"Cross-border" represents the integration of the current cutting-edge attitude to life and aesthetic methods, and this year's Famous Artists Weekend Stage is innovating on the basis of inheriting and carrying forward China's excellent traditional culture and art last year, and boldly trying the cross-border integration of art categories. On the evening of May 14th, the "Cantonese Canton Tower - Famous Artists Weekend Stage" launched the "Cross-Border Crossing Of Cantonese And Boundless - Art Cross-border Special", where Cantonese opera and street dance, electronic music, pop music, modern dance, puppet performance and other artistic disciplines blended across borders, colliding with new artistic sparks.
This special session invited Ah Ya Street Dance Company THE D.O.G.S to join and perform with Li Jiayi on "Pop Cantonese Opera 'Dream Back to the Old Garden'" and "Street Dance & Xinle Fu • Electronic Cantonese Opera 'Emperor Girl Flower'" of 'Xiang Yao'". THE D.O.G.S is a Popping team founded in 2005 by China's first hip-hop world champion, Ah Ya, who won the JD China Championship and represented China in Japan. The two join forces to "empower" Cantonese opera and street dance.
The main artists in this issue are Hua Dan, a famous Cantonese opera youth of Guangzhou Cantonese Opera, and Li Jiayi, a young cultural talent in Yangcheng. Li Jiayi is the deputy head of the Guangzhou Hongdou Cantonese Opera Troupe, who has been taught by the famous Cantonese opera performance artists and Chinese drama plum blossom winners Ding Fan and Jiang Wenduan, and has been carefully taught by ou Kaiming, a famous Cantonese opera performance artist and winner of the Chinese Drama Plum Blossom Award "Second Degree Plum". As one of the most popular Cantonese opera young people in the audience, Li Jiayi is talented, diligent and tenacious, and her appearance is beautiful and feminine, and her singing voice is sweet and gentle, she has starred in more than a dozen Cantonese opera works such as "Dong Sheng and Li Shi", "Chu Xin", "Lingnan Renjia", "Lü Bu and the Mink Cicada", and successfully held "Ten Years of Fantasia - Li Jiayi Cantonese Opera Art Special" and "Youth Cantonese Film - Li Jiayi Cantonese Opera Art Special".
"Dream Back to the Old Garden" is sung by Li Jiayi and young Cantonese opera actor Pan Jingzhao. "This hate is endless and endless" The song uses a low Cantonese opera south tone to sing Bai Juyi's famous "Long Hate Song" as a prelude, and then Pan Jingzhao sings a Chinese-style pop song with popular singing, which then leads to Li Jiayi singing in the throat of Qingyue poignant Cantonese opera. The final chorus part of Li Jiayi's sub-throat singing overlaps with Pan Jingzhao's male vocal popular singing, perfectly blending the beauty of traditional opera rhythms with modern pop music. The song skillfully blends the southern tones, sub-throats and Chinese style pop music of traditional Cantonese opera in Guangdong, with the arrangement of Cantonese style pop music, which combines the brightness of pop music and the gentle and melodious style of traditional opera. The song has achieved good results on major music websites such as Kugou and 5nd Music, the Guangdong-Guangdong Pop Music Chart, and the homepage of 5sing China Original Music Base, and has maintained a high popularity for a long time. The lyrics of "Dream Back to the Old Garden" tell the moving story of a man who passes by the theater and hears the singing, and recalls the beautiful scenery of the old days spent with his beloved. THE D.O.G.S created a "hip-hop sitcom" based on the lyrics and incorporated it into the singing of the song, greatly increasing the "watchability" and "perceptuality" of the song.
