"Riding the Wind 2023" performance picture
Amplify the United States and China with international trends
Fu Sihong Luo Yi
In the early summer of 2023, a female inspirational stage competition variety show produced and broadcast by Mango TV - "Riding the Wind 2023" once again exploded on the screen. The competition of 33 female guests on the same stage made the popularity of this early summer soar rapidly, and also made the passion and wonderful song and dance feast bloom into the beautiful Chinese music that led the international trend.
Women's themes have always been an important theme in international communication. Among the 33 female artists in this season, 7 are international guests from other countries. Chinese American singer Liu Yiyun, Japanese female singer Mei Yi Li Ya, American female singer Tang Bohu, Russian female singer Katerina (Kaili), Vietnamese guest Zhifu, German young pianist Gina Alice, and Korean actress Cho Cera Hyun. Although they speak the language of their respective countries, they have sung the international sound of Chinese music with their passion on the stage of Mango TV in China.
Music knows no borders, and beauty is also a common pursuit of the whole world. Although people from different countries may have differences in culture and customs, this does not affect people's common pursuit of music and beauty. On the contrary, on the same stage, the different performances brought by the cooperation of guests from different countries can bring unexpected wonderful effects.
Culture is the product of exchange and collision, and the value of culture is also reflected in the process of mutual integration. It is often said that the national is also the world, which shows that it is precisely with the culture of the world's nationalities that the multicultural values on our planet have been formed, and it is in the process of cultural exchanges among the world's peoples that the cultural identity on our planet has been formed.
Chinese music has been passed down for thousands of years, which has absorbed diverse musical elements from all ethnic groups in the world. As early as the Tang Dynasty, Chinese music already had music and instruments from Persia, Guizi and other Western Regions. Since then, as the world has been connected as a whole, oriental music and western music have interpreted harmonious melodies in the integration of different stages, blooming brilliantly on different stages.
The integration of art is the most convenient way to open the beauty of culture. People from different countries do not even need a unified language to build a temple of artistic expression through cultural identity, thereby conveying the beauty and cultural value of common art. And the final expression of all this is the interweaving of human emotions and love.
On the stage of "Riding the Wind 2023", we saw guests from different countries expressing their sisterly affection and stage love all the time. We can also often see the emotions and love for China and Chinese music expressed by these sisters from abroad. And our audience gave these guests from abroad the most sincere and warm love, so that they also felt the beauty and love of the Orient.
In the process of performance, the female singer from Japan Mei Yi Liya has previously gained a certain popularity in China, and on the stage of "Riding the Wind 2023", she has countless fans for her Chinese songs. Although it is still difficult to communicate with Chinese, her every interpretation can win the audience's recognition, and her every effort is seen by the audience. Similarly, actor Cho Cera-hyun from South Korea and young pianist Gina Alice from Germany have long been well known to Chinese audiences, and this time, they have also won the recognition and love of Chinese audiences with their performances. Guest Zhifu from Vietnam, although the Chinese audience is not familiar with her enough, she made the Vietnamese audience also like the show, so that "Riding the Wind 2023" achieved "blossoms in the wall and fragrance outside the wall".
Using music to convey the beauty of China and the love of China is the civilization code that our ancient country adheres to, from the construction of ritual civilization to the integration of multiple cultures, regardless of history and future, the belief that Chinese culture conveys the beauty of the East has always been the same. China needs to go global, and the world needs to understand China, which not only needs a bond, but also needs cultural identity. Today, on the stage of "Riding the Wind 2023", the transmission of this cultural value has bloomed in the process of international interpretation.
There is a kind of woman, riding the wind,
From tradition to the future
Xie Yu
"If the wind has annual rings, the wind that blows on your and my faces may be reciting the story of five thousand years. We stand in the wind, sometimes with the wind, sometimes against the wind and spread our wings, listening to the wind, chasing the wind, riding the wind, and finally, becoming part of the wind, and the wind, has no boundaries..."
On the stage of "Riding the Wind 2023", let us break through the border, cross time and space, meet tradition, fashion, youth, future, and the most beautiful China and the world in a kind of warm contemplation of contemporary Chinese women, under the guidance of a new oriental cultural concept.
The beauty of folk music
Le, give us a "home" here.
