Yani and the Musical Covenant of Hexi Corridor

Hexi Corridor is located in Gansu province, spanning five cities: Zhangye, Wuwei, Jinchang, Jiayuguan and Jiuquan. Belonging to the eastern section of the ancient Silk Road, it is rich in historical relics, including Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, Jiayuguan Ancient City, Yumenguan Ruins, Yangguan Ruins, Yulin Grottoes, Dongqianfo Cave, Suoyangcheng Ruins, Camel City Ruins, Tietishan Grottoes, Horseshoe Grottoes, Jinta Temple Grottoes and Hecang Ancient City.

Hexi Corridor has been an important part of Chinese civilization since ancient times, and it is an important area where Chinese civilization collides, contacts and blends with foreign civilizations. The Han nationality and ethnic minorities interacted and blended with each other here, and finally formed a splendid Chinese civilization. Up to today, Hexi Corridor still has a far-reaching impact on the development and security of the country in terms of resources, transportation, ecological environment protection and national strategy. This time, Mr. Yani will use music to interpret the collision and blending of this civilization. History and today, East and West, Classical and Modern complement each other.

But so far, there has not been a documentary film with the theme of "Hexi Corridor". In 20 10, the production team of Beijing Bojing Documentary began to focus on the excellent theme of this documentary that crossed 1000 km and ran through 2000. After two years of preparation, it was officially launched in May 20 12.

The film was jointly produced by the Propaganda Department of Gansu Provincial Party Committee, the Science and Education Channel of CCTV, and the five cities in Hexi, and shot by Beijing Bojing Culture Communication Co., Ltd., with a total duration of 12 episodes, with 54 minutes each episode, including messenger, channel, post station, root vein, statue, Silk Road, Dunhuang and Meng Hui. The two episodes of "Tribute to Hexi Corridor" will be broadcast once a day in CCTV's "Charm Record" column. At the same time, a number of European documentary broadcasters have also expressed strong interest in the film, and plan to make another three-hour overseas version to broadcast at the same time. It is expected to be produced and broadcast on CCTV at the end of 20 14.

This time, Beijing Bojing Culture Communication Co., Ltd., Beijing Xitang Culture Communication Co., Ltd. and Beijing Tianxing Video Media Culture Co., Ltd. successfully invited Mr. Yani to create music for the documentary Hexi Corridor. The audience will not only hear Yani's new creation in this documentary, but also hope to enjoy this exclusive track integrated with the magnificent background pictures of glaciers, deserts, oases and Gobi in Hexi Corridor in her future new world tour.

The theme of the film is "Hexi Corridor is related to the national economy", and the Hexi Corridor, an important passage in western China and the main trunk road of the Silk Road, is the narrative object. From the angles of politics, military, economy, culture and religion, this paper presents the historical and cultural changes of western China, which is linked by Hexi Corridor, from the Han Dynasty to the present, and highlights the unique role and important influence of Hexi Corridor in the historical process of China.

It is reported that the documentary "Hexi Corridor", as a landmark project in the construction of Chinese civilization inheritance and innovation zone, has been included in the top ten literary and artistic creation projects in our province; At the same time, the film was also recognized as the key project of CCTV in 20 14, and was listed as the key topic of Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China's historical and humanistic documentary in 20 14.

It is worth mentioning that the producers specially invited Brian McDairmant, a British photographer who won the Emmy Award for Best Photography, as the photography director, and Yani, an internationally renowned musician, made music creation. The joining of these top international professionals will play a positive role in promoting the global promotion of films.
