Chapter 249: Zhang Yimou's Determination
The Chinese women's volleyball team, which has won six consecutive victories, started very smoothly and gave full play to its advantages on the net, Lang Ping's strong attack, Zhang Rongfang's flat opening, Zhou Xiaolan and Chen Yaqiong's blocking continued to score, and directly hit a wave of 9-2 small highs/tides. The team had to call a timeout, and head coach Koji Kojima replaced veteran Yokoyama Shuri with a 20-year-old rookie, Kayoko Sugiyama, who is 1.80 meters tall.
Kayoko Sugiyama is a rare tall main attack of the Toei team, and it is Kojima Kojima's "secret weapon", the offense is very good, and the offense scored a few points in a row after coming on the court, but the Toei team had no way to attack Lang Ping, and the score quickly became 12-5.
The French referee on duty was obviously biased towards the Dongying team, Lang Ping hung the ball in the bounds and was judged to be out of bounds, Zhang Rongfang smashed the ball to score, but sentenced Zhang Rongfang to touch the net...... was so angry that Xu Wangqiu scolded "the black whistle of the dog day". However, small actions did not work in the face of absolute strength, and the Chinese girl was not affected and quickly won the first game 15-8.
In the second game, the Dongying team led 2-0 at the beginning, but the Chinese girl responded calmly, Lang Ping smashed the ball unstoppable, and the Chinese team quickly overtook 5-2; In the subsequent game, the Chinese team was full of attack power, and the blocking net was very powerful, frequently blocking the opponent's smash.
When Lang Ping scored with a probe ball and locked the score at 15-7, the girls of the women's volleyball team hugged each other excitedly.
Xu Wangqiu and them, as well as the overseas Chinese at the scene, all stood up, raised their arms and shouted. Because after winning the second game, the Chinese women's volleyball team has already won the World Cup and achieved a breakthrough of three goals and zeros.
China is a poor country and does not have so much money to engage in sports like other countries, and some foreigners assert: "Chinese can only achieve results in small ball events, and it is impossible to go global in big ball sports." ”
The Chinese do not believe in evil, and they are not convinced by this prophecy, thinking that we will definitely be able to go to the world in the big ball project.
At this moment, countless Chinese heard Song Shixiong excitedly shouting on the radio and television, "Listeners, spectators, the Chinese women's volleyball pair is leading 2-0, and the Chinese women's volleyball team has won the third World Cup women's volleyball championship", and then the whole of China is boiling.
Countless people raised their arms and shouted: "Champion! Champion! We are champions!", "Who the hell said that we can't play the big ball? Who the hell said that we can't play the big ball?", "Mr. He, do you see it? Our three big balls have broken through!"
Although the Chinese team has won the championship, the game is not over yet. At the beginning of the third game, the Chinese team played very smoothly and led 10-4. But the Toei team is very tenacious, Kayoko Sugiyama has repeatedly succeeded in strong attacks, Hirose serves and scores continuously, while the Chinese team is not focused enough due to the championship, and the return of the serve is a succession of mistakes, and the opponent is chased to 10 draws. At this time, the main setter Chen Zhaodi's back injury was aggravated, and the referee was obviously biased towards the Dongying team, the Chinese team began to mess up, and the opponent scored consecutive points, overtook 14-10, and pulled back a game 15-12.
In the fourth game, the morale of the Chinese team was low, and Chen Zhaodi went into battle with an injury, her back injury was very bad, and she made mistakes one after another on the serve. The Dongying team went completely crazy, and won the fourth game 15-7 in the shouts and cheers of more than 5,000 Dongying spectators.
During the break, Yuan Weimin got angry. Yuan Weimin, who is usually moody, had red eyes at this time, and roared fiercely: "Don't forget who you are playing with, we are all sinners of history if we lose!"
