531 Failure to take the first place is failure

On the morning of April 17, the main creators of the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games gathered at the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee. Their task today is to look at the plans of the other twelve teams, absorb the essence of other team plans, and prepare for the real creative plan of the opening ceremony.

Zhang Ran saw it very quickly, just roughly flipped through it. When he encountered particularly outstanding creativity, he stopped to check it carefully. After reading the twelve plans, Zhang Ran discovered that the Great Wall, Terracotta Warriors, Peking Opera, martial arts, Silk Road, Zheng He's voyage to the West and other well-known Chinese elements appear in each plan. The only difference is the form of expression.

Among all the plans, the plan of the master fireworks master Cai Guoqiang is undoubtedly the most unique. All his designs are fireworks, and he uses the fireworks technology he is best at. The biggest highlight of the entire plan is the creativity of "footprints in the sky", which is actually the prototype of the big footprint. However, compared with the later big footprints, the footprint is much smaller. The designed line is 15 kilometers from Tian1 An 1 gate to the bird's nest, and a big footprint is made every 150 meters.

Among the many teams, nearly half of the teams plan to use LEDs. Among them, the five teams entering the second round, except for Chen Weiya's team, the other four plan to lay LEDs on the ground. Zhang Ran, Zhang Yimou, and Ang Lee all plan to lay LEDs on the ground. They are film directors, and the LEDs on the rectangular are simply a huge movie screen. The PLA team led by Zhang Jigang is quite unique in concept, and a white jade plate with a diameter of 80 meters is arranged in the center of the venue. This white jade plate is both an LED screen and a performance platform. With the lifting and lowering of the white jade plate, the stage continues to change to match different scenes. Later, the creativity of this white jade plate was used at the opening ceremony of the Paralympic Games. In addition, the PLA team also planned to use fog curtain technology, and their entire plan used a lot of high technology.

Zhang Ran has only seen two works by Zhang Jigang, one is the "Thousand-Armed Guanyin" of the Spring Festival Gala, and the other is the large-scale evening party broadcast by CCTV to commemorate the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. I thought he was the kind of director who was very honest and his plan should be relatively old-fashioned, but I didn't expect that he would have done this level of application of new technologies.

Zhang Ran realized that he underestimated the heroes of the world. Zhang Jigang is indeed a very skilled person. Thinking about it carefully, I remember that Zhang Jigang was responsible for the first half at the opening ceremony of the Peking Olympics, and Chen Weiya was responsible for the second half at the time, which is obviously weaker, which is very telling.

However, the People's Liberation Army team led by Zhang Jigang is still not as good as the Zhang Yimou's team. The plan of Zhang Yimou's team is the same as that of Zhang Ran, that is, all the links are complete, starting from the naming of the venue until the torch is extinguished at the end, considering it as a whole, and there is an obvious main line. Unlike the plans of other teams, one program is a program, which seems to be relatively scattered.

The reason why the scores of Zhang Ran and Zhang Yimou teams are ranked in the top two is that integrity plays a crucial role.

While Zhang Ran was looking at the plan, the rest of the director team were also looking at the plan.

The first thing Zhang Yimou saw was Zhang Ran's plan. Although he and Zhang Ran were both directors, he was able to get the position of director because Zhang Ran was too young. Zhang Yimou had been in the film for 20 years and has always been a famous figure. He never expected that the plan he had created with many elites would lose to Zhang Ran in total score. He felt a little dissatisfied. He just wanted to see if Zhang Ran's plan was really that good.

Of course, Zhang Yimou did not doubt Zhang Ran's level. He had seen the plans exposed by Zhang Ran's team, and the level was excellent. But he felt it was impossible for Zhang Ran to come up with the same level of plans within three days.

However, when Zhang Yimou finished reading Zhang Ran's plan, he was still deeply shocked. Zhang Ran and the others really came up with a new plan, and this plan is not weaker than the exposed plan. What makes people feel even more incredible is that the style of the entire plan is completely different. It can be imagined that during the entire conception process, Zhang Ran and the others must have reserved a lot of creativity, otherwise they would not have come up with such a high-level plan in a short period of time.

Zhang Yimou turned his head and looked at it. Seeing Zhang Ran sitting on the sofa, he lowered his head to ponder. He sat down next to him and said, "Zhang Ran, your plan is great. It is obvious that you have made a detailed analysis of Athens' plan!"

"Athenia is our opponent, so the students in the director department asked the plan of Sydney and Athens to conduct a detailed analysis of the plan of the whole plan." Zhang Ran shook his head with a wry smile, "But the water in Athens is too great. Our plan is still far from it and we can't win at all. If we can't win the water in Athens, we will lose."

Zhang Yimou deeply agrees with this. The reason why the Olympic Organizing Committee held the opening ceremony of joint team directing is because Athens' pearls and jade are ahead, and only by surpassing Athens can we get a cheer: "Yes, we must find a concept that runs through the whole process to fight against Athens. If we can't find this concept, we will lose. In fact, we not only have to win Athens, but also have to win first, and winning second is a failure!"

Zhang Ran felt that this was reasonable. The opening ceremony of the Peking Olympics was so outstanding that the whole world was still full of excitement, but there were still many people in China cursing. After the opening ceremony of the London Olympics, a group of people jumped up and down and said that London had completely defeated Peking. It is estimated that after the 16-year Rio Olympics, another group of people would jump out and shout that Rio had completely defeated Peking.

If the level of the opening ceremony of the Peking Olympics was really a little bit inferior, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Zhang Ran nodded: "The Chinese people have too high expectations for the Olympics. If they don't win first, they will fail!"

However, Zhang Ran is very confident about this. In my memory, the opening ceremony of the Peking Olympics was originally the first. After joining, he could only make it better and not make it worse.

