A strong youth is a strong country. A thousand years ago, the poet Wang Wei's poem "Young People's Journey" vividly depicted the romance and pride of young heroes in the Prosperous Tang Dynasty. A thousand years later, a poem inspired by poetry, "Juvenile Chronicles", with a swinging tune, and a city MV that stimulates the audience's visual ignition, has recently become popular on the Internet.
In the melody of "Juvenile Chronicle", the glittering brilliance of the electric music elements echoes with the desolate majesty of the Qin and Han war drums, and through the multi-level changes of rhythm and melody, the thick heritage of the Three Qins Land and the atmosphere of the times gush out, the cycle is repeated, and the song still has a sense of inexhaustibility; the MV presents the multicultural culture of Guanzhong Land and the urban innovation represented by the Xianyang High-tech Zone, so that the audience can deeply feel the vibrant youthful spirit from hearing to vision.
At the beginning of "Chronicles of the Youth", the young people of the Three Qins dressed in ancient costumes beat the Qin and Han war drums, the sound of the heavenly sound that has been inherited for a thousand years resounded on the pavilion, the sense of heroism of the war drums was invincible, and the humorous guqin reflected each other, and the young singer sang "Eight hundred miles of Qin Chuan, the story is full of ups and downs; the hinterland roars Qin cavity, and the pride of the ancients is flowing"... The continuous aerial shots in the MV aim at the precious cultural heritage such as the Imperial Tomb and Qingwei Tower in the hinterland of Guanzhong, showing the broad momentum of the thousand-year-old imperial capital Xianyang; in the transition of creative animation, the camera turned and came to the Xianyang High-tech Zone, in this dynamic new city with electronic display industry, new energy automobile industry and biomedical industry as the three leading industrial forms, young workers are busy on the modern production line, and engineers are breaking through technical difficulties... Viewers also saw the dynamic engine behind the city.
Guan Chinese, craftsman spirit, fashion life... The positive economic and living pictures of the city echo with the beat of rap, and the audience's vision and emotions are also mobilized and pulled, and these rich elements are perfectly integrated in audiovisual, so that the heroic spirit exuded in Wang Wei's "Youth Line" verses glows with new brilliance and vitality in the new era.
Zhang Bo, MV planner of "Juvenile Chronicles", told reporters that the MV of "Juvenile Chronicles" was guided by the Propaganda Department of the Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee of the Communist Youth League and the Propaganda Department of the Xianyang Municipal Party Committee, and produced by the Management Committee of Xianyang High-tech Zone, and was jointly created by a young creative team. Xianyang as a city with strong historical, cultural and economic vitality, like a teenager who has traveled in Guanzhong for a thousand years, once belonged to the youth era in Chinese history, and now Xianyang has constantly presented its own Xianyang youth spirit with urban appearance and economic development, so we took inspiration from Wang Wei's poem "Youth Line" as the main line of this work.
Music producer Qin Yang has created works for Many domestic first-line artists such as Hu Xia and Huang Liling. As an authentic Shaanxi native, it only took him two days to write the notes of this melody, which shows his high resonance with the city of Xianyang. Although the object described with musical notes is an ancient capital, Qin Yang's bold use of electric tones and rap elements, mixed with ancient Qin and Han war drums, guqin, and Qin cavity, constitute the main aural elements of "Juvenile Chronicles". Qin Yang said that the sound emitted by the Qin and Han war drums can not only represent Xianyang, but also represent the voice and temperament of the Chinese, so they borrowed the war drums to shoot and record through Huang Jianmin, the 46th generation inheritor of the Qin and Han war drums, so that the Qin and Han war drums can send out the most powerful Qin sound Qin rhyme under the Qingwei Building, between the Guanzhong MaiLang under the Zhongnan Mountain, and the Xianyang Olympic Sports Center, the sub-venue of the National Games.
This work can trigger a strong effect in the middle of the post-95s and post-00s, which is inseparable from the sense of youth presented in the whole work. In addition to the rich interweaving of musical elements, the combination of animation language and lens, dynamic pop and other modern visual elements add a sense of crossing and futurism to this work. Zhang Bo said that the MV finally used animation to create an "Easter egg", through creative animation, restored the scene of the mechanical arm playing music, and the industrial technology innovation and culture and art were combined in conflict, creating a sense of dialogue between reality and the future.
Director Gao Qiang said that two years ago, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League promoted a work "Our Times", which used rap combined with illustration to praise the motherland, which gave us great inspiration. In order to shoot this "Juvenile Chronicles" MV, the film crew continued to select and shoot scenes in Guanzhong Land, visited many artists and non-hereditary inheritors around Xianyang for the Qin and Han War Drums, invited the actors of the local Qin Cavity Theater Troupe in Xianyang to complete the performance of the Qin Cavity part, and invited ordinary citizens from all walks of life to appear on camera to play themselves, and the picture was no longer a metaphysical pose, but a return to the most authentic fireworks.
