Chapter 802 - 802 East-West Culture War
But Todd Hardy felt that the images he saw this time were unforgettable...... After reminiscing, he directly said to Lei Dongshi, the bald CEO of Paramount next to him: "I think we should speed up the update of 3D projection equipment in theaters......
"I think so too." Lei Dongshi also nodded again and again, he couldn't wait to go back immediately, so that the planning team below could hurry up the development of new 3D movie projects...... If Li Xiaole can transplant today's performance to the theater, it will be the destruction of their other film companies......
Of course, Todd Hardy and Lei Dongshi both know that this kind of glasses-free 3D transparent screen is extremely expensive and cannot be popularized as theater equipment, but who can guarantee that in 5 years, ten years later, this technology will not develop significantly?
Once the cost comes down, and China has mastered the technique, if Hollywood doesn't react until then, I'm afraid it will be too late...... It's time to prepare, it's the first time they feel that other countries have caught up with Hollywood......
"Bang Bang!" In the backstage of the performance, Zhang Xiaojian, a student of the sports school, applauded wildly with everyone with excitement, and the heat in his eyes was not only moved by the opening ceremony, but also proud of his idol Li Xiaole, tonight he gave the bastards who questioned him a fatal blow, this is the perfect combination of high-tech + Chinese culture + big scene.
Although today's protagonists should be the athletes, Zhang Yimou and Wang Chaoge, the director team still stood up according to the convention, hugged each other to celebrate, and accepted everyone's praise and awards, Li Xiaole in the center of the crowd also became a well-deserved protagonist after the opening ceremony.
"Xie Lu Xie, Xie Lu Xie." Li Xiaole kept expressing his gratitude to his colleagues, audience, and friends, and his heart was beating violently, and these applause and cheers made him a little overwhelmed with joy, especially many artists in other fields such as I.M. Pei took the initiative to come over to greet him, which made him feel a full sense of achievement.
As he walked, he put his arm around Zhang Yimou's shoulders again: "Xie Lu Xie!" Director Zhang, if it weren't for your performance, you wouldn't have the effect you have now......" Zhang Yimou was also rarely moved: "Director Li, I want to thank you." Wang Chaoge smiled and walked over with his hands open: "Don't be polite to each other, I'll thank you two together~~"
Not far away, Cai Guoqiang, who used to be the director of the team, also watched all this from afar, but his face was extremely lost, he should have been standing there...... Why would he be so stupid, he would have done it against Li Xiaole in the first place, Cai Guoqiang kicked the seat in the front row fiercely, startling the foreigner in the front row...... However, this foreigner had just finished watching the previous Tai Chi performance, and he didn't dare to be rude with any Chinese, so he could only glare at Cai Guoqiang sadly......
And Ha Ji Won looked at Li Xiaole surrounded by everyone, but he was extremely proud in his heart, this is his future husband, Li Xiaole is not only her pride, but also belongs to the whole of China and all of Asia, think about a few years ago, when the two just had an affair, many Korean media said that "it was a flower inserted in cow dung" It is really funny......
The applause at the Bird's Nest Stadium lasted for a long time, until the athletes began to leave, and then it was even more lively! "Wow, unbelievable!" "I can't wait to collect DVDs!" "The opening ceremony has just come to an end, and the aftertaste of the fans and audiences has just begun!
A young black man who looked like a student kept waving his fists and legs: "I want to learn Tai Chi, ahhhh Li Lianjie just now is so handsome! I'm going to come to China to go to university in the future~! ”
There are also a few white girls who are holding mobile phones to surf the Internet, searching for the keywords "Tang costume, Song costume" on eBay and Amazon, while shouting: "Those ancient Chinese clothes just now are so beautiful, if we can buy them and wear them to school, it will definitely surprise Judy and them." "Look, we're going to let those idiots who think they're fashionable every day know what taste is."
When Li Xiaole and Ha Zhiyuan drove out of the gymnasium, they should have encountered a big traffic jam, although there is a special passage, but because they have to take care of the travel of leaders of various countries, the cars of ordinary spectators are squeezed onto another relatively narrow road, and there was a traffic accident in front, and the vehicle was crowded on the road for a long time without moving.
"Look at you, you're creating traffic jams in our nation's capital again." Ha Ji Won leaned against the window with one hand, looked at the scene outside the window, and said with a smile, Li Xiaole would go to the cinema to watch the premiere every time the movie was released, and she was used to this kind of traffic every time.
Even the host of the traffic station of FM radio jokingly called Li Xiaole a "road killer", referring to the fact that as long as Li Xiaole has a movie released, it will definitely cause traffic congestion in major cities at night.
