July 31, 2005, the deadline for the submission of proposals for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

At 9 o'clock in the morning, the Qinglan Building at No. 24, East 40 Tiao, Beiping, where the Olympic Organizing Committee is located, is a busy scene. The Cultural Activities Department of the Olympic Organizing Committee is the department responsible for bidding for the program, and it is even busier, and Minister Wang Lin keeps arranging work. The leakage of Zhang Ran's team's plan has sounded the alarm for everyone, and the confidentiality work must not be just lip service, otherwise it is easy to have problems.

So far, the Organising Committee has received nearly 400 bids, but all of them have been auditions. In fact, the Olympic Organizing Committee's audition is just a formality, and in order to enhance the sense of participation of the masses, the opening ceremony is too professional, and it is almost impossible for ordinary people to make high-level plans. The Organising Committee of the Olympic Games also did not have much hope for the audition plan, focusing on the 12 proposals for the targeted solicitation.

At 9:10, the first proposal of the targeted solicitation was delivered, and it was a team of overseas artists led by Cai Guoqiang. The entire team includes 8 New York artists, including Cai Guoqiang, Ma Wen and Tan Dun.

Cai Guoqiang and the others also understand that the country is unlikely to hand over the power of directing to themselves, and they said at the beginning of the bidding that they are not the chief director, they just want to participate in it and help the opening ceremony be more artistic, more international, and more contemporary.

Not long after Cai Guoqiang's team left, the People's Liberation Army team appeared in the Cultural Activities Department, and several of the bidders were soldiers, all wearing military uniforms, heroic and compelling, and the little girl in the Cultural Activities Department had stars in her eyes.

At 9:40, the tender for the joint team of Zhang Yimou and Jack Morton was delivered. Zhang Yimou himself did not appear, and the bid was sent by the team's staff.

At 10 o'clock, the phone in the office of the Cultural Activities Department rang, and it was the person in charge of the Gehua team who called: "How many teams have submitted plans?"

"3 houses!"

"3, got it, we're almost there. ”

After more than ten minutes, the phone rang again, and it was a call from the Chinese performance team: "How many plans have you received? 3 copies, we are on the way, and we will be there soon." ”

One morning, the phone calls came one after another, all of them came to inquire about a few companies that had submitted plans, and they all said that they were on the road and were about to arrive, but they couldn't wait for anyone to come. The people in the Cultural Activities Department are a little confused, what's going on? The traffic jam in Beiping hasn't reached this level, right?

In the café next to the Blue Building.

Chen Weiya, the head of the joint team of the National Song and Dance Troupe, CCTV, and Beiao Company, was crooked in a chair, holding a coffee cup in his hand, and was chatting with Wang Jianqi, the leader of the Gehua team.

The two teams had already arrived at the Blue Building, but neither of them sent their bids to the Olympic Organizing Committee. Today, the Olympic Organizing Committee has received 3 bids, and if they send it, it must be the 4th, 4 is the same as death, in order to please a good mouth, no one wants to be the 4th, and they are worried that the 4th bid will be dead.

In fact, not only them, but also several teams have already arrived, and they don't want to be the fourth to submit bids, so they stay in the café nearby.

Chen Weiya took a sip of coffee and said slowly: "To be honest, I always thought that this bidding would be between Zhang Yimou's team, the People's Liberation Army team, your Gehua Group, and our four teams. However, I was really surprised to see the plan leaked by Zhang Ran's team on the Internet yesterday, and I didn't expect them to do it to this extent. I still underestimate the heroes of the world, and this time the bidding is probably more fierce than I imagined!"

Wang Jianqi smiled faintly: "Yes, we were also shocked when we saw that plan." They combine traditional culture and modern art very well. In particular, the idea of "Words" is really ingenious, and it is a perfect fusion of modern technology and traditional Chinese culture. Ang Lee particularly liked this idea and thought that it would be a highlight at the opening ceremony, but unfortunately it was exposed. However, it is not surprising that Zhang Ran was able to come up with such a plan, their bidding team is not weaker than anyone!"

