"Rain Man" caused a sensation throughout the United States, and this film made Zhou Yanfa, Zhang Guorong, Wang Jie, and of course, the prototype character Peake in the play.

However, Wang Jie did not bother to pay attention to this, because Peter Ueberroth, the president of the Los Angeles 1984 Olympic Games Organizing Committee, approached him. Wang Jie, a cutting-edge director and billionaire who has made a name for himself in the United States in recent years, hopes that he will be able to attend the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. Wang Jie politely refused, Wang Jie hated focusing on the flashing lights, as the saying goes: the tree is a big wind. Although Wang Jie has tried to be relatively low-key in recent years, the hot sales of the films of his film companies have still attracted the attention of people with hearts, and some consortia on Wall Street have tried to invest in Fox and other Wang Jie's film and television companies more than once, if it were not for Wang Jie to hold the absolute controlling stake, it would definitely cause a storm.

Before the '84 Los Angeles Olympics, hosting the Olympics was a loss-making business, and the political significance far outweighed the economic gains. Peter Uberros, who comes from a financial background, has been appointed President of the Organising Committee for the Olympic Games. Without government subsidies, he increased his income and reduced costs through ticketing, television broadcasts (ABC bought the rights for $225 million), advertising, corporate sponsorships, using university dormitories, and recruiting unpaid volunteers, resulting in a profit of $250 million, reversing the previous loss of the Olympics and the dilemma that no city was willing to bid for. Ueberroth himself was awarded the Olympic Gold Medal by the International Olympic Committee.

At the beginning of July, Wang Jie returned to Xiangjiang, this time at the request of Tang Shuxuan, to host the opening ceremony of Jiayi Channel's annual drama "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", this time the producer Xiao Sheng enabled many newcomers, Huang Rong's actor is Weng Meiling who was dug up by Jiayi last year, as soon as last year's Hong Kong sister competition ended, Wang Jie asked Tang Shuxuan to dig Zhang Yanyu and Weng Meiling, Zhang Yanyu was sent by Wang Jie to study in Chinese opera, and Weng Meiling stayed on the Jiayi Variety Channel as an entertainment host. At the beginning of the year, when Jiayitai launched the scumbag drama "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" to select actors, Xiao Sheng fell in love with Weng Meiling at a glance. As early as the early days of Wang Jie's acquisition of Jiayi, he appointed Liang Shuyi to spend a huge amount of money to buy out the film and television adaptation rights of all the novels of the scumbag, and the reason why the filming of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" started so late was because there were too many good dramas of Jiayi before, so it was delayed. Guo Jing's actor Xiao Sheng chose Huang Rihua, it seems that the inertia of history is really unpredictable.

Wang Jie stayed in Xiangjiang for a week and then hurried back to the United States.

Wang Jie knew that this Olympic Games would make history in China, so Wang Jie brought his whole family to cheer for him before the game.

Wang Jie came to the hotel with the girls, and saw Li Menghua waiting outside the room with some team members, so he hurriedly walked up, held Li Menghua's hand with a smile and said, "Oh, Captain Li, you came out to greet me in person, how can I afford it." ”

In addition to being the leader of this year's Huaxia team, Li Menghua is also the director of the National Sports Commission and the secretary of the party group.

"Whereever, Mr. Wang is high-spirited, not only spending money to book hotels for athletes, but also bringing his family to cheer for everyone. is so dedicated to the cause of national sports, Li has to thank a lot. Li Menghua held Wang Jie with both hands, with a close smile, in order to better play the Chinese athletes, Wang Jie donated two million US dollars to the Chinese Olympic team in the name of several women from Xiangjiang represented by Zhao Yazhi, and also booked a hotel with superior environment and convenient transportation for all members of the Chinese team in advance.

"This is Mr. Yu Zhangyan, the track and field leader. ”

"Hello Mr. Yu, I wish your athletes good results. ”

"Thank you, thank you!"

"This is the swimming coach, Mr. Mu Xianghao. ”

"Hello Coach Mu......"

“……”

Dozens of athletes, officials, and coaches, Wang Jie spent several minutes shaking hands one by one, while reporters from Xinhua Daily, Huaxia Youth Daily, and People's Daily next to him recorded all these scenes on film.

Two days later, the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games was officially held.

Wang Jie took his family into the opening ceremony venue, followed by several bodyguards, who attracted attention from time to time along the way, and from time to time fans came up to ask for autographs.

