Chapter 448 The Bard
Mencius has a saying, "The only major affairs of the country are war and sacrifice." War and sacrifice seem to have nothing to do with each other, but they are related to the life and death of the country.

China has risen from the flames of war and has established itself as a country. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. If people are like this, so are countries.

People are superior and inferior, countries are strong and weak, strong countries are arrogant, and weak countries swallow their anger.

The voice of a powerful country spreads all over the world, and no one dares not to obey, no one dares not to listen, no one dares to resist.

The voice of a weak country, the world laughs back.

In the long dark night.

China is the posture of a weak country, even if it is stubborn and stubborn, it stands upright and never gives in.

Even if it is an eye for an eye, an eye for an eye, it shatters the iron and sharp weapons of wolves, tigers, and leopards.

in the eyes of the rest of the world.

Huaxia is still a backward, ignorant, bloody, primitive oriental tribe.

people there.

With long braids, sallow and emaciated, dark heart, the food is raw meat and water.

people there.

Like humble servants, they are used to kowtow, backward, uncivilized, and uncivilized oriental primitive tribes.

It sounds ridiculous.

2005 years.

This is the impression of Huaxia in the eyes of foreigners. According to the survey, young people in the United States have never even heard of the eastern country: Huaxia.

China.

We really need a stage to announce our existence to the world, and we need a stage to sweep away the centuries-old ills and tell the people of our country.

we.

Stand up!

The Olympics is such a stage, and this opportunity, Huaxia has been fighting for, waiting, and looking forward to it...

50 years!
Can be imagined.

A matter of national honor, a 50-year plan, such an important occasion.

The chief director of the opening ceremony, the expectations and pressures he bears.

2001 years.

Huaxia formally established the "Olympic Working Group", referred to as "Olympic Organizing Committee."

The Olympic Organizing Committee was led by the Yanjing Municipal Government, with participation from scholars, farmers, businessmen, and all walks of life.

It has 22 departments under its jurisdiction, and at most, there were 30 departments with more than 1300 people.

The huge organization represents the country's prudence for the Olympic Games.

about.

The director of the opening ceremony, the initial plan of the Olympic Games, the designated director, the list of selected directors, there are 6 people, among them, the most promising candidate: Zhang Yimou.

Zhang Yimou refused.

The Olympic Organizing Committee had no choice but to openly solicit ideas for the opening ceremony from all over the world, and select directors. There were more than 3000 teams in the audition, and they passed the primary selection.

12 teams were shortlisted.

among them.

Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, Chen Kaige, Li An, Jiang Wen, Han Qiao, Zhang Jigang, representative of the Army Song and Dance Troupe, Chen Weiya, representative of the National Song and Dance Troupe...

Li An is of Chinese descent.

His ancestral home is Baodao, under his yellow skin, he has a pure white heart. Zhang Yimou commented on him: "Li Yin is the only one in the entire Chinese-language film circle who can naturally wander between Eastern and Western cultures."

The experience can be called the cultural ceiling of entertainment directors.

Among the top three in Europe, Li Yin won the Golden Lion and Golden Bear, but missed the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.

The reason why Chen Kaige is awesome is largely because he is the only Chinese director who has won the Palme d'Or.

Oscar statuette.

Li pressed the gods several times, and he directed the Marvel movie "The Incredible Hulk".

in this way.

A person full of honors, who would have thought that when he was young, he would be a softie?
Haven't worked for several years.

Relying entirely on his wife for support, Han Qiao is very polite, there is no other way, they are all soft food, heroes cherish each other, bow slightly, and politely say: "Director Li, I have admired your name for a long time!"

"Hello."

Li Yin was very easy-going, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes. He held Han Qiao's hand and said with a smile, "Director Han is polite. He is a young hero. Director Han has achieved so much at such a young age. Li admires him."

"I want to tell you."

"You two are hypocritical." When Jiang Wen spoke, the gangster was very angry: "They are all brothers, Han Qiao, my good third brother, Li Ge, my good big brother!"

"It's over in a while, go to my house, and don't return if you don't get drunk."

Three people talk.

Han Qiao was still very curious about Li An. It wasn't a movie, he was just a layman. He wanted to ask two questions. One question was: "Can Lust, Caution, come to me!"

Another question is: "Lust, Caution is looking for me, can Tang Wei and I do a fake show?"

vulgar.

Too vulgar.

