The vastness of the river and the grand scene made Xu Mingxia's singing even more exciting.
This unexpected opening really surprised everyone in Xiangjiang.
Obviously Hong Kong is guarding the seaside and has a beautiful harbor, so why have you never thought of such a performance design?
What the ordinary audience saw was a cool opening, but what professionals like them saw was that mainland China has surpassed Xiangjiang in terms of concept.
The speed of the yacht passing the auditorium was precisely calculated, no more, no less, exactly three and a half minutes, the same length as the song.
The opening, full of historical significance, officially kicked off the first music festival.
Xiao Qian was not at the scene and missed this magnificent opening.
At this time, he and Li Qingjue were guarding the dock, watching the yacht slowly approaching, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as the yacht docked, the two ran over, but it was Shen Jue and Wen Yi who caught the yacht first.
At this time, Wen Yi didn't have the demeanor of a diva, she was running like a madman.
"Ah... I'm so cold... Xiao Qian, it's all your fault."
Well, the river breeze in December is indeed not gentle enough.
The two of them stood on the bow of the boat and acted romantic, facing the wind, which was naturally refreshing.
Fortunately for Shen Jue, although the tunic suit was not heavy enough, at least it covered everything that should be covered.
Wen Yi's cheongsam was really a disaster.
Fortunately, female artists are all super soldiers. If they were ordinary people, they would freeze into popsicles.
Xiao Qian did not dare to say anything more and quickly moved out of the way, allowing Wen Yi to rush into the car with the air conditioner on.
Xu Mingxia walked down slowly, her face a little pale.
Li Qingjue hurriedly put her coat on her, feeling very distressed.
"Mom, you are tired."
Xu Mingxia sighed.
"We agreed, this is the last time. I'm so busy with work now, I don't have time to travel between places."
Xiao Qian helped her walk back.
"Isn't this the first time? In order to build a strong brand, I have to work hard for you."
The Beijing Broadcasting Institute is very critical now. After Xu Mingxia took office, she keenly discovered that there was something wrong with the policies and atmosphere of the institute, and she was working hard to rectify it.
"Okay, you go over there, I'll take mom back and then come back to you."
Li Qingjue hadn't seen his mother for a long time, and he didn't want to separate. But he also knew that Xiao Qian was very busy, so he started to send him away.
Xiao Qian had no choice but to say: "Then pay attention to the time and don't miss the final award."
After separating from Xu Mingxia's mother and daughter, Xiao Qian returned to the scene alone.
The atmosphere here is already very lively.
Zhu Jun and Zhou Tao's hosting is relaxed and humorous, which is completely different from when they were on CCTV.
Their hosting script was also redesigned under Xiao Qian's supervision.
In the original manuscript, Zhu Jun would confess his love affectionately at the beginning.
"The stars are shining tonight..."
What the hell?
This is a pop music awards ceremony, an occasion full of entertainment elements. How can it be made like a military parade?
After being trained by Xiao Qian, the two ace hosts finally changed a little.
"I am very grateful to Professor Xu Mingxia for her wonderful singing, and to our national male god and national goddess for their passionate performance."
Zhou Tao took it over.
"The China Pop Music Festival is the culmination of China's music entering a new era since the reform and opening up. Today, musicians from all over the world have gathered here. In the past year, musicians have contributed countless performances to our fans. There are countless high-quality songs. This grand ceremony is a summary and reward for all the musicians’ hard work over the past year.”
Xiao Qian's crisp and clean style also continued to the award ceremony.
After the two hosts made their opening remarks, they entered into the presentation of the first award.
"Our Chinese music industry cannot achieve today's achievements without the foundation and inheritance of our predecessors. So today's first award is to pay tribute to our great predecessors."
"The first award to be awarded at the China Pop Music Festival is the Lifetime Achievement Award."
What came up was the final grand prize, which surprised all the experts.
Before the ceremony, the order of the awards and the names of the awards were strictly confidential. Even the singers and management companies who came to participate did not know. Everyone came with nervousness and anticipation.
Although it was unexpected to receive such an important award from the beginning, it also made people in the industry feel gratified.
Everyone will grow old one day and will gradually become a marginalized person in the industry.
When the glory of the past is no longer there, it is an extremely heartwarming feeling to still be remembered.