The huge women's drum music often has a strong sense of substitution, making people go back to the ever-changing ancient battlefield of the cold weapon era, taking us to see that in the traditional Chinese "home", there are not only the virtuous wives and good mothers of their husbands and godchildren, but also Mulan, Mu Guiying, Fan Lihua and other heroes, especially the Southern Song Liang Hongyu who drummed against gold, which can be described as well-known.
"Dragon Fist", based on the unique drum music in traditional Chinese folk music, integrates rap, small voice, street dance, and vigorous dance, and finally falls into the Chinese martial art - boxing.
The creativity of the program takes the spirit of "dragon" as the core essence, collecting dragon patterns from Qin bricks and Hanwa, embroidering them on clothes, and painting them on drums. I saw a light side thrown over, powerfully hitting the Chinese lobby drum, Wang Jianan, the principal percussionist of the China Opera and Dance Theater, opened the scene, with 45 drums and 45 female drummers on the stage. The sound of drums and dragons swim. Two dragons roaring in red and blue appeared on the ground screen under their feet, overflowing with colorful streamers in the background color and space of "black", which was particularly dazzling, and a row of backlights hit the five big heroines who were singing and dancing in the center. The rest are hidden in the shadows, not seen, but heard; On the ground, the image of a huge white jade stone carved pedestal rises from the ground screen, holding up the heroism of the scarf and breathing through Changhong.
The beauty of folk music runs across Eastern and Western civilizations.
The beauty of space
Light, here a circle is drawn.
The stage of "Riding the Wind 2023" takes us to break through helplessness and insignificance, release with our sisters, enter, imagine, enjoy the openness and depth, and find infinite possibilities to reinvent ourselves.
This is a fantasy space, more than 1,000 square meters of circular ground and surrounding façade encircled, with the eyes 3D visual effects, creating a boundless blue deep sea full of vitality, with a huge ice screen full surround manufacturing to achieve romantic whispers under scientific and technological means. The free-flying lens takes us closer, retreat, overlook, look up, cross, circle... In the circle, a high-light pair of liftable shows at the diameter of the showway is crossed, and a ring-shaped, segmented, deconstructed aerial independent stage with staggered heights hangs above, and a light matrix that is always stuck in the rhythm of music and the atmosphere of virtual reality and artistic conception.
A surreal space-time tunnel jumps in front of you, making it impossible to breathe.
In the distance, a group of older sisters dressed in Chinese red walked slowly, and 33 different costumes were like a hundred flowers, romance, dream, passion, tradition, fashion - beauty and beauty.
The beauty of space, connecting the past and the present.
Comprehensive beauty
Clothing and space constitute a "small universe" of women.
Women are like flowers, and love should be nourished and watered. "Sea of Flowers", from the green song, back to the dream, looking for the source of peach blossoms, looking for the petal rain. If it can solidify at that moment, let it stand. If the blossoms are just the scenery on the road, the footprints of youth, let us brush away the sorrow for time, and dye the tenderness and grace. When love is a thing of the past, we grow up, let go, the sea is companion, and the sky is still bright. The singing is like a whisper, a heartfelt word between girlfriends.
The stage quietly changes in the division, combination and division of performance scheduling. The two turned from the center of the flat ground to two independent square lifting stages on the left and the right, folded back to the same place, covered by clouds and fog, rose with the center stage, and sang and duet in Chinese and Japanese bilingual duets, using the hum of the indistinguishable piano sound and the human voice, constantly changing in the true and false sound, presenting a kind of musical inclusion, full and mellow. Singing dreams bloom and is our common wish. At the climax, the petals poured down, like rain and snow, and the flowers bloomed and flew all over the sky, expressing the sorrow, reluctance, nostalgia and regret in the girl's heart.

Based on the excellent traditional Chinese culture, "Riding the Wind 2023" creates a women's theme program that integrates reality shows and variety shows with an open attitude, contemporary aesthetic perspective, modern new technology means and comprehensive innovative thinking.

Riding the wind and riding the wind, big countries take responsibility
Chen Lei
Mango TV's self-produced stage competition variety show "Riding the Wind 2023" recently aired, and 33 international women participated in the show, including professional singers, senior actors, hosts, top dancers, young pianists and women's football goalkeepers, from China, the United States, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam and Russia. Asian, European and American cultures naturally blend here and condense into a colorful stage presentation.
Liu Yiyun and Tang Bohu from the United States, Gina Alice from Germany, Mei Yiliya from Japan, Zhifu from Vietnam, Cho Cera Hyun from South Korea and Katerina (Kaili) from Russia breathed life into the stage of "Riding the Wind 2023".
