Chapter 393, I can't do it without you!
Although Lu Bu and Zhang Yimou met for the first time, they did not have that sense of strangeness, and after shaking hands, various businesses blew each other.
"Okay, you guys are here to talk, I've been on the set to play against each other." Chen Daoming left with interest, he knew that Zhang Yimou's purpose of coming to Lu Bu was a confidential matter, and staying by himself would hinder them.
"Thanks, Domin." Zhang Yimou thanked.
"You're polite to me." Chen Daoming said with a smile.
After the others left, Zhang Yimou went straight to the point and said to Lu Bu: "What about me, I was lucky to be elected as the chief director of the opening ceremony of the 2008 Yanjing Olympic Games, and I am now preparing for the program, and I want to invite you to participate this time." β
Lu Bu was stunned, a little surprised.
When I saw Zhang Yimou for the first time, I thought he was coming to him to film, and even prepared his rhetoric.
As it turned out, it wasn't.
The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games is the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, and it is a solemn and grand event full of ceremonies.
The opening ceremony of each Olympic Games is hosted by the host country or city, which is a rare opportunity to show the world the culture, history, customs and artistic level of the country or city, and it is also a platform for athletes, coaches and officials from various countries to communicate, get to know each other and interact with each other.
The opening ceremonies of different countries and cities have their own characteristics and highlights, but generally include the following parts.
1. At the entrance ceremony of the national flag, delegations from all participating countries and regions entered the venue one after another, and each delegation was led by a flag bearer draped in the national flag, which represented the unique culture and historical traditions of a country.
2. Cultural performances, the cultural performances in the opening ceremony are one of the highlights of the whole ceremony, covering music, singing and dancing, acrobatics, drama and other art forms to show the cultural and artistic level of the host country or city.
3. The Olympic flame is lit, the significance and performance of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games is not only a grand cultural exchange and sports feast, but also an important platform for a country and region to show its own culture, history and strength.
In short, the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games is not only an important part of sports events, but also an important platform for a country and region to showcase its culture and strength.
And Zhang Yimou is a low-key person, he once called himself a "layman", just a stupid bird flying first in movies, and often defined many things as "peasant practices".
After receiving the letter of appointment from the chief director of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games, the core creative team had just been established, and he opened his mind and casually proposed a torch shape and ignition plan, which directly scared everyone.
He felt that the bird's nest under construction should be named "Phoenix Nest".
First of all, it means that China flies from here.
Secondly, the torch is shaped like a feather of a phoenix, and the feathers flutter and pass on the five continents.
Finally, the feathers that fly around the world fly around the field and fly to a specific position at a high place, at this time the torch tower is born out of nothing, and the bottom of the torch is slowly unfolded like a folding fan, and the tenon is wedged in, and the risk of not catching fire is eliminated.
Such a coherent and end-to-end idea is not only coherent but also romantic, and he thought of a bunch of ideas like this, but after many trade-offs, most of them were overturned.
In fact, Zhang Yimou was not born with a big brain, but has been digging his own brain.
During the preparation of the show, his "City Full of Golden Armor" was also filming.
The creative team followed him to the set, and after he finished filming, he found an empty house to talk to them about ideas, and both sides worked together.
It can be said that from the moment he received the opening and closing ceremonies, Zhang Yimou pondered all the time.
At the beginning of his creativity, he sought innovation and change, and strived to make the audience who were accustomed to watching traditional large-scale parties feel fresh.
To put it simply, it's three words β it's different.
"I watched the live broadcast of the Asian Games, and your archery skills are very good, and I watched your filming just now, and your riding skills are also very good, I think it can be applied to the opening ceremony." Zhang Yimou already had a creative picture in his mind, Lu Bu was wearing armor, a horse under his hip, holding a bow and arrows, galloping around the field, and the five arrows shot the five rings that fell in the air one by one, and nailed them to the torch, and finally just arranged into the Olympic rings, and ignited the torch instantly.
"As long as Director Zhang can use me, he will definitely go to the soup." Lu Bu did not hesitate at all, although he could attend the opening ceremony as an athlete, but that sense of participation was equivalent to zero, if there was a show that could be on, a fool would refuse.
"I am also very familiar with Director Gao and Director Zhao, and they all told me that you are very good at the traditional culture and history and culture of our country, and you have restored many ancient costumes, utensils, and war ......," Zhang Yimou said.
"I understand a little, I just like blind research and blind tossing, and I know more about the Three Kingdoms ago." Lu Bu said modestly.
