He looked at Li Jinglin carefully.

Zhao Mingya had a strange feeling.

Going out to work hard can indeed be of great help to a man's growth.

And Li Jinglin's talent really made him grow very fast.

To know.

Li Jinglin when he is about to go abroad

There is not such a big pattern yet.

At that time, Li Jinglin only had one thing on his mind.

[I want to become a particularly awesome violinist]

And after returning home.

Look at now.

Li Jinglin's thoughts, vision, and structure are growing rapidly at a speed that is unimaginable to normal people.

I am dissatisfied with being limited to a small corner and constantly want to explore the larger world.

Get out of your comfort zone.

To work hard for the bigger picture.

Zhao Mingya's mood was a little subtle.

It feels a bit like "my son has grown up" or "my little brother has grown up".

Nod.

Zhao Mingya did not continue to persuade.

It's hard to say whether the so-called "senior experience" will be a shackles for some younger generations.

Music has different functions.

The soundtrack is meant to serve the backbone of the work itself.

Pop music is meant to be enjoyed by ordinary people in their spare time.

Avant-garde music is about exploring the boundaries of music.

And serious music in this kind of international exchange

The function is to "use the Chinese musical language to tell the story of China."

Li Jinglin, who was born in Western music, seems to be a little far away from the other line, which seems to be a bit difficult.

But actually this is an advantage.

Just like those who learn foreign languages, they may encounter difficulties when facing things in the Chinese department. But once they overcome the difficulties, in the process of foreign translation, if they master the foreign language and the logic of foreign language literature, they will have more advantages.

Learn more about Western music and understand Westerners’ interpretation and aesthetic appreciation of music.

Only then can it be better expressed and disseminated in the Chinese musical language.

Li Jinglin.

It seems to want to combine the characteristics of both parties.

Express China's own music in a more international way.

"What about your old theater troupe? I heard that the Opera and Dance Theater has reached a cooperation with Henan Satellite TV."

Zhao Mingya changed the topic.

"Well, it's not just the Opera and Dance Theatre, I've also reached an agreement to cooperate with them."

Li Jinglin nodded.

"However, there is currently no confirmed project, and the differences there are quite big. It seems that they want to make a risky leap and attempt, but again, the ability to resist risks is a bit weak, and no decision has been made yet. "

"Hey, everything is changing nowadays."

Zhao Mingya sighed.

It feels like it's gradually falling behind the times.

Things are changing with each passing day.

They are all a bit humble.

2018.

It seems that we have reached a critical juncture.

As the economy, military, and technology gradually became stronger, culture and entertainment began to advance on a large scale.

Moreover, due to the advancement of 4G and 5G, the impact of information will be even more explosive.

so.

Reflected in various attempts in entertainment, various types of cultural creations, and more diverse channels.

It's more and more.

It’s also getting more and more flowery.

Zhao Mingya couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

"That's why I say that old artists can't be left alone."

Li Jinglin shrugged.

"Although there are always new cakes, the market is only so big. If we don't hurry up and seize it early and achieve some results, it will only make more new tracks gradually become traffic tools."

I heard this.

Zhao Mingya couldn't help but nodded slightly.

"Then we old guys should learn more from young people like you."

"Haha, no way, sister, you are still young."

After dinner, have some free time.

Li Jinglin also began to compile information about the "Silk Road" and prepare works.

It’s not like biting off more than one can chew, or not composing music for friends and focusing on my own stuff.

If you really want to come up with an amazing work.

The brewing stage will last for a long time.

and

Whether you want novelty, function, or quality, the most important thing is to sound good.

At least it should sound amazing.

Although it seems that those who study music are uneducated, this is not the case.

If you want to meet the above requirements and still be consistent with the Silk Road culture, the breadth of knowledge you need to understand is extremely high, and the threshold for creation is even higher.

Silk Road thing.

It's somewhat outrageous.

Whether it is the land Silk Road or the maritime Silk Road.

They all existed as early as the Qin and Han Dynasties.

After the development from the Three Kingdoms to the Sui Dynasty, it flourished in the Tang, Song and Ming Dynasties.

Until today.

China, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan have jointly declared the eastern section of the Maritime Silk Road.

From Chang'an to the Tianshan Corridor.

