Under the gaze of everyone, several sports bureaus, the old people who looked like leaders of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television rushed in, and the atmosphere at the scene was immediately depressed a lot, and the 15,000 people present who were originally noisy suddenly became a lot quieter, Han Sanpin hurriedly greeted them, and then shook hands with those leaders, while introducing Li Xiaole to them, Li Xiaole smiled politely, and no one else remembered, only remembered the director Liu who was wearing a fake and serious emotion, and he knew that this was the leader of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television.

Director Liu was obviously not interested in a well-known young man like him, but took the initiative to shake hands with Zhang Yimou, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Yimou, you have worked hard recently. The two exchanged pleasantries, apparently familiar.

"Xiaole, don't mind." Han Sanpin was afraid that Li Xiaole, the nominal chief director, would be unhappy, so after returning to his position, he comforted him in a low voice:

"When Liu Ju was in charge of the promotion of national ethnic culture in the past, he invited Director Zhang to produce "Impression Liu Sanjie", and the large-scale live performance of "Impression Lijiang" has received particularly good results, and now it can bring 300 million tourism income to Yunnan and Guilin provinces and cities every year, and it can be said that he and Director Zhang are old friends."

Speaking of this, Han Sanpin also revealed to Li Xiaole quite mysteriously: "The two "Impression" projects also cost more than 500 million yuan before and after, and the land was also specially approved by the Liu Bureau to find the Tourism Bureau, if you want to get the land documents, you had better have a good relationship with the Liu Bureau." ”

"Hmm." Li Xiaole nodded, but he was quite disappreciative in his heart, this Director Liu obviously didn't look down on him, why did he bother to put a hot face on his cold ass now.

The time was on time at half past 6, the lights of the audience went out, Zhang Yimou made a gesture, a staff member with a microphone gave a brief introduction to the audition process to the audience, and then reported the program list for tonight's audition:

The opening ceremony program is divided into two parts, the upper part is "Splendid Civilization", and the theme is the picture scroll; Writing; Opera; Silk Road; Lile, five themes, the second part of "The Glorious Age", the theme is starlight; Nature; Blue Planet; Dream; The theme song, and the most reluctant ignition ceremony~~"

After introducing the program list, the staff member raised his voice and said: "This time, there is a new program to participate in the audition, the 'Tai Chi Sword' directed by Li Xiaole participates in the competition with the theme of 'nature', and the 'Tai Chi Boxing' program directed by Cai Guoqiang is eliminated and selected, and one of the two is ......."

The scene was immediately in an uproar, and the actors were all talking about it, "Director Cai's 'natural' theme this time has been scheduled for more than a year, how could Director Li pick this theme to compete......" "It's just ~~ It's not good to pick something to compete for, pick Director Cai'...... His Tai Chi program is the strongest ...... of all the programs" "I don't know what Director Li is thinking. ”

Not only did the actors find it incredible, but even Director Liu and Zhang Yimou were whispering and discussing something, obviously they were also puzzled by Li Xiaole's move, knowing that Cai Guoqiang's "natural" Tai Chi theme was rated the highest in each audition by the expert group of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, and it was almost the most impossible to replace......

In everyone's doubts, this audition also officially kicked off.

After the scene was quiet, the soundtrack of Chinese ancient music sounded, and the audience was shocked when the huge scroll on the ground was slowly opened. The 147-meter-long, 27-meter-wide LED screen was the heart of the opening ceremony, a long scroll showing China's 5,000-year-old history, and the audition of the opening ceremony officially began.

"Ancient Relics", the Four Great Inventions, Chinese Characters and Chinese Opera, China's splendid culture is magically displayed. In the melodious music, the caravans and maps of the Silk Road more than 2,000 years ago emerge on the long scroll, and thousands of sailors, holding yellow giant oars, form a huge fleet, reproducing the grand occasion of Zheng He's voyage to the West.

In the sound of music, the giant oars fly, the sea and the sky are the same, in the stormy waves, the two fleets fly like dragons, Ha Ji Won and Scarlett, who saw this scene for the first time, were dumbfounded, Scarlett turned her head and asked Ha Ji Won in surprise: "The standard of your performances in China Square is so high, this is even more exciting than the big show in Las Vegas~!" ”

"You just know that this is just ordinary, and the official is much more exciting." Ha Ji Won replied with a bright smile, completely forgetting that Scarlett was asking "you China" and that she was a Korean at all...... In fact, although Ha Ji Won is calm on the surface, he is also shocked inside, this kind of group performance and huge props and screens give people an indescribable shock.

In particular, this 147-meter-long, 27-meter-wide picture scroll of the huge LED screen is so beautiful that it seems to be able to wrap them into the glorious history of China.

"Director Li, what do you think, do you have any teachings?" Zhang Yimou, who was in the back row, gently patted Li Xiaole's shoulder and asked in a whisper, after all, this is the first time that Li Xiaole, the chief director, has watched the official audition, of course, I want to give Li Xiaole enough face and ask his opinion.

