Chapter 512: Greater Good News
In the Huairou National Huaying Digital Production Base in Beijing, the opening ceremony of the 2nd Beijing International Culture and Art Festival is underway.
Last year's first edition got off to a good start, and this year's edition has greatly improved both the size of the venue and the number of participating countries and people.
Like last year, the festival is divided into three sections: Film, Literature and Music.
Art practitioners from all over the world can sign up to participate, as long as the works created during the last art festival so far can participate in the competition, and the judges of each section are experts from the leading organizations of the corresponding industries in China.
Of the three sections, the film section is the most eye-catching, which is normal, and among the existing art forms, the film is also the most popular because it is the youngest, the freshest, and has more potential to be tapped.
Last year, there were only more than 170 domestic and foreign films participating in the competition, and this year it has skyrocketed to more than 300.
For the next seven days, the films will be shown in the exhibition hall at the festival.
Visitors to the festival can vote on these films, but only for the most popular awards, which are already in place a month before the festival.
Cao Wu and a few people are judges in the music section, and they haven't done anything else in the past few days, so they patronized the meeting.
There are also a lot of albums and singles participating in the selection this year, the music is not like a movie, a movie takes dozens of minutes to say the least, and the selection is also selected from hundreds of movies.
But the number of albums is too much, a song is three or five minutes, an album is an hour, and different styles have to be selected together, and it takes a lot more time to choose good products from thousands of albums than watching movies.
But fortunately, there are many judges in the music section, and each has its own division of labor, and Black Hole only needs to be responsible for the albums of the rock and metal sections.
The literature section is the most relaxed, and the main items of literature are still, but the length of writing is often measured in years, and not many works have been published in a year.
Moreover, because of the differences between Eastern and Western cultures, many Westerners do not send their own works to participate in the selection, and the works in the literature section are mainly based on literary works from Asia.
At the opening ceremony, Black Hole came to the stage and sang a song, which was the requirement above.
As far as the black hole itself is concerned, Cao Wu and the others still want to give the opportunity to the younger generations.
And because they entered the second half of the tour, Cao Wu and they were already quite tired, and they were a little worried when it came to going on stage.
However, the above still attaches great importance to the cultural festival, and they want the black hole to come to power by name, and it is not easy for them to refuse.
After all, this cultural festival is still jointly proposed by Black Hole, and it is also appropriate to sing a song on stage.
What's more, this cultural festival is still very important for black holes.
After the opening ceremony, Cao Wu and the others were a lot more relaxed, because the heavy screening work had already been done in the early stage, and what they had to do now was to select the shortlisted works and select the final winner.
It's a pity that Black Hole's "Middle Age" this year did not enter the final competition unit, this year India and Kazakhstan each have a strange flower, the two big singers are condensing the godhead, and two very wonderful albums have been released, the light covers up all other competitors, this "Middle Age" is still slightly inferior.
However, in the award for the best rock band, Black Hole still has a chance.
In the following days, Cao Wu and the others soaked in the cultural festival site, watching movies, listening to lectures, and meeting fans, and they were relaxed.
Starting the next day, Cao Wu brought Qingqing to the scene and led her to visit the animation unit, where there were more children.
Since starting the concert tour, Cao Wu can clearly feel the change in Qingqing every time he sees her, but this time he came back and felt particularly obvious.
Qingqing is half a head taller than the last time Cao Wu saw her, Cao Wu used to hold her, she was at the level of Cao Wu, and now she can look down.
Qingqing came here this time and met a lot of uncles and grandfathers, all of whom were Cao Wu's friends over the years.
For this cultural festival, in the more than two years that they were at home, Cao Wu and the others did not follow to those departments and units, and the leaders of the General Administration of Optoelectronics, the Writers' Association, the Music Association, the Jingcheng Municipal Government and other units have all known each other.
After the cultural festival was held, these units also became one of the organizers and became their own people.
Batu and Qingsong were not with Cao Wu and them, and the director of one of the films in Mongolia this year's competition knew Batu, and he had approached Batu and wanted him to help run it.
Batu was embarrassed to refuse, so he took him to chat with the domestic directors who participated in the competition, and he could also chat with the members of the jury.
And Qing Song was nominated for Best New Director because of his debut film "Concrete Forest" as a director, and he is busy with related things.
Because of the time, this movie just didn't catch up with the first cultural festival, so it was moved to this year's cultural festival, but I didn't expect it to break into the main competition unit.
However, several of the nominated new directors this year are very strong, and Aomatsu has a high probability of being an accompaniment, but this is already a great encouragement for him.
In order to help him strengthen his momentum, the song that Black Hole sang at the opening ceremony chose the theme song of the movie "Mediocre", with obvious intentions.
After seven days of busy work, the closing ceremony and award ceremony of the cultural festival kicked off here.
Literary awards were the first to be announced, but several heavyweight awards were taken away by foreign writers, but among the awards for young writers, Chinese faces are still the majority.
The film awards followed, because there were many sections and rich awards, and there were no interspersed performances in the middle, but the VCR was arranged before the awards were announced, and the process was very compact.
The music awards are the highlight, and they are announced at the end, and there are the most awards in this section, and HIA has programs to watch.
This year's best male singer can be described as a fairy fight, India's arijit and Kazakhstan's Dima Shi sang with great success, and finally Dima Shi beat arijit and won the best male singer award.
Many viewers and even judges felt sorry for Arijit, he was also a very powerful singer, but unfortunately, he met Dima Stone, which was an inhuman existence.
The award for Best Female Singer was won by North Korea's powerful singers, and the Best Rock Band still fell into the bag of a black hole after fierce competition.
But Black Hole's fans didn't feel much more happy because there was an even bigger piece of good news that took all their minds and made them ecstatic.
At the ceremony, the Music Association announced the list of people who will be inducted into the Chinese Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year, and the Black Hole Band is among them!
