The recent conference on solidly promoting the construction of a culturally strong province has aroused strong repercussions among young literary and art workers in Guangdong. To solidly promote the construction of a culturally strong province, it is necessary to stimulate the vitality of cultural talents to innovate and create, so that cultural talents in all fields can get their own place and display their strengths, forming a vivid situation in which a hundred flowers bloom and ten thousand horses gallop.
To make the cause of literature and art truly strong, the strength of young literary and art workers is indispensable. On the road of promoting the creation of fine products and bravely climbing the peak of literature and art, how to exert the power of youth? How to continue the tradition, keep the integrity and innovation, further inherit and promote the Lingnan culture, and tell the story of the Bay Area? Youth representatives in all fields spoke freely.
Based on local culture, promote Chinese original works to "go to sea"
Zhu Hongxing, an outstanding young actor of Guangdong Cantonese Theatre, was "electrocuted" for the first time last year, playing "Green Snake" in the first 4K panoramic Cantonese opera movie "White Snake Legend and Love", and his excellent appearance and acting skills won a group of fans. "Cantonese opera has always kept pace with the times. Works such as "The Legend of the White Snake" and "Decisive Battle of Tiance Fu" can win a new generation of audiences for Cantonese opera because it is close to the present and successfully combines traditional and modern elements. Vermilion said.
She believes that this inspires young artists to firmly seek breakthroughs based on tradition. "On the basis of laying a good foundation and improving our skills, we will also create and interpret youthful fashion works for practical purposes, and experience the creation of different new media communication forms."
"The conference on solidly promoting the construction of a culturally strong province has drawn up a blueprint for cultural development, which has made the vast number of literary and art practitioners very excited." Huang Zhiqian, a young musician in Guangdong, said in an interview with a reporter from Nanfang Daily. Last year, the game music "Pacta Coast - Symphonic Suite of the Thirteen State Capitals", which he composed for the "Three Kingdoms Mobile Game", successfully "went to sea" and was nominated for the instrumental/orchestral work of the year at the 12th Hollywood Music Media Awards.
"This experience made me deeply realize that the nation is the world. To promote China's original music to go global, the youth artistic force has an unshirkable responsibility. Huang Zhiqian believes that the style and sense of music creation need universality, but the foundation and soul must be the excellent culture of the nation. This year, he plans to create a set of vocal suites about the 24 solar terms and the Zen Courtyard Bells, a concerto based on Cantonese music, using modern creative techniques to promote the melody of traditional folk songs, while showing characteristic national instruments, so as to achieve both cultural heritage and international mainstream aesthetic standards.
Leverage the supporting industrial chain and create a new highland for online literature
"To provide a solid and stable value orientation for the construction of a culturally strong province in Guangdong, so that Guangdong culture can better go to the whole country and the world, the role played by literary and art criticism is irreplaceable." Zheng Huanzhao, associate professor of the Department of Chinese of Jinan University and director of the Department of Literature and Art, said in an interview with reporters.
As a young critic, Zheng Huanzhao focuses on younger forms of literature and art such as digital culture and online literature and art. "In the process of promoting the construction of a culturally strong province, we are pleased to see that the achievements of Guangdong's network literature and art are very remarkable." He also pointed out that in the process of promoting Guangdong from a "province with large output value" to a "strong province of works" and becoming a leading place in national digital culture, it is also necessary to gather the strength of commentators, associations, think tanks and other parties to jointly take the pulse of the development of Guangdong's digital culture and truly help content producers to move towards boutique creation.
"The conference on solidly promoting the construction of a culturally strong province is opportune and will strongly encourage Guangdong online writers to invest in the creation of 'benchmark' works." Lin Junmin (Ah Bo), member of the Plenary Committee of the China Writers Association and vice chairman of the Guangdong Writers Association, believes that in recent years, Guangdong's old, middle-aged, and young writers have shown a good momentum of development.
Recently, Lin Junmin is working intensively on the writing of the film and television script of the Qing Dynasty's commercial war history novel "Thirteen Elements". He believes that whether an excellent online literature can rank among the "super first line", on the one hand, requires the author's own ability and efforts, but also needs to leverage the supporting of the cultural industry chain such as industry, finance, film and television, in order to produce works such as "The Biography of Zhen Huan" and "Flowers and Bones" that are popular throughout the country, and move from a "big province" of online literature to a "strong province".
"Since the reform and opening up, Guangdong has made miraculous economic achievements, and I believe that it will also usher in the same brilliant cultural rise." Chen Chongzheng, a young writer, told reporters that this year he is creating two novels set against the background of Guangdong's economic and scientific and technological development, exploring the traditional bloodline of Lingnan and the philosophy of future scientific and technological development.
With young people as messengers, spread the voice of the Bay Area
"Solidly promote the construction of Guangdong as a culturally strong province, and young people will show greater achievements." Luo Li, a first-class screenwriter and vice president of the Guangzhou Academy of Literature and Art Creation, exerts the delicate touch of female authors, refracts social changes and conveys the voice of the people with the pen in her hand. The folk dance drama "Wake Up Lion", written by her, won the 11th Chinese Dance "Lotus Award" Dance Drama Award.
This year, Luo Li has a number of works in progress, focusing on different themes such as the construction of the Bay Area, revolutionary history and Guangdong music. At present, she is working on a radio drama "Gui Valley" that focuses on the "returnees" group in the Bay Area. "The young talents who are active in the Bay Area are a very worthy group to write about, and their entrepreneurial stories are very enthusiastic, and I believe that they can inspire more young people to devote themselves to the construction of the Greater Bay Area." Luo Li introduced that the large-scale instrumental drama "Sai Long Wins the Championship" is also in preparation, hoping to integrate Guangdong music with the Lingnan School, ink landscapes, animation images and other cross-border integration, with innovative and diverse artistic means, on the stage to present the face of Guangdong music in the new era.
"Telling Chinese stories and spreading Lingnan culture in the form of symphonies has always been the mission of the Guangzhou Symphony Orchestra." In the process of promoting the construction of a culturally strong province in Guangdong, Chen Qing, director of the Guangzhou Symphony Orchestra, deeply realized that "symphony is the embodiment of cultural soft power, and only when the country is strong and the economy is developed can the symphony develop."
Chen Qing introduced that this year, the Guangzhou Symphony Orchestra continued to keep up with the pace of the times and spared no effort to create new works. "The first is to dig deep into traditional Chinese culture and participate in the large-scale work "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" led by the China Music Association Symphony Orchestra Alliance and jointly commissioned by more than 20 orchestras across the country; the second is to carry out theme creation in combination with major era nodes, and will entrust Chen Siang, a young composer in Guangdong Province, to compose the symphony "Journey" (tentative name)."
Based in the Bay Area, the Guangzhou Symphony Orchestra is committed to spreading the "Guangdong Voice" to a wider stage this year. "After five years of development, the brand activity 'Guangdong International Youth Music Week' has become a youth culture and art brand project based in the Bay Area and looking at the world. We are planning to invite a second artistic director to inject a new artistic concept into the music week, with young people as messengers, and do a good job of 'Chinese story, world expression'. Chen Qing said that this year will also try all feasible ways such as radio and the Internet to bring popular and relaxed classical music performance forms such as "Sunday Music Afternoon Tea" to other cities and expand its influence in the Bay Area.