【World Heritage】

It is the first cross-border cooperation project to be successfully applied for World Heritage.

Moreover, today’s Silk Road economy is a big move that only takes seconds.

——

It can completely promote the internal circulation of all aspects of Eurasia and directly kick Yingjiang out of the group chat.

Maintenance of these things.

In addition to its own strength and foundation, it must also need the cooperation of other countries.

cooperate.

Except for strength.

It must be based on the integration of cultures.

Even if they belong to the same Chinese civilization, have the same ideas, and have the same culture, there will be some customs that are difficult to accept.

This is especially true for international cultural exchanges.

Therefore, we need to be more cautious.

“The only thing that can express Chinese culture is music and dance.”

"And it must have the characteristics of the Western Regions."

Li Jinglin frowned.

Looking through books and looking up information.

There are many books.

The book placed at the top has a very obscure name.

"Maha Doulue--Reference Materials for Textual Research"

"Maha Dulu" is the music score of Hu Lefo written by Zhang Qian of the Han Dynasty when he was visiting Chang'an in the West.

It is the most important and only gift.

"Book of Jin Le Zhi" once recorded related stories.

It was probably the music score that Zhang Qian brought back that year that greatly shocked musician Li Yannian, and inspired him to create twenty-eight interpretations of new sounds.

[Chengyu thought of it as martial music, and in the later Han Dynasty, it was given to border generals. During the reign of Emperor He, tens of thousands of generals could use it. 】

Then it was lost.

However, although it has been lost, there are traces of what has been passed down from Chinese culture.

Through the modern Nanyin, we can really get a glimpse of it.

Maha Doule, Doule in Turkic language, Mongolian, is called "qu", while Maha is "big".

Daqu.

It seems difficult to find the roots.

But in fact, in the Chinese music documents that can be verified today, Nanyin still retains the word "Dou Le".

Chinese culture has closed the loop again.

And want to express the intention of "Western Regions".

This little thing is not enough.

Indian music, Persian music, Dunhuang music, and various ethnic minority music in XJ. In fact, they can all be used.

This is a huge amount of work.

I want a taste of the West.

first.

The most important thing is to find the groove.

I want to understand the rhythm of Western music.

Very simple, but slightly outrageous.

All you need to know is [Dongba~Dongba! NM is a fool].

Anyway, the rhythm of this thing will be very Western style.

Based on this rhythm.

Just expand on some more complex rhythms.

As for the scale, whether it is phrygian (Phrygian mode), phrygian dominant (Phrygian mode), flamenco mode, or Byzantine mode.

They can express the Western style very well.

Plus countless folk modes, or fuzzy modes and tonality choices.

Even if it's just to highlight the minor second of the first and second sounds.

Paired with rhythm, it can have a good taste of Pi Ya Zi.

Choice of instrument.

It has become even simpler.

For Li Jinglin, who was born as a violinist, the most familiar musical instrument from the Western Regions is undoubtedly the Kazakh Kubuzi, a national intangible cultural heritage.

First choice.

Kubuzi is very similar to a violin.

They are both stringed instruments, very similar in size, and even the timbre is very similar.

Even some Kubuzi products are made today.

Whether it's the fretboard, bridge, headstock, or tuning screws, they're almost all the same as a violin.

However, Kubuzi is placed on the lap and played like a cello or erhu.

As for the theme of the work.

One of the most worth writing about, the simplest, the most difficult, and the richest cultural heritage topics

It must be about Dunhuang.

Scenes of scenes began to appear in Li Jinglin's mind.

From Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions, Huo Qubing attacked the Xiongnu.

After the spread of Buddhism, the Tang Dynasty flourished.

Return to the Yijun, Wang Yuanlu.

Thousands of years of wind and sand have passed by, and on the stone slabs of Dunhuang murals, the flying fairies holding Buddhas came to life from the ancient murals.

That wonderful dance posture began to turn into musical notes.

The idea of ​​​​the work becomes more and more clear.

While Li Jinglin was studying, conceiving, and reviewing.

Luo Shiyao also came to Henan Satellite TV.

As a dance technical consultant, I discussed the next cultural and creative activities with several leaders.

"We have been arguing for a long time, and it was not officially established until some time ago."

