Chapter 894

Today's opening ceremony performance made everyone fascinated, as reporters, they have too many questions for the entire opening ceremony, and they want Song Zheng to answer.

Especially at the ignition ceremony tonight, not only the audience, but also the reporters were taken aback, everyone was very curious about this, a French reporter asked: "Li Ning's climbing process, let me feel profound, and there is a beautiful impact, climbing represents competition, is progress, is the process of struggle, I like it very much, but Li Ning climbed in the process of a fall, so that all the audience pinched a sweat, I want to ask Director Song Zheng, is there really a problem, or is it deliberately arranged like this?"

Song Zheng arrived at this moment, and he was completely relaxed, and he laughed a little proudly when he heard the words: "It is indeed deliberately arranged, I just want to scare everyone, so that the ignition process is full of suspense, ups and downs, I am most worried about the whole opening ceremony tonight There are two questions, one is whether it will rain, and the other is the ignition ceremony, fortunately everything is very smooth, that pause, I want to express through this pause that the process of human exploration will never be smooth sailing, I don't know if this answer, Mr. Reporter is satisfied?"

A Reuters reporter asked: "Today's opening ceremony performance is very exciting, probably the most wonderful opening ceremony performance, I want to ask Director Song Zheng, what is your biggest regret in the entire opening ceremony?"

Song Zheng thought for a while and said: " In fact, there are a lot of regrets, but now everything has passed, there is no point in us to entangle, here, I want to clarify one thing, many people think that our funds are unlimited, how to spend how you want, let whoever you want to come, in fact, this is not the case, the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games plus the opening and closing ceremonies of the Paralympics, the total budget approved to us is only 800 million yuan, the money is not enough at the beginning of this year, to report to the Olympic Organizing Committee, only to add 100 million, there are a few I particularly like the creativity, everyone also likes it, but due to the funding problem finally gave up, I think it is a pity！”

In the previous life, the opening and closing ceremonies of the Yanjing Olympic Games and the opening and closing ceremonies of the Paralympic Games, the total cost of the four ceremonies was 831 million, which was originally similar to London, but when the London Olympics came, those boring public knowledge mouths, the cost of the opening ceremony of the Yanjing Olympic Games 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 China for beating swollen faces and being fat, spending taxpayers' money without feeling sorry for Yunyun.

Since he knew that there would be people who were full and had nothing to do, Song Zheng simply threw out the cost of the opening ceremony first, just to block the mouths of those people, Lao Tzu to see how you will BB when the time comes!

Immediately, a reporter asked: "First of all, congratulations on the success of the opening ceremony, I want to ask, which program spends the most money? If you were asked to rate the opening ceremony team, how many points would it get?"

Song Zheng thought about it for a moment and said, " It should be a song of the reed, the reel is more expensive, and there are more than 2,000 sides, the cost of the reel alone is more than 10 million, plus the expenditure of the actors, more than 2,000 actors are trained for half a year, 50 yuan a day for one person, not much money, but the number of actors should be taken into account, plus a few bottles of water per person a day, a box of lunch, and then a cold drink in the summer, it is 100,000 a day, and 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, let me score the opening ceremony team, 99 points, I am afraid that everyone will be proud of deducting one pointWhat does Director Zhang think!?"

Zhang Yimou smiled and said: "I give 100 points, I am not afraid of everyone's pride, dedication to such a wonderful performance, pride should also be!"

The Chinese reporters present couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.

An Associated Press reporter asked: "Which is more tiring than the chief director who undertakes the theatrical performance of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games or the film?"

Do you still need to ask?

Song Zheng smiled and said: "Of course it's the opening ceremony, making a movie is more of a director's personal creation, if it's smashed, it's smashed, as long as my next movie is made, I can rise again." But the opening ceremony is not good, there is only one way in front of all of us, and we can only succeed, not fail. In the process of preparation and rehearsal for the opening ceremony, physical fatigue is nothing at all, the main thing is inner torment, sometimes people are about to collapse, but there is no way, but there is no way but to carry it, gritting our teeth and moving forward, fortunately we carried it! I think everyone should be satisfied with today's performance!"

A reporter from the Asahi Shimbun asked, "We all know that being the chief director is very stressful, have you ever thought about failure in the middle of this?"

Song Zheng was silent for a while before replying: " I didn't think about this problem, because I didn't dare to think about it at all, in the process of preparing for this opening ceremony, my pressure was already very high, if I thought about this problem, it was really impossible to do it, I would collapse at any time, and I always felt that the mission given to me by the country was very sacred, what I had to consider was not personal gains and losses, I had to succeed, fortunately, we have now successfully completed the task, and I have an explanation to everyone, and I can also make movies with peace of mind!"

Immediately afterward, a reporter asked: "Has the new film been planned, what genre, and when will it start?"

Song Zheng said with a smile: "Keep it secret for the time being, you will soon know, today I will only talk about the Olympic Games, not anything else!"

After the interview at the press center, Song Zheng did not get a chance to rest, and a series of interviews and TV programs were waiting for him.

