Chapter 381 Olympic Director

This is Wu Yuchen's reminder to little baby Annie. The popularity of "The Devil Wears Prada" is naturally due to the fact that this movie has attracted a large number of women. On the one hand, they are concerned about the growth of this kind of heroine in the workplace, and on the other hand, this The film was shot in a fashion magazine, and many things in the fashion industry were shown in the movie. The dazzling array of luxury accessories and models naturally dazzled the girls.

The queen-like editor-in-chief played by Meryl Streep is a very annoying character, but the strong female aura she exudes is very popular among many independent women.

Yes, these women hate their bosses for being such harsh, sharp and changeable workaholics, but they also imagine that they can become such strong women. Therefore, this movie really captures the psychology of many working women.

Wu Yuchen smiled. He had already put the cake into his mouth to see how much she could eat. But it doesn't matter. After all, Annie has the most scenes in this movie and is a well-deserved heroine. As long as the movie sells well at the box office, she will still be remembered.

As for her wanting to act in some artistic films and pursue honors, let her go. Annie is not a small role now, and she can choose most opportunities in literary and artistic films.

…

A week later, Wu Yuchen returned to China with the "The Embalmer" team. There were still many interview invitations, wanting him to talk about "The Embalmer" and the Oscars, but Wu Yuchen rejected them all. His current focus The focus is all on the Olympics.

Not long after he returned, the Olympic Organizing Committee notified him and Lao Mouzi to attend the results announcement meeting.

In addition to Wu Yuchen and others, there were also representatives from several other teams present this time. It is said to be a press conference, but in fact it should be said to be an internal press conference, that is, only five bidding groups are notified for the time being, and there are no media or reporters on site. The real press conference is much more formal.

"I have kept you waiting for a long time. Your plans are all excellent, but our Olympics is of great importance, so we also spent 2 months after all-round discussions, listening and considering opinions from all sides, and came to the conclusion I won’t say any more nonsense, let’s see for ourselves!”

After the leader finished speaking, he distributed a form with various scores for each team's plan. There were 22 items in total, which were clear and clear. Then a summary table was displayed on the big screen, and the results of the five teams were all on it, and comparisons were also made.

For example, in terms of traditional Chinese cultural elements, Wu Yuchen, Lao Mouzi's team and Li An's Gehua team tied for first; in terms of contemporary style, the joint team scored the highest; in terms of world culture, the team scored the highest It is Wu Yuchen’s team; Wu Yuchen’s team also has the highest team influence; and the People’s Liberation Army team has the highest score in technical implementation.

Just from the subdivisions, we can see that the team of Wu Yuchen and Lao Mouzi won many first places, and the result is undoubtedly that the team of Wu Yuchen and Lao Mouzi ranked first in total!

After seeing this result, even though Wu Yuchen had expected it, he couldn't help but feel happy, and happily high-fived Lao Mouzi. After all, this is the Beijing Olympics! It’s China’s first Olympic Games!

People from several other teams also sighed after reading it. Although rumors had spread as early as the first round that the plan made by Wu Yuchen and Lao Mouzi's team was very outstanding, far ahead, and deeply satisfied with the superiors. , but they did not give up. After working hard for several months, they still wanted to try again, but now they still cannot compare to each other.

But they were relieved immediately. After all, it was Wu Yuchen and Lao Mouzi, two international Chinese directors, so it was natural for them to lose.

After the other teams left, the Olympic Organizing Committee left Wu Yuchen and Lao Mouzi alone. The leader also came over and said to the two with a smile: "Director Wu, Director Zhang, congratulations. Your plan won this time." Well deserved! But in the next few years, your burden will be heavy! You are responsible for 1.3 billion people!"

"Leader, since the country and the people are willing to believe in us, we will do our best to present a wonderful Olympic opening ceremony!" Wu Yuchen promised.

"I will definitely not let the organization down!" Lao Mouzi also said.

