Today is the first meeting of the team. Zhang Ran didn't want to make the atmosphere too stiff and simply responded: "My idea is similar to director Yimou. We need to find the symbol against Athens water, but this symbol is difficult to find. The plan we leaked was to use Ming Great Wall as the corresponding symbol. The later plan was to use Tai Chi as the corresponding element, but there were problems with the pinching, and I always felt that I couldn't win Athens. As for turning the entire opening ceremony into a performance art, this is very good, and I have the same idea."

Those who are not convinced by Zhang Ran think that Zhang Ran is even more accustomed to him when he hears this. Zhang Yimou says he wants to find a symbol of fighting against water. You also say he wants to find a symbol of fighting against water. Zhang Yimou says he wants to make the opening ceremony into performance art, and you also say he wants to make it into performance art. This is shameless!

Chen Weiya's smile on her face became even brighter: "Since you also think you can turn the opening ceremony into performance art, you should have some ideas and talk about your creativity!"

Zhang Ran frowned and said, "I have a little vague idea now, but I haven't thought it through clearly yet. It's a mess. I'll talk about it after I think about it!"

Chen Weiya refused to let Zhang Ran go and immediately said, "It's okay to have a little confused idea. If your idea is good, everyone can help you improve it. We became the director team and hope to brainstorm and exert the power of the collective. You won't look down on us, think we are not enough to give you an idea, right?"

People from Chen Weiya's team all said: "Tell me, you have to believe in the power of the collective!"

"Isn't I really looking down on us?"

"Yes, let's talk!"

Seeing that everyone in Chen Weiya's team was running Zhang Ran, Han Lixun frowned and said, "Zhang Ran, say it, otherwise they really think you are a person who seeks fame!" He knew that Zhang Ran was not a big talker. Since he said he had vague ideas, he must have ideas.

Zhang Ran was very upset about Chen Weiya's repeated provocations. Chen Weiya even said something that looked down on everyone. If he did not respond, everyone present would probably have any opinions and said coldly: "Before formally speaking, let me say a few off-topic words. I know that many people present think I am too young and have no experience in directing large-scale evening parties, and they are not convinced by me. I don't ask everyone to believe me, nor do you ask everyone to convince me, but I just hope that everyone is not right to others. The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games is not a personal matter. I sincerely hope that everyone will unite and do this well!" Zhang Ran got up and walked to the wall, reached out to pat on the wall: "I hope everyone will not regard this sentence as a decoration!"

There is a slogan on the wall that the interests of the motherland are above everything else!

Originally, Zhang Jigang was gloating and waiting to see Zhang Ran’s joke, but these words hit his heart, making him feel hot and his breathing blocked. He is not wrong with being an artist, but he is also a soldier. For soldiers, the dignity of the motherland is always above everything else, and the interests of the people are always above everything!

As Zhang Ran said, the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games is not a personal matter, and it should be united, but because of personal honor and disgrace, I thought of making things difficult for director Zhang Ran, which is really a bit sorry for this military uniform.

Cai Guoqiang and Ma Wen both nodded slightly. They paid out of their own pockets, ate in Peking, lived in Peking, and spent all the air tickets from New York to Peking. The Olympics are the expectations of generations of Chinese people. Like other ordinary Chinese, they are eager to let the whole world know China well, hoping to present a perfect performance to the world.

Zhang Ran looked at Chen Weiya with disdain and said lightly: "Now my creativity, my idea is not yet mature. It was what I thought of when I was watching Mr. Cai Guoqiang bidding for the plan a few days ago. There is a creative idea in the plan called footprints in the sky. From Tian1 An 1 gate to the bird's nest, a big footprint is drawn every 150 meters. This footprint gave me inspiration and felt that we could use footprints to make a performance art of walking. I thought this way, the footprints of fireworks should be large, preferably 300 meters long, and there should not be too many footprints, only 29. Along the central axis of Peking, 29 big footprints were drawn from Yongding Gate to the bird's nest, representing the 29th Olympic Games step by step into Peiping, and also representing the ancient China approaching the Olympic Games.

On the bird's nest, lay a 12-meter-wide and 18-meter-long fake track. This fake track is as wide as a real track. When athletes enter the field, they will pass through the fake track, and there is a paint pad in front of the fake track. After the athlete steps on the fake track, they will leave footprints. At the other end of the track is a cleaning pad, which will remove the pigment under the athlete's feet.

After the athletes walk, more than 10,000 footprints from athletes from all over the world will be left on the fake track. This is a work completed by athletes from all over the world. Then we gently pull up the fake track and turn it into a holy Olympic forum surrounded by the national flags of countries around the world. The leaders' speeches, athletes' oaths and other ceremonies will be held here.

The entire opening ceremony began with footprints and ended with footprints, forming a response, leaving footprints by athletes from 204 countries around the world. This is the largest performance art in the world. This is what I think, and everyone laughs!”

The entire conference room was silent, and everyone present was shocked by Zhang Ran's thoughts. It was really not bragging. He really took out a behavior that ran through the audience, and this behavior was extremely feasible and full of rich connotations.

Han Lixun looked at Chen Weiya who was stunned and wanted to laugh out loud, but she tried her best to hold it back. How about it? She slapped her in the face! She actually suspected Zhang Ran's strength, which was ridiculous!

