"But the cost of 1.7 billion ...... I'm afraid that it will exceed the expectations of their leadership...... "Wang Chaoge is also very anxious, he very much wants to make this plan come true, and really make the opening ceremony that shocks the world, but he is afraid that the cost is too high to scare away the leaders of the organizing committee...... He still thinks that a compromise plan is likely to pass.

"Don't worry, they'll say yes, I have a way to convince them." Li Xiaole said in a calm tone, as if he wasn't worried about this matter at all.

"But ......" the outspoken Wang Chaoge wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zhang Yimou waving his hand, Zhang Yimou looked at him, it is superfluous to say anything now, no one can stop Li Xiaole from rushing forward, it is better to let him know the situation at the voting meeting, and then he will naturally know what to do.

Three days later, there was a voting meeting on the project on Li Xiaole's improvement of the opening ceremony.

The huge conference room of the General Administration of Sports is crowded with people at the moment, and behind the rectangular table in the middle of the house, there is a simple rosewood chair with armrests, but there are cups of hot tea on the table in front, more than 60 people are sitting on their respective chairs, and there are many discussions, obviously all of which are caused by the controversy brought about after Li Xiaole replaced Zhang Yimou and officially became the chief director of the opening ceremony.

After all, everyone knew in their hearts before that this young man was just a pseudonym.

The meeting was presided over by Director Liu of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, and the voting was mainly a summary of opinions from three aspects, one was the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television and the director team of the opening ceremony, the other was the representative of the Sports Bureau responsible for managing the investment funds of the project, Zhong Qiulin, the secretary of the Party Committee, and others, and the representative of the Olympic Committee in China, Pierre Ray, a French-Chinese, and their market evaluation team.

In order to reach a plan to change the opening ceremony, it is necessary to reach the consensus of the three parties before proceeding, because the previous three parties have put a lot of effort into the opening ceremony, and they all believe that the current plan is the most suitable.

Director Liu convened an ad hoc meeting this time, which surprised the Olympic Committee, do they have a better new plan?

Before the start of the meeting, Director Liu pulled Li Xiaole with a spring breeze on his face to introduce Li Xiaole to the representatives of the Sports Bureau and the Olympic Committee:

"This is the new chief director of our opening ceremony~~~ Director Li Xiaole, very good~~ Come to Director Li, let me introduce you, this is Zhong Qiulin, Secretary of the Sports Bureau...... This seems to be Mr. Pierre Ray, who is in charge of Asian affairs in the Olympic Committee...... Organization Minister Qian Yushu ......"

In the greetings, Li Xiaole felt that the IOC Pierre Ray was very enthusiastic about him, and praised him again and again: "Director Li is really a young talent, I have seen all your movies, they are all genius works." ”

Zhong Qiulin, the secretary of the Party Committee of the Sports Bureau, who was responsible for the financial expenditure of the Olympic Games, had a serious face and did not give him a good look at all, the old secretary just nodded politely to Director Liu and said: "With the escort of your comrades from the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, I can rest assured that the new and old teams of the opening ceremony team will be handed over." ”

"Escort, you Secretary Zhong is also one." Director Liu smiled hehehe.

At the beginning of the meeting, as usual, Director Liu presided over it, and he coughed twice and announced:

"Today is a special project meeting, and I believe everyone knows the main topic, that is, whether to pass the discussion of Director Li Xiaole's latest program improvement plan, the project materials are on the table in front of you, now let's ask Director Li Xiaole to say a few words."

Faced with this kind of occasion, Li Xiaole had no way to avoid vulgarity, so he could only look at everyone and smile modestly:

"To be honest, I was really a little nervous to be the chief director of a huge crew like the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, and I was still thinking about the plane back from the United States that day, how can you Li Xiaole get such a big bargain by reaching out." Saying this, Li Xiaole looked at Zhang Yimou, who was full of peace:

"Director Zhang has worked hard for a whole year with such a large crew, and each show is very exciting, erecting such a dazzling benchmark, can I jump over?"

At this time, Zhong Qiulin interjected: "Director Zhang's benchmark is a little higher, with such a good foundation, I believe that your work will be better, one generation is better than the next, I believe that the burden given to you by the people of the whole country, you can pick it up." ”

As soon as he said this, he obviously put pressure on Li Xiaole again, which means that if you don't do a good job, you will be sorry for the people of the whole country......

"Hehe, don't say anything about carrying the burden." Director Liu said in a round field:

"This Olympic Games is done by the vast number of cadres of our Sports Bureau, and the history of our sports development is written by athletes from generation to generation, pressing on their youth, no one can conquer the world and cover history~~" Director Liu looked around at everyone and said with a smile:

"As an individual, no matter how high your position is and how powerful you are, we are just a small wave in the torrent of this big era, as long as you have impacted, struggled, and struggled, it is enough, okay~~~ In order to make you more intuitive about Director Li's transformation of the opening ceremony, in order to make you more intuitive, let's watch a video."

