After spending a pleasant evening in the beauty salon, Jiang Changsheng returned to the manor.

On the morning of September 2, after personally checking Liu Xiaoli's body, Jiang Changsheng took Liu Xiaoli to the Beiyuan Conference Building.

Coming to the base camp of the director team of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Yanjing Olympics again, the atmosphere at this time is much more relaxed than last time.

Everyone had a bright smile on their faces, and after Zhang Yimou saw Jiang Changsheng, he immediately invited him to the reception room to make tea.

Jiang Changsheng quipped: "Yes, Director Zhang, it's time to make tea." ”

Zhang Yimou smiled so much that the folds on his face came out, and he said: "The framework of the opening ceremony plan has all come out, and the above has agreed."

The busyness of this period has finally borne fruit, and everyone can breathe a sigh of relief and take a short break.

After the general direction is determined, the details of one program after another. ”

Jiang Changsheng said: "That's congratulations, the way of work lies in relaxation, and you should really take a break, especially if you are engaged in artistic creation."

If you push too hard, you're not inspired. ”

Before Zhang Yimou could speak, Cheng Danqing next to him said: "Compared to inspiration, it is still Mr. Jiang, your cow pen, and the creativity of the opening ceremony is several of which you proposed."

And your song is popular now, my buddy abroad said, your "Unstoppable", "Move Your Body" and "Centuries", these three songs are popular abroad, and many foreign fans know and even look forward to the Yanjing Olympics after listening to this song.

You alone have more propaganda power than the entire official. ”

Cheng Danqing is anti-physique, and he has to criticize the official anytime and anywhere, Jiang Changsheng said with a smile: "The MVs of my three songs are all officially filmed, and they are all the result of everyone's joint efforts." ”

After star sky, Jiang Changsheng successively released the MV of three English songs, that is, Cheng Danqing's "Unstoppable", "Move Your Body" and "Centuries", compared to star sky's works that are biased towards pure music, these three songs are pop songs.

And the rhythm is dynamic, and once it was launched, it was a huge hit.

Many fans are already calling on Jiang Changsheng to put the new album on sale as soon as possible, because there is only a MV, and many scenes cannot be listened to, especially some running and sports enthusiasts, who need an audio version.

However, Jiang Changsheng was unmoved, and still planned to release a new album on October 1, during which he would also release the MVs of the two songs Victory and Brave.

When it comes to singing, Zhang Yimou said: "The theme song of the Olympic Games has been decided, and the specific singing will be kept secret now, but you are the singer, and it is unanimously agreed by the top and bottom." ”

Jiang Changsheng nodded: "No problem, my singing skills, you can put a hundred hearts." ”

Teacher Niu Huan's singing skills were the top at that time, but it may be because of the tone, when he sang Me and You with Sarah Brightman in his previous life, the comprehensive effect was not as good as Brightman's.

If Jiang Changsheng came to sing, of course he would not have this problem, his treble could be higher than Brightman's.

Zhang Yimou looked at Liu Xiaoli, who was bright and atmospheric beside Jiang Changsheng, even if he watched it many times, a sense of amazement still inevitably rose in his eyes.

"Changsheng, you brought Liu Xiaoli over, her injuries have fully recovered?"

Jiang Changsheng took a sip of tea and said, "Yes, Sister Xiaoli's health is completely fine.

She doesn't have much work recently, mainly taking apprentices in the Chu Yun Song and Dance Troupe, and the rest of the time can cooperate with the training of the opening ceremony. ”

During the period when Liu Xiaoli was recuperating from her injury, the performance of the Chu Yun Song and Dance Troupe did not stop, and Liu Xiaoli's eldest apprentice Zhang Susu took Liu Xiaoli's place and still toured all over the country.

Although without Liu Xiaoli, the tickets are not particularly easy to sell, but the attendance rate can often be six or seven percent, which is very good, and the members of the dance troupe can support themselves without Liu Xiaoli.

Jiang Changsheng saw that Zhang Yimou had doubts, so he said, "Let's go to the big classroom to practice." ”

Several people came to the big classroom, where there were a bunch of children, training hard to prepare for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.

Jiang Changsheng didn't disturb them, but came to a clearing with Liu Xiaoli.

He grabbed Liu Xiaoli's waist and threw Liu Xiaoli four or five meters into the air with a gentle send.

Liu Xiaoli was once again in mid-air, showing a beautiful dance.

Although the two haven't danced together for a long time, they cooperate tacitly, and a set of dance moves is easily displayed.

Jiang Changsheng is mighty, Liu Xiaoli is elegant, and the dance of the two is very beautiful, one yin and one yang, one soft and one rigid.

Zhang Yimou saw it, and there was a trace of tears in his eyes, and he sighed: "The last time I saw them dance, it was the Asian Olympics, and more than three years have passed.

Time flies so fast, I feel like I'm getting a lot older, but Jiang Changsheng and Liu Xiaoli, their appearance hasn't changed much.

This dance is as beautiful as ever. ”

Cheng Danqing, Zhang Jigang and others watched Jiang Changsheng and Liu Xiaoli's dance before, but when they watched it live this time, the shocking feeling was completely different.