Li Yin still had a good impression of Han Qiao. He hadn't watched Han Qiao's movie. The young man spoke humorously. After a few words, Han Qiao said, "Brother, what do you think about this Olympics?"

"I have ideas." Li pressed a signal behind him, followed by several people, including whites, blacks, and Chinese, and said with a smile, "This time, I brought Oscar, the most experienced, creative, and technologically advanced team." , I am going to start with technology."

"Big brother."

"Good idea." Han Qiao joked in his heart, "I'm afraid Li Yong is used to the United States. The American way of thinking is not appropriate to hold a grand meeting for Chinese people."

"Han Qiao, what about you?" Jiang Wen asked, "You have as many ghost ideas as you, what are you going to do this time?"

"I'm going to start with traditional culture." Han Qiao said with emotion: "In the world, China is the only country with a long history and an unbroken history. For 5000 years, this country has suffered too much suffering, too many setbacks, and There have been brilliance, there have been loneliness, I am going to show the 5000-year style of China starting from the macro history, mighty and mighty."

his train of thought.

To put it bluntly, it was Zhang Yimou's idea, but Zhang Yimou was a lunatic.

The ideas are all kinds of strange.

At two o'clock in the middle of the night, when I thought of an idea, I called my colleagues excitedly, and my saliva flew all over the place.

the next day.

The colleague had dark circles under his eyes and a tired face, and asked him: "Old Zhang, the idea you said in the middle of the night last night was very good, what are you going to do?"

Zhang Yimou was full of energy: "Yesterday's idea, that one won't work, I have a new idea, I'm going to..."

Dancing.

colleague:"???"

and so.

Han Qiao's idea was Zhang Yimou's idea, but it was not Zhang Yimou's current idea.

He's not ashamed at all.

Jie Tiandi Han Qiao, from the long river of time and space in the future, intercepted Hu Zhang Yimou.

Lao Mouzi's idea is very good, now it is mine, and he is not afraid of plagiarism by Jiang Wen and Li Press.

idea.

Unlike my wife, my wife is not my own, the more excited I am, the more boring my ideas are.

He talked eloquently.

Li Yin and Jiang Wen looked at each other, and both could see the surprise in each other's eyes.

At such a young age, Han Qiao is not bad to be selected as the director of the Olympic Games.

Glory to defeat.

No one expected him to have any good ideas. After all, the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games was too heavy and serious.

Such an event.

Without the accumulation of years, it is difficult to control. Unexpectedly, Han Qiao really has an idea.

Most importantly, it's not bad.

"Bullshit."

"Young people should not be too ambitious, keep their feet on the ground, have not read many books, and know little about traditional culture."

The voice of the speaker, the sarcasm inside and outside the words, is beyond words.

Jiang Wen's face was surprised. After all, Han Qiao is the great director, who would be so disrespectful.

Turn your head.

Laughing dumbfounded, no surprise: "Director Chen."

Chen Kaige, in a suit and leather shoes, followed the staff behind him, wearing black sunglasses, confident and calm, nodded: "Director Jiang."

Looking across Han Qiao, staring at Li Ya, Chen Kai's serious face softened a little: "Director Li, hello."

"Director Chen."

Several domestic directors, even though they have never met each other, have a reputation like thunder.

After greetings.

Brother Chen Kai stared at Han Qiao with a serious face. He and Han Qiao were torn apart.

targeted several times.

In his heart, Han Qiao is grandstanding and winning the crown of the monkey. This time, he is selected as the director of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.

Han Qiao used connections to squeeze out other teams that should have been shortlisted, but his purpose was to "gild" himself.

With a serious face, he said a lesson: "Han Qiao, a person must have real talents and learning, otherwise, even if he has the current honor, sooner or later, he will be exposed."

"Director Chen is right."

Han Qiao's expression didn't change. Chen Kai had been targeting him for a long time.

Grasshoppers after autumn.

After a few days of jumping around, in June, Brother Chen Kai fell to the altar.

When.

It's up to me, Han Qiao looked at Brother Chen Kai as if he was looking at a dead person, and asked with a polite smile, "Director Chen, what you said is that a person must have real talents and learning, otherwise, even if he has the current achievements, sooner or later he will be exposed." .”

Tit for tat.

Brother Chen Kai's expression turned ugly.

Han Qiao shrugged: "I just came here to study, Director Chen's plan must be shocking!"

What more.

Shocking.

simply.

Breaking new ground, making people frightened, convinced the entire Olympic working group.

Let's say that.

