With everyone's envious eyes on them, Sun Tao followed the staff out of the conference room. The stairs and elevators were spinning around, and Sun Tao couldn't figure out the room number, so he was taken to another conference room.
The staff member opened the door, turned around and made a gesture of invitation to Sun Tao.
It's still a conference room. The size and layout are similar to the one just now, with a rectangular room and an oval layout.
There were at least thirty or forty people in the room, and there were no name tags on the tables. Except for Zhang Yimou and Sun Tao, a bearded man, he didn't recognize anyone.
I can't tell whether the bearded man is Zhang Jigang or Chen Weiya and Sun Tao. They both seem to be the deputy chief directors of the 2008 Olympic Games and often appear in documentaries, but most people can't figure out who is who.
Zhang Yimou had already spoken while Sun Tao was scanning the door, "Sun Tao, come here and listen to my closing ceremony plan and give me some advice."
Sitting opposite Zhang Yimou, one person spoke first: "This is Sun Tao. They say he is a young boy. The word young became concrete when I saw him today. Hahaha, according to the popular saying nowadays, he should be said to be a handsome boy.
Oh, I'm Zhang Liguo. The ratings of the "China's Got Talent" show you created have suppressed the ratings of our CCTV programs at the same time. ”
Zhang Yimou introduced: "This is Director Zhang of our CCTV Sports Department, and he is also the biggest supporter of our performance."
Zhang Liguo said hurriedly: "Hey, hey, I am not the biggest supporter. This closing ceremony performance represents the image of our country. I am just providing logistical support and I am not even the person in charge."
The white-haired middle-aged man in a suit next to him smiled and said: "Director Zhang, don't be polite. Don't worry about people, property and property, your CCTV is the best."
The white-haired middle-aged man did not introduce himself to Sun Tao but just waved and said, "Sit down quickly. Director Zhang said that he met you when he first came here and wanted to invite you to give advice to him. This is a major matter related to the country's image. Be careful! ”
Many years later, Chinese people no longer need to rely on gold medals to prove themselves. People born after 2000 may not understand why their parents attach so much importance to the Olympics. The ratings and topicality of the Olympics are no longer as high as before, but when we were together A gold medal or an Olympic championship will be remembered for a long time. If you win an important competition, someone will really take to the streets to beat gongs and drums.
The white-haired middle-aged man's attitude was a little arrogant, but Sun Tao didn't take it seriously. He smiled and nodded and found an empty seat to sit down.
……
[Damn it, you are still young and energetic when you become famous, but this kid can do it. 】
[The people in the Publicity Department of the Olympic Committee are over the top. They asked people to come over to help without even introducing themselves. Why are you pretending? We are all here to discuss it anyway. I will be fine in a while. 】
[It’s really good. No wonder the novels he wrote can have the appearance of all living beings, young and old, as if they have experienced a lot...]
Zhang Yimou also nodded towards Sun Tao. Although he couldn't say anything, he was still a little sorry. After all, he had proposed to find the person, but he also fought for the opportunity to direct the Olympic closing ceremony. He is just a well-known film director now. He has not yet received national recognition and has been given the responsibility of director of the opening ceremonies of all major events by his leaders.
Sun Tao really doesn't care, but it's hard to change your habits but change your mentality. A virgin can become a Neptune, but it's impossible to be shameless and shy again.
Sun Tao: There are so many people who look down on me, who are you?
...Zhang Yimou began to talk about his own ideas, but it was different from Sun Tao's impression of the Olympic baby's playing, playing and singing. Lao Mouzi's suggestions were dragon dance, lion dancing, Olympic baby playing playing and singing, Peking Opera, Kung Fu, and little girl singing. "Jasmine".
Lao Mouzi stood up and faced the projector, "On both sides are our lion dance actors. In the middle, an actor holds a colorful ball and then the dragon dance team follows. The entire period here takes about three minutes, and the manpower required is estimated to be about thirty people. Then there is a group of girls showing off our culture and art using traditional folk music, and then there is a Peking Opera performance. Peking Opera is our national quintessence after all, and the next Olympic Games will be held in Yanjing... The last moment when the dance was completed, the actors Unfold the banner in your hand, it says 'WELCOMETOBEIJING' and 'Welcome to Yanjing', and then the little girl comes up and sings 'Jasmine'"
Zhang Yimou put down the highlighter and said, "My current design is like this. Our country's five thousand years of civilization are extensive and profound, but time is too limited. I can only choose these elements that best represent our Chinese culture to display."
"Crack, crackle, crackle." I don't know who started clapping first, and Sun Tao also clapped his hands.
Unlike the competition to direct the opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympic Games, the director of this closing ceremony was appointed by the leadership, so Zhang Yimou's plan can be said to be quite crude. The specific details are basically not shown, and it is all about general things.
After the applause, the discussion began.
The white-haired middle-aged man first patted the microphone, then turned and asked: "Director Zhang, please say a few words."
Zhang Liguo shook his head with a smile and waved his hand, "I said logistical support is logistical support. If Director Zhang needs dragon and lion dance, I will find the best dragon and lion dance team in the country. If Director Zhang wants dancers, I will help find the best one." You are a good actor. If Director Zhang wants to perform Peking Opera, I will find famous actors for you. I believe that no old artist will refuse such an important matter... Anyway, I will provide you with whatever Director Zhang wants..."
Zhang Yimou quickly bowed and thanked him.
The white-haired middle-aged man glanced at the crowd, "Let's talk, brainstorm ideas and give suggestions to Director Zhang."
Someone in the crowd laughed and said: "I dare not find faults, but I can barely make do with suggestions."
Zhang Yimou laughed loudly, "It's a great help to find faults at this time."
The white-haired middle-aged man said in a deep voice: "Don't be polite at this time. If the show fails, it won't be Director Zhang who loses his face alone..."
Sun Tao raised his head and glanced at the middle-aged man. Although he didn't know much about politics, he clearly felt that this man didn't agree with Zhang Yimou being the director of the eight-minute closing ceremony.
Who appointed Zhang Yimou to be the director of the eight-minute closing ceremony? It has not been mentioned in any interviews, documentaries, or written materials. However, everyone knows who supported Zhang Yimou at the Yanjing Olympics, because Zhang Yimou said it in the documentary , "Do I still have to go find so-and-so for this matter?"
Whether it was a power struggle or a factional fight, Sun Tao did not dare to participate. He shrank his body and tried to reduce his presence.
He was afraid of what he was afraid of, or maybe the middle-aged man discovered that Sun Tao was the one with the least background among all the people present.
Don’t you have to pick the soft persimmons and pinch them?
"Hey, um, Sun Tao, you're the last one to come in, so let's talk about it first." (End of Chapter)
