Since 1983

August 6, 2008, afternoon.

Xu Fei woke up on the sofa, his whole body ached.

He hasn't been home for a week. He runs around the building and the bird's nest, his work and rest are completely reversed. The same is true for Lao Mouzi. The two are like two teachers, giving final guidance to the students before the college entrance examination.

I went to the bathroom to wash my face, and when I came back, someone called me and hurried to the conference room.

It is said to be a conference room, but it is actually a room vacated inside the bird's nest as a command center. There is a countdown card on the wall, which is so red that it is 2 days away from the opening ceremony!

The directors of each editing and directing team were present, and Zhang Guoshi was talking: Have you noticed the camera cuts today? I told everyone about it a few months ago, and today I started to honor it.

Many of our facial expressions and details will be shown on the big screen, because the director wants to capture individuals and close-ups. So in the last two days, don't bother to pick out the movements and line up, we are already very tidy, quite tidy!

That's right, apart from North Korea, we are second in the world.

Suddenly interrupted, Zhang Guoshi lost his emotions, glared at someone, and continued: The overall situation is settled! From now on, we will focus on our mental outlook!

Attention all the team leaders, all the actors must smile for me as long as they come on stage, and they must present a happy, enthusiastic, and contagious face.

Again, we are responsible for this matter. It is absolutely unacceptable to cut someone's face on the big screen. When the 4 billion viewers around the world see it, that face is nervous and distracted... then it's over!

Xu Fei didn't complain this time, and emphasized: There are 48 hours left, please put up your expressions. If you really can't laugh, you should maintain an upward and positive attitude.

Everyone dispersed.

Xu Fei and Zhang Guoshi walked through the passage to the stands outside.

No matter how many times, facing a large stadium that can accommodate nearly 100,000 people, I always feel emotional. The auditorium is empty, there are personnel in the venue below for maintenance, and the security guards on the top are walking around.

And around the upper edge, the display screens are installed, and the end point is the torch.

Not long ago, during the second rehearsal with the audience, Teacher Xu captured the South Korean SBS TV station secretly carrying a camera on the spot and blasted him out.

Historically, this TV station secretly filmed and shamelessly broadcast a video of more than 2 minutes.

That kind of clarity and sliding lens is obviously a professional camera. You know, all media personnel have to go through security checks and sign a non-disclosure agreement.

How did they get in there with the cameras?

And there is a rumor that the ignition plan was changed due to this sneak shot. It was also said that it was a technical problem that gave up Phoenix Ignition.

Because Li Ning has been training for a long time, and Xiong Ni is a backup, it doesn't seem like a temporary decision.

In short, there is no conclusive evidence or official statement on this matter.

Zhang Guoshi stood at the entrance of the passage, looked with his hips on his hips for a long time, and suddenly asked: Are you nervous?

Nervous, but we can't show it.

I understand that I have been relieving them of stress. But sometimes I can't help but think that if this fails, it will be a stain for a lifetime, and I will not be able to hold my head up for the rest of my life.

Do your best and obey the destiny.

Xu Fei was no less stressed than him, and sighed: Everyone has done everything they can, and the rest can only be left to luck.

Luck? That's right.

Luck is very important to achieve great things.

Coincidentally, the two started to engage in superstition, and they were very tired. They held their breath until the 8th day.

In addition to the final sprint, there are more public relations matters in this paragraph. A large number of people come to visit every day, such as Big Head Liu, Sarah Brightman, Li An, Roger, Leader Liu, and various media.

Xu Fei was also interviewed by Ms. Chai once.

That's right, it's Miss Chai.

…………

BJ welcomes you and breaks new ground for you. The flowing charm is full of vigor...

In the evening, this song floated in the streets and alleys.

Odd and even numbers have been implemented in Beijing, the traffic flow has decreased significantly, and Chinese red and Olympic promotional posters can be seen everywhere. Pedestrians came and went in a hurry as usual, but there was a look of anticipation on their faces.

Xu Fei made a temporary decision and went back to Baihua Hutong.

Advance to the garage, and press a button to remind someone to enter the door. There is no way, the family is too big, and the feelings are alienated.

Followed to the dining room, and sure enough a family of four was having dinner.

Yo, why are you back today?

Just a little empty.

You don't say anything when you come back, Xiaohu goes to get the bowls and chopsticks.

Let's go in a while, I don't count as passing through the house and not entering.

Teacher Xu sat down and saw that the table was full of noodles. Xiaoxu and Zhang Li ate noodles with fried sauce, while their daughter and son ate noodles with sesame sauce.

He asked for a bowl of noodles with sesame sauce, boiled water, with cucumber shreds spread out, it was cold and refreshing.

I'm stuffed!

I'm full too!

Go and eat, don't watch TV right away.

The two children ran away, leaving three people.

No one asked him how the opening ceremony was. After snorting and snoring, Zhang Li got up and took a small bowl of dried fruit: I just made it this morning, try it.

This is made with dried apricots, dried persimmons, fresh lotus root and raisins, poured with sweet-scented osmanthus juice, and chilled with ice, it will be crispy when cold, sweet and sour to relieve heat.

It tastes good, sister Lan made it?

Um.

She can be a chef now... Hey, why don't you shoot some videos of her and put them on the Internet, and bring out a 'cooking grandma'.

Xu Fei brainstormed while eating, and finally wiped his mouth: What's up lately?

It's nothing, just Jiang Wen sent a script, it's quite interesting for us to read.

