China's land area is 40 times that of the United Kingdom, and its population is more than 20 times that of the United Kingdom.

In the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, a total of more than 20,000 torchbearers were relayed, and the relay race lasted for 130 days, while the 2012 London Olympics, the original plan was to pass 8,000 torchbearers, and it could be completed in 70 days.

In addition to the Olympic sportsmanship, the torch relay was also entrusted with another important task – it was a show, a show that was needed by many parties and needed to be completed together.

Since it's a show, it's easy to operate.

Before Yang Lei got on the plane, Xu Shiwei's people sent him a list.

"Out of a total of 8,000 people, only about 30 Chinese participated in the torch relay? ”

Yang Lei looked at his watch, and the first person in line was Li Ning, and he was the only Chinese who passed the flame in Greece.

"Well, the Greek Olympics should have no chance, the biggest peach was picked by Li Ning, and I don't have to go to Greece to join in the fun. ”

The remaining Chinese are mainly environmental activists active in the UK, as well as Bai Yansong, Li Bingbing, and Wang Lihong, who have powerful backgrounds.

Yang Lei pressed his fingers against the screen and looked down one by one.

Xu Shiwei was very caring and put the list of the most well-known British torchbearers at the front.

After reading less than ten, Yang Lei found an interesting guy.

Bell Grylls, this man doesn't need to be introduced, almost a household name, the man who stands at the top of the food chain.

"It turns out that Bei Ye is also going to pass the torch, which is a bit interesting. ”

At this time, a boarding reminder came out on the radio.

Yang Lei put away the computer and sent a text message to Xu Shiwei: "Help me send the details of Master Pei over and see if there is a chance to cooperate with him this time." ”

Xu Shiwei was also interesting, and replied: "You must cooperate normally, don't learn from him to drink urine, otherwise you will die, and you will never want to kiss me." ”

Ahem, ahem!

Yang Lei had just sat down in the first-class cabin, and when he saw this piece of information, he almost choked on his own saliva.

Fortunately, Xu Shiwei didn't say, don't learn from Master Pei to give yourself an enema......

As a world-famous British, the process of the torch relay has a strong sense of ceremony.

According to information obtained by the hackers from the British Olympic Organising Committee, Bell Grylls will fly the Tyne River with a torch from a height of 400 metres above the Tyne Bridge in Newcastle on the morning of June 15 to reach the opposite bank.

As the host of "Survival in the Wilderness", the selling point is to challenge the limits of human beings and do things in the most exciting way, which is the golden sign of Bei Ye to attract attention.

Yang Lei was speechless, this perverted plan, how can he cooperate?

Do you want him to climb the 400-meter-high bridge over the River Tyne and pass the torch to Bei Ye?

He's pretending to be forced, not playing with his life.

The world is so beautiful, so many beautiful girls have not been saved by him, there is no need to have such an exciting time, right?

The plan is set by people, because it has not been made public, and many details can be modified.

The most effective way is to throw money at the other party and get the other party to revise the script.

Yang Lei flew to London, had his own person to pick up the airport, arranged to stay in a hotel, and visited the London Olympic Organizing Committee, everything was taken care of by the staff.

The BBC's team responsible for promoting the Olympic torch relay received an application from X-Sports to work with Bell Grylls to discuss options.

Looking at the £2 million offer, the director team agrees.

In the BBC Radio and Television Building, the experts took out the plan drawings of Bei Ye's flight over the Tyne River, more than 20 floor plans, densely packed with data annotations, and looked very professional.

In the original plan, Bei Ye was to take the Olympic torch and take a lifting winch to the top of the 400-meter-high steel bridge, where there is a small maintenance and inspection station that can accommodate cameramen and reporters to stand on it, and the iron cable is also fixed there.

Yang Lei asked, "Isn't it Bell climbing the Tyne Bridge with his bare hands?"

A bridge engineer from the University of Cambridge shook his head and said: "The biggest difficulty with the Tyne Bridge is that the wind is very strong, and it is very dangerous to climb with bare hands. ”

The head of safety pointed out: "And climbing bridges with bare hands, even Bell has a hard time doing it, let alone holding a torch." ”

Yang Lei was a little depressed here, a few people looked at the drawings, and the most exciting shot was probably the fixed camera angle on Bei Ye's body, and the moment he jumped off the steel bridge.

The executive director asked, "Can you pick up the torch after Bell lands?"

Yang Lei shook his head: "If the Tyne River Leap is just Bale's solo show and let me get the torch he passed at the finish line, it is not worth the 2 million pounds in sponsorship fee." ”

2 million pounds, this figure is already very high, and the executive team on the BBC side is also secretly laughing, this Chinese young man is not stupid, it is not easy to fool.

Yang Lei asked on a whim: "Can you add another parallel parallel track, or a crossed iron cable, so that Bell and I can carry out the torch handover in mid-air?"

He gestured with his hands crossed, and the more he talked, the more excited he became, and this whimsical idea was like a little spark, instantly igniting the team's brains.

