The first set of "Opera Broadcast Gymnastics" in China was presented at the 217 Spring Festival Opera Evening. In fact, this set of radio exercises has attracted the attention of many netizens because of its teaching video. A few days ago, its creative team accepted an interview with a reporter from Zhongxin. com and described the creative process of this set of "Opera Broadcast Gymnastics".

Li Jing, director of the new media group of CCTV Opera Channel, told the reporter that only a part of this set of "Opera Broadcast Gymnastics" was broadcast at the Spring Festival Opera Evening on the 3th, and the teaching video of this set of broadcast gymnastics was uploaded to the Internet before the New Year.

However, at that time, Li Jing did not expect that this video, which lasted less than 4 minutes, could attract the attention of many netizens on the Internet. "We never thought that after uploading the video, it was suddenly widely forwarded by netizens."

Dou Xiaoxuan, an actor of Beijing Peking Opera Theatre who participated in the creation of this broadcast gymnastics, also has similar feelings with Li Jing. "I didn't expect it to be quite hot." After uploading the video to the internet, she has received "several" calls for interviews. At the same time, the reporter also noticed that as of 8: pm on the 3th, this video had been played more than 5.21 million times only on Tencent video.

The reporter saw that this set of "Opera Broadcast Gymnastics" is divided into nine sections, including warm-up exercise, limb exercise, shoulder exercise, whole body exercise, waist exercise, chest expansion exercise, jumping exercise, leg exercise and relaxation exercise. Although there is no difference between the name and the previous broadcast gymnastics, the movements in it are all integrated with the elements of China opera. In addition, there is a "free movement" for everyone to play freely.

Li Jing said that a lot of "highly professional movements with traditional Chinese opera elements" were added, including single arm pulling, waist washing, wrist waving, flying thirteen times and so on. "This kind of action is definitely difficult, and it will definitely make people shine."

In fact, since January 216, the new media group of CCTV Opera Channel has been conceiving this set of "Opera Broadcast Gymnastics". Li Jing said that from the moment this idea came into being, "we knew it was difficult".

"Broadcast gymnastics is standardized and standardized. Traditional Chinese opera is not an art known for its standards. It has no rigid standards, and it is oriental beauty. In this way, each school can give full play to their genre strengths and their different special certificates. To spread it to the whole people, the demonstration of the action must be strong, the acceptance must be high, and the circulation should be wider, so that the public can do it. " She said.

In the second half of p>216, the production of "Opera Broadcast Gymnastics" was officially started. The concept of "spreading opera for the masses" runs through.

The initial work was to summarize the past broadcast gymnastics in China by the editors in the group. "We found the first set of broadcast gymnastics from China to the eleventh set of broadcast gymnastics, and everyone watched it again. Then extract the movements with the widest intersection and find the part where this movement should be trained. For example, shoulder exercises need to be trained in the upper limbs and below the cervical spine. " Li Jing said.

After that, the opera actors will do the work. They need to find the movements that can exercise the corresponding parts in the opera, and at the same time, they should be simple and have the "beauty of opera".

"Let people who have no foundation in Peking Opera make it" is a standard that Dou Xiaoxuan remembers deeply in the process of composing. Many difficult movements are common for these professional opera actors, but not easy for the general public.

Dou Xiaoxuan said, "The lunges in our' Opera Broadcast Gymnastics' are all relatively small, like our whole body is going to collapse. The legs can't be like the actors kicking their heads. "

Li Jing recalled: "Every actor gave us feedback on the action, and we did it in the office the first time. If we found that we couldn't do it, we would ask them to rearrange the action."

She said that after such repeated revisions, these movements with traditional Chinese opera elements were finally sorted out and given to a young dancer to make them more popular.

In addition to polishing the movements, most of the music used in opera broadcast gymnastics is original. "In addition to the last" Ode to Pear Flowers "music, all the previous music is original, with elements such as gongs and drums and Jinghu."

Li Jing said.

She admits that after the video was released, "some education departments, school teachers and students have told us that their school has started to prepare for this set of opera broadcast gymnastics." She also heard that Lantian, an actor of Shanghai Peking Opera Theatre who participated in the creation, has received calls from many institutions and invited him to teach in person.

Dou Xiaoxuan feels that this set of opera broadcast gymnastics is undoubtedly beneficial to the promotion of China opera. "It mainly requires universality and popularity, or it needs to be accepted by more people who don't understand opera."

"Opera is beautiful. But in this era, it should not be so high and low at a certain level, and should enter public life. In fact, it should be more about the opera approaching the public, rather than letting the public deliberately approach the opera and traditional culture. " Li Jing said.
