"The Han figurines are alive!" "It was danced by Henan Science Popularization, and the mood of "Dream Lotus" was extinguished" "On the national style, you can always believe in Henan" "I declare "The Lantern Covenant" is the favorite"... On the evening of February 14, the much-watched 2022 "Lantern Magic Tour" arrived as promised, and continued to use aesthetic audiovisual language and traditional cultural interest to circle the fans. There are not only four major inventions, lion dances, but also the traditional custom of Jiangnan women's lanterns "walking the bridge" to drive away all diseases. "Dream Lotus", "Five Stars out of the East", "Once Upon a Time Slow", "Encounter at Nighttime", "Back to the Horse Gun" and other programs have also gained high popularity.
"Dream Lotus" is "full of fairy spirit", and the southern elements have also entered the game for the first time
The 2022 "Lantern Magic Tour" is produced by Henan Radio and Television Station and co-produced by Youku. As the director of the "Chinese Festivals" series, as soon as he arrives at traditional Chinese festivals, he is "urged". Despite the pressure, judging from the current feedback from netizens, the 52-minute program has a delicate structure and far-reaching meaning, continuing the high quality of the "Chinese Festival" series. Among them, the scene dance "New Year's Eve Covenant" and the dance "Once Upon a Time" all convey the warm and beautiful emotional flow of the world through different display forms.
And the most enthusiastic response is the dance "Dream Lotus" and "Five Stars out of the East". Fingertips stretch out, like lotus petals blooming in layers, step by step, ripples and undulations between the rise and fall of dancers. After the Spring Festival Gala hit "Only This Green", the dance "Dream Lotus" shows the magical process from flower buds to blooms with movements, and at the same time, through the minimalist aesthetics of the Song Dynasty, which leaves blank and freehand, shows a dream that abandons complexity and is pure and timeless. The oriental aesthetics created by this "fingertip dance" made netizens marvel at the "absolute beauty".
Lu Hongli, the general director, revealed, "'Dream Lotus' is a solo dance created with the theme of lotus blossoming, which is very in the style of Teacher Yang Liping, such as the shaping of the body shape and the expression of the dance vocabulary of the fingers. At the same time, the packaging of the dance in this dance, including the use of dance techniques, presents the high quality of the lotus. ”
The performer Yang Wu is Yang Liping's proud disciple. It is reported that after entering the group, seeing that Yang Wu likes to dance, Yang Liping changed her name to the "dance" of the dance. On the stage of the new version of "Yunnan Image", it is she who dances "Spirit of the Sparrow". Last year, in the dance "Fire", Yang Wu also used his fingers to express the fire element. In her opinion, fingers can imitate many things in the world.
The dance "Five Stars out of the East" is another quaint charm. It places a story of a Han Dynasty brocade arm guard under the astronomical spectacle of "the convergence of five stars of gold, wood, water, fire and earth", and vividly displays the profound cultural connotation carried by precious cultural relics on the stage. Many netizens have commented that "the Han figurines are alive" and "watch the "Lantern Wonderful Tour" to increase knowledge".
The exquisite skills of the Southern Lion, the graceful beauty of the women of Wuzhen Jiangnan Water Village, and it is striking that the southern elements have entered the "wonderful tour" for the first time. "Once Upon a Time Slow" uses a lantern to light up the beautiful vision in the heart, experience Chinese romance together, and feel the loyalty and persistence attached to the program.
Dig deep into the humanistic connotation of "Lantern Festival" and step into the world of lights
As a lantern party that suits the scene, the director team of the evening party also continues to dig deep into the humanistic connotation of "Lantern" on the basis of the innovative expression of excellent traditional culture. Interestingly, the three series of serial programs "Yuan Zhi Always", "Meeting at Midnight Time" and "Illumination of Vientiane" also correspond to the three themes of "Lantern Magic Tour" of this session, "Yuan", "Supper" and "Lamp".
For example, the liveliness, reunion and festivities of the Lantern Festival, the audience can immerse themselves in the visual show "Watching the Mountains and Rivers Lion Dance oriental" and the food show "Five Tastes Harmony" to feel the lively Lantern folk customs and rich fireworks.
From Xilina Yigao's singing, everyone can appreciate the romance and beauty of the Lantern Festival - "The Lantern Festival is an invisible memorial day, at the junction of the past and the future". The moon is on the willow tip, and the person is about after dusk. Meeting at night is to go on a long-awaited date before the moonlight sprinkles on the world, when the lanterns are about to light up the night sky.
The "lamp" can be a small orange lamp in the home, or it can be the light of civilization, the light of protection, and the light of truth. An oil lamp when the sages were studying, a lantern escorted by the general, a trumpet lamp mentioned by Mr. Li when the station was sending off the students, the old table lamp that was persistently lit in the bungalow of Lop Nur ... The dots of lights converge into thousands of lights, reflecting the prosperity of the taiping.
The song "Rainbow of Storms and Rains" celebrates the victory of the Chinese women's football team in the Asian Cup, and also reflects the Vientiane Qinghui emitted by the power of Chinese women in this high-spirited era. The meaning of the Lantern Festival also extends from the reunion of the small family to the lights of ten thousand homes. However, the 52-minute program length made netizens feel "not enough to watch".
"Wonderful Night" travels through history and imagines the present
In addition, in terms of visual expression, it continues the aesthetic style of the national tide style, while integrating the current multicultural elements, which is the housekeeping skill of the "Chinese Festivals" series behind the scenes. In the program, from the 416 women's group of Lao Dan Bian Jingting, Cheng Pai Qingyi Yang Huai, Mei Pai Qingyi Zhu Jiayin, Xun Pai Hua Dan Crested Ibis, Hua Dan Cheng School Morning with the drama of the explosion network, the song "Back to the Horse Gun" brought this time into the opera elements, both fantasy and dynamic, telling the five girls after 00 in the university dormitory a "strange encounter". With the beat of the music, they escaped into the two-dimensional space, fell into the four scenes of "Wind Forest Volcano", transformed into a two-dimensional virtual shape, held a silver gun and fought with a monster representing evil, and finally gathered everyone's strength to defeat the monster and usher in the light, highlighting the heroic spirit of ordinary people standing up.
In the interview, the main creative team told reporters that the "wonderful" night, through history, but also imagined 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 sentence that was said at the press conference of "Lantern Night" last year: 'There is no return, only works'. Lu Hongli said.
