou himself admits that he is a "somewhat boring and monotonous" person.

Born in the Millennium, he studied military art and dance since childhood. He was the first in his class to disassemble and assemble the Type 95 rifle. He changed his major and was admitted to the Department of Chinese Opera Performance ... His resume has nothing to do with "boredom" and "monotony".

But Luo Yizhou is really a different young man.

He doesn't like playing games "I play with them when everyone plays together, but I'm really not interested at ordinary times"; If you have to play games, you will choose "the ancient kind, the killing of the Three Kingdoms ... traveling frogs is also quite good". He doesn't like shopping either. "Shopping, I will be very tired. That process is very complicated and troublesome. " However, he likes to go to the mountains to play Tai Chi with his grandfather. "I haven't learned Tai Chi either. I will play with my grandfather when I see how he plays. This process will make me very relaxed. "

Luo Yizhou's low-key and simple style does not match the consistent attitude of artists who have the title of "one of the hottest new stars this year" in our impression.

The shooting day coincided with a rare heavy rain in Beijing, and urban traffic was paralyzed. Shooting was scheduled to start at 9: 00, and Luo Yizhou arrived ten minutes early. At this time, most of the staff were blocked on the road, and the 500 square meter studio was empty. He didn't ask for anything special. He even ate breakfast and waited quietly for work in the dressing room.

Because of the weather, the scenery was not completed, so we had to adjust our plans and interview in advance. Luo Yizhou is very cooperative and has no complaints about the delay caused by force majeure.

Before the interview, Luo Yizhou picked up a thick brown schedule book from the desk and carefully wrote three pages on it according to the outline points we prepared.

He sat in danger, swept his notes and cleared his throat: "The answer to the first question is-"

Everyone laughed together, and the embarrassing atmosphere vanished.

"Now let's officially begin. Are you ready? " I asked.

"Very good." Luo Yizhou nodded and put away his notes.

Aside from the preset answers, Luo Yizhou deconstructed the truest self for us.

Del'Amour

Ji Bolun wrote in The Prophet's Work: "If you work with love, you will closely integrate yourself, others and heaven and earth. What is working with love? ..... is to sow gently and reap happily, as if the fruit you love is for the person you love. "

This is what Luo Yizhou did.

In this involution society, working with love is the privilege of a few people, and Luo Yizhou is lucky. He is grateful for this: "I feel very lucky. Stage is my hobby. I am doing what I love, which happens to be my job. "

Just as "luck" is an idealized term, practitioners in the art industry often like to talk about fate. But Luo Yizhou is a very pragmatic person. He doesn't think he is "born for this job". Luo Yizhou was interested in many things when he was a child. He has studied Taekwondo, walked the catwalk, worked as a host and is also learning to dance. In the end, he fell in love with dance completely: "My parents supported me and gave me the opportunity to study at school. In the process of learning, in the process of getting on the stage, after performing again and again, I love it more and more. "

ELLEMEN new youth

Luo Yizhou doesn't feel talented either. On the contrary, he believes that talent alone cannot present an excellent stage: "If you want to do a good job, you must spend a lot of time studying and pondering. Every performance on the stage should be based on the practice in the practice room. Only by taking practical actions can we achieve better results. "

Suffering hardships is also taken for granted in Luo Yizhou's view. He likes practicing very much, especially the preparation of the stage: "I will feel very comfortable when rehearsing, so it is a kind of relaxation for me."

Of course, he also knows that only "love" can support "bitterness": "I still like and love. When you find your passion-whether it's study or work-you must stay focused. Only by focusing on what you are doing now and eliminating useless emotions can you do things well. "

Love encourages concentration, which drives persistence. Only with the support of "persistence" can we endure boring pain. Not all 20-year-olds can have such awareness, or only a few young people can have such a thorough understanding. Luo Yizhou's transparency is not unrelated to his growing environment. He left home when he was a child and started a collective life. He experienced the ultra-high intensity education and training under the strictest standards, and his early independence forged his strong self-management ability.

ELLEMEN new youth

"Have you ever lost control or collapsed?"

"From the perspective of doing things, I have never." Luo Yizhou shook his head.

"For me, the most important thing is to keep my heart quiet. This mentality is the secret of longevity. " He added half-jokingly and half-seriously, and then solemnly concluded, "When the pace is fast, you must keep your mind calm. There will be highs and lows in life. Whether it is at a high point or a low point, we should treat it with normality. I think, on the whole, you can transition and grow peacefully. "

The goal

From elegant art to popular art, Luo Yizhou's choice has been questioned. Faced with these voices, he responded with "any form and category of performance is the ultimate in art" As long as he has the opportunity to stand on the stage, no matter what kind of stage, he will try his best to present it.

