Chapter Eighty-Eight: Rock 'n' Roll Park

The Nandu Rock Festival is held in the Rock Park in Nandu. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

This is a huge park covering an area of about 1,200 hectares, which used to be a hilly wasteland in the eastern suburbs of Nandu, and later because it is wide enough, the first Nandu International Rock Festival was scheduled to be held in this place.

As a result, the Nandu International Rock Music Festival is becoming more and more prosperous, and gradually it has become the most well-known rock music festival in the world, and its influence is also increasing, giving Nandu another extremely heavy external business card.

Later, the Nandu municipal government began to spend huge sums of money to renovate this hilly wasteland, which is about four kilometers long and about three kilometers wide, and gradually built this large area into a park. Of course, the name of the park is after Rock Park.

The rock park is built around a small hill about 50 meters high, and the small hill in the center of the park has been transformed into a large amphitheater similar to a terrace under the huge amount of renovation, and at the top of the hill, there is the largest building in the entire park - Nandu Rock Gym.

This is a large venue with a capacity of 26,000 people, and the PK arena of the Nandu International Rock Festival is held in this large concert hall every year, and even the final is also held here.

Of course, before the PK arena kicks off, rock bands are not eligible to enter the mecca of rock music fans around the world, and your band will only be able to enter the rock gym if it stands out in the five-day public showcase and gets enough referral votes.

The so-called public presentation session is a session for all bands that come to participate in the Nandu International Rock Festival. After the opening ceremony of the festival, this public presentation session will begin. Rock bands from all over the world set up their own stages near that small hill under the arrangement of the organizers. Of course, this kind of stage cannot be compared with the top-level stage of rock musicians, this kind of stage is a simple high stage, about two meters higher than the ground, and the area is not very large, only about 100 square meters, but it is enough to accommodate a band to perform on it.

In fact, not every rock band that signs up for the Nandu International Rock Festival can have such a small stage of their own band. After all, the Nandu International Rock Festival is currently the largest and most influential rock music festival in the world, with thousands of bands coming to participate in this festival every year.

Only about one-tenth of the rock bands that sign up for the Nandu International Rock Festival each year are able to have their place in the rock park. The bands that can enter the rock park to perform are all selected through selection. Each band that signs up for the festival must send its own music works to the organizing committee at least half a month in advance, and then the organizing committee will make an evaluation according to the level of these musical works, so as to screen out the 640 rock bands that can finally enter the rock park to perform.

As early as half a month ago, the grandmaster sent the CD recording of the two songs "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty" and "We-Will-Rock-You" to the organizing committee of the conference. At the level of these two songs, it was naturally easy to get the approval of the organizing committee. Only then was the Power Band able to get a stage of their own in the Rock Park. Otherwise, the Power Band will only be able to perform in a place where there is no stage, just like a street performer, just like other bands that have not been selected.

And every band that qualifies for the Rock Park needs to perform on this stage for five days, during which the only judge of whether your band sings well or not is whether it is popular or not is the vote of tens of millions of visitors.

Every year, tens of millions of tourists come to Nandu to enjoy the Nandu International Rock Music Festival, and even foreign tourists are as high as millions. Every visitor to the rock park is free, but every visitor must show a valid ID card to prove their identity when entering the park, such as ID card, passport, driver's license, etc., as long as it is an identity document allowed by the state.

This is done for security reasons, and each guest will be given a ballot for their favorite band after presenting a valid ID.

After entering the park, a visitor can enjoy the live performance of any band at will, if the visitor thinks that the band is singing very well, the typhoon or something is also very positive, anyway, he likes the band very much, then the visitor can put his vote into the ballot box set up in front of the band's stage, even if it is a vote for the band.

At the end of the five-day public showcase, the organizer will send a special person to collect the recommended votes for each band. Then, according to the number of recommended votes, the rock band that can finally participate in the PK arena will be determined.

Nandu International Rock Music Festival has been held for so many years, and it has a lot of experience in all aspects. Therefore, although the festival is completely open, the fairness and transparency of this voting mechanism to determine the bands that will finally participate in the PK competition are still very satisfactory to the public.

You know, in this completely open voting mechanism, there is almost no possibility of cheating. Each tourist can only get one referral ticket per day, and with the strict management of identity and household registration in the Dahua Empire, it is almost impossible to cheat on identity verification. Even if there is, once it is found out, then sorry, the cheating bands and tourists will not only face the consequences of being evicted, but they will also be invited to tea by the police uncle!

How did you get those extra ID documents? Confess leniently, resist strictly!

As a result, there are hardly any tourists who would take such a risk to swipe tickets for a particular band.

Of course, if your band is famous enough and has enough fans, then other bands can only watch the recommendation votes of other bands rise slowly. That's not a ticket swipe, it's because people's fame is big enough to attract more tourists to vote for recommendations. (Hehe, when you see this, do you also vote for Xiaomo's book?)

The power band may be a little famous in Tiandu's bar street, but in Nandu, in Nandu Rock Park, a music mecca for global rock fans, a small power band is newer than a blank sheet of paper. That's really new and tender......

The opening ceremony of the music festival began at 8 a.m. on September 27, and the grandmasters also enjoyed the whole process.

They don't have to worry about the stage, naturally there are staff members who handle the stage all the time, and all they need to do is hand over their instruments to those staff, and then wait for the public show to start tomorrow.

So, on the 27th, the five of them had time to enjoy the annual rock 'n' roll event.

As the world's oldest and largest rock music festival, the opening ceremony of the Nandu International Rock Festival is really not covered. More than 40 well-known rock bands from all over the world took the stage to sing, dedicating a classic old song or a new song that made people's blood boil, which won the cheers of the audience.

The stage for the opening ceremony was held at the bottom of the hill and in the Rock Plaza opposite the park gate. The large and extremely advanced stage is located at the foot of the hill, and in front of the stage is the rock plaza that can accommodate 100,000 people.

Of course, the Rock Plaza alone could not accommodate so many visitors to the opening ceremony. But it doesn't matter, the whole park is large enough to accommodate millions of visitors, and some visitors who can't enter the square can also enjoy the grand opening ceremony in other parts of the park through the giant screen and supporting sound equipment.

The film and television equipment invested by the organizers for the opening ceremony is as high as tens of millions of Chinese yuan, and these film and television equipment are placed in almost any corner of the park, which is enough to ensure that visitors in any corner of the park can clearly see the performance on the big screen. It's extravagant!
