064 Opening of the Olympic Games
At 19:50 on August 8, 2008, in the cheerful tune of the welcome march, the Grand Commander, former Grand Commander and International Olympic Committee President Jacques Roger, former Chairman, Samaranch, and other leaders of various countries, as well as relevant Olympic Committee organizations, walked onto the rostrum and waved to the audience, and continued thunderous applause sounded.
This evening, the Bird's Nest gathered 160,000 people. Of them, 70,000 were the client group of the Olympic Organizing Committee, mainly VIPs, athletes and opening ceremony performers, and the other 90,000 were audiences, staff and volunteers.
Olympic volunteers at the scene led the audience to beat the beat, and the shouts of "Come on China" ran from one end of the bird's nest to the other end, resounding in every corner of the venue.
Gradually, the light of the bird's nest dimmed, and a light sparked from the roof of the venue, tangling out a dazzling halo, illuminating the ancient sundial.
I don’t know when the center of the venue was full of people. This is a slatted formation composed of 2,008 people.
Foo is a pottery in ancient China and used to hold wine, but the ancients also liked to tap it and use it as a musical instrument.
This time the cage is specially customized for the Olympics, with resin frame, steel keel, cowhide drum surface, and an LED lamp that emits light when hit. This is a product that combines modern and ancient elements.
The person in charge of the interpretation taps the squid in front of him in turn to form a regular pattern.
With 60 seconds left before the official opening, the array was knocked out with a 60 number, and then the countdown data was combined with 10 seconds as the span.
In the last ten seconds, the upper and lower circles formed the numbers of Chinese characters and Arabic numbers respectively. Because they were tapping every second, the sound of the song was as exciting as thunder. The audience counted down loudly as the numbers changed.
10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1…
Amid the rising cheers, fireworks above the bird's nest ignited, giving people an unparalleled shock.
After the host's introduction, the commander stood up and waved. Then, he left the camera to the scene.
The 2,008 people who were still in the center of the bird's nest sang and chanted, "Is it a pleasure to have friends coming from afar."
After that, 29 huge firework footprints walked from Yongding Gate, Qianmen, Tiananmen, Forbidden Gate, and Gulou to the Bird's Nest with precise steps, which not only symbolizes the 29th Olympic Games step by step into China, but also symbolizes an ancient giant going to the world.
After arriving at the main venue, huge firework footprints dispersed all over the sky, turning into stars, reflecting the dreamy Five Rings.
During the performance of the performer flying in the sky, the five rings that were originally spread out on the venue were lifted up and hung over the bird's nest.
Afterwards, the cooperation between the two children was carried out, a song "Singing the Motherland", and children wearing 56 ethnic costumes surrounded and escorted the national flag to the hands of eight flag-raising bearers.
The audience stood up, raised the national flag, and played the national anthem.
Colorful fireworks bloom in the air.
Fire trees and silver flowers are closed, and the iron lock of the star bridge is opened.
At this point, the chapter of the welcoming ceremony ends.
After that, there is a fifty-minute artistic performance.
The athletes’ admission ceremony is only after the artistic performance.
As the host, the Chinese team was the last to enter the field.
The delegation of 1,099 people had 639 contestants, which set the highest number of participants in China's previous Olympic Games.
Chen Qing was also among them. The red suit top was wearing a yellow shirt, like a scrambled egg with tomatoes.
Because of the hat trick the day before, Chen Qing was given an extra 10 seconds of shot.
Chen Qing waved the specially thinned and lengthened national flag and walked past the camera, and waved to the camera. More than ten years later, this camera was included in the main theme movie that was released on the National Day and had a big box office hit.
After the Chairman of the Imperial Capital Olympic Organizing Committee and the President of the International Olympic Committee delivered speeches, the final ignition ceremony of the torch was the one.
Starting from Xu Haifeng to Li Ning, eight romantic figures who have made contributions to the history of the Chinese Olympic Games were torchbearers, running on the stadium in turn to complete the final pass.
The 45-year-old gymnastics prince was hung up to the sky by the Wia, holding a torch high and stepping on the color screen above the stadium, running around the stadium for a week. During this process, the screen under Li Ning's feet turned into a slowly unfolding Chinese-style scroll, which presented a dynamic image of the global transmission of the Olympic flame of the Imperial Capital.
In fact, the original idea of the ignition ceremony was not to walk in the clouds, but to a phoenix flying from afar, holding a burning fire in its mouth, igniting the holy fire.
For the alias of the National Stadium Bird's Nest, the creativity of the Phoenix returning to the nest may be even more amazing.
It is said that this creative rehearsed for a long time and was eventually replaced because Smida's TV station secretly took the rehearsal and released the secretly shot in advance.
In fact, life is like this, there will always be some disgusting existences. Despite this, you must be yourself and face it calmly.
Li Ning's stroll in the clouds was also very good. The whole ceremony was sublimated at the moment the torch lead was ignited.
As a participant on the spot, Chen Qing was a little excited. Before he was reborn, he watched the live broadcast on the Internet in front of the computer. He was already very shocked at that time. Now he is in it, he feels like witnessing history.
There is still a while before the scene ends. After all, there are too many people gathering in the bird's nest tonight.
The politicians and tycoons from various countries will obviously be the first to leave.
The media seemed a little reluctant, after all, there were too many celebrities worth interviewing and invitations.
For example, the American men's basketball team. The players of the entire team are the top stars of each NBA team.
Because of the development of modern media and David Stern's superb promotional skills, the NBA, or the American Professional Basketball League have achieved unprecedented development in recent years, this year's American men's basketball team is also known as the Dream Eighth Team.
Kobe Bryant and LeBron James are unquestionable superstars on the team.
There is also football. Brazil's Ronaldinho is the biggest football star in this Olympics.
Although Ronaldo was abandoned by Barcelona a month ago, AC Milan is still willing to pay him 21 million euros in real money. Moreover, if AC Milan qualifies for the Champions League at the end of the season, it will have to pay an additional 4 million euros to Barcelona.
Of course, as the host, there are naturally also star players who are highly concerned.
Yao Ming, the Olympic flag bearer, and Liu Xiang, the holder of the 110-meter hurdles, are the most popular.
After that, because of the wide audience of football, Chen Qing, who completed a free kick hat trick for the first time in the official match for the national team, also became the focus of media attention.
Compared with Yao Ming and Liu Xiang, the media friends all think that Chen Qing’s news may be a little more explosive.
Sure enough, when facing a reporter's first time participating in the Olympics and asking questions, Teacher Chen broke a popular golden sentence on the Internet in later generations.
"I have no regrets in this life and will be a Chinese in the next life."
This is August 9, 2008, three years after the original "Things of That Rabbit" series.