This is not only reflected in the personal presentation of the first stage, but especially in the first performance. When the Chinese spirit and female power of the debut Xie Na's "Dragon Fist" were amazing, the song Problem presented by Liu Yiyun, Gina Alice and other five-member groups made the European and American wind blow to the face; Subsequently, the duo composed of Gong Linna and Mei Yi Liya sang the beautiful "Sea of Flowers" in Chinese and Japanese; Tang Bohu and Xu Jingyun's "Beauty" shows the traditional Chinese style drama in modern electronic music; Katerina's (Kaili) four-piece group sang "Prisoner of Love" in Chinese and Russian; Qiu Cera Xuan's four-piece group sang "Lonely Ballet" in Chinese and Korean; Chifu's four-piece group sang the Vietnamese song "Jingle Bell" in both Chinese and Vietnamese.
In this round of singing, the audience can strongly feel the most beautiful music blended by the languages of different countries. Simple bilingual use in the same song is not uncommon, the most common is the addition of a small number of English lyrics to the chorus of many Chinese popular songs, but "Riding the Wind 2023" brings a new appreciation experience, and its uniqueness is twofold: first, the emergence of this bilingualism is due to the fact that the teammates are from different countries; Second, the emergence of this bilingualism also occasionally enables language exchange. The value of bilingual singing of "Riding the Wind 2023" has surpassed the song itself, not only allowing the listener to feel the beauty of China as a country of etiquette, but also the infinite charm of the beauty and coexistence of different countries and mutual learning between civilizations.
If the beauty of the integration of different national languages can give people the most intuitive shock, then "Riding the Wind 2023" also makes people feel that the beauty of the struggle of women in different countries is also very similar, they meet, get to know, help each other, cooperate on the stage, and contribute their wisdom to art. In the second performance, the five-member group of Mei Yi Liya sang "Take Me to the Nightlife", and they worked together to overcome difficulties and successfully perform; Qiu Cera-Xuan's four-person group sang "The Happiness of Suffering Together" to recall the past and look forward to the future with gratitude; When singing "Rosemary", Chifu's trio not only tried the ring challenge, but also invited the help of national instrumental music, and the three of them collectively interpreted the cute Vietnamese nursery rhyme "Three Ducks" in Vietnamese during the short 60-second canvassing session, which invisibly expanded the level of cultural exchange to more diverse fields; "From the Beginning" brought by the duo composed of Liu Yiyun and Xie Xin has repeatedly broken through the boundaries of stage performance with bold, innovative, extreme and enjoyable interpretations.
In this round of performances, some of them burst into tears in the rehearsal hall and lounge, such as Mei Yi Liya, but what impressed people was the final perfect presentation after they dared to face difficulties and break through themselves on stage; Some of them dedicated their first rap and dance to this stage, such as Gina Alice, who discovered her unlimited potential in the collaborative exchanges with other international sisters; Some of them are experienced professional singers, such as Liu Yiyun, but instead of living in isolation with a sense of superiority, she most empathetically delivers help.
In summary, "Riding the Wind 2023" is an international stage, where international sisters ride the wind and transmit women's power to every corner of the world, and the program fully demonstrates China's responsibility as a good neighbor and friendly major country and conveys the global values of a community with a shared future for mankind.
Mo Dao women are not heroes
The United States and the Communist Power Style

Presenting diverse female power,
Broaden the aesthetic pattern of "female beauty"
"Women's beauty" is epochal, different eras have different aesthetics, different eras, not only the form of beauty is different, the connotation of beauty is also different.
"Riding the Wind 2023" breaks people's stereotypes of women with confidence, hard work and beautiful demeanor through a number of wonderful competitions by sisters, and interprets what is the beauty of women's confidence, struggle and heart from different angles.
Female artists generally have appearance anxiety, and many artists' photos do not dare to be easily released without careful and meticulous retouching, but this time participating in "Riding the Wind 2023", the sisters' plain makeup in the audience came to a big public, even if their faces were haggard, they also appeared calmly. Gong Linna confessed that she had an inferior appearance when chatting with Mei Yi Liya, and when she was young, she did not dare to wear pink because she felt that she was not beautiful enough. On the stage of the first performance of "Sea of Flowers", her pink gauze dress was called "the most beautiful color" by the audience. Qu Ying, who is 52 years old and has no English foundation, after getting the English song "Problem", she repeatedly practiced pronunciation and dance moves again and again, completely to the point of forgetting food and sleep, this spirit of desperately wanting to change the status quo and make breakthroughs, showing the beauty of struggle full of strength.