Wang Jie spent more than $400,000 to buy high-priced tickets, and sat in a prime location at the venue, not far from US President Ronald Reagan.

Of course, this prime location is also a favorite place for many photojournalists, and when Wang Jie took a seat with a large family, at least hundreds of cameras were pointed at them and pressed the shutter before the opening ceremony began.

At 7:15 a.m., US President Ronald Reagan announced the official opening of the opening ceremony, and after several torch relays, a black athlete rushed to the torch stand with the torch held high and lit the five-ring flame.

Next came the song and dance performance, and after watching it for a few minutes, Wang Jie smiled and said to Lin Qingxia, Zhao Yazhi and others: "This is the worst Olympic opening ceremony I have ever seen!"

"I think it's pretty good. Audrey Hepburn said.

Wang Jie's words are not exaggerated, the opening ceremony of this year's Olympic Games is really bad enough. Not to mention that it is not comparable to the opening ceremony of the Yenching Olympics in later generations, it cannot even be compared with the opening ceremonies of the previous Olympic Games.

This year's Los Angeles Olympics was hosted privately, and the opening ceremony was directly thrown to Wang Jie's Disney Company. Wang Jie didn't interfere, so the opening ceremony made by Disney Studios tasted like a Hollywood song and dance film from beginning to end.

When the Chinese athletes entered the stadium, the Western audience erupted in enthusiastic cheers immediately after the initial surprise, and the American radio commentators called them "dragons from the East".

"Lang Ping, don't you see that 'Martai Ruoxi' Lin Qingxia? and 'Li Ningyu' Zhao Yazhi!" A female member of the Huaxia team pointed to the stands in the distance and said excitedly to her teammates behind her.

"Where?" asked Lang Ping. She is a member of the Chinese women's volleyball team in this Olympic Games, and the one who spoke to her just now was Zhou Xiaolan, a sister in the team.

"It's over there, a few dozen meters to the right of the President of the United States!" Zhou Xiaolan said.

Lang Ping's eyesight is not so good, but under the reminder of his teammates, he also vaguely recognized Lin Qingxia's appearance, and said with a smile: "It seems that it is really them, I didn't expect that the big stars would also come to see the Olympics." I don't know if I'll be able to meet it in the future, maybe I'll be able to get a signature. ”

Due to the introduction of TV series by various local TV stations in Jiayi, with the popularity of film and television dramas such as "Step by Step" and "The Wind", Lin Qingxia and Zhao Yazhi have also become household names in Huaxia.

Athletes are also human beings, and they also chase stars. Like Lang Ping, they train for more than ten hours a day, so they can watch TV dramas or watch movies on holidays as entertainment at night. As a concoction for training, some athletes chase stars more crazy than ordinary people, and often plaster posters of idols everywhere in their bedrooms and wardrobes.

Zhou Xiaolan turned around and whispered: "If you want to sign an autograph, you must not be able to walk around, and I will go back to the dormitory to sleep on time immediately after the opening ceremony today." ”

Zhang Rongfang, a member of the team in front, suddenly interjected and asked: "Sister Lang, you said that we can go out to have fun after the game, I finally came to the United States, and I want to buy something for my mother to go back." ”

Lang Ping is the eldest sister in the women's volleyball team, she said: "I'll ask the coach another day, I should be able to move freely for half a day, but I can't go too far." ”

When the sisters in the women's volleyball team heard that they could take leave to move freely, they were all happy, and they all wondered what souvenirs to buy to go back. The only worry is that I heard that things in the United States are very expensive, and their salaries are not high, and they will not be able to pay the bills when the time comes.

For these athletes who are going abroad for the first time, what they have seen and heard in the past few days can be described as shocking.

On the way from the airport to the Olympic Village, Los Angeles is full of colorful streets, skyscrapers, and glass windows, which are unimaginable in China at this time.

For Zhou Xiaolan, what impressed her the most was the dress of the men and women on the street. Some American girls wear such short skirts and show their thighs, who dares to wear them like this in China, and they will be drowned by spitting stars halfway through.

Not only that, but she also saw athletes from other countries kissing in the Olympic Village, and several of their teammates were ashamed to take a detour, how could these people be so ...... Offense against decency!

However, what makes Zhang Fanyan find interesting is the attitude of foreigners towards them. In the Olympic Village, many foreigners took the initiative to talk to them after knowing that they were Chinese athletes. It's a pity that the two sides can't speak each other, so they can only talk to the duck.

