Chapter 295: The Olympics Begin
The 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games in the United States of America are of great significance to the whole of China.
This is the first Olympic Games that New China has participated in since its establishment, and it has been 52 years since China last participated in the Olympic Games.
In terms of national attention, this Olympic Games can be said to be no exaggeration.
As CCTV, it also broadcast the Olympic Games live.
What do you need to watch a sports game?
Three or five friends, there is wine and food, the best.
The Los Angeles Olympics will be held on July 28, at 14:15 pm local time, due to the time difference between Yanjing and Los Angeles, it is already about 17:30 on July 29 in Yanjing.
Wu Jianye, Zhang Huijun, Mu Deyuan, Ge You, Xie Yuan, Jiang Qian and others sat around Wu Jianye's small courtyard, it was still bright at this time, but several people had already set up a small table, there were peanuts on the table, roast chicken, all kinds of appetizers, and there were a few cases of beer on the ground.
Now the opening ceremony has not yet begun, and everyone is chatting casually.
"I heard that you have been assigned to the Huaxia Youth Art Theater?" Wu Jianye asked Jiang Qian.
Jiang Qian has graduated from Chinese opera this year.
Jiang Qian peeled off a peanut, threw it into his mouth, and said with a smile: "Yes, I've already gone to report!"
Xie Yuan asked curiously, "Then what are you doing now?"
The Huaxia Youth Art Theater is similar to Renyi, it is a place where only top students who have graduated from Chinese opera can go, Jiang Qian can be divided into places as soon as he graduates, and it is obvious that his professionalism is also appreciated by Chinese opera teachers.
"Family Affair!"
Jiang Qian looked at the screen on the TV and said casually.
Wu Jianye smiled on the side: "Are you interested in studying with Yuko and coming to my side to work part-time?"
Wu Jianye opened the matter of court culture, and Jiang Qian knew about it.
"Cheng, I can earn more anyway!" Jiang Qian said nonchalantly.
"Then find a time to come to my side to sign the contract in the next two days!" Wu Jianye said proudly.
Jiang Qian and Ge You are the two performance mountains in China, and with their joining, it is difficult for the court culture to become famous.
As for why Jiang Qian agreed so easily, in fact, it is easy to understand, in the past few years, Jiang Qian has been soaking in Wu Jianye's courtyard to watch movies, coupled with Wu Jianye's fame, Jiang Qian naturally hopes to cooperate with Wu Jianye, and now to be honest, in addition to Wu Jianye's court culture, there is really no other cultural company established in China.
"Cheng!" Jiang Qian didn't raise his head.
Zhang Huijun asked with some concern: "How many people are there, don't go beyond the domestic policy." ”
This year, although private companies are allowed in China, there are also many rules and regulations, such as the classic 'seven up and eight down', which means that you can set up a company, but the number of people in the company must not exceed eight.
Wu Jianye pursed his lips and said, "Don't worry, it will definitely not exceed the number of people, now Youzi, Xie Yuan, Jiang Qian, and three clerks." Wang Shuo, they are all cooperative, not counted. ”
Although Wu Jianye rented the entire three-story building in Zhou Tao's hands, there were only a few people working in the office, and the entire three-story building seemed empty.
A few people were chatting, and the Olympics were starting on TV.
With the announcement of the conference and the opening of the Olympic Games, a person above slowly flew into the middle of the stadium wearing a flight suit, which was popular in the eighties and nineties, Michael Jackson used it at concerts, and even Xiangjiang used it.
It has appeared in "Best Partner: The Queen's Secret".
Then I saw that the original five-ring pattern became the word WELCOME, and there were planes flying in the sky, spewing out words such as WELCOME.
The opening ceremony of the Los Angeles Olympics officially began, and Wu Jianye saw that many spectators at the scene were looking forward to the situation in the venue, either waiting for the performance, or waiting for the national delegation to enter, and at the same time, many people were waving their respective national flags in their hands.
"How many of us have to be in the middle of the list?" Xie Yuan couldn't help but ask.
"Early, there is also a performance, and after the performance is over, the national representatives will enter the ceremony. ”
In the stadium, the ceremony is going on in an orderly manner, and the Kirov airship will fly over the sky, uh...... It's a white airship!
