In late July, 20 beauties from various constituencies in Asia gathered in Hong Kong. After three days of training, they set out to shoot swimsuit shows in the Maldives on the beautiful beaches there.

The three Rocky Sevenks of Industrial Light & Magic also flew to Taipei to lead the 20 special effects artists of Wang's Pictures to work.

With the Olympics just around the corner, Los Angeles is particularly busy at this time, and the rooms in major hotels are already full, and if you don't book in advance, you can't find a place to stay.

Before the '84 Los Angeles Olympics, hosting the Olympics was a loss-making business, and the political significance far outweighed the economic gains. For example, in the last Moscow Olympics, the Soviet Union slapped a swollen face and became fat, and spent more than 9 billion US dollars to hold the Olympics in one go. As a result, due to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, two-fifths of the Olympic countries and regions refused to participate in the competition, and in the end, only more than 80 countries and regions participated, leaving a large number of Olympic villages that were built at a large price.

In this year's Los Angeles Olympics, the Yankees have cut the door to the extreme, with a budget of only 500 million US dollars, and even the athletes and officials live in student dormitories rented by the University of California. Not to mention, in order to make money, the organizing organization of the Olympic Games even focused on the torch relay before the games, and the participants needed to pay $3,000 to the organizing committee if they ran one mile with the torch.

A few days before the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, athletes from all over the world had already arrived in Los Angeles.

From this Olympic Games onwards, the Republic of China team will be called the Chinese Taipei team, while the internationally recognized Chinese team will be the mainland athletes.

Wang Zijun, as a good comrade trained by the party-state, since he also came to Los Angeles, naturally he can't watch the athletes live in student dormitories. He contacted the leader of the Chinese Taipei team in advance and helped them book a room in a hotel in Los Angeles, where they were served with delicious food and drink. Not only athletes, but also reporters sent by several newspapers in Taiwan were also arranged by Wang Zijun into the hotel.

Fortunately, the number of players in the Chinese Taipei team is not very large, otherwise there are more than 200 people like the mainland team, and whether the hotel room is enough is another matter.

Although he knew that the Chinese Taipei team would take duck eggs again this year, Wang Zijun still brought his wife and children to cheer for him before the game.

The hands of the taker are short, and the hands of the eater are soft. After learning that Wang Zijun was going to bring his family to cheer for the athletes, Ren Jianmin, the leader of the Chinese Taipei team, personally led the team to greet him, which was like receiving a national member.

Wang Zijun took Lin Qingxia's hand and came to the hotel, and saw Ren Jianmin waiting outside the room with his teammates, so he hurriedly walked up, held Ren Jianmin's hand with a smile and said, "Oh, Chairman Ren, you came out to greet me in person, how can I afford it." ”

In addition to being the leader of the Chinese Taipei team, Ren Jianmin is also the vice chairman of the National Sports Commission under the Executive Yuan of Taiwan. This signboard is loud to say, but in fact, it is not even a fart in Taiwan, where the sports industry is extremely sluggish.

"Where, Mr. Wang is high-spirited, not only spending money to book hotels for athletes, but also bringing his wife to cheer for everyone. is so dedicated to the cause of national sports, Ren has to thank a lot. Ren Jianmin held Wang Zijun with both hands, with a close smile on his face, and even vaguely stammered.

"This is Mr. Song Lianshen, the track and field coach."

"Hello Coach Song, I wish your athletes good results."

"Thank you, thank you!"

"This is Mr. Cha Guangbing, the swimming coach."

"Hello Coach Cha......"

“……”

Dozens of athletes, officials, and coaches, Wang Zijun spent several minutes shaking hands one by one, while reporters from the "Central Daily," "China Times," and "United Daily News" next to him recorded all these scenes on film. Of course, the photographer coincidentally only photographed Wang Zijun and Lin Qingxia, while Zhao Yazhi and other women were blocked from the camera, and their shadows would not be seen in the newspaper.

"Mr. Wang, give me an autograph!"

"Miss Lin, I want to take a photo with you."

“……”

After the initial reception, the young athletes became lively and surrounded Wang Zijun, Lin Qingxia and others. Not only Wang Zijun, but even Audrey Hepburn was begged for an autograph.

Wang Zijun looked at these athletes, none of them were familiar, and they were all unknown.

In the end, Wang Zijun's family took several group photos with these athletes, and the athletes were called back to the room by Ren Jianmin on the grounds of maintaining their energy and resting quickly.

