Fall in love with "wild" concerts, these cities don't spoil the fun!

Sometimes, it's okay not to get a ticket to concerts and festivals, because the warmth and relaxation and musical atmosphere that pervade the city are everywhere.

For example, the "wild" concert in Changzhou. In Changzhou Cultural Square, the semi-wraparound poetry steps, the mini stage at the flowing water in the atrium, and the design of the metal waterfall on the ground create a tactful and smooth sense of space, providing an excellent open-air venue for music performances. People sit on the stairs and feel the beautiful blend of music and the environment.

There is no threshold for good music, and the public has a strong love for music performances, which is a manifestation of the continuous improvement of people's spiritual and cultural life. More and more urban infrastructure is constantly developing and improving, and squares, gymnasiums, scenic spots, and post stations with complete public service facilities are the stages for holding music festivals and concerts, which are indispensable conditions for achieving a "wild" concert.

Last year's Hainan Island International Music Festival tried to create a variety of innovative performance methods, such as Yundong Library, Sky Mountain Station, Century Cape West Lawn Square and other cultural landmarks in Haikou, Internet celebrity check-in places, etc., have become performance venues, and music and the city are integrated. In the performance of Haikou Sky Mountain Station, the stage and the sea view complement each other, and the performance is full of romantic and beautiful atmosphere, and the citizens and tourists are all intoxicated by it, enjoying the high-quality music experience at close range, which makes people move and happy.

For amateur singers, these public cultural spaces are a rare place to perform. It is a free concert for citizens and tourists. Singers need audiences, eager to be seen, recognized, and applauded. Citizens and tourists need music, eager to be moved, satisfied, and washed away by the melody of music.

Recently, in the series of activities of the bridgeside music festival staged in Tianjin, the enthusiastic "Hungarian Dance No. 5", excerpts from the graceful and charming ballet "Swan Lake", the impassioned male solo "My Sun", and the tenor trio "Nobody Sleeps Tonight" brought citizens and tourists a unique public cultural experience along the Haihe River.

According to the relevant person in charge of the Tianjin Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism, a series of colorful performances will be held on the famous bridges of the Haihe River such as Jiefang Bridge, Lion Forest Bridge, Bei'an Bridge and Daguang Bridge, including large-scale concerts and concerts, as well as more "short, flat and fast" music and art sketches, the scene is not very big but very close to the people.

"It's not that I can't afford to go to the concert, but Yongjiang Changyou Pavilion is more cost-effective!" Recently, near the Yongjiang Changyou Pavilion in Nanning, the "wild" concert was staged at 7 p.m. on time, rain or shine. With the rippling Yongjiang River as the background, decorated with the neon lights of the city, there is no luxurious decoration, but there are simple feelings, and a familiar song instantly evokes people's youth memories and triggers a chorus. It doesn't cost anything, but the lighting, interaction, chorus, and the sense of ritual that should be there are no less here.

Before the May Day holiday, many fans did not buy tickets for Jay Chou's concert in Hangzhou, but in order not to disappoint everyone and have a more immersive participation experience, Hangzhou not only allowed fans to "sit" on the open lawn, park and closed roads outside the venue, but even set up a temporary diversion point of more than 500 square meters outside the sports field of the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center.

The fan said, "I didn't expect there to be more people outside the stadium than inside the stadium, and the atmosphere felt like camping." "Praise for Hangzhou, Hangzhou is doing the right little things." During Jay Chou's concert, the West Lake Music Fountain launched the "Classmate Zhou" × the West Lake Music Fountain AR show, and the water-spraying "Blue and White Porcelain" became a hot spot on the Internet; The Hangzhou cultural and tourism department also facilitated the "Uncle West Lake" and Jay Chou to sing "Rice Fragrance" live, which became the "easter egg" of this concert, which caused heated discussions on social media for a while. A "wild" concert won everyone's praise, because of the city's humanized urban management and services, Hangzhou has swiped a wave of goodwill on social platforms.

The "Wild" concert is a footnote to the city's humanity and fireworks. "Walk the streets of Chengdu with me until all the lights go out." In the evening breeze of Yulin West Road in Chengdu, the singer sang the song "Chengdu" at the door of the tavern, which attracted a large number of citizens and tourists, and the sense of trend and fireworks were intertwined. Recently, the Yulin Road Folk Music Season officially kicked off, which in itself is the epitome of laid-back and comfortable Sichuan-style relaxation. Life is steaming, beauty is everywhere, along with the Yulin Road folk music season, Chengdu integrates the local fun, good-looking, delicious and good-sounding content, which is convenient for citizens and tourists to come to play, shop, taste the charm of old Chengdu culture, and stimulate urban consumption.

Life is the soil of music. The dynamism of music, the vitality of people, and the vitality of a city can constantly collide with wonderful chemical reactions, and when a city is connected with music, there are new possibilities.

The deep mountain concert staged at the scene of the May Day holiday "Village BA" is also a unique "wild" concert, with country music, folk songs and dances and foreign music taking turns, or singing or singing, and the music encounters after the fierce competition, the night of "Village BA" is hot and hot, so lively.

Just like the "Village BA", the "Wild" concert is rooted in the earth, has tenacious vitality and a broad mass base, which is a two-way rush between music and tourists.

As a public cultural event, the "wild" concert advocates a beautiful way of life, which not only has cultural significance, but also promotes the popularity of cultural tourism consumption. The holding of the "wild" concert tests the wisdom of the management and operation of tourist destinations, is the warm background color of the city's temperament, makes the city full of human touch, and enhances the sense of belonging and intimacy of citizens and tourists to the city.

Returning to the logic of Changzhou's construction of "Music City", it is necessary to use music as a "lead", create rich new scenes and new stories through technical and artistic innovation, so that music can fully empower urban life, and gradually find a musical narrative with urban characteristics to stimulate the potential of urban cultural tourism consumption.

Liu Jiewu, a researcher at the Tourism Development Research Center of Shenzhen University, also mentioned that in addition to improving the operation and management capabilities of public service facilities, a city should also dig deep into the connotation of local music culture, improve the music industry system, and form a whole industrial chain around music production, music production, music consumption, musical instrument trading, etc., especially to give policy incentives and welfare support to young musicians as the driving force of creation, so as to enhance the overall music concentration of the city.
