Chapter 578 [Superheroes, the opening of the Olympic Games]
Sarah Brightman, born in 1960, is 22 years older than Liang Kun, but they share a common language after meeting.
Of course, Brightman knew Liang Kun and knew how versatile he was.
She wanted to see Liang Kun's strength, but Liang Kun did not refuse. She was proficient in ethnic instruments, violins, and piano, which made her and the Olympic staff amazed her.
There were folk music performances at the opening ceremony, including Liang Kun's works, but this time Liang Kun will not participate in it.
Liang Kun also completed an orange task by the way. Brightman's voice was not as powerful as when he was at the peak of his youth, and there was a little problem. Liang Kun gave her a yellow prop "Broken Throat Lozenges".
The next day, Brightman found that his voice had returned to the peak of his life, and he was so happy. When she was happy, she praised China's environmental protection in an interview.
"When I stepped off the plane from England, I prepared five masks in total. I was about to take out one and put it on, but when I breathed the first breath of Chinese air, I put away the mask. The air was so sweet and fresh that it made my throat better."
English is profound and profound, this is not what Brightman said, but it basically means it after translation.
Liang Kun did this to add a layer of insurance to the Olympics. The two of them must really sing at the Olympics and not make mistakes. They are not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid of one, so be careful of sailing for ten thousand years.
The reward he received was the anti-eye potion +1. As the first generation of Christine Daiye, Brightman cared about his appearance very much.
Both of them are top singers. A simple song like "You and Me" can be very tacit with me. With enough time, they simply practiced for a while and sang a song "Phantom of the Opera".
The Olympic music team was fortunate to see this cross-border collaboration and was surprised by Liang Kun's strength. With his Oscar nomination, it would be fine to go to Broadway to perform musicals.
When Liang Kun heard everyone discussing topics about music, he also gave Zhang Yimou a little suggestion, that is, never let the little girl lip-sync at the opening ceremony.
The technical team is preparing to "change voices" to let one girl lip-sync and play the song recorded by another girl. This practice is destined to cause controversy.
"Director Zhang, you must not do this because it is impossible to do confidentiality. There are too many people who know it. Wouldn't some news be heard? There is no airtight wall in the world. Now it is the Internet age. If you post anonymously, you don't know who revealed it."
In a parallel world, even though the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games achieved great success, Zhang Yimou still felt regretful. Because of his confusion, a little girl was borne a lot of infamous, and this girl was Lin Miaoke.
At this world-renowned opening ceremony, Lin Miaoke's song "Singing the Motherland" was shocking, and she became popular all over the country. However, shortly after becoming famous, the media revealed that she lip-synced and used another girl named Yang Peiyi's voice.
As soon as this incident happened, Lin Miaoke suffered a lot of criticism and was listed by Time magazine as one of the top ten scandals of 2008. The negative impact continued until ten years later.
Lin Miaoke is actually a victim, a victim of the adult world.
After the lip-syncing incident was exposed, the 9-year-old girl was subjected to fierce attacks and abuses from extreme netizens, and suffered a lot of things she should not bear. In that grand opening ceremony, her performance was just one part of it. Of course, she had no right to decide how to act and what to act.
After causing public opinion storm, Zhang Yimou has been very guilty of himself. At first, he wanted to let Lin Miaoke really sing, but because her pitch was a little worse, the technical team wanted to change the voice, and the international broadcasting team also believed that this was just a situational performance and could change the voice. If Zhang Yimou persisted, this would not be the case.
"Are you sure it's not possible?"
Liang Kun smiled and said, "Unless you want to go to the top ten scandals of the year reported by foreign media, you can't do this. People are disgusted with lip-syncing, no matter how young the performer is, it doesn't matter if she is not that good, because she is just a child."
Zhang Yimou smiled bitterly and said, "What if she is too nervous and makes serious mistakes?"
"Then find a little girl who has strong singing skills, is brave and will not make mistakes to sing. I think it doesn't matter if she is a little ugly. This is a singing performance, not a Loli beauty pageant. This year, a little girl in the United States became famous for singing Whitney Houston's "I Will Love You forever". She has no front teeth and speaks invisible. Everyone thinks she is cute and her performance is very exciting because she really sings.
"Okay, thank you for reminding me that I will think seriously." Zhang Yimou nodded.
He had already figured out one thing: two girls can do whatever they want, the premise is to sing.
Liang Kun did not take on anyone's mission, but he would not sit idly by and watch a scandal appear at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. Everything else is good, and the lip-syncing incident is the most serious mistake.
The actors performed a collective rehearsal to prepare for the formal performance.