He has always maintained enough awe of the stage: "respect every stage, big or small." In the stage performance, I am always moving forward, and I don't feel that I have reached a very satisfactory state. "But at the same time, he also admitted that" it has not reached the extreme state, and it is still far from this goal. "

ELLEMEN new youth

Luo Yizhou is approaching the final big goal step by step by completing every small goal in a down-to-earth manner.

As for the big goal in the future, Luo Yizhou once expressed his hope to become an art educator in the future: "There are many old-timers in our school, and they have already achieved high achievements and prestige, but they are still very pure and passionate when guiding students, with that sense of inheritance passed down from generation to generation. Every time I see them teaching, I feel very encouraged and hope that I can do this job when I have the ability. "

Luo Yizhou believes that becoming an art educator requires a very solid artistic foundation and an understanding of various categories. Secondly, we should set the highest standards for ourselves, because art is a process of continuous exploration and pursuit, so we should always set the strictest standards for ourselves; Finally, it takes time to precipitate and accumulate, and it requires educational literacy.

ELLEMEN new youth

"Of course, I am still far from this goal and need to learn more."

"So what is your goal at this stage?"

"Show more, better and better stages," Luo Yizhou is full of confidence, "and then make a bigger stage and board a bigger stage!"

On motivation

The motivation of Luo Yizhou's dream pursuit is not only his love, but also his "supporters".

When answering the question "Do you think the love of fans is a burden?", Luo Yizhou abandoned the pronoun "fans" without trace. He naturally changed the "fans" in the question to "people who support me": "I and the people who support me, the process of our acquaintance began step by step. They have been with me since I started walking forward, and I think our relationship is very equal. I don't think this love will have a burden. "

There are some subtle differences between "fans" and "people who support me". The former means "submission" to idols, while the latter eliminates this inequality.

"People who support me, people who like me and my identity are all equal." Luo Yizhou once again stressed, "I have always insisted that we shine on each other. In this process, I hope I can live up to their recognition. We grow and learn from each other, and they are one of the driving forces for my progress. "

ELLEMEN new youth

The best feedback for the love of supporters is a high-level stage. Luo Yizhou hopes to present more high-quality content through his own efforts: "I hope that the content I output can withstand repeated scrutiny."

Luo Yizhou's first public appearance, Xia Feng, is such a stage. Dressed in white, he is personable and energetic, and has won unanimous praise from his mentor and audience on this stage of integration of classical and modern. His performance reflects his solid dance skills and mature control ability on the stage.

Xia Feng is a work completely dominated by Luo Yizhou, who controls all aspects from song selection to choreography to costume. The soft white dress and the red uniform on the first stage of the tiger pounce make Luo Yizhou's temperament show great contrast, but the reason why he chose this dress is simple: "Because it is more important to embody the essence of dance works, clean and elegant clothes can directly convey to the audience."

Luo Yizhou hopes to bring you a unique stage of China classical dance, not the slow-paced Chinese style in people's stereotypes, but in a more lively way: "Classical dance is divided into two parts: literature and martial arts, and I hope to give consideration to these two contents in my own works. The' dance' part should show the spirit of China classical dance. "

Choreography naturally depends on music. Luo Yizhou listened to a lot of music to find the most suitable melody, and finally found the song Xia Feng in the album Elephant in the Woods released by independent musician Guzz 2065 438+06.

ELLEMEN new youth

"Elephant in the Woods is an album with young people's aesthetics, which combines electronic elements with the sampling of traditional Asian music very well. The song "Xia Feng" is an outstanding representative. It has the characteristics of ethnic minorities and is skillfully integrated with modern music technology. " Luo Yizhou said, "I also want to do this kind of integration. Like these excellent predecessors, I will present the national culture to young people more vividly and guide everyone to understand and like it. Therefore, I chose this content as my initial stage. "

On nature

On the stage, Luo Yizhou is as passionate as Xia Feng's drums, but in private, a boat is quiet and shy. He doesn't talk much, but he is concise. After an interview for half an hour, when it comes to traveling, he is really relaxed and happily lists everything he likes about nature-he likes small animals, the parrot he met when recording variety shows in Luoyang ("he always took it with him when recording"), and even likes the natural wind, which is why he took a folding fan when recording programs.

By the way, we talked about the jacket and cloth shoes with a sense of the times. Reuters: "Those liberation shoes are actually not my personal belongings." Yizhou explained, "It is the modeling of a role in the program. Then I brought a fan myself, which I thought was quite suitable for that feeling, but the fan I brought had words on it, and later the program group changed it for me without words. "

"Can you play with a fan?"

"No, I just think it's cool." Luo Yizhou answered very simply.