"Very good, but I think it could be better." Li Xiaole turned around and smiled calmly, and gave an answer that seemed to be very tricky.

The peaceful Zhang Yimou is nothing, but Wang Chaoge and Cai Guoqiang next to him, as well as Director Liu of the Radio and Television Bureau, all showed unhappy expressions, what do you mean "Very good, but it can be better?" "This means clearly, that is, it will be better for you Li Xiaole to preside, right? It's really arrogant.

They are very uncomfortable to listen to, no matter how much Li Xiaole has made achievements in movies, but he has never proven himself in square performances, not to mention that this big crew has been rehearsing for more than a year before he joined the group, every show here is the crystallization of the talent and sweat of hundreds of creative teams and actors, everyone has paid too much for it, Li Xiaole seems to be very incompetent in other people......

The directors of each program group couldn't help but hold their breath, wanting to see what program Li Xiaole could come up with this time, and he could have such a condescending attitude.

The five themes of the first half of "Splendid Civilization", the picture scroll, the text, the opera, the Silk Road, and the ritual music are all very Chinese style, and people who watch the rehearsals for the first time are fascinated by Ha Ji Won and Scarlett, and the beginning of the second part of "Glorious Times" is even more exciting.

Starlight, Blue Planet, and Dreams, after these three major themes, it is finally the turn of director Cai Guo-Qiang's finale "Nature" theme and Li Xiaole's new program, and everyone is waiting for this moment to come.

With the end of the auditions of one program after another, the expert team of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television in the audience was also constantly playing various scores, and finally they summarized the scores scored by the first feeling to the director team, and then notified the program team of the final result after the performance, and the final result was naturally a few happy and a few worried.

The lowest score was 78 points for the picture scroll, 83 points for the text, 59 points for the opera, 62 points for the Silk Road, and 72 points for the ritual music...... In the theme of "opera" with the lowest score, one Huangmei opera and one Sichuan opera were eliminated, and "Silk Road" also ruthlessly eliminated two programs, and in less than half an hour, the efforts of more than 2,000 people in the past year have come to naught......

Backstage, the crew who passed the review was celebrating happily, so that the people who were eliminated on the other side were hugging each other and crying, scolding, complaining, and silent...... No matter how hard they work and how they give, in the end they will not get anything, and this time may have been the most glorious moment of their lives, but in the end they only left a lifetime of regrets...... Tomorrow they will each take their tickets back to their hometowns and return to their original positions......

It's not because they're not good enough, it's just because someone is better than them......

And with the passage of time, under the theme of the two programs "Nature" that finally came to the most shocking audition, Cai Guoqiang's "Tai Chi" + "Tai Chi Array", and Li Xiaole's "Tai Chi Sword".

At any time, the on-site staff held up the reminder card with the theme of "Nature", and everyone at the scene couldn't help but concentrate, this competition between the ace of the director team and the nominal chief director, no matter who wins or loses, has a huge impact on the entire opening ceremony crew......

When the lights were turned on, the props team had set up 8 screens with an area of 5X4 meters, facing all directions, and in front of each screen stood a pretty girl wearing a Tai Chi suit.

With the gentle birdsong and cicada cry, the blue flame flashed on the screen as the background~~ floating slightly, and the beautiful color reflected the standard and beautiful Taijiquan of the girl in front of the screen, just in an instant, everyone was brought into the martial arts realm of Taijiquan, which is both rigid and soft.

Although I have seen it many times, but this time after adding the screen as the background, the effect is even more beautiful, the girl, Tai Chi, the clever and natural fusion of soft light and shadow together, so that many people unconsciously "wow" in their hearts......

Such a complex element is fused together, but it looks beautiful and gorgeous, Cai Guoqiang's grasp of visual effects has reached the point of being superb, and he is truly worthy of a generation of artists.

Li Xiaole also looked at it and nodded, feeling very admired, and it coincided with him to think of using the screen as a background to depict the concept of "qi" in Taijiquan...... If it is simply compared to color, he is really not as good as the super combination of Zhang Yimou and Cai Guoqiang, these two are really worthy of photographer-turned-artists......

Even the two laymen, Ha Ji Won and Scarlett, were stupid, Scarlett opened her mouth slightly, and sighed from the bottom of her heart: "My God, how can China have such a good live show director." ”

Ha Ji Won turned his head and looked at Li Xiaole worriedly, although he wanted to ask him something, but he was afraid of creating pressure on him, so he could only bite his lip and swallow the words back.

"It's not just the director who is great, the team leader, and the actors are even better." Li Xiaole sighed, looked at the sturdy middle-aged man next to him who was looking at the stage with his waist crossed, and asked Han Sanpin, "This is the leader of this performance, right?" Who is he? ”
