I'm a Director, I'm Not Bad Chapter 210

Chapter 210 208. Shocking Dragon (Thousand words!)

(Written in the front: This chapter only has the opening ceremony, and there will be no content about the appearance of some important figures in the front, so the timeline is also in accordance with the direct opening of the Olympic Games.)

August 8th, at 6:00 p.m.

all.

The countdown to the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games is 1 hour and 56 minutes.

Outside the bird's nest, there were more than 20 commercial vehicles, and many people got off.

Xu Daqiang looked up.

Many people may not believe it, but this is the first time he has come to the bird's nest so close.

If normally, the relatives and friends of the seven aunts and eight aunts are all around, he may say something like "ah, it looks too big".

But today, he didn't say a word.

Even Li Hao, who has been with Xu Daqiang for ten years, has already discovered... At this moment, the muscles of the uncle's face have turned into a rigidity.

Not only him.

I am almost the same.

The same goes for everyone else.

This group of bosses, who know that they have a lot of money in their pockets just by looking at the watches on their wrists, have different expressions on their faces at this moment.

But only one thing is the same.

nervous.

very nervous.

Even as a viewer...they just have to watch today.

But... a group of people who have always been loud, from getting out of the car to following the signs and walking in with the audience, no one spoke.

Whether men, women, young or old.

Just took the ticket and walked in silently.

Then, in the last car, Yang Mi, who was very low-key, got out of the car with her parents, and Wang Sicong, who was back for the summer vacation, followed the crowd, wearing a hat and sunglasses.

These people did not speak.

It was just that Wang Sicong was fiddling with his mobile phone, and when he was about to reach the security check, he whispered to Yang Mi:

"Switch said that he will wait until there are fewer people."

Yang Mi nodded, and continued walking with her parents.

soon. After the security check, the people who were assigned to the side next to the director's station began to walk to the top through the audience channel.

Then when she walked to the director's station, Yang Mi immediately saw her boyfriend sitting on the edge of the director's station.

Hot weather.

It's really hot and humid today.

Everyone said it would rain today, but the rain didn't come for a whole day.

And the boyfriend was sitting there, didn't realize that he was waiting for someone to come, just lowered his head, not knowing what he was doing...

After thinking about it, she continued to move forward.

The seat tickets for the director station cannot be bought outside, and they are all box tickets.

There are boxes inside, with sofas, seats, air conditioners and the like. And when the door of the box was opened, there were viewing seats outside.

The location they are going to go to today is the box location.

All the way up.

Before reaching the last step inspected by special security personnel, Yang Mi, like everyone else, handed out a ticket with a different color from the ordinary ticket. After the inspection, she finally stepped onto the viewing area on the highest ring of the Bird's Nest. .

It can be seen that the audience who have arrived, or are sitting in the room, or leaning on the railing and watching outside, are either rich or expensive.

But Yang Mi didn't have the slightest thought.

Just walked all the way to the box next to the director's station.

And when they got to the position, someone in front immediately shouted:

"Sanjin…"

But as soon as the words came out, the young man named Xu Xin was slapped on the back of the head by the middle-aged man behind him.

"What a quarrel! Don't disturb Sanjin!"

That is Xu Yang.

Fa Xiao who has the best relationship with Xu Xin.

Although this move was beaten, Yang Mi especially hoped that her boyfriend would find her coming right now.

But it happens...

Xu Xin still lowered his head.

Didn't seem to hear at all.

Let's not talk about Yang Mi now, even Xu Daqiang and Xu Miao showed worried expressions in their eyes.

Especially Xu Daqiang, when he saw his son's tanned and thin face, no one could know what he felt except himself.

Just like that, everyone came to the box next to the director's station.

Through the glass, everyone could clearly see Xu Xin, who was sitting on the edge, shaking his legs.

proves that he is awake.

But he never realized that he was waiting for someone to arrive.

At this time, Xu Xin's seventh uncle Xu Dawei, who was sitting in the box, said to Xu Daqiang:

"Brother, do you want to ask Sanjin if he has eaten... Seeing that his face is not very good..."

