In the beautiful microscopic world built using XR technology and CG special effects, the Chinese-style young man Liu Yu dances, sings and sings poems, and "collides" with Lingnan's traditional paper-cutting skills on stage for the first time! Guangdong Satellite TV's Dragon Year Bay Area Spring Festival Gala national trend concept film "Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon" was launched online, using the integration and innovation of "ideology + art + technology" to show the cultural brilliance of "eternal and present, new and new every day".
Technology bridges, getting closer to the beauty of traditional culture
XR-based digital technology runs through the creative process of "Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon" and is the basis for creative design and content presentation. What is new is not only technology, but also ideas. The program opens with a focus on the national intangible cultural heritage "Foshan Paper-cutting" and uses it as the "key" to open the virtual world, taking the audience into a beautiful world of paper-cutting from a microscopic perspective.
Auspicious clouds, flowing water, flowers, good fruits, wok-eared houses, four-legged pavilions... Decorated with the grand scenery of Lingnan, Liu Yu, a young Chinese-style boy dressed in white, shines on the virtual stage. At this moment, the walls of time and space are broken and reorganized, and traditional culture and youth trends "go in both directions"!
If building a virtual paper-cut world is a hard-core test, then the seamless connection between real scenes and virtual scenes will only become more difficult. In order to highlight the agility and timelessness of "Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon", a large-area water stage was designed for the real-life stage. The ripples in the water will undoubtedly cause light reflections, which poses many challenges to the tracking and integration of XR technology.
Overturned again and again, faced difficulties time and time again, the artistic workers of Guangdong Radio and Television Station adhered to their ingenuity, opened roads in the mountains and built bridges when encountering rivers, and explored a feasible path for emerging technologies to help the living inheritance of culture.
Do your best to tell warm inheritance stories
Only by thoroughly understanding the culture can the audio-visual expression be deep and warm.
The Bay Area Spring Festival Gala national trend concept film "Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon" selected "paper-cutting" as a concrete element of cultural inheritance. Foshan paper-cutting in Guangdong is unique due to its techniques of "chiseling, lining, printing and painting", and is known as "an intangible cultural heritage on your fingertips".
But few people know that paper-cutting has a longer history than paper. It can be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty. During the Warring States Period, there was the craft of silver foil engraving. Therefore, paper-cutting uses not only "paper" but also "foil". Among the paper-cutting categories in Foshan, there is a popular craft that uses "foil" to make paper-cut crafts - copper chisel paper-cutting.
Rao Baolian, the inheritor of intangible cultural heritage paper-cutting invited in the program "Caiyun Chasing the Moon", is determined to "resurrection" the unique skill of copper chisel paper-cutting that has been lost for many years. Since copper foil was discontinued, she searched year after year for alternatives. Hard work pays off. Rao Baolian discovered that after plating gold on the copper sheet, the paper-cutting is not easy to oxidize, and the color of the work always remains bright. Since then, a new category of copper chisel paper-cutting - "gold and copper chisel paper-cutting" was born!
culture has not only come back from "resurrection", but has also undergone innovative development. The prototype of the paper-cut world in the program "Caiyun Chasing the Moon" was created by Rao Baolian. This is her participation in the Guangdong Satellite TV Bay Area Spring Festival Gala, a New Year's masterpiece carefully created for the national audience and users across the entire network.
Things add splendor, a new theory of intangible cultural heritage harmonizes with the beauty of the times
Under the bright moon, in the gallery pavilion, Rao Baolian and Liu Yu sat opposite each other, carefully teaching the paper-cutting skills. While taking over the paper-cutting and carving knife, Liu Yu also took over the mission of cultural inheritance from the inheritors of intangible cultural heritage.
Liu Yu, who has developed in the fields of singing, film and television, and dance in recent years, has grown up with the national style culture, transforming his own "flow" into cultural "retention", and helping to inherit it in the "dissemination".
This time, Liu Yu brought a brand new interpretation of Chinese style singing and dancing in "Caiyun Chasing the Moon". In addition to the high "dance" value as always, the lyrics of this famous Lingnan song also have new changes. The famous musician Cui Shixuan re-wrote the Mandarin lyrics of the song, while the Cantonese lyrics were written by Feng Minyi, a first-level playwright of the Guangdong Cantonese Theatre.
's adapted version of "Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon" echoes a hundred years of time, and uses the beautiful arias of "the bright moon on the sea is thousands of miles away" and "the soul embraces each other" to narrate the story of the Greater Bay Area's culture having the same origin and its new and brilliant culture. Come, help the Bay Area’s intangible cultural heritage enter thousands of households and enter the hearts of more young people in a more dazzling form.
" Dragon Prosperity Greater Bay Area - 2024 Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Spring Festival Gala " will be broadcast on Guangdong Satellite TV, Electric Shock News, and "Kepler Star" at 19:30 on the first day of the Lunar New Year on February 10th. , Xuexue Qiangguo, Tencent Video and other platforms will be broadcast simultaneously, so stay tuned.
