On January 6, Luo Dayou, the old wolf, the good sister, Zhang Lei, and the landlord's cat sang the "New Folk Song" at the Bao'an Gymnasium.
10 song sessions, nearly 50 groups of singers from 27 cities, and 160 original masterpieces were collected ......A few days ago, the New Year's song meeting of "My City My Song - New Era City Folk Song Collection" came to an end. In the past two months, the series of activities of "My City, My Song" in the new era of Chinese urban folk songs have sung the story of Shenzhen and the exchanges between cities in the Bay Area, from the shore of the harbor to the financial district to the large venues, and worked hard to create a new highland for Chinese folk songs.
This is a grand occasion to connect people's hearts and convey culture with folk songs, highlighting the charm of communication and showing the sincerity of a city's invitation.
A city of immigrants. Shenzhen's urban temperament and folk song attributes are interlocked
Shenzhen has a long relationship with folk songs. As the forefront of reform and opening up, Shenzhen's original ** has always become the spiritual sustenance of the city. A large number of immigrants brought with them the dialects and ** of various places, as well as the desire for life and the pursuit of freedom. In such a city, a group of young people with ** dreams used guitars and singing voices to express their hearts and emotions, and created batches of Shenzhen folk songs.
Zhang Baisheng, content director of Tencent** Entertainment Group, said that after the reform and opening up, China's popular ** originated in the Greater Bay Area, and these cities in Guangzhou and Shenzhen have played a vital role in the development of China's popular **. As an important genre of Chinese pop, folk songs are deeply loved by the masses for their infectious power and resonance of lyrics. The development of folk songs is also inseparable from the boost of Shenzhen.
Hezong Culture Group is one of the organizers of this Wucheng Wuge, and it is also a folk incubator of the famous Shenzhen original **. Xu Xiaoying, co-founder and general manager of Hezong Culture Group, said that in the past 30 years, 3,786 first-class people and singers have been cultivated, of which folk songs account for 458%。Most of the folk singers are incubated and supported by the true color **scene, Hutaoli** tavern. There are many well-known artists who have been trained, such as Chen Chusheng, An Qi, Shangguan Ai, Fashion, Jiayi, etc., all of whom are still active on the front line of China's popular stage, "They represent Shenzhen and show the charm of China's local original ** in the world." ”
Xu Xiaoying said that with the three unique folk lines and cultures of Cantonese, Hakka and Chaoshan as the foundation, and the local dialect characteristics of the new Shenzhen people and the diversified international trend**, Shenzhen's folk songs are a model and development trend of urban folk songs in the new era. In terms of the theme of creation, it highlights more inspirational little people, changes of the times, environmental protection themes, etc.
Wang Jun, a senior music critic and director of the Pingshan Cultural Center, believes that Zhou Feng's "Night Mountains" to Li Chunbo's "A Letter to Home", Tang Lei's "Lilacs", and Chen Chusheng's "Has Anyone Told You" have all stepped on the footprints of folk songs. "As a city of immigrants, Shenzhen's urban temperament is closely intertwined with the essential attributes of the folk song 'singing life, singing the city, and singing youth', providing fertile soil for the germination of new sprouts of folk songs. Wang Jun said.
Shenzhen story. Sing the sound of the tide of the four seas, Hakka customs, and the voice of the Bay Area
It lasted 3 months, singing from autumn to winter. It is worth noting that in the Wucheng Wuge activity, Shenzhen used the sincerity of a city to gather the folk song power from all over the country, sang the story of Shenzhen with folk songs, and built the Shenzhen brand.
In the "Tide of the Four Seas" session, Chaoshan folk songs sang the story of the sea and the land, inheriting the excellent folk culture of Chaoshan. In the "Hakka Customs" special session, Hakka folk songs sang the feelings of mountains, rivers and bamboo forests, and conveyed the hometown complex of the Hakka people. In the "Voice of the Bay Area" special session, 19 folk singers from Shenzhen, Hong Kong, Macao and other places sang hot and hot sounds, showing the sense of the times and creativity of the Bay Area people, and conveying the self-confidence and pride of the Bay Area people.
A series of special songs, closely following the core of urban folk songs, inclusive of ** from all over the country with an open attitude, meeting with citizens in the name of folk songs, expressing my feelings with my heart, singing my city with my songs, and blooming the folk songs of different regions. This feast not only enriches Shenzhen's culture, but also pays tribute to the excellent traditional Chinese culture, and also promotes the cultural exchanges between Lingnan and the Bay Area, jointly explores and develops the diversification and internationalization of folk songs, and forms a cultural consensus and identity in the Bay Area.
Song of the City. During the event, 160 original folk songs were collected
In particular, it is worth mentioning that "My City and My Song" not only creates a stage for singing folk songs, but also innovatively creates the "Shenzhen Premiere Center for Chinese Urban Folk Songs", hoping to fully tap the power of folk songs and present more possibilities for folk songs through multi-party participation. During the event, a large number of people from the literary and artistic circles and young people came to Shenzhen to participate in the creation of folk songs, and the organizers collected 160 original masterpieces, and many people made the first songs through the "My City My Song" Chinese Urban Folk Songs Shenzhen Premiere Center Platform.
Xu Xiaoying believes that during the performance, the lineup of popular traffic bands from 27 cities across the country told the story of Shenzhen and created a new story of Shenzhen.
In Zhang Baisheng's view, the creation of a special festival or activity IP, such as "My City My Song", so that folk songs can enter more ordinary people's homes in the way of performances, can effectively enhance the influence and popularity of Shenzhen folk songs.
Wang Jun said that folk songs and cities go hand in hand, and the development of cities will resonate with the development of folk songs. "Just as without the rapid development of New York in the 60s of the 20th century, there would be no Bob Dylan, and without the economic revival of Taiwan, China in the 80s of the 20th century, there would be no Luo Dayou and Li Zongsheng, Shenzhen's urban prosperity will surely lead to the prosperity of folk songs, and the development of folk songs will also become the badge of the city's singing. ”
In his opinion, 30 years ago, the soil of Shenzhen could fly out of the "Story of Spring", and in the future, Shenzhen can grow a more vigorous and energetic and brand-new "city song".
