Theme upgrade Immersive experience of the great beauty of China in poetry
As the key debut program of the Literary and Art Program Center of the General Taiwan Station this year, "Classic Arias And Songs: Great Beauty of China" will lead the audience to intuitively understand the natural and cultural scenery and their history through poetry interpretation, song interpretation, and a large number of live-action shooting shots.
The program will open a new season in Zhang Jie's opening theme song "Great Beauty of China", between the lyrics, there are splendid and magnificent poetic mountains and rivers, and it is also the spiritual food that the literati have passed down to this day. From the great Beauty of China to the specific rivers and mountains, Li Bai's poems have become an important clue in the program. He traveled all over the north and south, writing a large number of poems praising the famous mountains and rivers. With Hu Yanbin's singing of "Wangtianmen Mountain" in the first program as the introduction, Li Bai's journey out of Shu and down the Yangtze River is linked to the Yangtze River in geography, from "Emei Mountain Moon Half Wheel Autumn" to "Sijun Does Not See The Lower Yuzhou", from "The Mountain Ends with the Plains, the River Enters the Great Desolate Stream" to "The Lonely Sail is Far Away from the Blue Sky, Only the Yangtze River Skyline Flows", the program will lead the audience to further appreciate the beauty of the motherland's mountains and rivers through poetry.
A series of geographical spaces such as the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, the Grassland, Taishan, the Great Wall, and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal will appear in the program. In the first program, when the 78-year-old horse-head piano player Qi Baoligao played Mongolian music with a unique style on the spot, the vast grasslands, herds of cattle and sheep, cascading mountains, meandering rivers and other scenes also appeared one by one, and the vitality of the culture itself and the integration and collision between various ethnic groups were more vividly reflected.
In fact, "Great American China" not only refers to our incomparably vast motherland, mountains, rivers and mountains; it also refers to our long history, civilization and culture; it also refers to a kind of spirit, a style, demeanor and demeanor unique to our Chinese. In the poetry of each specific location, the main poems and styles of different periods are excavated, the vivid aspects of the Chinese past are constantly collected, and the historical trend of Chinese culture for thousands of years is sorted out from them, thus constituting an exploration of the endless and long-standing civilization process of the Chinese nation.
More importantly, the program still returns to the current spirit of the times, the understanding of the connotation of this "Chinese beauty", the mastery of the needs of the times, through the excavation and telling of the story of the times with both temperature and depth, truly make abstract and distant poetry can be visualized. Whether it is the national pride and heroic attitude in Cen Shan's poems, or Lu You and Su Shi finding their inner peace and comfort in the beauty of nature, they all integrate deep life sentiments and philosophical thinking into the singing.
The great rivers and rivers not only gave birth to this nation, but also gave birth to the spirit of tenacious struggle in the blood and genes of this nation, as well as the tolerant mentality of the sea.
Black technology helps "de-stage" the combination of virtual and real to refresh the audience's imagination
When the classic singer Wang Xi and the "trumpet boy" Zhu Deen at the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics walked through the stage together to sing "The Song of The Festival", with the song "Spring Rain Shocks the Spring Valley Day, Summer is Full of Summer and Summer and Summer are Connected." Autumn dew autumn frost falls, winter snow and winter small cold" four seasons change, the main color of the stage is also flowing in green, blue, gold, white, let people feel as if they are in the vast world.
On the opening day of the Beijing Winter Olympics, the countdown to the opening ceremony was inspired by the 24 solar terms, highlighting traditional Chinese culture and making the world sigh "Chinese romance". Inspired by this, "Song of Festivals" is reinterpreted, not only reproducing the supplementary calendar used by ancient Chinese to guide agricultural affairs, but also a poetic song of Chinese way of life. When classical singing overlaps with Chinese culture, folk customs and folk customs are passed down from generation to generation, and the universal value of historical civilization is also brought into play.
"Classic Arias : Great Beauty of China" will also bring immersive choreography. When the grass stacks on the stage are piled up, Qi Baoligao, dressed in national costumes, plays the horse's head organ, and Guo Caijie sings "Cattle and sheep scatter in the sunset, and the wild grass is sweet and fragrant cheese." Wind and sand are like snow, felt curtains under the house tent", with the cooperation of light and shadow, the rhythm is progressive layer by layer, the light, falling flowers, wind and sand... The rich imagery has a more specific carrier.
