Launched in 2021 by China Oriental Performing Arts Group, "Only This Green" tells the story of a young researcher from the Forbidden City who travels back to the Northern Song Dynasty and glimpses the painter Wang Ximeng's creation of "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" from the perspective of the exhibition volume. As the lead dancer, Meng Qingyang played the role of "Green" in "Only This Green", and circled countless fans with his excellent dance skills and elegant and calm performance.
In the live broadcast, Meng Qingyang successively introduced the content of the work "Only This Green", the preliminary preparation, the details in front of and behind the stage, as well as his personal dance career, growth experience and insights, and interacted with a number of Douyin dance anchors Lian Mai. The nearly 2-hour live broadcast has attracted more than 660,000 people to watch online.
Meng Qingyang introduced that in addition to the main roles of "Only This Green", there are also painters Xi Meng and modern "exhibition people". This year's CCTV Spring Festival Gala performance is one of the clips of "Only This Green", "Green Girl's Skirt", which belongs to the second half of "Only This Green". In this part, the painter Simon has outlined the state of the mountain, showing the state of the mountains and mountains. Therefore, everyone will see that "green" has a cold and cold state in this paragraph, which makes people feel the sedimentation of traditional Chinese culture.
Therefore, Meng Qingyang specifically mentioned that "if you watch it in the theater, people will be completely immersed in the aesthetics and traditional culture of the Song Dynasty, and everyone is welcome to the theater to watch the complete "Only This Green"."
During the live broadcast, Meng Qingyang also shared his growth experience of learning dance. He began to learn at the age of 5 and began to embark on a professional dance path at the age of 9. In the middle of this, I suffered a lot, and I shed a lot of tears and sweat. However, dance has given her a tenacious character, and she will be very persistent and fearless in all things, which has supported her for so many years. After graduating from university, Meng Qingyang joined the China Oriental Performing Arts Group and became a dancer.
"Blending with art, art will also enrich its soul." The one on the stage is the real Meng Qingyang. Meng Qingyang said that for dance, it is not treated as a kind of work, it is a support point for oneself, and it is also a kind of faith.
