Chapter 55 053. The interests of the motherland are above all else (ask for the first decision!)
"The decision to change the name of the Bird's Nest...is a bit too difficult. After all, you have already determined the official names of the main venues in our country, including the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube, and submitted them to the international. Now suddenly changing the name...I think it is unlikely."
"It's not impossible. After all, the implication of the rebirth of the phoenix is more in line with the theme of our Olympic Games. Even if there are difficulties, I think we should work hard."
"Would the sense of technology be too heavy? Director Zhang, what do you mean? The phoenix feather must be displayed in the form of a picture on the big screen above the bird's nest? I think it's a bit less to pass the torch and light the main torch like this." Humanities are in it."
"Why not use real giant feathers?"
"That's absolutely not possible. The safety hazard is too great, and the fire department will not agree. There are tens of thousands of people. If something goes wrong by then, it will be nailed to the pillar of shame for us!"
"Phoenix Nest...Auspicious and wishful, the dragon and the phoenix bring prosperity, we are the descendants of the dragon...I think it's quite appropriate."
A group of people chattered and discussed there. It has been going on for ten or twenty minutes, and there is no intention of stopping. There are also various questions interspersed in it, and the object of the question is mainly a middle-aged man... Everyone is asking him whether the technology can be realized.
Xu Xin didn't know the identity of this person, but he should be an engineering expert responsible for realizing these people's ideas.
But now his attention has shifted from their chat to the manuscript paper in front of him.
The torch plan for the Olympic Games has not yet been determined. The global call for proposals just ended on February 28 this year. It is estimated that the Olympic Organizing Committee is still selecting designs.
But he felt...the red and silver torch full of auspicious cloud patterns in the dream was very beautiful.
So I simply drew it now to have a look.
It’s not that he’s going to contribute, but because he wants to understand what kind of effect the scene of “opening like a fan” in Director Zhang’s mind is put on paper.
And this torch is difficult to draw, it is not difficult, but it is also a bit troublesome.
It is mainly the auspicious cloud pattern above.
The specific pattern of auspicious clouds was a little vague in Xu Xin's dream, so he could only come up with his own understanding.
Shaanxi's historical heritage predestined that every child born in this yellow land has a kind of... even if they don't understand the traditional culture of their own country, it will be unforgettable in their bones after watching too much.
Auspicious cloud lines, he has seen too many.
From small cave dwellings to large tomb steles, to what historical buildings...
Too much, too much.
So, he chose the one he thought looked good, and sketched it there.
A page of manuscript paper is like a torch.
An inverted cone, the lower part is blackened with a carbon pen first, and an arrow "← red" is typed, and then the pattern of auspicious clouds circled and circled on the torch begins to be drawn.
After sketching out the outline, start to add shadows to make the torch look more three-dimensional.
After the pattern of a torch came out, the people in the meeting room had already started to discuss whether the "behavior" that Xu Xin didn't know what it was could be compared with "Phoenix Nest", "Phoenix" and "Bath of Fire". The meaning of "rebirth" is combined.
Actually, Xu Xin was also quite curious...but what he was even more curious about was what was the purpose of Zhang Yimou calling everyone here tonight?
At this time, shouldn't we first confirm the personnel list, team composition and so on?
Why did you start the detailed design directly?
I don’t understand.
But it has nothing to do with him, although he really wants to make a contribution... If nothing else, just say that if Zhang Yimou can be selected as the director of the opening and closing ceremonies, and if he can also be in it... well, just do a chore Bar.
That Xu Xindou Le's fart.
Not for anything else, but for the sake of being able to write my name and achievements on the family tree in the village.
Then...
Say something vulgar.
It's really **** glorious!
Thinking about it makes me excited...but he can't recommend himself.
Because Teacher Yu brought him here today, he has distinctive symbolic characteristics. In case you do something outrageous... It doesn't matter if you are laughed at, after all, you have to bear the consequences if you dare to stand up. But if it affects Teacher Yu because of himself, then absolutely not.
So... In the worst case, I will do errands for Teacher Yu in the future.
I can't beat Lao Mouzi, so why don't I be a dog's leg to our teacher Yu?
Being able to contribute to the country, no matter how small it is, this glory is also worth remembering for a lifetime.
So, they discussed their work, these directors are too high-level, whether it is the knowledge reserve or the eye-catching experience of our rural children, to be honest, there is no shame in bowing our heads to capable people.
We can't compare.
Then play your own chant.
So, after looking at the torch he designed, he turned a new page, turned the manuscript paper sideways, and first outlined an oval.
He wanted to try to see if he could intuitively draw the effect of the torch like a fan that Zhang Yimou mentioned.
And now there are ideas.
It was in the exciting picture in the dream.
…
Unknowingly, the time has come to almost 11 o'clock in the evening.
And there were twenty or thirty people in a room.
These were all brought back by Zhang Yimou's sudden killing, which led to a change of schedule and rushed over halfway.
And many people seem to have the same idea as Xu Xin.
At first, everyone thought that today would be over soon, just to break down the process or something, and then got a certain news from Director Zhang, such as the news of who would win the most important opening and closing ceremonies.
