.

Amidst the beautiful singing, our whole China finally ushered in the long-awaited Olympic Games.

The eyes of all of China and the world are on B******J where foreigners of all colors can be seen everywhere.

"Welcome to Beijing!"

"Hello!"

"What can I do for you?"

Many BJ people have worked hard to learn English for several years and finally came in handy.

Everyone is working hard to introduce our capital BJ to friends from all over the world.

Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City, Great Wall, Temple of Heaven.
BJ roast duck, candied haws, fried noodles...

Bird's Nest, Water Cube, Wukesong...

……

Time flies, and on August 8th, the opening ceremony of the BJ Olympic Games has arrived.

The commentary team of TNT TV station is already in place at the live broadcast booth.

"It will be 8:8 p.m. on Friday. The moment of 8:91000 p.m. on August [-] is coming. The attention of China and the world will be on the National Stadium. This National Stadium has a more famous name, 'Bird's Nest' !This ultra-modern building is located in the very center of the main venue. Some [-] spectators have already entered the venue, and they will witness this event with their own eyes.”

Two TNT sports commentators appeared on camera.

"Hi everyone, this is the BJ Olympics site, and I'm Groom Albert."

"I'm Mante Lauer." Mante Lauer was a rookie commentator.

"Mante, this is a different Olympic Games. In the next two and a half weeks, there will be many exciting events. But at this moment, what we are most looking forward to and excited about should be the upcoming opening ceremony .”

Mante: "Yes, I totally agree with what you said, groom. You have a lot of Olympic hosting experience, but this is the first time for me. During this time we have been talking about China, Chinese culture, talking about Chinese athletes, including Li Nan and Liu Xiang, talked about Chinese food. We have eaten BJ roast duck, and it is really delicious.

For now, let's put that aside.Apart from other things, China is a vast country with a well-known huge population. 13 billion people!Four times the population of the United States!I think we're going to see a perfect show.Given the size of China as a country, I thought it would be a big, majestic show.Yes, I'm not exaggerating, it's a fact.There will be 4 cast and crew participating in the show, which is unprecedented!It is an absolute record! "

Mante has eaten a lot of delicious food these days, and the materials are well prepared.

The groom nodded with a smile, "11000 athletes, 15000 cast members, and a budget of 3 million US dollars, which is exactly 10 times that of the Athens Olympic Games four years ago! All these were handed over to Zhang Yimou, the hot director four years ago. We will see what kind of work an artist will present after getting a nearly infinite resource. This will be a real-time performance movie."

"This opening ceremony has gone through careful planning. But there are still many unpredictable factors. Let's wait and see."

"Yes! A lot of wonderful shows are about to be staged. In order to have a deeper understanding, especially from the perspective of the Chinese, we found Mr. Jashur Kupa-Rema, the former foreign editor-in-chief of "Time" in the TNT China Commentary Department. "

The old horseman invited the third commentator Jashur.

Jashur may have been in China for a long time, but his appearance looks a bit Chinese.

"Groom, Mante, it's a pleasure to be here. The Chinese are reaching out to the world tonight in an unprecedented way. A Chinese friend of mine said to me last week: 'This is nothing less than a landing for us. Month, the risk is unprecedented'. With excitement, we entered the bird's nest tonight and began to feel the warmth of tonight"

After the opening remarks of the three of them were similar, the scene suddenly went dark.

As you all know, the countdown program is about to begin!

The beautiful welcome fireworks circled the field and bloomed like flowers over the bird's nest, activating the ancient sundial.

It is very beautiful above the bird's nest. It is full of sundials cast by the sun to measure the time and date. The light of time from the sundial lights up the bird's nest and the rectangular fou array composed of 2008 faces.

Fou is an ancient Chinese percussion instrument made of clay or bronze.As early as the Xia and Shang dynasties, there was the performance of "singing while beating the fou".At this moment, they are conveying the concept of time to us with the rhythm of light.

The night sky is bright, the sound of the fan is loud, and the friendship is boundless.

A welcome ceremony with the unique charm of Chinese classical art is presented to welcome all friends from afar.