"So, do you know 'Reed'?" Zhang Yimou asked.
"Huh?" Lu Bu asked rhetorically.
"Yes, there is an idiom called 'striking and singing', which is the ancient ......," Zhang Yimou is explaining.
"I've seen a big-bellied and small-mouthed wine clay vessel." Lu Bu interrupted him.
"Seen?" Zhang Yimou wondered.
"Oh, I mean, I've seen it in ancient books." Lu Bu hurriedly came up with a reason.
"What book?" Zhang Yimou asked.
This is important because it has been months and the team has not been making progress on the opening show.
Usually the first program of a large evening party, ask for a lively.
And this liveliness relies on singing and dancing, and gongs and drums.
He wants this hilarious, but not drumming.
The reason is that this one is all bad.
For this reason, he even showed the Marlboro commercial he shot many years ago as a negative teaching material for everyone, and the drum sound in it shook the earth, and every stroke attracted his disgust and disdain.
He didn't want a drum, but he wanted an instrument that had a similar effect to the drums.
Someone nominated, fan, thousands of people fanned, swish, but the strength was not enough, and they couldn't keep up.
Someone nominated again, chopping the butt of the gun, thousands of people are like a pile driver, knock knock, the power is enough, but there is nothing new.
In this regard, he once again emphasized a general direction, not to be new, but to have never seen it.
After discussion, an ancient musical instrument was found, Zhu.
I haven't seen this before, and I've almost never heard of it.
But the blessing is like a funnel, there is no surface, and it can only be hit left and right.
Is it okay to cover a piece of drum noodles? Anyway, there is no living inheritance in China, which can blind people.
So I asked a music historian to argue, but when the expert heard it, he directly said that this was misled, because the neighboring South Korea and other three countries still have the living inheritance of Zhu, and if you do this, you will be laughed at.
Just when he couldn't go on, he thought of an idiom - striking and singing.
What is the reed? I've only heard it, I've never seen it, I don't have a living inheritance, and I won't attract criticism for what it looks like.
And just now he also asked Lu Bu casually, but he didn't expect that there would be surprises.
Lu Bu was asked, he was talking nonsense, where are the books, this thing is something that began to exist in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and it has not been lost in his time, but it can't be said that he has seen it with his own eyes, he was silent for a while, and he could only stubbornly say: "I forgot what books, but I can draw what I see." β
When Zhang Yimou heard this, he was suspicious, took out a pen and paper from his backpack and handed it over.
Lu Bu immediately took the pen and paper and drew with a brush.
Zhang Yimou has actually seen it, and there are pottery and copper ropes in the Shaanxi History Museum, but they are not the "ropes" of "striking and singing", no one knows, and how they are struck, and there is no record.
After a while, Lu Bu put down the pen, pushed the paper over, and said, "That's probably what it looks like." β
Zhang Yimou picked it up and took a closer look, and blurted out: "It's different from the unearthed one." β
Lu Bu raised his eyebrows, you have seen it and asked me to draw it, and immediately said, "What kind of unearthed is it?" β
Zhang Yimou picked up the pen and brushed and painted again.
Lu Bu looked at it and said: "This one of yours is Zun Yi and Lu Xuan, with a small mouth and a big belly, similar to a pot and a jar, as the name suggests, Zun Yi is used for wine, and Lu Yi is used for bathing, and the one I painted is 'Le Ling', the shape is a little square, like a box, and it is used for playing." (I'm blind, don't be exquisite)
When Zhang Yimou heard this, he said excitedly: "Really? β
Lu Bu said seriously: "Of course it's true, can I joke with you about this kind of thing?" β
Zhang Yimou hurriedly asked, "How is it played?" β
Lu Bu used his hands and mouth together, and gestured while explaining, and said, "That's it......"
Zhang Yimou and they have also studied, it may be with a hand, it may be with a mallet, it may be a tap on the mouth of the device, it may be a blow to the body, but these ways of hitting the reels are based on the Zun Reed and the Reed Reeds for reasoning, and now seeing Lu Bu's demonstration, there is a feeling of sudden enlightenment, and he immediately asked: "What about the sound?" β
Lu Bu thought for a moment and said, "Rough and powerful, between bells and drums. β
Zhang Yimou's eyes lit up, this was what he wanted, and he said happily: "Thank you, you have helped me a lot." β
Lu Bu smiled lightly: "It's hard work, why worry about it." β
Zhang Yimou gained something, was in a good mood, and asked again: "Do you know how to play Tai Chi?" β
Lu Bu said succinctly: "Yes." β
Zhang Yimou touched his forehead and fell into the trouble of happiness.
