Wang Bingbing melted the winter with a song "Running Wantonly on the Grass", Zeng Li wore a handsome jacket to "fly away", and Dong Yuhui told about the "magic" of the Internet in "Five Seconds"... In the 2023 Small Chinese New Year's Eve, the Spring Festival Gala (hereinafter referred to as "Net Evening") will continue to forge ahead in the future, with the theme of "opening up a new together, creating the future together", showing the spiritual outlook of young people and creating a youth ecology.
The performers of the evening program are mostly literary and artistic workers who have become very popular on the Internet in recent years and other practitioners in various fields, who use their singing, dancing and creativity to tell the struggle stories of ordinary people and present the youth portraits of the young generation.
The party has unique ingenuity in the creation of stage beauty, combined with traditional culture and emerging technology, to build a stage space like a "treasure box" that can be opened layer by layer, with a sense of art, immersion and extension, so that those youthful lives full of positive energy shine on the stage.
Life force in ordinary fireworks
In 2004, Ashin sang in the song "Stubbornness", "When I am different from the world, then let me be different, and to insist on it for me is to overcome rigidity." With this song, he shouted out the courage and perseverance of young people to find the unique meaning of life, so as to encourage everyone who walks forward on the road of dreams and never succumb to difficulties.
On the stage of the 2023 Internet Night, rural teacher Gu Ya and Haiga Band performed a different kind of "Stubbornness" on the stage, a pure children's voice from the depths of the mountain, full of original ecological life force, containing determination and effort to cross the mountain.
"Stubborn"
Haiga Band is composed of children from Haiga Primary School in Liupanshui City, Guizhou. In 2014, Gu Ya became a teacher at Haiga Primary School, seeing that the children in the mountains were introverted, shy, and timid, he thought that maybe it could be improved through the cultivation of interests outside of education, so he led everyone to form a band, planted confidence and dreams in the hearts of children through rock, and encouraged them to bravely go to the outside world. When each band member graduates, they pass on their instruments to the next generation.
This year, Gu Ya took a new batch of Haiga teenagers to the stage. The children brought their brothers and sisters' musical instruments and their dreams to express their hearts from the depths of the mountains. In Gu Ya's view, the Internet has changed their lives, "Music is an interest and hobby, and participating in performances is to expand their horizons." "The Haiga Band is a spiritual inheritance among the students of Haiga Primary School, and it also tells people that the region does not restrict the breadth of life, and the power of chasing dreams will burst into light in the children who are stubbornly moving forward.
The original intention of the online evening is to capture the spiritual power of endeavor contained in those ordinary strugglers. "What we are, our future is what it is, our world is what it is." In different fields, those who persist in dreaming and bravely exploring their lives are pure and wonderful.
At the beginning of the program "Dashing Once", Zhang Yanqi and Wang Mian picked up their mobile phones to shoot vlogs and interact with young people in different fields. There are ordinary couples who record their outdoor life, peasant couples who create their own happy dance steps in the fields, and "Brother Q" who introduces their hometown in bilingual with their dream of being a tour guide...
"Dashing Walk"
As the original rap in the song sings, "Looking at the dazzling life, the ebb and flow gives me a feeling", in recent years, more and more people have shared their steaming lives through the Internet, driving more people to record themselves and feel different fireworks in the world.
In a dream stage composed of hot air balloons, Wang Xinling, who "rode the wind and waves" this year and evoked the youth memories of countless people, expressed the attitude of "laughing at life, embracing the rainbow" with a song "Rainbow Smile", and the sweet song conveyed the power of healing.
She said goodbye to the past year and ushered in the new year with the iconic "Compare Heart" gesture. Here, "comparing hearts" is an action to convey gratitude, friendliness and love, and it is also a witness to the beautiful moments of last year, such as the comparison of foreign friends to the Winter Olympic staff, and the comparison of Chinese astronauts at the moment of opening the capsule when they returned to Earth... Wang Xinling hopes that in the new year, "let us face life with a smile, face the people around us, smile, it's no big deal."