Many Chinese don't know this, and foreigners don't even know it.

Jashur explained to audiences in the United States:

"2008 performers stand behind ancient Chinese musical instrument fou, which were unearthed in 2005 from the tombs of Yue noblemen in Hongshan, Wuxi, near Shanghai. It dates back to more than 500 BC. These fou will lead the way later. We welcome the beginning of the countdown."

Soon, the countdown came.

Accompanied by the sound of beating, huge numbers appeared on the scene, and every confrontation of light and shadow numbers indicated that the BJ Olympics was approaching every second.

60!

50!

……

20!

In the last ten seconds, with the huge numbers "played" by the fou-beaters and the explosion of firecrackers on the scene, the tens of thousands of spectators at the scene also counted down together.

"ten"

"Nine"

"Eight"

……

"three"

"two"

"One"

"Oh!!!!"

At this time, it happened to be 2008 o'clock in the evening on August 8, 8!
In the jubilation of the audience, fireworks filled the sky, illuminating the entire Bird's Nest Stadium.

The opening ceremony has officially begun!
Jashur: "The batters just now, their movements are very precise. In the countdown, they are almost exact."

"What? Those numbers were typed out by hand? They weren't manipulated by a computer?" Mante was shocked: "Wow, isn't this incredible?"

Groom-Albert sighed again and again: "Wow, this is the charm of the ancient oriental country."

Many American viewers in front of TNT TV had the same reaction as Manter when they heard the explanation, and they were very shocked.

Jashur smiled slightly, where did he go?

The bird's nest was suddenly dark again.

The first official program of the opening ceremony has just begun.

"Bit the Fou and Sing"

At this moment, 2008 musicians, while beating the fou, chanted loudly the famous lines written by Confucius thousands of years ago in the Analects.

"Have friends come from afar!"

They used a unique way to express BJ's most sincere welcome.Welcome all friends who love friendship and peace to come to BJ, come to China, and welcome all friends who love the Olympic movement to come to the Olympic family.

"2500 years ago, Confucius said: 'To welcome friends from far away is a good thing. It is a joy to have friends from far away.'" Jashur has a deep understanding of China, "Today's stability in China makes This event has become a reality. All this would have been unthinkable 30 years ago."

At this time, what everyone saw was that 2008 fou players were beating the fou in unison.

The old groom-Albert blinked, "Oh, Jashur, am I dazzled, why does everyone I see feel exactly the same?"

"Hahaha!" Jashur laughed, "I also felt the same way during the rehearsal. However, your eyes are not dazzled, they are all real. Their movements are trained after a long rehearsal .”

At this moment, the fou player picked up the red drumstick.

Boom boom boom!
When they were beating the fou in unison, the scene suddenly went dark,
Then, the 2008 pair of red fluorescent sticks danced in the night.

Boom boom boom!
Every red is like an elf dancing in the dark night.

But the booming sound resonated in people's chest.

Mante clutched his left chest, eyes wide open.

The old groom was also shocked.His eyes were fixed on the scene, afraid of missing even a second.

Several people didn't say a word, they just watched the shocking performance on the field helplessly.

Then, suddenly, the whole place lights up.

In 2008, the performers raised their hands and waved "Oh" to celebrate.

The sound of the fan stopped, and the people in the broadcast booth finally came to their senses.

Mante kept shaking his head, "Wow! It's so shocking, I feel like my heart is going to jump out."

The old horseman couldn't help admiring: "I have participated in many Olympic Games and other large-scale events, but this time the opening ceremony is definitely the most exciting and shocking."

The corner of Jashur's mouth twitched, "Guys, the wonderful things are yet to come."

Just as everyone calmed down for a moment, the scene suddenly became dark again.

What's next?
1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds.
"Nothing?"

"Could it be a power outage?"

"No! There is a voice!"

Many American viewers heard it, heard the sound from a distance, getting closer, getting closer, like a huge movement of some huge monster coming.

boom!
boom!
boom!
The TNT TV camera has suddenly switched and appeared in the air outside the Bird's Nest Stadium.

Huge bright footprints appeared in the sky!
"Wow!!!"

