Inspiration: Wang Jianlin is partly based on his own life experience.

It\'s a whole new world for me.
\"Concept: Wang\'s martial arts experience incorporates this concept because war is a theme in video games.

\"Working hours: a month of music and dance moves, plus four weeks of working with dancers.

More than any piece I do, the direction is driven by dancers.

\"It\'s like a ritual, based on very deep themes, unlike anything I could have done before.