The real "female beauty" has nothing to do with appearance, not afraid of age, self-confidence and self-improvement, and endless struggle... It is a temperament and tension that naturally arises from the depths of the heart after being tempered by the world. As long as you have a dream, forge ahead, even if you fall or fail, you can get up and continue, and strive to do better.
As seen in the past and the present, each has its own beauty,
Spread the charm of oriental culture
Culture is like water, moisturizing and silent. One detail in the first episode that is easy to overlook is that after the assembly, the 33 sisters sat at a huge round table and welcomed the first dinner of the season. It's just that this time the sisters are not eating takeaway, but eating the hometown dishes they prepared. In traditional Chinese culture, "yuan" has a unique auspicious meaning. The round table symbolizes reunion, symbolizes harmony and beautiful blessings, and welcomes guests from all over the world with a round table, bringing together the delicacies of the sisters' hometown, and also indicates the purpose of the show to pursue unity, inclusiveness and perfection.
"Riding the Wind 2023" shows the "beauty of women" through romantic artistic expression and stage performance, and outlines the "great beauty" of China's excellent traditional culture through the combination of national style and modern dance beauty. Whether it is stage design, instrumental music expression, props and costumes, national culture, all of them show the inclusiveness and diversity of each beauty, presenting the magnificent posture and splendid beauty of traditional culture and art.
On the first stage, Gong Linna turned "vulgar" into "Daya" with a very traditional national style song "Love Like Fire", showing the charm of Chinese rhythm; Cai Shaofen wore ancient costumes and sang the episode of "Roselle" in Zhen Mi's costume, smiling and smiling, showing the classical beauty; When Tang Bohu adapted the classic song "Three Alleys of Plum Blossoms", he boldly innovated and incorporated opera elements, which was refreshing and impressive...
The sisters integrate traditional culture into the stage performance, they are guided by a high degree of Chinese cultural self-confidence, through the image of women who strive bravely in different fields, to spread the charm of oriental culture, to show the colorful beauty of Chinese women, the open and inclusive beauty of Chinese culture, and the vast and rich beauty of the Chinese land, which not only amazes the audience, but also amazes the time.
Openness and integration, beauty and harmony,
Highlight the beauty of a big country
Today, not only are more and more Chinese women shining on the international stage, but more and more foreign women are shining on the Chinese stage.
"Riding the Wind 2023" invited 7 foreign women to join the competition team, which can be described as a stroke of God. Although Qiu Ciaoxuan, Liu Yiyun, Gina Alice, Mei Yili Bud, Katerina (Kaili), Tang Bohu, and Zhifu are foreign friends who have come from afar, they have taken root and developed in China for many years, and have been deeply integrated into the daily life of Chinese. The older sisters not only displayed traditional Chinese cultural and art forms such as guzheng, Peking Opera, and folk dances on stage, but also presented Vietnamese songs, Japanese music, and Korean dances full of regional customs.
"Sea of Flowers" sung by Gong Linna and Mei Yi Liya is a song with extraordinary significance. Jay Chou drew on the traditional Ryukyu folk song of the Ryukyu region when composing "Sea of Flowers", a Ryukyu-style song written by Taiwanese singers, in which Chinese mainland singers and Japanese artists collaborated to sing each other's languages, directly connecting the fusion and collision of different cultures. Just as the wind can cross time and space and go to every corner of the world, because the wind has no boundaries, it has a vast, all-encompassing mind. Similarly, art and beauty know no borders, and human beings' desire to realize their self-worth and struggle have no boundaries. Each sister is an excellent messenger of cultural transmission, allowing audiences from different countries to better understand each other's culture and enhance friendship and respect.
Ride the wind and waves for a long time, look at today, sail thousands of miles. In this era of great attention, the sisters who ride the wind are constantly condensing strong confidence and brilliance, making themselves more beautiful scenery; They are constantly exerting their wisdom and strength to spread the beauty of Chinese civilization and world harmony to all over the world.
