Only by embracing life can we stay alive forever ("Cloud" Literature and Art · How to continue to work hard ③)
There is no gorgeous stage, only a simple home scene. The crosstalk actors debug their mobile phones while shaking their burdens. This is the "cloud recording" of the variety show "Happy Comedian". According to the time agreed online, ordinary people in Tiannan, Haibei took up their mobile phones, recorded and uploaded their daily routine of anti-epidemic. This is the "cloud record" of the documentary "One Day of the Rest of Life" ... "Cloud Creation" is art and technology Deep integration, break the traditional boundaries of creation and acceptance, and reconstruct the process of creation, dissemination and evaluation of literary and artistic works.
How does literary and artistic creation express life and refine life? How will the future offline arts work? Although the spread is in the cloud, "cloud creation" is always close to the back of life, and the timeliness and vitality of the work have been more directly revealed.
From the development of literature and art, we can see that no matter how the media iterates and upgrades, no matter how fast the technology changes, the performance object of the literary and artistic works or the "protagonist" of the literary and artistic works is always life. What ultimately impresses people and can be passed down is the rich and heavy historical practice of human beings, and the growth of human spirit and soul. The same is true of the literature and art of our time. Expanding the breadth of viewing reality, fully expressing the temperature of life, and recording the height of spirit are the keys to maintaining the vitality of literature and art works.
Finding the angle from which the narrative cuts in, touching people with emotions, and seeing big things with small ones is an important starting point. During the epidemic, Vlog (video diary) became one of the main ways of "cloud creation". These "cloud" stories mostly record details of life, conveying the true feelings of ordinary people. In the middle of the night when the snow is flying, an ordinary duty officer sticks to the community card point; a hospital at two o'clock in the night, a "post-95" nurse writes "pretty loyalty to the country" in protective clothing; in a quiet and orderly city, the courier who insists on work Brothers and volunteers kept on running ... These faces covered by masks gradually became clear. They fulfilled their duties and dedication in ordinary positions, and bravely assumed their duties and ignited confidence and hope in the critical moments, creating extraordinary highlight moments. Under the big theme of anti-epidemic, the vivid and vivid characters have both individuality and commonality, connecting people closely with each other, people and society, empathizing because they are close, and resonating because they are real.
Being eclectic and not muddy, going deep into life and showing life in all directions has gradually become a creative consensus. The 24-hour "slow live broadcast" of the construction sites of Wuhan Vulcan Hill Hospital and Raytheon Hill Hospital is called the new documentary mode. The live-view overhead view screen attracted nearly 120 million netizens to punch a message in the comment area. "Wuhan Come on" echoed through the "cloud." The speed of China presented in the lens embodies the strength and confidence of the epidemic resistance. Off the screen of the live broadcast, the audience is not only the receiver of the content, but also the creator and communicator. Technical standards are no longer a barrier to creative creation. In the anti-epidemic documentary "Warm Meal" of "Co-sponsored by All People", the pictures that are not beautifully framed and the lenses with poor focus are all recorded and edited into films. The stories of the active life of Wuhan people have become the real concern focus. This "rough" texture has also become a part of the video narrative in the special period, showing the essence of life recorded in the "original ecology". In recent years, works such as the movie "I'm not the God of Medicine", the TV series "Chicken Feather Flying to the Sky", and the documentary "Four Springs" have also been written with different forms of images to build a three-dimensional and diverse life scene.
The process of accepting and disseminating literary and artistic works is a process of heart-to-heart communication. How to grasp the distance between creation and life often determines whether the story can touch people's hearts. Without details, the characters will be conceptualized; without refining, the story will become a running record. Accurately capture the tiny waves in the torrent of the times, and collide with the new ideas of creation in the surging excitement, so as to impress more ordinary audiences with the stories of ordinary people. The creation is not only a reflection of reality, but also an aesthetic creation and spiritual guidance derived from life and higher than life.
The writer Lu Yao once said that life always contains a broader meaning. Sometimes, it turns reality into a dream, and sometimes it turns dream into reality. We will still resonate with this phrase in the era of media integration. Yes, no superb technical skills can replace the real part of life, and no matter how shocking the visual spectacle is, it cannot touch the soul with real people, real things, and true feelings. Only by deeply embracing life can the work retain its fresh vitality forever.
