If the red literary creator does not pay attention to the life or emotional distance of the story and the audience, the works that finally appear on the stage will often appear "fake and empty", losing the "truth", "truth" of emotions, and the "true" of the subject matter "True" of art

The core value of red theme works is that it is telling the story of emotion and the story of faith. Why is the red theme work touching? In this period, the round table forum invited three experts from their respective majors and observations to talk about the underlying logic of red literary and artistic creation.

Avoid "literature is covered by history"

"Southern" magazine: It is said that it is difficult to create red themes. Where is it difficult? what is the reason?

Zhang Jinqiong: The red theme works must be touching, and to become a classic, there are two main challenges: the first is determined by the theme selected by the author. Red theme has red genes and is very positive. They have "typical" or "specialty". If the red literary creator does not pay attention to the incident or the life or emotional distance of the audience, but blindly consider the political significance, educational significance, and propaganda significance of the subject matter. , Lost the "truth" of life, the "truth" of emotions, and the "truth" of the art on the stage. The characters will not be cute, and they will not be touching without empathy with the audience. The second is the decision of the creator's ability to control the subject matter. If the editor -in -chief team, especially the screenwriter and director, do not have the ability to control, the work will only be a "narrative" or "statement" that floats on the surface, or a very routine structural drama. Falling into the custom, it makes people's common appearance, which can not cause a sense of resonance on the stage.

Chen Xi: First of all, the red theme works are easily caught in literary lack of literature. The revolutionary movement is a "background", which is composed of "people" with "bloody, tension". Creators should avoid excessive "non -literary" factors in order to highlight the ideological theme of revolutionary struggle, and "literature". Covering by history ".

Secondly, the creation of red theme is easily bound by historical materials. Most of the current red literary and art creators have not experienced the red years and need to use historical materials. On the one hand, we must fully digest and absorb and integrate the author's own life perception and aesthetic experience; on the other hand, it is necessary to trigger the imagination and creativity of the writer and perform art processing.

Third, we must have the organic unity of contemporary consciousness to achieve historical rationality and humanistic care. For example, when writing the revolution of Peng Yue, Peng Yue was born in a landlord family and studied at Waseda University in Japan. It was obviously rich. Why did he embark on the road of revolution and become the king of farmers' sports? The creator should use modern consciousness to examine him, walk into his heart, and explore his character, ideals, and pursuit. Writing this way can the characters truly live in, so that they can be literary and touching. When we mention the excellent works of Ouyang Shan, Chen Can Yun and others, we will find that these works are the characteristics of Lingnan culture open, tolerant, pragmatic, and innovative. One side raises one person, and in the same way, one person has achieved a soil and soil. Lingnan's style and folk customs have close relationships with the character, growth, and development of the revolutionaries. This is also more prominent in Guangdong's red works.

Zhou Xili: First of all, the creator needs a big breakthrough in artistic concepts. It is not only stopped to praise heroes, describes suffering, reproduces the journey, and tells legends. It is necessary to have a sufficient study, research, and correct understanding of history, and at the same time reflect the thinking and value orientation of society, history, and life, and express the perception and pursuit of ideals and beliefs. Creation with faith, and just a story about a special era, the difference between its creative practice direction is self -evident; briefly tells history, vividly restores history, and shapes a living image in history. The difference is self -evident.

Secondly, creators also need to have sufficient innovative ability. We see a lot of good works, such as "My and My Motherland", "Awakening Age", "Wujiang Yin", etc. They use modern art language, return to human nature, pay attention to the life experience and spiritual world of individuals in historical time. True, thereby showing extraordinary artistic weather, bringing us emotional satisfaction and shocking spirit.

In addition, the author also needs to have a reserve with historical knowledge and special professional knowledge to express the content of the strange fields to meet the hunger of the reader's "revealing", which is also one of the ways to achieve a good artistic effect.

Really walk into the hearts of the public

"Southern" magazine: How attracts red works and infects people?

