Only by being good can we achieve perfection. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Gansu literary and art workers have been self-confident, self-reliant, upright and innovative, rooted in fertile soil, and constantly nourished the people with outstanding works with profound thinking, fresh and simple, strong and powerful, carried forward the main melody, and spread positive energy. Through the promotion of outstanding literary and artistic works, the exhibition and performance have enriched the cultural life of the vast number of cadres and masses, and further condensed the spiritual strength of forging ahead with courage and determination on the land of Longyuan.
"Strive to present to the audience an online art festival with beautiful sound and light in place and diversified program content, so that the audience can enjoy a high-quality cultural feast without leaving home." Zhou Wenshuai, director of the performance operation department of Gansu Performing Arts Group and deputy director of the propaganda department of the party committee, said.
The edification and exchange of culture and art
"The large-scale Peking Opera "Silk Road Flower Rain" has a new interpretation from music, sound, dance, lighting and costumes, which is different from the singing and playing of ordinary Peking opera, but incorporates dance and musical elements from Dunhuang murals." "Give new expressions to the subject matter in the form of Peking Opera, so that Peking Opera and dance can be combined, tradition and classics will be combined, and the national art will be revitalized." There was a lively discussion in the comment area of the Peking Opera "Silk Road Flower Rain".
"Tribute to Gansu literary and art workers." "I hope that theater fans from other places must go all the way west to the great northwest in the future to enjoy the various cultural feasts prepared for you by the Gansu Performing Arts Group." The audience interacted warmly, expressed their respects and issued invitations.
Spring and autumn, moisturizing things are silent. Longyuan literary and artistic products "cloud" bloomed, and audiences from inside and outside the province gathered online to watch this cultural event together. The exhibition and performance activities are held in a new way, which makes up for the audience's differentiated needs for art programs in time and space, and uses the cross-regional interactive experience of the Internet to enhance the interest of viewing while receiving cultural and artistic edification.
"The works of the exhibition reflect the profound and long historical and cultural heritage of Longyuan and the passionate and vibrant picture of the times." Shi Xiaojun, executive vice chairman of the Gansu Dramatists Association, said, "These works affectionately sing the praises of the splendid and magnificent history and culture of Longyuan from multiple perspectives and the fighting spirit of hard work, bravery, self-reliance, and courage to fight continuously formed over thousands of years, reflecting the struggle of the sons and daughters of Longyuan to build a happy and beautiful new Gansu and create a new situation of enriching the people and prospering Longyuan under the leadership of the party." ”
Many viewers were also delighted to be able to see so many fine works of art. Yang Zihuan, an audience, said after watching the original symphony "Eternal Oasis - Hexi Corridor": "When the music begins, it is as if you are under the Qilian Mountains, feeling the blue sky, grasslands, glaciers, and sheep. As the music progresses, it seems to meet the scenes of war and fire, and you can really feel those turbulent years that have passed. The music is sometimes soothing, sometimes exciting, our emotions are sometimes calm, sometimes hot, and feeling the footprints left by the Hexi corridor in the historical changes in the music can be said to be a different kind of emotional experience. ”
Gansu culture has attracted attention because of its distinctive regional characteristics. "Through this online performance, you can not only enjoy many unique performances, but also provide opportunities for many domestic counterparts to learn and communicate with each other." Yunnan Provincial Drama Theater Tan Shu believes that this exhibition highlights the cultural characteristics of Gansu, reflects the local customs and people, and promotes everyone to appreciate each other, learn from each other and communicate with each other.
It can be said that this exhibition and performance has expanded the cultural "circle of friends" in Gansu, immersive drama watching and online commentary interaction, and can also promote literary and art workers to draw creative wisdom and inspiration in cultural exchanges.
An art festival that tells the story of Gansu
"The performances are all original plays, well-made, well-spread, and loud." Yu Haibin, vice president of the Gansu Performing Arts Group Drama Theater, said, "We have received a lot of good opinions and suggestions in the comment area, which has helped us to create more excellent drama art works, and also inspired us to tell Gansu stories and Chinese stories well through the art form of drama." ”
The exhibition and broadcasting activities condensed the hard work, dedication and dedication of literary and artistic workers, and they also had endless confidants.
"The online performance format allows us to see the performance status of ourselves and our colleagues when it is broadcast, which gives us a more intuitive understanding of our shortcomings and helps us adjust and improve." Zhou Hong, a dancer from the Song and Dance Theater of Gansu Performing Arts Group, undertook the performance task at the opening ceremony of this exhibition, played the role in "Meet for a Thousand Years", and performed dances with Gansu characteristics such as "Rebounding Pipa Long Silk Dance". She hopes to play more roles with distinctive personalities in the future, better promote Gansu, carry forward traditional culture, and let more audiences understand Gansu and understand Lanzhou, the city of great rivers.
As the conductor of the Gansu Provincial Song and Dance Theater, Zhang Zhao has participated in the Yellow River Coast Arts Festival three times in a row. In this exhibition, he undertook the direction of the national symphony "Flower Good Full Moon" broadcast on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. In addition to conforming to the time node of the Mid-Autumn Festival, "Flower Good Full Moon" also has some innovations in content. "In addition to folk music such as "Spring River Flowers and Moon Night", "Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon", "Spring Bloom and Autumn Truth", and "Golden Snake Dance", many popular music such as "Desert Camel", "You Look Good Laughing", "Fiery Sari Lang", and "The Rest of Your Life" were also rearranged and skewered and performed." Through this attempt, he hopes to create more works that the public likes to see with a fuller mental state.
"This exhibition and performance activities epitomize the high consciousness of literary and art workers in our province to practice their original mission and responsibility, vividly reflect the brilliant achievements made by our province in the past ten years with excellent works of art, there are retrospectives, there are prospects, a wide range of themes, diverse forms, clear themes, vivid plots, vivid characters, and affectionately praise the heroic feelings of the sons and daughters of Longyuan on the road to realizing their dreams under the leadership of the party." Shi Xiaojun commented.
It is reported that focusing on the goal of creating a new business card of the city "the Yellow River is also beautiful", the Yellow River Coast Art Festival will strive to become a cultural event with a "national, professional and sustainable" activity brand through careful planning and design, improving quality connotation, innovating and improving mechanisms, and continuously improving methods and methods.
