Chapter 459: Shocking Opening Ceremony
Out of the Shilla Hotel, Lin Yuquan and the second daughter went to the Lotte Hotel again, originally he also intended to go to the Teddy Bear Museum, but unfortunately the Teddy Bear Museum stopped selling tickets at seven o'clock in the evening, and it was already closed at this time, and after turning around the Chinese Tourist Park, the three returned to the hotel.
There was nothing to say all night, and the weather on August 8 was quite good, because they had to rush back to participate in the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, Lin Yuquan and his second daughter only visited Longtouyan and Tiandiyuan Waterfall near the Hyatt Hotel, and then took a non-stop flight back to Kyoto.
As soon as he got out of the airport, Lin Yuquan drove his second daughter home first, and then returned to Ziyu Villa.
"Mom and Dad, I'm back!" Before he arrived in the living room, Lin Yuquan said loudly.
"You're back, did you have a good time with Shi Shi?" Mother Lin greeted her and asked with a smile.
"Pretty good, the scenery of Jeju Island is very beautiful, but unfortunately this time is limited, Dad, Mom, if you want to go there to play after a while, I will let the plane send you." Lin Yuquan chuckled.
"What to send, you kid, can't you buy a ticket yourself if we're going? China is not far from South Korea. Mother Lin scolded with a smile.
"Your mom is right, don't use private jets to pick us up, we have our own hands and feet, and we can take care of ourselves." Father Lin said.
"Okay, I know, we'll go together when we're free." Lin Yuquan smiled brightly: "Dad, Mom, you guys get ready, I'll go up to take a shower and change clothes, and then we'll set off to the Bird's Nest, first go around the neighborhood, and then check the ticket and enter the venue." ”
"Okay." Lin Mu said with a smile
For all Chinese, August 8, 2008 is an extraordinary day because today is the day of the opening ceremony of the Kyoto Olympic Games. It marks the official start of the Kyoto Olympics.
Early starts in the morning. A large number of opening ceremony staff, volunteers, police and performers have gathered at the Bird's Nest. Preparations are being made accordingly.
In the afternoon, tens of thousands of guests, spectators and athletes from all over the world poured in, making the Bird's Nest unprecedented and lively.
With the various Olympic slogans and festive decorations around the Bird's Nest, a strong Olympic atmosphere is blowing in the face.
"Oh, there are so many people." Looking at the crowded audience queuing up outside the Bird's Nest to check in for tickets, Lin Mu sighed: "It's a pity that the stadium is still too small, and it is very difficult to buy a ticket for the opening ceremony. ”
"Who knows? But I'm sure it won't be many, with only more than 20,000 tickets on sale out of a total of 90,000 tickets. After all, there are a few ticket sellers, but anyone with good economic strength will definitely not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to watch the opening ceremony. Lin Yuquan said with a smile.
"Yuquan is right, although the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games is held every four years, but in the capital of China, the Olympic Games hosted by us Chinese ourselves, for many of us, poverty may be just like this once in our lives, and we really need to cherish it." Father Lin sighed.
Lin Yuquan nodded, and the president of the International Olympic Committee, Samaranch, said in an interview with the media when China will host the next Olympic Games. It's not clear exactly how long it will take, but it's at least 20 to 30 years.
It can be seen from at least what he said. 20 to 30 years is already the ideal outcome. In fact, it's hard to do that, and the United States has the least time to go until a country hosts its next Olympics, from Los Angeles in 1984 to Atlanta in 1996, but there is no comparison. In addition to the United States, Australia took 44 years from Melbourne in 1956 to Sydney in 2000, and London from 1948 to 2012 after 64 years.
"Yes, it is precisely because of this that tickets for the opening ceremony are very rare, your brother-in-law is very envious of us having tickets, and it is said that their directors can't get one through their relationship." Mother Lin said with a smile.
"Of the more than 60,000 tickets allocated, a large part of which are distributed to members of the IOC and the Olympic family of various countries, and the remaining tickets are more monks and less porridge, and it is of course difficult to get tickets by virtue of relationships, and I was able to get three tickets because of my participation in the opening ceremony." Lin Yuquan had a smile in his eyes: "Actually, I was going to buy a few tickets for the second and third uncles, but you didn't let me do that." ”
"Of course you can't do that, the price of a transfer ticket for the opening ceremony has risen by more than ten or twenty times, and only those ticket sellers can do such a thing, and money should not be wasted, and more importantly, isn't it the same as making those ticket sellers satisfied? This kind of speculative behavior should be severely punished. Father Lin said with a straight face.
"Actually, I think so too, but it's a pity that the punishment for the bad behavior of ticket reselling is too low, and it's just a simple slight fine, which can't solve the problem at all." Lin Yuquan shook his head and said, in fact, similar behavior, in addition to severely cracking down on traffickers and punishing them with heavy punishments to dispel their luck psychology, the demand side in the supply and demand link should also be dealt with seriously and never tolerated.
However, demand, demand, since there is a demand, there is naturally an internal reason, and such an internal reason is often necessary, and it is not easy to crack down.
