"At this moment in history, I am so excited! Come on, China! I am really very excited and enthusiastic to witness the moment when I am still young and to witness the moment when the motherland declares its strength to the world. So satisfying!"
"The whole opening ceremony was really great, it was very eye-catching from beginning to end, the surprises continued, the lighting of the flame was so handsome, I thought of everything that China encountered from the first day of the torch to today, I suddenly burst into tears!"
"When I watched the show, I was moved to tears, China is trying its best to show its image to the world, and China is welcoming all people with a sincere heart. I am proud and proud that I am Chinese! Come on China, come on the Beiping Olympics!"
Zhang Ran's Weibo and Fly accounts added tens of thousands of replies in less than half an hour, including Zhang Ran's friends at home and abroad, as well as many celebrities he didn't know, but the most were ordinary viewers who were uncontrollably excited after watching the show.
"Thank you Director Zhang Ran! When the torch is blazing, when the huge painting created by all the athletes with their footprints rises high, and the opening ceremony of Peking is perfectly presented to the world in an extremely stunning manner, what will your mood be?
"The opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games is wonderful, magnificent and exciting, allowing the world to witness the wisdom and creativity of the Chinese people, symbolizing the indisputable fact that the dream of the century-old rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has been realized and China's rise on the world stage. As an overseas Chinese, I am deeply proud! Zhang Ran, thank you!"
"Mr. Zhang Ran, I would like to express my gratitude to you for bringing unforgettable touches to people all over the world with your boundless imagination and directing talent at the opening ceremony. Thank you for showcasing Asia's outstanding culture to people around the world, and we look forward to the closing ceremony. I hope you don't take care of yourself during the long and arduous creative process. ”
Of course, not everyone will be happy about the success of the opening ceremony of the Beiping Olympics, such as Spielberg, such as Mia Faro, such as many guys who are full of malice towards China and hope that the Beiping Olympics will be messed up, they are undoubtedly very depressed at this moment.
The people of the London Olympic Organizing Committee are also very depressed, at this moment, the bird's nest is hot, but they are in the bird's nest but their hearts are cold, and everyone is looking sad.
Sebastian Coe, president of the London Olympic Committee, sighed deeply and said: "It's too strong, compared with the opening ceremony in Beiping, all the previous opening ceremonies have become tattered, what can we do to reach this level?"
Bill Morris is the director of London 8 Minutes, and he was very confident in his London 8 Minutes and felt that the show was very creative, but at the moment he felt that his show was just a pile of garbage, and he couldn't wait to cancel the performance, he hung his head and said: "I don't know, maybe we can find another way and take a completely different path from Beiping, but the director who can do this is not me." Sir, when the closing ceremony is over 8 minutes in London, I will resign as chief director, and you will find a new director!"
Bastian knows very well that Bill Morris is at a level, and it is impossible to come up with an opening ceremony that can be compared with Beiping, which has pulled the level of the opening ceremony too high, and if London can't come up with a corresponding opening ceremony, it will be mercilessly ridiculed by the whole world, and the British Empire can't afford to lose this person: "Do you have any suitable candidates?"
Bill Morris shook his head with a wry smile: "There is no such candidate, at least not in the UK, maybe Peter Jackson and Cameron can do it, but they will definitely not take it, maybe we can talk to Zhang Ran and see if he is willing to lead again!"
Bastian was stunned for a moment, then nodded, this is a solution!
At the same time, Zhang Ran and three other directors came to the main press center, where a press conference was waiting for them. However, the moment they walked into the main press center, the whole scene resounded with warm applause and cheers.
All the reporters present, whether Chinese or foreign, gave a standing ovation. The whole opening ceremony was so shocking that until this moment, their hearts were still full of blood, and they could only express their respect with applause.
After the end of the routine group visit, it was time to ask questions freely, and Zhang Ran, the chief director, was undoubtedly the most audience of the reporters, they seemed extremely enthusiastic, and the questions were thrown at him like a cannon, while the other three directors were relatively relaxed.
At tonight's ignition ceremony, not only the audience, but also the reporters were taken aback, and everyone was very curious about it. A French reporter asked: "Li Ning's climbing of domestic production makes me feel profound and has a beautiful impact." Ben climbing represents competition, progress, and the process of struggle, which I particularly like. However, there was a fall in the process of Li Ning's climbing, which made all the audience sweat, I want to ask Director Zhang Ran, is there really a problem, or is it deliberately arranged like this?"
Zhang Ran laughed proudly: "It was deliberately arranged, I just wanted to scare everyone, so that the ignition process was full of suspense, ups and downs! I was most worried about the whole opening ceremony tonight on two issues, one was whether it would rain, and the other was the ignition ceremony, but fortunately everything went very smoothly." Our biggest fear for the ignition ceremony is that the torch will fall, and if the torch falls, there really will be no chance of remedy. Therefore, we have a steel wire for the torch, but this steel wire is much thinner than the one hung on Li Ning's body, and it is difficult for the audience to see it with the naked eye. ”
A Reuters reporter asked: "Today's opening ceremony performance was very good, probably the most wonderful opening ceremony performance. What I want to ask Director Zhang Ran is, what is your biggest regret during the entire opening ceremony?