Although he was very tired, he still had to cheer up and accept the interview, but what made Song Zheng depressed was that everyone asked similar questions, and Song Zheng had to repeat the same answer over and over again.

This kind of wheel-based interview didn't end until six o'clock in the morning, and Song Zheng felt that his head was aching for a while, in his opinion, it was even harder than the rehearsal of the opening ceremony, it was really too tiring, and it was completely a kind of mental torture.

When Song Zheng got home, it was already seven o'clock in the morning, and he fell directly to the bed, and he fell asleep before he had time to say a word to his family.

Song Zheng doesn't think about anything else now, what honors after success and the like, it's not in his scope of consideration at all, he just wants to sleep well, and everything else will be talked about after he wakes up!

When Song Zheng was still sleeping, CCTV also released the ratings data, the opening ceremony of the Yanjing Olympics had a national rating of 41.54%, and the viewership share was 83.7%, creating a record since China's ratings survey.

The opening ceremony was broadcast live by 30 provincial-level television stations and hundreds of terrestrial media and television stations across the country, with a total of 842 million TV viewers tuning in to watch the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, which was broadcast by CCTV.

In Japan, the opening ceremony of the Yenching Olympics also set an unprecedented record, and the survey statistics released by the Japan Video Research Agency on the morning of the ninth showed that in the Kanto region of Japan, the average rating of the opening ceremony of the Yenching Olympics was 39.7%, and the highest rating reached 51%. This is the highest rating of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Japan since the 90s of the last century. The average rating in the Kansai region of Japan was 37.9%, the average rating in the northern Kyushu region was 41%, and the highest rating reached a record 56%.

In North America, NBC, which spent $900 million to buy out the rights to North American coverage, was also the biggest beneficiary, with a staggering 31.1 million viewers, the highest since 1976 for the Summer Olympics held outside the United States.

Even more unexpectedly, after the opening ceremony aired, NBC management received numerous emails as well as phone calls requesting a replay of the opening ceremony.

NBC also decided to make an exception for the Yenching Olympics and enthusiastic audiences, announcing that it would rebroadcast the opening ceremony in prime time at a later date.

The staff also reminded that if you were not able to enjoy this grand performance during the last live broadcast for various reasons, then you should not miss such an opportunity if you are lucky.

On the morning of the 9th, almost all the front page headlines of the media in the whole world were about the opening ceremony of the Yenching Olympic Games, all of which were large-scale pictures with large-scale headlines, and one-sided praise, which simply praised the opening ceremony to the extreme.

The Los Angeles Times published an article saying that the opening ceremony of the Yanjing Olympics filled the Chinese people with a sense of national pride, and the article said that the famous Chinese director Song Zheng made the myth a reality at the opening ceremony of the Yanjing Olympics, which realized the century-old dream of the Chinese, and perfectly presented the "Manchu and Han full seats" for the world's 6.5 billion people The whole opening ceremony performance always revolves around the theme of the unity of nature and man, the sea of colors and people are integrated, and the wonderful performance is dizzying, starting from joy and moving, showing characteristics and universality, and finally ending the performance with the hope of all mankind.

The Wall Street Journal reported that athletes made the history of the Olympics and that the Olympics will make history for China, adding that Song Zheng displayed amazing creativity at the opening ceremony, combining state-of-the-art science and art perfectly. The audio-visual effects at the opening ceremony not only cheered the athletes on, but also announced to the world that China, an ancient civilization, is marching into the 21st century with its head held high, and that 1.5 billion people are taking the first step to become the pillar of Asia. This moment will be recorded, not only by the camera equipment that broadcast the opening ceremony, but also by the paper rolls, one of the major inventions of ancient China, which is the subject of the opening ceremony.

Agence France-Presse reported that the opening ceremony of the Yenching Olympics was beautiful and powerful, and the organizers successfully combined scientific and technological means with mass performances, showing the world a magnificent picture, the opening ceremony integrated Confucianism, the four great inventions and Tai Chi and other elements full of Chinese characteristics, and the whole performance was shocking and flawless.

According to the Sankei Shimbun report, even Tokyo Governor Shintaro Ishihara, who has always been known for his stubborn anti-China efforts, could not help but exclaim after watching the opening ceremony: "The opening ceremony is the greatness of the 1.5 billion people, and I feel that the Chinese young volunteers are cordial but not humble or arrogant; unlike Japanese college students, they are obviously full of hope for the future of the country, and they make people feel the leap of youth, which is really amazing!"

"Lianhe Zaobao" published an editorial entitled "Radiant Yanjing Night," saying that the theatrical performances at the opening ceremony creatively displayed the vast and profound and brilliant ancient and modern Chinese civilization before the world, and its grandeur and splendid degree were not only breathtaking, but also beyond people's imagination; on this brilliant night, the ideals cherished by generations of Chinese, the hopes pinned on them, the hidden pride, the grievances they received, and the humiliations they endured were completely and comfortably released.

