Once Zhang Yimou intervened, things became different.
Originally, Bi Feiyu and Zhang Xian thought that Zhang Yimou would not put too much effort into directing the opening ceremony of their school's school sports meeting.
But what they didn't expect was that after Zhang Yimou took the job, he became completely active.
The first step was to form a directing team with Zhang Xian, Bi Feiyu, Liu Changmin and Cheng Yanqiu, with himself as the director.
Originally, Zhang Yimou wanted to involve Yu Dong and make him a literary general consultant, but Yu Dong didn't do it.
Seeing that Yu Dong disagreed, Zhang Yimou said, "This is your department's work. You, the deputy director of the department, can't do anything? No, you must have someone from your family."
Then Cheng Yanqiu was pulled in.
Later, Yu Dong realized that Zhang Yimou had never thought of asking him to be a literary consultant. From the beginning, Zhang Yimou's purpose was to drag Cheng Yanqiu into it.
After all, their directing team already has the writer Bi Feiyu, but they need experts in other fields, such as the pianist Cheng Yanqiu.
The directing team was established, but this was not over yet. Zhang Yimou recruited a dozen students from the school to form a pre-production creative team.
Seeing Zhang Yimou's energy, Bi Feiyu and the others were a little surprised. They didn't expect that a small opening ceremony of a school sports meeting could make Zhang Yimou so energetic.
At the same time, they also saw how crazy Zhang Yimou was at work.
This guy held meetings with the creative team during the day, and the meetings lasted for several hours. At night, he stayed at his residence to study until late at night.
During this time, he lived in Zhang Xian's house. The school assigned Zhang Xian an apartment, but Zhang Xian's wife did not come, so Zhang Xian was the only one in the family.
After a week of this, Zhang Xian went to Yu Dong to complain.
"Yu Yuanwai, I can't bear it anymore."
When Zhang came first, Yu Dong was still revising the script of "Golden Dreamland". Seeing his bitter look, he asked, "What's the matter? Are there any problems with the opening ceremony?"
"That's not true, it's Director Zhang." Zhang Xian walked up to Yu Dong and pointed to his eyes: "Look at the bags and dark circles under my eyes. Director Zhang's work status is too crazy. I doubt that he will be there all day long.
I only sleep for two or three hours, sometimes even just one or two hours."
Yu Dong had known about Zhang Yimou's lack of education for a long time. He smiled and said, "Did he bother you?"
"That's not true. Isn't this opening ceremony our job originally? Now seeing that he didn't even sleep for this matter, I was a little embarrassed, so I just stayed with him for a while at night. At first, I thought it would be done until 11 or 12 o'clock.
That's about it. Who knows, he has to go to bed at two or three o'clock at the earliest, and sometimes he doesn't even go to bed until four or five o'clock. The next day he gets up early, as early as six or seven o'clock. I even suspect that he is
Not human. If this continues, the bags under my eyes will be able to hold a bowl of water."
Yu Dong said with a smile: "Old Zhang, don't blame others for anything. You are born with bags under your eyes. You have them a long time ago."
"Let you go...I used to have bags under my eyes, how can they be so thick?"
"Okay, okay." Yu Dong waved his hand: "You brought this on yourself, and he didn't ask you to accompany him, right? It's because you can't save your face, so you have to accompany him."
Zhang Xian said angrily, "I don't think he lives with you."
"Then I'll arrange another place for him?" Yu Dong said.
"No, no, no, no." Zhang Xian waved his hands quickly: "This is inappropriate."
Yu Dong rolled his eyes: "Then why did you come to me? Want me to persuade him to sleep more? Do you think it's possible?"
Zhang Xian sighed: "I didn't ask you to do anything, so I came here to complain to you."
"You have time to chat with me here, why not go catch up on some sleep."
"I'm having trouble sleeping. I can't sleep now."
Yu Dong shook his head and continued to look at his script: "I think you're still not sleepy enough."
…
It was not just Zhang Xian who was affected by Zhang Yimou. His crazy work status made many people very stressed, especially the students who were recruited.
Attentive students discovered that there were many more pandas in the school during this period.
Panda is the students who were recruited.
When these students were first recruited, they were extremely happy. They thought that this opening ceremony would not require them to do anything. It was just an opportunity to learn in front of the master.
But after they arrived, they discovered that, unlike what they had thought before, Zhang Yimou did not leave them idle at all. It was said to be a creative team, and all of them must contribute ideas.
Moreover, if they give one, Zhang Yimou will reject one, and if he rejects one, he will give another one.
Each and every one of them had dark circles under their eyes and turned into pandas.
Yu Dong went to the temporary office of their creative team on the way and saw a row of pandas sitting there. He laughed heartlessly and said to Zhang Xian: "Suddenly, I thought I was at the Chengdu Zoo.
I think you don’t want to call it the Creative Team, just the Panda Team.”
After the students heard this, the name Panda Squad was also used by them, and privately they all called themselves members of the Panda Squad.
…
In fact, the preliminary work is not the most troublesome, the real troublesome thing is the rehearsal in the later stage.
Zhang Yimou's program arrangement this time was very large within a limited scope, using a lot of people, and directly mobilized more than half of the students in Jinyi School.
Each department and major has its own things to do, such as painting, playing the piano, and singing.
There was a part in the opening ceremony where the school song was sung, but Jinyi did not have a school song. Later, it was decided that because the school’s predecessor was Shanghai Art College, the school song of Shanghai Art College was temporarily chosen as the school song of Jinyi for this school sports.
Will be used.
The school song of the Shanghai Art College has no name. Wu Changxin suggested that Yu Donglai come up with a name, and Yu Dong suggested "I Love My Alma Mater for Ten Thousand Years." The title of the song seemed ordinary, but everyone later adopted it.
In addition, the original score of this song was not suitable for singing, so the school decided to have it recomposed.
Finally, the music was composed by Wang Jianyuan, assistant director of the Music Department, and Cheng Yanqiu, associate professor of the Music Department.
After this song is written, it will be in the trial stage. After the end of this semester, opinions will be solicited. If most people approve, then this song will eventually be designated as Jinyi's school song.
In fact, in addition to the song title and composition, the lyrics have also been changed.
The lyrics were finally changed by Yu Dong, and others were embarrassed to change them. After all, the original lyrics were written by Principal Cai Yuanpei himself.
Chapter completed!
