This star is too fierce

Chapter 394 Can't do it without you!

Although Lu Bu and Zhang Yimou met for the first time, they didn't feel that strange. After shaking hands, they exchanged various business ideas.

"Okay, you guys are chatting here, I went to the set to have a show." Chen Daoming left knowingly, he knew Zhang Yimou's purpose of coming to find Lu Bu was a confidential matter, and staying by himself would hinder them.

"Thank you, Daomin." Zhang Yimou thanked him.

"You are polite to me." Chen Daoming said with a smile.

After the others left, Zhang Yimou went straight to the point and said to Lu Bu: "I was lucky enough to be elected as the chief director of the opening ceremony of the 2008 Yanjing Olympic Games. I am currently preparing for the program. This time I came here to invite you to participate."

Lu Bu was stunned, a little surprised.

When I first saw Zhang Yimou just now, I thought he was here to film a movie, and I even prepared my speech.

As a result, it is not.

The Olympic Opening Ceremony is the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. It is a grand event full of solemnity and ceremonies.

The opening ceremony of each Olympic Games is hosted by the host country or city. This is a rare opportunity to show the world the culture, history, customs and artistic level of the country or city, and it is also a place for athletes, coaches and officials from various countries to communicate with each other , A platform for understanding and friendly exchanges.

Opening ceremonies in different countries and cities have different features and highlights, but generally include the following parts.

1. National flag entrance ceremony. Delegations from all participating countries and regions enter the arena one after another. Each delegation is led by a flag bearer wearing a national flag. The national flag represents the unique culture and historical tradition of a country.

2. Theatrical performances. The cultural performances in the opening ceremony are one of the highlights of the entire ceremony, covering music, singing and dancing, acrobatics, drama and other art forms to showcase the cultural and artistic level of the host country or city.

3. The Olympic torch is lit. The meaning and performance of the Olympic opening ceremony is not only a grand cultural exchange and sports feast, but also an important platform for a country and region to display its own culture, history and strength. Therefore, the opening ceremony of each Olympic Games All have attracted much attention, and the international community hopes to have a glimpse of the cultural treasures of all countries in this grand ceremony.

In short, the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games is not only an important part of sports events, but also an important platform for a country and region to showcase its culture and strength.

And Zhang Yimou is a low-key guy. He once called himself a "ordinary person". In movies, he is just a stupid bird flying first, and often defines many things as "farmers' practices".

After receiving the letter of appointment as chief director of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games, the core creative team had just been established, so he opened his mind and casually proposed a torch shape and ignition plan, which directly scared everyone.

He felt that the bird's nest under construction should be named "Phoenix Nest".

First of all, the meaning is good, implying that China flies from here.

Secondly, the torch is shaped like a feather of a phoenix, and the feathers are fluttering, passing the five continents.

Finally, the feathers flying across the world, burning around the field, flew to a specific position high up, at this time the torch tower was created out of nothing, and the bottom of the torch slowly unfolded like a folding fan, wedged in like a mortise and tenon, eliminating the risk of misfire up.

Such a well-structured conception is not only coherent but also romantic. There are a lot of ideas like this at first glance, but after weighing with many parties, most of them were overthrown.

In fact, Zhang Yimou is not born with a big brain, but has been digging his own brain.

During the preparation of the show, his filming of "Golden Flowers in the City" is also starting to shoot.

The creative team went to the set together. After he finished filming a segment, he found an empty house to talk about creativity with them, and both sides worked together.

It can be said that Zhang Yimou has been thinking about it all the time since he received the job of opening and closing ceremonies.

At the beginning of his creativity, he sought innovation and change, trying to make the audience who are accustomed to watching traditional large-scale evening shows feel fresh.

To put it simply, it is three words - different.

"I watched the live broadcast of the Asian Games, and your archery skills are very good. I just watched your filming, and your riding skills are also very good. I think it can be applied to the opening ceremony." Zhang Yimou already had a creative picture in his mind. Wearing armor, riding a horse under his crotch, holding a bow and arrow, galloping around the field, the five arrows hit the five rings falling in the air one by one, and nailed them to the torch. Finally, they just lined up to form the five Olympic rings, and the torch was ignited instantly.

"As long as Director Zhang needs me, he will go through fire and water." Lu Bu didn't hesitate at all. Although he could attend the opening ceremony as an athlete, his sense of participation was equal to zero. If there is a program that can be shown, a fool will refuse.

"I am also very familiar with Director Gao and Director Zhao. They all told me that you are very good at our country's traditional culture and historical culture, and have restored many ancient costumes, utensils, and wars..." Zhang Yimou said again.