In the fifth game, Yuan Weimin replaced the veteran Cao Huiying as the second setter, and the Chinese team regained its strength and led 12-6. Unexpectedly, the Dongying team was very tenacious, and scored continuously on the serve and counterattack in the shouts of the Dongying audience at the scene, chasing the score to 13 draws. After 14 draws, Japan's assistant attacker Yuko Miya smashed the ball out of bounds, and the Japanese team won the match point at 15-14.
Originally, Xu Wangqiu was very calm and knew that the Chinese women's volleyball team would definitely win, but at this time, he couldn't sit still. What if the butterfly that crossed over flapped its wings and produced a butterfly effect, causing the women's volleyball team to lose to Dongying?
Xu Wangqiu stood up and shouted at the women's volleyball team: "Come on! No one can lose to Xiao Dongying! Have you forgotten the yellow handkerchief?" At the same time, other Chinese and overseas Chinese in the stadium were also shouting desperately, desperately cheering for the women's volleyball team.
Countless audiences from countless universities, countless factories, and countless families in China are desperately shouting, and the sound of "come on" rises and falls in the night sky like a tide. Although they know that it is impossible, everyone still hopes that the women's volleyball team can hear their voices and feel the power they transmit.
At the critical moment, Lang Ping stood up, first with a heavy dunk to regain the right to serve, and then with a heavy dunk, the score was tied at 15. Then Zhou Xiaolan blocked Suwon's smash, and then captain Sun Jinfang blocked the net to block Hirose's smash, and the Chinese team won the fifth game 17-15 and defeated the host Dongying team with difficulty.
All the members of the Chinese team ran to the center of the field, hugged each other tightly, and tears of excitement poured out at that moment. The injured Chen Zhaodi was lying on the bench, tears welling up.
Xu Wangqiu and they all stood up, hugged each other, and yelled and screamed, like a group of crazy people.
At the same time, the whole of China was completely boiling. In Peking University, in the Beiping Film Factory, in the family courtyard of the 132 Factory, in countless universities, factories, and courtyards across the country, countless people shed tears of excitement, cheers and applause, like waves hitting the shore, like a mountain torrent erupting, like a waterfall pouring down, in the sky over China for a long time.
This is not just an ordinary volleyball game, after experiencing sports, the Chinese need a painful victory, need to release, need to vent, need to find a fire to ignite the national spirit.
The women's volleyball team is this fire, they proved that the Chinese can do it, and since then they have embarked on the road of becoming gods. In the 80s, when reverse racism was rampant, the spirit of "tenacious struggle and hard work" of the women's volleyball team played a huge role in inspiring the whole of China and became a symbol of the national spirit.
Xu Wangqiu found that Zhang Yimou was sitting on the chair and couldn't stop wiping his tears, and joked with a smile: "The girls of the women's volleyball team are not crying, how can you be a big man crying like this." ”
Zhang Yimou wiped his tears and smiled embarrassedly: "I'm so excited, I can't control it." He stared at Xu Wangqiu and said with a smile: "You're not crying yet, your eyes are red!"
Xu Wangqiu defended: "I put sand in my eyes. ”
Zhang Yimou laughed: "This is the gymnasium, where did the sand come from?"
The award ceremony began quickly, Yuan Weimin won the "Best Coach Award", Sun Jinfang won the "Best Athlete Award", and Lang Ping won the "Outstanding Athlete Award". Every time the guests presented an award to a Chinese athlete, Xu Wangqiu would let out a burst of cheers and chant the names of the team members at the same time.
The flag-raising ceremony began soon, the live band played the "March of the Volunteers", and the bright five-star red flag was slowly rising with the high national anthem. Xu Wangqiu and the others, as well as the overseas students and overseas Chinese present, all stood up, stared at the raised five-star red flag, and sang loudly: "Get up!
Build our flesh and blood into our new Great Wall!
The Chinese nation has reached the most dangerous time,
Everyone was forced to let out a final roar......"
Whether it was Xu Wangqiu and them in the stands, Lang Ping and them on the podium, or the Chinese in front of the TV and radio, everyone sang the lyrics of the "old national anthem", not the lyrics of the "new national anthem".
