Chapter 826: You're an Old Fool!
All the way to the University of Physical Education.
Zhang Yimou didn't make it clear on the phone just now, Gu Bei thought that his eldest girl had an accident, so he hurried over, but saw Xiaoxue squatting on the ground against the wall and eating popsicles, and followed his companions to talk and laugh.
"Dad! Why are you back, our rehearsals won't end until the afternoon! ”
Xiaoxue saw Gu Bei running in in a hurry, and hurriedly got up to meet her, thinking that Gu Bei was here to pick her up.
Call......
After looking at it carefully, I saw that Xiaoxue was all over the shadow, and there was nothing wrong, so I let go of my hanging heart.
On the way just now, he almost didn't die in a hurry.
"What about Zhang Yimou?"
After confirming that his daughter was fine, Gu Bei remembered Zhang Yimou.
This turtle grandson.
"Director Zhang?"
Xiaoxue looked around, she was still here just now, why are there no people here?
At this time, Zhang Yimou walked in with several people from the director's team.
"Dad! Uncle Zhang! ”
Xiaoxue pointed behind Gu Bei.
Gu Bei hurriedly looked back, his eyes as if he was about to stab Zhang Yimou.
"Yo! It's coming fast enough! ”
Zhang Yimou said, and put the last bite of the popsicle into his mouth.
"Why are you sick? I didn't know what to say on the phone, so I just said, 'Something happened', and when I called you again, you turned off your phone, which almost scared me to death. ”
Witnessed by everyone in the gymnasium, Zhang Yimou, an international director who was like a god in their hearts, was trained by Gu Zhen and her father like a third grandson.
"Dad, such old people are watching! You...... Be careful. ”
Seeing that everyone was looking this way, Xiao Xue gently pulled Gu Bei's hand and reminded.
Belch......
Gu Bei reacted at this time, but at this moment, he was angry, how could he care about this.
Zhang Yimou took out his mobile phone from his pocket and glanced at it: "It's out of battery!" ”
!
Gu Bei almost slammed his fist over, he had never seen such an out-of-tune.
Zhang Yimou also understood what was going on, his face was full of embarrassment, but he was unconvinced: "Xiaoxue, this girl is here with me, there are so many staff, and there are teachers staring, what can happen?" ”
As he spoke, he also looked at the crowd around him, and the people who were swept by his gaze dodged one after another, pretending not to see anything just now.
"Xiaoxue, you should go and rest first, I'll talk to your dad about something."
Xiaoxue agreed, turned around and slipped away.
"Tell me, what the hell is going on?"
Since Xiaoxue is safe and sound, if Zhang Yimou can rush to him for help, the matter will definitely not be small.
Zhang Yimou wanted to explain, but he didn't know what to say, so he simply asked the assistant to bring the laptop.
"See for yourself!"
What the hell is going on?
Gu Bei was puzzled, the assistant had already opened the laptop, and then clicked on a video.
In the video, one of the programs of the opening ceremony is performed, movable type printing.
What's wrong with that?
Gu Bei was just about to ask, and his expression suddenly became serious.
The show was performed by more than 800 people, up and down, forming different patterns, which was fine at first, but there was a problem in composing the "and" characters in different fonts.
The rehearsal obviously did not achieve the expected effect, and when composing the pattern, there were mistakes in many positions, those who should have gotten up got up late, and those who shouldn't have gotten up, but they got up.
"Lao Gu, it's time for this, there are only three weeks left before the opening ceremony, and the rehearsal is still like this, if it can't be improved, I can only start the alternative program."
When formulating the plan, in order to be foolproof, in addition to the set program, three alternative programs were also prepared, and once the rehearsal did not achieve the expected effect, or if there was a problem in the rehearsal process, the alternative program would be immediately put on top.
But in this way, the content of the whole show is incomplete.
"Lao Zhang, is this your opinion, or the opinion of the entire director team?"
"We just had a meeting, everyone's opinions are still relatively unified, this movable type printing performance is too difficult, even if there is no problem during the rehearsal, but no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents on the day of the opening ceremony."
When Gu Bei heard this, he did not express his opinion immediately.
He could understand Zhang Yimou's worries.
This grand event, the Chinese people have been looking forward to it for more than 100 years, the last time they bid for the Olympic Games, they lost to Sydney at the last moment, and the whole country is holding back a lot of energy.
When the Olympic bid was successful in 01, the whole country rejoiced.
For this year's Olympic Games, in the past few years, the country has invested a lot of manpower and material resources to show a new China and a new Beijing in front of the world's audiences on August 8.
If there is a problem in any part of the opening ceremony, no one can afford this responsibility.
But......
"What show can guarantee 100 percent of the time?"
What?
Everyone was stunned.
Who can guarantee it?