Zhang Ran thought for a while and said: "Actually, there are a lot of regrets, for example, the Bird's Nest was handed over to me too late, we only entered the Bird's Nest on June 20 to rehearse, if we can do it two months in advance, we can do better." However, if you want to say that the biggest regret, it should be that the funds are too small. Many people think that our funds are unlimited, and we can spend them as much as we want, and let whoever they want to come, but in fact this is not the case, the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games and the opening and closing ceremonies of the Paralympic Games, the total budget approved for us is 800 million yuan, and the money at the beginning of this year is really not enough, so we reported to the central government that only an additional 100 million yuan was added. There are two ideas that I really like, and everyone likes them, but I think it's a shame that they gave up due to financial problems!"
In the previous life, the opening and closing ceremonies of the Beiping Olympic Games and the opening and closing ceremonies of the Paralympic Games, the cost of the four ceremonies was 831 million, which was originally similar to London, but when the London Olympics were known, the cost of the opening ceremony of the Beiping Olympics became 300 times that of London, and then these people took this as an opportunity for a large number of Chinese to love face, overwhelmingly scolding Beiping for beating swollen faces and being fat, and spending taxpayers' money without feeling sorry for Yunyun.
With this lesson, Zhang Ran directly threw out the cost of the opening ceremony first, Lao Tzu see how you will spread rumors at that time!
Immediately, a reporter asked: "Congratulations on your successful opening ceremony." I'd like to ask, what's the most expensive show, and if you were asked to rate the opening team, how much would it be?"
Zhang Ran thought about it for a while, and said: "It should be a song with a tie, that thread is more expensive, and there are more than 2,000 faces, the cost of the thread alone is more than 10 million, plus the expenditure of the actors, more than 2,000 actors have been trained for half a year, a person has not much money for fifty dollars a day, a few bottles of water, a box of lunch, and a cold drink, it is 100,000 a day, and there are other expenses, the cost of the whole show is close to 40 million, but I think it is worth it, the song will become a classic, and it will exist in people's memories for many years!" Score the opening ceremony team, 99 points, deduct one point I'm afraid everyone will be proud!"
The Chinese reporters present burst into laughter when they heard this.
An Associated Press reporter asked: Which is more tiring than the chief director who is responsible for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games or the film?
Zhang Ran said in his heart This is not nonsense, do you still need to ask? smiled and said: Of course it is the opening ceremony, making a movie is more of a director's personal creation, and if it is smashed, it will be smashed, as long as my next movie is filmed, it can rise again. But the opening ceremony cannot be like this, it can only succeed, not fail. In the process of preparing and producing the opening ceremony, the physical fatigue is nothing at all, the main thing is the inner torment, sometimes people are about to collapse! But there is no way, but we can only carry it hard, grit our teeth and move forward, fortunately we carried it!"
A reporter from the Asahi Shimbun asked, "We all know that being the chief director is very stressful, and have you ever thought about failure in the middle of this?"
Zhang Ran smiled and said: "You may not know, my plastic surgery hospitals have been contacted, if it fails, I will go to plastic surgery and go into exile!" Zhang Ran saw that the reporters at the scene were stunned and looked at him, and immediately laughed: "Just kidding! I didn't think about this problem, I didn't dare to think about it, if I thought about it, then I really couldn't do it! But when I joked with everyone, if I booed after the performance, I wouldn't be able to go out at all, and I could only go to the British Islands at that time, and I would have to go there for the rest of my life." The common people really can't accept that you are embarrassing everyone tonight. We have now successfully completed the task, and now that we have an explanation for everyone, I can make movies with peace of mind!"
Immediately, a reporter asked: "Has the new film been planned, what genre, and when will it start?"
Zhang Ran blinked and said, "Keep it secret for the time being, you will know soon." Today we will only talk about the Olympics and nothing else!"
After the interview in the main news center, Zhang Ran did not get a chance to rest, and a series of interviews and TV shows were waiting for him. Even though he was tired, he still had to brace himself up for an interview. But what made Zhang Ran depressed was that everyone asked similar questions, and Zhang Ran had to repeat the same answer over and over again.
The round-the-wheel interview didn't end until six a.m., and he felt his brain ach for a while. In his opinion, it was even harder than the rehearsal of the opening ceremony, it was really tiring, and it was completely a mental torture.
By the time Zhang Ran got home, it was already 7 o'clock in the morning. While he fell on the bed, he didn't forget to remind Zhang Jingchu: "Daughter-in-law, call me at 9 o'clock, there will be a meeting at ten o'clock!"