"What's the matter."

Xu Daqiang waved his hand.

"What? Don't ask, don't shout, he's busy."

And maybe it's because I was stared at for too long...

Xu Xin suddenly turned his head.

At a glance, I saw all the family members coming.

He froze for a moment, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, he stood up, pushed aside the fence and was about to come over.

But Xu Daqiang waved his hand.

Xu Xin paused.

There was no verbal communication between the father and son through the glass.

But after Xu Daqiang waved his hand, Xu Xin looked at his girlfriend.

Finally nodded, closed the enclosure door again, and turned around.

August 8th, at 19:30.

All the Olympic volunteers who drove the atmosphere of the auditorium have already taken their seats.

The director team also got the latest weather forecast.

In the next four hours, there will still be precipitation.

And the air humidity... is still 50%.

The days are getting hotter and hotter.

To rain, or not to rain.

This decision still falls in the hands of God.

The current director team has done everything they can do.

so that…

During this time, everyone didn't know what to do.

Obviously want to be busy...

But after everything was prepared, as the chief director team, any words or deeds of them could only bring pressure to the sub-directors and actors.

And, as each sub-director's section reports the news of its arrival...

Everyone... seems to have nothing to do.

Nothing to do, just wait.

Someone is drinking tea.

Someone is in a daze.

Those who are more ambitious, such as Sha Xiaofeng, who is eating apples there.

For example, Xu Xin...

Xu Xin has been sitting dryly all afternoon.

Didn't eat dinner.

Can't eat anything either.

I want to smoke right now...

So, he got up and turned back to the director's office.

Lighted a cigarette.

People who don't smoke don't understand this feeling.

But this cigarette did more or less settle down his heart, which was so tense that he could hardly think.

"Hoo..."

Throwing the cigarette **** into the trash can filled with water, Xu Xin, who had cleared all his thoughts in the time of one cigarette, walked out.

Without knowing when, his family, relatives, and friends also appeared on the viewing platform.

After seeing him come out, everyone's eyes turned to him.

But no one spoke.

Xu Xin didn't say anything, just smiled and said hello. Standing in front of the railing closest to Yang Mi, he picked up the walkie-talkie:

"All the logistics team, check again that the actor's passage is unobstructed and unobstructed."

"Logistics team received."

After a while, a voice rang through the intercom:

"The inspection is complete, and the whole line is smooth."

"Received by the broadcasting station. Sister Wei, are the children of the earthquake on standby? Has the delegation from Gate 1 notified you?"

"The announcement is over, and the gatekeeper and I are with the child."

"Okay, check again that the child's clothes can't show any trademarks, holding two small flags."

"Confirmed."

"Okay, stunt team, have all the mounds been moved to the south end?"

"Implemented."

"Ignition password, ignition password for the broadcasting station, three, two, one, ignition. Did the No. 1 headset receive it?"

"Commitment received."

"When the fuse is lit, whether the two plans are implemented."

"Implemented."

"Each sub-director, make sure that the headsets of the actors communicate smoothly, and the channels are not crossed."

A moment.

"Confirmed."

Confirmation commands are issued one after another.

As the general manager, Xu Xin is in charge of all the big, small, thick, and fine details of the opening ceremony, and Xu Xin, who is comprehensive in all divisions of labor, is holding the walkie-talkie and the general headset of the director's station, like a sophisticated and An efficient machine, issued all instructions in an orderly manner.

After being confirmed one by one, he took off the headset.

Under the surprised eyes of Yang Mi, Zhou Jielun, Wang Sicong and everyone else, he nodded hoarsely to Zhang Yimou and Zhang Wu:

"Director, everything has been confirmed."

Zhang Wu said nothing.

As the general director of the first half and the sub-director of the second half, he had already started sorting out the work flow when Xu Xin confirmed the instructions of each department.

Zhang Yimou sat next to him, and made the same movement with Tian Heping.

The two of them glanced at the time on their watches.

19:36.

After reading the time, Zhang Yimou said to Zhang Wu:

"Actors begin to play."

