Chapter 685 Wheel Interview
In front of the big screen of the Jiefangbei Pedestrian Street in the mountain city, nearly 10,000 citizens raised their hands to cheer, applaud, and jumped. The atmosphere was very warm. In front of the big screen of Tianjin Olympic Square, the national flag and the five-ring flag fluttered in the wind, and the applause and cheers were deafening; on Yongxing Island in the South China Sea, soldiers and fishermen gathered together, and the cheers and cheers shattered the tranquility of the night sky...
At the same time, overseas Chinese are also celebrating warmly. The lion dance team in Manhattan, New York, walked at the forefront of the parade, with gongs and drums and red flags waving; the Magalinho Stadium in Madrid was filled with festive atmosphere, laughter and red flags waving; the confetti were flying in the venue in Prato, Italy, and everyone raised their glasses to celebrate, wishing the success of the Peking Olympics; on the Seine River, hundreds of representatives of overseas Chinese boarded the Paris Zoaf cruise ship, singing and laughing on the Seine River...
On the Internet, Chinese netizens and many Chinese and overseas Chinese are celebrating the success of the opening ceremony, and various websites and forums are sweeping the screens wildly.
"Historical moments, leave a name! I am so excited! Come on, China! I am really excited and excited to witness the moment when my motherland declares its strength to the world when she was still young. I am so satisfied!"
"The whole opening ceremony was really great. It attracted attention from beginning to end, and there were constant surprises. The point of the torch was so handsome. I suddenly burst into tears when I recalled the various things I encountered in China from the first day of the torch to today!"
"When I was moved to tears when I watched the show, China is trying hard to show its image to the whole world, and China is welcoming everyone with a sincere heart. I am proud of being a Chinese! Come on, come on, Beijing Olympics!"
Zhang Ran’s Weibo and L account added tens of thousands of replies in less than half an hour, including Zhang Ran’s friends at home and abroad, as well as many celebrities he didn’t know, but the most common audience was so excited that he could not suppress his excitement after watching the show.
"Thank you Director Zhang Ran! When the torch is rising, when the huge painting created by all athletes with their footprints rises high, the opening ceremony of Peking is perfectly presented to the world with an extremely stunning posture, what will your mood be like? Finally, you can relieve all the pressure with confidence, right? Thank you for your hard work, director!"
"The opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics is extremely exciting, magnificent and exciting, allowing the world to witness the wisdom and creativity of the Chinese people together. The dream of symbolizing the century-old rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has been realized and the rise of China on the world stage. As an overseas Chinese, I feel deeply proud! Zhang Ran, thank you!"
"Mr. Zhang Ran, you have brought unforgettable touch to the people of the world with your unlimited imagination and directing talent at the opening ceremony. I would like to express your gratitude for showing the outstanding Asian transformation to the people of the world. At the same time, I am looking forward to the closing ceremony. I hope you will not take care of your health in the long and arduous creative process."
Of course, not everyone will be happy about the success of the opening ceremony of the Peking Olympics. For example, Spielberg, Miafaro, and many guys who are full of malicious intentions towards China and hope that the Peking Olympics will be screwed up. At this moment, they are undoubtedly very depressed.
The people from the London Olympic Organizing Committee were also very depressed. At this moment, the bird's nest was hot, but they were in the bird's nest but their hearts were cold inside, and everyone looked frowning.
London Olympic Committee Chairman Sebastian Co. sighed deeply: "It's so strong. Compared with the opening ceremony in Peking, all the opening ceremony in the past have become rags. How can we do to achieve this level?"
Bill Morris is the director of London Minutes. He was originally very confident in his London Minutes and felt that the show was very creative, but at this moment he felt that his show was simply a bunch of garbage and wanted to cancel the show. He said dejectedly: "I don't know, maybe we can take a different path and take a completely different path from Peking, but the director who can do this is not me. Lord, after the closing ceremony of London Minutes, I will resign from the position of director. You can find another director!"
Bastian knew very well Bill Morris' level. It was impossible to show an opening ceremony that could be comparable to Peking. Peking raised the level of the opening ceremony too high. If London could not produce the corresponding opening ceremony, it would be ruthlessly ridiculed by the whole world. The British Empire could not afford this person: "Do you have any suitable candidate?"
Bill Morris smiled bitterly and shook his head: "There is no such candidate, at least there is no in the UK. Maybe Peter Jackson and Cameron can do it, but they will definitely not accept it. Maybe we can talk to Zhang Ran to see if he is willing to lead it again!"
Bastian was stunned and nodded immediately. This was a solution!
At the same time, Zhang Ran and three other directors came to the main news center, where there was a press conference waiting for them. However, the moment they walked into the main news center, warm applause and cheers rang out throughout the scene.
The reporters present, whether they were from China or from foreign countries, all stood up and applauded. The entire opening ceremony was so shocking. Until this moment, their hearts were still full of passion, and they could only express their respect with applause.
After the routine group visit, it was time to ask questions freely. Director Zhang Ran, the chief director, is undoubtedly the most audience for the reporters. They seemed extremely enthusiastic, and the questions were thrown at him like a cannon. The other three directors were relatively relaxed.