Through several contacts with Western athletes, Zhang Fanyan feels that people in capitalist society are also very humane.

This year's Chinese athletes can be said to be the happiest, enjoying all kinds of special preferential treatment from the organizers of the Olympic Games, and it is impossible for the referee to maliciously punish in a later Olympic Games.

The reason for the extra preferential treatment is naturally the credit of the big brother of the Soviet Union, because when the Soviet Union refused to participate, it threatened to negotiate with hundreds of countries and not participate in the Los Angeles Olympics en masse. In order to enable the Chinese team to participate in the competition, the organizers even sent special personnel (including Wang Jie) to China to lobby, and after a series of friendly talks, they finally received an affirmative answer from the Chinese side.

Not only the official Olympic Games, but also the American people are also welcoming the athletes. The United States, RIBEN and China are in the honeymoon period at this time, and the main reason is that the reform and opening up has given the world a signal to break away from the evil Soviet Union and integrate into the embrace of the world. ACCORDING TO RIBEN'S PRIVATE SURVEY LAST YEAR, 72% OF ISLAND PEOPLE SAID THAT THEIR FAVORITE COUNTRY IS HUAXIA. This data will be reversed in 30 years, and 72% of island people say they hate China the most.

The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games ended in a cheer, and just as everyone was about to leave, something happened that surprised countless people.

U.S. President Ronald Reagan and First Lady Nancy, accompanied by their entourage, were about to leave through a special passageway, but they had just taken a few steps before suddenly turning around and walking to the other side of the stands.

Not only did the move surprise reporters who tried to squeeze in to interview the president, but even Reagan's entourage was unexpected, and they turned around to follow.

Wang Zijun was about to leave the scene with his daughters at this time, but saw a group of people coming over, and the person in the middle happened to be the actor-turned-president of the United States.

In the surprised eyes of countless people, Mr. President stretched out his hand to Wang Jie and said with a smile: "Hello, Your Excellency Amazing William." ”

Wang Jie was stunned for a moment, but recovered instantly, shook Reagan's hand with a smile and said, "Hello, Mr. Gippel." ”

The two held hands together, and countless reporters next to them and in the distance were also very excited, and the flash lights illuminated people's eyes. The first conversation between the two when they met was also wonderful, Reagan shouted Wang Jie's nickname after filming "Rain Man", and Wang Jie returned the nickname Reagan received for the movie.

"I like your 'E.T.' and 'Rain Man' a lot, how about a guest at the White House another day?" Reagan said and looked at Audrey Hepburn and the others, "Well, bring your family." ”

In the face of Reagan's unexpected invitation, Wang Jie was happy at the same time, but also muttered in his heart: Do US presidents have a hobby of inviting actors to the White House for dinner?

John Travota, after a "Saturday Hot Dance" movie became popular a few years ago, he was invited to dinner at the White House by Reagan's former President Carter, but he didn't expect it to be his turn this time.

"It's a great honor!" Wang Jie smiled.

It is estimated that this occasion is inconvenient, Reagan nodded and smiled at the women behind Wang Jie after sending out the invitation, and then said goodbye and left, Wang Jie didn't have time to greet Reagan's wife Nancy.

Reagan was escorted away by security personnel, but Wang Jie was tormented, and he found himself surrounded by reporters and spectators.

"Hello, Mr. William, how do you feel about the President's invitation?"

"Director William, I heard that you are going to make a science fiction film, is it true?"

"Ms. Hepburn, what are your plans for work lately?"

“……”

Kind and malicious, all kinds of questions poured out of the reporter's mouth, Wang Jie answered all kinds of questions with a smile, and then under the escort of the bodyguards, he took the women out of the room. Fortunately, with the help of the staff at the Olympic venues, and with the help of the special passage through which President Reagan had just left, they finally managed to escape from the scene.

On one side of the grandstand of the venue, a Chinese location host held a microphone with the central station logo and said to the camera: "Audience friends, this is the Los Angeles Olympic venue. What ended just now was the opening ceremony of the Los Angeles Olympic Games, and when President Reagan left the venue, he personally extended an invitation to the White House banquet to the great Chinese director William Rothschild. What you can see now is that Mr. Wang Jie is being interviewed by journalists from all over the world......"

"Director William has been invited to dinner at the White House by the President of the United States! Quick, get back to the hotel, I'm going to get the news out as soon as possible......," the BBC reporter shouted.

When Wang Jie and his family disappeared from the special passage, many reporters at the Olympic venues had come to their senses, thinking about how to report the incident.