Bands from colleges and universities in the United States performed at the show, while jets in the sky unfurled the Olympic rings.
Then there is the entry of the square team, which expresses various circles. Finally, a map of the United States of America was laid out.
As the performance continued, a black female singer sang the first song from the opening ceremony.
"It's very grand!" said Ge Youqi, who opened a bottle of beer and poured himself a sip.
"Can it not be grand, Lao Mei has made a lot of money pointing to the Olympics!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
"Earn money, can you still make money by opening the Olympics?" Zhang Huijun looked at Wu Jianye with some curiosity.
"Yes, Lao Mei didn't make a lot of money, but he lost money before this Olympics!" Wu Jianye explained.
Before the Los Angeles Olympics, the Olympics had lost money, for example, in 1972, Munich spent $1 billion, in 1976, Montreal spent more than $2 billion, and in 1980, Moscow spent more than $9 billion.
When Los Angeles won the right to host the Olympics, Los Angeles hired Peter Ueberroth, a 45-year-old financial figure, to serve as chairman of the organizing committee.
The first challenge facing Ueberroth as president was funding. The Los Angeles Olympics were the first non-governmental games since the inception of the 1896 Olympic Games, and there was no government subsidy, and it could not increase the burden on taxpayers, and American law also prohibited the issuance of lottery tickets, so all funds had to be raised by themselves. Ueberroth led the committee to start from scratch and expand its financial resources, taking the following major measures: entering into funding agreements with conglomerates, selling television broadcasting rights and game tickets, reducing expenditures, making full use of existing facilities, and minimizing the construction of stadiums, renting dormitories from two universities in California for athletes and officials to live in the Olympic Village, and recruiting volunteers to volunteer for the Games.
The total budget for the Olympics is $450 million, and Ueberroth plans to use his business to break it off, and there is still a surplus of $150 million. However, according to the materials released by the Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee on December 19, 1984, the surplus was 250 million (some say 215 million) US dollars. Ueberroth became famous and was hailed as the god of Olympic management.
As the performance in the stadium continued, singing songs, Wu Jianye even heard a song from Michael Jackson's Billie Jean.
After the performance, it was time to hand over the Olympic flag, which was escorted by famous athletes from the United States and carried by Prince Melotti, a member of the Belgian International Olympic Committee, as he walked out of the corridor of the stadium.
After the flag handover, the Los Angeles Wind Ensemble began to perform, and after the performance, it was the official national delegation!
"After this performance, it is the national team to enter. Wu Jianye said with a smile.
When everyone heard this, they immediately came to their senses, leaned forward slightly, and stared at the TV screen, for fear of missing the time for the Chinese team to enter.
The first to walk out of the passage was Greece, the birthplace of the modern Olympic Games!
"What are the criteria for the entry of this national team? Why is Greece the first one?" asked Ge You curiously.
"It's dirt, the birthplace of the Olympics is Greece, naturally Greece is the first to enter, and then it should be entered according to the national alphabet. Mu Deyuan smiled.
"Oh!"
"Then our country starts with the C word, it should be soon!" Ge You continued to ask.
"Hmm!"
With the entry of Canada, Cayman Islands, Zad, Chile and other countries, the melody of "Three Disciplines and Eight Attentions" sounded in the venue, and everyone in the small courtyard became excited, knowing that this was the entry of the Chinese delegation!
At this time, the venue also resounded with the most fierce applause, at this time Huaxia is still mysterious to the United States, they are eager to know the story of this country, the commentator on the scene even shouted: When the giant dragon Huaxia delegation from the East appeared, it got warm applause from the audience!
"Long live Huaxia!"
"Long live Huaxia!"
.......
In the small courtyard, Zhang Huijun and others also shouted passionately at this time.
The flag bearer of the Chinese delegation is none other than Wang Libin of the Chinese basketball team, who was known as the best center player in Asia before Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming!
Then the members of the entire national delegation walked out of the aisle one after another, the men were wearing blue suits and white trousers, while the women were wearing blue suits and white short skirts, and the excitement in their eyes could be clearly seen through the TV Wu Jianye.