"I have a little understanding, but I like to study and toss around blindly, and I know more about people before the Three Kingdoms." Lu Bu said modestly.

"Then, do you know 'Fou'?" Zhang Yimou asked.

"Fou?" Lu Bu asked back.

"Yes, there is an idiom called 'singing while hitting the pot', which means ancient times..." Zhang Yimou was explaining.

"I've seen pottery wine vessels with big bellies and small mouths." Lu Bu interrupted him.

"Have you seen it?" Zhang Yimou asked suspiciously.

"Oh, what I mean is, I saw it in an ancient book." Lu Bu hurriedly gave a reason.

"What book?" Zhang Yimou asked.

That's important because it's been months and the team hasn't made progress on the opening show.

Usually the first program of a large party, please be lively.

And this lively, one depends on singing and dancing, and the other depends on gongs and drums.

He wants the buzz, but not the drums.

The reason is that this is all worn out.

For this reason, he even showed everyone the Marlboro commercial video he shot many years ago as a negative teaching material. The drums in it shook the sky, and every beat drew his disgusted and contemptuous eyes.

Although he doesn't want drums, he wants an instrument that has the same effect as drumming.

Someone nominated, fan, thousands of people raised their fans, swish swish swish, but they were not strong enough to keep up.

Someone else nominated, chopping off the butt of the gun, thousands of people are like pile drivers, boom boom boom, the power is enough, but there is nothing new.

In this regard, he once again emphasized a general direction, not how new it is, but whether it has never been seen before.

After discussion, an ancient musical instrument was found, good luck.

Not to mention never seen this, almost never heard of it.

But the wish shape is like a funnel, there is no surface, and it can only be hit left and right.

Can a drumhead be covered?Anyway, China no longer has living body inheritance that can blind people.

So a music historian was called in to argue, but when the experts heard it, they directly said that this was misleading, because the neighboring South Korea and other three countries still have the living inheritance of Zhu, and they would be laughed at if they did so.

Just when he couldn't go on, he thought of an idiom - hit the pot and sing.

What is fou?I have only heard it, never seen it, and there is no living body inheritance, so it will not attract criticism no matter what it looks like.

And just now he just asked Lu Bu casually, but he didn't expect there to be a surprise.

Lu Bu was questioned, he is nonsense, where is there any book, fou is something that began to exist in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, and it has not been lost in his time, but it cannot be said that he has seen it with his own eyes. Bite the bullet and said: "I forgot what book, but I can draw what I see."

Hearing this, Zhang Yimou was dubious, and took out a pen and paper from his backpack and handed it over.

Lu Bu immediately took the pen and paper and started to draw.

Zhang Yimou has actually seen it. There are pottery fou and copper fou in the collection of Shaanxi History Museum, but they are not "fou" that "beat the fou and sing". No one knows, and there is no record of how to hit the fou.

After a while, Lu Bu put down his pen, pushed the paper over, and said, "It's probably like this."

Zhang Yimou picked it up for a closer look, and blurted out, "It's different from the unearthed one."

Lu Bu raised his eyebrows, you asked me to draw after you saw it, and asked immediately, "What does it look like when it's unearthed?"

Zhang Yimou picked up the pen and began to draw again.

Lu Bu took a rough look, and said, "You are Zun Fou and Wash Fou, with a small mouth and a big belly, similar to pots and jars. As the name suggests, Zun Fou is for holding wine, and Wash Fou is for bathing. This one is 'Le Fou', it's square in shape, like a box, and it's for playing."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yimou excitedly said, "Really?"

Lu Bu said solemnly: "Of course it is true, can I joke with you about this kind of thing?"

Zhang Yimou hurriedly asked, "How did you play it?"

Lu Bu used both hands and mouth, gesticulating while explaining, "That's it..."

Zhang Yimou and the others have also studied it, maybe using hands, maybe using a mallet, maybe tapping the mouth of the device, or hitting the body of the device, but these ways of hitting the fou are all reasoned on the basis of respecting the fou and washing the fou. But now seeing Lu Bu's demonstration, there was a feeling of enlightenment, and he immediately asked, "Where's the sound?"

Lu Bu thought for a moment, then said: "Rough and powerful, between bells and drums."

Zhang Yimou's eyes lit up, this is what he wanted, and he said happily: "Thank you, you have helped me a lot."

Lu Bu smiled lightly and said, "Efforts made with a single hand are nothing to worry about."