As a result, Zhang Yimou didn't mention it.
Instead, it turned the meeting into a discussion.
Guys, ideas abound.
From the torch, to the renaming of the bird's nest, to "behavior", to looking for an expression carrier that can perfectly carry the five thousand years of Chinese culture...
And what’s even more bizarre is…
I don’t know if these artists really don’t have assistants, or what…
Xu Xin was still the only one on the chair against the wall.
Playing with him, he seemed to be the focus.
Fortunately, he tried his best to lower his head and was drawing his own things, otherwise his every move would really attract attention.
Now, the discussion site has changed its name from the original bird's nest to a discussion of "time".
"Do we have to have a timeline? Time has to be displayed from the inside to the outside... You have to let them understand that our culture is from the Ru Mao drinking blood, the Yanhuang period, a little bit of Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing... Slowly Come here. Yes, we can express our culture through other links, but you have to have a beginning for everything? This beginning, the time that has been endowed with meaning, how do we express it?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
Zhang Yimou said, and everyone listened in silence.
Zhang Yimou asked, and everyone waited for the answer in silence...
Because to be honest, in the general direction, everyone has to admit that some of their ideas are not as good as Zhang Dao.
As the general manager, after the idea he proposed has been confirmed by the team, what he has to do is to realize it.
So, looking around, Zhang Yimou raised his hand high:
"What can represent our time? A sundial! On the venue, let's set up a sundial, and then... what is our symbol? The East! The ancient country of the East! Let a beam of light come from the east! Strong light! Strong light, shine on Go up to the sundial, and the sundial forms the shadow that represents time, slanting... go, go, go..."
The raised hand begins to tilt downward:
"CHUA~~"
Slant down and stab down:
"The reference to the sundial hits the scene with the kind of yellowish...or muddy yellow light that can reflect our profound cultural heritage...Think about it, it's like the thick light revealed by the sky, earth, and sea of clouds at sunrise. The feeling of the yellow earth...then, the opening ceremony officially begins!"
This is Zhang Yimou's idea...
And just when everyone was still thinking and relying on their brains to compose pictures.
A picture has already appeared in Xu Xin's mind.
Although his pen is black, there is no color.
But it doesn't prevent him from sketching the picture in his mind.
Well, according to what Director Zhang said...
Put a sundial on top of the bird's nest...it's a bit unrealistic. Let’s not talk about the force and load, just say that if the thing is not a torch, then the big sundial must have the meaning of overwhelming the host.
not quite right...
What if it is shown with pictures on the big screen?
His pen began to outline along his own thoughts.
In the bottom view of the bird's nest, the area representing the screen outlined the outline of a sundial, after thinking about it, he drew another extension line and gave the label "← rope, fireworks".
Then, the sound of discussion in the ear once again made the meeting room noisy.
"Hoo..."
Among these noises, Xu Xin, who hadn't dared to smoke for a few hours, suppressed the urge to urinate, and flipped through his dozen or so sketch papers...
Um.
No matter how I look at it, I feel that my pictures are very good and vivid.
While checking one by one, Ma Xingmin suddenly looked at the time and said:
"Yimou, it's not an option to go on like this. It's past eleven o'clock. I think...how about we talk about the business and let everyone go back today? Next Monday, we'll meet again. How about ?”
Zhang Yimou was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously looked at his watch, only to realize...it was past 11 o'clock.
I haven't talked about the business yet.
Nod quickly:
"Okay, okay, let me tell you about it."
"Um."
Ma Xingmin nodded, and after everyone's attention was focused on this, he said directly:
"After the screening and scoring by the Olympic Organizing Committee, the preliminary results are also the purpose of calling everyone here today. I just want to tell you that at present, the idea proposed by the Yimou team has the highest score. Therefore, no If there is an accident, the leader will give instructions within ten days. Our hopes are great..."
In an instant, a look of excitement flashed across everyone's faces.
The news...
Even if it is not confirmed yet, it may be that the words from Ma Dao's mouth have already proved the gold content!
Tonight is not in vain!
Just listen to Ma Xingmin continue to say:
"The purpose of calling everyone here today is to tell everyone. If the plan is confirmed, then our future work location will be here, as well as the director's office in Qinglan Building over Dongsishitiao. The office location over there has been prepared .Just wait for the Olympic Organizing Committee to announce and move in. So...everyone take advantage of this time to arrange the work in hand as much as possible, and wait until the announcement...comrades!"
His tone was firm and calm, and suddenly became full of power:
"During this period, we must put all our physical and mental energy into the opening and closing ceremonies. We will strive to show our face, spirit, and demeanor to the people of our country and the people of the world! We will never let the country and the people down Our expectations!"
Following his words, everyone, including Xu Xin, sat up straight subconsciously.
With a solemn face!
In this solemn environment, Ma Xingmin nodded vigorously, his tone full of enthusiasm and firmness:
"Comrades, please remember! The interests of the motherland are above all else!"
Ask for a first order, ask for a monthly ticket! ! New month, rush duck!