Zhang Wu nodded and controlled the signal station in front of him. After turning on the control signal, he issued the first command:

""Singing at the Pou", the props and actors began to enter the stage. The signals of each broadcast station started testing."

"CCTV No. 1, the picture is normal, the sound is normal, and the signal performance is normal."

"No. 2, the picture is normal, the sound is normal, and the signal performance is normal."

"No. 3, the picture is normal..."

"Number Four..."

"Number five..."

"Aerial photography group, the picture is normal. The sound is off, the remote control signal is normal..."

Accompanied by the actors of "Strike the Pou and Sing" entered the stage and began to place props, the audience subconsciously cheered when they thought it was about to start:

"oh!!!"

2008 The noodle pots were pushed up from both sides and placed neatly.

The lights of the main stadium are turned off.

Time: 19:47.

It's time to start.

On the side of the director's station, there was complete silence.

The people who did not follow the cheers of the crowd subconsciously looked at Xu Xin again.

But Xu Xin had already put on the earphones, and connected the line of the walkie-talkie to the earphones.

When Zhang Wu began to confirm the director information, he was holding a telescope, looking at the staff waiting on the bird's nest, and began to prepare for the confirmation of the opening fireworks.

Time: 19:50.

After the pyrotechnic feedback signal was normal, the people behind brought the latest weather report panting.

Xu Xin walked up to Zhang Yimou after taking a look:

"Director Zhang, the humidity is still 50."

"...Well. Everything is going according to the normal process."

"good."

Xu Xin issued orders with his earphones on.

Time: 19:52.

After issuing the order, his last work before starting, is over.

The arrow is about to be sent out.

Although there are still too many uncertainties.

But Xu Xin seemed to be less nervous...

Or…

His current mentality is to stretch out his head, and to shrink his head is also a stab.

If it's true...it's going to rain, the girl is going to get married...

That can only let it go.

Thinking of this, he looked up at the dark night sky where no stars could be seen, and suddenly muttered:

"Man proposes, God disposes."

After finishing speaking, he walked to the edge of the railing.

Yang Mi, who had been paying attention to his movements, immediately raised her head.

And others also looked over.

Including Jay Chou who didn't know how to appear on the seat.

After everyone looked at him, Xu Xin suddenly grinned his white teeth and laughed at all of them:

"hey-hey."

Actually, when Xu Xin was busy, these people were also extremely nervous.

Although they don't know what they are nervous about.

But looking at the director station as if he was facing an enemy, unconsciously, his heartbeat began to speed up.

But now being overwhelmed by his smile...

Another doubt of "what are we nervous about?" emerged.

Amidst such doubts, Xu Xin said to all the family members present today:

"Don't worry, watch us perform!"

After speaking, his smile became brighter and brighter.

After waving at the big guy, he stood up straight again.

Did not wait for the family members to respond.

He has entered the working state.

Time: 19:53.

The program "Singing the Pou" is divided into two sections.

There is a 1-minute countdown time in the middle.

That is, a 1-minute countdown from 20:07:08.

And before the countdown started, the performance time of 4 minutes and 20 seconds was stuck.

This time is strictly controlled and is consistent with the opening time of the Olympic Games at 8:08 p.m. on August 8, 2008.

Time: 19:59.

"Everyone is ready, 2 minutes and 30 seconds of panoramic aerial photography, enter!"

Accompanied by Zhang Wu's order, the Olympic performances came quietly before the audience at the Bird's Nest saw the whole picture.

Zhang Wu's real work, which has been prepared for 2 years, started.

Hearing this voice, Xu Xin raised his head again.

The next step should be that after the 1-minute aerial shot ends, the lights of the bird's nest are dimmed, the sundial fireworks start to circle around the venue, and finally hit the middle of the venue.

Everything is done in a race against time.

Although he was looking for the figure of the pyrotechnic group, he unconsciously looked at the sky.

Whisper in words that only you can hear:

"This battle...is a battle of national destiny."

"There is no... loss."

"Send troops to compete..."

