Dimash: Heaven and Hell on the Shine stage!
As you know, the 6C team, in which Dimash participates, became the winner of the first episode.
But there were new challenges ahead of them: real training in an army camp and a military
field game, which we talked about in the previous review.
Charged with strength and morale, the super brothers set about choosing a song for their next
performance. The team "six times faster than the speed of light" got the song "Suzhou River"
from the movie "8 Hundred", which Andrea Bocelli sang together with the Chinese singer.
Dimash and Elvis Wang were delighted to have the chance to sing Bacelli's song.
Elvis: Bocelli. I love Bocelli.
While the other members understood that a song with a story would be interesting
to stage. But the problem was that three of the six participants: Bee, Vannes Wu and Dimash were
foreigners, who had no idea what was behind it. Dimash: It's hard.
To understand and convey the emotions associated with this song, the 6C team decides to arrange a collective
viewing of the movie "8 Hundred" at the end of which this song sounds.
It tells about one of the episodes of the 1937 war, when 400 Chinese soldiers
defended the Syhan warehouse in Shanghai from the many times superior enemy forces for four days and four nights, while on the other
side of the Suzhou River there was a peaceful life. Ordinary citizens and representatives of foreign states
watched the real theater of military operations. There is a confrontation in the film: the
hell of a brutal battle on one side of the river and a peaceful life on the other. The point is that the heroes in Hell are ready
to die in order to save the lives of people on the other side.
As conceived by Elvis Wang, this song should sound like a call for peace in the world, and therefore all team members
wrote the words that they would like to say to everyone. These messages were supposed to appear
on the screens during the performance. Bi: "Peace and love are the best." Jang Shaolong: "Fill the world with love
and use love to stop wars." Vannes Wu: "The road to peace is long, but we go step by step."
Shan Yuxi: "Remember those who gave their lives for peace and prosperity." Elvis: Everything for the Next Generation.
In an interview before the performance, Dimash wished that no one had to face the horrors of war.
The brothers thought over the concept of the production together. The arranger was Dimash, who
arranged the arrangement with Yerlan Bekchurin in one night. This time, Jang Shaolong was especially distinguished,
who very quickly organized the dancers and staged the dance when he realized after the first rehearsals that
there was not enough action on the stage.
He learned the Chinese text with Dimash.
... Jang Shaolong: "Very nice." Dimash: "Aaa ... Very good"
Wu emphasized that brotherly spirit and mutual assistance reign in the team. For the new episode, they added their slogan:
"Six times faster than the speed of light, more peace and love."
In the second episode, the jury was attended by actor Wu Jong, who starred in the same film "8 Hundred", at the
end of which the song "Suzhou River" sounded. The start of Team 6C's performance was like a movie footage.
Defending the warehouse of the mountain daredevils who challenged a huge army. In contrast to it,
another part of the scene is the peaceful life of the city on the opposite bank and a beautiful song about the river
as a symbol of peace.
According to the brothers, Dimash played the role of an angel who called for peace. His vocalizations, sounded in
complete silence, showed how fragile this world is, that it must be protected from the horrors of war.
About this were the lines of a rap-recitative, which was performed by the rest of the team. At the end of the
performance, the children's choir symbolized the hope that peace will be preserved for the sake of future generations.
The performance made a huge impression on the audience. Actor Doo Chun remembered his character's words in the film.
"Here is Hell, and there is Paradise, and the river Suzhou separates them" and noted that it was very well
shown in the production. The hosts noted that this version of the song was very different from the original and
asked who was responsible for it. Wu explained that this was a joint creative work:
Shan Juuxi wrote the rap, Dsiao Long choreographed it, Dimash did the arrangement.
For Shan Juuxi, whose grandfather was a war veteran, this song evoked strong personal emotions. For Elvis,
who served in the military, it was a way to express his feelings for the defenders of his country.
Wu said that through this song, they learned about the story and the film, and were very impressed with the
skill of the actors.
It even seemed to the chairman of the jury that the song was too short: it had many parts, many forms -
rap, dancing, Dimash's vocals. “Lovely voice,” she noted.
The professional jury also highly appreciated the performance of the 6C team: 50 points out of 51.
According to the rules of the show, which became more stringent, at this stage three participants
had to be excluded : the weakest from the team that took the last place, as well as two members of those teams
whose representatives will show the weakest performances in doubles duels.
In the first intro, Vannes Wu of Team 6C teamed up with Jang Aoue of Team Beijing 209 to deliver a
brilliant performance that highlighted the courage of the firefighters
rescuing people and won the round. In the second round, Elvis Wang, along with Man from
Beijing 209 Team, lost to their rivals and Elvis received the lowest score from the
professional jury. At the end of the second episode, two participants were removed from Team 35, as
they took last place and lost one duel. Team 6C also suffered its first loss.
The weakest player was recognized as Qsiao Long, who unfortunately left the show.