"The President of the United States invites," Lin Qingxia said wistfully, and then asked a little nervously, "William, is Sister Hepburn going with you, or are we going together?"

Wang Jie also has a headache for this question, he still doesn't know which way Reagan is crazy.

Zhao Yazhi took Audrey Hepburn's hand and asked, "Sister Hepburn, you are very familiar with Mr. President, right?" Why don't you call and ask." ”

Audrey Hepburn said: "When I was in Hollywood, Mr. Reagan was the president of the Screen Actors Guild, and I only met a few times, so I didn't know him very well. ”

Wang Jie said hatefully: "If he dares to invite Lao Tzu, he will dare to go, I declare, our whole family will go together and occupy the White House!"

July 29, 1984, the first day of competition at the 23rd Los Angeles Olympic Games.

In the shooting competition venue, in addition to filming the competition, the camera cameras of TV stations from various countries also swept over Wang Jie's family from time to time.

Last night, the news that Reagan took the initiative to invite Wang Jie's family to the White House for dinner has been published in major newspapers today. The President of the United States has invited many people, and the American people are not too surprised by this, the only thing that stands out is two things: Wang Jie's identity as a magical director and Reagan took the initiative to walk to Wang Zijun and shake hands.

The American people are accustomed to it, but the media in other countries are rare and strange, and they have sent the news back home along with the rest of the opening ceremony.

There were not many highlights of the opening ceremony, so the news that the US president took the initiative to invite a young director became the focus of media reports in various countries the next day.

At this time, Wang Jie was watching the shooting competition intently, and the women were holding an Olympic mascot Sam.

Sam is an American eagle with a torch in his hand and wearing an Uncle Sam outfit. Due to its cute shape, it was an instant hit, and people bought it one after another, which also kicked off the commercialization of Olympic mascots.

"William, it's not a good game. Lan Jieying played with the mascot and looked at the game below with a sad face.

For people who don't like shooting, it's really boring to watch shooting competitions live. Wang Jie didn't like this thing very much, but he insisted on leading the girls over, just to witness that historic moment.

Whether it is Huaxia or Bay Island, no athlete has won a gold medal in the Olympic Games at this time, and Xu Haifeng's gold medal, which was later put into the Olympic Museum, is the first Olympic gold medal in China in an absolute sense.

Since he has returned to this era, how could Wang Jie miss this scene. If you are reborn and are busy making money all day long, it will be really in vain.

On the shooting range, Xu Haifeng was unhurriedly loading bullets. He is not nervous, he is really not nervous at all, because everyone is concerned about Wang Yifu in the team.

In everyone's opinion, if the Huaxia team can win a medal in the design competition, it will definitely be Wang Yifu. And Xu Haifeng just came to the Olympics to play soy sauce, and even he didn't think he could get the ranking.

Xu Haifeng has liked to shoot since he was a child, and his partners gave him the nickname "Slingshot King". The Slingshot King, of course, is a slingshot, and as for the gun? Hell, he used to play with wooden pistols as a kid.

Later, after failing to join the army, Xu Haifeng joined a supply and marketing cooperative as a salesman, and saved 50 yuan to buy an air gun to play. The coach of the shooting team of the county sports committee heard that he played air gun well, so he recruited him into the shooting team.

While working and training in the shooting team, Xu Haifeng practiced for more than 80 days, Xu Haifeng defeated professional athletes from all walks of life, broke the provincial competition record, and won the first place. After winning the first place, Xu Haifeng went back to the supply and marketing cooperatives for three months before he officially went to the provincial team to report, after all, his main job is still a supply and marketing clerk.

"Bang!" Xu Haifeng pulled the trigger.

"Wow!" A small commotion erupted in the audience, and from this sound, it could be heard that Xu Haifeng's first bullet had a good result.

Today is the first day of the Olympic Games, and although the American spectators gave a warm welcome to the Chinese athletes at the opening ceremony, they did not think that the Chinese people could achieve much good results.

But as Xu Haifeng and Wang Yifu fired bullets one by one, the audience in the design venue had slowly changed his opinion.

As time passed, Xu Haifeng, who originally just wanted to play normally and did not have any hope of winning the award, also began to get nervous, because his results have been hovering in the middle of the top three, and it is completely possible to win the championship.

The more nervous he is, the easier it is to have problems, Xu Haifeng thought about it a lot, and immediately made a mistake, and when he hit the 28th shot, he only hit an 8 ring.