If you want to break the record and go down in the history of the Olympics, of course, how exciting and how to come.

On the premise of ensuring safety, the more exciting the topic, the better.

Bridge engineers, as well as senior BBC security experts, are exploring possibilities, and several people are holding different drawings and using drawing rulers to calculate lengths and angles.

In the end, the executive director said: "The plan is very difficult, and it requires additional money. ”

Yang Lei said: "Add another 500,000." ”

The other party was very hesitant, but there was no lion to open his mouth, and after discussion, he said: "Add another 1 million." ”

"I'm going to see the concrete plan before I decide whether to agree or not. ”

"No problem. ”

A preliminary agreement was reached, and Yang Lei was excited.

He went to the capital, as well as Zhangjiajie, these places, have played the mountain forest iron cable project, using the height difference, hanging on the iron cable to leap over the steep scenic area, that feeling is really exciting.

After a week of field investigation, engineering modeling, and computer simulation, Yang Lei's whimsical experience was realized!

As a result, Bell Grylls, who was still recording in the United States, received a notice that he would work with a Chinese man to complete the torch handover over the Tyne River.

“Cool！”

Bell was so impressed with the plan that he couldn't wait.

In June, professional engineers are working hard to erect various equipment on the Tyne Bridge in Newcastle.

Bell's team, who have extensive experience in outdoor adventures, take safety and security very seriously, checking several times a day to make sure both of them are safe.

Yang Lei has been wandering around these days, and after Li Ning lit the torch on May 19, the torch relay was in full swing, and the light of the Olympic Games shone on the land of China, he finally appeared in the mass media.

The British branch of Xinhao News Agency contacted Yang Lei and conducted an exclusive interview with Tencent reporters.

"I heard you're going to be taking part in the Olympic Torch Relay too?"

"Yes, although the branch of X-Sports in the UK was established relatively late, it has always been keen on public welfare, serving the community, actively integrating into the local British society, and is deeply loved by the British people, so I have obtained a special permission to be an Olympic torchbearer. ”

"On which day will you pass the torch?"

"On June 15th, I will receive the Olympic flame from Bell Grylls. ”

"Is that the famous explorer Bell we are familiar with?"

"That's right, we'll join forces to surprise the world when the time comes, so stay tuned. ”

The following interview is all about how much X-Sports has achieved in Europe, with France as the core base, and flagship stores in the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy and other countries.

Advertorials are advertorials, unabashedly, Yang Lei and Tencent are the best at using advertorials to promote themselves, and they will not arouse readers' disgust.

When the news came back to China, it instantly attracted the attention of the mainstream media.

The foreign monks are really good at chanting, and Yang Lei is torn up with Li Ninganta in China, and he has been warned by the relevant departments and is not allowed to publicize.

But when the news of the Olympic flame came back, it was still Bei Ye and Yang Lei who teamed up to make a big news, and there was no way to stop it in China, and they were all forwarding reports.

"it, Bei Ye and X-Sports cooperate?"

"Awesome, does Yang Lei want to eat insects?"

"Uh......"

The people in China like to see this scene, and the scene of Bei Ye eating popping insects is really unforgettable and unforgettable.

Looking at the content of the news carefully, Yang Lei's exact words were: "As a non-professional, I certainly can't compare with Mr. Bell Grylls, whose legendary adventures I admire very much, and I am deeply honored to be able to partner him as a torch relay partner." ”

It turned out to be a light cooperation, and there was no heavy taste like eating elephant and sheep balls.

The Chinese people suddenly realized, and everyone began to look forward to it, in which form will the two pass the torch?

I guess it's super exciting.

More than ten days have passed since Li Ning ignited the fire.

Who will be remembered by history for the spread of 8,000 people? Of course, the one who is the most popular.

On 13 June 2012, the BBC gave a brief overview of the torch relay the day after tomorrow in its official news and website, in which Bell Grylls and Chinese Yang Lei will take on an unprecedented feat of handing over the Olympic torch over the River Tyne.

The news is vague, but it is just the right thing to touch.

Everyone who speculates here in Huaxia knows that Tencent Dad spared no effort to make the joint cover of Bei Ye + Yang Lei, which is hung on the homepage of Tencent Sports, I don't know how eye-catching it is.

In contrast, those Bingbing, Leehom, and even Li Ning, who lit the holy fire, no one cared.

The common people are like this, and they are tired of seeing too many unchanged missionary postures, and the uncommon postures are even more exciting.

Finally, at 6 o'clock in the morning on June 15, and at 14 o'clock in the afternoon here in Beijing, the Chinese press corps, which had been waiting in Newcastle, finally waited for Yang Lei.

Yang Lei came out of the hotel, wearing a white London 2012 Olympic uniform, and went out in good spirits, he happened to see the logo of the rich goose, smiling and waving to say hello.

Click.

A handsome photo was newly released, and Tencent quickly updated the Olympic topic: "Yang Lei has set off from the hotel, let's wait and see." ”