Brother Chen Kai, he sang a poem!

That's right.

His proposal for the Olympic opening ceremony is, a poem!

"At that time." Brother Chen Kai's face was ugly, thinking of his own plan, he was quite complacent: "You will know when the time comes."

He didn't want to waste time with Han Qiao.

Looking past Han Qiao, he nodded and saluted: "Director Jiang, Director Li, see you later."

"See you soon."

Jiang Wen and Li Press looked at each other, they were both old foxes, no one knew who the other was.

Brother Chen Kai and Han Qiao were torn apart.

It was very strange that he was about to start working. Li Yong felt emotionally: "Han Qiao is still too young. Brother Chen Kai's plan must have something unique."

After all, Brother Chen Kai is a long-established director. Han Qiao's behavior, in his eyes, is humiliating himself.

too young.

Jiang Wen, worried about his brother, lowered his voice: "Old Han, something went wrong with Zhang Yimou this time. Brother Chen Kai has the highest expectations for the selection for the Olympic opening ceremony."

"This time, everyone said that you rely on nepotism and have opinions on you!"

"It's nothing." Han Qiao shrugged, with a sad expression on his face, "I have nothing to do with the honor and disgrace of the world."

"???" Jiang Wen couldn't help it, stroking his beard, Han Qiao was putting on too much.

Several people walked into the building side by side.

On the road.

Han Qiao was thinking about the matter of Lao Mouzi.

Zhang Yimou's "Black 8 Minutes".

For the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, an 8-minute stage will be reserved for the city that will host the next Olympic Games.

2004 years.

For the Athens Olympics, Zhang Yimou directed the show, and to be honest, it was pretty ugly.

A few young girls with graceful figures, wearing cheongsams with slits at the base of their thighs, played and sang, beat gongs and drums.

to say.

China's traditional culture is like this, yes, but the cheongsam is the same as the Northeast Errenzhuan, colorful and the makeup of a little girl.

It's like knocking over the palette.

8 minutes.

Playing and singing again, beating gongs and drums, Tai Chi, and double-flower acrobatics.

It's all out of order.

Look, only white thighs are left, kitsch!

The negative reviews are overwhelming.

even.

Someone reprimanded Zhang Yimou for tarnishing Chinese culture and slandering the impression of China.

Ancient.

Lao Mouzi's head probably won't be able to be kept. In modern times, beheading is unlikely.

but.

Lao Mouzi is running for the chief director of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, whether it is a working group or a non-governmental organization.

Opposition voices are loud.

Among several directors, the only one who is competitive is brother Chen Kai!

The Olympic Working Group has been established for a long time, and it is the first primary selection to select the chief director of the opening ceremony.

Staff, lead to the conference room.

Han Qiao's eyes swept across.

The meeting room is full of people, and there is a display stage in the center.

intermediate.

The aisle splits, bisects, and the director's working group occupies the left.

OCOG, occupying the right.

Han Qiao came alone, and the other directors had a team.

More than a dozen people, few people, a lot of materials and drawings.

Han Qiao is very honest.

In the area of ​​the Olympic Organizing Committee, there are quite a few real bigwigs, officials of the frontier, and city lords of the capital.

Six servants.

Like a small shrimp, he bowed slightly and gestured politely.

The front row of the crowd.

A few dignified figures in simple Chinese tunic suits, looking at the documents.

Greetings from Han Qiao.

The middle-aged man in the middle smiled and nodded.

Han Qiao was stunned for a moment, then continued to smile and nodded, and left calmly.

he's gone.

A few big shots caught their eyes and looked at the information: "Li Shi, he is Han Qiao, the grandson-in-law of Mr. Xia."

"That's right." Li Shi smiled: "That girl from the Xia family has a perverse temper. Old Xia's headache hurts badly. I didn't expect that this girl will grow up and catch a son-in-law by herself."

"Hahaha."

"Old Xia is blessed, this young man looks good."

"Resume is also good."

"Among so many people, he is the youngest."

"Well." Li Shi smiled and said, "It doesn't matter who you are, after all, it's the Olympic selection, and it still depends on the plan."

understood.

The few important figures knew it well: "Lao Xia is holding his son-in-law in the palm of his hand, and giving him face, but face, that's the end of it."

A few big names.

I didn't take it to heart, Han Qiao was too young and had no experience in large-scale stages.

Several works.

The box office is good, but there are no awards. Simply put, artistic achievements have not been recognized.

