Chapter 684 Crazy Zhang Ran
At 23:54, legendary athlete Xu Haifeng arrived at the bird's nest with the Olympic flame, and the whole scene was completely boiling. The audience waved the glow stick in their hands and decorated the entire scene into a brilliant galaxy. At the same time, they cheered loudly, turning the entire bird's nest into a boiling ocean.
The Olympic flame began to be passed on in April, and was attacked along the way, with constant twists and turns, but in the end, it successfully traveled across five continents, overcame many difficulties, ignited passion, passed on dreams, and came to the Bird's Nest.
The highly anticipated ignition ceremony is about to begin!
Someone once said that if the opening ceremony is successful, the Olympics will be half successful, and if the ignition ceremony is successful, the opening ceremony is half successful. In a sense, the most exciting moment at the entire opening ceremony is the moment when the sacred flame is ignited. After many Olympics, the audience will soon forget the content of the artistic performance, but the ignition ceremony can be remembered by the audience for a long time.
The archery ignition skills in Barcelona in 1992 were shocking; the ignition of Atlanta boxing champion Ali Ali in 1996 was touching; the ignition of the fusion of water and fire in Sydney in 2000 was extremely romantic; these ignition rituals have been talked about. Now it is China's turn, what method will the Chinese use to ignite?
At this moment, the audience was discussing this issue, the hosts of various TV stations were talking about this issue, and countless viewers in front of the TV were talking about this issue.
"What kind of method will Zhang Ran and others use to ignite? Don't let me down!"
"It's good to be able to drill wood to make fire! Otherwise, a dragon will fly directly into the air to ignite the fire!"
"Just kidding, this is a bird's nest. Is it a good idea to ignite a dragon? If you want to come, you should also come to Phoenix!"
At the same time, everyone on the podium stood up, Zhang Ran had already put on the headset and prepared to issue the order. Zhang Ran was responsible for the ignition part, and Li Ning listened directly to his order. At this time, the staff had brought the headset to Li Ning. In order to ensure that Li Ning did not fall off when he was suspended in the air, the staff embedded the headset deeply and glued it with tape.
Zhang Ran took a breath and said calmly: "Li Ning, you must concentrate and ensure that you are not disturbed under any circumstances. You must not light the fire before you get my instructions!"
After the Olympic flame entered the bird's nest, it was passed among the legendary Chinese athletes, one after another, and soon reached the hands of the last igniter Li Ning, and in front of him was a rope hanging from the sky.
Li Ning inserted the torch on a suspension device at his waist, stepped on the fixing device on the rope, and held the rope tightly with both hands and began to climb into the air.
The audience was shocked. The entire rope was hanging from the air, fifty or sixty meters long. Li Ning couldn't climb to such a high sky to ignite the fire, right? How could he climb up at such a high?
mhk host Shinji Tanimura looked at Li Ning who was climbing up the rope hard, and couldn't stop in surprise: "Oh my God, he is really going to climb up. It's going to climb dozens of meters. Is this too high?"
NB host Bob Custer was also stunned: "Crazy Zhang Ran, crazy ignition, crazy Chinese!"
Li Ning has been practicing ignition for more than a month, and the rope is equipped with pulley devices to save a lot of effort, but even so, he is still very tired. After climbing up for more than ten meters, Li Ning had to stop and take a break and continue to climb up. When he reached more than twenty meters, Li Ning paused again and continued to climb up with difficulty...
The ground led turned into a vast galaxy, and the edge of the bowl on the top of the bird's nest also turned into a vast galaxy. With the glow stick in the hands of the audience, the entire bird's nest was like a vast universe; and Li Ning was climbing upwards with a little light in the vast universe, one foot, inch by inch.
Everyone at the scene looked at Li Ning, and hundreds of millions of eyes across the world looked at Li Ning who was climbing hard in the air. They felt a lot of different things from Li Ning.
For many Chinese audiences, they think that the process of Li Ning climbing is simply a symbol of the national spirit, symbolizing the nation step by step out of the abyss; for athletes, Li Ning's climbing is a symbol of the Olympic spirit of "higher, faster, stronger"; for many foreign audiences, Li Ning is the representative of the entire human race, and the process of climbing is a symbol of the entire human exploration spirit...
The audience all stood up and cheered him loudly; countless viewers in front of the TV kept praying, hoping that Li Ning's arms would be stronger and that Li Ning's climb would be smoother!
But just as Li Ning climbed more than 30 meters, something suddenly happened. The rope was loose and the rope slid downwards, and Li Ning suddenly fell downwards!
The entire scene was filled with shocking screams, and screams were heard all over the country and around the world. Even the leaders of the central government were startled and their eyes widened.
Many people only have one idea in their minds, it’s over, it’s over!
The century-old Olympics and a century-old dream, for Chinese audiences, this occasion must not be made mistakes and cannot tolerate any sand. If the ignition fails, then Zhang Ran and Li Ning are both eternal sinners of the Chinese nation!
However, Li Ning did not fall to the ground. The rope stabilized after falling for nearly five meters. Li Ning adjusted his posture in the air and started climbing up again.
Countless audiences breathed a long sigh, and countless people were patting their chests: "Oh my god, I thought Li Ning was really falling down, and I was almost scared to death!"
"Heart disease almost scared! Oh my God, don't have any problems! God bless you, God bless you!"
