Clear water out of the hibiscus
One flower, one world
Following last year's "flying like a mighty, like a dragon"
After "Roselle Water Endowment" (originally called "Prayer").
Henan Satellite TV's "Lantern Wonderful Tour" last night was another hit
Dream Lotus
The People's Daily directly forwarded the entire dance
Call it a "fairy show"
"The dancers show the magical process of the lotus flower from bud to bloom with movement. The moment it blooms, the skirt opens like a petal. The dancers leap up in the air and step by step, which is wonderful. ”
This "fingertip dance" creates an oriental aesthetic
It has attracted netizens to call one after another
It was more than 9 o'clock last night
Yang Wu, the heroine of "Dream Lotus"
Interviewed by the City Express reporter
It was revealed that this dance was rehearsed hundreds of times
I also recorded for three days on a snowy day
The third day was recorded at 4:30 a.m. the next day
Only then did I shoot the version of the "immortals" that everyone sees now
"Dream Lotus" was made like this
A play of "Dream Lotus" is like a dream, and the fairy cloud effect in the dance is not a special effect, but a special effect created by dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) at minus 78.5 ° C.
Since the temperature of dry ice is very low, the surrounding heat is absorbed during the sublimation process, which can make the water vapor in the air condense into small water droplets, creating a white mist.
We looked at the immortals, but actually the scene almost froze people into "ice piers".
Yang Wu said that at that time, when recording, it was snowing outside the studio, and in order to create a cloud effect with dry ice, there was no heating in the studio, "The space in the studio is very large, and its practical heating is useless. ”
When dancing "Dream Lotus", Yang Wu was barefoot and only wore a thin gauze coat, "because after the dry ice is sprayed out, the ground will condense water, and then freeze into ice, and the feet are almost jumping on the ice slag, and nearly 4 days of shooting are all filmed under such circumstances." ”
In order to shoot the effect, she can't warm the baby on her body, "it can only be said that when she is resting, quickly use the heater to dry her feet, and then hold a hot water bottle, that's it." ”
You may not be able to see it, there are also several underwater shots, which Yang Wu took on the roof of the building on all sides, "I remember that it was a strong wind blowing at that time." ”
The dance lasted less than 3 minutes for nearly four days
"Dream Lotus" on the screen is only 2 minutes and 55 seconds, and for the dance of less than three minutes, Yang Wu can't remember how many times he danced, "Before recording the demo to the director, I was dancing every day, recording and jumping, recording and recording, close to hundreds of times, and then when we went to the scene to record, we shot for almost 4 days, and on the third day we filmed at 4:30 a.m. the next day." ”
Why shoot it so many times? "Because every angle has to be filmed, the director team including myself, we all hope that it can be more perfect, so everyone is competing with themselves, little by little grinding, not a sentence called 'Kung Fu is not afraid of iron pestle grinding into a needle'." 」 ”
"Dream Lotus" also has a lot of ultra-low angle tilting movements that break through the limits of the human body, this action is also Yang Dance in order to show the sense of freedom to break through the self, over and over again to practice, over and over again to run out with the props, "This action is actually the strength of the legs, the strength of the waist, and the coordination of the movements are very demanding, when dancing, I am not willing to show my feet, because I have wounds on my feet all year round, but this action can show the audience a good year, other things are irrelevant things." ”
Bitter, but seeing the effect of the program, Yang Wu was also full of a sense of accomplishment: "From the first time I cooperated with Henan Satellite TV "Fire" to now, every program, everyone is so hard to do, this is a kind of professional ethics. ”
The lotus flower transformed into a fairy
The finger dance 20 seconds before the opening of "Dream Lotus" is so smart that it makes people look amazing. Ten fingers danced as if a lotus flower were swaying with the waves.
Yang Wu told reporters, "This "Dream Lotus" I did my own good at anthropomorphic treatment, so at the beginning it was to use my hand to represent a lotus flower, the lotus bloomed from dawn, and at the moment of blooming, she transformed into a fairy. ”
In fact, as early as 13 years ago, Yang Wu also danced a play of "Dream Lotus", and also won the silver medal of the 7th Chinese Dance Lotus Award National Folk Single, Double and Triple Dance Group.
However, Yang Wu said that the two dances are completely different.
She said very modestly that when she performed "Dream Lotus", she was still young, so she imitated the posture of the water lily more, more symbolic, and as she grew older and more experienced, her ideas about things were different.
Today's "Dream Lotus" inspiration is derived from the "Water Moon Guanyin", more from the artistic conception of deconstructing the lotus, from the first perspective of the lotus to feel the rhythm and beauty of life, with a graceful dance posture to interpret the purity and vulgarity of the lotus. And with the minimalist aesthetics of the Song Dynasty, which is freehand, it creates a fascinating state of mind, "I think the reason why everyone likes the lotus is not only because the lotus is not stained out of the mud, but also its indifferent spirit." ”
Some people say that the soft and flexible finger dance in "Dream Lotus" can't help but remind people of Yang Liping.
In fact, Yang Wu is Yang Liping's proud disciple, whose original name was Yang Wu, and it was Yang Liping who changed her name for her. "After I joined the troupe, Teacher Yang saw that I liked dancing so much, so he asked me to change my name to 'dance.'" Dancing "Spirit of the Sparrow" on the stage of the new version of "Yunnan Yingxiang" is Yang Dance.
And the fingers can not only express the peacock, Yang Wu said, in fact, in last year's dance "Fire", she once used her fingers to express the fire element, "The finger can imitate many things in the world, it is only one of the expression techniques." ”
What can Henan Satellite TV do next time?
In the eyes of the main creative team, the "wonderful" night, through history, but also imagine the present. From ancient times to the present, although the customs of festivals have evolved, the emotional core carried has not changed, leaving the present people with philosophy and enlightenment.
"When you see something particularly good, you feel it, you're so excited, you want to show your mood to everyone. That's the mood we are in now, the excitement of discovering this treasure, and I want to share this mood with you. Talking about the passion of creation, Lu Hongli, the general director of "Lantern Magic Tour", said so.
For the team behind the "China Festival" series, netizen praise is both pressure and motivation, and there are always people who worry about what they can do next time? But next time, the Immortal Team can always make new moves. Lu Hongli believes that to do a warm Traditional Chinese culture program, we must bring emotions, "I am not showing you, I am not going to you to popularize science, we are taking you to love together." At the same time, she said that the expectations and praise of netizens are pressure and motivation for them.
"I am particularly grateful for everyone's love, so it is still the same sentence that was said at the press conference of "Lantern Night" last year: 'There is no return, only works'." Lu Hongli said.