A total of 353 members of the Chinese delegation came, including 225 athletes, a large number of people, and everyone slowly walked over in front of Wu Jianye.
Wu Jianye saw the iron hammer Lang Ping in the team, the current Chinese women's volleyball team is at its peak, during the five consecutive championships, the women's volleyball team has no opponents in the world, and the gold medal of this Olympic Games will also be won by them.
At the same time, Wu Jianye also saw Xu Haifeng, who won the first Olympic gold medal in China, his expression was a little nervous, before participating in the Olympic Games, because he was relatively high in the project, everyone had great hopes for him!
Later, Wu Jianye also saw Li Ning, the prince of gymnastics, who is still very young now, and he definitely can't imagine what kind of results he will achieve in the Olympic Games, and he definitely can't imagine that he will one day become the one who will light the torch at the Olympic Games held in China!
"Do you think the women's volleyball team can win the Olympic championship this time?" Jiang Qian also asked with some excitement.
The women's volleyball team is now the biggest star of the national team, and they have participated in the third World Cup volleyball tournament held in RB in November as the Asian champion in 1981, and won the World Cup championship with a record of seven wins.
In 1982 he won the tournament.
Now the whole country is praying that the women's volleyball team can win the Olympic championship and achieve the great cause of three consecutive championships.
"It must be possible!" Wu Jianye said firmly, this time is not for cold water drinks, not for the sales of Jianlibao, but for the Chinese sports team to stand on the highest peak of the world sports stage!
Compared with other countries, the Chinese delegation was obviously a little nervous, only a few team leaders behind Wang Libin waved to the audience, while the other athletes walked in unison......
The queue is very long, but after all, there is a time to walk through, in fact, the whole process is not long, that is, two or three minutes.
But even these short two or three minutes still made the audience in front of the TV rush to excited.
The rest is the delegations of other countries entered, among which the most enthusiastic cheers are naturally the host American delegation, now they can almost crush the forces of various countries in the track and field project, so the on-site commentator also specially introduced the personnel of the American track and field team, including the number one darling of the world track and field, Carl Lewis!
As for the most famous basketball dream team of the American delegation in the future, it will not be until the 1992 Atlanta Olympics that the first dream team led by the old hooligan Jordan, Magic Johnson, and Big Bird Bird Bird began, and since then the American basketball national team has become the most watched team in the Olympic Games!
Now the NBA has not entered China, and Stern has not sat on CCTV for hours with NBA footage, just to promote himself from the NBA.
As for the NBA's own death in the future, it is not something that the current Chinese people can think of, even Wu Jianye doesn't know about it, after all, when it happened, Wu Jianye was already reborn.......
After the entrance ceremony, more than 140 national and regional teams gathered in the stadium, and then the Olympic flag was escorted into the venue by athletes who had won gold medals at the Olympic Games, and the flag will be raised in the sky above the sports venue.
After raising the Olympic flag, it is time to release the dove of peace, looking at the white doves flying in the sky, Wu Jianye can't help but think that the white doves who want to come to Xiangjiang Wu are also inspired by this.
Then it was time for the torch relay, when Gina Henfil, the granddaughter of the late American athlete Jesse Owens, came to the venue with the torch high and began to circle the venue.
Wu Jianye's eyes are always looking for the location of the Huaxia delegation, but unfortunately the current live broadcast technology is not as developed as in later generations, and it is really not easy to find the Huaxia delegation, but the members of the delegation who want to come at this time will not be like the delegations of other countries, scrambling to walk out of their own team first, and use the camera on their bodies to take pictures of Gina Hauffier holding the torch.
After a week of circumambulation, Gina Hamfil passed the torch to Raphael Johnson, who won the decathlon at Rome 1960, and lit the Olympic flame.
At this time, the sky has darkened, the athlete representatives also took the podium, on behalf of the athletes to take the oath, and then there were performers, into the venue, at this time the opening ceremony has come to an end, many national delegations have begun to leave one after another, of course, there are some representatives of the national team left to follow up the performance of the personnel began to sing and dance!
"That's it!" Xie Yuan said with a little unfinished.
"Don't worry, tomorrow is the official event. ”
