Since 1983

March 27, Olympic Building.

Today is the first creative workshop for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.

After the second round of presentations, the Olympic Organizing Committee made a decision to allow the joint operation of the top three scores. So Zhang Guoshi was the chief director, Zhang Jigang of the People's Liberation Army team, and Chen Weiya of the National Song and Dance Troupe were the deputy chief directors.

The matter has been decided, but it has not been announced to the public. It is said that a press conference will be held next month to officially issue the letter of appointment.

In the meeting room in the morning, people arrived one after another.

There are nearly 300 people in the entire team, and those who can sit here are all core members, including Cai Guoqiang, the chief visual effects designer, with bronze skin, who looks smoky and looks like a firecracker.

In addition, Chen Qigang, the chief music designer, and Yu Jianping, the head of the technical team - the dean of the Beijing Special Engineering Design Institute, planned Wang Chaoge, Fan Yue, Chen Danqing and so on.

Plus some other personnel, sat in a big room.

In the corridor outside, the photographer in charge of shooting the documentary is following one person.

Mr. Xu, what will be the next blockbuster film?

Earth Cannon won the first box office in the mainland, do you have the confidence to break through yourself?

Are you still making sci-fi movies?

Xu Fei gave him a sideways glance, and wondered, Why do you add private goods? Isn't this an Olympic documentary?

Your loyal fans, the filming hasn't started yet!

Let's wait for the next film, the opening ceremony is the priority.

He strode into the conference room, and there were all big bosses inside. Although they didn't stand up to greet him, they all looked sideways. After all, he had just completed a milestone work, and it hit the whole country with a bombardment!

A 41-year-old man with the pinnacle of maturity and charm. Not bald or oily, tall and straight, with a strong waist and long legs, he looks first-class.

With a work card around his neck: production director!

All the staff were seated, Zhang Guoshi presided over the meeting, and said: Today's first seminar, some of you here are familiar with some, and some are not familiar with them, and many of them are meeting for the first time.

This is a long process, not only for creativity, but also for all of us to work it out as soon as possible...

Civilization and harmony, there is no way to perform. The most urgent thing is to find a carrying concept...

Balabala talked for a while, Zhang Jigang's personality was lively, and he said first: It's too complicated, you can talk a little bit first, just say a little bit, what do you want to see?

Don't explain, don't need any explanation, just like the water in Athens, at first glance, this is China!

Zhang Guoshi talked a lot, and his voice was full of emotion: I hope to complete a performance on the spot. This behavior runs through the whole process. From the beginning to the end, it is different from foreign countries and China's past.

Ideas are from abstract to concrete, from idea to program.

Xu Fei listened very carefully. He had a complete set of answers, but he couldn't give them out directly. All of you who have worked so hard in history cannot be shamelessly taken away by me.

What he wants to do is to save everyone some time and avoid rushing rehearsal later.

There was a lot of discussion, and during a short break, Teacher Xu said: I think there are two points, one is the structure of your four great inventions, it must not work.

Why not? How great are the four great inventions! Zhang Guoshi was puzzled.

There can be elements of the four major inventions, but if they are used as the core structure, it will be very narrow. I think it can be integrated into the chronological order that I made before, isn't it to express the idea of ​​​​and? Think about how to combine it.

Secondly, the construction of the Bird's Nest did not take into account the opening ceremony, that is to say, the extravagant hype we are thinking about now may be invalidated due to the constraints of the site.

And there is a message from the Bird's Nest, asking us to submit a plan before the construction is completed, so they can dig pipes, dig holes and the like. Because once this thing is dug out, it cannot be changed.

So I suggest to go to the field as soon as possible to check the conditions of the venue.

Historically, Lao Mouzi was based on the four major inventions, but was rejected by the big leaders in charge at the time.

As a result, many plans were overturned and reworked, and the time was tight. By the end of 2007, there were no rehearsals, and there were frequent problems with equipment and props.

After Xu Fei finished speaking, everyone was noncommittal about the first point, but the second point was very practical.

Seeing this, he couldn't help reminding again: Please pay attention, our plan is subject to review, and the reviewer is likely to be a big leader.

Artistic creation should be simple, but the opening ceremony cannot be simple, and there are many aspects to consider.

This sentence made Zhang Guoshi waver.

The advantages of his character are that one is able to listen to opinions, and the other is that he knows how to compromise.

Subconsciously, he felt that Mr. Xu was right, because a guy who could lead a team to study the central documents was trustworthy in his political sensitivity.

…………

The meeting ends in the afternoon.

Xu Fei and Zhang Guoshi were in the same car. It was raining lightly in the capital, and it was wet and cool. They passed by a bus stop with a poster of Earth Cannon on the bulletin board.

It's been two months since the film was released?

Well, the Film Bureau called me yesterday and said that it will be postponed for another month.

To be honest, I also want to make such a film, but I really don't understand the future, technology, and I'm afraid I won't grasp it well...

Zhang Guoshi was a little envious, and there was no outsider at the moment, so he asked privately: Do you have any inside information that prevents me from using the four great inventions?

It has nothing to do with the inside story, it's still a lack of awareness.

Xu Fei sighed, and said, I've said it many times. The opening ceremony is not just a performance. There are a lot of political things in it. If you take the four major inventions as the core, it means that you have squeezed out what some countries want to express. You have to make room.

Like the Silk Road?

Yes, connect with the world!

All right, all right.

Zhang Guoshi nodded, feeling a little regretful.

While talking, Zhang Guoshi arrived at the place first, and then drove to Baihua Hutong. After parking in the garage, Xu Fei also stepped on a Segway and floated in.

Everyone was there, Xu Yuling was carrying a small pink schoolbag, and everyone was busy praising her.

Huh?

He saw the wives were taken aback, didn't you two wear them back? Still having fun.

dad!

Xu Yuling ran over: Look at my schoolbag! Look at my schoolbag!

Yeah, beautiful!

He asked Xiao Xu: Is everything done?

I haven't registered yet, but I have already agreed to go to the primary school attached to the National People's Congress.

good.

He patted his daughter's dog's head, wave after wave.

When the three of them entered the room, Teacher Xu stretched his waist in an unimpressive manner, and said, I just finished the meeting, and now it's settled. I basically bid farewell to the film industry before the opening ceremony.

It's fine to stop and stop. As the saying goes, prosperity must decline. If you take a break and shoot again, it may be another peak. Zhang Li said.

As a production director, you are busier than the director? Xiao Xu said.

I have to take care of everything! Costumes and props for tens of thousands of people, eating and drinking, what a big project... Oh yes, let me take this opportunity to talk to you two.

Teacher Xu held one in each hand, and said, You two have one clothing and one commercial real estate, and you have already achieved first-class status in China. If you continue to develop, you will continue to expand and expand, which is meaningless.

It's time to think about cross-border development.

Go ahead.

Xiaoxu didn't know where to grab melon seeds.

First of all, let's forget about the Internet. I plan to use Times Ventures to incubate several new companies. You can enter new manufacturing and high-tech.

for example?

Such as energy conservation and environmental protection, new energy, new materials, bioengineering, aerospace and navigation...

My God, you don't have a fever, do you? Zhang Li patted his head.

Of course I don't want you to do it all at once, take your time. Now you can try electronic products, smart home appliances, mobile phones, drones, hey!

Teacher Xu slapped his hands, drone!

DJI is holding back in Shencheng!
