Chapter 212: Angels in the World
On Saturday night, just after dark, a circle of street lamps had been lit around the leisure square outside the east gate of Zeye Square, and in the lawn, a circle of searchlights had not yet been turned on, but the direction was aimed at the giant statue in the center of the square. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The construction of the entire Zeye Plaza was suspended, and the noisy noise of the past disappeared.
Before the early hours of the morning, at seven or eight o'clock in the evening, citizens and tourists had already appeared in the square one after another.
Some of them are residents who live nearby, come out for a walk, some come to see it, and even some photography enthusiasts bring very professional photography and video equipment, find a good position in the square, and set up long guns and short cannons.
No matter who this statue is, a humanoid statue as high as 18 meters is a very good photographic subject, except for a very few scenic spots in the province, there seems to be no such a large humanoid sculpture anywhere.
Provincial and municipal stations, as well as several online media, also sent people to the scene, but they did not show up for the time being, but parked the car on the side of the road far away to rest first.
Beneath the huge sculpture, a lot of people have gathered.
Some do-gooders found that the scaffolding around the statue seemed to have been removed, and the current statue was only covered by a huge opaque black cloth, which seemed to lift the curtain with a single kick when the wind blew.
However, it seems impossible to get close to the statue and actually unveil a corner of the curtain for a sneak peek.
Around the statue, there is a fountain pool several meters wide, the pool has been filled with water, like a moat, protecting the statue in the center, if you want to get close to the statue, you have to wade through, but outside the fountain, the yellow line of 'do not enter' has been pulled, and there are several burly security guards standing guard.
Whether it is a Chinese or a foreigner, in fact, they all have some vices, such as liking to write and draw on the statue, touching and pinching, politely touching a few times and sitting for a while, Qin Hui and his wife's chest two big iron pieces were touched flat;
This habit is traditional, N thousand years when Sun Wukong made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, he did it, and it brought indelible physical damage and mental trauma to the Buddha, and I don't know how many children have been taught this plot.
Zeye Square has no power to arrest all the tourists who dare to be presumptuous on the statue and press them under the statue, but it is obvious that this has been guarded against for a long time, the pool and the security guard, two lines of defense, to ensure that after the statue is unveiled in the future, it will not be injured by the devil's claws, and it will become unrecognizable in less than half a year.
Time passed little by little, some people came in the square, some people left, and the rest were all curious people waiting to witness the true face of the statue at zero o'clock.
At 11:50, there was a sudden dense 'pop pop' sound, and dozens of high-power searchlights around the square suddenly lit up at the same time.
"I'll go!"
"Wow, that's beautiful!"
The searchlight came on without warning, and everyone present was taken aback and looked around in surprise.
Soon, visitors discovered a somewhat astonishing spectacle, dozens of searchlights around the square, and the light pointed straight into the dark night sky, each of which was like a pillar of light falling from the sky, connecting the sky and the ground.
Within a radius of a few kilometers of Zeye Square, you can clearly see that in the direction of Zeye Square, just like the scene in the animation, a bright pillar of light suddenly appeared, reaching the sky in the night.
After the pillar of light appeared, the angle gradually changed over time, and the brushes tilted inward, and finally converged a few dozen meters directly above the statue.
After the precise optical design, the color segments of many light pillars absorb and refract each other, and the intersection looks like a pure white and flawless giant ** white ball of light from a distance, emitting dazzling light in the night.
At this point, the time had reached 11:58.
After the ball of light formed in the air, it slowly began to fall, and the statue below the straight image fell.
The scene gives the illusion of an angel enveloped in holy light, descending from the sky.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this scene is so shocking, it is really an ingenious release. ”
The host of the TV station is a young girl, seeing this scene, she couldn't help but be a little excited, and excitedly said to the camera: "If I guessed correctly, at midnight in the morning more than a minute later, this ball of light will fall on the statue and reveal the true face of the statue!" Then there is still ...... time left" She looked at her watch, "about 50 seconds, let's wait patiently together......
With the adjustment of the angle of the spotlight, the ball of light fell slowly, and when it was about ten meters away from the top of the statue, I didn't know who it was in the square, and suddenly took the lead and counted it loudly: "Ten ...... Nine ......"
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the audience in the square quickly joined the ranks of the countdown.
"Seven...... Six ......"
"Four...... Three ......"
"II...... One ......"
A huge ball of light finally landed on the statue, and a white light enveloped the statue in it.
