On February 22, the ninth "International Drama Academy Award" (Performance Award) press conference was held in Qingdao International News Center, Qingdao Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism Marketing Promotion Director Zou Xiping answered questions from the media, talking about the "International Drama Academy Award" held on Qingdao's driving role, said, "First, it will enrich our cultural life; second, it will stimulate our industrial development." ”
Zou Xiping introduced that Qingdao's original intention of introducing the "International Drama Academy Award" has two points, the first is to help Qingdao build into an open, modern, vibrant and fashionable international metropolis. The Qingdao Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government proposed to make Qingdao more vibrant, powerful and charming. According to the strategic deployment of the Qingdao Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, the successful landing of the "International Drama Academy Award" in Qingdao will accelerate the pace of construction of Qingdao's modern city and will also promote the development of the theater industry. The work of the "International Drama Academy Award" will be permanently settled in Qingdao, and as a normal work, the Qingdao Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism must adhere to the long-term and persistent work.
The second consideration is that the Qingdao Municipal Government and the Central Academy of Drama should jointly build the "Central Academy of Drama Education Practice Base" project. He said, "Although Qingdao is the capital of film and television and has a reputation, we still have many shortcomings in the development of the theater industry, such as talent training, stage design, artistic creation, etc., there are still many deficiencies in the entire industrial chain, and the introduction of the International Drama Academy Award can effectively make up for these shortcomings." ”
What other driving effect does the holding of the "International Drama Academy Award" have on Qingdao? "I feel that there are two main points: First, it will enrich our cultural life. Second, it will drive the development of our industry. ”
"It can be said that Qingdao's culture and performing arts market has not been better activated, through the introduction of the 'International Drama Academy Award', the public, including tourists, can watch the world's top-level dramas and dramas at their doorstep." Zou Xiping introduced that when the last "International Drama Academy Award" was held, he participated in the whole process. "At that time, in the performance stage, the drama "Ordinary World" of the Shaanxi People's Art Theater, the "Shakespeare of The Three People" performed by the Japanese Bird and Beast Drama troupe, the "Three Monks" performed by the China Children's Art Theater, and the dramas of Ukraine and Italy really made us feast our eyes, and the artistic standard was very high. And at that time, we gave tickets to the audience on the spot, and did not sell tickets, which was overcrowded and the social response was very strong. ”
Zou Xiping explained: "The second role is to promote industrial development and jointly build a theater industry base. We are ready to work with the Shinan District Government to build an industrial base of the whole industry chain, including talent training, stage design, artistic creation, performing arts performances, etc., and through this project, the 'International Drama Academy Award' complements and promotes each other to jointly promote the construction of our theater capital and the rapid development of the theater industry." ”