Saying that, Director Liu asked people to close the curtains, then dimmed the lights, and used the projector to play the video of Li Xiaole's "Tai Chi Sword" before.

In the video playback, Pierre Ray, the representative of the Olympic Committee, was amazed, squatted in front of the curtain to study carefully, and deeply lamented that technology had reached this point, but Zhong Qiulin just frowned, as if he was not too interested in these bells and whistles.

After the playback, Director Liu asked people to open the curtains, and after everyone's eyes recovered, he said slowly:

"I believe everyone has seen that this 3D technology is very advanced, and as far as we know, this technology is currently only mastered by Director Li's Black Pearl Company, and has not yet been announced to the public......

The people present stopped talking and began to avoid Director Liu's sight, and began to ponder how to vote for this vote, everyone was dialing their own little abacus......

"I think this effect is simply great, and I must use this technique." After consulting with his marketing team, Pierre Ray was full of excitement and took the lead in saying:

"We should fully support Mr. Li Xiaole's genius initiative, and our Olympic Committee will give 100% support to this project~~"

Before Pierre Ray finished speaking, Zhong Qiulin, the deputy director of the Sports Bureau, interjected coldly: "Mr. Pierre, it seems that you are willing to support any project that our country is willing to spend money on." Because of the budget of this Olympic Games, the two have quarreled many times in various aspects, and it is inevitable that they will have a quarrel when they meet.

"Don't you want the opening ceremony to be better?" Pierre Ray glared at Lin Yu, frowned and asked: "Secretary Zhong, I really don't understand you, the Olympic Games is the best stage to show your country's image, if in order to save investment, then why do you Beijing want to bid for this project?" ”

"You can't say that, there has to be a balance in everything!" Zhong Qiulin is an old cadre of the Sports Bureau, and when he speaks, he has a revolutionary tone: "This money did not fall from the sky, nor did it come out of those capitalists on Wall Street who changed a few data casually, but the people of our socialist countries who worked hard every day and handed it in~ how can you spend it as you want~~ how can you spend it as you want~~ ”

Zhong Qiulin, who was thin and thin, had a big voice when he started a fire, and turned his head to glare at Director Liu fiercely:

"Lao Liu, you are a party member, you touch your heart and tell me, isn't your preparation for the opening ceremony enough? Didn't you promise me that you were going to prepare for the best opening ceremony in the history of the Olympic Games? Since it's the best!? What other reason do you have to spend an extra billion!? ”

Speaking of this, Zhong Qiulin stood up, with an iron-clad and clean official style, and glanced at Zhang Yimou, Li Xiaole, and Wang Chaoge with righteousness:

"What is the concept of billion, have you ever thought about it? This is just a number for you, but this is a knife hanging from my neck for me, and this knife will not be protected at any time if it falls on my head, comrades, this is a billion...... If this money is spent, there will be fewer stadiums in those rural primary schools in our country, and how many national fitness facilities will be missing in the people's communities, and you can't talk about the people's hard-earned money for the sake of your so-called 'artistic pursuit'......"

Everyone present was so trained by him that they couldn't speak, Han Sanpin couldn't help it, and said in a tone next to him:

"Secretary Zhong, this account is not just this calculation, if the opening ceremony is good, the increase in ratings brought by the advertising fee alone can recover the money, and this is not only a literary program, but more importantly, it can enhance our country's external image, so that China's enterprises can be more confident when doing trade with foreign capital, and it will be of great benefit to the interests of the entire nation and various industries......

"What the hell!?" Zhong Qiulin frowned, and interrupted him with a fierce wave of his hand: "Han Sanpin, you are a typical businessman's thinking, you have no political position at all, have you ever thought that we have announced the investment in this opening ceremony, the media across the country, and the people know about it, and now you open your mouth to suddenly add one billion, I don't care if this money is reasonable, but have you considered what the people will think after hearing the news?"

Han Sanpin was stunned for a moment, as if he understood what Zhong Qiulin was worried about, and he couldn't say anything for a while.

Zhong Qiulin saw that he didn't speak, and his voice became louder, looking at Zhang Yimou, Li Xiaole, and Wang Chaoge:

"You have said it yourself, what new techniques you want to use are exclusive to Black Pearl, a private enterprise, and you have the final say on how much this thing is worth, what will you think if you are a common person? What will they want to do for the sudden use of so much money, is there some shady, is there some corruption? Did these billions all go into the pockets of you directors, us, the Sports Bureau, and the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television~!? ”