"Rainbow Smile"
In addition to the program, we have seen the power bursting out of too many ordinary people, and those vivid pyrotechnics and beautiful visions together constitute the theme of the Internet evening - using the spiritual core of "youth", breaking through oneself, crossing the circle, and drawing a wonderful "new picture book".
The attitude of young people can be seen in excellent traditional culture
"National tide" is the keyword of Generation Z in recent years, and its rise reflects the cultural confidence and sense of responsibility of young people. As an evening party that attracts the attention of young people, Netnight obviously understands everyone's preferences, and the beauty of China's excellent traditional culture is highlighted everywhere in the program.
Dance is a silent language, but emotions strike straight to the heart. At the party, Xiao Shunyao, Xu Jiaqi and several other hometown dance troupes from different regions "managers" fused traditional folk dances and modern dances, and 5 dance troupes competed with each other, bringing a "Youth National Tide Version Hometown Guide". Dance beauty and musical battle songs, each move is arbitrary and free, expressing not only their pride and love for their hometown, but also the inheritance and innovation of their hometown culture and folklore.
In the "Move" program, various weapons in traditional Chinese martial arts are connected in the form of cards, and in the card moves of two cute children, Zhang Hanliang and Ding Yuyuan, two "warriors", have a new and interesting setting.
《Move》
Zhang Hanliang is a national martial arts champion, and previously at the 2022 CCTV National Day Gala, a video of her and Zhao Wenzhuo "kicking knives in the air" went viral and was imitated by many netizens. On social platforms, she shared her martial arts training videos, attracting millions of fans. This time she landed on the Internet late, hoping to attract everyone's attention to more Chinese weapons and fall in love with Chinese martial arts through the diversified form of "Moves". At the same time, in her creation, she emphasizes "being responsible for culture and ensuring rigor and professionalism".
The Chinese style dance program "Drunken Ink" combines AR technology to let the father-son relationship of Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi travel through time and space, and the charm of calligraphy flows on the stage. The two dancers, Zeng Ming and Zhang Han, took "Sanxitangji Intention" as the starting point to show the calligraphy gesture of "floating like a floating cloud, like a dragon" in the changing green, blue and red stages. "Green symbolizes the father's teaching to his son to follow the good way, blue is the son's infinite vision for the future, and red is conveying the surging hearts of the two." Zeng Ming explained.
Last year, Zhang Han's dance "Only This Green Green" surprised everyone with his paintings. This year, he continues to draw inspiration from the stories of famous ancient artists, interpreting the beauty of words with "Drunken Ink", he firmly believes that "cultural self-confidence is very important, digging deep into traditional culture, there is always a period that you want to continue to understand after you understand it." ”
"Drunken Ink"
Excellent traditional culture always has the charm of transcending time and space. When it appears on the stage in the form of "youth", through the innovative interpretation of the performers, close to the current life, we can better appreciate its connotation. As Zeng Ming said: "Although the ancients are far away from us, people and people's emotions must be connected, and the full feeling of culture makes them fuller." ”
Another major feature of the online evening program is that it collides between multiple cultures, integrates traditional ancient style with youth elements, and presents it in a way that everyone likes to see, so as to achieve the harmony and rebirth of circle culture.
For example, in the show "Red Makeup" starring Shang Wenjie and Yang Yang, pop music and new opera are blended with each other, not only the long charm of national essence, but also the matching of Western instruments, and the hearty music is mixed to express the confident attitude of young people to "be themselves". "The four words of 'integrity and innovation' have profound significance for opera, and it is also a very clear direction, which must be innovated and developed with the times on the basis of doing a good job in traditional culture." In Yang Yang's view, this is the answer to "why open up new things" in art.