I want Lu Bu to carry out a fire ceremony again......
I also want Lu Bu to be the leader of the opening countdown......
I also want Lu Bu to sing the Analects in movable type printing......
I also want Lu Bu to participate in Tai Chi performances......
I still want Lu Bu to sing the Olympic theme song......
I can't do it without you!
For more than three hours, the two chatted in various ways.
Zhang Yimou has benefited a lot, and even feels that Lu Bu is more professional than those so-called "experts".
Is this twenty-six years old?
Is this high school not graduated?
As for Lu Bu, he just feels dry mouth and good mood.
He likes to talk about traditional culture, history and culture, especially with people who understand.
It's one of the great pleasures of his life.
In the end, Zhang Yimou did not clearly say which program Lu Bu was invited to participate in, but only decided to have him.
In addition, he also reminded him that some of the things he talked about today involve the creativity of the opening ceremony, and should not be passed on.
Lu Bu's mouth is old, what he can't say is that he won't say anything about Yu Feihong and the others together.
There is still some measure in this point.
Sending Zhang Yimou away and returning to the set, Lu Bu first went to say sorry to Gao Xixi and Zhao Jian, who had been delayed for an afternoon because of personal matters.
Gao Xixi and Zhao Jian expressed their understanding, and when they looked for him, they knew that there would be various things in the shooting.

In the evening, a group of people watched TV at LΓΌ Bu's residence.
Only a week has passed since the New Year, and major TV stations have presented the audience with a New Year's drama.
The first is CCTV's "Zhenguan Long Song".
It was started in 04 and finished in 06, and it took two years to shoot this drama, is this the spirit of craftsmanship?
The leading actors Tang Guiqiang, Chen Baowei, and Zhang Tielin are all first-class famous actors, plus Liu Yubin, Sun Feihu, Wu Liping, CCTV's veteran actors for many years, and there are fledgling stars such as Nie Yuan and Zhang Danfeng, and the cast is gorgeous and dazzling.
Then there is "Ming Dynasty 1566" by Hunan Taiwan.
As a "main drama", although it is not all based on historical facts, it is largely consistent with historical facts, the characters, plots and so-called Taoist costumes are very exquisite, starring old drama bones, it is definitely a boutique drama, each episode looks like a short movie, and the level is so high that it can be called a divine drama.
However, it is a bit "applauded", with an audience rating of only 0.61% and an audience share of 2.07% in the 31 rating cities across the country, ranking 8th in the same period in the country.
Finally, there is Yanjingtai's "The Star of the Sheep".
Lu Bu's second idol drama, and the rumored girlfriends Gao Yuanyuan and Jia Jingwen starred in the female number one and female number two, and it is difficult to watch it or not.
And "Full House of Romance" got off to a good start, showing the audience a different idol drama, which made "The Star of the Sheep" very high, with a premiere rating of more than 10%.
"Second brother, did you have a car accident while filming this movie?" Qin Lan remembered the news at that time.
"Well, the car lost control and hit the mountain." Lu Bu said lightly.
"It was a mountain that hit us at 100 kilometers per hour, and it scared us out." Gao Yuanyuan still has palpitations when he recalls the scene.
"Racing is still dangerous, and I don't usually dare to drive too fast." Zhang Jin has seen a lot of news about drag racing cars crashing and killing people.
"You have to pay attention to this, there are thousands of roads, safety first, irregular driving, and tears for relatives." Zhao Jian said one by one.
"I understand." Lu Bu knows better than anyone the preciousness of life.
And the TV series he filmed with a very dedicated attitude is slowly fermenting.
"Yes, it's much better than other vulgar dramas in Baodao Province, and the theme song "Our Remembrance" is really good."
"Good-looking, I watch the TV on time every day, the second brother is really handsome, Gao Yuanyuan and Jia Jingwen are also very beautiful, and it is difficult to choose."
"Although there is a bloody plot such as working with an ex-girlfriend and a brotherly dispute, the good thing is that the rhythm is tight, there is almost no nonsense in the whole process, and the cool and abusive points alternate with each other, which makes people want to stop watching."
"What is different from the general idol dramas in Baodao Province is that they are more realistic, close to life, very romantic, and very interesting."
"The appearance of the second brother driving a racing car is too charming, it is said that he is personally in battle, and he must give a good review."
"It's not bad, there are a lot of routines in it, the most important thing is that the actors' acting skills are online, and they won't make people play."
