During the period when Li Xiaole left the crew of the opening ceremony, the crew in Beijing did not stop, on the contrary, all the work was carried out in an orderly manner, after all the program settings were determined, the rehearsal scene has been transferred from the suburban venue to the Bird's Nest, and the formal rehearsal for the last three months has begun.

In the newly built Bird's Nest Gymnasium, more than 15,000 people are in full swing rehearsals, the stadium is tightly sealed by the armed police, and no unrelated personnel are allowed to enter, and dozens of reporters from various countries are squatting outside, and they can only hear the shouts of Qin all day long from time to time inside~~

At present, no reporters have been allowed to enter the venue, but at the back door, a few South Korean reporters are sneaking to find a place to enter, and they are stopped by a team of armed police, who have seized their cameras and equipment.

"We are reporters from South Korea's SBS, you can't treat us like this~!" Several South Korean journalists shouted angrily in half-baked English.

The dark-skinned armed police were unmoved, mercilessly invited them out of the field, and left their equipment behind. The arrest is from your SBS TV station, and the first thing Director Lee has to ask for security is: "You must be especially vigilant against Korean journalists, and they must not be allowed to get close to the rehearsal site, especially the reporters in the SBS TV tower." ”

Although I don't know what Director Lu Dao Lee explained to Lu, the fate of South Korean TV's Olympic coverage this time is much more miserable than that of reporters from other countries...... Not to mention entering the venue, even if you just speak a few words of Korean, a few armed police officers will come over and stay by their side......

They feel extremely aggrieved, they don't know why Lu Dao is like this, they don't understand why Chinese Wei Lu hates them so much, they don't know that Li Xiaole, the chief director of the opening ceremony, is nostalgic for the future "Beijing Olympics SBS candid shooting" incident......

In the Bird's Nest Stadium, after a whole rehearsal without sound and no video, Zhang Yimou and Wang Chaoge sat next to them and clapped their hands, organizing everyone to rest, Wang Chaoge couldn't help but nod again and again:

"The effect is really unexpectedly good~~ This Director Li still really has two brushes, and he can adapt our show so well, it was originally just a group program, and he added the artistic conception of poetry to sublimate his temperament at once, and we didn't even expect ......"

"It's not that we didn't think of it." Zhang Yimou shook his head with a sigh: "This is because our technique has never been possible, and Director Li's idea of this three-dimensional performance alone is too much better than us......"

"Yes......" Wang Chaoge nodded with a wry smile, looked up at the huge circular screen built along the back of the audience, and was extremely emotional: "I really want to come on the day of the opening ceremony now, I really can't wait to let the leaders of various countries and the audience of the whole world watch this performance and appreciate the culture of our country." ”

"I hope Director Li will go well in the United States." Zhang Yimou was a little worried: "He contributed too much to the opening ceremony, and he bought the American broadcast rights, I am really afraid that the ratings of this session are not good, and he will be hit hard...... Young people like him are so much better than us, I really hope he goes well......"

And when Zhang Yimou and Wang Chaoge were worried about Li Xiaole, who was thousands of miles away, the director had already done something shocking, and the pirate TV station, which had just announced that it had won the broadcast rights of the Olympic Games, announced on its official website that they would broadcast the NBA playoffs live, and the entire pirate TV station would change to lOGO and change to pirate Olympic channel before the end of the Olympic Games.

"In order to make the Olympic Channel show a new look in front of North American TV audiences, our channel changed the LOGO, determined the purpose and strategy of the Olympic Channel, carried out all-round and multi-angle coverage of the Beijing Olympic Games, and increased the coverage of various sports competitions in the United States, in order to allow sports viewers to get better service, we decided to broadcast the NBA playoffs this season."

Regarding the revision of the Pirate TV channel, Mina Neil, the executive manager of Pirate TV, announced in the article that the news is not surprising, you must know that before Lu Dao, China's CCTV had already done this, Li Xiaole just painted a gourd, trying to take advantage of the broadcast ratings of the Olympic Games.

At present, there are two main programs about the Olympic Games, "Hello, Beijing" in the morning and "Walking with the Flame" in the evening, which mainly introduce the preparation of American athletes participating in the Olympic Games, as well as the news and events of the Chinese torch relay.

