Chapter 363 What We Want Is a Director, Not a Poet!

“Two big truck bids?”

Hearing this, all the judges present looked at each other, and then the leader walked directly outside, and the other judges immediately followed.

Below, reporters had surrounded Wu Yuchen and Lao Mouzi. However, with the official staff clearing the way, these people did not dare to block the way and all gave way.

Wu Yuchen saw a group of judges coming over and greeted everyone with a smile. Upon seeing this, the leader asked directly: "Director Wu, are these two trucks your bids?"

At this time, I saw two large trucks loaded with two large containers. At first glance, it was estimated that these two large containers could not fit in the hall and could only be placed outside.

Wu Yuchen chuckled and said, "Boss, you will know after you open it and take a look."

Wu Yuchen directed people to unload the container, and then opened the container and took a look. Everyone found that the container contained two scaled-down versions of the bird's nest!

Construction of the Bird's Nest started on December 24, 2003, and has not yet been completed. No one expected that Wu Yuchen and the Lao Mouzi team would specially make two Bird's Nest models for this bidding!

Everyone present was shocked, and then the leader couldn't help but pointed at the bird's nest model and said:

"Director Wu, you guys..."

"Haha, leader, sometimes words may not be able to describe clearly. This is specially created by our team to show the effect. One opening ceremony and one closing ceremony!"

Hearing Wu Yuchen's words, everyone couldn't help but feel shocked. This move alone was at least one step ahead of other teams!

Then Wu Yuchen pointed to a stack of black boxes placed next to the bird's nest. Each box was marked and numbered. He picked up one of them and said, "This contains our plan. Each box contains 4 to 5 boxes." ”

The leader couldn’t help but point and ask: “Are these all?”

Seeing Wu Yuchen nod, the leader asked again: "How many are there in total?"

Wu Yuchen didn't speak. Lao Mouzi smiled and said, "24 in total."

Upon hearing this, the judges were speechless, and a group of reporters also took a breath. There are 4-5 plan books in each of the 24 black boxes, which must be more than 100 books! It’s all about the idea of ​​the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games!

Thinking about the teams that have come before, at most they only brought a few people each with a document package, and Chen Kaizi only brought a kraft paper folder. The number of plan documents alone is completely incomparable. ah!

Although the number of plans does not necessarily mean that their content is excellent, looking at these two Bird's Nest models and looking at the more than a hundred plan books packed into categories in the 24 black boxes, one can see that Wu Yuchen and Mr. You can see how much effort the Mouzi team has spent on this!

The leader looked at the two large containers, and then looked at Wu Yuchen and Lao Mouzi. He couldn't help but nod his head, his eyes showing unabashed appreciation.

Still at the gate, a group of reporters were taking photos of the bird's nest model and them, so it was not appropriate for him to show any attitude verbally. As judges, they still have this sensitivity. But to be honest, when any judge sees their team's careful preparation, this attitude alone can make them feel quite favorably!

Amid the constant flashes of reporters, the model in the container was moved in by multiple staff members, and Wu Yuchen, Lao Mouzi and others also followed the judges into the door. A group of reporters looked at the backs of Wu Yuchen and Lao Mouzi and couldn't help but chirped:

"I bet that Director Wu's team will win the bid this time!"

"With just the preparations made by Director Wu and the others, they have managed to put a gap between the other teams!"

"Wu Yuchen and Zhang Yimou already have an advantage over other teams by combining their swords, and yet they have reached this point, how can other teams survive!"

Inside the building, naturally the voices of outside reporters could not be heard. At this time, Li Anzheng smiled bitterly at Wu Yuchen and Zhang Yimou and said: "You two, you really caught me off guard!"

Li An has a good friendship with Wu Yuchen and Lao Mouzi. Wu Yuchen has invested in his movies twice, and Lao Mouzi is also a nobleman of Li An. He won the Golden Bear for "The Wedding Banquet" because Lao Mouzi helped him win it. It was a very important start in his career.

And what Li An said about being caught off guard was not actually talking about the two bird's nest models and more than a hundred plan books. After all, they were well prepared. He had nothing to say. What he was talking about was that the two of them suddenly formed a team. .