Xu Haifeng raised his hand to apply for a break, he wanted to adjust his emotions.

Wang Jie looked at Xu Haifeng who was sitting at the gate from a distance, and he said to the women: "Which of you will help me find that uncle and ask for an autograph to come back?"

"I'll go!" Lan Jieying, who was bored, immediately raised her hand to respond as soon as she heard that there was a task.

"I'm going too!" Li Cheng and Qiu Shuzhen also coaxed.

"Okay, you all go, get three signatures back. By the way, cheer me on that uncle. Wang Jie smiled and gestured to the bodyguard next to him to let them follow.

After the three girls left, Audrey Hepburn asked, "William, why do you want that Chinese player's signature?"

Wang Jie smiled and said, "I think he can win the championship." ”

Lin Qingxia said: "No, Bay Island has not had a gold medal for so many years. Huaxia has only participated in the Olympics for the first time, how can he win the championship?"

"It's not the first time I've come to Huaxia, I've been here once in the fifties. Wang Jie said.

Sophie Marceau, who was on the side, took over the conversation and said: "I still think it's impossible, how can it be so easy for Chinese people to win the Olympic gold medal." ”

Wang Jie smiled: "It's not easy, so this is the first Olympic gold medal for a Chinese person, how precious it is to ask for an autograph." ”

When Li Cheng, Qiu Shuzhen, and Lan Jieying ran in front of Xu Haifeng, more than ten minutes had passed.

Xu Haifeng was closing his eyes and recuperating when he suddenly heard a gentle voice: "Sir, can you sign for me?"

Xu Haifeng opened his eyes and saw that they were three young and beautiful girls, dealing with beautiful women is always pleasant, Xu Haifeng, who had never been able to let go of anxiety and tension in his heart, suddenly eased his mood and said with a smile: "Okay, where is the sign?"

The third girl took out the autograph book, and after asking for three signatures, Lan Jieying said: "Sir, William said that you are very powerful, you must come on." ”

"Okay, thank you William for me, I'll definitely do my best. Xu Haifeng had greeted Wang Jie and others before and was deeply impressed. Xu Haifeng got up and returned to the arena.

Next, if Xu Haifeng had divine help, his hand was so smooth that the other players were jealous, and the third and fourth groups played 93 rings, and the back were all 95 rings.

Finally, the time has come to write history.

At this time, Sweden's Scanaker and China's Wang Yifu have already fired all their bullets, temporarily ranking first and second with 565 rings and 564 rings. Xu Haifeng's score is 556 rings, that is, if his last shot is 10 rings, he can get the gold medal, if he plays 9 rings, he will continue to compete with the Swedish players for the championship, and if he plays 8 rings, then he can only win the second and third places with Wang Yifu.

After a long time of competition, Xu Haifeng's brain is now a little dizzy, and his body is tired. In particular, a large group of reporters around him waited for the results, which greatly distracted him.

Load, Raise Gun, Aim......

"Bang!" a shot rang out.

10 rings!

Oh!

The very small number of Chinese spectators present, as well as the coaches and athletes of the Huaxia team, cheered collectively.

Xu Haifeng, who finished the last shot, left the field in a daze, because he didn't calculate the results at all, and he didn't know that he had won the championship.

Half an hour later, the results of the competition were announced on the radio, Xu Haifeng won the championship, and the Chinese in the stadium cheered again, and the other spectators applauded.

Wang Jie also couldn't help but stand up from his seat, an inexplicable force drove his arm to slap constantly, and his eyes were a little sour.

This is the first Chinese Olympic gold medal in history!

A century of shame, the sick man of East Asia! When Liu Changchun came to Los Angeles to participate in the Olympic Games alone on behalf of China half a century ago, what did he think? Loneliness, humiliation, or longing?

Just when Wang Jie was secretly feeling nostalgic, the organizing committee of the shooting competition was a chicken flying and a dog jumping. Because they only prepared a five-star red flag before the game, which was prepared for Wang Yifu. But now Xu Haifeng has won the championship, Wang Yifu has won the third place, and there is still a five-star red flag missing.

The awarding ceremony was postponed for more than an hour, and the organizing committee of the shooting competition finally did not know where to get a five-star red flag to make up for it.

"Rise up, people who are unwilling to make efforts, and build our flesh and blood into our new Great Wall......"

Wang Jie held back his excitement and didn't sing along with the familiar music, but just watched the five-star red flag rise with blazing eyes.