Shortly after the movement began, Tian Han was defeated and all his works were banned, including the March of the Volunteers. However, the national anthem has to be played on all kinds of solemn occasions, so a peculiar phenomenon has emerged: The national anthem has only music and no words; it can only be played but not sung.
After the end of the campaign, in order to fill the "gap" in the lyrics of the national anthem, the relevant leaders set up a "national anthem lyrics collection office" and issued a notice to solicit new lyrics for the national anthem. At the Fifth National People's Congress held in 1978, the lyrics of the national anthem were officially abolished, new words were adopted, and they were promulgated for implementation.
However, the lyrics of the new national anthem are very empty, completely made up, and cannot be compared with the old national anthem. The lyrics of the old national anthem were written at a time when the Chinese nation was facing life and death, and they were the cry of the entire nation. Everyone is reluctant to sing the lyrics of the new national anthem, but still willing to sing the old national anthem, feeling that this can represent China and the spirit of the Chinese.
After the national anthem was played, the whole of China boiled again, and the roar of "Long live China, long live the women's volleyball team" made the earth tremble. More than 4,000 Peking University students rushed out of their dormitories, lit brooms, knocked on basins, and even lit their own quilts, and marched around Weiming Lake. Like when the men's volleyball team defeated South Korea in March, they once again shouted the slogan of "unite and revitalize China". Countless residents of Beiping poured into the streets and Tiananmen Square, chanting "Long live China, long live the women's volleyball team" all night. Even the police on duty are involved.
In the Osaka Gymnasium, Xu Wangqiu, international students and overseas Chinese also had tears in their eyes and shouted "Long live China, long live the women's volleyball team".
Zhang Yimou said in a hoarse voice: "Wangqiu! Give me the story of the women's volleyball team! I will definitely be able to shoot the women's volleyball team well!"
Xu Wangqiu has absolute confidence in Zhang Yimou's ability, Zhang Yimou is extremely talented, and his audio-visual level is first-class. As long as he has a good story, he can make first-class movies. The story of the women's volleyball team itself is exciting enough, as long as it does not deviate, Zhang Yimou can definitely make the story of the women's volleyball team a masterpiece in the sports theme.
In the previous life, Zhang Yimou was criticized for making commercial films because the script was poor and the story was not well told. In fact, this is not entirely the director's responsibility, it is the screenwriter's job to write stories and scripts. The real problem is that there are too few excellent screenwriters in China, and there is a scarcity of excellent script screenwriters for genre films. Many people think that Ang Lee is a master storyteller, but after breaking up with the royal screenwriter James Shams, the quality of Ang Lee's scripts also plummeted.
Now Zhang Yimou has mastered the skills of writing genre film scripts and can write genre film scripts, plus the export company has a special screenwriting team, Xu Wangqiu is also ready to recruit Lu Wei and Yan Geling. Zhang Yimou cooperates with the company's screenwriting team and will definitely be able to write the story of the women's volleyball team well.
Xu Wangqiu said with a smile: "This matter is not in a hurry, you will be a photographer for me for two years before becoming a director, but in your free time, you can find a screenwriter from the company to work on the script of the women's volleyball team." After two or three years, when the time is ripe for you to be a director, your script is almost ripe. When the time comes, you submit the script to the center, and after passing the review, then you can direct it yourself. ”
Zhang Yimou knew that it was difficult for him to direct such a movie with his current ability, and he also wanted to study with Xu Wangqiu for another two years. Although he is a photographer, Xu Wangqiu involved him in all aspects of the film. For him, making movies with Xu Wangqiu is a learning process. He nodded and said, "My ability to write the script is insufficient, in the process of writing the script, you have to help me take a look!"
Xu Wangqiu said with a smile: "That's for sure, now that the women's volleyball team has won the World Cup, it can be said to be a national hero." If you want to shoot the women's volleyball team, you must shoot it well, otherwise the spittle of the masses can drown us. ”