"Dingding Central Plains..."

"It is done!"

"You must be famous!"

"Attack must be conquered!"

"The battle... must be won!"

No one knows what he is talking about looking at the sky.

No one knows why his eyes are so determined at this moment!

At this moment, more than 4 billion people in the world are watching TV.

The eyes are full of curiosity, scrutiny, strangeness and so on.

Locked on this country that is both familiar and unfamiliar to them, and always seems to be shrouded in a veil of mystery.

I want to see, this... can almost be said to be the only ancient civilization in the world that has survived as a country, what kind of surprise it will bring to everyone through this prosperous age.

World, focus on this.

"Click!"

The audience, the lights are dimmed.

Fireworks suddenly exploded over the bird's nest.

"Crack!"

"Snapped!"

"Boom boom boom..."

For five thousand years, always on the poker table, maybe occasionally tired, maybe sometimes at a loss.

But in the end, the ancient dragon, still sitting firmly on the card table, smiled at the white clouds and the surging wind, and seemed to be awakened by the noise.

For the first time, it showed its whole picture to the world.

The surrounding fireworks and the sundial quietly projected on the big screen symbolize the brilliance of the first ray of light in the sky, falling on this sacred place from the transmission of the hook rope and fireworks.

Earth, everything revives.

The light of management spread among the neat phalanxes.

corner.

a little.

one slice.

One side...

2008 The sound of the noodle pot, and the dazzling brilliance passing between the light and shadow, tell the world.

we are coming!

In the arena, 2008 silent men in silver armor with burning brows seemed to be awakened by a flash of lightning shot from an ancient sundial, and gradually beat the drums. The sound was long, and finally swept through the audience like a hurricane.

Dazzling, eye-catching,

Shine bright!

Among the beating sounds of ancient musical instruments, a colorful and shining ocean is formed.

"oh!!!"

"Wow la la la la la la..."

Screaming, cheering and applause.

Suddenly, a symbol came from each of the two groups of phalanxes.

"60."

Countdown...

Officially begin!

Sixty.

Fifty.

forty.

thirty.

twenty.

ten…

"Nine!"

"eight!"

"seven!"

"six!"

"five!"

"Four!"

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

Amid the cheers and applause, fireworks shot up into the sky.

Amidst the sound of fireworks, two lines of words appeared on the big screen above the bird's nest:

"Have friends come from afar."

"Welcome my friend!"

Then, the shocking "singing while beating the pot" began!

Shock.

Originated from the 2008 face fou, and the shock of the 2008 fou fighters, amidst the cheers of the crowd, waved to the audience, and then began to exit quickly.

Yang Mi, who had already taken off her hat at some point, suddenly noticed a gaze cast over her.

She looked subconsciously, and saw her boyfriend pointing at the big screen high up, as if he was talking about something.

But the sound is too loud...

She couldn't hear clearly.

You can see the mouth shape, but you can vaguely make out two words:

"Look, you!"

Look at me?

What are you looking at me for?

She was puzzled.

Then, I saw the outside picture on the big screen above.

One group after another, the footprints made up of fireworks came from the sky.

The link named "Big Footprints" begins.

Among the sound of fireworks, Yang Mi seemed to understand what her boyfriend meant.

Memories in Hengdian emerge unconsciously.

But the sweetness in my heart turned into a touch of sourness with disordered breathing.

Tears fell down in a flash.

She didn't know why she was crying.

But... I can't stop my tears.

She intends to blame her boyfriend, but when she looks over again, she finds that her boyfriend is looking at her crying expression, showing a proud and proud smile.

Like a child who succeeds in pranks.

While she was wiping away her tears speechlessly, she turned her head away.

Watching the fireworks go off in the sky...

Xu Xin knows.

This is just the beginning.

The real test is coming.

And when the fireworks waterfall above the bird's nest was lit up, he didn't go to congratulate Zhai Guoqiang behind him.

ignored the cheering crowd.

because…

At this moment, the LED screen has been turned on, and a picture of five rings of stars gathering rapidly appears.