On the day of the opening ceremony, all kinds of situations can happen, even if there is only a small probability, but the possibility of accidents still exists.
"In the opening show, who can guarantee that every reel, every percussion can be lit? The mountains and rivers in the middle, can the LEd large screen guarantee that there will be no problems? ”
Zhang Yimou looked at Gu Bei and didn't speak for a long time, obviously, he couldn't guarantee it, and no one present could guarantee it.
"Lao Zhang, as long as it is a performance, there is a certain probability that there will be problems, and now the non-stop rehearsals are just to find problems in advance and reduce the probability of problems to a minimum, is it because you are worried that you will replace the program?"
Every program at the opening ceremony is a design plan proposed by Gu Bei based on the memories of his previous life, and in the eyes of him, a traverser, without any of them, the whole show would not be perfect.
"However, Mr. Gu, the problem now is that there have been frequent problems in the recent rehearsals of the movable type printing program, and it is ...... It's really too difficult, more than 800 people perform together, even if it's designed, but it's hard to do synchronization, and ah, every time the pattern changes, there will always be such and such problems, we have thought of a lot of ways, but it's ......"
"What's it?"
Gu Bei looked at the assistant director who spoke.
"Is this the spirit of the Olympics to retreat when you encounter difficulties?"
In a word, all those who wanted to complain were silenced.
"We have waited for a hundred years, waited for a hundred years, waited for the Olympics, looked forward to the Olympics, we can't be like athletes, win glory for the country on the field, but as literary and artistic workers, we can use my profession, our knowledge, in front of the world's audience, to perform a wonderful opening ceremony, to show the world our Chinese style, to make this Olympic Games opening ceremony not only unprecedented, but also in the future no one can surpass the existence, this is the responsibility of our literary and artistic workers."
In the future, London, Rio, and every opening ceremony of the Olympic Games will be compared with the capital, and then countless people will complain.
The Tokyo Olympics on a small day?
Don't mention it!
Everyone believes that the only possibility that the Beijing Olympics can be surpassed in the future is for China to host it again.
Gu Bei had experienced that grand event in his previous life, so he was even more desperate to hope that this time, it would still be perfect.
"Back off when you have a problem? What else do you want us people to do? When we encounter a problem, we find a way to solve it, which is the meaning of our work. ”
Two years have passed since the opening ceremony was first tendered.
The hard work of so many people is negated just because the rehearsal did not achieve the desired effect?
For example, in the show of movable type printing, the soldiers who participated in the performance had to be stuffed in the character mold, even if it was a scorching heat and cold winter, and rehearsed for seven or eight hours a day, and many of them were exhausted after the end.
Many people were injured more than once during rehearsals.
Now to negate their efforts?
Gu Bei couldn't accept it and resolutely opposed it.
"Let's have a meeting and discuss the solution, and here we can't do anything."
Zhang Yimou spoke, as the chief director, he had to be the one who made the final decision.
Everyone was silent for a moment, nodded, and then went to the lounge of the gymnasium together.
It's just that......
You discussed, why did you drag me over?
After the plan was passed, Gu Bei had already retired.
How did this involve him again?
"You just need to discuss a solution, I'll ......"
Zhang Yimou grabbed Gu Bei's arm, as if he was afraid that he would run away as soon as he let go.
"Don't pick yourself up so cleanly, you proposed the plan of the show, and you were resolutely opposed to changing the show just now, if you don't help find a way, it will be difficult for us?"
The point is that you are still scolding me in front of so many people, how can I make it so easy and let you go.
That's really ......
Gu Bei was also helpless, he couldn't leave, and he could only follow Zhang Yimou to have a meeting.
Someone put the show's initial camera onto the big screen.
When Gu Bei proposed this design, it was unanimously recognized by everyone, and from the perspective of the simulation effect, it was absolutely shocking.
Not only is the visual effect good, but most importantly, the meaning is also good, with several different fonts of "and", as well as different patterns such as the Great Wall and the Bird's Nest.
Another point is that Nanbang stinks and shamelessly some time ago, and I have to say that movable type printing was invented by them.
The more you say, the more foreigners believe, and take advantage of this event to let people who don't know the truth understand what the truth is.
But how to solve the problems that arise in the rehearsal room,
The difficulty now is password transmission, and now it relies on walkie-talkies, but more than 800 people give instructions together, which is indeed a bit difficult.
The previous approach was to divide into groups and regions, but this required the actors to memorize a large number of different commands.
"Can we change the way we receive instructions?"
"How?"
I haven't figured it out yet.
Gu Bei looked at the simulation demonstration on the big screen, and he didn't figure out why for a long time.
"Give me two days and I'll figure it out."
If a person can't think of it, then brainstorm, but it's definitely not with the director team, they have already denied the show in their hearts.
