Chapter 897: Understanding

While many people were still immersed in the surprise of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games with gorgeous fireworks and grandeur, time flashed, and Yanjing ushered in the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games on the evening of August 24.

Perhaps because the opening ceremony gave people too many surprises, people also gave great expectations for the closing ceremony, especially the way the flame was extinguished.

At the opening ceremony, the ignition ceremony of Li Ning's brave climb to the peak gave the world a big surprise, and now that the Olympic Games are coming to an end, how to extinguish the flame has naturally become the focus of people's attention.

Just like the ignition method of the opening ceremony, the ignition method of the closing ceremony is also "top secret", which is also expected, Zhang Yimou publicly stated at the press conference after the opening ceremony that the highlight of the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games will be the flameout.

At the same time, it was revealed that some of the events at the closing ceremony will set a precedent for previous Olympic Games, the most important of which is the way to turn off the flame, which he said will be "one of the most memorable in the world." ”

In addition, the style of the closing ceremony will be completely different from the opening ceremony, and the way of extinguishing the flame will be lively and attract people's attention.

Just one day before the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games, Zhang Yimou also said when he took over the interview that the entire ceremony of the closing ceremony will be positioned as a "carnival", and the moment the flame is extinguished, the atmosphere will reach its peak, conveying the message of "goodbye, see you in four years" to people.

The closing ceremony will be held under the theme of "Good Memory".

"We hope that all the athletes, all the guests who come to Yanjing, will leave with a good memory in their hearts, and we hope that this memory will be preserved for a long time. Many athletes from all over the world are coming to Yanjing for the first time, and in these 16 days, in addition to the competition, they will definitely truly feel China, Yanjing, the hospitality of the Chinese people and the Yanjing people, and feel the excellent cultural history and unique cultural customs of Yanjing, so the closing ceremony will focus on showing this. ”

The fireworks display at the opening ceremony was stunning, and Cai Guoqiang, chief visual effects art designer at the Olympics, said that the fireworks at the closing ceremony did not want to go beyond any heights, and the key was to be "just right".

"We did a good job in the opening ceremony, but the closing ceremony should show the hospitable and warm attitude of the Chinese, and reflect the reluctant farewell and sincere friendship. “

According to Chen Qigang, the music director of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games will be a music festival, and some songs that were painfully abandoned at the opening ceremony will appear at the closing ceremony.

All the speculation and suspense were fully revealed at 8 o'clock on August 24, 2008, from the moment the Olympic flame bloomed in the night sky of Yanjing, for 16 days, people all over the world enjoyed the countless miracles and endless surprises brought by the Olympic movement.

When the sacred Olympic flag and the bright five-star red flag flew high, the 1.5 billion Chinese ignited the brilliant Chinese red for the Olympic movement with sincerity and enthusiasm.

Tonight's Olympic Yanjing will once again write a new history, happy memories, and the most beautiful blessings for the Olympic movement.

Between "29" and "11" seconds, the big screen flashes the seconds, and at the same time, the highlights of the Olympic Games are superimposed, and the sound effects cooperate with the countdown to bring the atmosphere to a climax.

When the countdown reached 10 seconds, the audience began to read under the leadership of volunteers, and the large-screen image flashed Arabic numerals and Chinese capital numbers, and with the change of numbers, the background screen presented typical patterns with ethnic minority styles in turn.

When the countdown reads to "zero", the large screen screen instantly switches to the overhead shot over the Bird's Nest, and a circle of fireworks on the roof of the shed erupts instantly, forming a huge "circle" in the air, symbolizing the successful conclusion of the Olympic Games.

Next is the official start of the show, the vast universe, the stars are changing, and 200 drum performers are arranged in a circle on the steps of the central ceremonial stage, dancing and beating drums in the sky.

The drummers beat the drums in a unique shape in the fantastic light effect, and the drums converge over the center of the square, slowly falling towards the central ceremonial stage, hovering about 5 meters above the stage.

Under the call of the drums, 1,148 silver bell dancers gathered around the central ceremony stage to greet the heavenly drum with enthusiastic singing, and the grand and enthusiastic ceremony officially began.

The sound of the drum means the beginning of the celebration, people gather under the call of the drum that shakes the sky, gather under the banner of the Olympic rings, the soft and crisp silver bells flash with brilliant brilliance, like 10,000 stars sprinkled on the world, and the brilliant night of Yanjing lights up this sleepless night.

The sparkling light of the audience filled this farewell night with magical dreams, and the air was filled with regret and affection.

After the flag handover ceremony, the performance entered the second chapter, the lights of the audience were dimmed, and the airport boarding ramp marked with the logo of the Yanjing Olympic Games was slowly raised under the special effects light.

On the big screen, the airport's electronic flight display appeared, and an athlete who was about to embark on his way home walked up the gangway, he looked back affectionately, and slowly took out a beautiful scroll from his backpack and slowly opened it.

In the glorious 16 days of the Olympic Games, the touching moments of athletes fighting hard to realize their dreams slowly spread out above the Bird's Nest.

With hard work, sweat and infinite love for the Olympics, the athletes engraved the eternal and unforgettable Olympic memory of Yanjing 2008.

The 2008 Yenching Olympic flame gradually went out, and the fireworks descended from the air like "flying down 3,000 feet", and as the flame was extinguished, a huge "flame" in the center of the venue was lit, and 396 "Tower of Memory" performers simulated the flame effect with their limbs.

At the same time, the pacesetters and 100,000 spectators held torch lights at the same time, implying that the flame will always be in everyone's heart.

The "Holy Flame" on the "Tower of Memory" is constantly changing in the surging picture, expressing the Olympic spirit of "faster, higher and stronger" human beings.

In the warm and broad music, 16 auspicious cloud yarns on the central ceremony stage slowly rose along the "Tower of Memory", and the other end of the auspicious cloud yarn extended into the air, transforming into a tree of auspicious clouds symbolizing friendship and joy.

"Not bad!"

Seeing this, Song Zheng nodded and gave a comment seemingly casually.

Zhang Yimou's deep brows still did not stretch, and he only smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said, "I hope all walks of life understand!"

Compared with the opening ceremony, the closing ceremony is obviously much weaker in momentum, but this is also a helpless thing, the budget is so much, the banquet of the peasant dishes, do you still expect to serve the full banquet of the Manchu and Han people?

Besides, the scene is indeed not comparable, but the implication is very far-reaching, and it can't be said badly, but it's a pity that Song Zheng is a professional, and what most people are pursuing is only visual impact.

So, it's really what Zhang Yimou said: understand!
