In the conference room of the hotel on April 3, Zhang Ran, Zhang Jingchu, Yi Zhongtian, Zhao Fei, and Ding Sheng sat at their desks for a meeting to discuss the formation of the Olympic bidding team. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games has a part of traditional culture, which requires cultural support from experts and scholars, and Yi Zhongtian is undoubtedly a good candidate, so Zhang Ran invited Yi Zhongtian to join his team.

To be able to contribute to the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, Yi Zhongtian naturally agreed, so he became the literary consultant of Zhang Ran's bidding team.

"Okay, let's get started!" Zhang Ran clapped his hands and said, "Let me talk about my thoughts first, our movie was supposed to start on the 6th." Now we can only postpone it for 10 days to set up our bidding team first. Because our opponents include big directors such as Ang Lee, Zhang Yimou, and Chen Kaige, as well as large-scale performance companies such as the National Song and Dance Troupe and foreign performance companies. We don't have a chance of winning on our own, we have to find helpers to bring the top talents in the circle to our team. However, I guess it's too late to start now, and we are the last to contact the twelve bidding teams. Therefore, we must not only consider domestic talent, but also poach people from abroad and bring Chinese and foreign elites into our accounts! Let's talk about our own views!"

In fact, if Zhang Ran copied the 08 plan and put it to the bidding, he had a great chance of winning. The idea of that plan is so perfect, as soon as the picture scroll unfolds, it will be 5,000 years, and it will definitely be a spike level when it is used for bidding!

However, Zhang Ran doesn't want to plagiarize, this time the opponents are Li An, Zhang Yimou, and Chen Kaige, and if he can compete with the three of them at the same time, I am afraid that there is only this one chance in his life. Zhang Ran hopes to use his own strength to have an upright contest with them. To win, you have to win, and if you lose, you have to lose!

Otherwise, even if he wins, standing in front of Zhang Yimou and them, Zhang Ran can't raise his head!

Zhao Fei first put forward his own opinion: "I really don't have any concept of the opening ceremony, we think we can learn from Zhang Yimou, he can join forces with others, then we can also join forces! Don't you have a good relationship with the National Theater, they have a lot of excellent lighting and stage talents, they are the top in China, we can jointly bid with them!"

Yi Zhongtian disagreed: "The difference between the drama and the opening ceremony is still a bit big, I think we should consider song and dance troupes, many song and dance troupes have experience in participating in large-scale performances." ”

Zhang Ran nodded: "My idea is also to join forces with the song and dance troupe, and now that the National Song and Dance Troupe has teamed up with CCTV, we can only consider other song and dance troupes." We will definitely not move the army system, and there are also people in the army who are bidding, so we will not consider it, what good song and dance troupes are there in our country now?"

Zhao Fei thought for a while and said, "Oriental Song and Dance Troupe, Central National Song and Dance Troupe." ”

Zhang Jingchu added: "China Opera and Dance Theater, National Ballet of China. ”

Zhang Ran didn't know much about several other song and dance troupes: "Chinese ballet is not suitable, and it is impossible to use ballet at the opening ceremony." There are people in the Opera and Dance Theater who know each other, but they don't know the specific situation, and the other two troupes are even more unfamiliar, do you know about these song and dance troupes?"

None of the people present learned to dance, and their knowledge of each song and dance troupe was limited to their names, and they all shook their heads with smiles.

Zhang Ran had no choice but to turn on the computer and check the relevant information of several song and dance troupes on the Internet. Several dance troupes are the top song and dance troupes in China, and they all have their own official websites, which have quite detailed introductions.

The Central Ethnic Song and Dance Troupe aims to prosper and develop the culture and art of ethnic minorities, mainly ethnic dances and ethnic minority artists. The Oriental Song and Dance Troupe mainly dances ethnic and folk songs and dances, as well as foreign traditional songs and dances, while the China Opera and Dance Theater mainly composes and performs Chinese national operas and dance dramas.

Everyone carefully looked at the detailed descriptions of the three teams and checked their performance experiences. Everyone unanimously agreed that the China Opera and Dance Theater is the most suitable, and the Opera and Dance Theater has a special stage work department. The entire stage art department has strong technical strength and rich performance experience, and has the country's first-class stage design, production and performance management personnel, who have successfully completed a large number of national large-scale theatrical performance tasks.

Zhao Fei rubbed his hands excitedly: "Do you still need to think about this, it's just ready-made! What are you waiting for? If you can combine it with the Opera and Dance Theater, the stage art will be completely solved." Isn't there a phone, call them quickly!"

Zhang Ran is not in a hurry, the Opera and Dance Theater is not a directional solicitation unit, so it is impossible to run: "The Chinese classical dance of our class is to ask Tong Ruirui from the Opera and Dance Theater to help us choreograph, and when the time comes, we can directly find her and ask for the phone number of their leader." But it's not enough for the Opera and Dance Theater, we need more talent, the best talent. Let's make a list of people we're looking for, and then we'll split up!"

The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games is a huge project that requires all kinds of talents. Zhang Ran and the others quickly made a long list, including dancer Yang Liping, Renyi's stage designer Yi Liming, costume stylist Tim Yip, etc., each of which is a top master in their respective industries.

The most exciting moment of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games was the moment when the flame was lit, which lit up the silent night sky and ignited the dream and passion of the Olympic Games all over the world. A well-conceived ignition ceremony is half the battle. Therefore, the ignition scheme is crucial to the overall bidding.

Zhang Ran believes that the ignition plan should find excellent architectural designers to participate, and the feasibility of the plan needs to be considered, and this designer should be Chinese, at least Chinese, otherwise it is difficult to convey Chinese cultural information.

