"Yi Red" not only reproduces the famous Yi-Hai alliance story, but also integrates and displays the unique musical and artistic charm of the Yi people and the rich national customs. In order to stand out among many works with similar themes, "Yi Red" has used a strong creative lineup. Li Ting, a national first-level screenwriter and former artistic director of Sichuan People's Art, is the screenwriter, and Huang Dingshan, a famous drama director and former director of the People's Liberation Army General Political Opera Troupe, is the screenwriter. Cao Ping, the chief director and a national first-level director, serves as the director, Liu Dangqing, chairman of the Sichuan Popular Music Association, composes the music, and Tang Qingshi, a national first-level conductor, serves as the music director and conductor.
At the symposium, Li Ting, artistic director, screenwriter and lyricist of "Yi Hong" said that from the "heavy pressure" at the beginning to the "eureka moment", all the creative team's efforts have been devoted, from the musical version to the opera version. Changes, the attitude of the main creators and actors to strive for excellence, have made it the masterpiece it is today.
"Yi Red" combines traditional red themes with contemporary stage art. With the help of Liangshan's rich national cultural resources, it provides a connotative and special story, a stage drama with characters and cultural quality that will delight the audience. While talking to the sky of history, he is also moved by the fate of the characters in the play, and gains historical cognition and aesthetic pleasure from the interweaving of historical events, dramatic conflicts and national customs.

In the play "Yi Red", the original Yi singing, like the call of distant mountains, leads the audience into history, into Liangshan, and into the inner world of a nation. According to reports, 95% of the actors in "Yi Hong" are local ethnic actors in Liangshan. They do not have professional musical theater performance skills. Most of them basically learn the stage performance of musicals from scratch. Because of this, actors are more able to express their true feelings on stage and perform with heart.
In the view of Huang Dingshan, the chief director of "Yi Red", a famous drama director, and the former director of the People's Liberation Army General Political Opera Troupe, "Yi Red" and the Yi actors are more like a "two-way rush" for mutual achievement. Because of their unique national attributes and temperament, Yi actors can understand the emotions to be expressed in artistic works, and "Yi Red", which has been polished repeatedly, is also a platform for cultivating outstanding actors. Without good works, good actors cannot be cultivated.
Liangshan is the hometown of singing and dancing. From the Yi dance "Happy Nuosu" that amazes the whole country to the drama "Song of the Slaves", from the movie "My Holy Journey" to the TV series "Yi Hai Alliance", all of them are explaining what Liangshan is. A fertile ground for the germination of artistic creation.
In recent years, Liangshan has taken national unity and progress as its starting point and has continuously polished its bright business card of national unity and family unity. Nowadays, under the background of the "Culture and Tourism Strategy to Strengthen the State", Liangshan's cultural undertakings and cultural industries are booming. A large number of Liangshan's outstanding local cultural and tourism brands represented by "Yihong" are constantly rising and becoming a major force in Liangshan's efforts to create China. Taking the new coordinates of literature and art and the new IP of western cultural tourism as the goal, we strive to accelerate the construction of an effective engine for the sub-center of literature and art in Sichuan Province.