The old groom and Mante just sighed, but Jashur wanted to continue working.

"What you are seeing now is a giant footprint made of fireworks that symbolizes the footprints of history.

It starts from Tiananmen Square in the center of BJ's old town, along the north-south central axis, all the way to the Bird's Nest of the New National Stadium.Director Zhang Yimou used such special props to create special effects similar to movies.The 29 footprints, one after the other, symbolize the 29 modern Olympic Games in the history of the Olympic Games.

As we have said before, the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games is as exciting as a real-time movie.Now it seems that it is indeed a blockbuster filmed while filming. "

Watching the big bright footprints walking step by step is indeed like a close-up of a movie.However, it is more shocking than movie special effects.

"Wow! Wow! This idea is really unique! It's really a big deal!"

"Wonderful! Really wonderful!"

"Is this the Chinese Olympic opening ceremony? It's too shocking."

"If only I could be there to witness all of this."

Many Americans, like the three commentators at the scene, were full of splendor in their eyes.

Slowly, step by step, this symbolizes that the pace of Chinese history has come to the center of BJ at this time, reaching the sky above the Bird's Nest.

boom!
boom!
Several huge footprints shone above the bird's nest.

A total of 29 fireworks footprints before and after!
They symbolize the historical footprint of the 29th Olympic Games, and also mean that China's century-old journey to pursue the Olympic dream is approaching step by step, and the moment when the dream comes true.

Seven years ago, when the Chinese handed over the bidding report to the International Olympic Committee, they handed over the promise of a Green Olympics, a Hi-Tech Olympics and a People's Olympics to the world.

Seven years later, the newborn Bird's Nest on Central Axis Road and the Olympic Forest Park have become the happiest partners of the majestic Tiananmen Square.These three distinctive BJ landmarks on the Central Axis Road not only embody the three major concepts of the BJ Olympics, but also connect the yesterday and today of the city of BJ.

boom!
Fireworks as beautiful as waterfalls bloomed in the Bird's Nest Stadium, and above the sky, 2008 smiling face fireworks continuously burst into cheerful smiles.

"Oh!!!!"

Amidst the cheers of all the audience at the scene, the opening ceremony officially began.

At this moment, the Bird's Nest is dotted with stars, like a vast river of stars falling into the world, quickly gathering together and forming the shining Olympic rings in the center of the stadium.

At this time, the beautiful flying fairies are singing and dancing among the stars, beautiful and romantic, like a dream.

American audiences only know how beautiful it is, but they don't know the meaning of all the expressions in it.

Jashur understood:
"Tonight's performance will integrate the three greatest Chinese philosophies, Confucianism of Confucius, Metaphysics of Taoism, and Buddhism of Buddhism. These women in the sky at this time are flying fairies. Not unfamiliar. They symbolize peace and harmony."

The old groom had been listening, feeling that Jashur's mouth was a little dry, so he also came out and added, "Are they like the muses of ancient Greece?"

"Yes, so to speak. They are magical elves that bring happiness and prosperity."

At this moment, the music "Fantasy Five Rings" sounded on the scene.An Olympic five rings composed of starlight exudes a bright light and slowly rises.

"It's the fantasy rings that rise up from the stadium floor like magic. Tonight, we'll see more of these high-tech creations at the event."

"Traditional Chinese art emphasizes the combination of rigidity and softness, and the complementarity of light and shadow. From the grand fou array with surging heads at the beginning, to the delicate and gorgeous dreamy jade ring now. It makes people feel puffy, and then returns to the comfortable softness. This is The beauty of their traditional art."

In the song "Fantasy Five Rings", when the lights were on, the dreamy jade rings rising high in the sky disappeared in an instant, and the beautiful singing of the little girl suddenly sounded on the scene.

"The five-star red flag is fluttering in the wind ~ Yang ~ ~..."

At the same moment, the entire bird's nest turned bright red.

56 children representing 56 ethnic minorities held hands and escorted the Chinese flag into the arena, and walked to the opposite flag stand.

On the red flag stand, a delicate little girl in a red dress with two cute ponytails appeared in front of the camera.