Zhang Ran said: "To defeat the water in Athens, this concept is really hard to find. We have been thinking about it for almost a year, but we have not found a particularly good concept. By the way, how is your "Golden Armor" filming?"

"The film in Peking has been completed, and the next part is Hengdian. Hengdian is still in the process of setting up the scene. The rectification square will have 600,000 chrysanthemums. It is a big project and can be prepared on the 20th. At the end of the month, I will go to Hengdian to shoot the subsequent scene. You know that this has been decided long ago and it is impossible to stop. I will ask you to go to Hengdian with me at that time!"

Zhang Ran is very supportive of this. After the filming of "Tangshan Earthquake" starts, he will also ask the members of the director team to go to Tangshan with him: "It just happens to be with you to learn and learn!"

"Where do you say?" Zhang Yimou waved his hand with a smile, and then asked, "When will your earthquake start up?"

Zhang Ran said: "Preparing to start the computer on July 28th, the earthquake happened to be the 30th anniversary!"

Zhang Yimou admired Zhang Ran very much and dared to challenge this subject: "The subject of a major earthquake is of great importance and has high attention, but it is not easy to shoot. If it is not good, the people will scold people!"

Zhang Ran also knew this: "A few days ago, I went to Tangshan. Lu Lin from the Propaganda Department told me that many people said, "You see, our Tangshan invested 90 million yuan. Ninety million yuan can build a hospital, three middle schools, and several primary schools can build a movie, but now we will make a movie, but they also said that if the movie is finished, it can attract the attention of the whole country to Tangshan, the benefits will be far greater than building a hospital and building a third middle school. Therefore, when you say this to me, I was under a lot of pressure, which is equivalent to building a hospital, and building a middle school money to make a movie. After hearing Lu Lin's words, I was under a lot of pressure!" But he said firmly: "But no matter what, this movie must be made!"

Zhang Yimou was a little surprised. Who was he competing with? But he understood that there were some things that shouldn't be asked.

At the same time, Zhang Jigang, who was looking at Zhang Ran's team's plan, was also shocked. He looked up at Zhang Ran and felt that this young man with a calm expression was an extremely not simple person.

Early the next morning, Zhang Ran walked into the Beijing Film Academy. The creative work of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games was about to begin, and the class would not be able to be held for a long time, so he had to make some arrangements for the next days and the teaching work in the class.

The students in the class had already gathered in the playground and had already started practicing. When they saw Zhang Ran coming, they stopped practicing and surrounded him.

Yang Mi approached Zhang Ran and said excitedly: "Teacher Zhang, when will you choose a guide? What do you think of me?"

"It's not clear yet, but the selection of guides should be relatively late. It should be conducted in 2008. At that time, the selection of major universities in Peking will be carried out. Our Beijing Film Academy will definitely be the focus of our choice." Zhang Ran looked at Yang Mi and looked at the other three girls in the class. "The girls in our class should not have any chance, they are not tall enough, and the guide seems to be required to be over 1.7 meters!"

Yang Mi smiled and said, "Teacher Zhang, I'm just two centimeters away, so I'll walk through the back door!"

Zhang Ran shook his head: "The Olympics matter is concerned by the whole country, and how many pairs of eyes are staring at it, how can you go through the back door!" He pondered: "But there is a job that is quite suitable for you. I wonder if you are interested?"

Yang Mi thought to herself, how could she be so kind and said skeptical: "What job?"

Zhang Ran said seriously: "The toilets of the Olympic Organizing Committee need to be cleaned by a dedicated person."

Yang Mi was furious: "Zhang Lu'er, you..." Yang Mi reacted quickly: "Ah, no, Teacher Zhang, you are too much!"

Zhang Ran didn't know that Yang's fan was scolding him, and signaled everyone to stand up, and then said: "Everyone knows that I am now the director of the Olympic opening ceremony, and will devote all my efforts to the opening and closing ceremony of the Olympic opening and closing ceremony. Maybe I will give you very little time to class. We have learned more than half of the content of our performance, and the rest are mainly the part of character creation, including how to analyze the text, the elements of the character, dress for the character, and the rhythm of the character. These contents will be responsible for Teacher Guo and Teacher Yan. Of course, don't be lazy, I will definitely come back to check at any time!"

Chang Jirong said: "Teacher Zhang, let it go, we will definitely study hard!"

Fan Yang said seriously: "Teacher Zhang, the Olympics matter is more important, so you can go with confidence!"

Other students also expressed their support, and everyone knew what the opening ceremony of the Olympics meant without any complaints.

At noon, Zhang Ran invited students to have dinner on the third floor of the canteen. The third floor was renovated this year, and the name was changed from the original Guagua Food Street to Xingxing Food Street. However, the students in Zhang Ran's class complained that they were unpalatable and asked Zhang Ran to invite them again in the evening. Zhang Ran naturally would not refuse and agreed with a smile.

After dinner, he returned to the office and sat at his desk thinking about the opening ceremony plan. Just as he was thinking, Yan Shuo on the opposite side suddenly shouted: "Teacher Zhang, Teacher Zhang, Zhang Weiping scolded you in an interview with the media!"

Zhang Ran was stunned: "Zhang Weiping scolded me, why did he scold me?"

Yan Shuo did not explain and handed over the laptop in his hand.

Zhang Ran looked closely and found that some media went to the No. 3 studio of Beijing Film Studio to visit the "Golden Armor" and Zhang Weiping accepted an interview. During the interview, Zhang Weiping directly fired Zhang Ran: "What a good opportunity for Li Man to take on "Golden Armor", but Zhang Ran refused to let him go. Li Man had no choice but to drop out of school. Zhang Ran was too much and was completely destroying the future of his children." (~^~)
