At the same time, there is also the powerful actor Qin Hailu transformed into a female hero, showing off the magnificent battlefield in the late Qin and early Han dynasties, and fighting for the dream of a female hero.
Sarah Brightman sang "Scarborough" to interpret the love of the world
In this episode, "The City of Fantasy" will usher in world-class singers and musical actors, and "Moonlight Goddess" Sarah Brightman, who has starred in two of the four major operas, "Cat" and "Phantom of the Opera". She was well-known to Chinese audiences at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and the song "Scarborough" is even more famous. Its unique pure and transparent tone lingers, and its ability to express itself like a church goddess chanting, makes people sigh that there is a sound like a heavenly sound in this world.
This time, Sarah Brightman will partner with director Robert Vicencio to bring the familiar and favorite "Scarborough" to Chinese audiences. It is understood that this song, originally an ancient British folk song, originated from the distant medieval times, was adapted and given more novelty. This time, Sarah Brightman will also restore the love story told in "Scarborough" and bring about a love that was in the Middle Ages in Europe. In order to restore the unique style of the medieval era as much as possible and make the audience feel like they are in the mysterious atmosphere of the British castle, director Robert Vicencio not only prepared 400 candles as arrangements, but also added paintings by the famous British portrait painter and landscape painter in the 18th century, Thomas Gainsborough, which made the heroine Sarah Blymann sigh "amazing". As a world-class musical actor, Sarah Brightman is used to not meeting the audience before the performance, but instead brewing emotions for the next challenge alone. Stay tuned for what kind of surprises she will bring!
Qin Hailu transformed into a female hero, showing her chivalrous style
She is from Daoma Dan and studied in Peking Opera for 8 years. She has also served as a judge at the Golden Horse Awards, and has won numerous awards since her debut. She is Qin Hailu, the last singer of this episode. This time, Qin Hailu came to "The City of Fantasy" and wanted to realize her dream of a chivalrous woman.
At the beginning of the creation, Qin Hailu expressed her yearning for homesickness and fighting on the battlefield. Director Li Xiaoyu also discovered Qin Hailu's heroic temperament in communication, so she tailored a story with the era background of the late Qin and early Han dynasties and heroes appearing in troubled times. From the official stills, we can see that Qin Hailu was wearing red clothes and her sword energy soared into the sky. The words "If you offend me, you can punish me and kill all people" fully demonstrate the style of a chivalrous woman punishing evil and killing the enemy.
In order to better show the courage to fight on the battlefield, director Li Xiaoyu added the background of wind and sand desert to the scene design and moved a "horse" to the fantasy space. Although the horse galloping on the battlefield is beneficial to bringing the audience into the story, it also adds great difficulty to Qin Hailu's singing performance. Without hearing rebirth, she must try her best to balance the horse's sway and the rhythm of the music, and during the performance, Qin Hailu must always maintain a half-squat posture to show a galloping state, which also consumes a lot of physical strength. And can she overcome all kinds of challenges? Stay tuned for Hunan TV's "Fantasy City" at 20:00 this Friday night!
