Chapter 682 - Shocking
The more than 90,000 spectators at the Bird's Nest took out the light sticks and waved them lightly in their hands. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The bright light on the info glow stick is dazzling and suffocating, and the black bird's nest is embellished with light sticks, like a galaxy.
Suddenly, a dazzling fireworks flame ignited around the bowl of the Bird's Nest, making a circle around the stadium, lighting up the ancient sundial, and then a firework reflected off a corner of the stadium, activating the huge array in the center of the field.
Accompanied by the sound of low drums, square spots of light swept the audience one by one, turning into a huge phalanx; 2008 bronze threads emitted an ancient sound, striking the audience, and the majestic momentum made the whole world tremble; 2008 young men over 1.8 meters tall, while tapping the noodles, led to sing: "There are friends from afar, I am happy!"
Zhang Ran on the command platform quietly looked at everything in front of him, his expression was very solemn. He is not worried about the performance at all, these 2,008 actors are soldiers drawn from the five military regions, and they practice from the snowy winter, to the spring when the wind and sand are raging, and then to the scorching summer, and the movements are absolutely uniform
Zhang Ran's only worry is the expression, after all, they are warriors, it is usually impossible to be hippie and smile, and the whole performance conveys that Hou Heping, is Chinese hospitality, he does not want to give people a murderous feeling, reminded: "Jigang, remind everyone to keep smiling!"
Zhang Jigang immediately issued an instruction through the headset: "The expression should be relaxed and enthusiastic, and the smile should be maintained!"
Sandra Meschberger, the host of German television, has been talking about politics for a long time, what human rights, environmental problems, freedom, every two sentences will appear a criticism of the opening ceremony. The current performance allowed her to find new evidence, and she said excitedly: "You can see it, this is a militarized opening ceremony, and many of the actors who perform are military personnel, and they have been training in recent months. The performance tonight could have been great, impressive, technically perfect, but the whole show was emotionless and too cold for me!"
Suddenly, the actors all stood still, raising their heads slightly, as if waiting for something. At this moment, whether it was the scene or the audience in front of the TV, they also felt something, and their heartstrings suddenly tightened.
It was a few seconds, but it seemed like a few years, and then the actors finally moved and beat the drum hard. The lights on the veils joined together to form two huge numbers, one "60" and the other Chinese "sixty", and then the numbers changed to fifty and then forty......
The whole world, hundreds of millions of viewers were stunned by this huge countdown, and even the TV host who had been chattering crookedly was also dumbfounded, and was as quiet as a chicken at this moment.
When the number on the silk page became ten, the Chinese audience began to count down hoarsely, and countless viewers throughout China were also counting down: "10!9!8!7!6......"
In Tokyo, veteran director Yoji Yamada laughed heartily after watching this magnificent countdown: "Zhang Sang is really a genius, and he has done a very beautiful job! Only director Akira Kurosawa can direct such a scene in Japan! It's a pity that there is no such magnificent director in Japan now! Sbarassi (so wonderful)! Sbarassy!"
In New York, Ang Lee and his wife Lin Huijia are sitting in front of the TV watching the broadcast. Lin Huijia was shocked: "Zhang Ran is really powerful, this countdown is so good, I feel like my breathing is about to stop!"
Li An nodded slightly: "With such a countdown, the Peking Olympics will definitely be remembered by history." However, the opening momentum is so vast and shocking, it must not be loosened in the back, there must be a shocking enough program, otherwise everyone will feel that it is a challenge for Zhang Ran and them!"
The lights of the Bird's Nest went out, and the huge fireworks footprints in the sky came step by step from Yongding Gate to the Bird's Nest, and the 29 fireworks footprints symbolized the 29th Olympic Games, symbolizing the Olympic Games step by step to Beiping and into the Bird's Nest.
The 29th fireworks footprint exploded in the sky above the bird's nest, turning into dots of stars scattered in the center of the bird's nest, and quickly condensed on the ground, forming a star-like five rings. In the darkness, the flying fairy with a white light slowly flew from the sky, as if a real fairy was in the dust, and her clothes floated and came with Nana.
A little foreign girl took her mother's hand and asked, "Mommy, is that an elf?"
Each audience member will receive a gift package with a brief description of the program and a corresponding introduction to the content and background of the program. The little girl's mother explained: "This is the flying fairy in Chinese mythology, symbolizing auspiciousness and peace, similar to the muses in our mythology, they ......" Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly lost her voice and cried out: "My God!"
At the same time, the entire scene resounded with an exclamation of "wow", and countless people were stunned by the magical scene in front of them. The five rings of the stars, which were originally lying flat on the ground, suddenly seemed to be magically applied, gently lifted from the ground, and slowly rose from the ground into the air.
The little girl Fang Yan was stunned, and she paused for a few seconds before turning her head and asking the girl next to her, "Big sister, how did you do this?"
The girl next to her also looked stupid and muttered, "I don't know, how did this happen?"
The old man Zhang Zhengwu looked at the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's incredible, it's like magic!"
Not only them, but also at home and abroad, in front of TV, and on the Internet, countless people are exclaiming: "It's amazing, how did you do this? How did the five rings erect?"
