Chapter 207: The opening of the Olympics, the Bird's Nest
We sat down in the stands of the Bird's Nest, still without saying a word.
After a long time, Ye Qian finally spoke.
"Do you remember the first time we passed through here?" Ye Qian asked.
"Of course I know," I said, "that when we first arrived in Beijing, construction hadn't started yet. I remember the first time I walked through with you, it was a dusty construction site surrounded by roaring machines, but now it has become a cozy bird's nest woven from a steel mesh like tree branches to weave a stadium with a capacity of 100,000 people. ”
"Its image is so perfect and pure, simple and elegant!" Ye Qian said with emotion.
"This bird's nest is the main stadium of the Beijing Olympics," I said softly, "and it is shaped like a nest that nurtures life." It is more like a cradle, where humanity holds hope for the future. ”
"The bird's nest has changed so much," Ye Qian said with emotion, "We have also changed a lot!" ”
"The ingenuity of the Bird's Nest," I say, "is that it slightly uplifts the entire outdoor terrain of the stadium and places many ancillary facilities under the terrain, which avoids the huge investment in excavation, and the uplifted slope slowly descends on the edge of the outdoor plaza, and the 2,000 open-air seats that form a warm-up field are organically integrated with the surrounding environment......"
"This saves a lot of investment!" Ye Qian said.
"What's even more amazing," I continued, "is that there is not a single column inside the Bird's Nest, and the grandstand is a complete unobstructed bowl-shaped shape, like a huge container, giving the stadium incredible drama and unparalleled power." ”
"This even and continuous loop will also give the spectators the best possible view, drive their excitement and motivate the athletes to sprint faster, higher and stronger!" Ye Qian agreed.
"Here, people are truly given the place of center!" I say for sure.
"yes!" Ye Qian muttered, "As soon as I saw this bird's nest, I thought of a scene I saw countless times in the countryside and mountains when I was a child: birds flying back and forth in the air, holding dead leaves and rotten grass in their mouths, and naturally building their own nests to shelter from the wind and rain in the frost, wind and cold rain." Now, the great builders of mankind share the story of the Bird's Nest in the city, including themselves, envying the natural layout of the Bird's Nest and the seemingly simple but not simple style. Birds that have fallen out of their children will eventually take off from their nests, fight alone, and set up another nest. The natural laws of human beings are similar to those of birds, and they have made up their own nests early on......"
"We're like birds," I said happily, "and now we need our own nests!" ”
"Yes!" Ye Qian nodded lightly, "So I've always cherished it, and I've been working hard!" ”
"Okay, let's not be emotional," I said to Ye Qian with a smile, "Let's watch the opening ceremony!" ”
Ye Qian smiled.
The opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics began.
Ye Qian and I watched the fireworks show excitedly.
At this moment, a "footprint" fireworks display from Yongding Gate along the central axis to the Bird's Nest set off the climax of the opening ceremony.
"This 'big footprint' is shocking!" Ye Qian exclaimed.
"It's amazing," I exclaimed, "and it's so creative!" ”
"What would you think if I said that the fireworks we saw on the big screen were not the real-time real-time aerial shots we take now, but a three-dimensional live-action video that took nearly a year to make?" Ye Qian asked mysteriously.
"Don't make this joke," I said to Ye Qian with a smile, "This kind of thing has attracted worldwide attention, who dares to fake it?" ”
"It's true," Ye Qian smiled, "The director team took into account the air traffic control of the aerial photography aircraft of the broadcast company, as well as the shooting time and angle, and finally decided to replace the aerial shooting with three-dimensional video, the 55-second video that the audience saw, a total of 29 footprints, only the 'footprints' of the last step into the bird's nest are real-life shooting." ”
"I don't believe it," I said earnestly, "you're kidding me!" ”
"You still believe it!" Ye Qian smiled and said, "In order to make the audience look and feel more real, the granularity of the image, the shaking effect of the helicopter shooting and so on were also considered in the production process of the video. Even, according to the weather conditions predicted by the meteorological department in Beijing on the night of the opening ceremony, gray fog was treated. ”
"The audience thought it was a live shooting," I said in disbelief, "and if this is really fake, and the audience won't be scolded to death after the opening ceremony?" ”
"I heard them say that it was to broadcast to the world without any mistakes," Ye Qian thought about and said, "So on the night of the opening ceremony, I first filmed a backup broadcast, and then switched to the scene, which is also required by NBC and BOB!" ”
"How do you know?" I asked, puzzled.