"I was so scared that I had a stomachache. How could this happen? It's so scary!"
The audience didn't know that this scene was actually arranged by Zhang Ran. When Li Ning climbed to a height of 30 meters, the rope would deliberately loosen and fell five meters to scare the audience. It also wanted to show that the process of human progress and exploration would not be smooth.
When Ma Wen heard the screams of the audience, she couldn't help laughing: "Zhang Ran, you scared the audience. I guess the central leaders were shocked. Will they settle the score with you at that time?"
Zhang Ran had no expression on his face, but his heart was very happy, which was unprecedented. He used a little trick to scare hundreds of millions of people around the world at the same time. Among them, leaders of all countries including Bush of the United States and French President Sarkozy, he believed that when he came to this point, the entire ignition ceremony would be remembered by countless people.
After another brief pause, Li Ning finally climbed to a height of nearly fifty meters. At this time, many viewers had already seen the fuse in the air. Everyone was excited. A tide of cheering sounded like a tide in the whole scene: "Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on Li Ning! Come on Li Ning!"
Li Ning also saw the fuse and climbed up harder. The air on the entire scene was almost frozen in the ups and downs.
After more than ten seconds, Li Ning climbed the long journey of more than fifty meters and finally arrived in front of the fuse. However, he did not forget Zhang Ran's words, he could not ignite the fire before receiving the instructions. He was waiting for Zhang Ran's command.
The audience was a little confused when they saw Li Ning stopping in the air. Not only them, but even the staff on the scene almost stopped breathing. They all thought something was wrong. The staff on the scene knew that the director team had made arrangements. If the athletes could not light the torch, they could automatically fire. Therefore, many staff members shouted: "Old Cai, hurry up! Fire up!" Zhang Heping also shouted: "Let the fire! Lao Cai, hurry up!"
Cai Guoqiang turned his head and looked at Zhang Ran. Seeing that there was nothing abnormal about Zhang Ran, he knew that there was no problem. No matter how others shouted, he insisted on not issuing an order to automatically ignite.
This pause was what Zhang Ran wanted. He thought it was boring to ignite the fire directly. A pause would make everyone feel more expectant. But what he didn't expect was that he just wanted the whole world to wait together, which scared everyone.
After waiting for several seconds, Zhang Ran felt that it was almost done and ordered loudly: "Immediate!"
Li Ning took off the torch and tried hard to ignite the fuse in front of him. A tongue of flame suddenly rushed up, igniting the sky of the entire bird's nest. The sky of the bird's nest ignited a raging flame, as if burning the entire sky. The flames burned extremely fast, rapidly expanding around, and instantly burned a big hole in the sky. Just as the sky was burning, the crisp sound of phoenixes sounded, and countless phoenixes seemed to fly in the flames!
The audience stared at the burning sky in amazement, all frightened; the athletes had excellent psychological quality, and they were also shocked at this moment: "My God, this scene is so spectacular and beautiful!"
At this moment, the audiences around the world in front of the TV and computers all had the same reaction as the more than 90,000 viewers on the scene. They had a big mouth and murmured: "Oh my God, they actually ignited the entire sky. Are you not afraid of fire? This is too crazy!"
In just a few dozen seconds, the flames burned to the edge of the sky, igniting 205 small torches on the top of the bird's nest, 205 flames soared into the sky, and 205 torches symbolized 205 members of the Olympic Committee.
The Peking Olympics are different from many Olympics. They do not have the main torch tower, but at the same time there is the largest torch tower in the world. The entire bird's nest is a huge torch tower burning!
The torch for the Peking Olympics was lit, and the whole scene cheered!
At this moment, the gorgeous fireworks rose into the sky, shining with a rainbow of colors over the stadium. The unrestrained music and the warm cheers were deafening, and the atmosphere on the scene reached the highest level. At the same time, more than 40,000 fireworks were blooming in various places in Peking. From the brightly lit Olympic Village to the quaint Yongding Gate; from the towering Juyongguan Great Wall, to the Tian1 Anmen Square with flowers, the colorful fireworks are like a ribbon under the starry sky, echoing the fireworks above the National Stadium.
It was the first time that Spanish TV host Carlos hosted the Olympics. He excitedly said to the old host next to him: "The opening ceremony of the Olympics is so awesome! It's so good that I can explain it! How was your previous commentary like?"
The other party smiled and said, "You are really here right this time! There is no better Olympic opening ceremony than this!"
Until this moment, Zhang Ran's heart that had been hanging for more than two years was completely relieved. Uncontrollable excitement and joy rippled in his heart. He was stimulated by an electric current and could not help but tremble. He raised his hands and roared hard, and began to accept hugs from all directions.
Zhang Jigang and Chen Weiya were both yelling loudly, without the usual and steady image; Ma Wen, a strong girl, turned into a weak woman at this moment, burst into tears of excitement; and more people were shouting "Success, success" while hugging the people around them.
The hosts in the CCTV live broadcast hall were cheering in trembling voices. At this moment, they had lost the calm that they should have as hosts.
At Zhang Ran’s house, Zhang Jingchu and Zhang Zhimin both stood up and applauded excitedly. Huang Ying picked up the phone, dialed familiar numbers one by one, and began to tell her friends about her inner pride.
At this moment, the whole country was boiling and the whole world was boiling.
This night belongs to Peking and China, and this night is destined to be remembered!