Not only the audience, but also the reporters were shocked, and everyone was very curious about this. A French reporter asked: "Li Ning's climbing domestically made me feel profound and had a beautiful impact. Climbing represents competition, progress, and struggle. I especially like it. However, there was a drop in Li Ning's climbing process, which made all the audience sweat. I want to ask Director Zhang Ran, is there really something wrong, or is it arranged like this on purpose?"
Zhang Ran laughed proudly: "It was arranged on purpose, I wanted to scare everyone, so that the ignition process is full of suspense and ups and downs! I was most worried about the entire opening ceremony tonight, one is whether it will rain, and the other is the ignition ceremony. Fortunately, everything went very smoothly. What we were most worried about in the ignition ceremony was that the torch would fall. If the torch fell, there would be no chance of any remedy. So, we had steel wire for the torch, but this steel wire was much thinner than that of Li Ning, and it was difficult for the audience to see with the naked eye."
A Reuters reporter asked: "Today's opening ceremony performance was very exciting, and it may be the most exciting opening ceremony performance. What I want to ask director Zhang Ran is, what is your biggest regret in the entire opening ceremony?"
Zhang Ran thought for a while and said, "Actually, it's a lot of regrets. For example, it's too late to hand over the bird's nest to my hands. We only entered the bird's nest for rehearsals in the month issue. If we could be two months in advance, we could do better. But the biggest regret should be that the funding is too small. Many people think that our funding is unlimited, and spend whatever we want, and let whoever we want. In fact, this is not the case. The Olympics opening and closing ceremonies and the Paralympics opening and closing ceremonies, the total budget approved for us is only 100 million yuan. At the beginning of this year, the money was really not enough, so I reported to the central government and added 100 million yuan. There are two ideas that I especially like, and everyone likes them very much, but I feel very sorry because of the funding issue, I finally gave up!"
In the opening and closing ceremony of the Peking Olympics and the opening and closing ceremony of the Paralympics, the cost of the four ceremonies was 100 million yuan, which was almost the same as London, but when the London Olympics was a joke, the cost of the opening ceremony of the Peking Olympics became twice that of London. Then these people took this opportunity, a large number of Chinese people loved face and cursed Peking for being swollen and fat, and did not feel sorry for spending taxpayers' money.
With this lesson, Zhang Ran directly threw out the cost of the opening ceremony first. I see how you will spread rumors then!
A reporter immediately asked: "Congratulations on your successful opening ceremony. I want to ask, which program is the most expensive? How many points will you give to the opening ceremony team?"
Zhang Ran thought about it for a moment and said, "It should be a song of the siege. The song is relatively expensive, and it has more than 2,000 sides. The cost of the siege alone exceeds 10,000 yuan. In addition to the expenses of the actors, more actors train for half a year. Each person is not much fifty yuan a day, a few bottles of water, a box of lunch, and a cold drink, which is 100,000 yuan a day, and there are various other expenses. The cost of the whole program is nearly 10,000 yuan, but I think it is worth it. Song of the siege will become a classic and will exist in people's memory for many years! Score the opening ceremony team, score, and deduct one point. I am afraid that everyone will be proud!"
The Chinese journalists present burst into laughter when they heard this.
A reporter from the Associated Press asked: Which director who is responsible for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games is more tiring than making movies?
Zhang Ran thought that this was nonsense, so he still had to ask? He smiled and said: Of course, it was the opening ceremony. The filming was more about the personal creation of a director. If it was filmed, it would be filmed again. As long as my next film was filmed, it would be able to rise again. But the opening ceremony could not be like this. It could only succeed, not fail. Physical fatigue during the preparation and production of the opening ceremony was nothing, mainly due to inner torture. Sometimes people were almost collapsed! But there was no way, so I could only bear it and gritted my teeth and walked forward. Fortunately, we carried it down!"
A reporter from Asahi Shimbun asked: "We all know that as a director, we are under great pressure. Have you ever thought about failure in the middle?
Zhang Ran smiled and said, "You may not know that I have contacted the plastic surgery hospital. If I fail, I will go for plastic surgery and go to exile overseas!" Zhang Ran saw that the reporters at the scene looked at him in a daze and laughed: "Just kidding! I have never thought about this problem and dare not think about it. If I think about this problem, I really can't do it! But when I was joking with everyone, I said that if I finished the boo, I would not be able to leave the door at all. At that time, I could only go to the British Islands and spend the rest of my life there. The people really can't accept that you will embarrass everyone tonight. We have completed the task successfully and have an explanation for everyone. I can also make a movie with peace of mind!"
A reporter immediately asked: "Have you planned the new film? What type and when will it be turned on?"
Zhang Ran blinked and said, "Keep it confidential for the time being, you will find out soon. Today I will only talk about the Olympics, not the others!"
After the interview at the main news center, Zhang Ran did not get a chance to rest. There were a series of interviews and TV shows waiting for him. Although he was already very tired, he still had to cheer up and accept the interview. However, what made Zhang Ran depressed was that everyone asked the same questions, and Zhang Ran had to repeat the same answer over and over again.
This wheel-style interview did not end until six in the morning, and he felt his brain hurt. In his opinion, it was even harder than the opening ceremony rehearsal. It was really too tiring, and it was completely a kind of mental torture.
When Zhang Ran returned home, it was already in the morning. He fell on the bed while not forgetting to remind Zhang Jingchu: "Wife, call me at 10 o'clock, and someone will open at 10 o'clock!". (.)
