How many are 10,000 people?

If the area is calculated according to the area of one square meter per person, 10,000 people can stand on an international standard football field, and there is even a surplus.

By this standard, the Games have attracted far more than 10,000 spectators.

Buses and a variety of cars that pick up athletes, coaching staff, tour groups and all kinds of cars have filled the parking lots on all sides of the Olympic Sports Center.

There was a long queue at the entrance, and more than a dozen news media outlets had found their seats and were already filming reports.

The red carpet runs from the main gate to the main arena, lined with marble planters filled with all kinds of flowers.

Large red hydrogen balloons float in the air, and below them stand volunteers dressed in uniform systems, who are students from universities in the provincial capital.

The main arena has opened for admission, but the crowd that has just entered is unaware of the structure of the stadium and is only congested at the nearest few entrances.

The staff wore a guide microphone and loudly cleared the crowd.

At the circular entrance connection, the students and teachers of the eighth middle school sat together, waiting for the staff to lead them.

The number of spectators attending the opening ceremony today exceeded expectations, and all the staff of the Olympic Sports Center were busy.

A locker room originally reserved for teachers and students at No. 8 Middle School was temporarily vacated by a team of reporters from several East Asian countries, who could only wait for the coordination of the staff.

Looking at the crowd of people coming and going, the students were bored waiting.

Eating too early in the morning, coupled with the excitement, many students hurriedly got on the bus without eating anything. As a result, many people are hungry until now.

The school only reimburses the expenses with invoices, and Mr. Cui has already advanced a lot of money, so Cao Wu paid out of his own pocket and went to the convenience supermarket to buy a lot of food and came back to distribute it to everyone.

After all, everyone is also helping the Black Hole Band complete this performance, so it is also appropriate for everyone to have something to eat.

Afraid of eating indiscriminately and hurting his stomach, he didn't buy snacks that he hadn't seen before, but just bought some simple foods such as biscuits, potato chips, and bread to keep himself full.

As soon as they had eaten something, a staff member with a work card ran over panting, ready to take them inside.

Walking through the staff passage to the preparation area below the venue, the staff pointed to a small dressing room at the end of the corridor and said: "Your room is there, 1220, this is your pass, the opening ceremony starts at four o'clock in the afternoon, I will come over at half past three to take you in, you pay attention to the good time!"

After giving them an explanation, the staff left in a hurry, and there was a shortage of manpower everywhere today.

When they entered the locker room, they found that this room was much smaller than the dressing room for everyone when they came in for rehearsals two days ago, and there was no space to sit after putting down the instruments, so they couldn't help but complain.

Teacher Cui was busy reassuring everyone, while Cao Wu took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Coach Marinated Egg, asking where Naren Tuoya was.

The athletes' leading teacher is not Mr. Cui, and they act separately from the orchestra.

They came this time, not only to participate in the opening ceremony, but also to cheer for the physical education students of No. 8 Middle School.

Athletes' locker rooms are generally on the ground floor, and try to avoid going up and down stairs as much as possible, as that is risky.

Imagine an athlete who is about to compete, but when he goes up the stairs, he slips his foot and knocks his leg, so he can't be angry directly.

In 1017, the four members of the Black Hole Band, Liu Jingshu and several members of the Folk Music Club ran over to recognize the door.

After chatting casually, Cao Wu and the others came back, it was really too noisy in the aisle, the athletes and coaches coming and going, and the accents from all over the world, it was really not a good place to chat.

Back in the locker room, I looked at the table below, and the time was only past twelve o'clock.

Generally speaking, the opening ceremony of the Games takes place in the afternoon. On the one hand, it is to leave enough time to enter, and on the other hand, it is also for the merchants in the stadium to be able to open meat.

At noon, Mr. Cui took Cao Wu and a few other students to order a set meal at the restaurant in the venue and brought it back to eat.

The price in the venue is really high, a set meal costs forty yuan, which really responds to Guo Degang's words, a big lunch box lunch, a small lunch box dish, and a meat dish only has a small chicken leg and a sausage, anyway, Cao Wu is not full.

Although Mr. Cui bought a few more servings, Cao Wu did not eat more, but gave them to the students in the wind music department

Blowing and singing hungry, it's not good to eat too much before going on stage, the voice is easy to get tired, and the pipe blowing is a hard job, especially the brothers who play the tuba, just to resist that guy has to spend some effort, and I can't really blow if I don't eat more.

Time flies quickly, eat and drink enough, rest for a while, and it's almost three o'clock.

As soon as they arrived at three o'clock, the staff buddies came to take them in, there were too many musical instruments in the Eighth Middle School Orchestra, so they had to move the instruments up and put them in advance, adjust the line and put them on, and then perform directly.

Although they had already come in for rehearsals two days ago, they were still a little shocked when they entered the venue again.

The 28,000-square-meter venue resembles a small mountain range, and standing in it is like a small ant crawling into a bathtub.

And now tens of thousands of "little ants" have entered this "bathtub", and the audience seats that were empty the day before are already full, and even the back of the press booth in the south is full.

The opening ceremony was to be broadcast live on HN TV, so the cameras were set up early.

The tuner of this event is a master, so Cao Wu only needs to manage the preparation of the orchestra.

After connecting the lines and trying the sound, everyone put the instruments on the stage, and they won't move until the performance.

There were special stools placed on the stage, and everyone adjusted the instruments, and then sat down on the stage and waited for the opening ceremony to begin.

The overall color of the stage is mainly black, and everyone wore the school uniform of No. 8 Middle School before coming out, and the sky blue clothes and the black stage are also in harmony.

In the audience, most of them were rosé.

The peach blossom is the city flower of the provincial capital, and it is also the color of the uniforms of many schools in the provincial capital.

As time passed, the opening ceremony was finally about to begin.

The opening trumpet group has taken center stage.

Suddenly, the loudspeakers around the venue heard the sound of countless trumpets in unison, and four teams of performers in neat uniforms poured out from under the venue, holding colorful flowers and red and blue flags, spreading along the plastic runway around the stage, gradually surrounding the entire stage.

The symphony sounded, and the young men holding the flags waved neatly from side to side to the music, shouting something loudly.

The spectators in the stands also realized the start of the opening ceremony and cheered.

But the stadium was so big and so many people that it was hard to hear what people were cheering about.

The huge noise surged like a wave, and the opening ceremony finally began!
