Last week, he complained about the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, "Don't be afraid this is the opening ceremony, not a horror movie", which is really the worst opening ceremony of the Olympic Games until now.
Some people say that this opening ceremony is to commemorate the death of the new crown, so it is particularly simple and low-key, but is this really the case?
In fact, before March 2021, the design of the Tokyo opening ceremony is a visual feast that combines science fiction, anime, and culture.
Note that the time is before March 2021, when the epidemic has been happening for a year, and Japan still holds a grand opening ceremony according to the original design.
So why did it become this hades later?
Don't think the Japanese are so noble, not because Japan wants to commemorate the death of the new crown, but because the old and immortal politicians in the Japanese political circles continue to intervene in the Olympic choreography and constantly break out political black gold events, and finally let the original science fiction version be completely overthrown and changed to the hades version.
The culprits behind this are the three
1, Former Prime Minister of Japan, Yoshiro Mori.
2, the current Prime Minister of Japan, Yoshihide Suga.
3, Yuriko Koike, Governor of Kyoto.
When some Chinese friends were still touting how good Japan's "Hades Opening Ceremony" was, the well-known Japanese publication "Weekly Wenchun" pulled off the bottom pants of the Hades Olympics.
Let's take a closer look:
Before June 2019, Japan was ambitious and formed a large opening ceremony team, led by a 54-year-old Japanese national treasure artist, Nomura Mansai.
Nomura Sentai the design to the then chairman of the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee, Yoshiro Mori, who was in his 80s and was the most typical of Japan's old politicians.
Let Yoshiro Mori come to be the chairman of the Olympic Organizing Committee, you talk to him about science fiction, talk about the sense of the future, he can't listen to it at all.
Yoshiro Mori threw away Nomura Mansai's design and then proposed three:
First, I want to have Godzilla.
Second, I want to have a tea room in the air.
Third, I want to have Ichikawa Kailaozo.
Godzilla (born in 1954) is Yoshiro Mori's favorite monster character when he was young and a monster symbol in Japan.
The tea room, that is the Japanese tea ceremony culture, but Mori Yoshiro wants an air tea room, imitating the ancient Babylonian miracle, the appearance of the hanging garden, and making an air tea room.
As for Ichikawa Kailaozo, he is a famous Japanese Kabuki actor, which is equivalent to the status of the most famous Peking Opera actor in China.
Because of these three requirements, Nomura Mansai and Yoshiro Mori have a fierce conflict, and the old leader wants to impose the project into it, so that once it is added, the overall sense of science and technology will be destroyed.
There is no way but to add it hard.
But everything else is easy to say, it is this Godzilla, and it is not possible to go in.
Why? You think, Godzilla is a monster that appears after being contaminated with nuclear radiation, and Godzilla is directly related to nuclear explosion and nuclear pollution.
You made a Godzilla at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, isn't that slapping yourself in the mouth?
Fukushima nuclear pollution, the discharge of nuclear wastewater, these things are easy to associate with Godzilla.
But Yoshiro Mori still insisted that Godzilla is also Japanese culture, and in the end, the big leader and the opening ceremony team were really unhappy, so they had to disperse unhappily.
In June 2019, Japan's most famous artist, Nomura Mansai, was angry and ran away, (you can imagine, this is equivalent to the Beijing Olympics, Zhang Yimou rolled up his sleeves, Lao Tzu did not do that feeling.) ）
After Nomura Mansai ran away, he was replaced by Mizuno Tsukiko, MIKIKO, 44 years old, and this place is called Mizuno.
Mizuno is also a planner for major shows, planning Lady Gaga's concerts, and at the closing ceremony of the 2016 Rio Olympics, she arranged the 8 minutes in Japan that surprised everyone.
It was the performance where Abe came to Brazil wearing a Mario hat.
Mizuno is good at combining anime and sci-fi elements, and can be said to be the perfect candidate to succeed Nomura Mansai.
So since July 2019, Mizuno has taken over all the opening ceremony work, but this time is also very tight, july 2019, only one year from the opening ceremony of 2020.
It is not easy to prepare for a grand opening ceremony in a year.
