Chapter 531: If you don't take the first place, you're a failure

On the morning of April 17, the main creators of the opening ceremony of the Beiping North Olympic Games gathered at the BJ Olympic Organizing Committee. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoTheir task today is to look at the proposals of the other 12 teams, absorb the essence of the other teams' proposals, and prepare for the real creative plan of the opening ceremony.

Zhang Ran saw it quickly, that is, he roughly flipped it, and only when he encountered a particularly outstanding idea would he stop and look carefully. After reading the twelve plans, Zhang Ran found that the Great Wall, the Terracotta Warriors, Peking Opera, martial arts, the Silk Road, Zheng He's voyage to the West and other well-known Chinese elements appeared in each plan, and the only difference was the form of expression.

Among all the schemes, pyrotechnic master Cai Guo-Qiang's scheme is undoubtedly the most unique, all his designs are pyrotechnics, and he uses his best pyrotechnic technology to the extreme. The biggest highlight of the whole scheme is the idea of "footprints in the sky", which is actually the prototype of the big footprint, but compared with the later big footprints, this footprint is much smaller, and the designed route is 15 kilometers from Tian'an 1 Gate to the Bird's Nest, and a big footprint is made every 150 meters.

Among the many teams, nearly half of the teams plan to use LEDs, and the five teams that entered the second round, except for Chen Weiya's team, the other four plan to lay LEDs on the ground. Zhang Ran, Zhang Yimou, and Ang Lee all plan to lay out rectangular LEDs, they are film directors, and rectangular LEDs are simply huge movie screens. The People's Liberation Army team led by Zhang Jigang had a unique idea, arranging a white jade plate with a diameter of 80 meters in the center of the site. This white jade plate is not only an LED screen, but also a performance platform. As the white jade plate rose and turned, the stage changed to match different scenes, and the idea of this white jade plate was later used in the opening ceremony of the Paralympic Games. In addition to this, the PLA team also intends to adopt fog curtain technology, and their entire scheme uses a lot of high technology.

Zhang Ran has only seen Zhang Jigang's two works, one is the Spring Festival Gala's "Thousand Hands Guanyin", and the other is the large-scale gala broadcast by CCTV to commemorate the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.

Zhang Ran realized that he underestimated the heroes of the world, and Zhang Jigang was indeed a very high-level person. If you think about it carefully, the first half of the opening ceremony of the Beiping Olympics Zhang Jigang was at a very high level, while the second half of Chen Weiya was obviously weaker, which is very revealing.

However, the PLA team led by Zhang Jigang is still not as good as Zhang Yimou's team, and Zhang Yimou's team's plan is one thing the same as Zhang Ran's plan, that is, all its links have integrity, starting from the naming of the venue, until the final torch is extinguished, considering it as a whole whole, and there is an obvious main line. Unlike other teams' plans, a program is a program, which seems to be scattered.

The reason why the scores of Zhang Ran and Zhang Yimou's teams can rank in the top two is that integrity plays a crucial role.

While Zhang Ran was looking at the plan, the rest of the director team was also looking at the plan.

The first thing Zhang Yimou saw was Zhang Ran's plan, although he and Zhang Ran were both chief directors, he was able to get the position of chief director entirely because Zhang Ran was too young. Zhang Yimou has been in the film industry for 20 years and has always been a banner figure, he never thought that the plan he created with many elites would lose to Zhang Ran in the total score, and he was more or less unconvinced. He just wanted to see if Zhang Ran's plan was really that good.

Of course, Zhang Yimou didn't doubt Zhang Ran's level, he had seen the plan exposed by Zhang Ran's team, and the level was excellent. But if Zhang Ran wants him to come up with a plan of the same level within three days, he thinks it is impossible.

However, when Zhang Yimou finished reading Zhang Ran's plan, he was still deeply shocked, Zhang Ran and they really came up with a new plan, and this plan is not weaker than the exposed plan, and what is even more incredible is that the style of the whole plan is completely different. It is conceivable that in the whole process of conception, Zhang Ran and they must have reserved a lot of ideas, otherwise they would not have been able to come up with such a high-level plan in a short period of time.

Zhang Yimou turned his head to take a look, and saw Zhang Ran sitting on the sofa with his head bowed in thought, so he sat down next to him and said, "Zhang Ran, your plan is very good, I can see that you have made a detailed analysis of Athens' plan!"

"Athens is our opponent, so we asked the students of the directing department to make a detailed dismantling of the XN and Athenian plan, and analyze the whole plan in detail. Zhang Ran shook his head with a wry smile, "But the water in Athens is too strong, and our plan is still far from it, so we can't win at all." If we can't win the water of Athens, then we lose. ”

Zhang Yimou deeply agrees with this, the reason why the Olympic Organizing Committee engaged in a joint team to direct the opening ceremony is because Athens is in front of the jewel, and only by surpassing Athens can it be applauded: "Yes, we must find a concept that runs through to fight against the water of Athens, if we can't find this concept, then we lose." In fact, not only do we have to win Athens, but we also have to take the first place, and the second place is a failure!"

Zhang Ran felt that this was reasonable, the opening ceremony of the Peking Olympics was so good, the whole world was boiling, but there were still many people in China scolding. After the opening ceremony of the London Olympics, a group of people jumped up and down saying that London had completely destroyed Beiping. It is estimated that after the Rio Olympics in 16 years, a group of people will jump out and shout that Rio will complete Beiping.

If the level of the opening ceremony of the Peking Olympics is really a little inferior, it is unimaginable what the consequences will be!

Zhang Ran nodded: "The expectations of the Chinese people for the Olympic Games are too high, and if you don't take the first place, you will fail!"

