There are many parts of the Olympic Games.

There are about thirty links in total, large and small.

There are themes, interludes, and transitions...

Although the weather is not good, the directors and the performers, who have practiced for this grand mission for many years, have a sincere heart, and in this kind of... for outdoor performances, it is almost possible

In a rehearsal environment that can be called a "disaster level", every limited sunny day is stuck, overcoming the difficulties of the venue, and sweating.

And these programs created by the director team, one after another, are constantly being adjusted, adjusted, and adjusted in the performances of these actors.

For example...

Links to the dove of peace.

When the Peace Dove part was first designed, because the part where the Peace Dove is released every year in the Olympic Games is basically the same as the Torch part.

Then when the pigeons take off, there will always be some pigeons flying over the torch, flying and suddenly their butts catch fire, and finally turn into ashes.

Therefore, this kind of behavior has always been a part of the Olympic Games that has been criticized by some people from animal protection organizations.

Especially at the Seoul Olympics, the released peace doves rushed over the torch, like burning fireballs, and fell in front of the onlookers outside the torch. Photos of their bodies on fire and struggling were taken by the media and exaggerated, causing a stir.

There is dissatisfaction among many organizations both internally and externally.

Therefore, in order to avoid this kind of controversy to the greatest extent and enhance the overall image of the country, the director team decided to use a variety of concepts to convey the meaning of peace in the "Song of Peace" segment, where people completed the shape of a large peace dove to convey their own

The protection of animals, at the same time, the clear idea that peace should be "people-oriented".

This session was very well received, and nearly 2,300 performers worked hard for nearly a year.

Especially after the Shenmu simulation performance ended, everyone's dark skin was covered with plateau red, and it was obvious just from their faces that they had worked hard.

During the session, they came out of the performance aisle.

You definitely can't shoot this kind of scene during a live broadcast, so you need an interlude.

Lang Lang's transition is placed here from the beginning.

At that time, he will perform a solo with a young girl from northern Xinjiang named Li Muzi, and then after the actors of the Peace Dove have finished taking their positions, he will complete about nine minutes of "Starlight" composed by two famous composers, Ye Xiaogang and Zou Xing.

Dove of Peace performance.

The Olympic directing team chose Lang Lang between Li Yundi and Lang Lang, and the other party happily agreed.

There was almost no thought, just one phone call, and the decision was made on the spot during the communication on the phone.

However, to be honest, from the time the decision was made years ago to now in late July, the people on the directing team have only met Lang Lang twice.

One time was when I came to pick up the piano sheet music of "Starlight" and customize the performance costumes. Another time was when the dove of peace was adjusted from the "interlude" to the "heart" position later in the year. Lang Lang showed his face and finished playing the recorded part of the piano.

After confirming that the effect was okay, I set off for Europe again.

In fact, this is how many people in the directing team have truly realized what kind of weight the name "Lang Lang" has in the world.

Because of the performance contract, Lang Lang was basically out of the country in the first half of the year.

Instead, he traveled to and from major business performances, concerts, and even internal dances of some European royal families.

Oh yes, he even attended the opening ceremony of the European Cup.

This shows how popular he is internationally.

The director team also understands that after all, it is all about bringing glory to the country.

and……

On the day of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, Lang Lang seemed to be playing the piano, but in fact the sound of the music did not come from the piano he played, but the studio version that had already been completed.

So no one panics.

Every time when the program "Peace Dove" comes to rehearsal, a bright and clear sign is placed in front of the piano, and then the child Li Muzi sits next to him and performs.

To be honest, as far as the unity of dance movements is concerned, the Peace Dove segment has almost no technical content. And by then, every actor will be equipped with headphones and receive unified command. They only need to follow the instructions practiced day after day.

.

But for the LED screen project team, the pressure is the greatest.

It can be said that no other program brought as much pressure to Xu Xin as this program.

First of all, all the actors in the Peace Dove segment will stand on a scroll that has been shrunk to 88 meters.

In terms of density, there is a lot of pressure on LED screens.

Then, accompanied by the sound of the piano, they will unfold along the rolling scroll from squatting to undulating.

After standing on the 147-meter scroll, he will still continue to squat and stand up.

The waves form like sea waves and continue to put huge irregular pressure on the LED screen.

Then along with the piano notes, the LED lights on the body light up, changing from green to white, and run out of the scroll, forming a geometric pattern that keeps spinning like a vortex.

During this period, several groups of people also ran through the LED screen, and then through the running method, they once again formed a huge peace dove that was penetrated by the scroll. The weight pressure of everyone will once again be concentrated in the center of the entire LED screen.

Then, the human-made peace dove will begin to "flap" its wings.

The entire span of the program is conducted on the screen.

It is also the part of the entire Olympic Games where the largest number of people need to step on the LED screen.

But it's not over yet.

Finally, more than two thousand people will be reduced again, and they will form an artistic composition of a bird's nest by stacking Arhats, with one person on top and one person on the bottom.

This overlapping position of one up and one down will concentrate the strength of two people on one person's feet.

The pressure on the screen increases severalfold.

Therefore, to be honest, Xu Xin has always been particularly "repellent" to these people.

Every time he went to the rehearsal of Peace Dove, he would have the feeling of... more than two thousand big men pressing down on his daughter.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This idea sounds weird at first glance.

But one time I was chatting with the team members over dinner, and when we talked about this, everyone felt the same way.

It feels like the more than 100 meters of LED screen is their beloved "lover", "girlfriend", and "daughter". And every time those rough guys run and trample on it, everyone wants to get a dung fork.

Stab everyone!

Therefore, he has always disliked this link.

Dislike very much.

Especially when he sees that some areas of the screen that have been trampled by them are blackened with a few lines, his mood will explode.

Several times I wanted to scold these people, "Can't you be more gentle?"

But there was nothing we could do.

Not to mention... there is some news today that is neither good nor bad.

Lang Lang is back.

After finishing the performance in Europe, I finally came back.

Then... today's rehearsal for the Peace Dove project will be held in the evening, with a formal dress rehearsal for all members.

At around 6 o'clock in the evening, little girl Li Muzi, who was already on summer vacation, arrived at the Bird's Nest accompanied by her parents.

However, the weather today is still not good, it is sultry and muggy.

In order to prevent the child from feeling unwell, she was immediately placed in an air-conditioned room to rest after she arrived.

And Lang Lang also walked in front of and behind the child.

On the broadcasting station, Xu Xin's intercom sounded:

"Director Xu, Teacher Lang Lang is also here."

"Um."

Xu Xin picked up the walkie-talkie:

“What does the weather forecast say?”

"There will be no rain in the next three hours."

"Okay, let's collect the raincloth. Let's hurry up and let Lang Lang and Li Muzi prepare."

Following Xu Xin's words, the staff below quickly ran to the screen and began to collect the tarpaulins spread on the screen.

Xu Xin glanced at Zhang Yimou, Zhang Wu and others next to him...

I found that during this long wait, these "old guys" had closed their eyes and dozed off.

Normally, although it would be okay to go back to the air-conditioned room to rest for a while, the Bird's Nest doesn't look so empty now, but there are actually about 10,000 people waiting inside and outside the actor's aisle.

Performance rehearsals come and go again and again. Even if they want to take a rest, they may have just stepped into the air-conditioned room and have to come out again.

The gain outweighs the loss.

Too lazy to bother.
