767. Chapter 767 Scene 767 Cruel Competition

Under the gaze of everyone, several sports bureaus and leaders of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television entered the venue one after another. The atmosphere at the scene immediately became much more depressed. The originally noisy 15,000 people present suddenly became much quieter. Han Sanpin hurriedly welcomed and introduced Li Xiaole while shaking hands with the leaders. Li Xiaole smiled politely, but no one else remembered it, only remembered Director Liu, who was wearing a wig, with a serious expression on his face. He knew that this was the top leader of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television.

Director Liu obviously did not have a cold to a young man like him, but instead took the initiative to shake hands with Zhang Yimou, patted his shoulder and comforted him, "Yimou, thank you for your hard work recently." The two of them were obviously very familiar with each other.

"Xiaole, don't mind." Han Sanpin was afraid that Li Xiaole, the director of the title, would be unhappy, so he returned to his position and comforted him in a low voice:

"When Director Liu was responsible for the promotion of national ethnic culture, he invited Director Zhang to produce a large-scale live performance of "Impression·Liu Sanjie" and "Impression·Lijiang", which achieved particularly good results. Now, it can bring 300 million yuan in tourism revenue to Yunnan and Guilin every year. It can be said that he and Director Zhang are old friends."

Speaking of this, Han Sanpin also revealed to Li Xiaole in a mysterious way: "These two "Impressions" projects also cost more than 500 million yuan, and the land was specially approved by Bureau Liu to the Tourism Bureau. If you want to get the land documents, you'd better have a better relationship with Bureau Liu."

"Yes." Li Xiaole nodded, but he was quite dissatisfied with it. Director Liu obviously looked down on him, so why should he put on a cold butt now?

It was 6:30 on time, and the lights in the audience went out. After Zhang Yimou made a gesture, a staff member holding a microphone briefly introduced the audition process to the on-site person, and then issued the program list for audition tonight:

"The opening ceremony program is divided into two parts, the upper part is "Splendid Civilization", the themes are the scroll; text; opera; Silk Road; rituals and music, five themes, and the lower part is "Glorious Age", the theme is starlight; nature; blue planet; dream; theme song, and the final ignition ceremony~~"

After introducing the program list, the staff member raised the volume and said: "This time there was a new program participating in the audition. Director Li Xiaole's 'Tai Chi Sword' participated in the competition on the theme of 'Nature', and was eliminated and selected with Director Cai Guoqiang's 'Tai Chi' program. Choose one of the two..."

The scene was immediately in an uproar, and the actors were talking about it. "The 'natural' themes Director Cai has been in charge of this time for more than a year. How could Director Li choose this theme to compete for the competition..." "Just~~ It's not good to choose what to compete for, but Director Cai... His Tai Chi program is the strongest among all the programs..." "I don't know what Director Li is thinking about."

Not only the actors found it incredible, but even Director Liu and Zhang Yimou were whispering and discussing something. Obviously, they were puzzled by Li Xiaole's actions. You should know that Cai Guoqiang's "natural" Tai Chi theme scores for each audition are the highest scores from the expert group of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, and are almost the least likely to be replaced...

Amid everyone's doubts, this audition officially kicked off.

After the scene was quiet, the Chinese ancient music soundtrack sounded, and when the huge scroll on the venue slowly opened, the audience was shocked. This huge LED screen, 147 meters long and 27 meters wide, was the core of this opening ceremony, a long scroll showing China's five thousand years of history. The opening ceremony audition officially began.

"The Ancient Relics" is a magical display of four inventions, Chinese characters and operas. Among the melodious music, the caravans and maps of the Silk Road more than 2,000 years ago appeared on the long scroll. Thousands of sailors, holding huge yellow oars, formed a huge fleet, recreating the grand occasion of Zheng He's voyage to the West.

In the music, the oars flew, the sea and the sky were the same. In the stormy waves, the two fleets of ships flew like dragons. Ha Ji-won and Scarlett, who saw this scene for the first time, were stunned. Scarlett turned his head and asked Ha Ji-won in surprise: "The performances in your China Plaza are so high, this is even more exciting than the show in Las Vega~!"

"You only know that this is just ordinary, it's much more exciting." Ha Ji-won replied with a bright smile, completely forgetting that Scarlett was asking "You China" and she is simply a Korean... In fact, although Ha Ji-won is calm on the surface, she is also shocked in her heart. This group performance and huge props and screens give people an indescribable shock.

Especially this huge LED screen scroll, which is 147 meters long and 27 meters wide, is so beautiful that it seems to be able to wrap them in and enter the glorious history of China.

"Director Li, what do you think? Do you have any advice?" Zhang Yimou, in the back row, gently patted Li Xiaole's shoulder and asked in a low voice. After all, this is the first time that the director Li Xiaole has watched the formal audition. Of course, he has to give Li Xiaole enough face and ask his opinion.

"It's very good, but I think it can be better." Li Xiaole turned around and smiled calmly, giving an seemingly mysterious answer.