"You must know this cute little girl who leads the singing. That's right, she is the daughter of Nuggets star Lee, Zoe!"

Obviously many Americans know little sister Zoe.

A bright smile appeared on Mante's face, "Zoe is really cute tonight."

"And what I want to say is that Zoe is really a bold girl. In front of an audience of nearly 10 people, it is really rare that she can still maintain her cute and confident smile. I think , many adults can’t do that.”

Groom Albert had a kind smile on his face.But the one who hugged Zoe, seeing Zoe appearing there, was also quite happy in his heart, even a little proud. .

Jashur added, "Zoe was born on July 2001, 7, which happened to be the day when BJ's Olympic bid was successful. The 13-year-old Zoe appeared here, and the implication is also unusual."

In the singing of Zoe's "Singing the Motherland", 56 children handed over the national flag to the flag bearer of the National Flag Guard.

"Jashur, what does it mean that the child handed the national flag into the hands of the soldiers?"

"I think they want to convey a message to the audience watching the opening ceremony and the 13 billion Chinese people that the country is the guarantee of children's future. This is because modern China has been unable to maintain a safe and stable society for children for a long time."

At this time, the flag-raising ceremony was ready, and the audience stood up solemnly.

Raise the national flag and play the national anthem!
Amidst the loud singing of the audience and the attention of 9 people and the whole world, the five-star red flag was slowly raised, and finally fluttered in the wind over the Bird's Nest.

"Oh!!!!"

Amidst the roar of the audience, the cultural performance "Beautiful Olympics" at the opening ceremony began.

In the center of the stadium, a huge scroll slowly unfolded.

Amidst the melodious sound of Guqin, the dancer in black made a landscape painting with his hand as a brush.

When the paintings gradually rose, the attention of foreign countries gradually felt that the opening ceremony of the BJ Olympic Games was different.

Amidst the shocking reading of three thousand disciples of Confucius, the movable type printing created waves of waves, dripping water and waves, carving out the beautiful Chinese character "harmony", creating the Great Wall, and pink peach blossoms in full bloom, warming people's hearts.

Of course, the hundreds of smiling faces drilled out of the cube props at the end are the most shocking.

"Oh Megold!"

"Wow! These were done manually before, not by computers or stunts, but by people!"

"Wow, it's incredible, I'm dumbfounded."

.

In the performance of "Silk Road", Chinese national first-class actor Yin Shuozai's flying solo dance surprised the whole world.

In the infinite starlight, pianist Lang Lang joins hands with girls to play innocent and romantic melodies.

In the nature performance, 2008 extras showed the charm of Tai Chi, and several children added vibrant colors to the ink painting.

The four major inventions, Chinese history such as writing, and China's prosperity since the reform and opening up were all presented to the world at the opening ceremony.

At the end of the program, Chinese singer Liu Huan and famous British singer Sarah Brightman sang the Olympic theme song "You and Me".

"You and I, heart to heart,

live in the global village,
For dreams, travel thousands of miles,
Meet in BJ,

Come on, friend~~~
stretch out your hand~
Me and you, heart to heart,
forever family~~
"

Finally, amidst the singing and dancing of 56 ethnic groups, the cultural performance came to an end.

The few people in the TNT broadcast booth couldn't calm down for a long time.

Mante caressed his chest and kept shaking his head, "Wow! I have to sigh, the opening ceremony of this Olympic Games is really great."

The old horseman was also very upset, "Wow! I said a lot of wow today, but other than saying 'wow', I don't know how to describe my mood at the moment."

Jashur concluded with a smile, "One world, one dream, this is the slogan of this Olympic Games, and it also implies the Chinese people's hope for the future. Regarding this Olympic Games, some people may have their own views and opinions , but the quality of the opening ceremony is absolutely impeccable! This is their great and shocking achievement!"

.

The theatrical performance stage is over, and the next step is the entrance ceremony of the protagonists of this Olympic Games.

As always, the first Greek team to enter the field.

The last entry is the hosts.

"The next entry is the representative team of the People's Republic of China!"