Zhao Fei pondered for a long time and said, "I have thought of a suitable candidate, Lin Ying!"

Zhang Ran slapped the table: "This is good!"

Yi Zhongtian felt that this name was familiar, and asked, "Who is Lin Ying?"

Zhang Ran explained while recording in his notebook: "Lin Ying is Lin Huiyin's niece and a Chinese architect. There is a saying in the Chinese American circle that celebrity memorial services must find Yo-Yo Ma to play the cello; actresses attending the Oscars or wealthy brides must find Vera Wang to buy dresses; and if you are looking for someone to design monuments, gardens and landscapes, choose Lin Ying. ”

Yi Zhongtian knew who Lin Ying was, and when he saw Ding Sheng and Zhang Jingchu at a loss, he said: "In 81, the National Institute of Architects of the United States solicited design proposals for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in the United States, and the 21-year-old Lin Ying defeated many designers to win the championship in one fell swoop, and has been famous all over the world since then. If Lin Ying can join our team, then our ignition plan will be greatly guaranteed!"

After making the record, Zhang Ran looked at the dense names on the notebook and muttered: "The architect is there, but I don't think it's enough, we should also find someone who has participated in the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games to join our team, we need the experience of the other party, in addition, foreigners can provide us with a perspective, what foreign audiences want to see!"

Zhao Fei thinks this idea is very good, but the difficulty is very great: "It would be best if we could invite it, but the key to the problem is how do we convince the other party?"

Zhang Ran nodded, although he is quite famous in China, and his fame on the Internet even overshadowed Zhang Yimou. However, he really has no influence in the art circle, and he can't compare with Zhang Yimou at all. Why did the Gehua team invite Ang Lee as an art consultant, but no team invited Zhang Ran? This is very revealing, and people don't look down on Zhang Ran.

However, Zhang Ran still insisted: "No matter what, it's always good to try." Maybe someone is interested in Chinese culture and would like to join our team?"

Zhang Ran and the others began to check the director of the Athens Olympics and found that the director was called Papaioannu, a stage director of the Greek avant-garde art school. Everyone felt that it was unreliable to let this participant be estimated, so they directly ruled it out. The chief director of Sydney was Rick Birch, and Zhang Ran saw the name and a memory flashed through his mind, and he remembered as if this person was the bidding consultant for which team, and he couldn't remember which one. Zhang Ran thinks he can try, what if the team in his memory hasn't invited Rick Birch yet?

But when I found out the director of the Atlanta Olympics, Don Michelle, Zhang Ran's eyes lit up, this famous person in the United States, has directed many galas including the Oscars, and has also filmed TV series, and this person is quite close to China, directed the gala of ******'s visit to the United States, and participated in the return party of Xiangjiang. Rick Birch may not know Zhang Ran, but Don Michelle certainly does, and he understands Chinese culture and is the most suitable consultant!

After the workshop, everyone began to work separately.

Zhang Ran called Zhang Huijun for help, hoping that the school would find some students from the directing department to do a sub-lens analysis for the opening ceremonies in Sydney and Athens.

Zhang Huijun heard that Zhang Ran received the directional solicitation from the Olympic Organizing Committee and made a decision on the spot, and the school would fully support Zhang Ran's work.

Next, Zhang Ran contacted Tong Ruirui of the Opera and Dance Theater and told him about the incident. When Tong Ruirui heard about the Olympic bid, he immediately said that he wanted to join, and said that how could he not dance Chinese classical dance on such a big stage as the Olympic Games?

In Zhang Ran's heart, the best candidate for dance is Yang Liping, but Tong Ruirui joined to add another help, he couldn't ask for it, and readily agreed.

After getting the number of Jin Wei, the director of the Opera and Dance Theater, from Tong Ruirui, Zhang Ran immediately dialed the phone: "Dean Jin, hello, I am Zhang Ran, the director of the movie "The Aviator"!"

Jin Wei looked very cold: "Hello, what's the matter?"

Zhang Ran lowered his posture and said respectfully: "That's right, I received an invitation from the Olympic Organizing Committee to participate in the solicitation of plans for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. I don't have any experience in this area, but our opera and dance theater has a lot of experience in this area. I'm wondering if we can form a team and bid together? I don't know if you're available lately, we can make an appointment and talk in detail after we meet. ”

"Who the Olympic Organizing Committee invites and who does not invite has its own considerations. There is definitely something to consider not inviting us. The National Song and Dance Troupe has already made a bid, so where can we still be used? We understand your kindness, and we have no intention of participating in the bidding. Jin Wei said without being salty or light, "That's it!"

Dean Jin ......" Without waiting for Zhang Ran to finish speaking, the other party hung up the phone.

Zhang Ran shook his head helplessly as he held the phone and shook his head helplessly, he was a unit directly under the Ministry of Culture, so how could he look down on himself as a self-employed person! He pondered about this, but he still had to go to the door to ask for it, and he wanted to save face. If you really can't figure it out, consider other song and dance troupes!

Zhao Fei and their contact also encountered trouble in the process of contacting other elites, the time to form a team was too late, many top talents were invited by various teams, Yang Liping has joined the Gehua team, Yi Liming has joined the National Song and Dance Troupe, and Ye Jintian has also joined other teams.

But there is also good news, Lin Ying quickly called Zhang Ran after receiving the email.

On the phone, Lin Ying said excitedly: "Being able to design the torch tower for the Olympic Games held in my hometown will be an unforgettable experience in my life, I join!" )
