How to refine the "green waist" of the screen?
In April 1113, Wang Ximeng, a famous painter in the late Northern Song Dynasty, spent half a year to complete the famous silk color work "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains". However, Wang Ximeng, as a Song dynasty, probably would not have thought that more than 900 years later, future generations would use another way to complete the combination of dance and art, and create "Only This Green" that also surprised the audience.
From static paintings to dynamic dances, this is not only an artistic fusion across time and space, but also a wonderful display of the profundity of our traditional Chinese culture. Even the lead dancer Meng Qingyang couldn't help but sigh: "I think as a literary and art worker, being able to stand on CCTV dance to inherit Chinese culture is itself a tribute to traditional Chinese culture." It can be said that it is the deep-rooted cultural self-confidence that has created this show. ”
According to reports, the "Map of a Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" inherits the "green landscape" painting method since the Sui and Tang dynasties in terms of color and brushwork, that is, it is mainly based on mineral pigments such as stone green and stone green. Therefore, the name of this dance poetry drama is also called "Only This Green". In fact, as early as before it appeared on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, the work has already carried out the first round of touring the country, and the social response is very good.
"This is our new drama of China Oriental Performing Arts Group Co., Ltd., the role I played in the play is 'green', and one of the clips presented on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala is 'green and green women's skirt', which is a state of freehand. The role of 'green and green' in the play is like the soul of the picture of a thousand miles of rivers and mountains, and it is also the essence of the brilliant colors that have not faded for thousands of years. In the interview, Meng Qingyang made such a profound interpretation of his role.
In the dance drama, Meng Qingyang's performance of "green waist" is to let the body form a geometric state, the right foot is in front, the left foot is in the back, and the waist is slowly tilted backwards to 90 degrees and then back to normal. Meng Qingyang introduced, "green waist" in the play called "dangerous peak", the core strength is concentrated in the waist, the difficulty is larger, "practice this action at the beginning is quite difficult, you can do it, but can not persist for so long, so privately will often do physical fitness training." You need the ability of your waist and abs to support this movement, and you can achieve the same effect on the stage over time. ”
Such a purely intentional, large-scale role is difficult to play. Accustomed to ballet training, the girls often have their heads raised high, their qi is also raised, and their state is very high. In order to play the green and green, they spent a lot of time to wash away the inertia of dancing, let the qi leak down, go inside, with the chest and the back of the nest, to achieve the state of Song Dance's shoulders and backs. In order to arrange the play well, Meng Qingyang and his colleagues rehearsed for at least 10 hours a day for 4 consecutive months, constantly practicing every action and position in the play. "During that time, I forgot about Meng Qingyang in my life, and I only had 'green' in my mind." In order to better present on the stage, that calm and proud bone, Meng Qingyang and colleagues spent more than half a month practicing "quiet" and reading a lot of poetry before the formal arrangement, understanding traditional Chinese culture and understanding the hearts of the ancients.
Meng Qingyang said: "Thank you very much for your love and support for "Only This Green", now more and more young people like traditional Chinese culture, because this is something in our roots. Standing on this hot land of China, we can carry forward our traditional culture, which is a very proud thing in itself. ”
Because I like to embark on the dance path, I will volunteer to give back to my hometown
Dance is an aesthetic of body language that requires repetitive, hard training, and cumulative precipitation. Sometimes it is like a cicada that has not shed its shell, hiding in the darkness and groping hard, and finally one day ushering in the dawn, and from then on it will be a blockbuster.
For Meng Qingyang, she was able to embark on the road of dance, mainly because she was still very young when she was exposed to dance, and she was very ignorant of the future road, but she insisted on going on by liking, of course, she also suffered a lot and sweated a lot for more than 20 years. Take the "green waist" in the "only this green" that people talk about this time, this action requires a strong waist and abdomen strength, and many physical training that ordinary people cannot imagine. Solid dance skills and qualities have created the traditional Chinese beauty "green waist" in the beautiful world.
"I was lucky that my family was very supportive of my dance studies." Meng Qingyang said that under the influence of gains and losses, she gained tenacity and character and her own value from dance, but also gave up a lot of time with her family.
"I never saw dance as a job, but as a spiritual belief. Only by standing on the stage is the real Meng Qingyang. For more than 20 years, it is the word 'love' that has supported me to keep going, and dance has become an indispensable part of my life, so I am very happy. Meng Qingyang said.
At the same time, the reporter learned that as early as before the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, Meng Qingyang, who graduated from the Beijing Dance Academy, was invited as a "distinguished professor" by the School of Music and Dance of Zhoukou Normal College, a university in his hometown. When time permits, she will also return to Zhoukou to guide the students of her hometown colleges and universities. "I am a native of Zhoukou, and I left Zhoukou to go to school since I was a child. After more than 20 years of stage experience and what I have learned, I feel it is necessary and obligatory to give back to the people of my hometown. So as long as I can find time, I will definitely return to Zhoukou Normal College to communicate and share with my classmates. Meng Qingyang said.
"Originally, at the beginning of this year, I planned to go back to Zhoukou Normal College, but I couldn't go back because of the epidemic. When the epidemic is better, I hope to return to my hometown as soon as possible and make some modest efforts for the students of the colleges and universities in my hometown. Meng Qingyang told reporters.
"I miss my hometown and I miss the taste of my hometown, such as peppery soup, which is my childhood hometown memory, no matter when and where, I will never forget." 」 She said.
Meng Qingyang also told reporters that according to the performance plan, the second round of the national tour of "Only This Green" will have its hometown of Zhengzhou, Henan. "I'm looking forward to performing in my hometown." She said hopefully.
