The inaugural Haiyun Music Festival last year lasted for five days.
This year's Haiyun Music Festival, due to a significant increase in the number of bands and sponsors, has been extended to a week.
There is a need to increase the number of performances, and there are also the requirements of these sponsors.
Sponsors naturally want the music festival to last as long as possible. After all, they've only spent so much money on advertising, and every extra day they run the show means more people will know about it and they'll make more money.
The Blue Shark Band performs on average every two days, alternating between performances at music academies and stadiums.
When she had free time, Liang Liang would complain to the municipal party committee leader in charge of culture.
Of course, the topics are things like the venue being too small, affecting the music festival's influence.
Although he knew that the leader in charge of culture would not approve a piece of land for him, he could speak up for himself at some meetings of the municipal party committee.
Surprisingly, this tactic worked quite well. After learning about Liang Liang's plan to build a film and television city, the municipal party committee leader in charge of culture gave it his full approval. He promised that when the municipal party committee held a meeting on this matter, he would have the plan reviewed by the municipal party committee leaders.
The music festival started on April 29th and ran for a week, ending on the evening of May 5th.
This marks the official end of the performance, not the end of the music festival.
On the evening of May 6th, the awards ceremony for this year's music festival will be held in the courtyard of the music academy. The winning bands and musicians will take the stage to receive their awards and perform.
The tickets and advertising for this final performance were more expensive than those for the preceding official performances, which can be considered as maximizing profits.
A judging panel of fifteen experts conducted detailed evaluations of almost every song performed on stage over the past week.
If a song isn't judged accurately enough during the day, they'll find it in the recordings at night and redefine it.
In the end, a total of fifteen winning programs were selected.
Nine awards, but these old guys awarded him fifteen!
They don't seem to care at all that the money isn't coming from them.
However, Liang Liang didn't take it too seriously; it was only a few tens of thousands of yuan, nothing to worry about.
At 7:30 p.m. on May 6, the courtyard of the music school was packed with people as the awards ceremony officially began.
Liang Liang invited a male and a female host from the TV station.
Awards ceremonies are naturally speech-based, so they naturally require a host.
The two hosts stood on the stage; the man was handsome and dashing, and the woman was charming and beautiful.
Good evening, distinguished guests and friends!
"The second Haiyun Music Festival has successfully concluded. A large number of excellent works, as well as outstanding bands and musicians, emerged at this music festival."
"In order to ensure that these outstanding works of this music festival are remembered and passed down through the ages, various awards have been set up for this music festival. On this wonderful night, we hope that everyone will be among the winners and return home with honors."
Applause erupted from the audience.
"Of course, it's impossible for everyone to win an award. To ensure the fairness and impartiality of this selection, the business has hired fifteen experts, professors, and veteran rock singers. Now, let Qingwei and I introduce these judges to you."
"Yu Zhongchang, Chairman of the Lianwan City Musicians Association, has been working in the music scene for decades. He has many classic songs that have led the way in different eras, and his students are all over the world. The postman leader's evaluation this time is well-deserved. Let's give him a round of applause!"
Even if the chairman of the Lianwan City Musicians Association is a folk singer, we still have to invite him; we have to give him face.
"Zhang Shuo! Lead singer of the Beijing 1989 band, one of the first rock musicians in China. He started creating rock music ten years ago. Over the years, his band's works such as 'Say It' and 'New Prayer' have become widely popular. In particular, his new work 'Friends' last year became a hit across the country. His joining will surely bring more professional judges to everyone. Welcome him!"
After the two hosts introduced each of the 15 judges, half an hour had passed.
The awards ceremony has begun to enter its substantive phase.
"Now our awards ceremony will enter the substantive stage. First, we will invite a notary to conduct notarization."
Two notaries from Lianwan Notary Public Company notarized the award selection process.
"Now we'll move on to our first award of the day, the Best Arrangement Award. Let's see what the jury has decided."
Yu Zhongchang, who was sitting in the middle of the stage, handed a red envelope to the female host named Qingwei.
Qingwei took the envelope, walked to the front of the stage, and opened it.
"The Best Arrangement Award goes to the White Night Band from Harbin. Their winning song is 'I'm Running Wild on the Snow.' Please welcome the White Night Band to the stage."
The White Nights band members, sitting in the very center of the audience area, were so happy they looked like Transformers. They practically floated onto the stage as if they were walking on cotton.
They received a wave-shaped trophy, a certificate of award, and a cash check for one thousand dollars.
The four members of the White Nights band are clearly the introverted type, yet none of them could deliver an acceptance speech fluently; this guy was stammering.
Fortunately, acceptance speeches don't require many words. If they were asked to write a thousand-word essay now, they would probably wet their pants.
After receiving their award, the White Nights Band performed their award-winning song, "I'm Running Wild in the Snow," on stage.
Although this piece of music has a similar name to Old Cui's "Let Me Run Wild in the Snow" from the previous life, the content is completely unrelated.
The melody of this song isn't particularly outstanding, but their arrangement is unique.
The effect of the howling north wind, especially when played on musical instruments, gives the audience a sense of being there.
This piece truly deserves the Best Arrangement award.
After the Best Arranger award is presented, the Best Composer award will follow.
There are two awards for Best Composer.
Luo Lin's "The Shepherd" undeniably occupies one of the top spots.
From the moment the Desert Wind and Sand Band sang this song, it attracted great attention from the judging panel.
This made Rowling break out in a cold sweat. The song was given to him by Liang Liang, and he never expected it to win an award.
Another song was taken from a piece called "Asking the Sea," which was composed by a small, relatively unknown band in Lianwan City.
Although the lyrics of this piece are still somewhat immature, its artistic conception is profound, which seems somewhat contradictory.
Coupled with its beautiful melody, it is unforgettable and lingers in the memory.
The Black Night Scorched Stones band rose to fame with this song.
The band consists of four students from Lianwan Maritime University.
Their award nearly made the students from the Maritime University who came to cheer them on sprout wings and fly into the sky.
Some girls were even moved to tears, seemingly ready to offer themselves to him on the spot.
This made Liang Liang very worried that these privileged young people might do something shameful.
