Chapter 140 Zhang Yimou’s recognition, the ignorant Nazha
“Director Guan, I heard that you have recorded the first sentence well these days.”
The scene of the national dance of "Harmonious China" , Guan Ling met Zhang Yimou, who was showing signs of fatigue. Lao Mouzi had been really stressed recently.
The hairline has moved back and there are dark circles above the eyes.
After each Olympic Games, there will be a cultural display of the venue where the next Olympic Games will be held.
In 2004, the Chinese program show after the Athens Olympics was directed by Zhang Yimou.
Although Zhang Yimou attracted praise from many foreigners in the eight minutes after the Athens Olympics, those art forms such as martial arts and acrobatics were poorly performed in China.
So there was a lot of abuse against Zhang Yimou in China at that time.
So when Zhang Yimou applied, netizens still didn’t buy it.
But among the directors who applied at that time, Ang Lee’s creativity was not good enough, and he was temporarily determined to be an assistant. Brother Chen Kai was very confident in a black suit, wearing sunglasses and scolding Fang Qiu. To express my surging mood, I just burst into tears when I first heard the song. The organizing committee was so big that one person and two people eliminated it on the spot. They said I wanted a director instead of a poet.
When the leaders met, they had no choice but to ask Zhang Yimou to come.
Guan Ling did not have this right at that time.
In this matter where the leader called the name and the people were enthusiastic, Zhang Yimou bit the bullet and accepted it. If you are scolded, be scolded.
He knew that as China's biggest international event in the new century and even since China's accession to the WTO, the Chinese people were holding their breath.
And Zhang Yimou is the one who can best handle things under this heavy pressure.
From the time he was creatively selected to the present, Zhang Yimou has never had the time to direct his own movies except for one "Golden Armor". I have been busy preparing for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.
Guan Ling had heard vaguely that Zhang Yimou couldn't even sleep.
"Yes, Liu Huan and the others are very good at guiding me. If it weren't for them, I would definitely be embarrassed." Guan Ling went to record the first line a few days ago, but it was out of tune several times. It took a whole day to control Guan Ling. The scenes were filmed well, and several scenes were specially preserved in different scenes.
“Fortunately, you accepted the call. The Olympic Organizing Committee told me that they themselves asked Cheng Long, but Cheng Long refused to sing the first line. If you hadn’t accepted the call, I would have probably chosen Athens. The little girl at the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games." Zhang Yimou held Guan Ling's hand and said, "I just gave you a call and I have to thank you."
Guan Ling was in a daze and suddenly remembered. Indeed, there was a little girl before the first sentence, the one who said "Welcome to Beijing" to everyone after the Athens Olympics.
He is stealing the little girl's chance to show her face, Guan Ling thought to himself. I have to talk to Liu Huan and the others later to see if this little girl can also be the finalist of this song. No one among the celebrities would say anything about holding a child for the finale.
"Director Zhang, you are also a senior brother after all, so let's not be polite. You said you are a little confused, let's talk?"
Guan Ling is indeed confused about what Zhang Yimou wants to say. .
“Yes, let’s talk about this party first. I came here this time. First, the leaders above take this matter very seriously, so I have to come and stand up for a while. The costume party directed by the chief director Ding Wei this time, The Olympics will also be a showcase for the national costumes of all major ethnic groups. Secondly, I have a question and I want to ask your opinion. After all, I am really busy right now and I really don’t have time. I can’t see you, so I’ll forgive you if it’s Director Guan.”
Zhang Yimou spoke very politely, and Guan Ling nodded frequently.
“Let me tell you, for the Olympic Games, we are going to build a single full-color large screen with tens of thousands of LEDs as the centerpiece of the venue, so that the opening ceremony will be visually appealing.
< br>To this end, I have customized many display devices with Leyard Company, and have tried them now, and the results are very good.
But now we have encountered a problem, that is, it is difficult to install these tens of thousands of lamps. It is guaranteed that there will be no problems, and it is also waterproof. There are a series of issues that need to be considered when repairing the lights.
I am very determined, but the superiors also put some pressure on me and said that this is risky. Try another way.
I'm here to ask you, do you think that in the opening ceremony, should I follow other people's advice and make a pretty good opening ceremony while seeking stability, or should I rather take risks? , where is the entire giant picture that amazes the world? If Guan was guiding you, how would you choose? ”
Guan Ling did not expect that Zhang Yimou would ask himself this question.
Zhang Yimou was really anxious. In his previous life, he was the most famous director. No one could do it except himself. What reference can you give him? But now, Guan Ling is different. After all, he has become a world-famous director by relying on visual effects. Zhang Yimou does not feel that he is inferior to Guan Ling, but he needs to recognize him now. He also knows very well where the risks lie.
Indeed, he is very ambitious and very daring to take risks. What Zhang Yimou wants to do at the opening ceremony is something that no one has seen before.