Old Tang from Henan Satellite TV held a meeting for everyone.

He introduced with a smile.

"The content is a variety show, but whether it is a TV variety show, an online variety show, or a platform variety show, we have been arguing for a long time. Finally, we made a decision to launch a platform variety show."

"The platform I chose is Bilili. I heard that there are a lot of young people there and they are relatively receptive to traditional culture."

"As for the format, I originally planned to do dramas, and then I wanted to do songs. But after thinking about it carefully, I found that there is no shortage of similar variety shows in the variety show market today, but there are very few dance variety shows. So, after intense discussions, Later, we decided to do dance.”

Old Tang's words.

Immediately, several people present raised their eyebrows.

Although it wouldn’t be called a “subversive attempt”.

However, he also made a few risky moves.

In the eyes of many people, the traditional culture + dance + screening platform is a more two-dimensional version of Bilili.

happy.

At first glance.

All seem to be options that are easy to throw away.

"What's the name of the show?"

Commander Shen frowned.

Asked.

"As for the format of the content, is it mainly based on dance competition or dance selection?"

There are actually quite a few dance variety shows.

But most of them are still "PK" and "battle" games.

""Dancing for a Thousand Years" is homophonic to the five thousand years of China."

Old Tang smiled mysteriously.

"However, in terms of content, I do not intend to engage in confrontation, but combine music, dance, art design and other elements with traditional Chinese artistic styles into a whole program performance."

"Focus on expressing and interpreting some of the more famous characters or stories in history."

"Huh? That sounds pretty good."

No need for too much explanation.

Shen Tuan could quickly come up with ideas in his mind.

This is actually a kind of "holistic art".

Holistic art was proposed by Wagner.

This great composer, during the opera era, integrated painting, dance, language, and drama in the form of music into a holistic work of art.

The concept of "Dance for a Thousand Years" is based on this.

The stage design will have a strong Chinese color, whether it is clothing styles, symbols, or patterns.

All intangible cultural heritage can be intangible cultural heritage.

And music, dance.

That's even better.

After integrating these, we will describe some of the more romantic periods and more romantic things in history.

Take things that originally only existed in books, or were recorded in cold and dry words.

Turned into an "audiovisual work".

"I think this idea is quite good. Even if there is a high chance of failure, it is still worth a try."

"Yes, this is also the design that was finally decided after the debate."

After listening to Shen Tuan's words.

Old Tang nodded.

"On the musician side, in addition to other seniors in the industry, Li Jinglin has also been invited. However, there is currently no specific program intention and there is no contact for the time being."

"Now, in the early stage, we will cooperate first, and in the later stage, other national-level academies may join."

"Well, this is the best. We need to move forward quickly and come up with a finished work to promote, drive the popularity and attention of the program, and attract more theater groups to join."

Captain Shen nodded.

Without further ado.

After some discussions about the program, the content was quickly discussed.

There was a lot to discuss.

"Yao Yao, where do you think we should start with this program?"

"Well, historical stories, scenes, and traditional elements are not as good as sword dance? Gongsun's sword dance can also show the atmosphere of the prosperous Tang Dynasty."

"Huh? This is good. You must have it. Write it down first."

"anything else?"

"Focus on folk dance and classical dance? The "Blue and White Porcelain" I previously collaborated with A Lin also used water sleeves and oil-paper umbrellas. I think these things can also be used."

"Well, yes, there are still encouragement and dancing, including civil and martial arts."

Under the advice of dance expert Luo Shiyao

Many distinctive dance styles, dance elements, and ancient historical stories are beginning to become clearer.

"How about asking Alin?"

"Well, we just want to work together and see where he wants to start."

At Luo Shiyao's suggestion, the group contacted Li Jinglin.

"Dance for a Thousand Years? A holistic audition art that integrates music, dance, and art design?"

As soon as he heard this, Li Jinglin immediately became interested.

This attempt seems to be quite novel.

"It's just right. Recently, I have been studying the creation of music from the Western Regions to prepare for cultural exchanges along the Silk Road. How about linking it up and creating a dance program about Dunhuang culture?"

There is so much dance music about Dunhuang.

I advise you not to guess. You will definitely not be able to guess.

Just wait until I write it.

Go to bed and catch up on some sleep.