Zhang Yimou was stunned for two seconds and slapped the table: "It's interesting, this idea is so interesting! It's the first time in the history of the Olympics to make the opening ceremony a performance art. I think its significance is far greater than that of literary and artistic performances and the purpose of a country to show its own culture. This is the connotation of Chinese culture, our true broad and broad connotation."

Cai Guoqiang was extremely impressed by Zhang Ran’s creativity: “The movements around the world are walking together and leaving footprints, which contains the rich connotation of all mankind working hand in hand to build a home together. It is the most true embodiment of the concept of ‘the same world, the same dream’.”

Ma Wen also looked at Zhang Ran with admiration. The creativity of "footprints in the sky" can actually trigger so many associations of Zhang Ran. This is from point to surface, typical fan-shaped thinking, which is really amazing! She suggested: "This creativity is great, I think we can ask us to go together!"

Zhang Jigang was very surprised. After reading Zhang Ran’s bid plan a few days ago, he felt that this person had two tricks. Now it seems that he still underestimated Zhang Ran. He is even more powerful than he imagined. The position of the general director is really not in vain, it has real materials.

"It's a good name for us to go together, just call it this name!" Zhang Ran smiled at Ma Wen, then looked at Chen Weiya and said lightly, "Weiya, what do you think?"

Chen Weiya also knew that this creativity was very powerful, but he could not admit it. If he admitted it, it would be like slapping himself in the face. But he could not insist on it in front of so many people, and this would be looked down upon by others. However, no creativity could be perfect and could be found out: "Your creativity has not been completely separated from literary and artistic performances, and has not formed an organic whole. What we want is a creativity that has been throughout the whole, connecting everything from the beginning to the end."

Zhang Ran smiled and nodded: "The reason why I am not mature is that if all the actors can join, the whole performance will be connected with the entire footprint behavior and become a whole, but I haven't considered how to deal with it yet, so everyone will laugh. Wiya, you are the deputy director of the National Song and Dance Troupe and directed many large-scale evening parties. No matter what aspect, they will definitely be better than me. I believe you have a better idea, and I am looking forward to it!"

Zhang Ran did not throw out the creativity of the scroll. It was too easy to get things and often would not cherish them. This is a common problem for people. If the creativity of the scroll is now thrown out, everyone will start to find fault in two days, and it will not be possible to see it no matter how you look at it. Zhang Ran remembers that the creativity of the scroll in his previous life was very early. Both the leader and Zhang Yimou thought it was very good, but the creativity was rejected not long after. It was not until the plan submitted by Zhang Yimou and the others to the central government was rejected by the Standing Committee and needed to think of the plan again, and the scroll was picked up at this time.

Therefore, Zhang Ran felt that it would be a headache for everyone to fight against Athens for a while. When everyone really couldn't think of a move, he would throw it out himself, so that everyone would cherish it.

Of course, Chen Weiya repeatedly provoked him, and Zhang Ran must fight back, otherwise the others would really think they would be easy to bully.

Chen Weiya's face turned green. He never thought about how to make the opening ceremony a performance art, so how could he come up with better creativity?

Everyone present was shocked, thinking that Zhang Ran is not easy to mess with, Chen Weiya is going to make a fool of herself this time!

Chen Weiya felt that Zhang Ran could not come up with a better idea than Zhang Yimou, but he didn't expect Zhang Ran to really take it out. Now Zhang Ran asked Chen Weiya to come up with the same excellent idea. If he couldn't come up with it, he would become a laughing stock in everyone's eyes.

Zhang Jigang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He was dissatisfied with Zhang Ran. When Zhang Ran shirked, he wanted to sarcastically say something, but fortunately he held it back. Now it seems that he has escaped, otherwise he would have made a fool of himself with Chen Weiya.

When Zhang Yimou saw Chen Weiya's face turned black, he knew that he would definitely not be able to come up with such creativity. From "Turandot" ten years ago to the Olympic bid, to Athens for eight minutes, Chen Weiya has always been his assistant. He didn't want Chen Weiya to be too embarrassed, and he felt that everyone was in the same team, so there was no need to be too stiff, so he said, "You two are adults, why are you fighting like children?" The topic changed: "I add that I think the overall style of the opening ceremony should be romantic and dreamy. Because a nation is confident, it will be dreamy and romantic. We think that the feeling that gives people is always serious, restrained and depressed. I think the dreamy and romantic style is of great benefit to the improvement of the national image."

Zhang Ran did not continue to be entangled with Chen Weiya. He joined the Olympic team, just like everyone else, and hoped that the opening ceremony would be better. He nodded slightly and said, "I agree. In addition, I think the entire performance should be combined with multimedia technology, or even projection technology, so that we can get rid of the traditional stage and team gymnastics mode."

The dispute came to an end and the meeting continued. Zhang Ran occasionally put forward his own opinions and suggestions.

At twelve o'clock noon, everyone had a working meal and then returned to the conference room to continue the discussion. The discussion ended until 6 pm. Because the director team started working and was still in the running-in period, they did not work until twelve pm as soon as they came.

In the next few days, the director team focused on this topic together and put forward a lot of ideas and creativity, but no creativity could survive for three days. This often happens. Everyone is particularly excited about an idea tonight and is as excited as a madman, but when the next day, everyone rejected it.

On April 26, the entire team flew to Hengdian. Zhang Yimou's "Golden Armor" was about to start filming part of Hengdian. He could not let go and ignore it, so everyone could only go together. (To be continued.)
Chapter completed!
