Two days later, Zhang Ran's bidding team meeting took place at the Shangri-La Hotel. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lin Ying, the artists from New York, were all arranged by Zhang Ran to stay at the Shangri-La Hotel, and they arrived relatively early. When Zhang Ran walked into the conference room, Lin Ying and the others were chatting inside, and only Yi Zhongtian and Han Lixun arrived in China, their home was not in Beiping, and they also stayed here.

However, there seems to be a bit of a gap between the two sides, the New York group of people sat together and chatted, while Yi Zhongtian and Han Lixun sat together and chatted. This is also something that can't be helped, Lin Ying and their Chinese are not particularly good, like Don Michelle is not at all, and the communication is not particularly smooth.

Soon, the group beatings of others came one after another, Zhao Fei, Sanbao, Guo Pei, Tong Ruirui, Ren Dongsheng, Yang Donglin and so on. Zhang Ran introduced them: "Come, I'll introduce you to you!"

"This is my old partner, photographer Zhao Fei. ”

"This is the composer Sanbao teacher. ”

"This is Guo Pei, a costume artist. ”

This is Tong Ruirui, a choreographer of the China Opera and Dance Theater. ”

……

The meeting began at nine o'clock, and before it was time, everyone sat and chatted. Tong Ruirui looked at Zhang Ran and asked, "Zhang Ran, do you know who the foreign director of the Chinese performance team is bidding for?"

Where did Zhang Ran care about this, and asked, "Who?"

Tong Ruirui said: "I heard a friend who played in China say that it is James Cameron!"

Hearing James Cameron, Zhang Ran laughed, if the Chinese performance team wins, then the audience may be able to see the Bird's Nest version of Avatar at the opening ceremony! Cameron is a cow, but Zhang Ran is not afraid, and said lightly: "Spielberg bid, James Cameron also came, this time the movement is a bit big!"

If you want to say that the status of film history can crush Spielberg, but when it comes to fame, there is no director in the world who can surpass Spielberg. Hearing that Spielberg would participate in the bidding, not only Tong Ruirui, but even Lin Ying were very surprised. Don Michelle asked, "What team is Spielberg on?"

Zhang Ran smiled and said: "Zhang Yimou's team, Athens hit Lao Mouzi a little hard in eight minutes, in order to strengthen the momentum, he invited Spielberg to join their team, and Spielberg agreed. ”

Zhang Yimou's team is already strong, but now that Spielberg has joined, the strength of the whole team has improved, and it really feels like a bit of a ride. Many members of the bidding team immediately felt the pressure.

Tong Ruirui saw Zhang Ran smiling, as if he was fine, and asked, "You don't seem to be worried at all?"

Zhang Ran smiled faintly: "What is there to worry about? If it is to compete for the opening ceremony of the US Olympic Games, when I hear Spielberg's bid, I will turn around and leave without saying a word, but this is the opening ceremony of the competition for the Beiping Olympic Games, I dare to say that Spielberg is not as good as me, does he understand Chinese classical culture? Does he understand modern China? He does not understand. You don't know a culture, so what do you present, so there's nothing to be afraid of!"

Everyone present nodded slightly, there was really nothing to fear. Don Michelle's gaze at Zhang Ran was full of approval, he participated in the Olympics and participated in many large-scale events. He knows very well that there must be a core to organize such a large-scale event, and this person must be confident and calm, and he can only withstand it at a critical moment. He likes Zhang Ran's confidence very much!

The time soon reached nine o'clock, Zhang Ran looked around, and said with a smile: "Let's officially start discussing the bidding plan!"

As soon as the words fell, the conference room was full of the sound of pulling chairs, everyone pulled their chairs forward and sat upright, among which Tong Ruirui and several of them also opened the notepad in front of them, ready to record.

Zhang Ran cleared his throat and said with a serious expression: "The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games is mainly divided into three parts: the first part, the ceremony part before the cultural performance, including the welcome ceremony, the display of the Olympic rings, and the entry of the national flag; the second part, the part of the cultural performance, the requirements of the Olympic Organizing Committee for bidding are to show the long history and splendid culture of the Chinese nation, the achievements of contemporary China's reform and opening up, and the spiritual outlook of the contemporary Chinese people; The third part, the ignition ceremony, is all about the success of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, and the Olympic Games are half the success. If the ignition ceremony is successful, the opening ceremony is half the success, which is very important. I believe that in the past two months, everyone must have some ideas and ideas, everyone can talk about their own ideas, and any good ideas can be put forward. We distilled the highlights and put them together to form a perfect creative solution!"

Lin Ying was the first to stand up: "I designed a lighting plan, the torchbearer held the torch high, slowly rose from the center of the venue, and suddenly the torchbearer lit a huge ring floating in the air, this ring is the cauldron. The lit ring flew vaguely in the dark night sky towards the torch stand and docked with the fuel system on the torch stand. ”

Han Lixun muttered: "I think the plan is good, a flying ring of fire, the visual impact will be very strong, but I have a question, can it be technically realized?"

