In the cold winter morning.

There's nothing more comfortable than being woken up by a steaming bowl of lamb noodle soup.

If there is.

Then two bowls!

The sunrise in December is very late in Mingsha Mountain.

After Gu Cheng and the others had breakfast, they waited until nine o'clock before they saw the sun shyly rising from the horizon.

The sun slowly soaked the clouds on the horizon, the warm morning light sprinkled the sand dunes, and the desolation of the desert was vividly displayed at this moment.

The sand dunes without footprints are very meaningful and perfect for portrait shooting.

Gu Cheng held the camera and gave Su Qi another wave of shots.

After the end of the shooting.

Everyone rushed to Mogao Grottoes non-stop.

If Dunhuang is a temple of miraculous art, then the Mogao Grottoes are an art museum in the desert.

Mogao Grottoes is located on the cliff wall of the eastern foot of Mingsha Mountain, five layers up and down, about 1600 meters long from north to south, through the excavation of more than ten dynasties from the Sixteen Kingdoms to the Yuan Dynasty, forming a large-scale grotto group.

Dunhuang has nearly 50,000 square meters of murals in the past dynasties, and is the grotto group with the most murals in China and even in the world.

Because it has extremely high historical and cultural value.

The Mogao Grottoes of China, Mount Tai, and Venice of Italy ~ Italy are the only three heritage sites in the world that meet all six cultural heritage standards of the World Heritage Site.

What flattered Gu Cheng was.

Wu Qingfeng, the dean of the Dunhuang Research Institute, actually received them in person.

With gray hair, a pair of black-framed glasses, and simple work clothes, Wu Qingfeng's whole person looks unofficial, and he is very down-to-earth.

"Welcome to come and shoot the Mogao Grottoes, I am Wu Qingfeng, the president of the Dunhuang Art Academy!"

The moment he shook hands, Gu Cheng clearly felt the calluses on the other party's hands.

It's a pair of craftsman's hands!

Gu Cheng was in awe.

"Hello Dean Wu, I'm Gu Cheng!"

"I'm Su Qi! I'm tired of Dean Wu! ”

"It should."

Wu Qingfeng nodded, "I know that you have come from afar this time to promote and popularize Dunhuang culture. ”

"However, I still scandalized that all the caves are fragile cultural relics, especially some special caves, so there are strict shooting requirements inside."

"I hope everyone can strictly abide by the terms of shooting, and don't damage the cultural relics, otherwise Wu will not be able to explain to his superiors!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Dean Wu is right! ”

Zhong Qi nodded in agreement.

"In fact, I have trained them in advance for these shooting matters.........

Seeing the two smiling and greeting, Gu Cheng's heart was like a mirror.

The reason why Wu Qingfeng received them in person was not so much because he valued the program group, but because he valued these murals.

The Mogao Grottoes are located in a harsh and arid desert environment, with serious wind erosion and sand and dust hazards, and the murals in the caves have been deteriorating rapidly.

If you take photos and visit in a certain period of time, the temperature and humidity in the cave will rise rapidly, and the carbon dioxide content will increase sharply, which will pose a serious threat to the protection of the cave murals and painted sculptures.

If it weren't for the official banner.

Gu Cheng, let alone filming here, I'm afraid they don't even have the qualifications to enter the special cave to visit.

He cleared his throat and spoke straight to the promise.

"Dean Wu, don't worry, we will reduce the number of people entering the building, and we will also speed up the filming progress to reduce the damage to cultural relics as much as possible!"

Wu Qingfeng nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay! Then you arrange for someone to come in with me, and I will take you into the cave to visit! ”

Under the leadership of Wu Qingfeng.

Everyone walked into the southern area of the Mogao Grottoes.

One enters the cave.

Gu Cheng felt as if he had entered an ancient gallery.

Buddha statues, music, fairies......

Almost every cave wall and cave roof has exquisite portraits, and everywhere is full of rich artistic atmosphere.

Dunhuang is an important town in the west of the Han Dynasty, and it is also the junction point of the north and south roads of Chinese and Western transportation and trade, so it has become the hub of the intersection of Eastern and Western civilizations.