Zhang Yimou gained something and was in a great mood, and asked again: "Can you practice Tai Chi?"

Lu Bu said concisely: "Yes."

Zhang Yimou touched his forehead and fell into the trouble of happiness.

I also want Lu Bu to hold a lighting ceremony...

I also think of Lu Bu as the leader of the opening countdown to hit the fou...

I also think of Lu Bu singing "The Analects" in movable type printing...

I also want Lu Bu to participate in Tai Chi performances...

I still want Lu Bu to sing the Olympic theme song...

Can't do without you!
For the next three hours, the two chatted in various ways.

Zhang Yimou has benefited a lot, and even feels that Lu Bu is more professional than those so-called "experts".

Is this 26 years old?

Is this a high school graduate?
As for Lu Bu, he just felt dry mouth and in a good mood.

He likes to talk about traditional culture, history and culture, especially with those who understand.

It's one of the joys of his life.

In the end, Zhang Yimou didn't specify which program he would invite Lu Bu to participate in, but he was appointed.

In addition, he also reminded him that some of what we talked about today involves the idea of ​​the opening ceremony, so don't spread it to outsiders.

Lu Bu is so strict with his mouth, what he can't say is that Yu Feihong and the others will not say it when they are together.

There is still some sense of proportion.

After seeing off Zhang Yimou and returning to the set, Lu Bu first apologized to Gao Xixi and Zhao Jian for the delay of the whole afternoon due to personal matters.

Gao Xixi and Zhao Jian expressed their understanding, and when they approached him, they knew that various things would happen during the filming.

In the evening, a group of people watched TV at Lu Bu's residence.

It's only been a week since the new year, and the major TV stations have presented their new year dramas to the audience one after another.

The first is CCTV's "Zhenguan Long Song".

It was launched in 04 and completed in 06. It took two years to film this drama. Is this the spirit of craftsmanship?
The leading actors Tang Yuqiang, Chen Baoguo, and Zhang Tielin are all first-class famous actors, plus Liu Yubin, Sun Feihu, Wu Liping, who have been on CCTV for many years, and new stars such as Nie Yuan and Zhang Danfeng. The cast is gorgeous and dazzling.

Then Hunan TV's "Da Ming Dynasty 1566".

As a "serious drama", although not all of it is based on historical facts, it is largely in line with historical facts. The characters, plots, and so-called Taoist costumes in it are all very delicate. The episode looks like a short movie, and its high level can be called a drama.

But it is a bit "popular but not popular". The ratings in 31 cities across the country are only 0.61%, and the ratings share is 2.07%, ranking 8th in the country at the same time.

Finally, "The Sheep-herding Star" by Yanjing TV.

In Lu Bu's second idol drama, there are rumored girlfriends Gao Yuanyuan and Jia Jingwen starring in the first and second female roles. It's hard not to watch it.

Moreover, "Full House" made a good start, showing the audience a different idol drama, which made "The Star Herding Sheep" attract a lot of attention, and the ratings of the first broadcast exceeded 10%.

"Second brother, did you have a car accident while filming this movie?" Qin Lan recalled the news at that time.

"Well, the car lost control and hit a mountain." Lu Bu said lightly.

"It hit the mountain at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour, which scared us all." Gao Yuanyuan recalled the scene and still had lingering fears.

"Racing cars are still dangerous. I usually don't dare to drive too fast." Zhang Jin saw a lot of news about drag racing crashes.

"You have to pay attention to this. There are tens of thousands of roads, and safety is the first. The driving is not standardized, and the relatives are crying." Zhao Jian said one by one.

"I understand." Lu Bu knew the value of life better than anyone else.

And the TV series he filmed with a very dedicated attitude is slowly gaining popularity.

"That's right. It's much better than those other vulgar and nympho dramas in Baodao Province. The theme song "Our Remembrance" is really nice."

"It looks good. I watch the TV on time every day. The second brother is really handsome. Gao Yuanyuan and Jia Jingwen are also very beautiful. It's difficult to choose again."

"Although there are bloody plots such as working with an ex-girlfriend and fighting between brothers, but fortunately, the rhythm is tight, and there is almost no nonsense throughout the whole process. The cool points alternate with each other, making people want to stop watching."

"The difference from the general Taiwan idol drama is that it is more realistic, close to life, very romantic and very interesting."

"The appearance of the second brother driving the racing car is so charming. It is said that he participated in the battle himself, so I must give a good review."

"It's not bad, and there are quite a few routines in it. It's because the actors' acting skills are online, and they won't make people play."