Lin Ying nodded and said: "I consulted with experts in unmanned reconnaissance aircraft control technology, and the answer is feasible, and we have also done experiments, which can be technically realized." ”

Zhang Ran felt that Lin Ying's plan was okay, and the visual impact was very good, but it seemed to lack sufficient connotation support: "I think the pillar rises to mid-air and ignites a bit bland, I don't think it's as good as this, it is better to put the ring in the air thirty or forty meters high, and the ignition person climbs up along a rope." The ignition man climbs up one foot and inch by inch, gets closer to the ring little by little, and then ignites the ring, and then the ring flies to the torch tower! The whole process of climbing up is the embodiment of the Olympic spirit faster, higher, and stronger, and it will be more interesting. ”

Everyone applauded, and the whole ignition of the climbing process became meaningful, and the audience would be worried that the ignition person would fall, whether it was visual or psychological, the impact was very strong.

Everyone thinks this idea is really good!

However, Han Lixun asked: "The idea is very good, but can it be realized? Who has the ability to climb to a height of thirty or forty meters?"

Lin Ying liked the climbing process very much, and said with a smile: "This is very easy, through a pulley system, it doesn't take much effort to climb up." Then she briefly explained how it worked.

After discussing Lin Ying's plan, Wang Daren raised his hand and said: "I have an idea, can I let the torchbearer ride a bicycle, ride half a lap along the runway, and then fly up, fly to the torch tower, and light the torch tower in the air, and the torchbearer will continue to fly, fly out of the bird's nest, and disappear into the night sky, just like in the movie "ET"!"

Zhang Ran imagined the picture of the bicycle flying towards the torch tower, and nodded slowly: "I think the idea is good, cycling is originally an Olympic event, and China is a big cycling country, and it is also visually more impactful." ”

Han Lixun also thinks it's good: "The plan is very good, but how to solve it technically." If it is to fly into the air, it is okay to hang Weiya directly, but your plan will fly out of the bird's nest in the end, how can it be technically realized?"

Wang Daren scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly: "I haven't thought about this, Sister Lin Ying, what do you think?" Lin Ying is the technical expert of the whole team, and she has the most say in technical issues.

Lin Ying pondered for a moment and said, "You can set up a zipline outside the bird's nest. In this way, the coercion can be hoisted very high, and then it can be performed from the ground to the air and fly out. With that, she picked up a marker and went to the blackboard to draw the bird's nest, drew two tall pillars on the left and two low pillars on the right, and explained in detail how the ropeway system worked.

After listening to Lin Ying's design, everyone became excited. With this system, WIA's steel wire can be hoisted very high, and it can fly in and out from the bird's nest, and the whole performance will become very three-dimensional, and there will be more space for creation.

After that, the rest of the team came up with their own ignition plans one after another, and there were all kinds of bizarre ignition methods. The ignition ceremony was successful, and the opening ceremony was half the battle. After joining Zhang Ran's team, the first thing everyone did was to think of an ignition plan, and almost everyone conceived their own ignition plan.

Tong Ruirui knew that Zhang Ran was a person with a lot of ideas, and she saw that Zhang Ran had been listening to other people's plans, so she said: "Zhang Ran, what about your ignition plan?

Everyone smiled, and then looked at Zhang Ran, wanting to see what he thought.

Zhang Ran leaned forward slightly, and said with a smile: "This little bit of my careful thinking has been debunked by you, so I'll talk about it first, the ignition plan is called a hundred birds and a phoenix." Isn't the stadium called a bird's nest, but what kind of bird's nest is it? Phoenix! My idea is to make the torch tower look like a phoenix. How to design it depends on Ms. Lin Ying. When the ignition man came to the ignition position, there was nothing, and the torch stand was in the air. At this moment, a birdman flew up from the ground, that is, a man carried a bird's wings on his back and held a fuse in his hand, and then another birdman flew into the air, holding a fuse in his hand, and then another. More than 100 birdmen used the fuses in their hands to form an arc in the air from the ground to the air, forming a temporary air fuse. The igniter lit the fuse, and a fire dragon rushed past the hands of more than 100 people, which looked magical, and finally lit the torch tower. The slogan of the Peking Olympics has just been revealed, which is 'one world, one dream', emphasizing the same sex and participation. The more than 100 people who ignited the fuse in the air can be people from all walks of life, including workers, farmers, urban white-collar workers, men, women, the elderly, children, Chinese, and foreigners. The ignition of the ignition by so many people was not found in the previous Olympic Games, and it was a performance art, which was particularly meaningful. That's my ignition scheme!"

Shen Wei was the first to express his support: "I have watched the ignition methods of many previous editions, and I especially like the archery in Barcelona and the Ali ignition in Atlanta. Archery does not need to be explained at all, this act is the embodiment of the Olympic spirit, and Ali ignited the fire to this person, and the sick Ali conveyed the spirit of the person. Therefore, the ignition ceremony must have a concept in it, Zhang Ran's plan has a clear concept, and it is a performance art with a particularly strong visual impact, I like it very much!"

Han Lixun also said: "Zhang Ran's idea is good, people fly up from the ground one after another, forming a fireworks corridor in the air, which will be the most spectacular and participating ignition in the world, and there is a spirit of concerted effort in it." ”

Zhao Fei couldn't help nodding: "Visually speaking, it's very dazzling!"

"That's a good plan!" "It's interesting. "I like the ignition scheme. Everyone nodded incessantly.

After that, several members of the bidding team came up with their own ignition plans, but these plans were not as good as Zhang Ran's. Therefore, Zhang Ran's Hundred Birds and Chaofeng were temporarily set as the ignition plan, and Lin Ying's plan was used as an alternative. There is still a month and a half before the bidding deadline, and if there is no better ignition plan during this period, then a hundred birds will be used to bid. (To be continued.) )
