The World Arts Festival is a global event.
The fact that this year's World Arts Festival is being held in China has further piqued the interest of people from all countries.
As the World Arts Festival draws closer, many foreign faces have appeared across China, which has boosted tourism in various states.
In particular, in Xiazhou, as the host city of the World Arts Games, the construction of various competition venues began from the very beginning of the project, and with the help of a huge amount of manpower and resources, they were completed at an astonishing speed.
Just yesterday, after the third round of inspections, more than a dozen giant competition venues were announced to have entered the stage of being put into use.
Of course, in addition to information related to the World Arts Festival, another trending topic successfully attracted the interest of netizens from various states.
"Catch Me If You Can" will be released at the end of this month!
This time, Tianrui Entertainment deviated from its usual practice and did not deliberately target overseas markets.
It's not that Zhou Rongze is arrogant, but rather that the world's attention is now focused on China. If "Catch Me If You Can" can dominate Chinese cinemas, it will naturally attract attention from overseas markets.
"Just the three of you?"
Lin Rui was speechless.
The huge Tianrui only had three people shortlisted for the World Arts Festival.
Sun Youlin.
Shen Yun.
Li Mubai.
"You're a superstar now?"
Lin Rui looked at Li Mubai and couldn't help but wonder, wasn't this guy promoted to the top tier not long ago?
"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he should be able to advance to the Heavenly King rank before the World Arts Awards."
Li Mubai was honest and straightforward.
"Did your dad pull strings again?"
Besides this explanation, Lin Rui couldn't find any other possibility.
"No...no, I don't think so..."
Li Mubai was also a little confused. He had originally thought of denying it, but as he spoke, he fell into deep self-doubt.
"Forget it, let's not dwell on this."
Lin Rui felt that today's superstars are really worthless.
In the past, superstars were undoubtedly powerful and influential figures in their respective states.
However, with the unlocking of cultural walls in various states and the real-time updates of artist influence rankings, superstars have become rampant.
Sun Youlin and Shen Yun, who were standing to the side, wanted to laugh but dared not, so they could only hold it in.
However, the two of them also felt a sense of emotion.
Sun Youlin was alright; before he was sidelined, he was already close to becoming a top star.
However, after being blacklisted, Shen Yun completely disappeared from the entertainment industry. Her so-called status as a diva was nothing more than a pipe dream for her at that time.
Until she met Lin Rui, the benefactor who changed the course of her life.
Whenever she thinks back, Shen Yun always feels as if she's in a dream.
"Being selected for the World Arts Festival proves that you are excellent enough. I was just a little curious."
Seeing Li Mubai still lost in thought about life, Lin Rui worried that he might have a momentary lapse in judgment and become discouraged, so he had to change his tone: "This time, I will accompany you to the World Arts Conference."
"Xiao Rui, I heard you're the chief judge for the piano category?" Shen Yun asked curiously.
Lin Rui knew what Shen Yun wanted to say and smiled, "There's no conflict, after all, the piano group's competition schedule isn't too tight."
After a pause, Lin Rui continued, "Are you all in the pop group?"
"Mu Bai is not."
Sun Youlin and Shen Yun both looked at Li Mubai: "He's from the opera troupe."
"drama?"
Lin Rui looked at Li Mubai with some surprise: "Even the national team has people being eliminated. Tell me, how did you manage to get in?"
The implication is, did your dad actually slip you money?
Li Mubai coughed awkwardly: "Strictly speaking, it's just a new category in the opera group, namely opera-style pop music."
At that moment, Lin Rui suddenly understood why this guy was selected.
Traditional opera is the kind of art form that awards medals.
Frankly speaking, if this World Arts Festival hadn't been hosted by Shenzhou, the opera category probably wouldn't have been approved at all, let alone become a designated competition item for the World Arts Festival.
Seemingly sensing the deeper meaning in Lin Rui's gaze, Li Mubai became even more embarrassed: "I'm sure I'll be promoted to Heavenly King this month."
"The popular opera singing group is probably in a civil war."
Lin Rui stopped worrying about Li Mubai. He could still pick out some songs that combined Peking Opera singing with pop music, enough to ensure Li Mubai's smooth advancement.
Thinking of this, Lin Rui looked at Shen Yun and Sun Youlin.
The popular group is no ordinary place; the competition here is far more brutal than just the word "brutal."
"Xiao Rui, we all know that we were selected for the popular group because of you."
Shen Yun and Sun Youlin had discussed this matter privately.
Although they are both quite capable, it is clearly impossible for them to surpass the top stars of each state and secure a place in the popular arts section of the World Arts Festival.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Lin Rui nodded: "Brother Sun, Sister Yun, how well have you mastered the 'Crazy Language'?"
"I'm fine."
Me too.
Sun Youlin and Shen Yun spoke almost simultaneously, their eyes shining even brighter.
The saying goes, "It takes a thousand days to train an army for one day to use it." For the past year, they have spent almost all their free time learning languages.
The World Arts Association will face not only fellow Chinese, but also artists from other countries.
Not all judges and guests understand Mandarin, so even if a Mandarin song is of nine points quality, if others cannot understand the lyrics, the score will be reduced no matter how good the melody is.
"I've put together a list for you over the next couple of days."
"I'll use the rest of the time to practice hard."
After saying that, Lin Rui left the meeting room on his own.
"Teacher Fusheng".
On the way, I ran into Xiao Zheng, a clerk from the production department: "Secretary Liu from the Artists Association is waiting for you in the VIP room."
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Lin Rui stepped into the elevator, wondering why Secretary Liu had suddenly come to see him.
After all, the two usually communicate by phone, so this sudden visit must mean something is not simple.
As expected, as soon as Lin Rui entered the VIP room, Secretary Liu, who had been sitting and drinking tea, immediately stood up.
“Mr. Lin, the chairman sent me here this time.”
Xu Hongzhuo?
Lin Rui asked curiously, "Does Chairman Xu need something from me? Actually, a phone call would have sufficed; there's no need to make a special trip."
"President Xu just received the news as well."
"At the opening ceremony of this World Arts Festival, Xiazhou is responsible for three programs, one of which is a live performance."
Secretary Liu looked somewhat troubled: "The official requirement is that the live performance must be in Mandarin and at the same time, it must liven up the atmosphere. Chairman Xu has thought about it over and over and has also talked to some people, but the result is not very satisfactory."
"It just so happens that news of your return reached Chairman Xu's ears, so he sent me over to inquire..."
They really don't visit the temple unless they have a reason.
Lin Rui was somewhat amused and exasperated. In the past, Xu Hongzhuo would have contacted him directly by phone.
The fact that Secretary Liu personally visited Xu Hongzhuo shows how much he values this matter.
"Secretary Liu, I understand what you mean. I'll take this task."
"Thank you so much, Mr. Lin."
Secretary Liu beamed with joy.
"Wait a moment, I'll go record a song for you to take back."
Lin Rui smiled slightly, turned around and left the VIP room, heading towards the recording studio.
