Zhang Ran, Zhang Yimou, Zhang Jigang, and Chen Weiya walked onto the stage and stood in a row in the center of the stage, all with faint smiles on their faces. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoNo matter how dissatisfied Chen Weiya is with Zhang Ran in their hearts, it is impossible for them to show the slightest on this occasion.

The flashing lights in the audience continued to flicker, and the reporters desperately recorded this historic moment.

At this time, Liu Jingming, who presided over the ceremony, announced loudly: "Comrade Liu Qi is requested to present Mr. Zhang Yimou with a letter of appointment as the chief director of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Beiping Olympic Games!"

Hearing that Zhang Yimou was the chief director, many reporters present shook their heads slightly, worried that the eight-minute tragedy in Athens would be repeated.

It is true that Athens shows Chinese things in eight minutes, but these are China's past, not representative of modern China, and what the audience wants to show most is modern China, the spiritual outlook of the current Chinese. The reason why Athens was scolded so badly in eight minutes is that the modern China that everyone wants to see most is not reflected in the slightest.

A reporter whispered: "Zhang Ran is too young, Zhang Yimou is indeed more suitable to be the chief director, as long as he doesn't engage in thigh-baring performances anymore." ”

The reporter next to him said: "Zhang Ran understands the audience better, and he should be reminded." ”

Liu Qi walked on the stage, shook hands with Zhang Yimou with a smile, handed the letter of appointment of the chief director of the opening ceremony to Zhang Yimou, and then the two faced the reporters together and waited for them to take pictures.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Jingmin announced again: "Comrade Liu Qi is requested to present Mr. Zhang Ran with a letter of appointment as the chief director of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Beiping Olympic Games!"

There was a commotion in the media at the scene, and everyone was stunned.

Zhang Ran is also the chief director, two chief directors!

The opening ceremony of the Peking Olympics will be co-directed by Zhang Ran and Zhang Yimou!

This fact is a bit unbelievable, the chief director is usually one, but this time there are two, which is really surprising.

However, Zhang Ran and Zhang Yimou, the co-director, relieved many reporters who were worried about the appearance of red lanterns, red jackets, thighs and other elements at the opening ceremony, and Zhang Ran would definitely not let these older elements appear on the stage of the opening ceremony.

Liu Qi shook hands with Zhang Ran, and patted Zhang Ran's shoulder to show encouragement. The co-director method is actually very unfair to Zhang Ran, who should have been the only candidate for the chief director.

After the second round of bidding for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, the eight judges scored each of the five teams, and the scoring content was refined into 22 items. Among them, Zhang Yimou's team scored the highest in the traditional Chinese cultural elements, Chen Weiya's team scored the highest in the contemporary style, Zhang Ran's team scored the highest in the performance of world culture, and the PLA team led by Zhang Jigang scored the highest in technical implementation. Each team has its own strengths, and finally the scores of the 22 items are added up, and the highest total score is Zhang Ran's team, Zhang Yimou's team ranks second, the PLA team ranks third, Chen Weiya's team ranks fourth, and the Gehua team led by Li An ranks fifth.

According to the review results, Zhang Ran is the best candidate for the chief director, but many leaders have expressed opposition to this result, not because they have any opinion on Zhang Ran himself, mainly because Zhang Ran is too young. The age and seniority of the people in various departments of the Olympic Organizing Committee are above Zhang Ran, and it is really difficult to convince the public to make him the chief director.

There are also leaders who proposed that Zhang Ran is young and vigorous, and the blocking incident some time ago shows that he has problems in handling interpersonal relationships, and the chief director of the opening ceremony needs to deal with people from all walks of life, must know how to compromise, and must know how to deal with various relationships, otherwise there will be chaos.

The leaders present felt that these objections were reasonable, and that in the process of bidding for the Olympic Games, there were situations in which some departments did not cooperate. When submitting the report on the Olympic bid, many departments need to seal it, but some departments deliberately delay and do not give the seal. It has been delayed until the Olympic bid report is about to be closed, and the Olympic Organizing Committee is so anxious that it jumps to its feet, and if it fails to submit the Olympic bid report on time, all its hard work will be in vain. The Olympic Organizing Committee had no other way but to take the matter to the prime minister, and finally the prime minister personally gave instructions to resolve the matter. Zhang Ran's qualifications are too shallow, and things like making him the chief director may emerge endlessly.

Some leaders suggested that Zhang Yimou be the chief director and Zhang Ran should be the deputy. However, there are more voices against Zhang Yimou, and the eight-minute lesson in Athens is too painful. Next, some leaders proposed Zhang Jigang and Chen Weiya, but the opposition was even louder.

The Olympic Organizing Committee held several meetings, but the selection of the chief director could not be decided, and it was delayed until the beginning of April. In the end, Liu Qi thought of a solution: "Zhang Yimou and Zhang Ran have obvious advantages, but they both have shortcomings, I think it is better to let them co-be the chief director, and they will jointly plan it, and let Zhang Jigang and Chen Weiya be the deputy chief directors, so that their respective advantages can be brought into play." ”

The time is already early April, and the selection of the chief director really can't be delayed any longer. After discussion, the Organizing Committee of the Olympic Games made a simple division of the work of the director group.

Zhang Ran's team has the strongest innovation ability and the strongest comprehensive strength, and served as the chief planner of the opening ceremony.

Zhang Yimou's team is good at Chinese cultural expression and has the greatest influence, and co-ordinated with Zhang Ran as the chief planner of the opening ceremony.

Zhang Jigang's team is good at classical song and dance performances, mainly responsible for the classical song and dance part of the opening ceremony and the opening ceremony of the Paralympic Games.

Chen Weiya's team is good at the expression of modern Chinese literature and art, and is responsible for the modern song and dance part of the opening ceremony and the closing ceremony of the Paralympic Games.

