Last year, it was really not easy for the cultural and sports industry. But as musicians, we have not stopped, and we are all thinking about how to use ways to better and renew the culture of the country.

"Moonlight shines on the hall

I've been listening to it for years..."

In Wang Xuan's personal album "Blooming Blooming", a song "Quiet Night Thoughts" made many people's eyes shine. Since 2010, Wang Xuan began to create musical works with the "spirit of integration", through the integration of Tang poetry and song poetry and jazz music, Wang Xuan created a number of works with Lingnan characteristics such as "Zhaojun Out of the Plug", "Ketu Autumn Hate", "Quiet Night Thinking", "Looking at the Moon Huaiyuan", and successively appeared on the stage at home and abroad, actively promoting the image of Guangzhou city, in order to promote Lingnan culture.

Wang Xuan said that as a Guangzhou native, the fusion of Cantonese and jazz is an innate creative driving force and a feeling.

Music is borderless and the best language to link the people of the planet. Wang Xuan said that every time he goes out to communicate, it is an opportunity to show Lingnan culture. "Once we participated in the meetingchina part of the saintcapejazzfestival closing concert in Nice, France, the stage was set up on the edge of a cliff in Monte Carlo, and the sea and sky stage landscape was impressive, and the singing of "Zhaojun Out of the Jam" once made many foreign female audiences on the scene hear and shed tears."

Wang Xuan shared that in order to let the locals better understand the meaning of the Cantonese lyrics, the background of the song will be introduced before the performance, with the translated lyrics attached. Sometimes, without any translation or commentary, the atmosphere brought by the music or mournfulness or tragedy can also make the people on the scene moved.

In January 2020, the World Economic Forum's 2020 annual meeting ushered in the Guangzhou moment, and the "Guangzhou Night" guided by the Guangzhou Municipal People's Government made its debut in winter Davos, and Wang Xuan also visited with the team. Before the official event, at the "Opening Ceremony of Guangzhou Overseas Flower Market" held at the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France, the jazz version of "Yingchun Flower" brought surprises to many foreign friends, and Wang Xuan sang Tang poems and Song poems in Cantonese + jazz to show guests from all over the world a different Guangzhou culture.

Affected by the epidemic, international exchange activities in 2020 have stopped here. Wang Xuan frankly said that this year's work is not easy, and foreign performances have pressed the pause button across the board, focusing more on teaching work and new creations.

★ Help Tianhe CBD out of new brilliance

In the future, more high-quality exhibitions can be introduced

In May, Wang Xuan joined the performance of Guangdong's first anti-epidemic literature theater work "To Courage" as a starring role, which was a new attempt after more than a decade of absence from musical theater performances, and the musician became a doctor on the stage, "Performing for retrogrades is also a very meaningful thing." ”

Fast forward to August, as a representative of the jazz industry, Wang Xuan fired the first shot of domestic jazz concerts, and successfully performed in Xinghai Concert Hall, becoming the first person in the jazz industry to resume work and production. During this period, Wang Xuan also participated in performances such as the Guangzhou Jazz Festival, and was once again active on the stage.

In November, Wang Xuan appeared in Haixinsha with her works, which was the first time she appeared on stage in Haixinsha after many years of absence, and when she talked about this, Wang Xuan's tone was full of emotion. While chatting, he took out his mobile phone to read the circle of friends records, "October 23, 2015, it was the first commercial performance of Haixinsha after the Asian Games, and I remember that the stage equipment was rebuilt at that time. ”

Five years have passed, during this period, Haixinsha and Huacheng Square have undergone tremendous changes, as the opening guest of the first Guangzhou International Outdoor Arts Festival, Wang Xuan has also witnessed the changes in Tianhe in the field of culture and art. "In the past, when Tianhe was mentioned, everyone knew that it was heavy business and light literature, but now, here is its own theater, there are net red cultural and creative parks, the grand theater continues to introduce performances that brush up the circle of friends, and more and more literary and artistic performances enter Haixinsha..." Wang Xuan said that here, there is no shortage of people who know how to appreciate art, for example, in 2018, Wang Xuan and his friends launched the "Renaissance Immersive Multimedia Art Exhibition", which was once the longest-running art exhibition in Tianhe District, attracting more than one million people to visit.

Tianhe is working hard to create a "four new brilliant" demonstration area as the goal, in Wang Xuan's view, the future in the field of culture and art can continue to strengthen, such as the introduction of more foreign brand exhibition activities, to bring more cultural feasts to the people of Yangcheng City; can also hold more "elite sports activities", such as urban adventure, urban cycling and other activities, so that people who work and live here, have the opportunity to re-understand Tianhe through different ways.