Lin Yuquan couldn't help laughing at himself in his heart, he didn't knowingly commit it, he didn't let Lin's father and Lin's mother know, so he bought 3 tickets for the opening ceremony at a high price, and gave them to Yifei, Aunt Liu and Shi Shi, originally he wanted to buy them for Shi Shi's parents, but unfortunately, it is not difficult to buy tickets at a high price, but it is difficult to buy a serial number, and it is not easy to buy two serial numbers.
Looking left and right, did not see a Fei and Shi Shi's figure, Lin Yuquan and Lin's father, Lin Mu chatted, while visiting the Olympic Village, although there was a bird's nest last time, but he did not visit, during the visit only to find that in addition to the competition venues, there are many commercial companies and banks in the Olympic Village to work here, sell products, and the style of the building can not only highlight the characteristics of the brand, but also have the appropriate Chinese style, and then go in to see the sale of goods, but also most of them are related to the Olympics, And Lin Yuquan and Lin's father and mother naturally bought some Olympic souvenirs.
During this time, he also joined Shi Shi until half-past six. Only then did the four of them line up for security checks.
And after entering the nest. Lin Yuquan had to be separated from Shi Shi again. Took Lin's father and Lin's mother to find their place and sit down, although the opening ceremony had not yet begun, there were already singing and dancing performances.
While Lin Yuquan chatted with Lin's father and Lin's mother in a low voice, they also enjoyed the wonderful singing and dancing program with relish.
The show did not last until the opening ceremony, but ended more than forty minutes before the opening ceremony, when the host began to teach the audience how to use the props handed out.
Time passed minute by minute, when the time came to 19:50, in the cheerful music. Leaders from various countries and regions and relevant organizations of the Olympic Committee walked up to the rostrum and waved to the audience, and the huge bird's nest was suddenly filled with thunderous applause like a tide, and it took a long time to stop.
Then the nest went dark, and everyone waited with anticrisy for the wonderful start.
"Bang bang bang", in the dark, a moving voice suddenly sounded in the bird's nest, and everyone in the audience was shocked in an instant, staring at the center of the stadium, there. With the powerful blows of the performers, the 2008 ancient Chinese percussion instruments divided into two squares emitted a desolate, ancient sound. It was like a stormy wave that hit everyone's mind, as if the ancient earth had descended, and every blow made people tremble.
Lin Yuquan had a smile on the corner of his mouth, this is the effect he wanted, originally in the design of Zhang Yi and others, it was to directly use the countdown of the array, but he felt that there should be a stirring performance before the countdown of the array, which shocked the soul like a catch, otherwise the visual effect of the countdown would distract the audience's attention and greatly reduce this performance.
And in front of the TV, in front of the TV set all over the world, there are countless viewers who cover their faces with their hands, looking at the TV screen dumbfounded, and are breathless by the impact of the turbulent waves.
The crowd couldn't extricate themselves, and the three minutes passed in a flash, and at this time, the white lights on the thread flashed in turn, combining the countdown numbers, 10, 9, 8, and 7
"Oh, it's incredible, it's so creative." Seeing this scene, the passion of countless audiences was ignited, and in the thunderous sound, they shouted loudly with the transformation of numbers: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...... Finally, the official start of the opening ceremony was ushered in: 20 o'clock.
At this time, 2,008 actors sang and chanted, "It's fun to have friends from afar."
"Wonderful, really wonderful." There is really no better way to express it, the audience and countless viewers in front of the TV subconsciously clapped their hands to express their excitement in their hearts.
"It's shocking," said Elapezon, director of Russia's REN TV station, as he watched the opening ceremony being broadcast.
At the same time, the same scene is happening in many places.
Without leaving any respite for the audience, the amazing array has just come to an end, the fireworks of the Bird's Nest fireworks display position have been blooming in the sky, under the colorful light, the entire Bird's Nest Stadium is like a blooming flower in an instant, and the gorgeous and changeable fireworks shape is even more eye-catching, addictive.
Lin Yuquan is also one of the admirers, and it is the first time in his life that he has seen such a dazzling fireworks display.
The wonderful opening ceremony was not interrupted by the audience's amazement reaction, "Feitian" dream five rings, huge picture scrolls, "ancient relics", three thousand disciples of Confucius, movable type printing, Peking Opera performances, Silk Road, Kunqu opera music, wave after wave of wonderful programs swept in, so that everyone was immersed in it, fascinated, especially when it came to the Tai Chi performance, it was a new high for the party. Tide.
Later, when the President announced the opening of the XXIX Olympiad in a loud voice, the night sky was lit up with brilliant fireworks, and the sound of applause and cheers endured in the Bird's Nest and in front of countless television sets.
At the end of the opening ceremony, Li Ning, who held the torch high, flew into the air, ran elegantly on a slowly unfolding Chinese-style picture scroll above the Bird's Nest, and soon ran to the torch tower to light the fuse.
Amid the deafening cheers and applause, the brilliant fireworks soared into the air again, and the atmosphere of the Bird's Nest reached its highest. Tide.
In the passionate and unrestrained music, the faces of all Chinese people are filled with pride and pride.
In the sound of passionate and unrestrained music, the faces of countless foreigners who watched the opening ceremony showed shock and amazement.

PS: Recently, I checked strictly, and I didn't dare to write about the ambiguity that I wanted to write at the Hyatt Hotel, so I could only write about the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, and write the opening ceremony of the Olympics in one chapter.