At this moment, in the control room not far away, a technician pressed the button in his hand.
Suddenly a strong air flow spewed upwards from the top and bottom of the statue, blowing up the curtain that shrouded the statue little by little.
It's like a skirt blown away by the wind.
The air flow increased suddenly, and the curtain was blown away completely.
A blonde woman in a white dress and white high heels appeared lifelike in front of everyone.
The bright red lips and short blonde hair contrasted sharply with the white dress, and the air currents not only blew away the curtain, but also seemed to blow her pleated skirt, and the girl's legs were slightly bent, covering the flying skirt shyly.
After all, someone still guessed it.
This huge statue is none other than the late American movie star, Marilyn Monroe.
This pose is the classic image of Time magazine wearing a white dress on the street of New York, and the skirt is blown open by the underground heat, which has become an eternal freeze frame for generations.
The giant statue is eighteen meters tall, every detail is vivid, the full and round lips, the delicate eyes, and even the lines on the ankles are extremely clear.
For a while, many camera spots flashed in the square, and the sound of clicking and clicking was endless.
Visitors to the square subconsciously rushed towards the statue.
The lights gradually softened, and the pool around the statue shot out colorful fountains, surrounding the blonde and sweet woman, like angels from heaven on earth.
The first flower rushed into the sky, followed by the second, and then the third...... In the sky above Zeye Square, bright fireworks bloomed.
……
It's on fire, it's on fire completely.
No one expected that the unveiling of a statue in Zeye Square in Jianwu City would bring such a big sensation.
Naturally, there is no need to mention the reports of Jianwu City and the provinces and cities of southern Jiangsu, and almost all the financial and entertainment-related channels of satellite TV across the country have carried reports of varying lengths.
Even the central station in a program, also mentioned in passing, about the meaning of this 'opening ceremony' is novel, especially the scene of the ball of light falling from the sky, which makes people feel like an angel falling from heaven on earth, it is worth learning from the opening ceremony of various activities, maybe in the opening ceremony of the 08 Olympic Games, we can also see similar wonderful performances.
The photo of Marilyn Monroe's statue holding her skirt went viral on the Internet. The best photo was taken by Jianwu City TV Station, under the night sky of brilliant fireworks, a blonde woman with a devil's body and an angelic face stood in the center of the fountain, with a moving expression, completely interpreting the bright flowers of the prosperous era.
After Zhou Yuanyuan left the provincial station, although the provincial station's "have a say" program changed the host, it still continued, and there were two guests in this issue, one is Jiang Xuan, the general manager of Zeye Company, and the other is the chief engineer of the statue, the well-known sculpture artist Zhang Dazhou.
"There is another landmark building in our city, according to the information we have obtained, there are hundreds of Monroe statues and wax figures in public places all over the world, and the statue in Zeye Square is the world's largest real statue of Monroe. Mr. Jiang, I would like to ask, why did you choose Marilyn Monroe as the iconic statue of Zeye Square?" the host asked.
Jiang Xuan smiled and said: "Marilyn Monroe is a world-renowned movie star, and choosing it can highlight a major feature of Zeye Plaza, which has the most luxurious large-scale cinema in the province, the province's first IMAX giant screen and advanced 3D cinema." ”
After speaking, he paused and looked at Zhang Dazhou, Zhang Dazhou added: "At the same time, Marilyn Monroe represents more than just movies, I personally think that she is more like a treasure given to mankind by God, her image is sweet, innocent, and charming, bringing us endless joy and enjoyment, creating one classic image after another on the screen, which can be said to be a classic epitome of American economic and social development." ”
Jiang Xuan: "This is also what Zeye Plaza hopes to bring to everyone, joy and enjoyment, and establish a classic brand that can represent an era." ”
"I still have a question, will there be copyright problems with the use of this statue?" the host asked.
Jiang Xuan smiled: "We have consulted a lawyer, the 50-year protection period of film copyright is exactly more than 50 years since the release of the seven-year itch of this classic movie. And Marilyn Monroe herself is long gone. ”
In other words, there is no copyright issue. When time passes, this classic picture is the common cultural property of all mankind. ”
The host nodded: "Then the completion of this statue does not mean that Zeye Square, which the audience has been looking forward to, is about to open?"
"Yes. Jiang Xuan said: "Next, Zeye Company will join forces with Sunan Satellite TV to record a special issue of Non-Honest Do Not Disturb under the statue of Monroe, and after that, Zeye Plaza will open for pre-sale." ”