But it is incomprehensible for the pirate station to buy the broadcast of the NBA playoffs, you must know that the NBA playoffs are games that can be broadcast by the four major television networks in the United States and ESPN, and the competition between them is fierce.

Many people who have not watched the live broadcast of NBA games in the United States may not know that in the NBA playoffs, there is usually not only one commentary seat, but each TV station has its own commentary station, and the ace commentators invited by each company are the key to winning the game ratings during the live broadcast.

The ace ball commentators of NBA games are usually retired stars of various teams, and since they are professional and humorous, they can not be unscrupulously ridiculed, and they are deeply loved by the audience, and these top ball commentators are signed with various TV stations for several years, such as the famous star Barkley who kissed the ass of Yao Ming, is the NBA commentary pillar of TNT TV.

It's not difficult for Pirate TV stations to buy the rights to broadcast NBA playoffs, but where do they find top commentators to comment on the game and attract viewers?

After learning the news, ESPN host Reese Harry's first reaction was to joke: "Oh~~Oh God~~ Pirate TV must have invited Yao Ming to comment, this Chinese star who has been injured this season is very popular in the United States, this may be the killer feature of Pirate TV, they want to please the Chinese audience in the United States~~"

When everyone didn't pay much attention to it and just treated it as an inconsequential trifle, something that really shocked everyone happened.

On Sunday evening, to promote the NBA playoffs, which will begin at the end of April, the NBA held a press conference to announce the schedule.

The press conference was held on the first floor of the Hardy Building in New York, where journalists and celebrities from all over the United States joined in the fun, and of course, there was no shortage of stars who attended for the promotion of Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Kevin Garnett and other NBA signature stars were on hand to receive the baptism of flash.

Reporters are all around these stars, asking them how they feel about the post-season season.

The biggest favorites in this tournament are last year's two Finals teams, led by Tim Duncan, the veteran Spurs, and the Cavaliers led by "Little Emperor" James.

However, at the same time, the Lakers, who ranked first in the regular season, and the Celtics, who have just formed the Big Three, these two old giants are also considered to have a good chance, plus the Western powerhouse Suns joined by O'Neal, the most dominant center in NBA history, there are as many as five teams with championship appearances this time, which makes people feel that the outcome of the game is unpredictable.

When predicting the winner of the most difficult game, most of the stars said that their team would win, but when asked about other opponents, everyone felt very embarrassed, such as the Suns vs Spurs, the two powerhouses in the West in the first round, which made people have a headache.

"Kobe, do you think you're going to be the champion?" Reporters surrounded Kobe Bryant, the current number one star in the NBA, and asked him with the microphone.

"Of course, I think I'm going to win." Kobe Bryant, who lowered his head and had a calm face, smiled at the camera: "Our team is in very good shape this year, we will win the Western Conference championship first and beat our opponents in the Finals." ”

Kobe Bryant's answer attracted a smile from other reporters at the scene, the lone ranger, who is known for playing alone, is not a good team leader, and after the departure of the great center O'Neal, the Lakers have not entered the second round of the playoffs for 3 years, which is the worst result in team history, which makes everyone very unoptimistic about him, Kobe is very good, but he is just a scorer, not the leader of a championship team......

At this moment, nearly 700 people were crowded into the hall, but everyone was in order, and everyone saw the chairman of the NBA, David Stern, who was full of silver hair, appear on the stage, and immediately fell silent.

Behind him are representatives of various TV companies, including Li Xiaole in a black suit, who is thin and tall compared to other tall white representatives.

After the host announced the start of the press conference, David Stern stepped onto the podium and announced with a microphone in front of the crowded American media reporters in the audience:

"Ladies and gentlemen, fellow members of the media, thank you for coming, and on behalf of the NBA, I thank you for your presence...... It is a great pleasure to invite you today, and now let us announce the schedule for this competition......"

After a brief explanation, David Stern announced the detailed schedule of the playoffs, after a simple ceremony, the last thing is to introduce the commentators that are broadcast by various TV stations this time, on the court, the players are the real protagonists, but today, these commentators are the real most high-profile people, they are the trump cards of each TV station to show their strength.

All TV stations are a game commentator and a professional commentator commentary combination, the former is the fast talk of each TV station, is to set off the atmosphere of the game, and the latter, are all NBA stars or coaches at home, these people are the fans' favorite live commentary, and only they can enjoy the star-like treatment today.
