Chapter 290 At this grand ceremony, I have nothing.
If no one mentions it, that's fine.
Once someone mentions it, the impact is unprecedented.
A massive storm was brewing on major social media platforms in an instant.
It swept the globe.
Netizens around the world have gained a new understanding of China.
The world's netizens have come to appreciate mythology anew.
They finally understood why this country was always able to create miracles.
With such a rich cultural foundation, it seems that no difficulty can defeat them.
Rosen's award sparked research into Chinese mythology among scholars from various countries.
In the near future, the myths of the Celestial Empire will spread more and more widely.
While everyone was marveling at the mythology of the Celestial Empire, Zhou Tianyi had already taken An Yutang to the World Music Festival.
The World Music Festival is not a competition, but a musical exchange.
Every industry has its own circles, and music is no exception.
If music has a temple, then this music festival is the real-life temple of music.
This is the biggest music event, held every year, and those who enter the event are almost all top musicians from various countries.
Although it's called a grand exchange event, many musicians actually bring their own works to showcase.
Logically speaking, such a grand ceremony has nothing to do with Zhou Tianyi, and it is not his place to participate in it.
After all, the people who participate in music festivals play musical instruments, not sing and dance, so the two are fundamentally different.
In the eyes of those musicians, no matter how talented a singer is, they may not be qualified to participate in music festivals.
It's called a world music festival, and it seems like there are no barriers to entry, but actually there are quite a few.
Otherwise, why would it include the world's top musicians? Because ordinary musicians simply don't qualify.
Zhou Tianyi is certainly not a musician; he is a singer, that much is clear.
Even so, the music awards ceremony still invited Zhou Tianyi to participate, not for him to exchange ideas, but to perform in the program before the ceremony.
Surprisingly, as a top-tier singer in the Asian region, although not number one in the world, she is certainly in the top three. Yet, even with such achievements, she can only be used as a figurehead.
Of course, you can also put it another way: think about it, this is the world's most prestigious gathering, not just a grand event that the rich and powerful can enter. To get in here, you need to have real talent.
For some people, being invited to participate in the grand event and perform on stage for a group of world-class figures is an honor.
Moreover, the other party invited not only Zhou Tianyi, but also two other people, both of whom are world-class singers, whose strength and influence are no less than Zhou Tianyi's.
The two flew to Vienna, a city that was full of praise. Zhou Tian and An Yutang had seen the beauty of Vienna when they traveled the world together.
The two were in high spirits during their return visit and did not rush to the hotel that the festival had arranged for them. With a day to go before the start of the World Music Festival, they were in no hurry.
Walking through the streets of Vienna, the atmosphere is filled with music. Various beautiful symphonies often drift through the air. The ancient yet modern architecture has a unique contemporary feel, making it look particularly warm and comfortable.
When Zhou Tianyi, An Yutang, and others arrived in Weiye, discussions about the music festival began to emerge. Of course, the scope could not compare with that of the Dao, since the World Animation Film Competition was a national event.
Music festivals are small-scale celebrations; apart from a specific group of people who pay attention, most people don't really care.
A music forum in China.
"It's that time of year again for the annual music festival. I've been watching for almost three years now, and this year is the last one. I'll be graduating next year and won't be able to watch it anymore."
"I don't know what's so interesting about this grand event. If there were any musicians from our country, it would be worth watching, but there weren't any. It's like watching nothing at all."
"Don't talk nonsense, okay? There are musicians from our country in it, but..."
"But you don't have any outstanding works? Right? I know we have musicians participating in competitions every year, but so what? Isn't it just a process to broaden their horizons?"
"So every time our teacher asks us to go watch, I don't want to. It's boring. At least let our musicians make an appearance and show a few of their works."
"For three years, all the performances were by musicians from other countries. Our musicians didn't even get a chance to go on stage."
"There's nothing we can do. In terms of mainstream music in the world, China really doesn't have any music to offer. Even in China, parents still enroll their children in piano and violin classes."
"We have so many musical instruments and many excellent musicians. It's just that the other side doesn't want to see any of our people perform on stage."
"If I had that skill, I'd definitely go on stage and put on a couple of shows, a 'Cooling Down' song and a 'Suona' song, and send off a few of them. Let's see if they still dare to look down on us."
"I heard they'll be inviting world-class singers to warm up the show this time. I wonder who they are."
"Have world-class singers warm up for these people? These guys must have some serious connections. I doubt any singers will actually go?"
"Why not? This is a music festival. Strictly speaking, singing is a type of music, but no matter how well you achieve in singing, you may not be able to enter the festival. In fact, some people think that singing is not even the basics."
