It felt like Lao Mouzi still had the idea of a hodgepodge, and Sun Tao secretly felt sorry for him.
After thinking about it, Sun Tao couldn't help but chuckle to himself. He was so arrogant that he actually came up with the idea of saving Zhang Yimou. Zhang Yimou needs you to save him. Eight minutes in Athens was just a nap for a tiger.
……
The members of the directing team are all happy people, and the results came out in just three to five minutes.
Zhang Hao sang the votes, and Sun Tao wrote the word "正" on the small blackboard. There was no way anyone could keep him young.
Fortunately, Sun Tao had practiced "Pang Zhonghua Copybook" and his speech was quite passable and he was not afraid of showing his timidity.
"Peking Opera, calligraphy, Tai Chi, roast duck."
"Kung Fu, Temple of Heaven, classical dance, Peking Opera."
"Peking opera, stilts, cheongsam..."
"Peking Opera..."
……
2024 Peking Opera has long since declined. Its influence on Douyin is not even comparable to that of Guo Degang, but in 2004 it was still the quintessence of the nation. Especially in Yanjing, almost everyone has Peking Opera in their ticket.
The era is the era. Sun Tao, a rural woman from the Northeast, can still sing "Red Lantern", but look at how many people born in the 2000s still listen to Peking Opera and talk about Peking Opera. Although the opera is very popular, it is not Beijing opera.
What will foreigners say when they mention China in 2024?
High-speed rail! Mobile payment, infrastructure maniac, 055 big driver, still a street slut "Yinchuan", 815 for others to play "Pleasant Goat", heavy-duty synthetic brigade.
If you think about it carefully, who can believe that none of these things existed 20 years ago?
……
"Xiao Sun, what are you thinking about? Peking opera and kung fu are gone."
In 2004, a local election of major figures in the domestic entertainment industry selected Peking Opera as the one that best represents Chinese culture.
Peking Opera and Kung Fu top the list, and the others are all kinds of different.
Zhang Yimou rubbed his chin while watching the voting. He was clean shaven without even a stubble.
"Let me say a few words. I also chose Peking Opera. Well, I also chose Kung Fu. These are not controversial, but they are too old and some modern elements should be added."
"Director Zhang, let me say a few words about this..."
Sun Tao turned around and looked, and this person's information flashed in his mind.
Nakang, a third-level researcher from the Ministry of Culture, is said to be an expert in cultural propaganda and has written many books. He is a big figure in the theory school. If you want to write a thesis and get a doctorate, I guess this guy can sit in the defense team.
"We have always talked about Chinese culture, but this is the Yanjing Olympics after all. I think it is better to add local characteristics appropriately. The cheongsam is modern..."
Sun Tao couldn't help but sneer, cheongsam, the teacher at the film school said that the improved cheongsam first appeared in Shanghai.
"The director is right. Let me tell you, there is no need to highlight local characteristics, but it seems not good to not mention it at all. The cheongsam is actually a pretty good choice. It is unique to China and has local characteristics. Don't dancers kill two birds with one stone when wearing it? ." Sun Tao glanced at Guan Peng again.
"I agree with letting actresses wear cheongsam..." Jin Dongliang.
That, pass, gold...
This is Yanjing, and Sun Tao seems to understand something. Sun Tao is not an emperor, but a Chinese nation. But seeing a certain department controlled by some people is a bit unhappy. There have been enough dramas about the Qing palace, and every emperor is wise. What do you want to do now that you are so powerful?
Just as he was thinking about it, someone from behind quietly poked him, "Director Sun, I heard that you and Na Ying are also friends?" "Well, yes, my sister took good care of me when I first entered the entertainment industry. I wrote a script. My sister helped me make a guest appearance when we were not very familiar with each other.”
"What's your name?"
""Charlotte Troubles""
"The box office is more than 27 million, right? Hahaha, well, it's okay if you don't accept old age. At that time, I called her Xiaoyingzi. Now everyone who calls her sister has meetings with me. Who can I reason with?"
The artistic director of the Propaganda Department of the Olympic Organizing Committee, surnamed Wang, suddenly started chatting with Sun Tao. He seemed to say nothing but got the point across.
……
Cheongsam, Kung Fu, Peking Opera, singing with a can, these were the four great inventions. Sun Tao did not want to pit them against each other. After all, they were all Chinese cultures, and one was subject to heavy restrictions and the other was an unlimited supply of resources.
But just like competitive sports, food is the original sin. If you lose, you win or you win. Isn’t the Olympic opening ceremony the same as the Yanjing Olympics? It embodies the characteristics of Yanjing. It also has opera, but there are many types of opera, not just Peking opera.
The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games did not focus on reflecting any Yanjing characteristics, but promoted Chinese culture, and the whole world was proud; the eight-minute closing ceremony was full of cheongsams, Peking operas, and floral cotton-padded jackets, and there was a lot of criticism in the country. From the live video, there were not many athletes in the venue. A serious reader, but the news report has to say that it has received rave reviews...
……
Sun Tao did not come out to oppose cheongsam, although he once told Zhang Yimou about Hanfu.
When traveling in the world, safety comes first,
Director Zhang seemed to look at Sun Tao and didn't say anything when he saw Sun Tao chatting with someone.
The cheongsam was already on Zhang Yimou's list, and no one had any strong objections, "Then let's just add the cheongsam to the dance. Hey, Director Sun, do you have any objections?"
"No!" Sun Tao answered quite simply, the situation was stronger than the others.
Before Zhang Yimou could ask further questions, Sun Tao continued: "The "Beautiful People" I was talking about was a bit long, more than 4 minutes. I thought about it carefully and thought it would be a bit overwhelming in an eight-minute performance."
Nakang, "Hey, Director Sun, you've also choreographed the dance. Let's take it out later and let everyone give us some advice."
Jin Dongliang "By the way, you can also let the Olympic babies rehearse. If the results are good, let them go directly to the CCTV Spring Festival Gala."
[Yes, yes, yes, once the girls are selected, they have to rehearse for half a year. It seems a bit unfair to them to get a certificate after half a year, and some of them may be eliminated in the middle. Letting them attend the Spring Festival Gala can be considered as a kind of compensation. 】
[How do you know that you will be able to attend the Spring Festival Gala... Oh, Director Sun, I am not questioning your ability...]
A few people said it casually, and it seemed casual, but when you opened the address book and looked at their workplaces, you knew they were not talking nonsense. This is strength.
Return favors!
Sun Tao immediately understood that if you follow their wishes, they can send your dance to the Spring Festival Gala.
First going to Athens and then the Spring Festival Gala, then the gold content of this Olympic treasure has been further increased, and it seems reasonable that the girls have been rehearsing hard for more than half a year and finally let them show off their faces on the Spring Festival Gala as a reward.
I don’t know if they are being witty or if Zhang Yimou has told someone his thoughts before...
"Director Zhang, if we wear cheongsam to sing Jasmine, can we dress more elegantly?" Sun Tao made a last effort to exclude the Northeastern floral cotton-padded jacket from the eight-minute performance.
Zhang Yimou shook his head firmly, "Intense colors can make people's eyes brighter, and red and yellow must be the main colors!"
Sun Tao didn't say much anymore. Good words can't persuade the damn ghost. Zhang Yimou should have this disaster in his life! (End of chapter)
