In spring, flowers will bloom, and songs will come from the east. Hunan Satellite TV’s large-scale folk song competition “Spring Flowers”, created by Andersen Studio, aired its second episode last Friday night. The program scored 8.3 on Weibo. Breakthrough, at the same time #春花会开#, #huachenyusaid finally met guoqujianghu#, #guoqubecause of my mother’s 50-second voice to participate in the competition# and other program-related topics have also been listed on Weibo’s hot search list. After the contestants in the first half brought different styles of folk songs, the contestants in the second half also appeared one by one, using different styles and singing styles on Friday night, allowing Chinese folk songs to usher in a new era with a new look. trends and audiences.
Boldly try the innovation and adaptation of folk songs
Folk songs have a history. They were created by the working people and passed down orally in production and life activities, representing the voice of the working people’s music, and the folk music shown in “Spring Flowers” is in the same vein. Gong Shuang, an outstanding representative of the academy, sang the magnificent and agitation of the Yangtze River from the trickling water to the sea with a song “Song of the Yangtze River”, making the audience and listeners feel like they are on the Yangtze River, and their inner excitement is long Can’t calm down. Tan Weiwei commented that it “perfectly illustrates that good technology supports the best emotions”. Like Gong Shuang, Zhou Yichen, the “Prince of Musical Drama” from the academic school, brought a majestic “Love Is Forever” to the audience. With his mellow voice and full of emotions, he won the “full house” and made Bo Orchestra and Taiwan The following bosom friend sympathized with him and was deeply touched. Equally amazing is the Xinjiang folk song “Why Are Flowers So Red” brought by Chen Yingzhu. The fusion of gothic rock style and folk songs made Tan Weiwei say “learning is abolished”, which left a deep impression on Zhiyin Group.
As a traditional culture, folk songs must not only be inherited, but also how to “use” them. However, if young people are allowed to sing, they must be given the freedom to innovate and be passed on through “playing” and “playing”. “Things After That” adapted by “The World‘s Top 100 DJs” Guo Qu is the most typical adaptation idea – it not only retains the most recognizable melody part of the original song “Listening to Mom Tells the Story of the Past”, but also adds tenderness Delicate electronic music, and through the phonograph, a “medium” with a sense of age, has completed the grafting of time and space between the past and the present, making Bole Hua Chenyu “dancing” with excitement. In addition, the new performance of “Nanping Evening Bell” by Chu Di has more elements of drama and musicals.
Take the road of openness, diversity, integration and innovation
For folk songs to break out of the circle and break the circle, first of all, we must break through the circle of age groups, and let young people love folk songs as much as they like pop music. This is the kingly way. Only by winning the favor of young people can folk songs keep the classics alive and go to the future together. Many young netizens said that because they have been exposed to diverse cultures since childhood, they pursued a sense of collision of the overall sound of music, such as the ethereal bamboo flute, the electronic drum that directly strikes the heart and makes it tremble, and the electric guitar that expresses individuality and releases emotions. …diversity, individuality, color, tension, what they need is these musical auditory stimuli. Therefore, how to present traditional folk songs in a popular way is the thinking that the program brings to the public.
In addition, the inheritance of folk songs cannot only rely on breaking through the age circle. Only by “flying” folk songs and taking a road of openness, inclusiveness, integration and innovation can they be truly inherited and carried forward. On the stage, contestants from multiple nationalities used their own language to interpret the folk songs of their own ethnic groups in the most authentic way, showing national customs and promoting national customs through their voices. With her ethereal and pure voice, Jisha Shama, a girl from the Naxi ethnic group in Yunnan, brought a song “Take me to the top of the mountain” with national characteristics. This song has added the music of the Naxi ethnic group, and it is telling in every tune With the feeling of homesickness, hit the wanderer’s heart. As Lei Jia said, there are many national treasures, and music creators will find huge treasures when they search and dig.
The performance of the songs by the contestants in “Spring Flowers” not only reflects the young generation’s performance of trial and error and innovation in the inheritance of folk song culture, but also shows the openness and tolerance of folk song culture for innovation. As Mr. Liu Yi, a literary critic, said, “Innovation is never wrong. There are only failed ideas, and there are no failed innovations.”
The spring is full of gardens and cannot be closed, and the singing is melodious with the wind. Every Friday night at 8:10, lock in Hunan Satellite TV’s “Spring Flowers Will Bloom”, good news to be continued!
