Red is the most distinctive political background of the Communist Party of China. To tell the red story, tell the principle of red, infected with red literary works, guide people, and guide people, it is inseparable from the excellent red theme. They are players, composers, painters, poets, and the descriptions and writers of the spirit of the Communist Party in the new era. They are writing the most brilliant red with passionate creation.

In the new era, how can I write the red and make the red never fade? With this problem, the reporter of "Southern" magazine approached the creator of the red theme, listening to the suffering and glory behind the creation of red theme.

Illuminated by Wanjia Light

"China in the lights, youthful grace; China in the lights is vast. Wanli Mountain River with light rolling back has returned a century -old commitment ..." At the Spring Festival Gala in the Central Radio and Television General Taiwan in 2021, the female treble singer Zhang It also collided with pop singer Zhou Shen cross -border, and cooperated with a pleasant "China in the Light".

On January 31, 2022, this song appeared again in Bilibili "By the age". "The streets of the city", "the village in the distant mountains", "the sail returning to the port" ... The scenes depicted in the lyrics are specifically displayed in the form of animation, connecting a prosperous scroll that spans time and space, thousands of lights. The night warmed the hearts of many audiences. The comments with the most likes under Bilibili "China in the Light" program are "This is the first in my mind"; in the barrage, the screen is "crying and crying"; there are netizens who post the barrage to say This song seems to tell a "our own story".

In the past, the main theme songs created lyrics with bright and splendid and magnificent images. There were not many works with "villages' flames, community lights, moonlight, and bright fireworks" as the core intent. The emergence of "China in the Light" shows the different perspectives of the creators from the current observation and thinking.

"This lighting is actually the star fire that inherits the revolutionary period, and it is the image of continuing the spirit of the past revolution. Once I went to the old revolutionary district, I saw the oil lamps and horse lights used by people before, and when I stood on the bright streets of the Shenzhen lights, it was very very very very very very very very very very popular. It is easy to think of China, which was dark, and now it is a bright light. In the past and now, it was very moved and lamented! "The lyricist of" China in the Light ", the vice chairman of the Shenzhen Writers Association, said.

From the birth to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, "China in the Light" has experienced several modifications. It is said that after the song was written, some people commented that although this song was born in Shenzhen, it did not have the characteristics of the special zone, it seems that it has nothing to do with the SAR. However, the field has his own insistence on this: "I wanted to write a work dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the founding of the party, not to say that there must be a strong regional color of Shenzhen. Feel the humanistic atmosphere and landscape of Shenzhen in the song. "Before the" China in China "appeared before the Spring Festival Gala, the Spring Festival Gala show group proposed to increase the depiction of more northern scenes. As a result, the field highlights "the sails returning to the port passing by the lighthouse". He believes that "there are also large ports in the north, and there are channels to connect with the world." He used this to show the vast and far away of the north. On the Spring Festival Gala, the lyrics have been changed again. "Rainbow Bridge, Underwater" and other fields were removed by the fields. It was completely connected into a phrase "The sails returned to Hong Kong passed by the lighthouse, and the pace of dreaming was staggered in the moon."

The more than 30 years of hard work and thoughts in Shenzhen has given the field very generous creation soil. "Shenzhen is a city that is tolerant and encourages innovation, and it has given creators a very good creative environment." The field said, "Every policy is landing and the city changes. Our feelings are the deepest. It was done by Shenzhen. This experience itself gave me a lot of creative inspiration and impulse I wanted to express and wanted to write, so that I have the desire to express. "

"China in the Light" is particularly loved by young groups, which is unexpected and reasonable. From the field of field, to write the main theme literary works with youthful atmosphere and make young people like it, we must study the preferences of young groups and study the current aesthetic trend, so that the main melody is also fashionable.

"Creation cannot build a pavilion in the air. It must have a firework taste, falling on the ground, and it is implemented." Tian said.

Every revolutionary mother is unique

Fan Sha Xia, who has won the Chinese Caoyu Script Award, the Outstanding Screenwriting Award of the Chinese Drama Festival and the first prize of the Guangdong Provincial Art Festival, and the first prize of the Guangdong Provincial Art Festival. For Fan Shaxia, one study brought a lot of inspiration to her drama screenwriter career. And the continuous pursuit of art, the deep perception of life, and the constant thinking of the times have become her source of creation.