However, Zhang Ran has full confidence in this, the opening ceremony of the Beiping Olympics in his memory was originally the first, and he can only make it better after he joins, and will not make it worse.

Zhang Ran said: "To defeat the water of Athens, this concept is really difficult to find, we have been thinking about it for almost a year, but we have not found a particularly good concept. By the way, how did your "Golden Armor" go?"

"The drama in Beiping has been completed, and the next part is Hengdian. Hengdian is still setting up the scenery, and the rectification square is going to be paved with 600,000 chrysanthemums, which is a big project, and about 20 can be built. At the end of the month, I will go to Hengdian to shoot the next scene, you know that this has been set a long time ago, it is impossible to stop, and I will have to trouble you to go to Hengdian with me when the time comes!"

Zhang Ran is very supportive of this, and after the start of "Tangshan Earthquake", he will also ask the members of the director team to go to Tangshan with him: "Just follow the director to learn from you!"

"What are you talking about!" Zhang Yimou smiled and waved his hand, and then asked, "When will your earthquake start?"

Zhang Ran said: "Prepare to start on July 28th, that day is the thirtieth anniversary of the earthquake!"

Zhang Yimou admires Zhang Ran and dares to challenge this kind of theme: "The theme of the earthquake is major and the attention is high, but it is not easy to shoot, if you don't shoot well, the people will scold!"

Zhang Ran also knows this: "A few days ago, I went to Tangshan, and Lu Lin from the Propaganda Department told me that there are many people who say, you see that we have invested 90 million in Tangshan, and 90 million can build a hospital, build three middle schools, and build several primary schools, but now we will make a movie, but they also said that if this movie is finished, it can arouse the attention of the whole country to Tangshan, and the benefits brought by this are far greater than building a hospital and building three middle schools. The money from the construction of the middle school was used to make a movie. After listening to Lu Lin's words, I was under a lot of pressure!" But he said with a firm expression: "But no matter what, this movie must be made!"

Zhang Yimou was a little surprised in his heart, who was this fighting against? It's just that he understood that there were some things that should not be asked.

At the same time, Zhang Jigang, who was looking at Zhang Ran's team plan, was also shocked, he looked up at Zhang Ran, and felt that this indifferent young man was an extremely not simple person.

Early the next morning, Zhang Ran walked into the Nortel campus. The creative work for the opening ceremony of the Olympics was about to begin, and he couldn't go to class for a long time, so he had to make some arrangements for the teaching work in the class for the next few days.

The students in the class have already assembled in the playground and have already started to practice. When they saw Zhang Ran coming, they all stopped practicing and hugged each other.

Yang Mi came to Zhang Ran and said excitedly: "Teacher Zhang, when will you choose a guide? What do you think of me?"

"It's not clear yet, but the selection of the guide should be relatively late, it should be carried out in 08, and then the major universities in Beiping will be selected, and our Nortel must be the focus of the selection. Zhang Ran looked at Yang Mi, and then looked at the other three girls in the class, "The girls in our class should be all playful, the height is not enough, and the guide seems to require more than 1.7 meters!"

Yang Fan smiled and said, "Teacher Zhang, I'm just two centimeters away, go through the back door!"

Zhang Ran shook his head: "The Olympics is a matter of national concern, how many pairs of eyes are staring, how can you go through the back door!" He muttered: "But there is a job that suits you quite well, I don't know if you are interested?"

Yang Fan thought to himself, how could he be so kind, and said suspiciously: "What kind of work?"

Zhang Ran said seriously: "The toilet of the Olympic Organizing Committee needs to be cleaned by a special person. ”

Yang Fan was furious: "Donkey Zhang, you ......" Yang Fan reacted quickly: "Ah, no, Teacher Zhang, you are too much!"

Zhang Ran glared at Yang Mi, motioned for everyone to stand up, and then said: "Everyone knows that I am now the director of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, and I will go all out to devote myself to the work of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games. We have already learned most of the content of the performance, and the rest is mainly the part of character building, including how to analyze the text, the elements of the character, the dress for the character, and the rhythm of the character, which will be in charge of Mr. Guo and Mr. Yan. Of course, don't be lazy, I'll definitely come back anytime to check!"

Chang Jirong said: "Teacher Zhang, you put it down, we will definitely study seriously!"

Yang Fan said seriously: "Teacher Zhang, the Olympics are more important, you can go with confidence!"

The other students also expressed their support, and everyone knew what the opening ceremony of the Olympics meant, and there were no complaints.

At noon, Zhang Ran invited the students to eat on the third floor of the cafeteria, which was renovated this year, and the name was changed from the original Quaqua Food Street to Xingxing Food Street. However, the students in Zhang Ran's class all complained that it was unpalatable, and they asked Zhang Ran to invite it again in the evening. Zhang Ran naturally would not refuse, and agreed with a smile.

After eating, he returned to the office, and Zhang Ran sat at his desk thinking about the opening ceremony. Just thinking about it, Yan Shuo on the other side suddenly shouted: "Teacher Zhang, Teacher Zhang, Zhang Weiping scolded you when he was interviewed by the media!"

Zhang Ran was stunned: "Zhang Weiping scolded me, why did you scold me?"

Yan Shuo didn't explain, and directly handed over the laptop in his hand.

Zhang Ran looked at it, it turned out that some media visited the crew of "Golden Armor", and Zhang Weiping was also interviewed. In the interview, Zhang Weiping fired directly at Zhang Ran: "Li Man took "Golden Armor", what a good opportunity, but Zhang Ran didn't let him go, Li Man had no choice but to drop out of school, Zhang Ran was too much, and he was completely ruining the child's future. ”
