At 13:00 on February 20, the cover news reporter interviewed dancer He Linqian by phone. This year's Lantern Festival, Henan Satellite TV hosted the "Lantern Wonderful Tour" once again caused heated discussion, of which the dance "Once Upon a Time Slow", He Lin Qianna's graceful lead dance, and the little sisters' cheongsam show were beautiful, stunning and shocking.
The dance "Once Upon a Time Slow" reproduces the Jiangnan style. He Linqian, an actor of the Beijing Dance Academy Youth Troupe, and the dancers, dressed in cheongsam, are as frightened as a dragon, as if they are dragons, if their shoulders are cut, and their waists are like Yosu.

Director Wei Sijia introduced the behind-the-scenes story: "The dance "Once Upon a Time Slow", this show is less than 3 minutes and forty seconds, we have been polishing from material selection to style collection to practical polishing for a full ten months, which shows that we have really put in enough 'slow' kung fu. As a choreographer, watching the works from scratch, the bits and pieces of them are vividly remembered. At the beginning of the completion of the work is a nearly eight-minute group dance work, we look for the gait of the lantern bridge for nearly a month, practice different moves, want to find the sense of proportion of the southern temperament; in music, we and the composer repeatedly changed three drafts, both to have the characteristics of southern music and have a sense of the situation of the upper yuan festival; in the costume styling, we are also from the style to the fabric, from the bun to the earrings, polishing all the details; in the choice of lead dance, I also painstakingly, under repeated deliberation and observation, I found He Linqian, In fact, each dancer himself will exude different characteristics, and I think that the characteristics of He Linqian's arrogance but not dryness, slowness and not greasiness, beauty and beauty are exactly in line with the unique temperament of Jiangnan women, we hit it off, and practice has proved that my choice is correct. We polish a little bit, from walking to posture to breathing, and even to the size of the smile, our almost harsh rehearsal is undoubtedly a pursuit of our work. Due to the invitation and request received by Henan Satellite TV Lantern Magic Night, we compressed the program into the version that everyone sees at present, and did not expect that after the broadcast, it was well received by the industry and outside, I think as a choreographer, this is undoubtedly a great relief and encouragement, and thank you for your liking for the little sisters of "Once Upon a Time". I also hope that through this poem by Mr. Mu Xin, let us calm our hearts and feel the beauty around us. ”
Professor Jin Hao of the Beijing Dance Academy, after watching the dance, was excited, and he wrote a poem "Looking for the Moon" with seven "Tibetan famous poems": "The hand-held lantern drives away the night, and the Chang'e Moon Temple is bright." Chenglin snow stains empty alleys, humble dances and timid warblers. ”
He Linqian told the cover news reporter: "I have been studying dance in Beijing since I was more than 10 years old. Dance is my life. Our performance of "Once Upon a Time Slow" at the Lantern Party of Henan Satellite TV this time was rehearsed for several months, which made me feel the joy of innovation in dance art! ”