Zhang Yimou is not much, but Wang Chaoge, Cai Guoqiang, and Director Liu from the Radio and Television Bureau next to him all showed displeasure. What does it mean, "It's very good, but it can be better?" This is clearly meaning that it would be better if you Li Xiaole came to host, right? It's really arrogant and unpredictable.

They all felt uncomfortable. No matter how big the film achievements Li Xiaole has, he has never proved himself in the square performance. What's more, this big crew has been rehearsing for more than a year before he joined the group. Every program here is the crystallization of the talent, creativity and sweat of hundreds of creative teams and actors. Everyone has paid too much for it. Li Xiaole's words seem to be incompetent...

The directors of each program team couldn't help but feel angry, wanting to see what kind of program Li Xiaole could produce this time, and he could have such a condescending attitude.

The five major themes of "Splendid Civilization" in the first half, the scroll, text, opera, Silk Road, and rituals and music are all very Chinese. They are so fascinated by those who watched the rehearsal for the first time, while the lower part "Glorious Age" begins with even more exciting content.

After these three themes, Starlight, Blue Planet, Dream, it is finally the turn of director Cai Guoqiang to finale the "Nature" theme and Li Xiaole's new program. Everyone is waiting for this moment to come.

As the auditions of one program ended, the expert team of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television in the audience also kept giving various scores. Finally, they summarized the scores they gave first and then notified the final result of the program team after the performance. The final result was naturally that some people were happy and sad.

The final score was 78 points in the scroll, 83 points in the text, 59 points in the opera, 62 points in the Silk Road, and 72 points in the rituals and music... The lowest score was eliminated in the theme of "Asian", and the "Silk Road" also eliminated two programs ruthlessly. In just less than half an hour, the efforts of more than 2,000 people in the past year were wiped out...

Backstage, the crew that passed the review were celebrating happily, causing the people who were eliminated on the other side to hug each other, cry, scold, complain, and be silent... No matter how hard they work or how they pay, they will not get anything in the end. This may have been the most glorious moment in their lives, but in the end they only left a lifetime of regret... Tomorrow they will each take the plane ticket back to their hometown and return to their original position...

It's not because they are not outstanding enough, it's just because someone is better than them...

As time goes by, under the theme of the last two programs "Nature" that finally came to the shocking audition, Cai Guoqiang's "Tai Chi" + "Tai Chi Formation", and Li Xiaole's "Tai Chi Sword".

The staff on site raising a reminder sign on the theme of "Nature" at any time, and everyone on site couldn't help but concentrate. This competition between the ace in the director team and the title director, no matter who wins and who loses, will have a huge impact on the entire opening ceremony crew...

When the lights on the scene were on, the prop set had already set up 8 5X4 meters of screens, facing each direction, standing in front of each screen was a pretty girl in Tai Chi suit.

With the gentle birds singing and cicadas singing, blue waves flashed on the screen as the background~~ It floated slightly, and the beautiful colors complemented the standard and beautiful Tai Chi of the girl in front of the screen. In just a moment, everyone was brought into the martial arts realm of Tai Chi that combines both hardness and softness.

Although I have seen it many times, this time I added the background screen, the effect is even more beautiful. The clever and natural integration of girls, Tai Chi, and soft light and shadow made many people unconsciously "wow" in their hearts...

Such complex elements are fused together, but they look beautiful and gorgeous. Cai Guoqiang's grasp of visual effects has reached a level of superb level, and he is truly a master of art.

Li Xiaole also looked at it and nodded, feeling very impressed. He could think of using the screen as the background to describe the concept of "qi" in Tai Chi, which coincides with him... If it were just to compare colors, he was really inferior to the super combination of Zhang Yimou and Cai Guoqiang. These two artists are truly worthy of being photographer-born artists...

Even Ha Ji-won and Scarlett were fascinated by the two laymen. Scarlett opened his mouth slightly and sighed from the bottom of his heart: "Oh my God, how could China have such a good live show director?"

He Ji-won turned around and looked at Li Xiaole worriedly. Although he wanted to ask him something, he was afraid of putting pressure on him, so he could only bite his lip and swallow his words back.

"It's not only the director who is good, but the team leader, but the actor is even more powerful." Li Xiaole sighed, looking at the sturdy middle-aged man next to him who was looking at the stage with his hips and asked Han Sanpin: "Is this the team leader of this performance? Who is he?" He felt very impressed. He thought of using the screen as the background to describe the concept of "qi" in Tai Chi, but it coincided with him... If it was just a comparison of color, he was really inferior to the super combination of Zhang Yimou and Cai Guoqiang. These two artists are really worthy of being photographer-born artists...

Even Ha Ji-won and Scarlett were fascinated by the two laymen. Scarlett opened his mouth slightly and sighed from the bottom of his heart: "Oh my God, how could China have such a good live show director?"

He Ji-won turned around and looked at Li Xiaole worriedly. Although he wanted to ask him something, he was afraid of putting pressure on him, so he could only bite his lip and swallow his words back.
