Before coming, Tong Xiaorong studied the map.

It is about 30 miles from Hilton to Beiyuan Center, which is not far, and there is no traffic jam even at noon in Yanjing in 04.

This is a Mercedes-Benz off-road vehicle with a Yanjing license plate.

"What the hell?" Wu Dong looked at the DVD on the center console a little strangely.

"GPS navigation, you see, Wanshengke's."

Wanshengke? Wu Dong has never heard of it, probably a pioneer in the field of navigation.

"There's a navigation in the car, what map do you look at?"

Tong Xiaorong, "I don't like this thing the most, I really can't use it, I can't believe it." ”

It's not a touch screen, there are buttons underneath, it's old, and of course it's still new technology.

……

The car turned into the community, and on the left hand side was a three-story building with a small courtyard.

Outside is an ordinary street, the entrance of the old community, the building in the sixties and seventies and the office building in 2000 stand side by side, and the small building in front of it must be about 100 years old.

"Stop!" "Please show your pass!"

There is a guard at the door.

The guard knew Wu Dong, he was a little excited, but he still maintained the posture just now.

Wu Dong smiled: "Director Zhang Yimou asked me to come, you wait for me to call him." ”

"No, I have a pager here, I'll call it for you."

In 2004, some things were the same as 20 years later, and some things were worlds apart.

There is air conditioning in Mercedes-Benz, but Wu Dong got out of the car and carefully looked at the surrounding environment, I don't know what kind of trees are planted in the community, with small lilac flowers, clusters of particularly good-looking, and some phoenix butterflies flying up and down.

"Why don't you come in and sit down, it's hot outside." The guards opened the back door for Wu Dong.

"No, let me look at this flower, what kind of flower is this, is it crape myrtle?"

"Teacher Wu, look carefully, this is not a tree but a vine wrapped around the tree, I don't know the scientific name, Yanjing people call it drunken fish grass."

Wu Dong looked carefully, it was really grass, in the past, he had a software called apricot on his mobile phone, and he loved to take pictures when he encountered flowers and plants, but he couldn't remember it after the shooting.

The guard kept a straight posture and followed Wu Dong to speak.

"Stand over there, I'll be in in a moment, and don't stand with me under the sun."

The young man was very happy, he didn't expect Wu Dong to be so easy to talk to, and the reporters all said that Wu Dong didn't like to deal with people.

"Hey, hey, the Internet says you're cool, and it's not easy to say a word to you."

"Damn, I don't want to deal with those reporters, in the past, they said that I was a lewd bald middle-aged man, and they also said that I was a pervert, and I annoyed them......"

"Haha...... Well! ”

"Hey, Wu Dong, you can be regarded as here."

Zhang Yimou came out to greet him in person, and there were two people next to him, one was also seen by a bearded man named Chen Weiya when he was filming a discipline film in Shuzhong, Zhang Yimou's old partner; The other should be the host of this place, he handed Wu Dong and Tong Xiaorong the pass and helped register the vehicle.

"Let's go, let's go in."

Leaving Tong Xiaorong to go through the registration procedures, Wu Dong and the guards beckoned and followed Zhang Yimou and Chen Weiya into the small building.

"The conditions in this place are okay, the key is that it is pure and ordinary people can't find it."

"How's the ten-minute show going?" Wu Dong went straight to the point.

……

Wu Dong thought for a long time last night.

That last show in Athens was a disaster!

Audiences at all levels, audiences of all ages, there is no one who does not scold Zhang Yimou.

At that time, he said that Jiang Lang was protecting him, and everyone thought that he was scandalizing the Chinese!

There was a flood of bad reviews, and many people wrote letters to the competent authorities at that time, calling on the Yanjing Olympics not to use Zhang Yimou again.

Due to the scolding in the circle and the condemnation on the Internet, the leaders couldn't bear the pressure, and also thought that the designation of directors was problematic to be limited to a few objects, and later decided to open the bidding to the public at the opening and closing ceremonies in 2008.

At that time, Brother Chen Kai and Li Ping'an both ran out to compete with Zhang Yimou.

……

Chen Weiya snorted angrily and said, "If there are ten minutes, it will be eight minutes."

We've been doing it for half a year, and as a result, TM's Greece told us that we could only use a place the size of our palms as a performance venue. ”

Wu Dong, he can't remember the specifics of "......", it seems that the performance venue is really not big.