It is not only the initial foothold for monks, envoys and merchants from the east to enter the Central Plains, but also the place where monks, envoys and merchants from the west bid farewell to their homeland.

Buddhism was introduced to Middle-earth from the Silk Road and flourished with the development of the Silk Road.

The monks who came to the east to promote the Tao and the west to seek the Dharma enabled Dunhuang to continuously absorb the nutrition of the Western Regions and the Indian ~ Buddha ~ religion culture.

In this context, Buddhism and cave art in Dunhuang developed to its heyday.

The mural brushes away the thousand-year-old sand and soil, outlining the historical background of China for thousands of years between the broken walls and walls.

All kinds of Buddhist scripture stories, mountain and river scenes, pavilions and pavilions and other architectural paintings, landscape paintings, floral patterns, flying Buddha statues and various scenes of production by the working people at that time are the artistic reproduction of the folk customs and historical changes of more than 1,500 years from the Sixteen Kingdoms to the Qing Dynasty, which is majestic and magnificent.

Red blazing, brown magnolia, black dignified, white ethereal......

The painters of Dunhuang use various colors to play the gorgeous Sanskrit sound of the Buddhist world, and also verify and fill the gap in the history of Chinese art.

"Are you ready?"

"Ready!"

"Sister Tang, be in place!"

Gu Cheng mainly photographed the flying mural this time.

Because of the different dynasties and craftsmen, the murals in the Mogao Grottoes also have their own characteristics.

Some of the murals are strong in color and exotic, and some have been completely sinicized and have flexible lines.

Some of the murals have long since faded in color, but between the mottled and broken lines, they still release a shocking beauty that shocks the world.

Meet the right cave.

What Gu Cheng has to do is to move the entire wall painting into the lens.

At this time, Tang Lingyan will pose, the same shape as in the mural, stepping on the dance and a shocking song.

Tang Lingyan not only reproduces the mural in dance, but even the dance costume is a replica of the flying costume on the mural, which is light and naked.

Today's temperature is actually much cooler than yesterday.

But her dance movements are not stiff and trembling, silky and smooth.

The eyebrows are tactful and the expression is calm.

Tang Lingyan rose into the air in the hazy light, then raised her hands, raised her eyebrows, and danced.

The dancing posture.

In an instant, the flying fairy on the mural jumped to life!

Everyone seems to be able to see the fairy, breaking out of the wall and flying up from the mural, guarding Dunhuang in the long river of history, inheriting thousands of years of Chinese history.

Gu Anran was stunned fiercely, and unconsciously held his breath.

"Sister Tang's flying dance, she dances so beautifully! It's as beautiful as a fairy! ”

"Sister Tang is the country's chief dancer, and her dancing level is naturally self-evident!"

Su Qi has seen a lot of ancient style dances, but most of them are just "ancient styles", which look like gods.

This flying dance, whether it is the selection of songs, the background or the costumes, is extremely good.

But Gu Cheng was still a little dissatisfied.

"Hurry up and put Hibiscus, and the virtual step is too clear. The neon clothes drag the wide belt, floating and ascending to the sky! ”

"Sister Tang, you performed very well, but if you interpret the poetry and painting more vividly, I think the final effect will be more amazing!"

"I see! Let's do it again......"

This flying dance.

It was Gu Cheng's first time testing the waters in a variety show.

So he is very serious about every detail.

Not to mention the 40-second MV blockbuster effect of Yixing's "Flying Sky".

But the final screen must not collapse!

Therefore, the prototype of the entire Flying Dance is borrowed from the murals in the cave, such as the rebound pipa Lotte in Cave 112 and the girdle drum Lotte in Cave 172.

In the later period, Gu Cheng also planned to use real people and later computer technology to restore some of the amazing scenes in the flying murals, so as to stimulate the audience's resonance and sense of substitution for Dunhuang culture.

Feelings and history, art and life, can always stir up the suffocating resonance in people's hearts!

The audience was deeply shocked by the art in front of them!

It's precious at first glance!

But no one dared to waste time.

Everyone tacitly used the fastest speed to keep these brilliant arts in the lens.