ELLEMEN new youth

In Luo Yizhou's memory, the road that his father took him to school by motorcycle was the first scenery he had ever seen. Whenever he comes back from school holidays, the whole family will travel together. They walked through Shapotou in Ningxia, Yandang Mountain in Zhejiang, Ganzi in Sichuan, Tibet and other large and small tourist holy places together: "There are also Changbai Mountain and Daxinganling ... I have walked through the northeast, southwest and southeast of China." Speaking of the places he has been, Luo Yizhou is like a few treasures.

"Staying in the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, watching the mountains, watching the water and pressing the road" is his favorite life.

Luo Yizhou's love for nature embodies the romantic spirit: nature is a mirror of the soul and a symbol of freedom and infinity.

ELLEMEN new youth

What impressed him most was the Sichuan-Tibet region. He once went to Ganzi to collect folk dances in order to learn Tibetan dances: "When I was young, Tibetan dances were one of the most important branches. If you want to find the core of this dance, you must go to the local area to feel and collect local customs. Go and see how the old local artists perform, feel the customs and culture of this nation, and understand their feelings and state. "

When he was young, he stood by the river in Ganzi City and looked at the scene on the other side. It was Thangka painted on a whole mountain, illuminated by the spotlight at the foot of the mountain. The combination of faith and nature brought him great shock, and also made him understand the information conveyed by local dances in a deeper level.

Among the areas that Luo Yizhou has never been to, Xinjiang is what he is most looking forward to. He wants to go to Yili, see the scenery of alpine grassland, experience Uygur culture and taste local food.

"What's your favorite place?"

Luo Yizhou said that this question is a bit difficult. He couldn't choose one he liked: "I want to go to all the places I just said, many times."

However, after struggling for a while, he still gave the answer: "Hulunbeier, Hulunbeier's prairie."

"Is that where you see yaks?"

"No, yak is in Tibet, Hulunbeier is in Inner Mongolia, the prairie in the north." He patiently explained: "The local food there is really delicious! After dinner, follow the local herdsmen around. It's very comfortable to see them herding sheep and riding horses. "

ELLEMEN new youth

"Why do you like Hulunbeier best?"

"Because the grassland is big and open," Luo Yizhou held out his arm. "Very free, very carefree."

"Is it the feeling of wanting to fly?" I asked.

"Yes, that's right." He replied.

Mastering the skills of flying is also in Luo Yizhou's plan: "I saw a plane where I was taking my driver's license, so I asked my driver's license coach curiously." He told me that I could also get a pilot's license, which I found very interesting. I want to learn and I can fly a plane in the future. "

People who want to fly, how can they be really bored?

On Luo Yizhou

Ten hours later, the shooting of the day finally ended. Luo Yizhou bowed and thanked all the staff and skipped back to the dressing room on the second floor. His steps are brisk and the stairs are banging. Just looking at his back, he can feel the joy of calling it a day-this is also his most "childish" moment.

In exchange for private service, a boat waved goodbye to us and disappeared into the rainy night in Beijing, heading for the next trip.

Luo Yizhou, who wants to fly, has finally become a "trapeze artist", wandering between cities, doing every job dutifully with a desire for the stage. Fortunately, he knows the beauty of taking pains, and will try his best to satisfy himself and find the pleasure of every trip. However, the plan to travel with my family has become distant, and I don't know when I can go to Yili.

ELLEMEN new youth

"Do you think this sacrifice is worth it?"

"This is the only way to grow up." Luo Yizhou did not hesitate. "Compared with companionship, I have done a good job in the field of work-this is what my family and elders want to see. I hope to be their pride through their own efforts. "

His answer is as mature as ever.

ELLEMEN new youth

"Mature" is also an adjective that often appears with "boring" when evaluating Luo Yizhou. These two attributes, which are slightly negative in some contexts, are properly described in Luo Yizhou, because he is mature but not secular, boring and not hypocritical.

Maturity comes from education, and boredom comes from "no desire, no desire". He staked all his desires on his major. "In addition to the stage, the simpler the better." Naturally, there is less time left for others to be "interesting". But it is this "boredom" that makes his oath particularly solemn, which makes people believe that he and his supporters will join hands to resist difficulties and obstacles like "a fighting fortress" and board their highest stage.

ELLEMEN new youth

As for Luo Yizhou's opinion of himself, will it change? To tell the truth, he is not very interested in this problem. He even asked us, "Maybe people will think I am more mature than my peers. Actually, I'm curious about many things that interest me. I wonder if this state is mature? "

This is a good question, but we didn't answer it. He didn't expect an answer.

What should Luo Yizhou be like? He has his own judgment in his heart.