The music at the scene changed suddenly and became a festive "Flowers and Full Moon".

"Ooooooooo!!!"

In the jubilation of tens of thousands of spectators at the scene,

The Chinese delegation marched into the meeting hall with high spirits.

The female athletes wear yellow suits and white skirts, while the male athletes wear red suits and yellow shirts, with the classic combination of tomato scrambled eggs.

Basketball player Yao Liang served as the flag bearer, leading the little hero Lin Hao to the front.

The big devil Zhang Yining smiled slightly at the camera.

Sisters Guo Jingjing and Wu Minxia waved to the camera.

The smiling women's volleyball girls appeared on the big screen at the scene.

Feng Kun, Zhao Ruirui, Wang Yimei, Wei Qiuyue
Finally, the old captain Lin Yue appeared in front of the camera.

The little tiger tilted his head and smiled sweetly, revealing two dimples.

The audience immediately became a sensation.

"Oh!!!"

"Lin Yue! Lin Yue! Lin Yue!"

The charm of the little tiger has not diminished.

At this moment, when the camera turned around, Li Nan was found not far behind.

"Ooooooooo!!!"

The scene boiled instantly.

Li Nan smiled slightly, raised his right hand, spread his index finger and thumb, and pointed it at the camera like a gun.

However, everyone knows that this is the "eight" gesture.

Li Nan won his eighth NBA championship this year!

"Oh oh oh oh!!!"

The scene exploded all of a sudden.

I don't know who took the lead, but the scene suddenly remembered uniform shouts.

"MVP! MVP! MVP!"

"Wow!" Li Nan himself did not expect that the scene where nearly 10 people cheered for him in his fantasy, actually appeared today.

Li Nan smiled and clapped his hands to express his thanks to everyone.

The on-site footage gave Li Nan a full 12 seconds!
Then it was given to other people around Li Nan.

Wang Dazhi!Zhu Fangyu!Liu Wei! …

Every Chinese male basketball player made the fans go crazy!
On the other side, the US team, who had already settled down early and stood a little uncomfortable, was unhappy.

Kobe, Iverson, and O'Neal all glanced at the Chinese men's basketball players who stole the limelight,
"You guys, just wait and see!"

.

Eight flag bearers enter the arena holding the Olympic white flag.

They are representatives of our country's outstanding athletes in different periods.

Zheng Fengrong, the female high jumper who created the first world record in the history of track and field in my country,

Mu Xiangxiong, a swimmer who broke the world record in the [-]-meter breaststroke three times,

Zhang Xielin, who has won many table tennis world champions,

Pando, the female athlete who climbed Mount Everest for the first time,

Li Lingwei, a badminton player who has won 13 world championships,
Yang Ling, a shooter who broke the Olympic record for the 10-meter moving target,
Xiong Ni, a diving athlete who has won gold and silver in four consecutive Olympic Games,
Yang Yang, the short track speed skater who achieved the "zero breakthrough" of the gold medal in my country's Winter Olympics.

80 children in national costumes sang the Olympic anthem.The Olympic flag rose slowly, and together with the five-star red flag, it fluttered high above the stadium.

In front of the five-ring flag, Chinese table tennis player and big devil Zhang Yishun made a solemn oath on behalf of all participating athletes.

"On behalf of all athletes, I guarantee that..."

After taking the oath.

"We meet here, the same smile in different languages..."

Amidst the beautiful singing, 100 girls in white clothes led the athletes, actors and audience, and danced with their hands together to form the image of "Peace Dove".

The side of the bowl of the "Bird's Nest" turned into a big screen, showing images of people of all skin colors "dancing with doves of peace" all over the world.

Using people to deduce the symbol of peace will further highlight the Olympic concept of peace.

At this time, Wang Dazhi in the athlete's phalanx suddenly found that Li Nan was missing.

"Xiao Zhu, have you seen Xiao Li?"

"No." Zhu Fangyu shook his head.

"Didn't you still be here just now? Why did you disappear all of a sudden?"

Wang Dazhi always felt that Xiao Li was a little weird these days. He came back in the middle of the night every day, and he was still sweating profusely when he came back.

