Jinyi's school sports meeting starts on November 1st, so Zhang Yimou only has one month to plan the opening ceremony.
It is certainly not an easy task to design the entire opening ceremony within one month and then mobilize so many people to rehearse the program.
However, Zhang Yimou's business ability is nothing to say, and he still completed it brilliantly.
On November 1st, the entire Jinyi Festival became very lively, and almost everyone rushed to the playground. Even if there was no room for standing in the playground, the students would stand on the edge of the playground and watch closely.
On the podium, there were many more people watching the ceremony than in previous years.
Because Zhang Yimou was invited by chance this year, Wu Changxin specially invited leaders from other schools in Jinling to Jinling to watch the ceremony, including Qu Jinyue, the president of Jinling University, and Cheng Liye, Yu Dong's father-in-law. In addition to Jinling University,
People from other schools also came, some from the principal himself, and some from other school leaders.
Seeing the many cameras arranged on the field, Qu Jinyue sighed with some envy: "Principal Wu, your school is very capable. Just bring out one of these cameras and it will be a big deal."
"This is also thanks to Shen Kong and Director Zhang. In previous years, our opening ceremony only arranged a few broken cameras to take pictures. How could we have such a battle?"
Qu Jinyue shook her head and sighed, "Our school's current opening ceremony of the school sports meeting still only has a few cameras to take pictures."
Wu Changxin laughed and looked at Cheng Liye next to Qu Jinyue, "Principal Qu, you have resources but don't know how to use them."
Of course Qu Jinyue understood what Wu Changxin meant. He smiled and said: "I have thanked Director Cheng for a lot of blessings. It was also thanks to Yu Dong that we were able to invite Clezio and the others last time. Oh, by the way, I heard that your school
Did you decide on a school song? Did you use an old song from the Shanghai Art College?"
Wu Changxin nodded and replied: "It's an old song newly made, using part of Principal Cai's lyrics, and then asked a teacher from our school to compose the music. Speaking of which, I have to thank Director Cheng. Director Cheng's daughter also contributed to the composition of the music.
Involved."
Cheng Liye glanced at Wu Changxin: "Old Wu, don't do this with us. I've also read the music composed by Yanqiu and the others, but I haven't heard it yet. I want to hear your school song live today."
"That's naturally good."
While several people were chatting, Qu Jinyue stretched her head and looked at the audience, "When will the ceremony start?"
Wu Changxin looked at his watch: "It's almost time, it officially starts at nineteen nineteen minutes and twelve seconds."
"Is there anything special about being so precise?" Cheng Liye asked.
"Our school was founded in 1912, so the time is set at nineteen minutes and twelve seconds. In addition, the entire ceremony will last a full eighty-five minutes, symbolizing that our school has experienced eighty-five years of ups and downs.
Isn’t it the 85th anniversary of our school on the 8th of the month? We don’t want to bother, so we just do it together.”
"Eighty-five minutes." Qu Jinyue said in surprise: "Can it be so accurate?"
"I don't know, but I heard it is possible."
In fact, Wu Changxin knew whether it could be done. He was present at the last few rehearsals of the ceremony. Except for one accident that took three minutes longer than expected, the other rehearsals were completed in eighty-five minutes.
But it was hard for him to finish his words, otherwise it would be a bit embarrassing if something unexpected happened later.
Hearing what Wu Changxin said, the leaders of other schools also became very interested in the following ceremony. They wanted to see what fun the opening ceremony of a school sports meeting could bring.
…
The leaders were watching leisurely on the stage, but the staff on the field were already busy like crazy.
"No. 9, No. 9, there is something wrong with the position of Nine Bar Thirteen. It's too far to the left. Go and have a look."
"Received on the 9th, received on the 9th."
"No. 15, what's going on at Seven Bars and Twenty-One? The props are wrong."
"Received on the 15th, I'll go deal with it now."
"No. 4, check the props of six-bar-five, six-bar-six, and six-bar-seven. Their groups use the most props. Make sure there are no accidents with the props."
"Received on the 4th, confirmed, confirmed."
"Attention all, there are still six minutes and thirty seconds before the ceremony starts. No. 5, check the speakers."
Yu Dong stood next to Zhang Yimou, watching him constantly making arrangements with the walkie-talkie, and he became a little nervous.
Before, even when watching the Olympic Games opening ceremony on TV, Yu Dong was not so nervous. Now that he is behind the scenes, the feeling is completely different.
Everyone behind the scenes was nervous, fearing that something might go wrong.
They have been working hard for a month. If something goes wrong at this time, it will be a pity for everyone who has worked hard.
Although this is only the opening ceremony of the school sports meeting, everyone attaches great importance to it. In the past month, they have worked hard and paid a lot for this ceremony.
Time moved forward slowly, and soon it reached the final stage. Zhang Yimou picked up the walkie-talkie again and said: "Everyone check the time, it is nine seventeen minutes and 38 seconds. Everyone pay attention to the top of the rostrum, pay attention to the top of the rostrum
."
Above the rostrum, there is a person standing on the ceiling. After a while, this person will perform countdown scheduling.
Until nine o'clock, ten minutes and one second, a long and dull horn sound suddenly sounded on the field.
When everyone heard this horn, both on and off the court, they all focused their attention.
The horn always reminds people of the battlefield.
For all the staff on the field, today’s Jinyi playground is their battlefield.
After the horn sounded, a deep voice sounded from the loudspeaker, coming from Zhang Yimou.
"1--"
The audience on the podium noticed that when "1" came out from the loudspeaker, the team on the field suddenly changed.
Everyone in the array raised a piece of cloth and put it together. Most people had white cloth in their hands, and a few people had red cloth. These red cloths formed a red "1" in the middle of the white cloth.
"2--"
The array changed accordingly, and the number instantly changed from "1" to "2". People on the sidelines felt the tense atmosphere, and many people couldn't help but shout along with the speakers.
"3——"
"4——"
"5——"
…
After everyone shouted "10" together, a line of numbers appeared on the white background in the array: 1912.12.08.
All gold artists know what this row of numbers represents.
The predecessor of their school, Shanghai Normal College, was founded in 1912, which was also the founding date of their gold art school. Later, on December 8, 1952, Shanghai Art College, Suzhou Art College and Shandong University Art Department Fine Arts and Music Department
After the merger after the war, this day has become the anniversary day of Jinyi.
This string of numbers appeared for a few seconds and then disappeared.
Chapter completed!
