In the Expo area, national pavilions compete for beauty.
Classicism, Romanticism, Baroque...
Renaissance style, eclectic architecture, Gothic architecture...
Almost all the major genres in the world are represented on this occasion!
At 8:30, the national pavilion had not yet opened, and the followers of various genres lined up in front of the corresponding pavilion early.
The French Pavilion, the United Kingdom, Sweden and Spain are the most popular pavilions, with the most visitors in front of the pavilions.
The architects who presided over the design of the National Pavilion and the art masters who exhibited their works attended in front of their respective pavilions and waited for the opening of the pavilion.
The least number of people waiting in front of the American Pavilion were nationals of modernist regional countries, journalists, and critics, and President Masson, the master of modernism, looked at the crowd in front of the French Pavilion from afar, and smiled wryly.
"It's going to be four months long, and we don't have to worry about the time."
Milo. Dressed in a suit, Masson whispered to the masters beside him.
A few people nodded, only to see Jamie. Master Derick swept his gaze, and then asked, "White Designer..."
"Designer Bai is waiting for the opening of the China Pavilion area."
Didn't wait for Jamie. After Drake finished speaking, President Masson explained first.
"I see."
In the area of the China Pavilion, the number of people waiting in front of the exhibition hall was somewhat unexpected, and there were not a few people waiting in line.
With just a cursory sweep, it is estimated that there are thousands of people.
About two-thirds of them were white or black, residents of Barcelona and the surrounding area, and the remaining one-third were yellow-skinned Chinese!
Some of them came here to study in Europe, take leave from work, and some flew from China!
A pair of eyes looked at Bai Jingtong, President Xue and the staff in front of them from time to time, and looked at the National Pavilion surrounded by high walls behind them from time to time.
There are volunteers who are maintaining order, patrolling back and forth...
At 8:50 Barcelona time, the large LED screen in front of the pavilion lights up and attracts everyone's attention.
Bai Jingtong and President Xue turned around and looked at the screen one after another.
The picture soon appeared, and when they saw the scenes and characters in the picture, all the Chinese in front of the exhibition hall cheered!
It was a very atmospheric and solemn office, with a desk in the front of the picture, a five-star red flag hanging on the left side, and a magnificent picture scroll of the Great Wall on the background wall of the office.
China's No. 1 chief sits at the table!
Bai Jingtong and other Chinese people showed respect on their faces, and the whites and blacks around them certainly recognized the identity of the figure on the screen, and they were at the helm of a big country.
"Welcome to the China Pavilion."
The chief's voice was deep and clear, and it sounded unhurriedly.
"The Barcelona Fair focuses on the world's art and culture, and this theme is related to every nation and country, and is the spiritual driving force that supports the survival and development of a country..."
The chief on the screen gave a welcome speech, he spoke in Chinese, and there was a simultaneous translation in English under the screen.
"In the China Pavilion, you will be able to learn about China's long-standing traditional art and experience the concept of life of the Chinese people..."
"Today, in the 21st century, China's traditional culture is still an important component of the world's cultural forest..."
In the chief's speech, he briefly introduced the connotation of the China Pavilion and thanked all the staff members who worked hard for the China Pavilion.
At the end of the day, the No. 1 leader wished the Barcelona Expo a success!
Everyone in front of the pavilion applauded.
It was close to nine o'clock, President Xue and Bai Hengtong pushed a few times, and then they only saw Bai Hengtong standing in front of everyone.
With a bright smile, he shouted under the lens of reporters from all over the world: "Welcome to the China Pavilion!" ”
"Now I announce the official opening of the China Pavilion at the Barcelona Fair!"
Once again, applause erupted.
At the same time, in the distance, cheers rang out in front of the national pavilions!
After Bai Juetong announced the opening of the museum, the staff next to him began to check tickets.
"White Designer."
At the front of the line was a white-skinned old man, and it could not be guessed from the old man's dress that this was a very cultivated old man.
After checking the ticket, he didn't walk directly into the exhibition hall, but took a closer look at Bai Juetong, only to see him shout.
"Is there anything you can help me with, sir?"
Bai Jingtong looked over and nodded in response.
"Thank you for the work you left for Barcelona."
The old man said seriously: "I like La Pedrera, Casa Batlló and Palais Güell very much. ”
"They belong to Barcelona and they really obsesse me!"
Bai Hengtong smiled and was about to thank him, but the old man followed and said, "The straight line belongs to human beings, and the curve belongs to God." ”
"You are the only great designer who snatched the line from God!"
The thanks to his lips suddenly stopped, and Bai Hengtong looked at the old man with some surprise.
After the old man finished speaking, he didn't look at Bai Jingtong again, and he walked into the door of the Chinese Pavilion with a serious and serious face.
"Designer Bai, we are all here to support you!"
"Your work is amazing!"
"I wonder what this Chinese pavilion will look like?"
"Please forgive me for my suspicions about you..."
"You're the designer who really knows Barcelona."
......
More and more Barcelona residents are checking their tickets, and young, middle-aged and even old people will inevitably praise each other when they pass by the white dove tree.
The Chinese people in the back line watched this scene in their eyes, and the smiles and expectations on their faces became stronger.
"Tong'er, you're awesome!"
A young brother from China gave a thumbs up, grinned, and shouted affectionately.
"Designer Bai can give us a long face this time."
"Yes, I just heard that Designer Bai has left amazing works in the past four months."
"And conquered the whole of Barcelona!"
"I don't know how this Chinese pavilion is, I'm really looking forward to it."
"Let's go and have a look."
"Designer Bai, let's go in first, see you later!"
......
Waves of Chinese, foreign tourists were put in.
There are also journalists, critics, artists with different minds...
The China Pavilion covers an area of nearly 5,000 square meters, first the gate, then the gatehouse, and the shadow wall.
To describe it in the phrase in the Peach Blossom Spring, that is:
'At the beginning, it is very narrow, and only then can it be passed. After dozens of steps, it suddenly became clear. ’
Grasp a point in everyone's hearts, when dissatisfied and doubtful, just turn around, and in an instant, 'suddenly meet the peach blossom forest'!
The previous depression and dissatisfaction suddenly erupted and reversed!
The first Western tourists, blacks, and whites to step out of the shadow wall suddenly hung their hearts when they saw the scene and object in front of them, and the whole person was shocked.
Some girls opened their eyes wide and covered their mouths, and some young men exclaimed...
A strong oriental aesthetics, a completely different sense, artistic conception suddenly erupted, forming a strong stimulus!
Their footsteps stopped beside the shadow wall, and they were pushed by the continuous influx of latecomers, but the latecomers who followed them were equally shocked and stopped!
Director Bolton walked out at the right time, looked at the stretching corridor, and saw the water, water, mountains, mountains and rocks, he noticed a completely different charm and artistic conception from the West, and the whole person was moved!
Everything here seems to be one and the same, even a stone or a leaf should be there.
It's full of life and delight.
It is different from Western gardens and buildings, the scale is tall and rigorous, and it is inevitable to lose its intimacy...
Tourists from China entered, their fists clenched, and their hearts rose with great pride and satisfaction...
"It will be the brightest and brightest new star of all the national pavilions!"
"The biggest surprise of the National Pavilion of this Expo!"
"It's from China, it's from that ancient civilization!"