"That learning broaden my creative horizons, and it has been greatly improved in terms of materials selection and ideas." In 1996, Fan Shaxia participated in the study of the first screenwriter of the Chinese Academy of Art. The Institute of Opera Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Arts has organized several director training courses. The first phase is composed of students from Guangdong, Shandong, and Shanxi.

Over the years, the script created by Fan Shaxia has both new ancient dramas and traditional dramas that have been compiled and re -created. There are also red theme dramas. Regardless of what kind of drama, Fan Shaxia pays attention to the artistic nature of the drama, and strives to pursue ideology. The white -character drama "Peng Yue's Mother" is a red theme drama created by Fan Shaxia in recent years. Throughout the stage of the drama, the works of the red mothers have emerged endlessly. "Every mother's greatness is unique. Mother -in -law's tattoos and Meng's mother moved three. What about Peng Yue's mother?" For Fan Shaxia, it is difficult to successfully shape the typical image of Peng Yue's mother Zhou Feng. , Especially in the form of long -established ancient plays to express revolutionary historical figures, it is very challenging.

Fan Shaxia believes that as long as you adhere to the art of drama, integrate ideological and artistic, and create a unique and vivid character image, you can write a good red theme drama. The white -character drama "Peng Yue's Mother" opened with Peng Yue's deep thoughts and guilt on his mother in prison, bringing out his life connection with his mother and the integration of revolutionary thoughts, and then reviewing Zhou Feng's ups and downs of the revolutionary mother. Fan Shaxia's clever conception and intentional preparations have shaped Zhou Feng's unique revolutionary mother typical — the feelings of mother Dade great love cultivated the growth of her son Peng Yue. On the contrary, the son's revolutionary ideal and feelings also profoundly affected the mother.

Once "Peng Yue's Mother" came out, it was well received. Its script was selected for the 2019 Ministry of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism's script support project. In 2019, the play was listed as "the 70th anniversary of the establishment of the People's Republic of China to the 70th anniversary of the establishment of the People's Republic of China" in Guangzhou, which caused a sensation. In 2020, the drama as the only drama in Guangdong to participate in the National Grassroots Council's performances on the platform of the Cultural Tourism Department. The online audience volume is as high as 2.95 million. The main singing section also sang among the masses.

"The successful creation of" Mother of Peng Yue "allowed me to experience the cultivation and cultivation of red drama creators, which should be exerted in the quality of the art of drama. One is to shape the vivid and touching character image, so that there is a dramatic art value, and the vitality of drama art. "Fan Shaxia said.

"Traditional drama has the function of high platform education. This cultural thinking is in line with the concept of contemporary 'people -centered' literary and artistic creation." When talking about the creation of drama, Fan Shaxia believes that most of the red drama shows the modern revolutionary process of the modern revolution. Persons and stories, so in the spiritual expression, the ideological and ideological relationship with the real society is closer, and it can also bring moral inspiration and spiritual improvement to the audience. However, red drama should be avoided into the interpretation of the incident and becomes a character propaganda. The conceptual interpretation does not have the artistic value of the stage.

She said: "Whether or not it is a red theme drama, they must follow the people -centered creative concept. We must not be separated from reality, from the people, and out of the times. Ask; to work hard from the art of drama, so that the character image can be seen, credible, dedicated, and fleshy. "

Proposition of Times in a well -off narrative

Based on the changes in the lives of ordinary people as a foothold, we can build a creative framework by adopting the chronological history. Time as the scriptures, characters and events as weft, more than 1 million words, more than 300 pictures, more than 1,000 characters, and more than 600 vivid stories. Draw the "Qingming Shanghe Tu" that builds a well -off society in Guangdong. This is exactly the masterpiece "Struggle and Glory -Guangdong Well -off narrative" born in Guangdong.

"The creation of a well -off narrative is the hardest and most tired life in my decades of creative career!" Liu Jian, one of the authors of "Struggle and Glory -Guangdong Well -off narrative". As the first panoramic historical record of the well -off project in China, the first large -scale documentary literature of Guangdong's well -off construction of Guangdong's well -off construction is full of hardships and twists and turns as the birth of poverty alleviation.

