Chapter 673: Rehearsal for the Closing Ceremony
Luzhniki Stadium. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At 10 p.m., the night in Moscow has darkened, but the stadium is still brightly lit, and this is the last rehearsal, where the closing ceremony and the final will be held tomorrow.
The closing ceremony was led by the famous Russian director Alexander Sokolov, and at the height of the stadium stands, Sokolov held a walkie-talkie to control everything in the stadium.
"What about Vitas? How's the preparation? ”
There was a rustling sound on the other end of the intercom, "No problem, just follow the process." ”
"That's good."
Vitas is a Russian national treasure tenor, and his stunt is the towering dolphin sound, which will be sung at the closing ceremony tomorrow.
Sokolov looked around, in order to present the most perfect closing ceremony, the seats at the Luzhniki Stadium have been doubled, and the flying cat has also been re-debugged, so there should be no problems, but Sokolov is still worried, after all, the closing ceremony is too important, and he is always worried about which detail has a little problem, and it will be a big trouble.
Looking at my watch, there is one last item to finish tonight.
"Alright, let Vitas take the stage."
……
……
After Vitas's heavenly song, the audience fell silent, and then burst into applause, which was so beautiful that it was intoxicating.
Sokolov couldn't help but applaud, "Great, as long as tomorrow goes as smoothly as today, then everything will be fine." ”
Just when everyone was finishing work, the assistant hurriedly ran over, and Sokolov saw him at a glance, this guy was not only his assistant, but also his agent, and the two had been working together for a long time.
"What's wrong?"
"Something went wrong!"
Sokolov chuckled in his heart, he was most afraid of hearing this sentence now, after all, the final will be tomorrow, and it will be difficult to deal with any problems at this time.
After calming down, Sokolov pretended to be calm and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"There's a problem with the caddy."
"That's fine," Sokolov thought to himself.
"Don't worry, you can talk about it carefully."
It turned out that the ball boys in the final were half French children and half Chinese children, and the organizing committee required them to be orphans, reflecting the humanitarian feelings of the World Cup.
But I don't know who did it, and one of the Chinese children was found to be not Chinese, but Filipino.
Sokolov is worthy of a director, and his first thought is not to blame, but to meet the child.
"What's your name?"
The little boy with slightly dark skin said timidly, "Zhouzhou." ”
"Really?" Sokolov asked with a smile.
The little boy seemed to have done something wrong, and in desperation, he burst into tears.
Sokolov was stunned for a moment and comforted: "Don't cry, I don't blame you, I just want to know what's going on." ”
It's not complicated, the call for caddies was carried out in Greater China, and there are also in Hong Kong, and the little boy's parents were killed when they were smuggled into Hong Kong, and the little boy was taken into an orphanage in Hong Kong.
The little boy is very self-motivated, he also likes football, and he likes Zhou Dun the most, and this time he signed up when he heard about the call for caddies.
The director of the orphanage thought about it again and again, so he reported him, and God rewarded him for his hard work, and the little boy's usual football talent impressed the director.
After understanding what happened, Sokolov was a little moved, "Can you tell me your real name?" ”
"Lucas."
"Lucas."
In the end, Sokolov made a decision, "I'm in charge, this matter is decided, Lucas can be a caddy tomorrow." ”
"But we have to communicate this matter with the Chinese team," Sokolov said to his assistants.
*****
"It's a trivial matter, they are all orphans, and besides, he admires Zhou Dun so much," Li Guo said when he heard the report.
Sokolov's assistant smiled, it turned out that the Chinese team didn't care at all, or he was sensitive.
Soon this matter spread in the Chinese team, Mu Fei changed his stubborn nature this time, and said seriously: "What a poor child, it must be very difficult for both parents to die." ”
Geng Chong learned on the Internet that other orphans just don't have parents, but they still have relatives, but they can't afford to raise them, but Lucas really doesn't have any relatives.
Zhou Dun usually doesn't smile, but he is the most enthusiastic in his heart, "Why don't we take advantage of the heat of the finals, let's help publicize it, maybe we can change the fate of the child." ”
Li Guo is right to think about it, just like the Afghan child, his fate changed after he caught up with Messi for accidental reasons.
There are a lot of poor people in this world, but who cares too much about it, unless it is to cause a topic.
"Okay, let's take a short video and put it on our official Weibo."
Soon, the story of little Lucas spread on the Internet, many people said that they wanted to fund Lucas, and some people said that they could adopt Lucas, and the most ridiculous thing was that in the Philippines, hundreds of people who claimed to be Lucas's relatives appeared.
At the same time, the Chinese team and director Sokolov were also praised, especially the director, who did not rudely ask for a change, but had the social responsibility that a filmmaker should have, which is rare.
However, Sokolov thanked Lucas in turn, because in the past half month, for the closing ceremony, Sokolov has suffered from severe insomnia, and as long as he falls asleep every day, it is a nightmare of the closing ceremony failure.
I remember the mistake that the Olympic rings were not opened at the closing ceremony of the Sochi Winter Olympics, which has always been a pain in the hearts of Russians, so the Russians attach great importance to the theatrical performance of this World Cup.
But after Lucas's incident, Sokolov felt that he was unfounded, and if the mistake really happened, then he had to continue to live, just like the optimistic Lucas.
In the end, Sokolov decided to sponsor Lukas to come to Russia for youth training after the World Cup. What made Lucas even happier was that he then received a jersey signed by Zhou Dun.
It is really touching that the World Cup in full swing can have such a heartwarming scene, but after the interlude, the eyes of the world still converged on the final.
At Moscow airport, blue French fans and red Chinese fans have become the most common scenery in recent days, according to the organizing committee, French fans and Chinese fans each accounted for one-third of the final, and the rest were fans of the host country, Russia.
The final is about to start, and in addition to Vitas' dolphin sound, what everyone is most looking forward to should be the cheering sound on the spot.
The Chinese fans are well prepared this time, and when the time comes, the Chinese battle cry and the huge TIFO will be restored.
On the French side, the fans are like 20 years ago, and the French want to relive the old dream of the World Cup.
