On the morning of February 11, the Beijing Winter Olympic Organizing Committee released the "Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games Legacy Case Report (2022)", and the IOC simultaneously released the international version of the heritage report, telling the positive impact of the heritage achievements of the Beijing Winter Olympics on the host city and the country through 44 case stories.
In recent years, China's ice and snow industry has entered an unprecedented period of activity. According to the "Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games Legacy Case Report - Sports Heritage Case (2022)", since 2014, the number of people who have participated in the "mass ice and snow season" in the country has reached 365 million, and China's ice and snow sports have achieved unprecedented prosperity.
As a global event and a cultural symbol shared by mankind, the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics not only brings a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for subversion of the ice and snow industry, but also provides a good foundation for shaping the cultural pioneers of the Winter Olympics. At the just-held "Heritage" theme conference, the Beijing Winter Olympic Organizing Committee listed China's first original ice dance drama "Treading on Ice and Chasing Dreams" as the only ice performance case among the six cultural heritage cases of the "Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games Heritage Case Report (2022)" for detailed review.
China's first original ice dance drama "Treading on Ice and Chasing Dreams" co-stars figure skating world champion Zhang Dan/Zhang Hao. The drama revolves around the Olympic complex of China's figure skating predecessors, and through the innovative expression of Chinese stories and excellent traditional culture, it shows the hard work and loneliness and pain endured by the generations of ice and snow athletes in the past 70 years, which is sincere and touching.
On January 20, 2022, the ice dance drama "Treading on Ice and Chasing Dreams" appeared at the "Meet in Beijing" International Arts Festival, on the eve of the Beijing Winter Olympics, forming a mental connection between the public and the Winter Olympics, taking the lead in launching a Winter Olympic spiritual inspiration and igniting everyone's ice and snow yearning.
The profound plot interpretation, poetic body language, and the beauty of figure skating in the dance drama reflect the expectations and love of contemporary figure skaters for figure skating, and also convey the inheritance spirit and civilization meaning of Winter Olympic culture. The monotonous ice surface and the pure white ice rink wall are used by the artists as the background for their creations, and the magnificent momentum of the heavens and the earth above the colorful colors and wonderful patterns is sprinkled throughout the space. The performance stage of the actors is no longer limited to the ice surface, and the addition of elements such as silk hanging and high-altitude skills creates a three-dimensional visual space for the entire performance, so that the sport of figure skating presents a richer artistic appearance.
In the ice dance drama "Stepping on the Ice and Chasing Dreams", the audience can see the persistence and persistence of the dreamers of the Winter Olympics, the light gliding posture of contemporary figure skaters, the declaration of figure skaters holding hands and chasing dreams... Not only the collective sense of honor mobilization of "all people dedicated to the Winter Olympics", but also the value intention of "from the joy of competition, extension to the joy of everyone", a variety of LED image slices that pay tribute to the Winter Olympics, so that the value proposition of "living up to the aspirations of youth and burning dreams in the ice and snow" is also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Especially after a whole year of love and pain, sorrow and joy, loss and shimmering, magic and fantasy in the world, the general public can not only perceive the shock of the grand narrative from the highlight moments of the Winter Olympic Games, but also listen to the inspiration from the depths of the still water from the new era expression of the ice dance drama "Stepping on the Ice and Chasing Dreams".
The strength of figure skaters in the mainland is not bad, and there are many world champions, but the development time of figure skating is still short, and there has never been a local original ice dance drama. The reason is that the audience believes that the Winter Olympics theme works are relatively empty and have a certain distance from the current life. Over the years, Wanyu Fangfei Shouzheng has been innovating, always focusing on the creation of national themes and ice and snow sports, and has handed over a worthwhile answer sheet through the ice dance drama "Stepping on the Ice and Chasing Dreams", filling the gap of the mainland's original ice dance drama.
The Winter Olympics-themed ice dance drama "Treading on Ice and Chasing Dreams" takes the true story of world champion Zhang Dan as the material and the development history of Chinese figure skating as the background, and sets the image of the new Chinese ice and snow athletes passing on the torch on the stage, bringing the audience into the ice world full of humanistic feelings and body sound spirit, bringing unprecedented artistic enjoyment to the audience.
After four years of dedicated creation, the ice dance drama "Stepping on the Ice and Chasing Dreams" has maintained the vitality of ice dance in the public opinion space through repeated auditions, public performances, media performances and other rhythmic dissemination, realized the expansion of the circle and peripheral radiation of "300 million people participating in ice and snow sports", and continued to accumulate potential energy and crowd assets for ice and snow sports.
The strong Winter Olympic attribute of the play not only realizes the in-depth dissemination of figure skating, but also shapes the clear brand image of Wanyu Fangfei as "promoter and helper of the Winter Olympics", and cleverly completes a unique brand appearance.
Cultural heritage is the most direct and important legacy of the Olympic Games. Creating a rich legacy of the Winter Olympics, bringing long-term and positive benefits to the host city and the general public, is also one of the important symbols of the success of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games.
It is expected that the ice dance drama "Stepping on ice and chasing dreams" can drive the emergence of more ice performance projects, precipitate a valuable cultural asset for the human Olympic event, and also leave a unique memory of the Beijing Winter Olympics in the world.