He immediately looked at the laptop on the table in front of him.

Software real-time monitoring full picture display...

All screens, everything works!

But he didn't relax at all, and he didn't even pay attention to any aspects of the court.

Because from the rising of the five rings of stars at this stage, until the entrance of the delegations from various countries...

His work has just begun.

So, he collected all his thoughts, fixed his eyes on the laptop in front of him, and put on the earphones.

From then on, the Olympic cheers, screams and applause have nothing to do with him.

The battle of the National Games has officially started!

"Attention all engineers, start to enter the rapid response stage."

Wearing the earphones, he gathered in the five rings of the starry sky where everyone was immersed in the darkness. In the dreamlike scene, he said to everyone in the main control room of the Bird's Nest on the earphone side:

"Now, it's time for us to play!"

His voice is not loud, not small.

Just happened to be heard by the family members next to me.

Then, Yang Mi, who was sitting next to her, heard Wang Sicong in the front row turn her head and said to herself:

"I'm stupid, Lao Xu... so handsome!"

"R17!"

"The monitoring instrument is realistic, and the pressure in the X3Y55 area is a bit high, so make preparations for the restart in advance."

"Blank screen in F60 area! ...OK."

"Attention, movable type printing starts, areas overlap, and all area block numbers are changed according to the original plan."

"Movable type printing ends, and "Silk Road" begins."

"Attention, "The Land of Etiquette" begins...Be sure to pay attention, and make up for the black screen before the beauties in palace costumes end..."

"The third stage of lifting begins, pay attention to the change of the area code."

One order after another came from Xu Xin's mouth in an orderly manner. The programs he had watched during the rehearsal were not worth his nostalgia at all.

At this moment, he has transformed into the most precise component in this gigantic machine performing normally.

Using my one-year more experimental experience than others, I handled and arranged everything in an orderly manner.

The cheers from the audience and the change of lighting did not affect the quality of his work at all.

Everything, nothing to do with him.

He only needs to face the computer in front of him.

"These... are all made by Lao Xu?... Isn't it too awesome?"

Wang Sicong said to Jay Chou next to him in astonishment.

Jay Chou was speechless.

Turning his head unconsciously, he looked at the friend who was watching the computer intently on the director's platform.

Finally, he shook his head:

"Shut up and focus on watching!"

Hearing this, Wang Sicong didn't say a word, and looked at the scroll of prosperity in front of him without blinking.

I am completely convinced.

In all fairness, because my friend is busy with the Olympics, when he was bored studying in the UK, he has been paying attention to the opening ceremonies of the Olympic Games in various countries after there are video records.

From the humble beginning of lighting the torch, now the Olympic Games carry more and more ideas, and the performances are becoming more and more diverse...

After spending nearly half a month of free time, I watched all the opening ceremonies.

Wang Sicong was actually quite guilty.

Because he found... It seems that everyone is digging for all possibilities.

Every country hopes that their country will become the most memorable Olympic host country.

So, they gave it their all in the opening.

It's like emptying out all the good-looking and fun things.

Being in such a state, he really didn't dare to think about Xu Xin's side...or what kind of pressure Director Zhang was facing.

Especially in this special situation this year...

He really didn't dare to think about it.

Because just thinking about it gives me a headache.

On the one hand, people in their own country have to let out a sigh of relief.

On the other hand, it is even more shocking to people all over the world.

These two requirements must be met at the same time…

No matter how you think about it, it is an impossible thing.

They are not gods.

How about... can't do it?

Especially after the two-minute leaked video.

Wang Sicong still feels quite disappointed... After all, those links don't look very good.

But he would definitely not say that.

That is my friend.

He can't do the thing of pulling out his own popularity.

But if you don't talk about it, don't talk about it, I'm afraid, and I'm really afraid.

Especially after seeing Xu Xin's interview on the TV station.

The confident words, in his eyes, looked like a stubborn existence.

Although he fully believes that his friend has this ability... but self-confidence and blindness are two different things.

Speaking out is not afraid of being laughed at by others, he had a nightmare last night, dreaming that Xu Xin screwed up...