Before everyone could recover from the amazement of the dream five rings, the lights of the audience turned on again, and Lin Miaoke, who was wearing a red dress, appeared in front of the audience. Among the two children Lin Miaoke and Yang Peiyi, Zhang Ran finally chose Lin Miaoke.
In this case, the voice does not come first, the image does. It's like singing a song, and the actors chant "It's fun to have friends from afar", which is chanted in the Nishikawa dialect, but how many people can hear it? That's what they want. Although Lin Miaoke sings averagely, her image is better and more generous, and her voice effect is okay after trimming.
Lin Miaoke's singing resounded in the bird's nest: "The five-star red flag flutters in the wind, how loud the victory song is, singing about our dear motherland, from now on to prosperity, prosperity and strength......"
Outside the Bird's Nest, from the Sanlitun bar to the magic capital Huaihai Road, from the Xichuan disaster area to the university dormitory in Lingnan, from the Chinatown in Yokohama to Chinatown in New York, countless people with red eyes were singing this song: "The five-star red flag is fluttering in the wind, how loud the victory song is, singing about our dear motherland, from now on to prosperity, prosperity and strength......
In the past 100 years, this nation has experienced too many humiliations, too many tribulations, and even faced the crisis of extinction of the country and species, and finally relied on the efforts of countless people with lofty ideals, step by step from poverty and backwardness, from the abyss of the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species, step by step to today!
A hundred years of Olympics, a hundred years of dreams, the Chinese have waited for a hundred years, and finally waited for this day!
At this moment, in the singing of "Singing the Motherland", countless people wet their eyes and countless people burst into tears.
As the poem says: Why do I always have tears in my eyes?
The dreamlike scroll slowly unfolds, revealing 5,000 years of history before the audience's eyes. In the sound of the elegant and distant guqin, the black-clothed dancers flew on the white paper, as if there was an invisible hand splashing ink, drawing a Chinese ink painting on the huge white paper; then 810 scholars holding bamboo slips recited "all brothers in the four seas" and "there must be my teacher in the three-person line", and 897 movable type printing plates transformed the "and" characters in different fonts and the winding and towering Great Wall......
The audience was shocked again and again, in addition to being shocked, it was still shocking!
NBC host Bob Custer couldn't help but say, "The shocking performances are one after another, it's really beautiful, it's so shocking, it's really a masterpiece!"
Mante Lauer also had to sing a hymn: "Zhang Ran once said that this would be an unseen and unheard of performance, he really did it, I have never seen such a shocking performance!"
A huge board was hoisted to the center of the stage, the whole board was rectangular, more than twenty meters long, and covered with patterns. Many viewers at the scene have never seen this, they don't know what it is, and they are talking about "what is this" and "what will be played next". The old man Zhang Zhengwu slapped his thigh: "Ouch, this is not a drama, this is a singing!"
As soon as Zhang Zhengwu's words fell, the excerpts of the play were slowly opened, a folding stage in the shape of paper-cutting slowly stood up, and the two actors from Kunming District stepped onto the stage and began to perform. Seeing this magical scene, almost everyone was wow. The situation in front of us reminds many people of the greeting card they received when they were young, as soon as the greeting card is opened, a three-dimensional Christmas tree will appear inside.
However, the two actors sang for less than a minute, and then walked off the stage, and then a new page was turned in the play, and the troupe that had just performed was folded, and a completely different paper-cut stage appeared in front of the audience.
Two Huangmei opera actors walked onto the stage and began to sing the classic "Tianxian Pei". A minute later, the excerpt flipped for the third time, and a larger stage appeared in front of the audience, and at the same time, at the back of the stage, a tulle was erected, and two lights hit the tulle from the front of the stage.
The drums beat and a group of Peking Opera performers took to the stage to begin their performances. In this way, from the front, it is a Peking Opera performance, but from the back, only the silhouette on the tulle can be seen, and the Peking Opera performance becomes a shadow puppet performance, and the two completely different arts of Peking Opera and shadow puppetry are perfectly combined.
Countless Chinese viewers were stunned, thinking it was incredible, and felt that this idea was too good!
In distant Hungary, Schütz-Zordan watched in amazement. He is the head of a small dance company, and there are many dance companies like theirs in Hungary and Europe, and it is often difficult to stand out due to the lack of personal characteristics, and it is very difficult to survive.
At this moment, the shadow puppet performance on the Olympic stage ignited the fire of inspiration in his heart, and after a few seconds, he shouted: "This is this, this is this, this is what I want, shadow dance!"
A few years later, Schütz Zoldan and his troupe took the world by storm with a shadow dance on Britain's Got Talent, winning the Got Talent and participating in the annual Royal Performing Arts Show. After that, they came to China with dance to participate in the Spring Festival Gala.
In an interview with Chinese media, Schutz said sincerely: "I hope Mr. Zhang Ran and the directors of the Olympic Games can see this dance, I hope they can like it, and I am very happy to be able to return to its hometown with this dance!"
Zhang Ran didn't know all this, at the moment he was standing on the podium, listening to the applause and cheers in the bird's nest, with a relieved smile on his face, he, like many people, joined the opening ceremony team in the hope of making the whole performance better, and for now, he did it.
However, Zhang Ran did not feel relaxed by the success in front of him, the performance was only half an hour into the beginning, and no one knew what would happen later.
