According to the disclosure, the leaders' requirements for the opening ceremony are "wonderful and novel, with national characteristics, characteristics of the times and world vision", and Zhang Yimou himself said that the lighting ceremony will definitely achieve "harmony between man and nature".
Let's talk about the ignition ceremony first. A few days ago, I ran to the Bird's Nest site, got in and turned for more than an hour, and found a big trouble. The workers at the construction site pointed out to me that the torch platform is not in the Bird's Nest, but in the northwest of the Bird's Nest, more than 100 meters away, which is under construction and has taken shape.
Many people are giving advice to Zhang Yimou, including the following: 1. Send electromagnetic waves back to the ground with Chang 'e-1 and ignite them. The biggest problem with this method is that "Chang 'e" is not easy to control, and it is difficult to say where August 8 is; 2. Train a pigeon and throw it into the torch platform with a fire in its mouth. The problem is also great. Roasted pigeon is a good dish, but there are too many people at the scene to distribute it. What's more, 1988 roasted several pigeons at the Seoul Olympic Games, which had a bad reputation. 3. Light it with Erguotou. Theoretically, there are three kinds of Erguotou in Beijing, 45 degrees, 56 degrees and 60 degrees, all of which can be ordered, but they are too characteristic of Beijing. You know, this Olympic Games is a national project, which is related to the national image, whether it is Beijing or China. People outside Beijing will have a problem with you doing this. 4. ignite with a swing. This idea is very creative. As the opening ceremony is held in the Bird's Nest, if one or several birdmen come out and fly around to complement each other, I'm afraid there will be security problems. Let's just say it's fine when it rains. According to the usual experience, dry ice can be used the night before. In case of wind, Birdman will be blown into the water cube not far away, so he should not be good at dealing with water. ...
The lighting ceremony where the torch platform and the stadium are not in the same place has been held before. The design of the 2006 Doha Asian Games is the best. They used the concave mirror effect of the big screen to light the opposite torch. Zhang Yimou should be able to come up with a similar method. He is familiar with convex mirrors and concave mirror, but it's a pity that Qataris have used them. A person who has participated in the design of the Bird's Nest said, "The ignition method for the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games has been planned, and it will be a way of spraying fire." This is impossible (BOCOG denies this, calling it just a "guess"). This method was used in the Ninth National Games. Zhang Yimou is a person who doesn't want to repeat others. He just repeats himself at best. For example, in the movie "House of Flying Daggers", he let Zhang Ziyi's little sister die, died again, died again, and finally died.
No matter how you guess, you won't be right in the end. With Zhang Yimou's cleverness, it is impossible to prepare only one plan. As long as you guess right, he will start the replacement plan. However, everything remains the same. The fire that lit the torch must have flown from the bird's nest, not fallen from the sky. When people lit a fire, the fire flew into the sky again, which formally satisfied Zhang Yimou's thought of "harmony between man and nature".
There's another way. I noticed that between the bird's nest and the torch platform, the ground was empty. The simplest way to ignite is to pull a pipe under the ground to lead the fire to the torch platform. This method has the advantages of simplicity and convenience, and it is also in line with Lu Xun's famous saying: "The fire is running and spraying; Once the lava is ejected, it will burn all the weeds and trees, so it will not rot. " Burning all the bad ones is very harmonious and meets an official requirement, "the characteristics of the times." But the disadvantage of this method is also obvious-it is not good-looking. Can not meet the leadership requirements of "wonderful and novel".
It is not easy to achieve "harmony" and "wonderful novelty" What is harmony? Some people say that "harmony" is "he+mouth" and "harmony" is "speech+completeness", and the two are connected. How can it be harmonious? In the words of Ren, the late former secretary of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee, "everyone speaks and everyone has food".
How would Zhang Yimou understand "harmony"? I don't know him, I don't know his thoughts, I can only analyze them from his works.
Zhang Yimou's early film Red Sorghum is a day related to youth, which exudes individuality from the inside out and is different from others. "The Story of Qiu Ju", including "The Old Well" in which he participated as an actor, the protagonists are very stubborn and don't look back, although thousands of people have gone; "Being alive" is profound, introverted and introspective, with national burden, responsibility and compassion; "No Child Left Behind" is an illustrated policy, but Wei Minzhi, the protagonist, vaguely has the shadow of Qiu Ju and Sun Wangquan. In Hero, Zhang Yimou was thoroughly remoulded and lost his personality. The "world" is hidden in its heart, and the monarch Zhang Zhizhi makes all the people invisible; And "Golden Flower in the City" is the masterpiece of his later works, which has the perfect formal beauty in Zhang Yimou's eyes, with a large number, uniformity, grand scenes and reasonable color matching, and the designer is worthy of being a photographer. Therefore, it is speculated that Zhang Yimou's understanding of "harmony" after Living should be so orderly. Then, at the opening ceremony, it is easy to think of a way that meets the requirements of the "characteristics of the times." Workers, farmers, business students, east and west, north and south, young and old, young and young women meet in the light and shadow, work together and rush together. Pull a few calligraphers and designers, and write four big characters with giant brushes or special effects, "Harmonious World". The Doha Asian Games, when the next host city, Guangzhou, appeared, wrote "Harmonious Asia" to make a point.
Zhang Yimou is a native of Shaanxi, which has two characteristics, one is the Terracotta Warriors and the other is the Shaanxi Opera. In the movie "The Battle of Ancient and Modern Qin Fighters", Zhang Yimou simply played the A Qin fighter who died first and defeated the submachine gun with cold weapons. At that time, Chinese civilization was full of vitality, which created Zhang Yimou's Qin fighter complex. Therefore, in order to meet the requirements of "national characteristics", Terracotta Warriors and Horses are indispensable. They are not only from Shaanxi, but also from China and even the world. Understand this, even the requirements of "world vision" will be completed. Of course, it is a bit far-fetched to say that the vision of Terracotta Warriors and Horses is the vision of the world, but if we find 3,000 soldiers dressed as Terracotta Warriors and Horses, and young people from all over the world-they can dress up as Spider-Man, Astro Boy, Niels and Smurfs ... drumming African drums, dancing samba, wearing cowboy hats, holding hands with two kangaroos, Terracotta Warriors and Horses are singing praises of prosperity, and cartoon characters are singing hot songs. Let Confucius, as suggested by Mr. Ji Xianlin, be released, or simply lift Mr. Ji Xianlin himself out, shake hands and shout "Long live the people" and "Peace in the world", and China and the world will be one and happy.