Zhang Jigang sighed and said: "It's a pity, such a good program has been performed at the closing ceremony of the Asian Classics, otherwise it would be better to stay at the opening ceremony." ”

Zhang Yimou said: "It's okay, we can design Liu Xiaoli's water sleeve dance, which will show better results when flying into the sky and uncovering the Olympic rings." ”

Jiang Changsheng didn't jump much, after all, Liu Xiaoli had rested for more than four months, and her body had just recovered, so she still had to take it step by step.

Zhang Yimou looked at Liu Xiaoli, who was a little out of breath, and exclaimed: "Teacher Liu is worthy of being an internationally renowned national treasure dancer.

You've directly overcome your own psychological barriers, strong! ”

Liu Xiaoli politely said thank you and didn't explain much.

Her mentality is the same as that of her daughter Liu Yifei, as long as Jiang Changsheng is by her side, she will have an absolute sense of security, enough to move forward and have the courage to face any difficulties.

After the drill, Liu Xiaoli joined the opening ceremony performance, and it was decided.

Zhang Yimou said again: "Changsheng, there is an Olympic essay contest above, didn't you go to participate?" ”

Jiang Changsheng glanced at Zhang Yia in surprise and asked, "Did you look for me above, but I refused, what does this have to do with you, why are you asking this?" ”

Zhang Yimou touched his nose and explained very far-fetched: "Didn't I hear that your "Clockwork Girl" won the Best Feature-length Science Fiction Award at this year's Nebula Awards, so I thought that with your writing ability, I would definitely be able to write a classic about the Olympics."

So I would like to remind you. ”

Jiang Changsheng instantly understood: "I write an Olympic theme, you are the director of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games, and then you can justifiably adapt the Olympics I wrote into a movie and make it." ”

Zhang Yimou smiled and did not deny it.

As he gets older and older, Zhang Yimou's understanding of his limitations becomes more and more profound, and he gradually knows the weakness of his films, that is, the story is not strong enough.

A good script is needed to support it.

If you want to say which screenwriter is the best in China now, it is, of course, Jiang Changsheng.

At the end of August, the sci-fi clockwork girl he wrote to Lin Yiya won the Nebula Award.

The Nebula Award is one of the three science fiction awards, and this is the first time that a writer in China has won this award, but Jiang Changsheng did not accept the award.

This was written to Lin Yiya, he asked Xiaoya to accept the award on his behalf, and by the way, let her travel abroad to relax.

This girl is crazy about experiments, and she has a tendency to be obsessed.

Jiang Changsheng often found various reasons to let her rest.

Once Lin Yiya entered the rhythm of the experiment, she didn't recognize her six relatives, and she didn't even listen to Chen Mang's words, and only Jiang Changsheng had the ability to drive her abroad to play.

Jiang Changsheng said: "I haven't had much inspiration recently, I rarely write, so the Olympics will be like this, I am writing songs to promote and provide ideas for the opening ceremony."

also sang the theme song, and the contribution was enough, so I didn't participate in the writing of the article. ”

Several people chatted for a while, mainly agreeing on the plan and time of Liu Xiaoli's training.

Under Jiang Changsheng's care, the plan was more reasonable.

The training time is neither particularly tight nor long, after all, Liu Xiaoli's flying shot is not long, at most about half a minute to a minute.

After finishing Liu Xiaoli's opening ceremony performance, Jiang Changsheng refused Zhang Yi's invitation to have dinner together, but left the Beiyuan Conference Building with Liu Xiaoli.

The two did not go home, but took a car to the Dadi Theater together, Liu Xiaoli was going to the theater to guide the apprentices, and after her body recovered, she officially entered the work state.

The whole person is also a little more energetic than staying at home.

On the way, Jiang Changsheng advised: "You support your return to the stage, but the frequency of performances in the future should be minimized."

I have already communicated with the selection of next year's awards and titles, and you are nine out of ten.

In the future, you will be the top dancer in China, whether it is popularity, honor, or position, you can get it.

As a senior, you can spread some of your energy into a teaching career.

Take more students with you in the dance company, or go to dance TV shows as judges to guide juniors.

If you want to dance, you can also dance more on the ground, which is less physically demanding. ”

According to her actual age, Liu Xiaoli is 48 years old this year, and she will be in her fifties in a few years, and she can still hang a tightrope in the air at will, which is indeed a bit too high-profile.

In order not to attract too much attention, Liu Xiaoli reduced her high-altitude dance performances and danced more on the ground, or did some behind-the-scenes work, which is also the right thing to do.

Liu Xiaoli also knew Jiang Changsheng's concerns, so she nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'm measured." At the end of this opening ceremony, I felt that my dancing career was perfect.

Later, it will be regarded as a hobby and developed at will. ”

For Liu Xiaoli, Jiang Changsheng is still very relieved, she has decisiveness and rich experience, and she doesn't need Jiang Changsheng to interfere too much, unlike Liu Yifei, who is still as tiger as always, and is easy to be impulsive.

After the two came to the theater, Liu Xiaoli went to work in the dance troupe.

Jiang Changsheng came to the fifth floor and directly entered Zhu Zhu's office.