"You don't need to know this," Ye Qian smiled, "Do you think what they did was right or wrong?" ”
"What's right? What's wrong? I smiled and said, "Actually, no one has a standard." Just like love, can you tell right from wrong in many things? ”
"What do you mean by that?" Ye Qian asked curiously, "For example, or for example!" ”
"Okay," I said to Ye Qian with a smile, "once we had a quarrel over a trivial matter, so you proposed to stop the quarrel." You put forward two options for me to choose: the first plan is that we both admit that you are right; The second option is for both of us to admit that I was wrong. ”
"I know what you want to say," Ye Qian smiled, "The reason why some couples are not in harmony is because they have to distinguish who is right and who is wrong in everything. In fact, there are many small things in life in love that do not matter whether they are right or wrong, and it is the best way to deal with each other by developing understanding and tolerance of each other, so that love can be permanently harmonious and happy. ”
"It's so understanding," I said emotionally, "what a confidant! ”
"By the way," Ye Qian asked curiously, "When did we quarrel over some trivial matter?" ”
"I'll just make an analogy," I said with a playful laugh, "how dare I argue with you?" What you say right is right, and what you say wrong is wrong! ”
"I really don't have any opinions," Ye Qianxing said with slight disgust, "Let's watch the fireworks!" ”
"Borrowing this scene of fireworks," I said to Ye Qian, "I want to discuss love with you!" ”
"What love has to do with fireworks?" Ye Qian asked with a smile.
"Fierce love!" I said deeply.
"What is intense love?" Ye Qian smiled.
"Fierce love is a sudden outburst," I said to Ye Qian seriously, "like fireworks rushing to the sky and erupting volcanoes, it begins vigorously, dooming the shortness of the process and the grandeur of the ending; All the shocking things that come after the outbreak are destined to be premised on the stress of being overloaded. ”
"Can you give an example, or tell a story?" Ye Qian asked with a smile.
"Of course," I told Ye Qian earnestly, "in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the Hungarian court painter Nite returned from a visit to his family in Vienna and met the beautiful Miss Sasse at a party, and the two fell in love at first sight and quickly fell in love. Although the king Wilton at that time was almost old, he was not old-hearted, and he did everything he could to get the beautiful Miss Sas. In desperation, Shasi had to do everything possible to dodge. However, at a party, the king threatens the lives of everyone present to force Sasse into the palace. The kind-hearted Sasi agreed to the king's request and followed him into the palace. But she and Nite often risked their lives to meet in the academy late at night, telling each other about the pain of lovesickness, comforting each other, and encouraging each other. When the king heard the news, he was furious and ordered the warriors to stab the Nite sword to death. After the king's death, Sasi, who was pregnant, was able to inherit the throne and become queen. In honor of Neet, the Queen, despite secular criticism and royal opposition, selected the nude portrait that Nit had made for herself that year to be made into the first set of stamps in Hungary to be issued nationwide. ”
"It's quite intense," Ye Qian smiled, "Dare to fight with the king for a woman, the result is quite heroic!" ”
"Throughout the ages," I said to Ye Qian, "fierce love has encouraged too many people to fight for the freedom and beauty of love, and their struggle is hard, no matter whether they succeed or fail, they have left a lot of reverberating swan songs for the ages." ”
"I believe this," Ye Qian said seriously, "any fierce love will never be regretted." In the declaration of intense love, life is the foundation, love is the ideal, which needs to be understood more deeply, and it is more worthy of pursuing and defending, even at the expense of life to fight, this kind of love is awe-inspiring. ”
