Last year, Henan Satellite TV's "China Festivals" series of programs successfully went out of the circle and became the TV program that every traditional festival audience is looking forward to. The Lantern Festival is approaching, and the 2022 "Lantern Magic Tour" of Henan Radio and Television Station is coming as scheduled. On the basis of last year's fantastic tour series "web drama + net roundup", this year's "Lantern Fantastic Tour" connects the whole scene with creative concept films, through 3 chapters, so that the audience can feel the hope of "Yuan", the romance of "Xia" meeting, and the "lamp" reflecting the feelings of home and country in Vientiane. Visual expression continues the aesthetic style of the national trend, while incorporating the current multicultural elements.
The 2022 "Lantern Magic Tour" is produced by Henan Radio and Television Station and co-produced by Youku, and premiered on Youku and Elephant News Client at 18:30 on February 14, and broadcast on Henan Satellite TV at 19:30.
Three theme chapters, step into the light of the world
Lantern Festival, everywhere lights up, pray for blessings and celebrations. As one of the most important traditional festivals in China, a "noisy" word shows the unique jubilation and enthusiasm of the Lantern Festival. "The previous Series of Chinese Festivals was more about showing the folk customs or customs of relevant festivals in traditional Chinese culture, and this year I hope to further deepen the cultural connotation of Chinese festivals, as well as the emotional connotation and spiritual connotation carried by the festival." General director Lu Hongli introduced.
When planning and creating, the main creative team decided to take the three words of "yuan", "night" and "lamp" as the theme words, and through three chapters, led the audience into a new lighting world in Vientiane.
This year, the first chapter of the "Lantern Magic Tour" is "Yuan Zhi Always". What is "meta"? The main creator explained that "Yuan" is the beginning of a year, the cycle of spring, summer, autumn and winter, the four seasons are reincarnated to the origin, and the "Yuan" is a new birth, a hope, and a starting point.
In this chapter, there are both direct expressions of folkloric symbols and more implicit expressions of emotions. Among them, the visual show "Watching the Mountains and Rivers Lion Dance oriental" adopts the lion dance, which is well known to the public, to paint a picture of the homeland of mountains and rivers, and dance a song to look north and south. The Henan food show "Five Flavors Harmony" shows the Henan food culture of "five flavors harmonized and moderate quality", and the rich fireworks set off a strong festive atmosphere. The dance "Five Stars Out of the East" is inspired by the Cultural Relics "Five Stars Out of the East and China" Han Dynasty tapestry, which integrates the special effects design of astronomical wonders and interprets the "Yuan" theme in a broader emotional dimension.
The second chapter is "Meeting at Nighttime". What is "supper"? "'Supper' is the night, on the fifteenth day of the first month, the first full moon night of the year, the night of the night, the time of the night, met love, met the family, this is the romantic background of the Lantern Festival." Introduction of the main creative team.
The Lantern Festival is known as the Valentine's Day of ancient China, in this chapter, the scene dance "The Covenant of the New Year's Eve" and the dance "Once Upon a Time" have appeared successively, conveying the warm and beautiful emotional flow of the world through different forms of display.
The last chapter is "The Lights Shine In Everywhere". Lamp means the light of civilization, the light of protection, the light of truth, and the light of science and technology. In this chapter, you can see the scene of Confucius traveling around the world to spread ideas, the lights of Qi Jiguang resisting the Wukou and insisting on the border pass, the oil lamp that accompanies Li Dazhao when he pursues the truth, and the light when a heroic figure like Deng Jiaxian works in the case, etc., a light of the times is connected in series. In addition, the song "Rainbow of Wind and Rain, Sonorous Roses" celebrates the victory of the Chinese women's football team in the Asian Cup, and also reflects the strength of Chinese women in this era of high spirits and progress.
Traditional culture combined with scientific and technological innovation, continuing the feast of the national tide
In terms of overall visual style and art presentation, the 2022 "Lantern Wonderful Tour" will continue the style of combining traditional culture and innovative technology, and bring the audience a visual feast of oriental aesthetics.
The dance "Dream Lotus" adopts the classic image of "Lotus", which is a classic image in Chinese culture, to feel the rhythm and beauty of life from the first perspective of Lotus. "This show is a solo dance created with the theme of lotus blossoming, which is very yang liping's style, such as the shaping of the body shape and the expression of dance vocabulary, and at the same time presents the quality of lotus purity in the packaging of the stage and the use of dance skills." Lu Hongli revealed. In the program, when the dancers take off and jump in the air, the ripples where they fall are undulating, and the graceful dance posture interprets the purity and vulgarity of the lotus, and at the same time, through the minimalist aesthetics of the Song Dynasty, it shows a pure and timeless dream and creates a fascinating state of mind.
In addition, in addition to elements such as song and dance, opera, and food, the "Lantern Magic Tour" is also cleverly integrated into the current popular culture, such as the second dimension loved by The Z generation. The song "Back to the Horse Gun" tells the story of an adventure of five post-00 girls in their college dormitories. With the beat of the music, they escaped into the two-dimensional space, fell into the four scenes of "Wind Forest Volcano", transformed into a two-dimensional virtual shape, held a silver gun and fought with a monster representing evil, highlighting the heroic spirit of ordinary people standing up.
"After the fifteenth day of the first month, people always consciously pack up their moods, regroup, and continue to run, and all nostalgia and emotion about the past will be sealed into the first full moon night of the new year." In the view of the main creative team, the "wonderful" night, through history, but also imagined the present, from ancient times to the present, although the customs of the festival have evolved, but the emotional core carried has not changed, leaving the present people with philosophy and enlightenment.