Zhou Xili: Literature and art have always been a manifestation of the people's revolutionary trend. In my reading and acceptance experience, writing the "Three Lanes" of the Revolution, reflecting the "Flash Red Star" of the Second Domestic Revolutionary War, and "Spring and Autumn" of the Anti -Japanese War, Liberation War, and Land Reform "Lin Haixueyuan", "Bitter Caulus", "Defending Yan'an", "Red Rock", etc., they all left a deep memory for me. These red works are the memories of wake -up at any time, and they have been deeply embedded in our blood. In recent years, the creation of red theme has attracted many artists to invest, and the history of the party and the new China has become a huge rich mine for literary and artistic creation. Whether the current red works can become a classic, this requires the test of audience and time. It is the most basic factor if it can resonate with readers and audiences to resonate with empathy. At the moment of rich information and a variety of aesthetic aesthetics, this is the most basic and difficult. Zhang Jinqiong: Belief and cultural self -confidence is the underlying logic of red literature and art. The creator should choose the red theme to create spontaneous and autonomously, instead of creating a certain utilitarian purpose. The creator should first let this subject move himself, substitute for some emotion, and then filter the emotions to deepen and aestheticallyize it. How can a work that even the creator can't move itself to impress the audience? Only in this way, the work he presented was a deep narrative or expression in order to truly enter the heart of the public.

Chen Xi: The red classic works have created many heroes, describing the revolutionary image of great righteousness and bravery. In "Lin Haixueyuan", the most memorable is the images of Yang Zirong and Bai Ru. Yang Zirong is not handsome in appearance. His hair is long and romant, characteristic of simplicity and humor. In the battle, he is smart and brave in the battle. The beauty, optimism and simplicity of the female warrior Bai Ru. She nicknamed "Little White Pigeon", "Face Gills Crimson, Like a rose petal", "Where she goes, where is she laughing and laughing." When Bai Ru was rescued when the soldiers were injured, they rubbed their frozen feet with snow instead of using hot water. This detail has made readers growing in the southern country, and the readers who have never seen snowflakes are very surprised and admired. This is the influence and appeal brought by the reader's heart.

Eternal condensing the power of people's hearts

"Southern" magazine: Why do we need red theme creation? How to understand its significance to the present?

Chen Xi: Guangdong is the source of the modern revolution in China. Lingnan red resources are Chan Ruosuo, and the "rich mine" containing red stories. A group of outstanding red classics appeared in Guangdong, Ouyang Shan's "Three Lanes", Chen Can Yun's "Fragrant Four Seasons", Huang Gu Liu's "Shrimp Ball", and Liang Xin's "Red Lady Army", etc., which have a high level. The value of literature has an important position in the history of Chinese revolutionary literature. In 2021, the party was established for a century and ushered in a climax of red literature creation. The Guangdong Provincial Writers Association planned and created 155 works of party history themes around the theme of the Red Revolution. The red classic inherits the red cultural genes, promotes revolutionary ideals and many excellent qualities, and affects the pursuit of the ideas and value of the generation.

Zhang Jinqiong: Why do we need to create red theme is actually a aesthetic level. The article is together, and the song and poetry are together. What kind of works need in this era? First, I think it should not be the current political illustration of a certain era. It should be an impulse and creation that can trigger human emotions with common emotions. Second, it must be processed at the artistic level. The true appearance of life may be very touching, but once it is presented on the stage, it is very "cold". This is because the creator is just "copying" life and does not perform artistic treatment. Therefore, what the audience sees only an event narrative Or symbolic characters, it has no flesh, no fireworks, and lacks a characteristics of humanity.

Zhou Xili: The red theme works need to be infected with people, moved people and gain strong vitality, and become a classic. It may not be a grand narrative, but it must be able to shock it; Highlights of emotions and human nature; not necessarily all -round, but must have a heavy historical and cultural internal and cultural implications. Time continues to turn reality into history and memory. What we always need to stimulate people's hearts and mental appeal. When the small characters in history, such as Zeng Xisheng, Cao Xiangren, and Zou Bizhao, they are authenticly engraved, and they have become heroes that are hard to erase in our hearts; these images that exist for faith, struggle, and sacrifice There is an eternal power that condenses people's hearts.
