The Spring Festival is the most important traditional festival in Chinese culture, carrying people's warm and perfect emotional memories in their hearts. In the anticipation of all, the 2022 Henan Spring Festival Gala of "Tigers and Tigers And Chinese Tides" will be premiered exclusively on Youku on the 28th of January (January 30) and broadcast on Henan Satellite TV and Elephant News Client. After successfully creating a "Chinese Festival" series that highlights cultural traditions in 2021, what surprises does Henan Satellite TV have?
According to the main creator, the 2022 Henan Spring Festival Gala takes "home" as the core theme and presents the special emotions and feelings of "home" in the whole party. All the programs of the evening are original, condensing the theme of "going home" in the body, mind, emotion and spirit of the Spring Festival people. For example, in the musical "The Direction of Home", "Henan Baby" Wang Yibo sent blessings to his hometown, and singer Zheng Yunlong interpreted his deep yearning for home with moving songs.
Not only that, while continuing the "national tide" style, this year's Henan Spring Festival Gala continued to cultivate traditional culture and chose to return to the present in terms of intention. "In the evening, you can see not only the Traditions of the New Year that have been passed down Chinese for thousands of years, but also the new folk customs that are constantly emerging and rising in the new era." Chen Lei, the general director of the party, said.
Among them, the song and dance "Shenzhou Gate God" combines the classical dance and martial arts action elements in traditional Chinese culture with the popular street dance loved by young people at present, and uses the trendy National Style Dance as the carrier to reflect the traditional beauty, sense of strength and trendiness of the program. The children's dance "Yellow River Mud Baby" is based on the national intangible clay sculpture technique and tells the inheritance of the roots of the Yellow River culture. Cute children imitate clay dolls, reminding everyone of those innocent childhood "old times". The dance "Towel Order" brings together the wonderful performances of Ling Yun, the inheritor of the Emei Sect, and most of the well-known pop dancers in the industry, and pays tribute to the independent self-improvement and home and country feelings of women in different eras through the integration of dance, film and television narrative lines.
It is worth mentioning that the song and dance "The World ankang" specially invited lyricist Fang Wenshan and singer Zhang Yixing to co-create, interpret the culture of traditional Chinese medicine with fashion songs and dances, and empower the audience through AI technology to create a warm and dreamy visual spectacle.
Last year, Henan Satellite TV created the "Chinese Festival" series, breaking through the traditional stage performance form and creating a new presentation of "network drama + network synthesis". This year's Henan Spring Festival Gala returned to the stage, on the basis of the form of the stage to carry out creative development, using the form of stage performance + real scene interpretation, built a 5,000 square meters of multi-scene, multi-dimensional performance space, in the form of real scene interaction, with storytelling as the main technique, once again presented to the audience a very innovative and breakthrough visual spectacle feast.
What is surprising is that tang xiaomei, roselle and many other explosive cultural IP images hatched in last year's "Chinese Festival" will all be reunited, replacing the host of the party and becoming an important tandem role: in the opening program "Spring Festival is coming", Tang Xiaomei, King Kong, Roselle, etc. walked on the time-honored street full of festive atmosphere, and suddenly a time and space gate opened, and the five protagonists led everyone through time and space to enter a wonderful and endless "year universe".
In this "Nian Universe", the evening party closely follows the New Year culture and creates a comprehensive performance: the dance "Lantern Red" structures the Spring Festival symbol of the lantern in the form of dance; the instrumental music "The Wild Song of the Year of the Tiger" presents a humorous, new-year-style, laughing and tearful informal performance; the creative Tai Chi "Next Second" uses the philosophical thinking of Tai Chi as a thought guide, and with the image of modern dance, it will present a "Tai Chi program that does not play Tai Chi".
What is most expected is that the dance "National Color Tianxiang" gathered eleven of China's top dancers, interpreted legends such as Bai Juyi, Di Renjie, Shangguan Wan'er and other legends of the Tang Dynasty, and went to a grand "Peony Covenant", "No matter what the form of the program, there is a common standard, that is, the theme expressed can evoke everyone's emotional resonance."
In the "Chinese Festivals" series in 2021, Henan's cultural heritage and well-known scenic spots have become the protagonists. This year's Henan Spring Festival Gala also fully excavated the many valuable cultural heritage of this land.
The oracle bones found in the Yin Ruins of Anyang, Henan Province, are the earliest mature writing systems ever found in China. The dance program "Yingfeng Nian" dismantles the word "Nian" in the oracle bone, and through the interpretation of the dancers, uses the wish of blessing to show the harmonious coexistence of human beings and nature one by one. When the wheat gradually forms a golden wheat wave wheat bran, people greet the harvest, and it also indicates the growth of tenacious vitality.
Xiangsheng "Festival High" invites "Yuyu" young cross-talk actors, incarnated as "festival" planning masters, to discuss "Chinese festivals", competitions to find "high", a "high" word throughout the venue, wonderful, in a happy and lively atmosphere to send laughter and blessings to everyone.
