When the first draft script was placed on the desk of the commander of the Air Force Political Department, General Liu Yalou was keenly aware that this work was likely to bring a classic to the opera stage in new China.
Immediately, "Jiang Jie" was listed as the key repertoire of the Air Administration Opera Troupe. The task of composing music was assigned to Jin Sha, Yang Ming and Jiang Chunyang.
Among the three people, Jin Sha is a native of Sichuan, and has a solid foundation for the creation of Sichuan folk songs. The plot and the background of the characters are also in Sichuan, which is undoubtedly a big test for Jin Sha's musical skills.
Looking at the music of Jiang Jie after completion, it is full of Sichuan flavor, and it is conceivable that Jin Sha plays an important role in creation and contributes creative wisdom.
After the next task, in order to find inspiration, the composition team went deep into Jiang Jie's hometown to collect folk songs and learn from and explore the colorful forms of Sichuan local operas.
a year later, they produced the first draft of music. The result was unexpected-this creation was completely overthrown by the head, leaving no word!
unexpected bumps and blows almost made everyone collapse. After nearly a year's revision, the creative group systematically reviewed local operas and folk music such as Sichuan Opera, Wu Opera, Yue Opera, Hangzhou Opera, Shanghai Opera, Sichuan dulcimer, Qingyin, Hangzhou Beach Spring, and then combined with Jiang Jie's spirit of being fearless in times of crisis and his personality characteristics of being calm and soft outside.
Jin Sha and his collaborators finally succeeded in finding the soul of music that shaped Jiang Jie. The songs "Red Plum Praise" and "Embroidered Red Flag" in "Jiang Jie" are also widely sung by everyone.