After waking up this morning, I saw the gloomy weather outside. After checking the weather forecast, I found that it is likely to rain today...

There are some words that cannot be said.

But in his heart he really felt that...

In other words, a possibility was infinitely magnified in his heart.

That is…

Will this Olympics be like Zhuge Liang before Wuzhangyuan?

Obviously tried my best, but in the end...

Even God is not on their side.

This thought has been in my heart for a whole day.

Until now...

He listened to the live commentary and finished watching the first half of the opening ceremony called "Brilliant Civilization".

With the awe-inspiring emotion in his heart, after he sincerely shouted the phrase "Niubi", he was in the prosperous age under the thirty-six Panlong pillars.

Suddenly, he was a little dazed.

Looking in a daze at Lang Lang who is playing the piano among a group of glowing actors...

There is an inexplicable feeling in my heart.

It doesn't matter whether it rains or not.

because…

The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games that I witnessed with my own eyes will definitely become an unforgettable performance for everyone.

Even if it is not perfect, it is a flaw of perfection.

"I ~ and ~ you..."

"Heart~lian~heart..."

"we~are~family~~~~~"

"oh!!!"

The moment Liu Huan and Sarah Brightman finished singing, the audience cheered again.

But their cheers were far less loud than those in front of the director's stage, louder!

On both sides of the director's station, the surprised audience turned their heads to look, but saw all the staff of the director's team cheering!

Embrace!

It looks like a gang fight.

Zhang Yimou seemed to be trying to persuade a fight.

kept saying:

"It's not here yet, it's not over yet! Don't cheer yet! There's still the final battle!"

But the joy on his face was also beyond words.

Yes.

When the theme song "You and Me" ends, it means that 99% of the opening ceremony has been successfully completed in just over an hour!

As for why he said it's not over yet...

Because the test for the weather has just begun.

The admission of all members of the Olympic delegation, including the referee's oath and other links, is expected to take about 2 and a half hours.

Yes, the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games is over.

There are only two links left.

One, the contestants step on the paint area and walk on the paper to draw.

Second, is to light the main torch.

In 2 and a half hours, they have completed 99% of the performance, whether it is the LED screen or all the performances, as if blessed by God, they have perfectly completed their glorious mission!

But it's the same... The final highlight has not yet arrived.

It will take more than 2 hours of suffering.

Pray that it won't rain.

Praying for...a successful torch lighting.

So, at this stage, for everyone, it is only half of the people who travel a hundred miles.

There is one final step.

Only when the torch is lit over the bird's nest, can it be considered a real success!

But for the directors of other sub-programs, the entire Olympic Games and their own mission are over.

So, they were ecstatic.

They celebrate.

Even Xu Xin is qualified to celebrate.

But he didn't.

He just took off his headphones.

Glanced at the Greek delegation that had already entered the arena amidst the sound of music, and said to Director Zhang Wu, who also took off his earphones and came over to pinch his shoulder with a smile on his face:

"Director Zhang... fulfilled his mission."

At some point, Xu Xin, whose overalls were all wet, smiled pale.

Didn't eat at night, plus more than 1 hour of concentration...

Almost exhausted all his mind.

I'm exhausted.

"Hahahahahahaha..."

Looking at his collapsed appearance, Zhang Wu didn't care, just patted his shoulder:

"Xiao Xu! It's done! The LED screen has persisted! Hahahahahahaha...God bless China! God bless China!!"

"…Um."

Xu Xin responded.

Zhang Wu's mission is over.

In the second half, the director of the delegation entering the stadium was someone else.

It can be said that the entire director team breathed a sigh of relief.

And listening to Zhang Wu's words... After Xu Xin responded, he saw concerned eyes from his family.

He smiled and waved his hands to indicate that he was fine, then stood up with a chair, left the director's station, and walked towards the back room.

Everyone, including Xu Daqiang, looked at him with concern when they saw him enter the house.

But Xu Xin didn't respond to anyone.

Even after seeing the message from Yang Mi, he didn't click on it.

Now he...

