Chapter 462: Knott's Peace Prize Nominations
In the next four years, the "Looking for the Horizon" program team traveled to all corners of the world. They dare to go to all the places that ordinary people dare not go; they take the initiative to contact the classes that ordinary people do not want to come into contact with; and they not only dare to say what ordinary people dare not say, but also dare to sing loudly. As the popularity of "Looking for the Horizon" in China gradually increased, the show attracted global attention, and many national TV stations and video platforms chose to buy broadcast rights, making Friday's name resounding in all corners of the world.
No matter what country, no matter what social class, whether it is rich or poor, or even refugees, even if you have never heard Friday music, you must know that there is a rock band from China, which is not afraid of all the hardships in the world, and is trying to change the world with rock music.
More and more people have eliminated the prejudice against rock music through Friday, and more and more people realize that rock and roll is not only music, but also a spirit and a determination.
The world is already like this, it will only change with the course of the times, and it is difficult to change because of some people.
But even so, Liu Jingxin is still willing to insist. If you don't really want to rid the world of war, poverty, and disease, as long as this world can be a little different from the past because of its existence, it is enough!
It's not just a little different, because of Friday, more and more young people in every country are falling in love with rock music, and more and more young people are looking at Friday as their life goal.
A rock frenzy, carrying a heavy weight, has swept the world in just a few years. And Liu Jingxin and their own efforts have finally become the benchmark of a generation and the life they want to become.
Maybe even later, when people mention this era, they will also think of a band named Friday, who rushed into the abyss one after another under the threat of death in order to make the world a better place, and brought the stories in the abyss back to the world full of flowers, right?
Liu Jingxin once said that he wants to be the star in the sky that will always be bright, even if one day he is gone, there are still people who can remember his name.
Now, he's finally done it.
On Twitter, netizens around the world spontaneously launched a vote called "King of Contemporary Rock and Roll", which does not belong to any organization and is not a big honor, but with the rock frenzy that has swept the world again, this vote has more than 100 million followers.
After more than a month of fierce voting, Friday won the award by a large margin of votes, standing out from countless well-known bands.
Although this selection is not a major award, it can be seen from the results that Friday's influence covers various countries, and their ideals have been recognized by people from all over the world.
"You've been watching this voting result for an hour, why are you still watching it?" asked Zhang Xun puzzled.
Liu Jingxin smiled tired but satisfied: "This feels so good!"
"Don't look at it, it's time to board the plane. Zhang Xun urged.
"Okay!" Liu Jingxin said, and was about to put away his mobile phone, but suddenly felt the mobile phone vibrate, and then he saw an email prompt appear on the mobile phone screen.
Confused, he opened the email and found that it was all in English, followed by a very familiar-looking portrait and a long list of electronic signatures under the portrait. He glanced at it and was taken aback by the contents of the email. He was stunned, as if he was worried that he had read it wrong, and he read the email again, and then he was speechless in astonishment.
Zhang Xun noticed Liu Jingxin's strange appearance and hurriedly came over to ask.
Liu Jingxin still had an expression of disbelief, he pointed to the screen of his mobile phone and said, "We have won the award." ”
Zhang Xun said angrily: "Have we won fewer awards over the years?
Liu Jingxin said: "This one is not the same. ”
"It's different?" Jiang Li, Bao Yi and Da Yang, who were not far away, also came over.
"What's the difference?" Zhang Xun reached out and snatched Liu Jingxin's mobile phone, and after reading the content of the email, he was also stunned on the spot, opening his mouth wide and unable to speak.
Liu Jingxin calmed down a little, smiled stiffly at the three of them, and replied in a calm tone: "This time, it is the Knott's Peace Prize nomination." ”
The Knott's Prize is the world's most authoritative comprehensive award, mainly including chemistry, physics, physiology or medicine, literature, peace and other fields.
The award ceremony of each Nobel Prize will attract the attention of all mankind and is regarded as the greatest event of human civilization.
Each winner is a pearl in the history of human civilization.
Liu Jingxin received the invitation on behalf of Friday, which is enough to prove how much he has contributed to the cause of peace over the years. And he will also be another musician to receive this honor after Michael Jackson and U2 lead singer Bono.
"Are you going?" asked Zhang Xun.
Thinking about the presence of these unruly people in such a formal setting makes him feel restrained, and it makes him feel uncomfortable.
After Liu Jingxin hesitated for a moment, he nodded solemnly and said, "Go!"
Oslo, Northern Europe.
Liu Jingxin and his brothers came to the award ceremony of the Knott's Peace Prize, which is relatively independent and held in a different location from other awards, but the standard of the award ceremony is still very high.
There are countless cameras on the scene, and people who have made outstanding contributions to the cause of human peace, or who are shedding blood, tears and sweat from all over the world gathered here to witness this prosperous era on behalf of all mankind.
Liu Jingxin thought that he had seen the world, but when he arrived at the scene, he felt nervous when he saw the countless cameras and those well-known reporters from all over the world gathered.
This is an award that has nothing to do with music, and it will inevitably be the highest honor Liu Jingxin has received, which will doom Liu Jingxin's name to leave a strong mark in the history of human civilization.
In the golden hall, bigwigs from all over the world gathered in front of a podium and stepped forward one after another to make speeches before the awards.
Liu Jingxin was fortunate enough to meet the official representative of his country, a big man who can only be seen in news broadcasts and international news headlines, and he himself is more imposing and older than he looks in the photos.
The leader took the initiative to come over and say hello to Liu Jingxin, raised his hand and patted Liu Jingxin's shoulder like encouragement: "Good job!"
Liu Jingxin smiled stiffly, not knowing how to answer.
At this moment, someone called on the leader to speak as a representative of Asia.
"Out of company. The leader turned around and walked calmly to the stage, and after looking around with a smile, his eyes fell on Liu Jingxin.
The reporters around him were very keen, and they all pointed their cameras at Liu Jingxin.
"Honorable Highnesses the King and Queen, Your Highnesses, distinguished members of the Nobel Prize Committee. It is a great honour to stand here today to deliver a pre-award speech on behalf of Asia...... We can see that more and more young people are now willing to step out of the greenhouse and risk their lives to set foot in the most dangerous places in the world, and in the way they are best at, to make the greatest contribution to the cause of peace for mankind...... On my own behalf, I would like to express my highest respect to all the guests here today, and on behalf of those in Asia who have suffered as a result of war, terrorist attacks, disease and poverty, and to all the gentlemen and ladies who have been nominated this time......