The opening ceremony of the Yenching Olympics can be said to have conquered the world, whether it is Asia, America, Europe, Africa, Oceania, the audience and media of these countries and regions are full of praise for the opening ceremony of the Yenching Olympics, which can be said to be a success.

For these praises, Song Zheng expected, he also accepted it calmly, he thought that the opening ceremony of the entire Olympic Games deserved such praise, but what he didn't expect was that his work could attract some unexpected guests.

As soon as he woke up and arrived at the Olympic Organizing Committee to report his work, someone told him that someone from the London Olympic Organizing Committee came to the door, London is the host country of the next Olympic Games, and during the closing ceremony, an eight-minute program will be staged.

Zhang Yimou wanted to accompany the leaders to visit the actors at the opening ceremony today, and the Olympic Organizing Committee directly threw the reception work to Song Zheng, and after a few simple chats, they mainly focused on London for eight minutes.

For the eight minutes in London at the closing ceremony of the Yanjing Olympic Games, Song Zheng can also be said to remember it vividly, in general, it is just four words one by one!

The British people's evaluation of these eight minutes can also be summed up in four words: one by one, extremely humiliating!

"Oh God, Britain has behaved so humiliatingly, humiliatingly. A double-decker bus, David Beckham, a draft winner, an old rock star, a bunch of dancers throwing newspapers with this umbrella, I guess that's the hallmark of modern London. I'm afraid that our performance will always be second-class compared to China!"

"The British show was a complete failure, worse than any of the performances I've ever seen, so much so that even though the show was only eight minutes, it was inexorably lengthy, and it was no wonder that the Mayor of London looked rather unhappy before that, he must have known that he was going to be disgraced!"

In order not to let himself laugh out loud, Song Zheng quickly changed the topic and asked casually, "I don't know if your chief director has decided?"

Sebastian immediately said: "Now the candidate for the chief director has not been confirmed, and we are having a headache for this matter!"

Speaking of this, Sebastian glanced at Song Zheng and said quietly: "I wonder if Mr. Song Zheng is interested in being the chief director again?"

One more time!?

Song Zheng was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, being a director once was already about to kill half of his life, how could he do it a second time, he didn't need to think about it at all, he immediately smiled and waved his hand: "It's too tiring to be the chief director, or the movie is suitable for me, I won't direct such a large-scale event in the future!"

Sebastian stared at Song Zheng for a few seconds, and could see that Song Zheng was indeed uninterested, so he couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and sighed: "Mr. Song, your Yanjing Olympic Games opening ceremony is so successful, do you have any suggestions for the opening ceremony of our London Olympics?"

Song Zheng almost couldn't hold back his laughter, of course he knew how much pressure the opening ceremony of the Yanjing Olympics would bring to the host country of the Olympic Games in the future, and the standards were set too high, so that the opening ceremony of the London Olympics and the opening ceremony of the Rio Olympics were criticized by the people of his country.

In fact, not only the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, but also the success of the Yenching Olympics also doubled the pressure on the latecomers, and the excellent organization work made the world marvel.

This is also why, the Olympic Committee has repeatedly expressed in public that it hopes that China will be able to host the Olympic Games again, and even host the Olympic Games, which has risen to the level of a sense of responsibility as a major country.

Regarding Sebastian's question, Song Zheng thought about it and said very earnestly: "My suggestions are two, first, it is best to find a film director, it is best to have an experienced director in commercial films to hold this position, this kind of director has more comprehensive abilities in all aspects, and they can better control the rhythm of the performance, second, hand over the venue to the director as soon as possible, so that the director has more time to rehearse, it will be too late for the bird's nest to be handed over to me, or we can do better!"

What should be said, Song Zheng said, as for whether his suggestion will be adopted by Sebastian, then it doesn't matter to him, in his previous life, he also watched the opening ceremony of the London Olympics, in general, it was a hodgepodge.

The British wanted the opening ceremony to be a success so much that they kneaded everything they could think of, and Mr. Bean, the Beatles, and even the Queen all contributed to the opening ceremony, but the result was a mess, and everyone knew what this opening ceremony was trying to express.

The final outcome can also be imagined, the British did not spend less money, but in exchange for everyone's dissatisfaction, and when people mention this opening ceremony, it is not surprising that it will be compared with the opening ceremony of the Yanjing Olympics.

In short, it can't be compared in all aspects, which makes the British, who have always prided themselves high-end, stand it, and the continuous situation during the London Olympics almost disgraced the British face.

Sent Sebastian and the others away, Song Zheng finished reporting his work, and his work could come to an end, although there was still a closing ceremony, but the general person in charge of the closing ceremony was Zhang Yimou, and he only needed to assist from the side.

Originally, Zhang Yimou wanted to hand over the closing ceremony to Song Zheng, but Song Zheng refused, not because he knew that the closing ceremony of the Yanjing Olympics was flawed, so he hid, but because the budget was too small, the opening ceremony cost 500 million, but the budget for the closing ceremony was only 100 million, how to fix it?

Song Zheng asked himself if he had no choice, and several applications to the above were also rejected, since there was no way to reach an agreement, he simply didn't accept it!
