Chapter 607: I Can
Chief No. 1 was the last to come in, and after he entered, the meeting officially began. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
First of all, Zhang Heping made a work report on the work of the creative team of the opening ceremony in the past year. Zhang Heping's work report is relatively simple, and he knows that the key to this report is the plan report that Zhang Ran wants to make, and only when the plan has passed the examination and approval of the central authorities, can the work of the entire opening ceremony of the Olympic Games be pushed forward. Therefore, he must leave more time for Zhang Ran, so that Zhang Ran's statement of the plan can be more sufficient.
After Zhang Heping finished his work report, everyone's eyes were focused on Zhang Ran.
Zhang Ran was a little excited in his heart, after all, he had lived two lives, and the officials he saw didn't add up to this time. He took a breath, got up and came to the LED, and Zhang Jigang also came to the computer, gave Zhang Ran a positive look, and he could start reporting!
After a brief self-introduction, Zhang Ran began to report the plan: "This opening ceremony is very different from all kinds of large-scale performances in China in the past, the previous performances focused on showing strength, tenacity, and greatness; In the past 100 years or so, the Chinese nation has always felt very serious, very restrained, and very depressing. We believe that romance and fantasy can change the stereotype that foreigners have about us, and tell them that today's Chinese is not what they imagined......"
When Zhang Ran began to speak, Zhang Jigang also began to play the 3D storyboard. A dazzling halo illuminates the ancient sundial. In the center of the stadium, with a powerful blow, the 2008 ancient silk emitted a moving sound, and the white lights flashed in turn, combining the countdown numbers. In the thunderous sound, the central leaders were also silently counting down with the change of numbers: "10, 9, 8......"
When the animation of the song ended, the central leaders present were shocked, and even the No. 1 leader showed surprise and asked, "Xiao Zhang, can you really make this effect during the opening ceremony?"
Zhang Ran said confidently: "I can do it, and watching it on the spot will be more shocking than watching the big screen now!"
The leaders present all nodded slightly, and they were extremely satisfied with this show, the shock of this show was simply beyond their imagination, if it was described in one word, it was absolutely amazing.
The next show did not disappoint the leaders, 29 big footprints appeared in the sky, and the fantastic five rings were all amazing. Immediately afterwards, a cute little girl appeared in the LED and sang "Singing the Motherland" in a childish voice. Amid the crisp singing of girls, 56 children dressed in Chinese ethnic costumes entered the stadium with bright five-star red flags.
The little girl's immature singing voice infected every leader present, and even some people's eyes were moist, and they silently hummed the song in their hearts: "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......."
The next theatrical show kicked off with a Chinese painting scroll slowly opened, "Picture Scroll", "Movable Type", "Opera", "Silk Road", "Ritual Music", wonderful programs one after another, it was simply dizzying. Chinese elements, historical symbols, oriental colors, and the feelings buried in the heart of the century-old dream finally come true are appropriately expressed.
The leaders were extremely satisfied with the first half of the theatrical performance, and naturally looked forward to the second half even more.
While Zhang Ran was talking, he had been secretly observing the leaders' reactions, and he could see that the leaders were satisfied. However, he also knew that the surprise of the first half had whetted the appetite of the leaders, and everyone's expectations for the second half were high. He took a breath and said: "The second half is mainly to show the glorious movement of the contemporary era, but the second half is not easy to perform, because China's history of the last 100 years is a history of the Chinese nation's struggle to pursue national independence and national strength in the midst of foreign aggression and internal chaos, and it is also a history of blood and tears. There is a lack of culturally influential content in the world like the Four Great Inventions.
Our thinking is this, the most intuitive export of American culture to the outside world is Hollywood movies. Except for Hollywood movies, it is difficult for movies from other countries in the whole world to sell overseas, but there is one genre film that is almost unique to Chinese films, and at the same time it can really go abroad, that is, kung fu movies.
The North American film market is the most difficult market in the world to enter, and this difficulty does not mean that there are policy restrictions that prevent foreign films from entering, but that Hollywood is here, American audiences are basically not interested in foreign films, and there are very few foreign language films that have succeeded in North America. Among the top 10 foreign language films at the North American box office, Chinese-language films account for four, of which "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" ranks first, "Hero" ranks third, "Huo Yuanjia" ranks sixth, and "Kung Fu" ranks tenth, all of which are kung fu movies. ”
Hearing Zhang Ran mention his "Hero", Zhang Yimou's spirit was shocked, his waist stiffened, and the whole person was a step higher. Although "Hero" is not highly evaluated in China, it has a great influence overseas, and the recent "Spartan 300 Warriors" that is being screened in the United States has a scene of paying tribute to "Hero".
The leaders present were a little surprised to hear that Chinese films accounted for four of the top 10 seats. In the mid-90s, mainland films were almost extinct, and it was only from "Hero" that the hope of film revival was rediscovered.
A leader asked curiously, "Xiao Zhang, what about your movie?"
Zhang Ran said with a smile: "My movie is only "Time and Space Warrior" that has sold well in the world, but this movie is mainly in English, supplemented by Chinese. Other pure Chinese films do well in East Asia, but they are not outstanding in Europe and the United States. "The Aviator" is the best performer, with a Golden Globe and an Oscar effect, and even so, it only grosses more than 8 million at the box office in North America. ”
A leader said: "Then you should shoot more "Time and Space Warriors"!"