What is even more surprising is that the program uses AR, holograms and other technologies, and the virtual scene and the real stage are combined, so that the magnificent scenes in many poems are imagined into concrete, and the poems and paintings are transformed into amazing dream worlds at the same time. At the Spring Festival Gala in 2022, the music and dance poetry and painting program "Remembering Jiangnan" used a Jiangnan ancient dance, five Tang poems and Song poems, supplemented by high-tech means, so that the Fuchun landscape entered the eyes of the national audience. When the scroll of "Fuchun Mountain Jutu" was opened again, the audience left the stage with their wings, the two-dimensional ink painting became a three-dimensional space, and the four classic singers of Ayunga, Yang Zongwei, Zheng Qiyuan and Cai Chengyu dressed as "fisher fathers" and sat in the boat wearing buckets, and the boat and people became part of the whole scenery. They sang the words of Lu You and Su Shi, and the mood of a pole of wind and moon and a smoke and rain became more and more real.
Based on the innovative quality and resource advantages of the Main Station Literary and Art Program Center, "Classic Arias Circulating and Great Beauty of China" conveys the Chinese voice in the integration and also shows the beauty of China through various forms of panorama. The "de-staged" literary and artistic presentation is in line with the theme of "Great Beauty of China" to the greatest extent, and "poetry, song, people, and scenery" are unified. Step by step, empathy for the scene, each stage is highly connected with the artistic conception of the performance itself, the boundaries of the stage are blurred, and the audience can then enter the poetry, go deep into history, and step into the mountains and rivers.
With the bold conception of mountains and rivers, picture scrolls, monuments, etc., the creative music and dance poetry and paintings show a very imaginative and shocking audio-visual effect, making people feel as if they are in different spatial situations, crossing time and space to feel the imagery conveyed by classic poetry. This also lays out a thick natural and cultural background for the program, along the historical flow and the imprint of civilization evolution, and will carry the content of the unique traditional culture of each region.
All kinds of cultural highlights gathered around the world to compose a true "beauty and coexistence"
Over the past five seasons, "Classic Poetry Circulation" has continuously innovated the way of disseminating classic poetry culture, playing the role of the purest classical singer, so that traditional culture can be revitalized with current value.
As the ancient paintings of "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" disappeared, what appeared on the screen were the current cities, rivers and green mountains, and Su Shi's "Xingxiangzi • Crossing the Seven Mile Se" was sung again, and the ideal of "heavy like a painting, song like a screen" also had a more realistic sample. And when Zhang Weijian sang the verse in Cen Shan's "Liangzhou Pavilion and the Night Collection of Judges", "Seeing the autumn grass in front of the Huamen Building, how can you look at the old man poorly and lowly." You can laugh several times in your life, and you must get drunk when you meet each other" also shows the attitude of life that even if you are in the border plug, you still have to maintain a free and confident attitude.
The program draws knowledge nutrients and spiritual connotations from history and the people, and echoes with the most vivid themes of the times, including the new atmosphere of "rural revitalization" and the beautiful life of "well-off dreams", so that the singing can truly enter the soul.
The struggle of people in all different regions is integrated to form the most moving and rich picture of the Chinese nation. The pipa sound at the base of "A Few Times of Laughter in a Lifetime" further presents the magnificence of thousands of troops and horses, and the pipa is also a "mixed-race child" of the combination of Central Plains instruments and Western musical instruments, and in the development of knowledge and stories such as poetry, songs, and musical instruments, the historical civilization of the sons and daughters of China for thousands of years can also be clearer in the context of geography. It is understood that "Classic Arias Circulating in Great Beauty and China" will also invite singers of different nationalities, different regions and different ages to outline the "classics" of the spirit of Chinese civilization in the reinterpretation of the classics of world national culture.
The all-round upgrade of "Classic Arias And Traditions: Great Beauty of China" has inserted musical wings into poetry, broadened the world of expression, and opened up a broader path for firm cultural self-confidence in the new era. As an iconic and influential cultural quarterly program of the Central Radio and Television Corporation, how will the splendid picture scroll of "Great American China" unfold and how the spirit of the times of traditional culture will be written, so please look forward to the classic singing of the new season.