But Mizuno still took over the burden, and the following design plan flowing out from the inside was the original opening plan designed by Mizuno's team.
In the first paragraph of the opening ceremony, the AR technology of augmented reality is used to build a sci-fi virtual world, with a milky white ring covering the stage in the middle of the stage, and a red motorcycle rushing into the field and circling around this circle.
The number next to it is the countdown to the beginning of the opening ceremony.
This red motorcycle is exquisite, it is a motorcycle driven by the protagonist in the famous Japanese science fiction manga "Akira".
Japan's three major science fiction manga, Akira, Dream, and Ghost in the Shell, the story of Akira takes place in Tokyo.
Akira is a god who predicted that Tokyo would host the Olympic Games in 2020, and then predicted that the Olympic Games would not be able to be done because of unexpected events.
Of course, in 2019, Mizuno didn't think so much, and directly arranged for Akira to play, allowing the audience to follow this legendary motorcycle and enjoy the street scene of Tokyo with the help of the virtual reality of the scene.
It's like you're going to see New York, Spider-Man takes you around, Tokyo, Akira takes you through.
Accompanied by Akira's motorcycle, the ring in the middle of the venue slowly opened, and on the stage in the ring was the famous Japanese girl group Perfume.
The music starts and the dynamic singing and dancing begins.
With the sound of singing and motorcycles, the entire floor of the stage will be lifted when the ring is opened, and the ground will be lifted along with the full three-dimensional presentation of the scenery of the Streets and Subway in Tokyo below.
At this time, the flame motorcycle stopped, and the driver turned out to be a famous Japanese male singer and dancer, Miura Daichi, Miura Daichi began to dance with the whole audience.
The overall dance feel, similar to this sci-fi feeling in the eight minutes of Tokyo,
The camera then focuses on Miura's face, which slowly transforms into a tree root, which grows toward the sky.
The roots of the tree grow upwards, representing the vitality of new Tokyo.
During the growth of the roots, actress Tsuchiya Taiho and dancer "Tomohiko Tsujimoto" have an elegant double dance.
The roots that finally grew upwards grew into the shape of a tea room in the air.
That's right, it is the "sky tea room" that simulates the ancient Babylonian hanging garden, and it is the air tea room that the old leader "Mori Yoshiro" has in mind.
Then begin to showcase the Japanese tea ceremony culture, which is performed by the dancer "Sugahara Koharu".
By the way, the original group of people who danced in the air tea room was later preserved, but instead of dancing the elegant dance of the tea room, it was changed to modern dance, which became like this.
This difference is not a little bit.
After the air tea room is displayed, the whole audience will darken, then a crisp bell sound, and the spotlight will slowly gather to the center of the stage.
Japan began to showcase kendo culture.
Artist Moriyama Mirai, armed with a lightsaber, appears for a traditional Japanese kendo performance, and every time it cuts a knife, a geometric sword wave will appear on the floor, and the sword qi wave will push out like a wave.
Finally, Moriyama's future lightsaber was inserted into the center of the stage, and the powerful sword qi wave light and shadow rushed to all directions of the stage.
I have to say that this picture is very shocking to think about.
Finally, the sword qi waves rushing in all directions "destroyed" the stage, and the opening ceremony entered the second stage:
review
The sword faded, and the stage changed to the 1964 Tokyo Olympics.
The classic pictures of the old Dong'ao are displayed, from the successful olympic bid to the hard preparations, to the opening ceremony in 1964, and finally the competition screen, the award screen, and the touching picture of that year.
Reflecting the passage of time, from 1964 to 2020, Japan has set out again with a new hope.
After the classic picture review is completed, the famous Japanese female comedian "Naomi Watanabe" appeared, and behind it was a big English word, READY?
Following the moment, the space-time background pulls back to the present, all the dancers reunite on the stage, and the athletes begin to enter.
When the athletes enter, the stage becomes a virtual map of the world of light and shadow, and the players stand on the mainland of their own country.
Then there's another passage here that will be very exciting, but it's not published in weekly Bunchun, but it's coming out on Japanese radio.
When players from various countries take the stage, Japan will arrange an anime leader for each country.
The Japanese team leader we saw a week ago was like this.