Several people said: "It seems that Zhang Yimou is not ready to go, Brother Chen Kai can pay attention."

"Brother Chen Kai's plan is worth looking forward to."

"Let's take a look, Li An is here too. If his plan is good, it's okay to choose him."

other.

The others are accompanying, Feng Xiaogang, Han Qiao, Zhang Jizhong, Chen Weiya...

Can't hold back the scene.

Hanqiao is easy.

He wasn't nervous at all, and it was different from what the outside world thought. From the beginning to the end, he never thought about being chosen as the chief director of the Olympic opening ceremony.

He thought very simply.

The Olympics, the 2022 and 2008 Olympics are widely talked about by the people.

This Olympics.

Worldwide, more than 200 countries, watch at the same time, and viewership ratings at the same time.

Breaking 5, this score, the highest ratings that a domestic TV station has never broken through.

After the Olympics.

China's JDP is advancing by leaps and bounds, and its international momentum is increasing day by day.

Eastern power, Asian lion!
this is.

The true pinnacle of honor, bringing glory to the country, he just happened to participate in history.

play their part.

Even.

Not for fame or profit, Han Qiao will choose without hesitation and devote himself to it!
and so.

His goal is: "Associate director!"

Don't think that the assistant director is very simple, the Olympic opening ceremony working group, 15000 people participated.

the whole working group.

1 chief director, 2 assistant directors, chief director Zhang Yimou, deputy director Zhang Jizhong, Chen Weiya...

They are all famous!

It's not that simple for Han Qiao to join them, however.

Han Qiao shrugged, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "It may be difficult for others, but it's different for me. I just copied it!"

Hang up!
It's just so unreasonable, Zhang Yimou has a lot of ideas, sorry, you don't have to think about it, Lao Mouzi.

I this idea.

You can't say no!
Han Qiao pondered.

In the conference room, the selection officially started. Unfortunately, Zhang Yimou did not participate in the first selection.

He has a shadow in his heart and is under a lot of pressure. He is determined to withdraw from the selection of the director of the Olympic opening ceremony.

Han Qiao was speechless.

The shooter's spring water is bad, he is a support, and he is anxious to have a fart.

"Directors, leaders, good afternoon, everyone."

On the stage.

The host is seconded by CCTV and belongs to the "News and Propaganda Department". This time, the selection of the chief director of the Olympic opening ceremony is open and transparent.

not only.

The Olympic Organizing Committee will participate in the evaluation, and the civil society and the News and Propaganda Department will also solicit opinions.

soon.

The general director of the opening ceremony, the selection ceremony officially started.

in fact.

It's very simple, that is, candidates go up, explain their plans, and select for the first time.

The requirements are very low.

Mainly to explain his own thinking, Jiang Wen was the first to play.

Jiang Wen's plan is very rough, and ordinary people really can't understand it, but he said it clearly: "Leaders, my plan is like this. At the beginning, I will lead the team and sing about the motherland..."

When Jiang heard what he said, his saliva flew all over the place.

Han Qiao almost couldn't hold back his laughter, God sees pity, Jiang Wen is so awesome.

Olympic Opening Ceremony!
He is going to hold a grand solo show. At the beginning, he leads people to sing about the motherland, which is a song.

Next.

He will lead the bicycle team and ride through Tiananmen Square. At this time, the flags of all countries in the world will come down.

before the sun rises.

Jiang Wen raised the five-star red flag on behalf of the motherland.

You are a bitch!

What a genius, Jiang Wen has a strong personal style, but, so strong, Han Qiao gave a thumbs up: "Brother Jiang, you are really awesome."

It is a pity.

What Jiang Wen said was high-spirited and full of emotion, and the Olympic Committee rejected it: "It's too absurd and unrealistic."

Jiang Wen was defeated.

When he got back to his seat, he looked regretful and muttered, "Damn it, Han Qiao, I must make a movie in the future. I've already thought of the name, and it's called the Olympics in the prisoner-of-war camp."

Next.

When Li Press came on stage, Li Press was Li Press, with an extraordinary temperament, and he was followed by a lady with a graceful posture and an elegant temperament.

Han Qiao lowered his voice: "Old Jiang, who is this bitch?"

"Woman." Jiang Wen looked over and poohed: "What girl, she is a lady, her name is Lin Ying, a Chinese-American architect, you don't know her, her aunt is amazing."

"Ms. Lin Huiyin, a famous talented woman in the Republic of China and architectural designer."

