"Youth is the future of business. Only when young literary and art workers become stronger can our literary and artistic undertakings form a vivid situation in which the back waves of the Yangtze River push forward. It is necessary to recognize, love, respect, and use talents, guide young literary and art workers to abide by the right path and take the road, encourage them to innovate more and produce fine works, support them in picking up the big beams and being the protagonists, let contemporary Chinese writers and artists rush out like springs, and make the sky of Chinese literature and art more brilliant. General Secretary Xi Jinping placed high hopes on young literary and art workers in his important speech at the opening ceremony of the Eleventh National Congress of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the Tenth National Congress of the China Writers Association.
During the two sessions of the National People's Congress in 2022, cultivating young literary and art workers and creating a clean and healthy literary and artistic circle has become a hot topic of discussion among the representatives and members of the literary and art circles.
How to encourage, nurture and guide the "back wave" of literature and art,
In creative practice
Plump wings, heading towards the sun?
Listen to what the delegates have to say
Strengthen the leadership of positive forces and establish lofty ideals
Wu Weishan, member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, director of the National Art Museum of China, and vice chairman of the China Artists Association, proposed that the cultivation of talents depends on the guidance of ideas, the support of projects, and the guarantee of action, so that young literary and art workers have sustenance for their ideals, pursue their spirits, have confidence in their careers, and have hope for their future.
Wu Weishan made a suggestion on cultivating young literary and art workers in the field of fine arts: "First of all, we must lead young people to establish lofty ideals, have ambitions, set great aspirations, do great things, and do things for the people. According to Wu Weishan, the National Art Museum of China took the opportunity to donate a bronze statue of Wang Jicai, a "model of the times", to hold a theme party day activity on Kaishan Island; to visit the Xiangshan Revolution Memorial Hall by holding the commemorative stamp launch ceremony of the "200th Anniversary of the Birth of Engels"; to relive the history of the party in front of the large-scale sculpture "Banner" in the History Exhibition Hall of the Communist Party of China, highlight the party's mission in the new era, and "cast the soul" for the youth. Through this series of national thematic art creations, we guide young art workers to consciously establish the value pursuit and behavior responsibility of creating for the people ideologically.
Use educational resources to build a bridge for growth
Professional art education is the only way for young literary and art workers to become talents. Many deputies and members of the CPPCC National Committee are based on their literary and artistic disciplines and cultural industries, and directly attack the urgent needs of the professional art education and talent training system.
"Talent is the core force of the development of Sichuan opera, and cultivating high-level creative talents and masters of virtue and art is an urgent need for the development of literature and art in the new era." Shen Tiemei, deputy to the National People's Congress, vice chairman of the China Drama Association, chairman of the Chongqing Municipal Federation of Literature and Literature, and president of the Chongqing Sichuan Theater, proposed the establishment of the Sichuan Opera Art Promotion Association and the Sichuan Opera Development Fund to help the cultural construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing Twin Cities Economic Circle.
Shen Tiemei said that the Promotion Association and the Fund can provide a platform for the cultivation of outstanding talents, through the introduction of short-term, medium-term and long-term Sichuan opera talent training planning and improve the relevant systems, for various art groups or institutions to cultivate creative, performance, management, and commentary talents; through the construction of platforms and events, to provide a stage for young talents to become famous and become a family; support old artists to play a role in helping and cultivating reserve talents; guide, cultivate and serve new literary and artistic groups, and stimulate the creative vitality of talents.
Opera is a treasure of China's excellent traditional culture, after years of innovation by artists, opera has finally rejuvenated in the new era, gradually returning to the daily life of the masses, and becoming a hot spot that more and more young people pay attention to and love. During the two sessions, representatives from the opera circles also made suggestions and suggestions on the cultivation of young opera talents.
Zeng Xiaomin, deputy to the National People's Congress and president of the Guangdong Cantonese Theatre, made suggestions on the construction of the opera cultural education system, suggesting that a full-time Guangdong Opera Academy should be established with reference to the settings of the China Drama Academy or the Shanghai Theater Academy to enroll students in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
Guangdong is rich in opera resources, but there is no perfect and comprehensive opera talent training academy. Students who are sent to schools such as the China Academy of Drama are difficult to return to, and even if they complete their studies, they lack the style of local drama; the upgraded education and continuing education resources for Guangdong opera workers are generally lacking. To this end, Zeng Xiaomin proposed to "combine the characteristics of Guangdong's local opera, open professional teaching such as opera editing and directing music and beauty, and then carry out rescue protection for various drama genres in the Greater Bay Area, and professionally cultivate professional artistic talents; realize the characteristic integration of outstanding drama genres, and work together, systematic and scientific, and continuously standardize the education and performance work."
