The light is magical:

——It can widen the narrow area of the scene;

——It can also transform the surging Ocean on a canvas, or the field where a snowstorm is coming.

Lighting, it combines the modeling, decoration, live actors and false scenery on the stage, mountains, rocks and flowers, architecture and painting to make them a unified whole. Make rough and false devices and props into masterpieces of art. With the progress of science and technology and the development of drama art, the aesthetic concept is constantly changing. In the face of modern studio and theater, the settings we use are changing more and more, more and more complex, and the requirements for lighting are higher and higher. This produces more "light language". For example, the large-scale opera Turandot directed by Zhang Yimou, which is being performed at the bird's nest in Beijing at the end of March, has more than 1000 actors and an audience of more than 20000 people. That kind of magnificent scene is rare in China and even the world, which makes the stage "lighting language" incisively and vividly and has infinite charm.

1、 Light is the soul of the picture

What is the focus of film and television creation? Of course, it is "light", because among the many factors of camera and photographic modeling elements, "light" is ultimately the soul of the picture image. Moreover, the use of artificial light (lighting) is the top priority and the soul of the soul.

In light processing, there are only three links: selection, processing and processing. There are many links in the processing (application) of artificial light (lighting), such as selection, design, simulation, processing, adjustment, modification, processing and so on. Most of our work is indoors (studio or studio), and the lights we use are artificial light. Therefore, we believe that a creative mentality and principle is that it is difficult to use natural light in shooting, and it is more difficult to use artificial light (lighting). The breakthrough level of this difficulty lies in how to solve the problems such as the type, intensity, height, range, light and shade, area, direction, contrast, form, proportion, texture, color, position, tone, atmosphere, style and so on. Light feeling is the sum of the feeling, degree and effect of visual physiology and visual psychology on light. Not everyone will have visual feeling and psychological resonance with plastic arts. The degree of light feeling comes from people's taste of light modeling and modeling elements and their understanding of image thinking construction. Whether from the perspective of architecture or photography, for lighting designers and photographers, light and light feeling are an indisputable subjective feeling.

What kind of light the lighting engineer uses in program creation, how large the range and brightness are controlled, what kind of atmosphere is formed, and what kind of visual style is created entirely by feeling. The impression, judgment and expression of the lighting engineer on the visual world depend on his perceptual knowledge and rational analysis; It depends on his feeling and interest in light; It also depends on his analysis of the overall program and his understanding of the director's creative intention.

2、 Scientific lighting art

Modern science and art are working together to create modern art. As Nobel laureate and Chinese American professor Li Zhengdao said, "science and art are like two sides of a coin, and no one can leave anyone." In other words, the modernization of dance lighting makes full use of modern high technology. There are many successful examples in this regard; The widely used computer set design, projection technology, computer lights, laser lights, strobe lights, dry ice clouds, computer mixer and other stage art technologies of sound, light, chemistry and electricity are all products of high technology. The advanced technology and aesthetic function of modern lighting, whether in theory or in practice, will be of great benefit to the modernization of dance beauty and even the modernization of the whole stage art.

3、 Give life and emotion

Modern stage lighting breaks the single pattern of "lighting" of stage lighting in the past, and also breaks through the traditional mode of "displaying the environment, rendering the atmosphere, highlighting the central figure, creating a sense of space and time, shaping the external image of stage performance, and providing necessary lighting effects, such as wind, rain, cloud, water, lightning, etc, It liberates the light from the state of passively "serving" the stage art, and becomes a new army of actively "creating" the stage art. It shows its vitality with the momentum of sudden emergence, and its artistic vitality with the power of dynamic, changeable, wonderful and magical.

However, modern stage lighting has changed from "dead" lighting to "live" lighting. It can "breathe" (complex and changeable) and "move" (dynamic effect). Although it can't be touched, it can see its colorful and infinite changes, and feel the pulse of this vibrant spiritual light beating at any time. The leader of modern lighting is computer light, that is, the light designed, manufactured and controlled by computer technology. The computer light has achieved free transformation space in terms of luminosity, light shape, light level, light angle and light, and even can reach the degree of freedom, which has injected fresh blood and essence into the stage light and made it obtain a new artistic life. Another close partner of computer lamp is laser beam. Laser beam is the beam emitted by laser. It has three characteristics: 1. Extremely strong brightness, which is 1 billion times the brightness of the sun; 2. Good monochromaticity; 3. Good directivity, and the divergence angle of the beam reaches milliradians.

The laser beam and the computer lamp complement each other. The stage lights combined with the two give people a bright, wonderful and magical feeling, so as to give the lights life. It is not enough for lights to have only life. Modern lights with computer lights and laser beams as the main body can also inject emotional factors into lights through various changes such as light color, light shape, luminosity and light combination, so as to add artistic charm.

With the development of human culture, color has gradually formed different modern color concepts, including emotional color concept, aesthetic color concept, decorative color concept, excessive color concept and so on. For example, we often see singers song Zuying and Zu Hai on TV. In MTV, the dance beauty colors displayed are more bright, jumping and colorful. Our concept of emotional color plays an important role in modern color concept. The modern stage lighting represented by computer lights and laser beams integrates the concept of emotional color and aesthetic color into one furnace, so that emotion and aesthetic feeling complement each other, which has become a modern way of color application of stage lighting, and also marks that stage lighting has entered a new historical stage. Let our lighting division use "lighting language" to create and tell the picturesque and magnificent artistic life.