The idea of scroll painting will inevitably lead to discussions about whether large-scale LEDs should be used on the ground.
No one in the world has ever tried it before. This technology is very risky, such as trampling, rain, etc. There are many reasons that may lead to the black screen of the LED.
Once a black screen occurs during the opening ceremony, there is no way to explain it to the people across the country.
Guan Ling was stunned for a moment, and he recalled the opening of the Olympic Games in his previous life.
In addition to the slowly unfolding ink painting, there are also the five Olympic rings, which are another gift from Zhang Yimou to the 2008 Olympic Games. The dazzling Olympic rings are magically suspended in front of more than 100,000 spectators. , the whole world held its breath at that moment
This dreamy five-ring is made of 2,000 blue and 44,794 white LED lights, a total of 46,794 LED lights, woven on a huge steel wire mesh through a special process.
The large-scale application of LED display technology in the 2008 Olympic Games was a risk, but the effect was extremely successful. To some extent, it indirectly promotes the application and development of LED display technology. Since then, LED large screens have become an important part of major national events and artistic performances.
So for China, or for Zhang Yimou, this opening ceremony is one ahead of the times.
This is unprecedented and unprecedented.
Compared to the BJ Olympics, the opening ceremonies of the following Olympic Games are not even the slightest bit worse. There are even shadow soldiers passing through the Tokyo Olympics, which is simply...
"Guan Dao? "
Seeing Guan Ling lost in thought, Zhang Yimou asked.
"Director Zhang, I think your idea is right. The BJ Olympics is a grand event for China. We cannot use stability as a magic weapon. We need to let the world see it, see the difference in China, and see The strongest side of China is to shock them with its style and culture, and all of this requires a scene that they can remember. So Director Zhang, I support your side.”
In fact, when Guan Ling thought about it, his heart surged.
Originally, I didn’t have such a deep feeling about the Olympic Games. After all, I had experienced it twice, but the look in Zhang Yimou’s eyes really made Guan Ling realize the significance of this event to the people in the country.
"So Director Zhang, try your best to do it. If there are any problems with the budget, Lingyun Media can help. You can also bring this to the Olympic Organizing Committee."
"Okay."
Zhang Yimou held Guan Ling's hand and calmed down, saying nothing.
"Director Guan, the same goes for you." Before leaving, Zhang Yimou said to Guan Ling,
"I, Zhang Yimou, have never convinced anyone in the film industry,
Usually, others regard me as an imaginary enemy. For example, Photographer Chen, who became a great director because of his father’s affairs, has always been eyeing my position. We seem to be secretly competing, but I have never given it to him. He has been regarded as a rival.
But when I watched the movie "2012", I didn't expect it to be made by Chinese people.
But it doesn't matter. It came after "2012". "Making Chinese movies," Zhang Yimou said with a thumbs up, "Director Guan, you are like this. No matter whether your "Detective Detective" can be a global hit, I understand your intention because of your current status. , there is a chance to make any movie in Hollywood, so this is more valuable."
"Director Guan, I admire you."
Guan Ling didn't expect that he would say a few words. In short, Zhang Yimou was heartbroken. I really wouldn't have said this unless I was heartbroken. After all, Photographer Chen is just pointing his nose at him and looking down on him.
Guan Ling also admired Zhang Yimou.
After all, he is the number one film director in Mainland China. Apart from having a producer who has a higher eye than his own, there really isn’t much wrong with him in terms of his character. The extra childbirth expenses are also paid at the drop of a hat.
"It would be better if I didn't film "Man Jiang Hong"." Guan Ling said to himself, people, what they are most afraid of is not being able to guarantee their safety at the end of the year.
...Zhang Yimou and Guan Ling watched the party for about half an hour. They went to chat with Ding Wei for a few words, and Zhang Yimou left first.
The assistants brought along with Ding Wei will keep an eye on these ethnic actors, and the best ones will be selected to participate in the Olympic opening ceremony.
After all, Zhang Yimou probably estimated that the number of people needed for the opening ceremony would be at least 10,000. Although many people have been rehearsing for a long time, after all, people need to be on top, even as backup.
The display of ethnic costumes was actually fun at the beginning, but Guan Ling became confused later on. Especially at the party, many ethnic dance types had restrictions, and it quickly became boring.
Guan Ling was also about to say goodbye and leave, but suddenly he looked back and saw a familiar figure.
It seems to be Nazha?
Nazha is wearing a red national costume, has big earrings, and her thin face is very recognizable.
Guan Ling thought for a moment that he had seen it wrong, but after taking a closer look, there was no doubt that this person was Nazha.
Actually, Guan Ling doesn’t know much about it. Last year, Nazha participated in the selection of the National Flower of the “XJ Snow Lotus Cup”, passed all the tests, and finally became the “Uyghur Flower” of that year. It is precisely because of this award that she was selected as the vanguard of the Uyghur national costume display this year.
After seeing Nazha, Guan Ling didn’t want to leave for the time being.