The construction of the teaching staff is the key to the construction of a high-quality education system. Feng Yuanzheng, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and vice president of the Beijing People's Art Theater, proposed to strengthen practical training for professional teachers in art colleges and universities, and he believed that for art colleges and universities, especially in practice-oriented majors such as acting and directing, teachers are required not only to have a solid professional theoretical foundation, but also to have profound creative practice; and in the current art colleges and universities, teachers who are engaged in teaching in directing, acting and other disciplines are mostly university graduates who stay in school to study for graduate schools, study for doctoral studies, become lecturers, and become professors. In this process, such teachers have no real experience in participating in creative practice, or have less experience, and there is a gap with the front line of the art profession, which directly affects the quality of teaching. ”
In this regard, Feng Yuanzheng suggested that the time, content and standards for teachers to participate in art practice should be regulated in the industry, ensuring that every teacher should have at least 6 to 8 months every five years, and can practice in the front line of art production, and the quality of participation in practice will be linked to the assessment and other systems to ensure that the implementation is in place.
Foster and guide young literary and art workers to cultivate their skills in creative practice
"Those who do this in our business must 'pay attention' and cannot 'settle down.'" During the two sessions, Gong Hanlin, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and a national first-class actor of the China Radio Rap Group, said in an interview, "Teacher Zhao Lirong often says this sentence, which is also my motto for engaging in artistic creation. Now I'm giving it to young literary workers. "He reminded the newcomers not to lose themselves in the face of all kinds of temptations, not to compare traffic with the quality of art, only with their own works of art, with their own masterpieces, will be one step closer to excellent actors or artists." Creation is the central task of literary and artistic work, and it is also the foundation of literary and artistic workers. ”
At the same time, Gong Hanlin also suggested that young actors should combine performance theory and performance practice, practice more, exercise more, sharpen more, find problems in the process of performance, and correct themselves in time.
"The future of music needs to be passed on; the younger generation needs to go into the rivers and seas, to exercise, to practice, to find their own growth model." 」 Yu Long, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, vice chairman of the Chinese Music Association and a famous conductor, is full of trust and expectation for young music workers, not only keeping a close eye on their growth and development, but also actively committed to finding a platform for them to practice performances.
Since 2017, Yu Long has served as the artistic committee chairman of Guangdong International Youth Music Week, and together with the famous cellist Yo-Yo Ma, he has helped many outstanding young musicians explore multiple paths of musical expression and push them to the center of the stage. In 2020, under the initiative of Yu Long, the "Blue Bird Project" to support and cultivate young musical talents provided a group of young musicians full of vitality and embraced musical ideals with rich performance opportunities, so that they could be trained in performance practice and gradually gain wings.
"I insist that young people should be given a high degree of freedom and as much support as possible, so that talented performers can participate more freely, without having to worry about some commercial and practical factors from the beginning of the artistic road, which will affect their understanding and creation." Yu Long said that he will spare no effort to provide space and platform for young musicians to display their musical ideals and artistic enthusiasm, and encourage them to show their talents and courage in innovative practice. "Young people need to have a sense of the overall situation and a world-oriented mindset, so that they can lead a generation to the world and show the world the style of Chinese young people in the new era without hesitation. Yu Long said.
The vast number of young literary and artistic workers
It is a new force for the prosperity and development of socialist literature and art,
The future belongs to the "back wave" of the literary and art circles.
Representatives and members of the literary and artistic circles
From ideological guidance, educational mechanism reform,
Creative practice and other aspects
Give them attention, guidance,
Nurture, nurture and anticipate,
I wish young literary and art workers to establish lofty ideals,
Guided by the positive forces of the industry,
Depicting the spiritual map of the times,
Portrait of the times, biography for the times,
For the times Matilda,
Create literary and artistic achievements in practice!
