In 2005, this night to remember
When the fireworks bloomed in the sky and the capital was shrouded in a sea of joy, joyful crowds also emerged in front of the televisions of thousands of households.
They are waiting and looking forward to this meaningful night - the official opening of the 2005 "Hundred Flowers Welcome Spring" Literary and Art Spring Festival Gala.
It was a night to remember, as this year marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of Chinese cinema. The whole country is looking back on the development process and arduous trajectory of the art of film over the past century.
On this 100th birthday night of the film, the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles will present a special literary and artistic event - gathering hundreds of flowers to pay tribute to the film classics.
Countless filmmakers gather on this stage, what kind of wonderful audio-visual feast will they present to the audience? At this moment, people's nervous and expectant mood is overflowing.
With the burst of lights and the opening remarks of the host, the party officially kicked off.
On this night, filmmakers came across time and space, just to look back on that glorious time. They will take the audience to relive those classic images, those unforgettable moments. Reminiscing about the past and passing on the future, this is a night to remember.
When the song ended, the applause was thunderous, and the night had just begun......
Relive the classics, a colorful audio-visual feast
The first light hit the center of the stage, and the audience burst into applause and cheers. I saw Wang Xiaotang and Huang Suying dancing, the brisk melody sounded, and the two screen legends reproduced the classic picture of the old movie "Fisherman's Song".
Although the two old artists on the stage are in their prime, they are full of energy, light in dancing, and do not show any aging. And the audience was also excited, and the warm applause continued to convey respect to the "screen couple".
The familiar tune evoked memories for a while, bringing them back to the old cinema with the smell of ghee, reliving those old but timeless classics.
Immediately afterwards, another chasing light hit the left side of the stage, and Wang Fuli and Zhang Guomin appeared. They recreated the classic supporting characters in "Cotai Boulevard" 30 years ago, which were loved by the audience, and awakened the memories of many people with familiar melodies.
The soulful singing voice was like a warm hug, touching everyone in the audience. For a while, applause and cheers came one after another, paying tribute to this "screen couple".
The reenactment of the classics continues.
Moving scenes followed one after another, setting off waves of climaxes at the party scene. The love for these immortal classics on and off the stage turned into an ocean of applause, which echoed for a long time.
Those familiar melodies and images touch everyone's heart and make memories bloom at this moment.
The old face shines brightly
Under the stage beam, these old artists seem to have returned to their youthful years.
Many of them are in their prime. However, at this moment, no one could tell that they were gray-haired. Those youthful memories that once shone on the screen and stage seem to reappear in this moment.
Perhaps, it is the persistent pursuit of art that makes them shine dazzlingly on the stage. The spiritual core accumulated over the years has become the source of their shining light when they stand in the center of the stage.
The power of classics transcends time, and the rich life experience also makes their art more sophisticated.
The moment they shine on the stage, they become stars that never fade. Those once touching star charms are once again reappearing in the spotlight.
The return of this classic scene has become the most beautiful scenery of this night.
The audience was also moved, and they were glad at what beautiful meaning time has given to these old artists. The once shining faces of those old movie stars have precipitated a beautiful texture under the baptism of the years, like a mellow wine, the longer it lasts, the more mellow it is.
Greatness in the ordinary, moving stories
The night's extravaganza is not just about the stars. What's more, the stories left behind by ordinary and great artists.
In the last year of her life, 82-year-old teacher Chang Xiangyu still had a love for art and performed for laid-off migrant workers. Her spirit of selfless dedication is awe-inspiring.
She spent her life explaining what it means to be loyal to art, and this greatness is difficult to describe in words.
Du Jinfang adhered to the true character of traditional art all his life and never overstepped the distance on the stage. It is this dedication that has made her outstanding artistic achievements. That passion for art transcends the erosion of time.
And old artists such as Niu Ben and Ge Cunzhuang used their simple and unpretentious lives to record the difficult journey of filmmakers in a difficult era. Countless filmmakers have created under humble conditions, and their achievements with sweat and tears are also moving.
True stories and ordinary workers constitute the soul of this event. They use the ordinary and great spirit to depict the development of the art of film over the past century.
In the flowers and applause, the spirit of national culture shines here.
They used their lives to write a legendary chapter in the development of Chinese films. And in doing so, it enters people's hearts, which touches people more than any language.
A grand event that will last forever in my heart
At the end of the song, the applause and cheers echoed for a long time. It will be an event of a lifetime for everyone.
Director Xie Jin gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, he knew that the spirit of the film would be passed on from generation to generation; Wang Xiaotang was excited with a bouquet of flowers, and she saw those familiar faces in the audience; Song Zuying is beautiful and moving, she understands what kind of gorgeous stroke she will leave in everyone's hearts...... Everyone couldn't stop being moved in their hearts at this moment.
Time freezes in this moment, and this beautiful picture will become a collective memory. Decades later, people can still feel the warmth and emotion when they look back on this night.
This is not only a remembrance of the classics, but also a spiritual sublimation. Everyone used their own historical experience to jointly write a chapter in the art of film. The experience is unique and makes the night unforgettable.
In this beautiful encounter, the century-old vicissitudes and heroic spirit of Chinese films are condensed here. This is a rare cultural event, which reflects the cultural heritage of a nation.
Many years later, the story will continue to circulate, and this night will become a memory of that era. How will people remember this wonderful night, as rich and gorgeous as the brushstrokes of ink, and as dazzling as the starry sky.
I know that it will definitely leave a unique mark in everyone's hearts and become the collective memory of a generation.
Affectionate ending, blessings for the Spring Festival
On the stage, this unique theatrical evening also entered the curtain call.
Song after song, the performers reluctantly bid farewell to the audience, knowing full well that this unforgettable night is coming to an end and becoming history.
In the last scene, when Li Guyi's moving singing voice sounded, all the artists walked onto the stage and bowed deeply to the audience. At this moment, applause and cheers echoed highly, and the highest respect was paid to them.
This grand event across time and space brings together the bits and pieces of Chinese films for a century. The old artists use their own stories to pass on the spirit of this generation of filmmakers to future generations.
And the audience also condensed their love for Chinese films through this beautiful shared experience.
This is not only a remembrance of the classics, but also a sublimation of cultural self-confidence. The continuation of the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation is reflected in the mirror of the times.
And this event, in the context of the new era, also provides historical guidance and spiritual guidance for the development of Chinese films.
When the fireworks go off and everyone leaves, everyone is immersed in the emotional experience of this warm and wonderful night. This beautiful encounter will become the collective memory of a generation.
On the occasion of this festive season, let us commemorate the deceased film predecessors, bless the filmmakers who are creating, and look forward to a more brilliant future for Chinese films!
