Piano Prince Lang Lang
Who is Lang Lang?
He started practicing piano at the age of 3
At the age of 13, he won the international championship
At the age of 25, he was selected into the Forbes Who's List
Selected at the age of 42
Forbes China's Outstanding Cultural Masters
A well-known pianist at home and abroad
42-year-old Lang Lang, like the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, is a "post-80s". Between the two "post-80s", don't say it, there is really fate.
In 2011, Lang Lang served as the image ambassador of the World University Games held in Shenzhen, and since then he has formed an indissoluble bond with Shenzhen. In the second year, Futian District took the lead in proposing and launching the "100 World Champions and Cultural Celebrities Introduction Plan" (hereinafter referred to as the "Celebrity Introduction Plan") in the city. Lang Lang is the first cultural and sports celebrity introduced by Futian, and this year is the twelfth year of cooperation between Futian and Lang Lang.
In the heart of this pianist, "Futian Cultural and Sports Celebrity" means a responsibility to ignite the spark of music in the hearts of young people. This coincides with the cultural ambition of Shenzhen, the "piano city", and the "cultural generosity" of Futian District, as a cultural highland, in introducing cultural and sports celebrities.
There is a saying that when you meet and hate late, you resonate at the same frequency.
Therefore, there is the "Lang Lang Shenzhen Futian International Piano Art Festival", where citizens can let their children receive artistic edification and get the guidance of international masters without spending a penny; there is the "Futian Cup" National Youth Piano Elite Competition, which has emerged countless young talents, there is "Lang Lang Shenzhen Futian Music Classroom", and the world's first "Lang Lang Music World" settled in Shenzhen......
In the future, Lang Lang will continue to cultivate more outstanding talents with his musical ideals and promote the construction of Futian as a "piano district".
Liao Changyong, the world's first Chinese baritone
Known as "the world's first Chinese baritone"
Baritone singer and vocal educator
Liao Changyong, President of Shanghai Conservatory of Music
In one word
It can be described as how wonderful his concert is
be booked up
As early as 1997, he became attached to Shenzhen, and that year, he came to Shenzhen for the first time to perform and participate in the recording of the Spring Festival Song and Dance Gala. In 2020, Liao Changyong also sang "This is Shenzhen" for the 40th anniversary of the establishment of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone.
On July 16, 2022, Liao Changyong officially signed a memorandum of cooperation with the People's Government of Futian District, becoming the 21st cultural and sports celebrity in Futian District and a "Futian person".
For the title of "master" by the outside world, he always waved his hand again and again, saying that he was just sharing his understanding of musical works. He never seemed to be satisfied with his work, and always felt that he could improve a little more, a little more...... And this coincides with the pioneering and enterprising spirit of "Ruzi Niu" represented by Shenzhen.
Because of this, the venue of the 3rd China Art Song International Vocal Competition was moved to Futian, Shenzhen for the first time, realizing the "homecoming" of Chinese art songs across a century, and the first China International Vocal Art Week was also held in Futian......
"Steady", "grasp the word", "there is a high note behind"...... Liao Changyong's "Vocal Master Class" public class made many music fans come and even sit on the ground. After Liao Changyong's on-site "diagnosis", picking out the details and demonstrating the performance, the songs performed by several singers who were fortunate enough to attend the class actually had a miraculous effect of turning stones into gold, which also made the audience call "enjoyable"!
What does the future hold?
Liao Changyong said that he would join hands with Futian to vigorously promote the development of cultural undertakings, so that elegant music can fly into the homes of ordinary people, as he said, "let us sing the story of spring together in Futian".

In the past, Zhou Yiwen took root in Futian, Shenzhen, and devoted himself to literary and artistic creation.

During this period, he also held six solo exhibitions of contemporary art, which not only influenced tens of millions of young Chinese viewers, but also widely influenced the international community and the international art world.
On October 15, 2022, the first metaverse drama in China, "The Adventure of the Little Prince Immersive Interactive Stage Play", funded by the National Arts Fund, also completed its premiere at the Hunan Provincial Grand Theater.
In the future, this "fairy tale father" hopes to incubate a number of well-known fairy tale and animation brands represented by "The Little Prince of Adventure", and plans to sign 10 to 20 cutting-edge fairy tale writers to build a multimedia interactive theme park based on children's IP with the help of science and technology, and build Shenzhen Futian into an incubation base for children's literature IP.

Isn't it Feng Gong?
In 2018, the famous cross talk actor Feng Gong officially signed a memorandum of cooperation with the Futian District Government and was invited to become the "cultural consultant" of Futian District.
Why choose Futian?
Feng Gong feels that for more than 40 years, as the vanguard of reform and opening up, Shenzhen has developed by leaps and bounds in politics, economy, social ecology, especially cultural construction. Futian is a hot land that I yearn for very much, and it is a "field" with "blessing".
In this way, he who always wanted to kill us really came to the front.
As a result, there is an annual Shenzhen (Futian) Comedy Art Festival, and in 2020, the Comedy Art Festival will also introduce the "Intangible Cultural Heritage Crosstalk Conference", a national famous cultural brand......
On this "field" with "blessing", Feng Gong comes to Futian every year to hold a quyi performance and exchange activity named or served as the artistic director by him, and actively participates in public welfare activities such as quyi exchanges, salons, and small performances held by Futian, giving full play to the influence and appeal of celebrities, and promoting quyi art to "take root and blossom" in Futian.