Zhang Yimou said helplessly: "Athens thinks it's their closing ceremony, so it's enough for us to send out an invitation." The equipment can't enter the field, and the stage is where you start the 100-meter track. ”

Chen Weiya, "All our creativity is useless, it's really a dojo in a screw shell!" Oh, and on the second floor, we've set up a space about the same size, and the actors are rehearsing. ”

Wu Dong glanced at Zhang Yimou.

…… You've got it all figured out what you're looking for me for......

Zhang Yimou understood, "I'm not satisfied myself, but it's not okay to not move at this time, no matter how bad the performance is, it's better than not being prepared." You help me grow my eyes, I can cut when I need to, and I can add if I want...... Walk, the stairs are on this side."

Zhang Yimou said as he walked: "Eight minutes, a small place, and I have to show the characteristics of our country, I really don't have a trick." ”

On the second floor, everything had been emptied, and a square venue was similar to the dance rehearsal hall of the new century.

The staff, the assistant of Zhang Yimou's team, and the actors are about the size of two classes.

"Director Zhang is here, Director Zhang is here"

"Ahh Wu Dong, Wu Dong is here. ”

"Ah, it's really Wu Dong, why is he here."

"He's also a director! Stupid ......"

……

"Look, everyone is here."

Rehearsal with makeup.

This pile is singing Peking Opera; This pile is dancing, Wang Doudou, Wu Dong knows; This bunch of beauties, I went to be much more shocked than watching on TV, Rao is Wu Dong is well-informed and also feels very stimulated, cheongsam, so short that the butt is split out!

Wu Dong remembered that some netizens commented that the underwear was also red.

Indeed, Wu Dong can also see it, but this is art! Lingerie model, Victoria's Secret is normal!

Zhang Yimou saw Wu Dong staring at the girls, "This is the first show, I think so, when we came on the field, both the athletes, the audience, and the volunteers were already very tired, so stimulate them first." Cheongsam, folk music, you see, erhu, pipa, pan drum...... Nice and novel......"

Wu Dong glanced at him hesitantly, "Director Zhang, this show ......"

Chen Weiya, "Many people oppose it, but Director Zhang insists. ”

Just together, Zhang Yimou, Wu Dong, and Chen Weiya's talking actors heard it clearly, and they all prayed with their faces.

A female director walked over, and she couldn't name her name because she was familiar, "These twelve girls are all selected by the sea, and I haven't taken classes and trained for three or four months." ”

Zhang Yimou looked at Wu Dong, "Alas! Forget it, if you have a better idea, change it! ”

The female director looked at Wu Dong painfully, in the past, some people raised objections and Zhang Yimou insisted, but Wu Dong didn't say anything, and Director Zhang was shaken.

Wu Dong's gaze swept among the girls.

They are all long legs, and the leg shape is perfect!

Well, that's not the point, this is Tang Yan, right?

The Peking Opera actor unconsciously shrank back, Wang Doudou looked at Wu Dong flatteringly, and the twelve girls were about to cry.

"Director Zhang, don't engage in cheongsam, the platform of the Olympic Games will promote our traditional costumes, and in a few years Hanfu will become the traditional costumes of the cold country!"

Zhang Yimou, Chen Weiya, female director, "Hanfu? ”

Wu Dong smiled and said, "Hanfu, the Twelve Flower Gods!" ”

The Twelve Gods of Flowers? The twelve girls looked enthusiastic and burst into laughter.

The Flower Dynasty Festival, also known as the "Flower God Festival", is one of the traditional Chinese festivals. It originated in the Spring and Autumn Period, was initially formed in the Jin Dynasty, and has a history of at least 2,000 years in China.

Although the venue is small, we can also create a picture of a rocking oar, twelve girls represent twelve months, plum blossoms, apricot blossoms, pear blossoms, peonies, ......"

Zhang Yimou groaned slightly.

Wu Dong said lightly, "The Olympics are in Yanjing, but it is also in China, the cheongsam and Peking Opera are all northern elements, and the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River don't think about it, and don't think about changing your face......"

Zhang Yimou smiled bitterly, "It's only eight minutes." ”

Wu Dong, "Hanfu, a good design is definitely better than a super short cheongsam!" ”

The ultra-short cheongsam can really be seen after the split, but the video is very unclear.
