Some people say that traditional Chinese drama has become obsolete and will no longer be loved and sought after by people. However, the Cantonese opera film "The Legend of the White Snake" is beautiful, and once it appears, it has aroused strong reaction from the audience, especially by many young audiences, forming a unique scenery and literary phenomenon.
Before the afterglow of "White Snake Biography and Love" was over, there was this "White Snake Biography and Love" by Guangdong People's Publishing House.
The book is a "documentary" of the Cantonese opera film "The Legend of the White Snake". The book decodes the whole process of film production of the Cantonese opera film "The Legend of the White Snake" from film development and planning, script creation, aesthetic style, music sound effects to post-special effects.
In the book, the film's director, starring, screenwriter, arranger and other 9 main creators decipher the behind-the-scenes creations, 5 expert film critics multi-dimensional analysis of the past and present lives of the White Snake, tracing the coming and going of Cantonese opera films, and then exploring the road to break the circle of Cantonese opera films. The book presents dozens of high-definition cross-page stills, original conceptual design drawings, and script selections, just like a wonderful paper movie, leading readers into the burning world of the film.
In the book, we can feel how "The Legend of the White Snake" breaks the dimensional wall of opera and film, spanning tradition and modernity, classic and popularity, and then beautying Cantonese opera culture.
"The Legend of the White Snake" set a new record at the box office of Chinese opera films. What is even more valuable is that this film has circled a wave of young fans, which can be described as a benchmark for the creative transformation and innovative development of Cantonese opera art. It uses the fusion of traditional beauty and modern beauty to tell Chinese stories well, and makes a valuable attempt to make a valuable attempt for the modern inheritance of Cantonese opera, an intangible cultural heritage.
Culture needs to be passed on, but "cultural inheritance" is not just shouting slogans. From the dance program "Tang Palace Night Banquet" at the Spring Festival Gala in Henan to the popularity of the Cantonese opera movie "The Legend of the White Snake", it is actually not surprising. The artistic treasures left by these ancestors, innovative forms and combinations with the present, allow more and more young people to begin to contact traditional culture, feel traditional culture, and then like traditional culture. The new technology of film is opening up a new dimension of the dissemination of traditional opera. The out-of-the-loop movie "The Legend of the White Snake" once again proves that opera films are promising.
Cantonese opera is a cultural business card of Guangdong. The most widely circulated drama in the world is Cantonese opera, and where there are Chinese, there is Cantonese opera. Cantonese opera films, which carry the traditional genes of opera and the new way of expression, have more possibilities: going abroad, going to the world, and then becoming a business card of Chinese films.
Wang Yanfei, the actor of Fahai in the movie, said that tradition is the root, development and innovation is the leaf, whether you can open the branches and scatter the leaves depends on whether you find the right path, whether you can attract more young audiences. Now that there are so many new things to watch, why watch your opera? Opera is a high art, but it also needs to develop in order to continue to move upwards.
Huang Tianji, a professor at sun yat-sen university's department of Chinese and vice president of the Chinese Opera Society, said, "Just like listening to symphony performances in a concert hall, watching football games on the pitch, and watching TV broadcasts, the effect is completely different." The successful release of the Cantonese opera film "The Legend of the White Snake" will inevitably prompt opera workers to think about how to further innovate in stage performances and how to combine the excellent traditions of national culture with the aesthetics of reality. ”
