1 Li Zhenya is still immersed in his videogra?phy teams success. The variety show, GloryIs Back, tells charming tales about thecultural artifacts found in Dunhuang, a cityin Gansu Province renowned as the locationof the Mogao Grottoes, a UNESCO WorldHeritage site. Since its release, the varietyshow has received overwhelmingly positive feedback from the public.
2 Li's cinematic journey began in 2015, when he and his friends formed a creative video?graphy team in Changsha, Hunan Province. As the team's director, Li has a deep in?terest in bridging the gap between museums and young people. He believes that al?though some youths are interested in cultural heritage, they feel overwhelmed by thedepth of knowledge required to truly appreciate the exhibits in museums and culturalcenters“. Our team hopes to use our skills to encourage more young people to enjoymuseums, and transcend the barriers of time and space,” Li said.
3 The first challenge the team faced was determining how to present cultural heritage inan innovative fashion. Immersing themselves in a sea of cultural and historical informa?tion, they read widely to learn as much as possible. It didn't take long for them torealize that the disconnection between Changsha and Dunhuang extended beyondphysical distance. A couple of team members resigned due to the difficulty of adaptingthe sheer quantity of information on cultural artifacts and museology in Dunhuang intoa TV show.
4 During sleepless nights, Li found solace (安慰) in memories of the“ cultural guardians”he met during a field trip to the Dunhuang Academy.“ For documentaries, they are thebest guides one could ask for,” Li said.
5 With the support of a group of professionals from diverse disciplines and specialties,the team swiftly developed their creative concept. Using computer graphics, animation(動(dòng)畫) and other storytelling methods, they skillfully recreated scenes of ancient life,incorporating music, food, sports and other aspects of ancient life found in literature.
6 “After watching Glory Is Back, it felt like I had traveled back in time and encounteredthe ancients,” said Lin Yin, a fan of the show.