The selection of the Olympic opening ceremony adopts a multi-dimensional scoring system. The judges consider the plans of different teams from multiple angles and score them. Among them, the team's influence accounts for a separate scoring dimension. Wu Yuchen's personal influence is the well-deserved number one among those who participated in the selection. Now that he has formed a team with Lao Mouzi, there is no need to say that their team must be fully occupied in this category!

Before Wu Yuchen could say anything, Lao Mouzi said, "I have to thank Director Wu this time, otherwise I might not even be able to compete!"

Hearing this, Li An naturally understood the meaning of Lao Mouzi's words. Lao Mouzi's previous supernatural crisis really pushed him to the edge of the cliff. If Wu Yuchen hadn't stepped forward, it would be hard to say what he would be like now.

Wu Yuchen waved his hand and smiled, "We are all here for the Olympics. This Olympics is a good stage for our Chinese culture to flourish. No matter which team is selected or who will direct, as long as we can do a good job in the Beijing Olympics and show the good style of our China to the world, I will support it!"

Li An and Lao Mouzi both nodded in agreement.

The few people did not chat for too long, and each team also had to prepare for the upcoming campaign presentation.

In the conference room, when it was about to start, the leader specifically told the waiter: "Don't come in to pour water during the presentation, we will do it ourselves."

The creativity of the opening ceremony is of great importance, the specific content is top secret, and no details can be neglected.

There are a total of 13 teams today, and the presentation time for each team is uniformly stipulated to be 50 minutes. The 13 teams draw lots to determine the order.

The team that drew the first one is Cui Jian's team.

In fact, Wu Yuchen and Lao Mouzi are not the only ones who serve as the chief director together. For example, Cui Jian's team, although everyone is talking about Cui Jian's team, the real director is someone else, that is, Director Lin Zhaohua of the People's Art Theater.

Cui Jian still wore the iconic white baseball cap with red five-stars, and a red modified Zhongshan suit with frayed edges outside a white pullover.

Cui Jian has held many concerts, so he should not be stage fright. But when the presentation began, Cui Jian became nervous. He was not a good speaker, and when he got nervous, he stuttered even more. After saying a few words, he stood up and said, "I can't sit and talk, so I'd better stand up."

The leader smiled and comforted him, "It's okay, Xiao Cui, we don't have so many rules here, just do it as you like!"

Cui Jian took a breath and started to make the presentation again. But even if it was a little better, it was far from the effect of the pre-rehearsal.

The judges listened to the proposal called "Huaxia Law", which used the three chapters of fire law, water law and wind law to express that music lies in rhythm and life lies in movement. They all thought that Cui Jian was indeed a musician, and he put the focus directly on music.

However, there are also some eye-catching places in this proposal. The three types of drums, high, medium and low, plus the Xun, Xiao, Guqin and chime bells, merged into a grand ensemble of Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng and Yu. In the music of all countries and nations in the world, Zheng He's big ship went out to explore the new world, and the prosperity of the Qingming Shanghe Tu reappeared. A square of earth was built in the middle of the venue, and a 16-meter-high tree was on the square of earth. This tree grows, blooms, and leaves fall with the change of seasons...

"I didn't think too much. I think the Olympics is a grand event for all mankind. Gathering here, we should not be too independent, but should pursue something more common to all mankind..."

Listening to Cui Jian's words in the final summary, although it cannot be said that there is anything wrong, the leader's evaluation in his heart was lowered. Of course, the Beijing Olympics must have something common to all mankind, but the venue is China, and Chinese culture and style are indispensable. Even if it is to show common things, it is best to show Chinese characteristics.

Then, one team after another came out. After lunch, the first one to come out was Director Chen!

When the leader saw Chen Kaige walking in with a dignified manner, he was also infected by his confidence and couldn't help but smile. This time, 13 companies participated in the election, and the other 12 companies attended as teams. Only Chen Kaige participated in the election as an individual rather than a team!

After he put the file bag on the table, he walked to the center and stood there motionless, waiting to start.

The leader looked at him and couldn't help asking: "Director Chen, do you have anything else to bring?"