"At least I've done another good thing for China's GDP growth." Li Xiaole laughed self-deprecatingly.
"Li Xiaole~~ Let me ask you." Ha Ji Won looked at him curiously and asked, "I heard Director Zhang say that you just went to meet Mr. Shao Yifu of Hong Kong Wireless, did you talk to him about any cooperation matters?" Is the next work a collaboration with Hong Kong? ”
Li Xiaole said that he may be the starring actor in the next drama, and Ha Jiwon has been curious about what to film.
"Guess what?" Li Xiaole smiled and deliberately sold a pass.
"Alas, don't say it~ You're going to be a cow today~" Ha Ji Won nodded his forehead with a smile, this guy likes to put on music.
"You are ready to be scolded by the whole Chinese audience~" Li Xiaole just said with a smile, being able to joke with Ha Ji Won like this after being busy made him feel very relaxed and happy.
In the traffic jam, he could also hear a lot of different people from all over the world discussing the opening ceremony with relish, in addition to those who praised it, there were many people who saw the opening ceremony from a political point of view, and many older Japanese, Korean, and even American audiences were discussing with each other.
"What is Li Xiaole's intention, and is he using poetry to revive the dominant position of Chinese characters in Asia in Chinese?" "He uses traditional characters, is this a cultural program for the old times?" "What is the symbol of the dragon at the end, does China want to follow hegemonism?"
Several Japanese viewers were interested in the interpretation of Chinese characters at the opening ceremony. In the face of the interpretation of the original country, they have their own experience, especially the word "harmony" integrates the Japanese prince Shotoku, and sets this sentence "harmony is precious" as the spirit of the country, so Japan calls itself the Yamato nation. When they saw the Great Wall of the peach forest blooming all over the war, the disciples wrote with the sound of gold and stone, Taijiquan was like flowing water, but with the momentum of thunder, and the girl's soft "singing motherland" implied a hundred years of resistance. The pictures are like a lion sniffing a rose...... There is always some thought of the war between China and Japan in my heart, maybe the Chinese are demonstrating today?
The Korean audience felt differently, and they resounded that there was a similar performance at the 88 Korean Olympics, and the blue tones of the Taiwan machine brought the femininity to the audience. Compared with the leisurely Tai Chi crowd in front of him, the red dragon golden pillar, the brilliant blue Silk Road, the smiles and festives in the audience, I can't help but feel ashamed of myself...... It turns out to be the charm of the original version of culture...... Koreans, who usually look down on Chinese the most and think that they are the number one in Asia, have seen tonight's performance with their own eyes, and the huge gap in their hearts is indescribable.
The performance of the opening ceremony seems to be very beautiful and elegant, but behind this beauty and elegance, it is revealed everywhere that this country vaguely exudes the atmosphere of ancient kings and kings of the world......
This sleeping dragon has experienced humiliation, suffering, and humbleness, but because he has the heart of a king, generous and slender, noble but not domineering, wise but not cunning, history will bring him back to his place. And when he returned, he brought peace and tranquility to the world...... Or is it a revolution that shows off its fangs?
The incomparable scene unfolded at the opening ceremony is politically, economically, culturally, and incalculably incalculable in terms of impact on the entire world of Korea, and those who once thought that Chinese were living below the poverty line, doing only the lowest jobs every day, and being suppressed by the authoritarian government, were no different from North Korea, may be completely changed......
It would be terrifying to say that such an authoritarian government could grow the economy rapidly while still promoting a culture that is so magnificent......
This opening ceremony is not only a dazzling performance, but also a direct point to the completely different directions of Eastern and Western cultures, what can make people's lives better? It is the kind of West that advocates competition and advocates that people should be higher, faster, stronger, and unlimited in all aspects to satisfy people's desires...... Or is it the East's way of finding people and nature and themselves, seeking a balanced life, which makes people happier?
At the opening ceremony, Li Xiaole dealt a severe blow to the values that the United States has been demonstrating and are considered "unique and correct" by the whole world, and showed the true charm of the oriental culture that Westerners feel is backward and stupid......
The American media at the scene all interpreted the changes in their hearts from the fanatical Chinese faces and the complicated expressions of those Chinese-Americans...... This is far more profound than the economic benefits that an opening ceremony performance brings to China.
"What should tomorrow's comments be?" NBC editor Richard Roper sat in the director's booth and felt like his head was about to explode, and there were so many things in this opening ceremony that it would be difficult to evaluate it comprehensively even in a 100,000-word paper......
As an ordinary person, Richard Roper loved this opening ceremony performance, but as an American media person, he had to think carefully about his words, and the title was "The Awakening of the Dragon from the East, the Unprecedented Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games." ”