"These nights, did you really go to training as he said? No! Who would exercise in the middle of the night? Xiao Li himself said that he should go to bed at ten o'clock in the evening to give his body organs time to rest. Absolutely not Exercise. But if it’s not exercise, what is it?”

At this time, the Olympic torch from the Olympics arrived at the National Stadium, and the exciting Olympic torch lighting ceremony is about to begin.

The audience waved the colored flashlights, shining like thousands of stars.

Over the past four months, the Olympic torch has traveled across the five continents and spread across the land of China. It climbed the world's highest peak, Mount Everest, for the first time. In the relay relay of more than 4 Chinese and foreign torchbearers, it ignited passion and passed on dreams all the way.

The Xiangyun torch will carry out the final relay in the Bird's Nest Stadium.

Xu Haifeng, who won the first gold medal in Chinese Olympic history, Gao Min, the first Olympic springboard diving gold medalist in China, Zhan Xugang, the only two Olympic gold medal winners in Chinese weightlifting history, and the first badminton mixed doubles gold medal in Chinese Olympic history The winner Zhang Jun, Chen Zhong, China's first Olympic taekwondo champion over 67 kg, and Sun Jinfang, the former captain of the Chinese women's volleyball team who made great contributions to winning the "three consecutive championships" for the Chinese women's volleyball team.

Six famous athletes who had created brilliance one after another, jogged in the stadium holding the torch in their hands, and were warmly welcomed by the audience.

Li Ning, the 7th torchbearer and gymnast prince who won 6 gold medals in a single World Cup.He carried the torch to a beacon on the stadium, where a player had been waiting for a long time.

Searchlights on!
The last torchbearer is Li Nan!

Li Nan, who led the Chinese men's basketball team to win the Olympic gold medal!

When the searchlights on the scene focused on Li Nan, cheers erupted from the scene.

"Oh!!!"

Anyway, Kobe Iverson in the US team suddenly became envious of Li Nan.

Wang Dazhi and others in the Chinese team's phalanx were all taken aback.

"Wow!"

"It's the captain! The captain is the last torchbearer!"

"It should be the captain!"

I'm jealous!Of course, everyone is also proud of Li Nan.

Wang Dazhi opened his mouth slightly, he finally knew why Xiao Li went back to the dormitory in the middle of the night.
At this time, the torch in Li Nan's hand was already lit.

The torch tower, which had been hidden in the Bird's Nest Stadium for a long time, finally unveiled its mystery at this time.

The entire torch tower is presented as a rolled-up picture scroll.The lower part of the torch tower is red, and the upper part is silver with auspicious cloud patterns.

So, how to light the torch of the torch tower?
At this moment, Li Nan told everyone the answer.

Li Nan gestured an OK gesture, and then, holding the torch high, he suddenly soared into the air.

"Wow~~~"

Amidst the exclamations at the scene, Li Nan ran vigorously on a slowly unfolding Chinese-style scroll above the stadium, and at the same time, the dynamic image of BJ's Olympic torch passing around the world was displayed on the scroll.

In the air, Li Nan "runs" around the field for a week, and at this time he is already sweating profusely.

Not because of the heat, not because of being tired, but because of the height, it's scary, and the sweat is all from being scared.

In the previous month, for the sake of confidentiality, he started practicing at one or two o'clock in the middle of the night every day after the rehearsals of other teams were over.

Every day, I was hung in the air to practice beautiful running posture, and I was also scared to sweat profusely.

However, no matter how hard and tiring and scary, Li Nan persisted.

For this moment, everything is worth it.

The torch tower is in front of you.

Before the fuse was ignited, Li Nan couldn't wait for a moment, so he directly burned the fuse, and the holy flame suddenly rushed up the huge torch tower.

The torch tower suddenly ignited gushing flames, and the blazing Olympic torch reflected the sky above the stadium brilliantly.

"Oh!!!!!!"

The torch was lit and the audience erupted.

Gorgeous fireworks soared into the sky, blooming the most beautiful brilliance in the night sky of BJ.

The BJ Olympics has begun!