When these teams made their presentations, they were more or less prepared. Some made PPTs, and some made renderings. For example, Wu Yuchen's team made two bird's nests, which was the most attentive. Therefore, the leader looked at Chen Kaige, who was empty-handed at the moment, and reminded him for fear that he would forget.

Chen Kaige just shook his head: "No~"

"Okay, then you start."

Hearing this sentence, Chen Kaizi smiled, pulled his throat, and began to sing directly:

"Suddenly, the news of the recovery of Jibei came from outside the sword. When I first heard it, my clothes were full of tears.

I looked at my wife's worries, and I was so happy that I rolled up the poetry book.

Singing in the daytime, you must indulge in wine, and it is good to return home with youth.

I will go through the Wu Gorge from Ba Gorge, and then go down to Xiangyang and Luoyang."

This is Du Fu's "Hearing that the Government Army Recovered Henan and Hebei". The background of the poem and the emotions it expresses are very suitable for the scene at this time. It is applied to Chen Kaizi. The general meaning is: I am very excited and excited to hear that the Olympics will be held in our capital and the general director of the external bidding is very excited, excited, and happy from head to toe!

When he sang the last sentence with ups and downs, Chen Kaizi couldn't help but feel happy, and raised his right arm to express his joy. Then he looked at the judges, waiting for them to cheer.

According to Chen Kaizi's past experience, there must be someone to cheer and applaud. But at this time, the judges present looked at each other. They are all culturally literate, and they understand what Chen Kaizi means by this poem, but aren't you too exaggerated? And today's 50 minutes are for you to present your plan, not to see how happy you are!

The leader coughed, and then said to Chen Kaizi: "Director Chen, you should quickly present your plan."

Chen Kaizi didn't wait for the cheers, and sighed in his heart, then walked back and sat back in his chair.

Later, there was a rumor that Chen Kaizi was kicked out after reciting a poem, but the judges were not so stingy. There was also a rumor that Chen Kaizi only prepared a poem and did not prepare a plan at all, which was also false. After all, Chen Kaizi was not a fool, and he had made some preparations.

However, compared with other people's plans, Chen Kaizi's plan was the thinnest of all. He took out a white envelope from the cowhide document bag, which was 2 cm thick, and the right side of the envelope was sealed with traditional wax. After tearing it open, he took out his several pages of plan.

One thing can show Kaizi's sincerity. These pages were all written by him, not typed, and there were many outlines and modifications. Obviously, he had thought about it.

"All national ceremonies must begin with great music... The so-called great music is the culmination of iron drums, golden gongs, chimes, giant chimes and all copper percussion instruments. The great music is played together with the essence of folk percussion instruments from all over the country. It is arranged by masters, rising and falling, hard and soft, moving like thunder and thunder, and stopping like the clear light of the sea and the river, ups and downs, fascinating..."

Hearing that Chen Kaizi started to hang up his book bag again, a group of judges started to have a headache. You are asked to present the plan, what are you doing here? Write an article to show off your literary talent?

Fortunately, in the subsequent part of his article, we can hear his creative part, starting from tracing the origin of the Chinese nation, there are the Yellow River, red kites, and Tang Dynasty peonies, and modern times there are Cheng Long's Chinese Kung Fu, Yao Ming's and astronauts...

It's just that Chen Kaizi's plan is really not for people to listen to. He just wrote a very literary article, which also uses symbolic techniques to show the romantic, solemn and humorous artistic conception.

After Chen Kaizi finished reciting his epic, he felt his throat was dry, so he took a sip of water from the table. After he put down the cup, he saw that all the judges were looking at him, and the leader asked directly: "Director Chen, where is the next part?"

"The next part? No more!"

Hearing Chen Kaizi's answer, all the judges cried in their hearts, what on earth is this guy doing here!

The leader also looked at the time. Others didn't have enough time for 50 minutes, and they wanted to talk for 100 minutes, but you finished in 20 minutes? And it was such a nonsense!

The circle spoiled Chen Kaizi, but this leader would not spoil him, and said directly in a stern tone:

"This Olympics is a big project worth tens of billions or hundreds of billions! What we want is an "executable" plan, not listening to your big words. What we need is a director, not a poet!"