This little girl, please sign up for Ling Yun. After all, in the next ten years, beauties will be a weapon to attract money.
And it’s impossible for Guan Ling to have no idea about Nazha, it’s beautiful. Guan Ling has no resistance to good-looking things.
"You must seize this opportunity." Guan Ling said in her heart, "I feel like she has never had a boyfriend now, she looks so small."
Seeing Nazha , Guan Ling can think of two of her relationships, one with a video, and the other with Triangle Rashomon.
This one is similar to Jingtian, they are both purebred idiots in the entertainment industry.
I remember I learned about it in my previous life. This girl also posted her own artistic photos on Mekong.com? What is that? Others don't know, Guan Ling doesn't know yet. There are many female celebrities who have gained some fame here. Once they become famous, they immediately want to completely delete this part of their past.
For example, Ma Nuo, Zhang Xinyu, Tang Yixin, and even Xiao Zhao in Shanshan is Coming are all from Misong.
But Nazha is the silly one anyway, and now Guan Ling can just save her.
Furthermore, for Guan Ling, what’s the point of living a new life as a Han Chinese? Wouldn’t it be nice to learn another foreign language?
Thinking of this, Guan Ling stopped trying to leave and looked at it again.
"No wonder the Protectorate of the Western Regions was built in ancient times." Guan Ling's heart moved when he saw the beautiful Nazha on the stage. I immediately understood what the ancients thought. How could such a piece of land not be nationalized?
This is really a typical XJ beauty, with outstanding temperament that is difficult to conceal.
In the middle, the display on the stage ended. Guan Ling arrived backstage and walked straight in the direction of Nazha.
"Director Guan. Is it Director Guan?"
Suddenly, there was a burst of excited exclamations in the background.
"What's wrong?" Ding Wei heard the sound and quickly asked the assistant director next to him.
"Director Guan seemed to have entered just now. Someone among these people must know Director Guan." The assistant director didn't know what was going on.
“Let’s go and have a look together.” Ding Wei followed the assistant director in.
Guan Ling’s goal is very clear, which is Nazha, so he doesn’t care about the pull of the people around him. For him, it is more important to finalize it quickly. After all, Guan Ling doesn’t want to wait here for a long time. It's time.
The main reason is that this is someone else’s party, and Guan Ling cannot be interrupted by others.
Striding over, Nazha looked back stupidly, and then saw Guan Ling walking towards her. She was stunned for a moment and pointed at herself, "Hello, are you looking for me?"< br>
"Yes, are you interested in joining my company?" Guan Ling said.
Nezha looked at Guan Ling in astonishment, her ignorant eyes full of clear stupidity, "I'm still in school."
People around me who knew Guan Ling were dumbfounded .
This girl doesn’t even know Guan Ling.
"Nazha, this is Director Guan. Didn't you see him standing with Director Zhang Yimou just now?" The people next to him quickly pulled Nazha's clothes away.
Nazha panicked. She really didn't know what Guan Ling looked like, but when the people next to her mentioned Director Zhang Yimou and Director Guan, she suddenly came to her senses. Guan Ling should be the only director who can stand side by side with Zhang Yimou.
"Hello, Director Guan, my name is Gulinazar. Baihetiyar. I, I am willing to join your company."
"It seems that my popularity It's enough, but my face still doesn't keep up."
Guan Ling smiled self-deprecatingly and handed a business card to Nazha, "This is my contact information, wait for you when you are free. Please call me.”
After finishing speaking, Guan Ling turned and left, saying hello to Ding Wei who came to watch the excitement on the way.
He left, but the backstage exploded.
"Nazha, you posted it. This is the biggest director in the country now. He actually contacted you."
"This girl is extremely lucky." She was still a little jealous.
"This is to promote you to be an actor. You just told Director Guan that you were in school." Some people were speechless for a while.
But in an instant, Guan Ling took the initiative to leave contact information for a girl, and this matter instantly spread throughout the background.
Nazha was already confused. After all, she was only sixteen years old and had no such experience at all.
Amidst the compliments from everyone, she didn’t know what to do at all.
Ding Wei came over and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Director Ding, Director Guan just came over and gave me a business card and asked me to contact him then." Nazha Tell the truth.
Ding Wei was a little surprised when he heard it, thinking no wonder these people on the court were so tasty.
But Director Guan has a really good eye. He actually took the initiative to talk to a newcomer, and for this choice, he chose the most beautiful one from the Uyghur ethnic group this time.
"Hurry up and get in touch when the party is over," said Ding Wei. "Seize this opportunity, and you will be among the top female stars."
Nazha was stunned, and her voice was heavy. nodded.
……
Eleven o’clock in the evening.
Guan Ling received the call.
"Hello, Director Guan, I am Nazha. Where are you and can we meet?"
"Come to Houhai, the address is XXX."
Guan Ling hesitated and reported the address of the courtyard.