"Okay, okay! I still have great trust in the abilities of Director Wu and Director Zhang! But as the saying goes, a good man can help you. This Olympics is of great importance, and it's definitely not possible to rely on these two alone. In the next month, you guys will We need to build a creative team, and you can nominate candidates.”

The leader said and nodded: "Although the other eliminated plans were not selected, they all have many merits. Many of their designers also want to contribute to our Olympic Games. To contribute.”

Wu Yuchen naturally understood the meaning of the leader's words. There were some big guys here who wanted to participate in the Olympics. He smiled and replied: "Leader, we understand this. We must unite to create a united force. An Olympic event!”

The leader nodded and smiled when he heard this: "With Director Wu's words, I feel relieved!"

At this time, all other eliminated plans were open to Wu Yuchen and Lao Mouzi. The two could watch and get the ideas they wanted, and it was also a reference for them to select team candidates.

The next half month was spent by Wu Yuchen and Lao Mouzi watching these plans and selecting talents to join the main creative team. To be honest, those who can participate in these teams are all capable. When selecting, it is not only the ability that needs to be considered, but also the opinions and interests of all parties.

On March 29, at the press conference and appointment ceremony, many bigwigs gathered, the specifications and levels were quite high, and various Chinese and foreign media were present. Under the flash lights and cameras, the bigwigs handed the appointment letters to Wu Yuchen and Lao Mouzi.

"Mr. Wu Yuchen and Mr. Zhang Yimou are now appointed as the chief directors of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Beijing Olympic Games!"

When it comes to the interview session, the reporter will naturally ask: "Director Wu, can you talk about your feelings at this moment?"

Wu Yuchen said with the appointment letter: "Today can be said to be the most unforgettable day in my life. Being appointed as the chief director of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games is the highest honor for a literary and artistic worker in his lifetime.

The 100-year Olympic Games have made China's dream come true. 1.3 billion Chinese people are full of expectations for the Olympics, and billions of viewers around the world are paying attention to the Olympics. This is pressure, but also motivation!"

"Director Wu, you have made many successful movies. Do you think there is any difference between directing the Olympics and making movies this time?"

Wu Yuchen thought for a moment and said, "Making movies is a lifelong career, but directing the opening ceremony of the Olympics is a heavy responsibility. I can make many movies in my lifetime, but the opportunity to direct the Beijing Olympics may only come once in my lifetime, so this is a tough battle that can only succeed and not fail. I will do my best to hand in a satisfactory answer!"

"Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony Plan: Wu Yuchen's team won!"

"Beijing Olympics Director Group Confirmed: Wu Yuchen and Zhang Yimou Co-Director!"

"Wu Yuchen Leads Beijing Olympics Director Group to Appear!"

"Wu Yuchen Was Hired as Chief Director of Beijing Olympics!"

Not long after the press conference ended, the news had spread all over China, especially On the Internet, the discussion is already in full swing:

"Hahaha, just as I predicted!"

"It's Director Wu! I said Director Wu is the right person for every aspect!"

"It has to be Wu Yuchen! If the No. 1 Chinese director is not used, the jury will be scolded to death!"

"Does it still need to be predicted? This is Wu Yuchen and Zhang Yimou's team-up. It's the conspiracy that they didn't get the nomination!"

"Wu Yuchen deserves to be elected as the chief director! But Zhang Yimou is an over-birther, so I have reservations!"

"Zhang Yimou really needs to give Director Wu a kowtow. It's the black 8 minutes and the over-birth. There was no hope at all. If Director Wu hadn't taken action, how could he have been the chief director of the Olympics this time? Get him!"

"Don't talk about the Olympic director. He violated the law and discipline. He should be scolded to death. I won't scold him for the face of Director Wu who helped him."

"Don't say anything. Give Wu Yuchen some face and let Lao Mouzi help Director Wu with peace of mind. The success of the Olympics is also due to his contribution."

"Yes, yes, Lao Mouzi has an extra child, but he still has some talent. He is better than a fool and can help Director Wu!"

"Although I knew this would be the result, I am still happy! I wish Director Wu success and the Beijing Olympics a smooth and successful one!"

