The pulsating notes awaken the long-lost memories of the times, and the moving melody tells a heart-warming red story. Recently, the third season of the large-scale original era memory music and culture program "Flowing Songs" returned to the screen, rejuvenating its new vitality in the classic inheritance and innovative singing.
Sing the echoing song of the times
Every era has the song of each era, but the classic songs will not be erased by the development and changes of the times. The latest episode of the third season of the program takes "the year of light and shadow flow" as the theme, not only invites Zhong Zhentao, Zhang Weijian, Jin Ming, and Wang Xiaomin to sing the film and television golden song "Proud Laugh" on the same stage, but also vividly restores the stage effect of that year, as well as the shooting scene, evoking the audience's strong memories. Then, Zhong Zhentao and Zhang Weijian sang "Under the Lion Mountain" on the same stage to pay tribute to the spirit of the times, while Jin Ming's partner Wang Xiaomin sang "Love Is Deep and Rainy", reliving the Qiongyao-style love story in the song, leading the audience to start the summer drama chasing time of those years.
Classic songs are mirrors of an era. From "My Original Heart" to "Music Rhyme National Tide", from "Sentient Years" to "Years of Light and Shadow Flow", it is not difficult to find from these themes that the third season of "Flowing Song" uses classic songs as the medium, through recalling the past, rendering and outlining the audience's era memory, and then reflecting the story of the times with the theme. This year coincides with the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, the program in the process of subdividing different themes, digging deep into the music story in the process of introducing rich and diverse red elements, with the red melody represented by "Without the Communist Party, There Is No New China", "Singing Mountain Songs to the Party", "The Motherland Will Not Forget", "Singing the Motherland", "I Love You China" led the audience to draw spiritual strength in the time and space spanning a hundred years, and helped the red gene to be passed on from generation to generation.
Reinvent contemporary memories for golden melodies
The classic never ends, and the song continues to flow. The third season of "Flowing Song" will innovate and implement to the end in terms of theme, mode, content, link, lineup, stage, etc., comprehensively upgrade the theme content, guest lineup, program mode, interactive gameplay and stage presentation, and give the stage the functions of "party, appreciation, sharing, and time meeting" to create a comprehensive audio-visual feast. There are music lovers from all walks of life and different generations who have formed music stories for the first time and sang the classic voices together; there are also "listening and enjoying groups" joined by guests such as Wu Zhoutong, Huang Guolun and Wei Xueman, who guide the singers to tell the emotional stories and memories of the times behind the songs with profound musical heritage and tacit communication and cooperation, bringing the audience the most empathetic emotional resonance.
Not only that, the third season of "Flowing Song" inherits the program form of the first two seasons of "singing together" between the new and old generations and the improvisation mode of "singing while talking" of "song in the story, things in the song", and re-endows contemporary memory for the golden song through the integration of "music + story + culture". At the same time, in addition to content exploration, the program also leverages new media in an all-round way, cross-screen linkage, deep empowerment of classic voice dissemination, and explores popular passwords in the two-way interaction mode with the audience, so that the classic voice flows endlessly.
Let the classics flow endlessly in the inheritance
Turning over the history of the development of Chinese music, what flows is the song and the memory is carried. The reason why the classic is called a classic is not simply to indulge in the past, but to carry the power in memory, carrying the mottled from the individual ups and downs to the changes of the times, pinning on the broadness of the small family feelings to the big country's mind, and resonating with the times. The three seasons of "Flowing Song" complete the narrative in excavating the story of the times behind the song and the eternal themes of human beings such as family, friendship and love, and strive to make classic songs and traditional culture "flow" into the hearts of each audience, and then capture the point of convergence between individual memory, collective memory and era memory, and reproduce individual struggles, changes in home and country and changes in the times, triggering deep emotional resonance.
Rooted in the needs of the public, the pursuit of musical authenticity, through the small to see the big, looking at the way of the present, relive the changes of the times, find the story of the times, inherit in innovation, and let the classics "flow" in the inheritance. "Flowing Songs" provides a new sample for the creation of current music programs. (He Tianping)
