"The sound of the harmonica matches the culture of the city and is the memory of the city," said composer Sun Binbin.
The first harmonica factory in China was born in Shanghai. The harmonica is the first musical instrument that many Shanghainese come into contact with, and it is all the rage. Sun Binbin met the Magic Sound Harmonica Orchestra by chance, and immediately came up with the idea of creating a piece of music for them.
"The harmonica has developed a lot now, with a wide range and variety, but there are very few professional harmonica-playing groups. The Magic Sound Harmonica Orchestra is the most active one in mainland China, which is very rare." In this year's Qunxing Award, the instrumental performance "He Ming" by a multi-national musical instrument ensemble won the Qunxing Award. This time, he chose a niche harmonica creation, which is exciting. She said that she hopes to use her creations to make more people understand and fall in love with harmonica.
The harmonica is relatively small, and the Conservatory of Music does not offer this major. In order to create "Falling in Love with This City", Sun Binbin did a lot of preparatory work, and the final piece of music is from Shanghai and Jiangnan, "Very tolerant, very Shanghai. "
"This is a very modern and modern piece, with both traditional and popular elements. From the player's point of view, there are both soothing parts and many fast melodic sections with high technical difficulty. The whole piece is very rich." Wang Wenchen, the second soprano harmonica of the band, said.
There are very few pieces of music specially created for harmonica. "Falling in Love with This City" uses a combination of "chromatic harmonica", "chord harmonica" and "bass harmonica" in the harmonica family, trying to use new performance forms to present a new feeling—— The charm of the south of the Yangtze River, the dynamic of the city, and the romantic charm all interweave the emotions and reasons for "falling in love with this city". The song surprised them very much. During the rehearsal process, they also participated in the creation, constantly adjusted the rhythm of the music, and finally presented a very distinctive performance.
In front is a bright and beautiful stage, with soaring peaks and red flags fluttering, actors presenting wonderful performances, and behind them are the perspiring set-up workers, carrying speaker carpets on their shoulders, and quickly transitioning and setting up... This is a real stage performance, before and behind the stage, but For group writers, stage builders and stage actors, these two identities are often combined.
""Installing the Stage" comes from my deep-rooted feelings for the stage." Director Gu Fengqing stepped on the stage at the age of 16 and performed in the army art troupe. After retiring from the army, he worked on the Qunwen stage for more than 20 years. He wanted to use the form of art. The story is presented on the stage.
Gu Fengqing creatively designed many hip-hop elements in the group dance and invited hip-hop dancers to present them, which added a lot of power and wit to "Taiwan", which blended well with the fast-paced work in the background. The whole dance is like a light and witty little story: a group of actors went to perform a performance of benefiting the people, built the stage through their own labor, and staged a good show.
The show has been rehearsed for more than a year. During the performance, Lao Bai liked this dance very much. "This dance is very life-like and down-to-earth. In addition to the body language of the dance, there is also a storytelling in it." Gu Fengqing believes that this is the reason why "Taiwan" is popular.
The red theme has always been what the screenwriter Liu Xiaogeng wanted to create. "The martyrs use their blood to protect the safety of the country and the country. All their struggles and sacrifices are for our happy life today, and they are not far from us." So in her writing, there is The intersection of a young warrior who spanned time and space and today's young people in today's time and space. The direct collision of the two dramatic situations conforms to the artistic laws of the drama, has an impact, and intuitively completes the distant view and the retrospective. The naive and cute little warriors who speak dialects also reflect the close connection between Shanghai and the rest of the country.
In the work, the test pilot Tong Weiqiang used his wisdom and tenacious will to exchange valuable data, which provided strong support for the improvement of my country's new generation of fighters. This is also a work dedicated to the times by Jiading, the famous city of Quyi.
"The development of quyi is not only to inherit classic works, but also to tell the things that people care about through new creations in the new era. Constantly innovating and bringing new life to traditional art is also one of the main points of the 'Shanghai style spirit'." Team counseling Zhou He thinks.
In addition to the four major categories of music, dance, drama, and folk art, this year's All Star Awards have added square dance works and chorus competitions.
The music of the square dance "Longtang Haze" delivered directly from Shanghai was adapted from "Four Seasons Song". Aunts and mothers dressed in Shanghai-style cheongsam danced to show the life scenes of Shanghai alley women. The scenes and movements of washing and cooking, looking in the mirror and dressing up were all incorporated into the dance. Through the dialogue of time and space, the beautiful time of "recalling the past" and the beautiful vision of "going to the future" are presented.
Founded in 2001, Shanghai Nanxiang Hundred Flowers Choir is a well-known mass amateur chorus organization in Shanghai. They have won many national awards such as the "2011 (Chongqing) Chinese Red Song Festival" competition promulgated by the Ministry of Culture; the "Stars Award" of the 10th China Arts Festival and many other national awards, and won the Shanghai Qunwen New Talents and New Works Exhibition for four consecutive years.

After several years of polishing, compared with the first stage, "these works have obviously reached a higher level". The selected works also reflect that Shanghai Qunwen's creation is increasingly developing towards urban cooperation and district cooperation. It is difficult to "fight alone" to stand out from the encirclement, and the creation of the team around the core personnel has become the mainstream, and the content is constantly changing. Innovating and presenting the characteristics of Shanghai style has also become the goal that the creators are constantly pursuing.
It is reported that the finals of the Qunxing Awards will be held in Tianjin and Hebei in September.

"I Remember You, You Live"
The encounter between two 20-year-old young people across time and space is shocking. The "traveling" little soldier found himself about to sacrifice, but resolutely chose to return to the battlefield. The little soldier's sentence "you remember me, I will live" , is the distant view of the martyrs, but also the retrospect of today's people. The young choreographer Liu Xiaogeng's sketch "I Remember You, You Live" expresses the memory of the martyrs and the love for the motherland in a unique way.The red theme has always been what the screenwriter Liu Xiaogeng wanted to create.