Since November 2019, the Guangdong Provincial Writers Association and the Provincial Publishing Group have organized 13 writers to continue fighting, tackling and writing for more than a year, and they are easy to make their drafts and repeatedly polish. Reading meeting; 4 editors and more than 10 hard -working editors in Huacheng Publishing House, and school pairing, beauty editors, printing, marketing and distribution and other departments cooperated to ensure that this heavy book is available as scheduled, and it is the first to be the first in many types of the same types of theme books. "Banging lines" and seizing people first.

"The creative process is a process of reviewing and a process of thinking. Looking back, because I have experienced this process. The characters and stories I use are carefully selected by me. Behind each character and their stories, they are behind their stories. The place that moved me to make me think and reflect on it. For example, the construction of highways, just thirty or forty years ago, there is no highway in Guangdong. From Yuexiu to Zengcheng, it used to be regarded as long -distance. The convenience, how much effort and sweat from the highway builders of the year, remember to "eat water and don't forget to dig wells'. For example, Hong Kong was short of water and lack of food. Also send water to Hong Kong. This is the story of the East Deep Water Supply Project and the Three Express. This is a true story of blood densely more water. I often write thousands of emotions while writing. A loved ones who are thicker than water. "When mentioning the inner feelings when creating, Liu Jian's box could not stop as soon as he opened it. Liu Jian recalled that the task of finding the information when writing at that time was too arduous: "Due to the new crown pneumonia's epidemic, it is not convenient to enter the library to check the information. . Thousands of newspapers often have dozens of pages or even hundreds of pages per copy. Review them one by one in the computer. At first glance, it is a few hours.

Writing is a brain work and physical work. This is the common feeling of the creative team. "Zhang Shishan" is the total pseudonym of 13 writers such as Zhang Peizhong, Wang October, Chen Qiwen, Zeng Pingjiao, Li Yanxin, He Long, Yu Jixin, Wang William, Li Heng, Shenghui, Liu Jian, Chen Feng, Yao Zhongcai. Shishan is both the harmonic of the thirteen, but also contains the connotation of the heavy era. Liu Jian introduced to the "Southern" magazine reporter that the participating authors should have been out of production or semi -semi -produced writing, but the job tasks of many authors are in heavy work tasks, and they often work overtime, and even use the time of double holidays. When the night was quiet, the family was sleeping, but Zhang Shishan hid in the study to check the information and wrote a book.

However, high -intensity and high -concentration creative rhythm also inspire the writer's creative ability and enthusiasm. When writing the Dongshen Water Supply Project, Liu Jian felt: "After I finished writing, I felt that I was still unhappy, so I wrote another song art script to tell the story of the Dongjiang water supply in Hong Kong and Xijiang water supply. "Water", just won the first prize of the song arts of the Provincial Literary and Cultural Travel Department in June this year. "He frankly said:" I am very grateful for this writing. The four -volume book of Xiaokang narrative is an excellent treasure trove of literary and artistic creation. One or more stories can be performed in other literary and art forms such as drama, TV series. "

A set of books, more than 1 million words, and a panoramic display of the difficult journey and brilliant achievements of Guangdong's well -off construction in 40 years, covering the fields of economy, people's livelihood, rule of law, culture, ecology, science and technology innovation, and witness the era with literature. This is not only the story of Guangdong, but also the story of everyone, condensing the times, condensing the spirit of history.

For writers such as Liu Jian, this creation also brought a calm and speculative understanding to his literary creation: "Theme creation is also creation, not to choose some tall things. Theme creation is inseparable from literature without literature. The basic law of creation. Story is a major theme story, but writing should follow the laws of general literary creation, pay attention to the three -dimensional characteristics of the character and image of the characters, and think and perform multi -dimensional thinking on the incident. You also need to use your heart with your heart, which may be called the artistic expression of the major theme '. "

Novels, dramas, TV dramas, movies, opera, songs ... When the red story, the spirit of the times is re -described in a sense of the times, it will stir up the ripples in people's hearts; Retrojiting will stand in front of people. If there is any law behind the creation of red themes, it should be the true and true feelings of literary and artistic creation. The infinite love for the times and the country's country, and the ultimate pursuit of eternity of truth, goodness, beauty.
