The day the fifth episode was recorded happened to be the day of the award ceremony of this year's MTV Video Music Awards.

Black Hole was nominated for "Everything?Will?Flow."

But because Cao Wu wanted to record the show, and Lele was also in school, he really didn't have time to participate.

However, Batu and Qingsong happened to be there, and they participated on behalf of the band.

This MV is also directed by Cologne, and in order to shoot this MV, he specially brought the team from the United States to China.

The filming location is in China.

At the time of the MV shooting, it happened to be the time when Black Hole had just finished the tour, and Cao Wu and the others were very busy, so they asked Colon to shoot some scenes first.

Cologne's understanding of this song is that under the rapid development of modern cities, people are carried by the torrent of the times, running blindly like headless flies. What Cao Wu wants to express is his disgust with the empty and empty life of the modern city and his pessimism about the future of mankind.

Therefore, he set the filming location in several metropolises in the coastal area, and spent a considerable time photographing the sky between the high-rise buildings, the dazzling night scenes, especially the urban viaducts and highways with Chinese characteristics.

He also photographed pedestrians in squares near several of the city's largest office buildings, using low-speed cameras to capture the sensation of time speeding up to highlight the accelerating pace of urban construction.

However, after the black hole was added to the filming, a different opinion was raised.

Cao Wu said that Cologne's interpretation was a bit too much, and if it was really so pessimistic, then the melody rhythm would not be so cheerful.

He told Coren that the perspective of the song is not from people, but from the world.

The emergence of modern civilization is only a few hundred years, and the history of human civilization is only hundreds of thousands of years.

That's why the chorus keeps repeating "everything will pass, everything will pass".

But the existence of human beings, the existence of life, is not meaningless.

Life is short, but we have lovers, we will leave laughter, although everything is passing, but to be able to have the process, it is lucky enough.

The rapid development of the modern city has weakened everyone's individuality, but in the occasional confusion and loss, it is still possible to see the hope ahead.

Russell once said that there is only one true heroism, and that is to love life after recognizing the truth of life.

When Cao Wu sings, he is concentrating on expressing his desire and expectation for the future, and the core of this song is also to give people hope in pessimism.

After figuring out the specific idea of the song, Koren readjusted the shooting idea.

This time, he chose to shoot in the countryside in the hinterland, and focused his lens on every real person.

This time, he chose to use high-speed lenses to record the footage, and Cao Wu and the others also cooperated to free up time, traveled to several provinces, and took pictures of several regions and natural landscapes.

The final product of the MV is more like a black hole leading the country to travel all over the country, showing the audience the real China.

On the evening of August 28, in Madison Square Garden in New York, this year's MTV Video Music Awards ceremony began.

Unlike the solemn Grammys.v Video Music Awards, the atmosphere was very joyful, there were no seats on the scene, and everyone stood no matter how big they were.

The opening performance was Rena, a famous female rapper in the United States, and after the cheerful and energetic dance music appeared, the scene immediately became high.

Batu, like Lu Qingsong and Cao Wu, didn't care much about this award.

Although the MTV Video Music Awards are one of the three major awards in the United States, like the Grammys, the Video Awards are more of an internal award than the Grammys' inclusion, especially after the VMA International Audience Choice Awards were discontinued.

The VMA International Audience Choice Award is an award set up by the Video Awards for the overseas music market of the United States, but singers from Asia are rarely shortlisted, and the Chinese region has never been shortlisted.

The main award of the video award is rarely awarded to singers outside the United States.

Black Hole won this nomination, and they were still a little inexplicable, and they didn't know what the organizing committee was crazy about.

Win the prize? No kidding.

Therefore, Batu and Lu Qingsong are completely here to play, standing in front of the stage and shaking happily.

Batu even has the kung fu to look at other singers.

"Hey!" he greeted the tall female singer behind him with his lips.

Lu Qingsong saw his movement and looked back, only to see a tall beauty with long legs laughing and dancing in the crowd.

That's Tyran, a country singer who has emerged in recent years, and this year she successfully transitioned with an album to the direction of pop and country rock, which is very popular with young girls.

The media in the United States once reported that she and Black Hole are the fastest rising singers and bands among young boys in the United States, and Tyran is the one among the girls who are rapidly gaining popularity.

Sensing Lu Qingsong's eyes, she turned her head, smiled generously, and tilted her head.

Nodding slightly, Lu Qingsong turned his head quietly, looked at Batu obliquely and asked, "Have you taken a fancy to her?"

"Am I that?" said Batu, who was dissatisfied, but then laughed and said, "Hey, hey!"

Glancing at him with disdain, Lu Qingsong muttered: "Superficial ......"

Tyran is a well-known "stamp collector", has a rich love life, basically changes boyfriends once a year, and all of them are prodigal sons in love, handsome and flowery.

Batu is like this, and a dozen of them are not enough for her to play.

"Cut! It's superficial to look at your face?" Batu rolled his eyes: "Then I'd rather be superficial, hehe!"

This year's video awards can be described as a fight between the gods, with nearly 20 nominations from the two popular divas, and the focus of public opinion tonight is entirely on the two of them.

The two of them alternately took the stage, and the audience was soft-handed in winning the award, and the audience's interest has shifted to the topic of who will win the most awards.

Soon, with the awards being announced, it was the turn of the Best Rock Video Award.

The names of the five bands appeared on the big screen.

"The winner of the Best Rock Video Award was...... Black Hole Band!"

"Huh?" Batu and Lu Qingsong were stunned together, they couldn't be wrong, right?

Really awarded to us?

The camera had already shifted over and pointed at them, and seeing this, the two did not panic, and went on stage amid the cheers of the audience.

After receiving the trophy, Batu took the microphone and said, "Thank you very much, to be honest, we didn't expect to win this award, but ...... Thank you to the jury and to all the fans who supported us......"

After so many years of mixing, Batu's words are also true.

They were indeed surprised to receive this award, but they were not very happy.

Since Cao Wu started to work on the International Arts Festival last year, everyone's mentality has changed.

In the past, they may have been happy to win an award, but now that they are also one of the rule-makers, it doesn't seem to matter so much whether they win the award or not.