Notice the lady in the lower right corner, who holds up the sign in her hand, which is in the form of a comic dialog box and types the name of the country.
The original design was to let an anime character hold up that sign and lead the national teams to play.
The arrangement for the Chinese team is Sun Wukong in the Dragon Ball. After all, the inspiration for the character of Sun Wukong comes from Chinese culture.
That is, Sun Wukong went to hold up the "People's Republic of China" and then entered.
This is still quite creative, really let Sun Wukong to hold, that must have caused a heated discussion.
The anime team leader designed for the American team is the Kusanagi Suzi of "Empty Shell Mobile Team".
In addition, the British team was designed by detective Conan, after all, the power of speculative fiction is Britain.
However, the design is a large version of Shinichi Kudo, not Conan.
It's interesting to think about, but unfortunately, these things have been deleted, and in the end, only the sign that is represented in the form of comic dialogue has been retained.
After all the athletes appeared, the world map stage under their feet became a peace dove flying, and at the same time, more paper airplanes symbolizing peace were scattered in the air of the stage, interacting into a picture of "paper airplanes" and "peace doves".
Next, there's the showcasing the athletics, which is given to Nintendo, who will use all of its classic game characters to make CG demonstrations of Olympic events.
For example, you let Mario go swimming, Pikachu go for a run, or let Mori go weightlifting, and Let Kirby go high jump
Anyway let the Nintendo game characters go and show off all the Olympic athletics
In this way, it is considered to be a series of invitations issued by Abe to disguise himself as Mario and go to Rio, which can be regarded as a beginning and end echo.
However, this wonderful link was finally deleted and changed to the "super change" we later saw.
It's not that super change is not good, super change is also very good, but compared with the original design, there is obviously a sense of cheapness of temporary addition to the number.
It's this show, it's wonderful, but it doesn't match the tone of a big show like the Olympics.
This is not the original intention of the designers at the beginning, and the super change is really a temporary performance.
Because all the above designs were completely overturned in March 2021.
Speaking of the time point, in March 2021, when the epidemic has been breaking out for a year, Japan still hopes to use this grand opening ceremony full of science fiction and anime elements, rather than the last hades opening ceremony.
So why were all these things overthrown in the end?
Again, because of political strife and the black-gold scandal.
Remember the Tokyo Olympic Committee president Yoshiro Mori, who later resigned for insulting women?
This old man wants three things, Godzilla, the Air Tea Room, and the Ichikawa Kailao.
This Godzilla is really not suitable for the Olympics because it is related to nuclear pollution, and the air tea room, the director arranged for him, as for Ichikawa Kailaozo, he quarreled again.
Ichikawa Kailaozo is a famous kabuki character, Ichikawa Kailaozo has just become the 13th generation of the regimental leader, and Mori Yoshiro has a very good relationship, Mori Yoshiro patted the table and promised that he would definitely bring Ichikawa Kailaozo into the Olympic Games.
And also to design and put the piano music together to perform.
Please, this thing, performed with piano music? Is it so hot eyes?
Because the art of Kabuki in Japan and the science fiction anime culture of the entire opening ceremony are completely incompatible, it is difficult to integrate it
That fusion of piano music and kabuki performances is the only way.
Imagine a woman playing the piano while Ichikawa Kairo hides in a kabuki performance.
It's like singing Peking Opera with the accompaniment of the piano, I don't know what Mori Yoshiro thinks in his head.
In addition to Kabuki, Yoshiro Mori is here again in 2020, and he says how can the Olympics not be sumo? Sumo wrestling should also be added!
It turned out that before Mori Yoshiro participated in the celebration of sumo champion Bai Peng's 1,000 victories, Mori Yoshiro drank too much at the banquet, and asked Bai Peng what wish he wanted to achieve.
Bai Peng said that sumo should be allowed to show in the Olympic Games.
Yoshiro Mori said yes, OK, let sumo into the Olympics!
So he asked the art director Mizuno to revise the design of the opening ceremony.
In addition to Yoshiro Mori, the current Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga has also come to offer advice.