Zhang Yimou finally chose Yang Peiyi, who sang better, to play. This child is a natural singer and recorded the children's voice version of the theme song of the Yanjing Olympics "You and Me". Brightman and Liang Kun both liked it very much.
The team wanted Yang Peiyi to speak behind the scenes because she was changing teeth, and Lin Miaoke's stage image was even better. After Liang Kun gave the example of an American girl without front teeth leaking, Zhang Yimou no longer had to worry about teeth.
During a rehearsal, something terrifying happened.
A well-known female dancer named Liu Yan fell off the platform. What's amazing is that Liang Kun happened to be at the bottom of the stage. He reacted quickly and caught her, so no tragedy happened.
Many things have bright and beautiful sides, as well as sad and helpless sides. For example, because of the "one step difference, one second difference", Liu Yan, who has become a well-known dancer and a disabled person. Liang Kun saw this news in his previous life, so he deliberately wandered around and waited. When things were about to happen, he ran over at a speed of 9.5 seconds a hundred meters and received someone.
The source of this tragedy was simply because of a mistake made by the staff in a second.
The flying dance requires the dancer to complete the performance in three meters of air, so the actors not only have to dance in the air, but also quietly return to the ground from the stage after the dance.
Every performance of the opening ceremony was completed at a standstill, with very strict time limits. The dancers of "Silk Road" also had strict and precise time limits from taking the stage to exiting.
When Liu Yan participated in the rehearsal and was about to leave the show after the performance, an accident happened. The car station that picked her left one second in advance, and the difference was that Liu Yan, who was on a high place, stepped on the air and fell down.
When people are in high altitude without external objects, no on-site reaction can be effectively rescued. And we cannot expect that Liu Yan, who has just finished the performance and consumed a lot of physical strength, can react quickly within that second and jump onto the departing vehicle platform in time.
She stepped on the air and turned into a tragedy that Zhang Yimou could never let go. After Liu Yan was sent to the hospital, the doctor gave the conclusion that she was paralyzed at a high position.
This is fatal to a dancer. Liu Yanzheng was a dancer who could go hand in hand with top dancers like Venus and Tan Yuanyuan, who had a high reputation in the international community.
Liang Kun caught Liu Yan with his arm, and all the bystanders were shocked and rushed forward to help. Fortunately, neither of them was injured.
Sanmi said it was not high, but it was not something that ordinary people could do to catch a falling adult steadily.
Any obstacle to the fall process may increase the chances of the fallen person's survival. Of course, this often requires the brave man to pay the price of his own injury to help the fallen person share part of the impact.
Liang Kun's physical fitness is far superior to ordinary people, and this height of pressure cannot hurt him. He also has the characteristics of "beating gently". He does not hope that the other party will not be injured because of his own Qilin arms.
This incident immediately became news. There were still many days before the opening of the Olympics, and Liang Kun became a superhero without winning the gold medal.
Liang Kun said in an interview: "I was nearby and rushed over when I felt there was danger. If she didn't fall down, I would probably affect the rehearsal at most, and it would be no big deal. I felt that this design was dangerous. When performing, the actors shouldn't take such risks."
Zhang Yimou also accepted an interview. "I feel scared, but fortunately Liang Kun is quick-witted. We will adjust the performance method of this program to ensure that this will not happen again."
Even if there is no task, Liang Kun will do the good things he should do. His simple work can change the other person's life.
On August 8, the Olympic Games opened in Yanjing's "Bird's Nest".
The stadium was full and the crowd was excited. More than 91,000 spectators and heads of state of many countries participated.
At the opening ceremony, the "Bird's Nest" became a sea of joy, and everyone's face was filled with a happy smile. This grand event will help China establish a strong prestige in the international community.
After raising the national flag and singing the national anthem, the Chinese flag was raised as the host in the Olympic sky for the first time.
Then an art performance began, and a huge scroll appeared on the venue. This huge LED screen, 147 meters long and 27 meters wide, is the center of the art performance. This is a long scroll that shows the five thousand years of history of China. Then the four great inventions, Chinese characters and other cultures were presented to the world.
This opening ceremony is much more complicated than the 2004 Athens Olympics. It is not the same level at all. It is the most gorgeous opening ceremony in the history of the Olympics. Peking Opera, Kunqu Opera, and costume actors' ritual music.
Liang Kun was one of the protagonists of the night and sang the theme song with Sarah Brightman on the spherical stage. "You and I are in love with each other, living in the global village..."
The performance of Li Ning, the "Prince of Gymnastics", was the most outstanding. He hung a wire "Flying" over the bird's nest, lit the holy fire on the auspicious clouds, which amazes the whole world.