Chen Weiya knew that Zhang Ran was bidding together with the Opera and Dance Theater, but the Opera and Dance Theater was not as good as the National Song and Dance Troupe and the Gehua Group in this kind of large-scale square art, otherwise the Olympic Organizing Committee would not have looked for them. Hearing Wang Jianqi say this, he was a little surprised: "What's the matter, Zhang Ran has found a lot of powerful helpers?"

Wang Jianqi nodded slightly: "I found a batch from China, and then a batch from the United States." Several of them were prepared by Ang Lee, but Zhang Ran started first. Including architect Lin Ying, Atlanta Olympics chief director Don Michel, Athens Olympics lighting designer Bob Dickinson and others. ”

Chen Weiya suddenly realized: "No wonder, the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games is a very professional work, Zhang Ran has no such experience at all, I said how can he come up with such an excellent plan, it turns out that there are so many high-level staff! It's a pity that their plan has been exposed, even if they can get the plan out again in two days, it will be too late to make a bid!"

Meanwhile, in the conference room of the Shangri-La Hotel, Zhang Ran was having a meeting with his team members. There is a problem with the plan, and it is likely that it will not be completed.

Han Lixun looked at Zhang Ran and said with a solemn expression: "There are too many things involved in 'The Great Wall Bright Moon', and the show is too complicated, I'm afraid it won't be finished! What should I do now? Do you want to give up this show?"

Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhang Ran's face, this matter is very difficult to choose, removing "The Great Wall Moon" is not just as simple as one less show. "Spring River Flower Moon Night" is about the south of the Yangtze River, and "The Great Wall Bright Moon" is about the northern culture, one south and one north in terms of geography. In addition, this show carries a lot of Chinese elements, the Great Wall, terracotta warriors, and border feelings. Remove this show, the whole plan is incomplete, there are major flaws, and there is almost no chance of winning when it is put into the bid!

If "The Bright Moon of the Great Wall" is retained, it is likely that it will be too late and the bidding will not be completed. If the bids are not sent to the Organising Committee on time, all efforts will be in vain.

Zhang Ran was really worried, his face was full of entanglement, and he kept grabbing his hair, it was really difficult to choose. It's just that time is limited, and there is not much time for Zhang Ran to weigh at all, he must make a choice as soon as possible.

After a simple trade-off, Zhang Ran made up his mind!

Tong Ruirui saw that Zhang Ran's eyes were gradually firm, knowing that he had made a decision, and asked, "Zhang Ran, what should we do?"

Zhang Ran said categorically: "The deadline for bidding is 4 o'clock. It is at least 40 minutes drive from us to Qinglan Mansion. If you can't finish "The Bright Moon of the Great Wall" before half past two, you will give up this show! But now is not the time to give up, everyone continue!"

Zhang Ran is the core of the whole team, and at this critical moment, he needs to make a final decision, since he has made up his mind, then everyone will naturally follow his ideas, and everyone will start to move and continue the related work of "The Great Wall and Bright Moon".

By 3 p.m., 9 of the 12 teams of the Olympic Organizing Committee had submitted bids, and Chen Kaige, Paige Taihe's team, and Zhang Ran's team had not yet appeared.

At 3:10, Chen Kaige appeared in the cultural activities department and handed over the bid to Wang Lin. After accepting the invitation of the Olympic Organizing Committee, Chen Kaige personally handwrote a set of creative plans to express his feelings for the Olympics.

At 3:40, the Paig Taihe team finally appeared. Sun Jianjun, the president of Paige Taihe, personally sent the tender to Wang Lin. Wang Lin breathed a sigh of relief: "Why did you come here? We thought you wouldn't be able to catch up!"

