Ice is made at breakneck speed within 48 hours
As the only ice performance of the "Meet in Beijing" Olympic Cultural Festival and the 22nd "Meet in Beijing" International Arts Festival, "WE ARE ONE" features two senior figure skating coaches and their young team members as the protagonists, telling the story of contemporary Chinese ice and snow people who, under the condition of lack of resources, abandon their families and work hard, and use their faith and persistence in their hearts to forge ahead in the ice and snow industry. On the afternoon of February 11, this drama premiered at the Beijing Tianqiao Art Center Grand Theater to promote ice and snow culture and help the Beijing Winter Olympics.
The ice dance drama was staged in the theater, challenging many difficulties. The Chinese ice team broke through many technical difficulties and made ice in the theater for the first time in 48 hours, building an ice rink of more than 300 square meters, which is the first of China's ice dramas and a major breakthrough in ice culture.
In order to present the best performance effect, the Beijing Tianqiao Art Center Coliseum has also transformed into a gorgeous and brilliant ice stage. The performance uses sound and light sensory effects to reflect the rhythm of figure skating, which is a passionate collision of figure skating and audiovisual effects. While highlighting the traditional culture, the whole performance highly combines culture and art with sports competition, bringing the audience an unprecedented viewing experience and injecting new vitality into the figure skating culture.
The ice show is a fantastic presentation
When talking about the creative process of the play, Tong Jian, the main creator, said: "Now it is during the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, the eyes of the world are locked in Beijing, on the field we cheer for the athletes, outside the arena, we use the form of original ice repertoire to help the Winter Olympics, through the efforts of our Chinese ice and snow people to tell the Chinese story, attract more people to pay attention to figure skating, hope to use our 100% dedicated performance, express our feelings for the Winter Olympics, China's ice and snow." ”
In this Winter Olympic Games, the figure skating project attracted the attention of a large number of spectators, no matter which country's players, their beautiful dance posture on the ice, dazzling throwing action, gorgeous dance costumes, every picture is attracting everyone's attention. Pang Qing and Tong Jian, two figure skaters, did not leave their favorite figure skating career after retiring, but continued to extend their dreams to a broader stage and continue to spread and promote the sport of figure skating.
Difficult skills, beautiful dance postures, and meticulous choreography all bring a shocking world-class audio-visual feast to the audience, so that more people can see the future stars of figure skating.
Committed to cultivating ice and snow talents
"Pang Qing-Tong Jian" "Tong Jian-Pang Qing", this is the social media name of Pang Qing and Tong Jian. It has been 30 years since they started dancing together as partners in 1993. As two-time figure skating world champion and runner-up in pairs at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, Pang Qing and Tong Jian have become the pride of China's ice and snow sports. In terms of performance style, they are good at the expressive theme of classical love themes, can control a variety of different styles of music and performance modes, and are known as "the ceiling of artistic expression".
There are also legends of Pang Qing and Tong Jian on the ice rink, and after retiring, they have devoted themselves to the ice sports industry and are committed to cultivating China's ice and snow reserve talents. "We are both beneficiaries of figure skating and have changed our lives as a result, and we still want to leave something for figure skating in China. We want to do something to make figure skating no longer as 'high and cold' as it used to be. Named after the two, Pang Qing Tong Jian Ice Art Center focuses on professional training in youth figure skating. In addition, they have hosted the Ice and Snow Champions Public Welfare Class since 2015, and have successfully held 66 sessions in 6 years, and the series of ice performance brands "Magic On Ice" created by their team has also been well received and listed as a cultural heritage of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.
Since Beijing's successful bid to host the 2022 Winter Olympics, China's ice and snow sports have developed by leaps and bounds, and figure skating is no exception. Tong Jian said that figure skating combines art and sports, advocating a healthy and fashionable concept of life. For children learning figure skating, Tong Jian believes that there is a saying that is very good, that is, the technology is art to the extreme, and he also uses this sentence to encourage children to strive for excellence in each movement in the process of learning figure skating.
Perhaps, among the figure skaters performing on stage today, the next pair of "Pang Qing/Tong Jian" will be born.