Zhang Ran felt that this was an opportunity, and suddenly let it go, showing a bitter expression and said: "The main thing is that science fiction films are not easy to pass the review, and science fiction films have a lot of investment, take "Time and Space Warrior" as an example, with an investment of 120 million US dollars. If the movie is filmed, but it can't pass the trial, then hundreds of millions of dollars of investment will be smashed inside!"
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the creative team were focused on Zhang Ran's body, and at the same time, his heart was also raised, Zhang Ran is usually very smart, how could he be so confused today?
Zhang Yimou looked at Zhang Ran dumbfounded, he heard his heart beating at a distance, and thought to himself that Zhang Ran was too reckless in what he said, this is the plan for the opening ceremony of the report, what are you doing with these digressions? Besides, after saying these things, aren't you afraid that the General Administration will give you small shoes to wear in the future?
While worrying about Zhang Ran, Zhang Yimou admired it in his heart, as an old filmmaker who has been in the film industry for 20 years, he knows that censorship restricts the development of Chinese films, he doesn't dare to say these words, but these words do need someone to say in front of the leader!
Who were the leaders present, where did Zhang Ran hide from them with that little bit of caution, and everyone's reactions were different, some were surprised, some were surprised, some frowned, and some smiled.
In November last year, Chief No. 1 put forward the concept of national soft power, proposing to enhance the international competitiveness of Chinese culture. Film is an important part of a country's culture, an important aspect of building a country's cultural imagination, and a part of a country's soft power.
The No. 1 leader attached great importance to Zhang Ran's words, looked at Zhang Ran, and smiled: "Then can you still make a movie with international influence like "Time and Space Warrior"?"
Zhang Ran held his head high and said, "I can!"
The No. 1 leader said: "Strengthening the construction of national cultural soft power is a major strategic task of the country in the future, and it is necessary to improve the international influence and competitiveness of Chinese culture and actively explore the international cultural market." The country is encouraged to enhance the international influence of Chinese culture and open up the international cultural market!"
Zhang Ran was overjoyed when he heard this: "We will definitely make more movies like this in the future, so that more domestic films can go out!"
The people in the creative team were relieved, and the leader not only did not dislike Zhang Ran for speaking regardless of the occasion, but gave a positive response, this kid is really lucky!
The leaders did not speak again, and Zhang Ran hurriedly continued the topic: "Kung fu movies are an important way for Chinese culture to be exported to the outside world, and there are many fans all over the world. ”
Zhang Jigang, who was in charge of playing the video, began to play the 3D storyboard of "Kung Fu".
A cloud of light lit up in the center of the pitch-black stage, and Cheng Long, who was wearing a black practice uniform, was getting drunk and boxing. Around Cheng Long is a circle of transparent LCD screens held by people, six or seven meters high. At the same time as Cheng Long was boxing, there were many light spots on the display screen flashing. Cheng Long's fists became bigger and faster, and there were more and more points of light, and finally they converged and turned into Bruce Lee.
After a video of Bruce Lee's movie, a bright light erupted in a corner of the stage, and then, Bruce Lee in white walked out.
Cheng Long's eyes widened suddenly, and he touched a fan from behind and fanned Bruce Lee, and said something in his mouth: "Demons and monsters leave quickly, demons and monsters leave quickly!"
Bruce Lee touched his nose speechlessly, walked up to Cheng Long, snatched the fan, knocked his head, took two steps back, beckoned Cheng Long, and put on a stance.
Cheng Long also put on a posture, and then slowly approached Bruce Lee and launched an attack. Two generations of kung fu superstars fought in the center of the stage. One of the characteristics of Cheng Long's movies is that he is always beaten badly every time he starts, and this time is no exception, he was beaten badly by Bruce Lee. However, after the fight, Cheng Long seemed to have found his senses, and the whole fight became intense.
While the two were fighting, 2006 actors dressed in blue came to the stage, formed a huge circle, and began to perform Tai Chi. In the atmosphere of ancient and mysterious oriental culture, this Tai Chi performance moves like thunder, is as still as water, and the sound is shocking and unpredictable.
Bruce Lee took a punch from Cheng Long, Cheng Long took a kick from Bruce Lee, and the two of them retreated, laughed, and then gave each other a hug. Immediately afterwards, the two walked to the team of 2006 actors and played Tai Chi with everyone.
A black circle more than five meters large appeared under Cheng Long's feet, and a white circle appeared under Bruce Lee's feet. One black and one white, stand out in the huge blue circle.
Suddenly, the picture flashed, and the tai chi performer's blue clothes disappeared and became black and white. The blue circle array becomes a huge Taiji diagram, and Cheng Long and Bruce Lee are the fisheyes of the Taiji diagram.
The Tai Chi performance continues, and as the actors move, the whole Tai Chi image comes alive, presenting a sense of flow, and the whole scene is extremely shocking, which is simply breathtaking.
The faces of the leaders present were all amazed, and they were all shocked by the cultural connotation and the magnificent momentum presented by the whole performance.
