[Explanation] On November 25, the results of the 13th Chinese Dance "Lotus Award" folk dance selection were announced, and the original Mongolian dance work "Romantic Prairie" won the award.
On November 26, the reporter walked into the Hohhot National Performing Arts Group and met the actors who were rehearsing.
[Explanation] The dance "Romantic Grassland" takes the daily life of Mongolian young men and women under blue sky, white clouds and clear water as the main line, and presents the work and life scenes of farmers and herdsmen in the new era in the form of dance.
Combined with the traditional dance music arrangement form, it conveys the characteristics of Mongolian dance that advances with time and develops in inheritance.
[Explanation] It is understood that "Romantic Prairie" has strict requirements on the emotional expression of actors and the detailed arrangement.
In order to "reach the standard", the older actor in the team, Aorigele, often allows himself to practice more, and he always ponders the dance moves in his life. Sometimes he can't help but dance when he suddenly thinks of the moves, which dazzles the people around him.

It may be too late after work when I go back. After I go back, I am in the community. This may be an occupational disease. In the community, I suddenly thought of that section. I want to have a section.
Occasionally, when I go home, my wife tells me, are you okay? Suddenly I was shocked, which section was not handled properly. I may have more than one paragraph, maybe ten paragraphs or eight paragraphs. I have to deal with this thing until I am satisfied. .
I feel that if I explain it clearly to myself, I also explain it clearly to the audience.
[Explanation] Feng Shuangbai, chairman of the Chinese Dancers Association, said in a comment that the creation of "Romantic Prairie" broke the original folk dance choreography and the fixed pattern of Mongolian dance and took a unique step.
Ager, the choreographer of the dance, introduced that the arrangement of this time innovatively added the form of the film lens, and the rapid transition of the fast and slow scenes also made the viewer's eyes bright.
In addition, in order to better interpret the life scenes of the grassland people, a 17-meter-long haystack was added to the stage design. However, for dancers, dancing in the space restricted by this "behemoth" has also become a challenge.

Our 7 minutes of dancing, in fact, the entire 6 minutes are actually limited to this operating haystack. For dancing, it is actually easier to spread the jump, but it is more difficult to confine it to a space.
[Explanation] It is worth mentioning that the "post-90s" Ager is both the choreographer and actor of the dance, and this is the second time his choreography has won the "Lotus Award".

That's actually quite happy, but on the other hand, it's still stressful.
At the beginning, when "Grandpas" won the (Lotus Award), I might think it was particularly powerful. In fact, it is not now. Now I have calmed down and explored many things. After being recognized, my self-confidence may be better than before. One point, to create more boldly, can you find a style that belongs to your own as much as possible, and then create it, I think it should be a work with feelings.