Not only was the first award awarded very important, but even the presenter was particularly eye-catching.
Many people present couldn't help but feel upset when they saw the big boss and Qu Qi from the Magic City propaganda outlet walking out hand in hand.
Why is it that the person who is eligible to receive this award is not myself?
It's a pity that everyone should think about it.
After all, as soon as you hear the title "Lifetime Achievement Award", you will know that seniors who are not very old have no chance to win it.
Sure enough, this award was awarded to Xia Weizhang.
This lifelong professor at the Shanghai Music Conservatory of Music, one of the creators of the national anthem, and an old gardener with many talents all over the world, truly deserves this award.
The old gentleman was also very excited. He didn't expect to receive such an honor even though he was retired.
When Xiao Qian strongly asked him to come, he was quite reluctant. He felt that pop music had nothing to do with him.
The first award at the first China Pop Music Festival, the first Lifetime Achievement Award, the historical significance contained in it is self-evident.
With Lin Leilei's support, Xia Weizhang enjoyed everyone's applause and walked onto the podium with joy.
After Xu Mingxia went to the capital, Lin Leilei's education was taken over by Xia Weizhang.
The old man is on the verge of retirement. With less things to do, he can train the young talents.
Looking at Lin Leilei, Xiao Qian couldn't help but wonder.
Why do I always feel like this guy is the one who has turned on the protagonist mode?
Xia Weizhang liked him so much at first, but she didn't teach him in detail.
He didn't even think about what he was doing, which was a hammer today and a stick tomorrow. He often crossed lines and it was enough. How could a professional musician like Xia Weizhang teach him?
Xia Weizhang was old and walked very slowly. The senior leader and Qu Qi hurriedly walked down, took it from Lin Leilei's hand, and helped him to the stage respectfully.
Seeing how well-behaved the big leaders were in front of the old man, many people had a new understanding of the old man's status for the first time.
After receiving the trophy, it was time to speak. Xia Weizhang stood in front of the microphone, facing the river wind, with a stooped figure.
When I first met the old man, he was still laughing and cursing, and laughing. After just a few years, he even found it difficult to stand.
Time is always the most ruthless when it urges people to grow old.
But the old man is satisfied at the moment.
"It's great to see so many musicians gathered together to participate in this grand event. Looking at today's magnificent venue reminds me of my youth. When I was sixteen years old, I came into contact with music for the first time. That was also the case.
That year, the Anti-Japanese War broke out. Just now in class
After learning a simple roll call, we had to move with the teachers. In order not to be enslaved and oppressed by the invaders, and in order to preserve the fire of Chinese culture, we relied on our own feet and traveled thousands of miles. In the end
I was able to settle down in the Southwest."
Xia Weizhang was a little tired after saying so much in one breath. But he didn't want to stop, because there would never be another time when he could say this again.
"In those days, we were munching on cornbread while studying music and making music. Sometimes, we couldn't even afford cornbread, so we had to go hungry. But our hearts were hot, and we knew very well that in the country, we would lose our family.
When we are in danger of death, as long as we make even a little cry, we can wake up more people in the country to unite and return our mountains and rivers."
"My teacher told me that music is not just about singing and dancing, nor is it just a melodious sound. Music is the product of the resonance of the human soul. Good music can be turned into the most powerful weapon to reshape our spirit."
"Now, everything has become better. Looking at such a stage, such lights, and such you, I really want to tell all this here to those who have struggled together. The motherland is safe, the country is peaceful, and the people are safe.
They can... rest happily."
"Thank you for being willing to listen to an old guy like me. I am really excited to see our music career flourishing."
"As an old man who is declining, if I am still concerned at all, it is that I hope that all of you here, and musicians from all over the country, will not let down such a good era, and must compose a splendid chapter that belongs to this era."
The old man on the stage was Qingjun and thin. He stood so stubbornly and tried his best to stay calm. Under the bright lights, he was as tall as the backbone of this nation.
I don’t know if it’s because the atmosphere is so good, or if every Chinese person has the same resonance hidden in their heart.
The tens of thousands of people present, whether they were adults or ordinary children, could not help but moisten their eyes, and gave the respectable old man the most sincere applause.
The words "music is a mark of the times" have been engraved in the hearts of many people unconsciously.