Jiang Wen is so courageous, he dared to shoot this thing.

Xiao Xu brought a thick notebook with no names yet, so Xu Fei casually flipped through it, and spotted Zhang Mazi, Huang Silang, and Shi Ye.

Feel happy, call immediately.

Hey, Old Ginger!

Look, let me tell you, don't move yet, I'll be the producer when I'm done with the opening ceremony.

Regardless of Lao Jiang's mood, he hung up with a snap.

Entering 2008, he really didn't care much about the film industry. Especially August, which used to be a lively summer vacation, is deserted this year. After all, no one can compete with the Olympics.

Either move forward or move backward.

So in May and June, 20 and 25 films were released respectively, which also shows that the base number has increased.

Jiang Wen's play is naturally Let the Bullets Fly!

Followed by One Step Away and Hidden Man, which constitute the trilogy of the Republic of China. The latter two films were too obscure, and the reputation and box office at the time were not very good, but as time went by, some people re-recognized these two plays.

In fact, it's no wonder that if Lao Jiang's filming is not ambiguous, he will not pass the trial at all.

After Xu Fei finished his meal, he stayed to chat for a while.

At about seven o'clock, I stood up: Okay, I have to go.

Well, pay attention to your body, you are also in your 40s. Xiao Xu reminded.

Do you want to bring some ginseng tea or something? Zhang Li asked.

I've prepared it. Fruit drinks, tea, medicine, snacks...they're all there.

Walking out of the main room and pushing open the door of the west wing, the two children were watching TV inside.

Xiaolong shouted: Dad, I like this girl!

Who is it?

When he saw it, it was a sitcom Computer Doll, with a chubby little girl.

Well, it's pretty cute.

Yes, yes, I also think it's cute, and I want to be friends with her. Xiaolong said happily.

If there is a chance in the future, I will have to go now.

When the two children heard it, they came out very sensible to see it off. Teacher Xu got into the car again and left Baihua Hutong.

…………

Night, Olympic Tower.

Most of the people didn't leave, and some of them even stayed up more than a hundred nights, because the effect of many programs can only be seen at night.

This group of people is black and white, which is equivalent to working night shift.

Zhang Guoshi was in the office, except for the photographer who made the documentary, there was no one else. As soon as Xu Fei came in, the camera aimed at him immediately. He was not surprised and pretended that the right didn't exist.

You went back?

Go back and have a meal.

Then you stay at home, there is nothing specific here.

I can't wait, come here and be more at ease.

Xu Fei walked around the room, looked at the blackboard, and looked at the information. There was indeed no specific task, so he said, Shall we go through the process again?

Okay, I was thinking about it.

Wipe the blackboard clean and each take a pen.

Set a circle of firecrackers, sundial, light on the fou array, countdown, big footprints.

The display of the five rings, the national flag, and the smiles of children from fifty-six ethnic groups.

The position of the paper is correct, and the four axes of the painting scroll switch...

Athletes step on footprints, stationers confirm formation...

Torch technical support personnel, make sure to retreat...Confirm the ignition password again, confirm the No. 1 headset again, and confirm the fuse again...

In addition to the process, there are various details that need attention.

The two wrote alternately, and Teacher Xu suddenly remembered something: Lin Hao is coming out with Yao Ming, have you notified the team leader?

Snapped!

Zhang Guoshi slapped his hands: Forget it!

You keep it too secretive, and the executor doesn't even know.

Xu Fei immediately contacted the head of the Chinese delegation and told him about the matter. When the Chinese athletes came out, let Yao Ming and Lin Hao be together.

Dayao is the standard-bearer, and Lin Hao is the little hero of earthquake relief. Historically, due to too much secrecy, the head of the group didn't know, so he stopped Lin Hao from going.

Dayao walked away for a long time before someone chased him with the child in his arms.

The on-site director was also clever. He didn't turn the previous paragraph, and waited for the two to stand together before showing the camera.

Xu Fei's positioning for himself is to check for gaps and make up for leaks, so that the preparation process goes smoothly and avoids regrets. For example, the shadow puppet show.

One is overtime, the other is that there are too many cultural symbols to be deleted, and the third is that the shadow puppet is too huge, like a robot, and has lost the original meaning of the shadow puppet.

Coupled with factors such as lighting failures, the soldiers practiced hard for a year, but they were eventually removed.

Zhang Guoshi was emotional, and in order to make up for it, he transferred the soldiers to Peking Opera, which made it a bit abrupt.

Now, from the very beginning, Xu Fei rejected the shadow puppet, and there is no such thing as whether to take it or not.

The two of them checked each other, and they seemed to feel more relaxed psychologically.

The photographer who made the documentary came to communicate and wanted to do a simple interview, so he took two chairs.

Xu Fei spoke first: Don't ask about your mood, don't ask. We are all self-hypnotic now, who can be tired or nervous? Hold on!

That's right, what can I do if I don't stand up? Make it through the last two days. Zhang Guoshi said.

Then what do you want to do after completing the mission?

sleep!

The two spoke in unison, and Xu Fei smiled and said, After you've had enough rest, what should you do? Continue making movies.

After you acquired Golden Harvest, there were rumors that your assets are quite astonishing, and you can compete for the richest man in mainland China. Would you like to explain?

Hey, I've always been a filmmaker, it's just that Bo has money.

I have never touched money, money means nothing to me, my biggest mistake is creating Times Media, Sohu, Ali, Penguin, Elaine, Rhonda Barabara...