"Leaders, before we start, please allow me to quote a sentence from Hu Shi."

Li Yong was elegant, bowed his head slightly, and said in a soft voice: "Study should be like a pyramid. It must be broad and refined. We are also willing to produce our program with Hu Shi's academic spirit."

"I think."

"Our opening ceremony must satisfy the world's yearning for classical China, combine Chinese classical culture, and showcase China's 5000-year history."

"In terms of specific implementation."

Li Yong said: "I plan to install huge big screens on all sides of the venue, through vocal music, special effects, pictures, all aspects, to show..."

Lee is well prepared.

His information is the most, and the Olympic team will nod frequently, but as the statement increases.

The Olympic Committee looked solemn.

Li Press's plan is very good, especially the traditional Chinese cultural elements, which are very well combined.

but.

His American aesthetics, the way is wrong, China's Olympic opening ceremony, not the United States, the Western Olympic opening ceremony.

finally.

According to Li's plan, it could not be passed. The opinion of the Olympic Organizing Committee is: "The combination of Chinese traditional cultural elements is very good, but the overall plan is too illusory."

Li Press looked disappointed, his trump card, Lin Ying, did not impress the Olympic Committee.

twice in a row.

The director failed in the judging, especially, the second time, Li Press still had high hopes.

director area.

Everyone's face was heavy, and they were not lucky because others were defeated.

Li Press was defeated.

Even his plan can't start the Olympic Games. Can his own plan really work?
Olympic Games.

At this time.

I'm also a little irritated. Li Yin is the focus of their investigation, and Li Yin's plan is indeed unique.

pity.

Li's plan was too illusory. At this time, the host announced: "Director Chen Kai, please prepare to speak."

Brother Chen Kai.

The Olympic team raised its head and looked expectantly. Brother Chen Kai was another key object of investigation.

His plan, the Olympic Committee believes, will not be disappointed.

director area.

Li applauded: "Director Chen, it's time to see you."

He was heartily blessed, opening, brainstorming, and he was defeated.

but.

If Brother Chen Kai has a good plan, it may not be, and he will not broaden his mind.

Li Yong was looking forward to it, and felt like he was fighting on the top of the Forbidden City on Mount Huashan.

"Director Chen, I'm looking at you."

"Director Chen, come on."

"Director Chen's plan must be very good."

director area.

With all the praise, Chen Kaige has an outstanding status in the world, if he has good results.

other people.

Inspired, lost twice, and frustrated self-confidence, will recover a lot.

"Thank you everyone." Chen Kai walked up to Han Qiao with a serious face and said, "Han Qiao, please step aside."

Han Qiao smiled, and moved his legs away: "Director Chen, please, I am looking forward to your plan."

Brother Chen Kai snorted coldly.

on stage.

Like Han Qiao, he was unarmed, without any information to show, his eyes were full of emotions, and his voice was choked up: "Leaders, when I learned that Yanjing was confirmed as the host city for the Olympic Games, I felt extremely emotional in my heart, and immediately thought of Du Fu's words. poem."

"I heard that the army took over Henan and Hebei."

His eyes were reddish, and he was full of affection: "The sword was suddenly passed to the north of Jibei, and tears were all over the clothes when I heard it for the first time."

Step forward.

He straightened his chest, clenched his fists, and said in a sonorous and forceful voice: "But seeing what my wife is worried about, I am ecstatic with the volume of poems and books."

The arms were straightened and raised, and the voice was full of emotion: "I'm crazy about joy!"

Brother Chen Kai's voice was sonorous and powerful.

Deafening.

meeting room.

For a moment, there was no sound, everyone's eyes widened, and there was a long silence.

Han Qiao stood up and took the lead in applauding: "Okay, Director Chen is worthy of being a bard, it's so soul-stirring that anyone who hears it will cry!"

meeting room.

Han Qiao's lonely applause, he looked left and right, others looked at him, touched his nose, and sat down awkwardly: "I really think Director Chen is very good."

Olympic Games.

The complexion was hard to tell, and for a moment, Li Shi asked helplessly: "Director Chen, what we want is a specific creative plan, not a poet."

Brother Chen Kai looked disappointed.

He really thinks that he is great, but unfortunately, no one understands. Maybe, ten years later, they will understand my original intention!
director area.

Brother Chen Kai took his seat, and the other directors had subtle expressions, opening and closing their mouths as they wanted to say something.

Can't say a word.

"Next, please director Han Qiao get ready."