"With Director Wu here, the Olympics will definitely be beautiful!"

Netizens are chattering and discussing. Wu Yuchen has a lot to do.

In fact, this appointment is not just him and Lao Mouzi, but also includes a list of other main creative teams, such as Zhang Jigang, head of the People's Army Song and Dance Troupe, Chen Weiya, artistic director of the National Song and Dance Troupe, and Yu Jianping, president of the Engineering Design Institute, etc.

After the appointment ceremony, the first thing to do is to gather the selected creative team together for a meeting.

Wu Yuchen sat at the head of the table and said to everyone in the conference room:

"You are all talents from all walks of life in China, and you are the leaders in the industry. This time everyone gathered here with the same goal, that is, to host our Beijing Olympics!"

Wu Yuchen glanced at everyone present and nodded, and then continued:

"There are still two and a half years, which is long, but for such a big event as the Olympics, it is also short. Now the Olympic Committee has set a time point for us. In September this year, the final creative plan will be finalized and submitted to the organizing committee for review."

Although Wu Yuchen and Lao Mouzi's plan won, it does not mean that this is the final plan. Now the creative team has just expanded a lot. The first thing to do is to re-discuss the plan led by Wu Yuchen and Lao Mouzi. Every program must be discussed once. If there are problems, they must be improved or directly replaced.

"It will take 5 months. In the first month, we will discuss and decide on the general plan and find out the programs with problems or disputes. In the middle two months, we will conduct preliminary practical attempts on these pending programs and problems. In the last two months, we will decide on the final plan. Do you have any questions?"

"Director Wu, you are the chief director, we will do as you say!"

Wu Yuchen smiled when he heard this. This meeting is not just a simple meeting. Although many people just responded verbally, expressing their obedience to Wu Yuchen and Director Lao Mouzi, they will definitely face various criticisms during the discussion of this program.

This new creative team has many members from teams that failed in the previous election. To be honest, those plans were also made by them with great effort. Of course, there are many good points and highlights in them. They are all confident in their own programs.

Now they have to re-negotiate the general plan, which is their opportunity. Although the plan of Wu Yuchen and his team is the main one, as long as some programs can be found to have problems, they can be replaced with their programs!

In the previous life, although Lao Mouzi was elected as the chief director, he could not do what he said, especially because he was criticized so harshly for the black 8 minutes before, which was actually a bit difficult to convince the public and faced a lot of difficulties. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Lao Mouzi also spent a long time to really integrate the team into one force.

But now there is another Wu Yuchen in the position of chief director. His various achievements and aura are more powerful than Lao Mouzi, and he can control the situation. In fact, Wu Yuchen knew that the hardest part was the first hurdle. As long as the final plan was decided, the overall situation would be difficult to change. No one would have any objections when it came to the implementation stage, and everyone would work hard naturally.

However, now that it has really come to the discussion stage of the plan, there will be many people who will find fault. The first program that has just been launched has been questioned by many people.

"Director Wu, the program "Singing while Beating the Drum" seems interesting and creative at first glance, but there are many problems in its implementation!

First of all, let me say one thing. According to my understanding, the instrument of the drum has been lost for a long time and only exists in ancient books. Nowadays, we not only don’t know what the drum looks like, but it is also difficult to find the percussion method of the drum, and we don’t even know what the sound of beating the drum is. How can this be solved?"

Once one person spoke, the second, third, fourth, and fifth people came:

"Director Wu, 2008 people once Let's start with beating the drums. I won't talk about the sound of the drums. Your proposal describes the drum-like sound, so let's assume it's beating the drums. This is not 28 people, nor 208 people, but 2008 people. If one person makes a mistake in the drum sound, it can be heard. 2008 people beating the drums in unison, this risk is a bit high!

In the past, we could do lip-syncing in vocal programs to reduce the risk, but we can't play the recording of the drums when we are beating them, right? "

Everyone talked about the problems of the "beating drums and singing" program.