Riding on the elegance of a thousand years
Wan Xinyi
The copywriter of the pilot film of "Riding the Wind 2033" once again surprises the audience without surprise - "If the wind has annual rings, the wind that blows on your and my faces may be reciting the story of 5,000 years." The copy begins with the wind, closely follows the theme of riding the wind, and ends with the theme of this season, "Great Beauty China, Riding the Wind". In this season, the show not only depicts the growth and transformation of women, but also takes "female beauty" as the facet, showing the world a "great beauty China" that has been riding thousands of years of elegance in the collision and interweaving of China's excellent traditional culture and the world's diverse cultures.
A thousand years of elegance, etiquette and music
It is not difficult to find that openness, integration and harmony are the cultural attitudes that "Riding the Wind 2023" wants to express. The Analects says, "The use of propriety is noble." The way of the king, the beauty of the world. "Li Ji Leji" has a cloud: "The musician is the same, and the etiquette is different." The same is the same, and the different is respectful. "In the history of the Chinese nation's civilization for thousands of years, civilizations rarely appreciate each other, but complement each other and prosper, and a hundred flowers bloom. Concentrated on one point, that is, harmony and difference, beauty and commonality. Chinese greets all parties with the "etiquette" of "harmony and symbiosis" and "harmony but difference", which is the dialectical wisdom of Chinese civilization for maintaining harmonious exchanges between people. "Ya" was first produced in the field of music by attaching to the normative "rite". "Rite" is the cause, and "Ya" is the effect. In this hot land, all the people of the world who love Chinese culture can shine on the Chinese stage.
American female singer Tang Bohu and American Chinese female singer Liu Yiyun, bringing fashion and vitality to the audience; Russian female singer Katerina (Kelly) shows the audience the artistry of romanticism; Japanese female singer Mei Yi Liya brings the femininity and mystery of oriental culture; Korean female singer Cho Cera-hyun exudes enthusiasm and tenacity; Vietnamese female singer Zhifu and German female singer Gina Alice also have their own independent cultural characteristics and charm, making this stage always full of surprises.
The interpretation of the music, the adaptation of the first performance is very cleverly integrated into the other five Chinese such as English, Russian, Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese. This approach not only enriches the expression of music, but also seamlessly blends the language and culture between different cultures.
Chinese wind, huayu song and dance
It can be seen that the inheritance of Chinese traditional culture is the cultural mission of "Riding the Wind 2023". Zi Yu: "Rejoice in "Poem", stand in ceremony, and become happy." "Song and dance has always been one of the important ways for people to express their emotions and inherit culture, which is both an art form and a way of cultural inheritance.
With the blessing of creative ingenuity, the program fully explores the resource treasures in China's excellent traditional culture with the help of the characteristics of cross-cultural communication of music, coupled with meticulous planning and ingenious production, creating a strong audio-visual experience and bringing rich cultural value.
In terms of music, "Riding the Wind 2023" shows China's ancient and unique cultural heritage through some traditional cultural elements, such as the performance of traditional musical instruments and the singing of traditional singing voices, making people feel the charm of the times and individuality of excellent traditional culture. For example, add drums in "Dragon Fist" and Nguyen in "Rosemary". The blessing of classical instruments brings a Chinese charm to the overall audio-visual of the stage, and the invited Chinese Opera and Dance Theater principal percussionist Wang Jianan and Beijing Chinese Orchestra Ruan Principal Li Yuhan performed at the beginning of the stage to make people dream back to a thousand years. The sound of this classical instrument seems to have a magical power, which can "illuminate" history, allowing people to travel through the past and present.
In terms of stage presentation, "Riding the Wind 2023" innovates the visual expression of the stage in an all-round way, creating a wrap-around live singing show, and showing the beauty of women with oriental aesthetics through a three-dimensional immersive dance space; At the same time, it also makes extensive use of modern scientific and technological means, combining traditional cultural elements with modern technology, allowing the audience to experience the charm of Chinese culture firsthand. The dance beauty of the first stage is quite aesthetic unity, and the most common picture is "water + moon". The moonlight is like silver, the clouds are misty, and the Yiren is in the middle of the water, bringing a poetic beauty. The lyrical nature of the song is dark blue, with a sense of parting hatred of "a bright moon shining on the world"; When the song is cheerful, it is replaced with a very warm big red, which has a change of layers and a sense of wholeness.
"Riding the Wind 2023" not only meets the audience's needs for music appreciation, cultural experience and perceptual enjoyment, but also shows the innovation and inclusiveness of Chinese music culture, brings more wonderful musical sounds to the world, and plays an active role in promoting cultural diversity and exchange, human civilization progress and world peace.