I want to be quiet.

Although there was still noise outside the house, only this kind of environment could calm him down for more than an hour just now.

Are you sorry?

It's a pity.

Didn't get to see all the actors bring out their best, most beautiful, best side.

Although he could still watch the recording and broadcast later, after all, he still felt a little regretful that he only focused his eyes on a small computer screen when he came to the scene.

But after regret, it is a feeling of exhaustion from the heart.

2 years.

For more than 2 years.

The time of more than two years was compressed and blended into this more than one hour.

And in this more than one hour of compressed time...

It is also loaded with this country...the five thousand years of this civilization.

Through the scroll, throughout.

Suddenly, he remembered the scene when he was driving back with the "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" bought from the Forbidden City.

At that time, with an unprecedented excitement, he kept chanting the phrase "The history book is too small to contain a person's magnificent life. The history book is also very large! It contains the five chapters of Chinese civilization." Millennium!" words.

He kept mumbling.

Because that is the best portrayal of the hot land under my feet that I feel is the most permeable, and even used to summarize and define what I love deeply.

I am afraid that a word is missing, which will make it impossible to summarize its meaning.

The past two years now are destined to be just one in history...not too conspicuous, and may even be forgotten in a hundred years or so...or even! A frenzy beyond the comprehension of so many unborn children.

They may be surprised, puzzled, and puzzled...

It was obviously just an ordinary sports meeting opening ceremony.

Why would anyone do this.

Why do you sigh after experiencing failures again and again.

And why did he laugh out loud after successfully getting the right to host.

Why would anyone be so excited, why would someone shed tears...

Many people will not understand, will be confused, and will feel that it is not worth it.

It's just an Olympics.

It's just an opening ceremony... that's all.

A mere two years is so insignificant compared to this planet that lasts for ten thousand years.

But why, the cheers outside the glass door were deafening.

Why do the people on the director's stage and in front of the TV burst into tears.

But, my friends...

No need to understand.

Because we are just a wave in the tide of history.

What we carry are the expectations that once fell on us. And all expectations, as long as they are not disappointed, are the most worthwhile in the world.

You don't need to understand.

You just need to know that at least we have taken another small step towards that bright future, a small but insufficient step for you to reach a higher starting point in the future, and that's enough.

Because sooner or later, we will also place our expectations on those who are behind.

A director only has one Olympic Games in his life.

Our task has been completed...

Suddenly, he thought of something, and the cigarette in his hand suddenly became stiffer.

Then it slowly became awkward.

Complete a hammer!

There is one last step!

Barry is only half of 90.

If you really want to talk about the progress, at this point, it can almost be said that 99% of the work has been completed.

But without the last "1", it would still be an absolutely imperfect failure.

Thinking of this, he directly stubbed out the cigarette, opened the door and walked out.

Then I felt the concerned eyes from my girlfriend and father at the same time.

Obviously, at this juncture, after appreciating the shock of the opening ceremony, the arrival of the Olympic delegations is far less worrying about themselves.

Facing this concerned gaze, Xu Xin had a relaxed smile on his face.

He came to the fence and said:

"It's okay, the delegation is entering the arena now, and our country is the last one to appear. You can do whatever you want, we have to be busy for a while."

As he spoke, he looked at the seven aunts and eight aunts and the children at home all turned their heads to look at him.

After a pause, he asked:

"Does it look good?"

"nice!"

Yang Mi was the first to react and gave her sincere answer.

"The best opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, bar none!"

"...Ha~ What about you?"

"It's so pretty, it's awesome!"

"The thief is awesome!"

"It's so beautiful!"

The sincere praise made Xu Xin smile so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.

Laughing and nodding:

"Okay, that's okay."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and sat next to Zhang Wu who had changed into a fresh shirt and came back to sit behind the crowd.

"Director Zhang, are you relieved?"

Zhang Wu didn't speak.

Just smiled and squeezed Xu Xin's leg.

Very hard.

Xu Xin nodded.

Including Zhang Yimou who is standing in front of the whole scene... and everyone around knows...