"Mr. Wang, this time you came to visit the athletes before the competition, do you have a lot of confidence in them?" A reporter from the Central News asked.

Wang Zijun smiled and played Tai Chi: "The athletes win glory for the country, and they are all heroes in my heart. Since I'm in Los Angeles, it's only natural for me to cheer them on. They are all the best athletes and I am sure they will do their part in the competition. It is worth celebrating to win the award, but even if we don't win the award in the end, we should support them. ”

The interview is also a situation, Wang Zijun's answer was slippery, and the reporter of the "Central Daily" did not ask questions, but chatted with Wang Zijun with a smile.

Unexpectedly, the reporter of "China Times" did not mention which pot: "Mr. Wang, the mainland has also sent athletes to participate in this Olympic Games, do you think they are likely to win awards?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the reporter of the "Central Daily" and Ren Jianmin were a little ugly.

Wang Zijun said without changing his face: "Everyone is Chinese, no matter which side of the athlete wins the award, I will applaud them, this is a great thing for the Chinese to win glory." For the sake of prudence, Wang Zijun continued, "However, after all, mainland athletes are participating in the competition for the first time, and they don't have much experience in the arena, so they are definitely not as good as our Taiwanese athletes." ”

"Okay, okay, Mr. Wang finally came here, don't ask such a question......" Ren Jianmin ran out to change the topic, and then everyone tacitly agreed not to mention the matter.

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

Wang Zijun entered the opening ceremony venue with his family, 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 Zijun spent more than $200,000 to buy high-priced tickets, and sat in a prime position 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 Zijun took a large family to sit down, the opening ceremony had not even begun, at least hundreds of cameras were pointed at them and pressed the shutter.

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

"I think it's okay." Lin Fengjiao said. Today, Wang Zijun took them to make a public appearance, which made Lin Fengjiao feel very good, and naturally felt that everything was good.

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

This year's Los Angeles Olympics were hosted privately, and the opening ceremony was thrown directly to Disney. The opening ceremony made by this film company has the taste of Hollywood song and dance films from beginning to end, and Wang Zijun is sleepy. But there are some highlights, such as an airship floating over the Olympic stadium and an astronaut descending from the sky, which attracts a wave of exclamations.

Wang Xi climbed into Wang Zijun's arms, his little head looking around, and the situation of the crowds on all sides made him quite excited. When the astronaut appeared, he pointed into the distance and shouted, "Daddy, Daddy, that uncle can fly!" ”

"Hahaha......" everyone else laughed at him.

Lin Yi said, "Stupid, he must have a rope on him." ”

"Why didn't I see that?" Wang Xi said.

Lin Yi said: "It must be a very thin rope, of course you can't see it from such a distance." ”

"Deceitful ......"

"I didn't lie to you, that's how Dad made movies."

"You haven't seen your dad make a movie......

In the process of the two children's bickering, the song and dance performance finally ended, and the athletes began to enter.

This is very boring for children, and the long entrance ceremony made the two sisters Wang Shiya and Wang Feiyu yawn, and finally fell asleep in their respective mothers' arms in a daze.

"Now the Chinese team is ......"

In the music of "Three Disciplines and Eight Attentions", the Chinese team waved the five-star red flag on the stage, attracting a burst of sideways. The audience present, the biggest understanding of China is probably Deng Gong, who often appears in the American media, this time more than 200 Chinese athletes came at once, if not just arrived.

Lin Fengjiao asked strangely: "Zijun, how can the mainland use our military songs?" ”

Wang Zijun sweated wildly, and there are still mainland netizens asking after twenty or thirty years of this question: "Hey, how did the Taiwan team use our "Three Disciplines and Eight Attentions" to enter the game? ”

As a result, some people also made up all kinds of jokes, saying that when Taiwan's athletes and coaches entered the stadium, they heard that the music was the mainland's "Three Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention," and their faces turned black, and they even protested to the Olympic Committee afterwards.

It's not just the mainlanders who think so later, but also the same at this time.

Not long after the Chinese team entered, the Chinese Taipei team entered the stadium, and the identical music sounded again.

A mainland athlete who was lining up in the venue asked in surprise: "Coach, why do Taiwanese athletes enter the stadium with the "Three Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention"?" ”

The coach thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Maybe the organizer made a mistake, right?" ”