As for who is responsible for the opening ceremony and who is responsible for the closing ceremony, the Olympic Organizing Committee will conduct a more in-depth investigation of the two of them, and wait until the opening ceremony plan is submitted to the central government for approval at the beginning of next year and will be reviewed by the central leadership before making a decision.

The leader's idea is very clear, if Zhang Yimou performs better in this process, Zhang Ran naturally has nothing to say; if Zhang Ran performs better, then his ability should have conquered the other members of the team, and his prestige will be erected, and there is no situation where the command is not moving.

Either way, it's the best choice!

After Liu Qi issued letters of appointment to Zhang Jigang and Chen Weiya, the members of the director team took turns to come forward to express their employment speeches.

When it was Zhang Ran's turn, he walked to the microphone and said calmly: "Today is the most unforgettable day in my life, and it is a supreme honor to be hired as the chief director of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games." I know that the burden on my shoulders is not the expectation of 1.3 billion people, but the expectation of several generations in the past 100 years, but I will put down my burden and work with the entire director team to do the best of the opening ceremony, so as to live up to the trust of the Beiping Olympic Organizing Committee, the entrustment and expectations of the people of the whole country, and the attention and expectations of people from all walks of life around the world for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Beiping Olympic Games!"

After the letter of appointment ceremony, the domestic and foreign media released the news as soon as possible.

Subsequently, the whole Internet was hotly discussed, and most netizens expressed their support for Zhang Ran as the chief director, but they complained about Zhang Yimou.

"Support Zhang Ran, we hope to see a good work that reflects the spirit of China!"

"Why is there Zhang Yimou again, the opening ceremony must not be another red lantern, it's cold to think about. ”

"I support Zhang Ran, Zhang Yimou is getting worse and worse, and now he just has to make money. Look at the Chinese part of Zhang Yimou's Athens closing, neither Chinese nor Western, neither native nor foreign, so disgusting!"

"Hey, have you watched the propaganda video for the Olympic bid? Have you seen the impression of Liu Sanjie? Have you seen Turandot? If you haven't seen it, don't talk crookedly here! Who is more imposing than Lao Mouzi? Who has a broader vision and mind than him? He and his partner are the ones who will do it!"

Some netizens also expressed concern about the co-director: "Zhang Yimou and Zhang Ran are both excellent, but after all, they are two generations, and there are great differences in concepts and aesthetics.

At the same time, Zhang Jingchu was walking around the room with the appointment letter of the chief director, thinking about putting the certificate there, in her eyes, the certificate of the chief director of the Olympic Games is much more valuable than the trophy of the Golden Lion Award. There are many Golden Lion awards, but there are only a handful of directors who can direct the Olympic Games.

And Zhang Ran was sitting on the sofa, talking on the phone with his father Zhang Zhimin. Since he left the Olympic Building, there have been no congratulatory calls and text messages along the way, including Feng Yuanyi's friends, Wu Ruide and his subordinates, Zhang Ran's students, and Liu Yifei's apprentices.

On the phone, Zhang Zhimin advised: "The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games is not trivial, you must work hard, and you must not slack off!"

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "It's not sure who will officially direct the opening ceremony, maybe I'm directing the closing ceremony!"

Zhang Zhimin said: "No matter the opening ceremony or the closing ceremony, you must do a good job!"

Zhang Ran saluted, "Yes, father!" and then asked, "My mother should be happy, right?"

Zhang Zhimin laughed when he heard this: "She just told me that she was going back to her hometown on the weekend to go to your grandfather's grave, and now you will glorify your ancestors." ”

Zhang Ran couldn't help laughing, mom is so funny!

Two minutes after Zhang Ran hung up his father's phone, another call came in, it was Zhao Guoqiang, secretary of the Tangshan Municipal Party Committee.

"Zhang Ran, congratulations on becoming the chief director of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, it's really not easy!" Zhao Guoqiang congratulated Zhang Ran with a smile.

"Thank you, Secretary Zhao, I will go all out and never live up to everyone's expectations of me!" Zhang Ran replied politely.

"I believe that you will definitely come up with a high-level opening ceremony! I called you in addition to congratulations, but also want to ask about the movie, can the movie start on time?" Zhao Guoqiang absolutely raised his hands to support Zhang Ran as the chief director of the Olympic Games, the greater Zhang Ran's fame, the greater the attention that the movie about the earthquake will receive. However, the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games is too big, and he is worried that Zhang Ran will unload the burden of director and replace him to lead the earthquake. If the film is directed by a different person, the publicity effect will definitely be greatly reduced, especially overseas, which he does not want to see.

"Please rest assured that the earthquake will definitely be filmed on time, and the film will be done well with quality and quantity. Zhang Ran gave an affirmative answer, if he could only choose one between directing the earthquake and directing the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, he would definitely choose the earthquake.

"I believe in your ability!" Zhao Guoqiang was relieved when he heard Zhang Ran say this, and hung up the phone after briefly asking about the preparations for the movie.

Zhang Ran put down his mobile phone, and saw that Zhang Jingchu was still walking around the room with the letter of appointment, and couldn't help but say: "Daughter-in-law, don't turn around, my head is dizzy from you!"

The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games has attracted great attention, and the "News Network" in the evening is naturally the focus of the report.

"This news, this morning, the Beiping Olympic Organizing Committee held the 29th Olympic Games opening and closing ceremonies of the main staff letter of appointment ceremony, officially announced the opening and closing ceremonies of the Beijing Olympic Games creative team, the famous director Zhang Yimou and Zhang Ran jointly served as the chief director, the famous master of Chinese culture Ji Xianlin, the famous American film director Spielberg and many other Chinese and foreign famous artists as cultural and artistic consultants, please see the details below......"