Worshiping the Buddha and kneeling three thousand times, it has been done.

Now, the last stick of incense is missing.

"oh!!!"

When Yao Huang, nicknamed the "Little Giant of the East", held a flag and stepped out together with Lin Hao, a kid from the earthquake zone, the audience burst into the most enthusiastic cheers with the commentator's voice.

Cheer for the Olympic athletes.

But Xu Xin, Zhang Wu and other staff who presided over the opening ceremony in the first half had become tense.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom..."

The sound of a huge heartbeat filled Xu Xin's mind, and he kept picking up the binoculars to observe everything above the bird's nest.

It didn't rain.

Don't let it rain!

It's just a last-ditch effort!

God...

While he was praying, finally, the chief referee swearing-in ceremony was completed.

The Olympic torch relay has been completed.

The last torchbearer, Li Shi, holds a lighted torch... Just when everyone was guessing how he was going to light the torch, he was pulled by the hook...

Fly up!

"oh!!!"

Amidst the cheers, at this shocking moment, the rope adjusted its angle and tilted suddenly!

The crowd subconsciously exclaimed.

But Li Shi, who is crooked, is walking on the big circular screen of the entire bird's nest, stepping on the five continents, four oceans, one city after another, the history of the Olympic Games one after another, carrying the prayers of all mankind, striding in the air Run up!

Below. Xu Xin's heart had already reached his throat.

Clenched his fists subconsciously, watching Li Shi sometimes lag behind the scroll, sometimes surpass the history, step by step, in the air, holding the torch, running towards a new future.

"Go, go!"

Xu Xin had a ferocious face, his eyes were red.

fly!

Fly!

Carrying our deepest love and prayer!

fly!

Fly higher.

Faster!

Stronger!

Use the torch in your hand to declare to the world that we belong to the new life of this ancient land under our feet!

approaching...

Near!

Finally, step by step, step by step, after completing the leap from the past to the future, from history to the present, from the five continents to the four oceans... step by step...

Finally, Li Shi stopped in front of the torch fuse.

"Do not rain!"

"Must succeed!"

"It will be a success!"

The entire director team clenched their fists and gritted their teeth, listening to the voice of Zhang Yimou himself giving orders:

"Countdown to ignition!"

"three!"

"two!!"

In front of the director's station, everyone couldn't help roaring.

Before and behind the stage, more than 30,000 people who have been working for the Olympics for more than two years roared in unison!

"one!"

"Fire!!!"

Li Shi tilted his arm.

Although the fire is weak, it is like a newborn sun, lighting up above the bird's nest!

"Hoo~~~"

Ignite success!

The flames circled the sky along the grooves of the fiery red and silver auspicious clouds.

Ancient oriental dragons in this new era!

In front of more than four billion people in the world, raise your noble head!

Hold your head high!

"Boom!"

The flaming sun of the main torch is lighting up the night sky all over the world at this moment!

"ah!!!!"

When the torch was successfully ignited, everyone in the Bird's Nest could no longer resist the pride in their hearts, and roared soaringly!

This roar is full of holes in the first half of 2008!

This roar! It is the auspicious cloud map of the ancient oriental country showing its scales and minions to the world!

Chi Lin chases the red sun, iron horse rides ice!

You Long held his head up, and the golden sound shocked the world!

Yang Mi stood up and cheered.

But the next moment, I suddenly felt my hand being grabbed and lifted out of thin air!

Before he could react, Xu Xin had already kissed her deeply!

In this kiss, she tasted the bitter taste of tears.

She knew that it was more than two years of hard work, the joy after one day of success... and even the hot emotions contained in a deeper level.

But what she didn't know was that when he kissed the person in his arms with love for the whole world, his eyes always fell on the solemn and majestic flame of the bright red torch.

In that fire, he saw light, red, surging vitality and hope.

I even saw the golden dragon raising its head, declaring to the world its majesty throughout the past and present.

And, amidst the majesty, that sound pierced into the depths of the soul.

So, he whispered in his heart:

"Hello world, listen to the dragon!"