Sun Jianjun wiped the sweat on his head and said: "There are too many things to print, two colleagues worked all night in a row, and it took two o'clock to finish printing, and then binding, and then put it in a specially customized iron box and sent it over." Why hasn't the team sent it?"

Wang Lin said solemnly: "The bid of Zhang Ran's team has not been delivered yet!"

Sun Jianjun has been busy in the dark for the past two days, and he doesn't know about the leakage of the bid: "It may be on the way, it should be delivered soon, the Olympic Games bidding has taken a lot of effort, and no one can miss it!"

At this time, Zhang Ran was about to go crazy, and he pressed the horn very anxiously. Not far ahead, two cars collided, and the two drivers quarreled, causing a traffic jam. Zhang Ran originally wanted to turn around, but the car behind him came too fast and was blocked by the cars that followed, so he couldn't turn around at all, and it didn't work at all to make a detour.

At this moment, Zhang Ran saw the police car coming, immediately rushed out of the car, and informed the police on duty of the situation, hoping to get help and let him send the bid to the Olympic Organizing Committee as soon as possible. The police recognized Zhang Ran, and the two quarreling drivers also recognized Zhang Ran. In the past two days, the leakage of Zhang Ran's team's bidding documents has caused a lot of trouble, and almost everyone knows about it.

When the two arguing drivers heard that they had blocked the car delivering the Olympic bids, they were a little embarrassed and stopped. They first apologized to Zhang Ran, and then confessed their mistake to the police: "Comrade policeman, the Olympics are important, you should send Zhang Ran and them down quickly! We will report to the traffic police force ourselves!"

"That's right, the Olympics is a big deal, we are a small matter, you can send Zhang Ran down quickly!"

The police glanced at the two drivers, and immediately drove the police car to blow the horn to open the way, letting Zhang Ran follow behind, and ran all the way towards the Qinglan Building.

At 3:55, there were only 5 minutes left before the deadline, and Zhang Ran's team still did not appear.

Wang Lin couldn't see any expression on his face, but his fingers kept tapping on the tabletop, showing his inner unpeace.

Wei Yufen, who was in charge of the liaison work, looked at the time, looked at Wang Lin and asked, "Minister Wang, can you extend the time?" I contacted Zhang Ran and them just now, they have already set off, and they will definitely come over!"

Wang Lin glanced at Wei Yufen and shook his head slowly: "No! This is an Olympic competition, not a child's play." How many pairs of eyes are staring at us all over the world, and if we extend the time for Zhang Ran's team, what will people think of us? This must not be done!"

"But Zhang Ran's leaked ideas are so good, it is entirely possible for them to come up with a better plan, if they can't join the Olympic team, it's really a pity!"

"No way. Rules are rules!!"

As the minutes passed, the entire cultural activities department became restless, like ants on a hot pot, fidgeting.

"It's only a minute before the deadline, Zhang Ran and they probably won't be able to catch up!" Wei Yufen looked at the clock on the wall and sighed slightly. Zhang Ran is obviously so good, and their plan is obviously so good, but it was leaked, it's really a pity!

The entire Cultural Activities Department sighed, their eyes fixed on the wall clock on the wall. The whole office was silent, and everyone was counting down to the beating of the hands, like a countdown to the new year. The clicking sound of the hands beating is like a horse's hooves stepping on the hearts of everyone, making it difficult to breathe.

At this moment, the sound of snapping footsteps sounded, and then a young man appeared at the door with a red cardboard box in his arms, and he was like a bolt of lightning, rushing towards Wang Lin.

The entire cultural activities department was shocked, and many people stood up, and the person who came was none other than Zhang Ran.

Zhang Ran rushed to Wang Lin with lightning speed, and put the thick tender in his hand on the shelf: "The tender of Nortel, Opera and Dance Theater, and the Century Summit Joint Team." Zhang Ran looked at the big clock on the wall and asked, "We're not late, are we?"

Wang Lin glanced up at the clock and said with a slight smile: "It's 15:59:45, your bid is valid!" )