The program "New Hundred Birds and Phoenixes" is even more diversified in style, and even tripled in the exhibition: Fang Haoran, the national non-genetic inheritor, opened with "ventriloquist", which led to a symphony of Western culture; As the silk bamboo orchestra sounds, the Eastern Folk Music and Western Symphony Ensembles play against each other with the theme of "birds"; Finally, in the ending song "Phoenix in Flight" of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", which the audience has been chasing for more than ten years, singer Huang Ling appeared on the stage, bringing the atmosphere to a climax.
"New Birds and Phoenixes"
From Peking Opera, martial arts, calligraphy, Chinese characters to folk music, Netnight uses the power of cultural inheritors who are loved by netizens in different fields to explore the charm of classical culture in a new form, so that it can be rejuvenated. It turns out that culture is always young.
"Rock Aesthetics" where love is the living force
"Cool" has become more and more people's attitude to life, and it has nothing to do with gender, age, or occupation. Even after thousands of sails, he still has a love for life and uses "rock philosophy" to establish the order of his own world. On this year's tennis evening stage, I witnessed these cool tricks of life.
Two elderly people, Zhang Shuangli and Peter Chen, with an average age of more than 70, interpreted their "rock spirit" with a song "Flowers All the Way". Dressed in jeans and standing in front of Standing Mai, his thick voice penetrates the years, telling the story of "I wish to make flowers all the way, and escort the dreams of that time against the wind and sand", which makes people listen quietly involuntarily.
The 70-year-old Zhang Shuangli has a legendary experience, he has loved theater since he was a child, and entered the coal factory at the age of 17 and worked for 9 years. But he did not accept his fate, went to the railway literary troupe and other places to learn from teachers, and finally entered the film and television industry at the age of 32 and fought a new world. Entering old age, he has become the "trendiest old man" on major shows. Outside of life, he enjoys playing games, skydiving, and driving go-karting, "making friends with young people and learning new things to keep a young mind." ”
"Flowers All the Way"
Peter Chen, an 80-year-old Taiwanese man, wrote many popular songs such as "One Cut Mei", "Late" and "Alibaba" in the 70s and 80s of last century, which influenced the Chinese pop music scene. In 2018, he stood on the stage of "The Voice of China 2018" as a newcomer, which attracted a lot of attention on the Internet. Today, his music focuses on inheriting China's excellent traditional culture, integrating a variety of musical forms, allowing ancient poetry to move from books to staves, pursuing the combination of history and modernity.
Don't let age limit the possibility of life, this is Zhang Shuangli and Peter Chen's answer to the study of life. On the stage of this online evening, they also collaborated and sang a song "My Motherland", expressing that "in this ancient land, there is the power of youth everywhere", wishing everyone the courage to run all the time, and "all the way to flowers" in the new year.
Dare to break the conventions of life is the true "rock spirit". In the AI magic show "Five Seconds", Dong Yuhui used technology to review various new developments in China in the past year, and also told about the important five seconds of his life. It was the morning of June 8, 2022, and thousands of people suddenly poured into the live broadcast room, which usually had few people, who came to see Dong Yuhui's sharing of astronomy, geography, poetry and philosophy.
"It's actually a lot of five-second morning, which is very important to our transformation process and my career, and has changed my personal life a lot." This young teacher opened a new trend of live streaming with knowledge words, and injected a "cooling agent" into the "short, flat and fast" fragmented information flow.
"Five Seconds"
In the program, Dong Yuhui hopes that everyone will find the "original intention", find the "new opening", and find the "new departure" in the new starting point. Find the most appropriate goal in your own life track, find your professional identity and sense of mission, climb over every hill, and come to a new world full of wonders, which is the confession of all "undefined lives" in the net.
Through a series of wonderful programs, the 2023 Internet Gala brings the audience the "rock spirit" and also brings "human sobriety", that is, using a broad vision and valuable expression to see different angles of life. "Open up a new together, create the future together", and to "open a new one", the most important thing is actually "attentive", focused, enthusiastic, brave, there will always be surprises in the future.