Suga patted the table and said, your design is not good, it does not reflect the great unity of the Japanese nation, although Japan is dominated by the Yamato nation, there are still ethnic minorities, such as the Ainu people of Hokkaido, the Ryukyu people of Okinawa, you must show it, you want the great unity of the nation.
Director Mizuno listened to a bag, and the big leader downplayed a sentence to overthrow what we had worked hard to design for a whole year.
But don't worry, this is not the end, Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike also has a lot of opinions on the design of the opening ceremony.
Yuriko Koike said: "This design is full of technology and modernity, how can it be without our hard-working firefighters and construction workers?" Director, you should put firefighters and construction workers in the opening ceremony. ”
I believe that at this time, Director Mizuno's brain is exploded, where are so many opposition voices and political correctness!
The opening ceremony is about kabuki, sumo wrestling, ethnic minorities, firefighters and builders?
How is this thing going to work?
It turned out that tokyo's "Firefighters Memorial Meeting" and "Construction Union" were the big votes of Yuriko Koike, and the last time Koike ran for "Governor of Tokyo", these two groups voted for her.
Therefore, Koike had a selfish heart, and in order to repay these two large ticket warehouses, he had to forcibly stuff the firefighters and construction workers into the opening ceremony.
However, Mizuno said that the Tokyo Olympics were a bit of a sacred fire project, and it was very unlucky to arrange the fire brigade into the opening ceremony
But Yuriko Koike was very insistent, and even turned her face to Mizuno, so she had to stuff the fire brigade and the construction workers into it.
The one we saw later at the opening ceremony was the Edo-era fire brigade performed by the representative of the fire brigade.
And this, a group of Edo carpenters gathered there to do carpentry work, which is the representative of the construction workers.
So why the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games we see is so bad, behind him is all political interference, the result of layman leading insiders.
I really don't know what those people who blow the great opening of the Tokyo Olympics are blowing.
But this is far from over, because the version of Hades that we finally saw was the version that completely overturned Mizuno's design, so what happened here?
Why was Mizuno's design finally completely overturned, and there was nothing left?
Because the director Mizuno was more and more disobedient and disobeyed the opinions of the big leaders such as Yoshiro Mori, Yoshihide Suga, and Yuriko Koike, the leaders planned to let Mizuno get out of the egg and change to an obedient one.
Just at this time, the Japan Dentsu Company found Mori Yoshiro, "Nippon Dentsu" is Mori Yoshiro's veteran big gold lord, Mori Yoshiro wants to engage in political activities, behind the political contribution, Dentsu is the most active money.
Dentsu thought, since Mizuno is not obedient, let's change the obedience, Dentsu recommended a person, Hiroshi Sasaki.
This Hiroshi Sasaki is a bad taste enthusiast and an old cadre of Dentsu, who has been in dentsu's advertising industry for 40 years, and he and Dentsu's boss Takata Yoshio are old friends of the same period.
Mizuno offended the three old leaders, and was named by the golden lord Dentsu to be replaced, so how could she stay.
From the second half of 2000, Sasaki gradually replaced Mizuno, and then began to make drastic changes to Mizuno's design.
Hiroshi Sasaki is a very obedient person, Kabuki, sumo wrestlers, ethnic minorities, firefighters, construction workers, all added to you, the original good opening ceremony planning, to the point of scattering.
As mentioned above, this person is still a bad taste lover, and Mizuno's original design is to let Naomi Watanabe connect the memories of 1964 and the present of 2020.
Nasaki Hiroshi designed it and asked Naomi Watanabe to "dress up as a pig" in tandem, because Naomi Watanabe is a fat comedian and is very popular in Japan, with a comedic element.
Hiroshi Sasaki smugly said, "This will be interesting because the Japanese of the Olympic Games, the Olympics, and the Japanese pronunciation, 'Olin PIG', are very similar." ”
So isn't it nice to have Naomi Watanabe play a pig and play a harmonic terrier?
As soon as this design is said, everyone is stupid, Naomi Watanabe directly boycotted, people go to the Olympics to perform, you want people to play a pig? Isn't that insulting?
At the same time, the Internet also scolded Hiroshi Sasaki.
In this way, the link about memories will be replaced completely, because the main actor, Naomi Watanabe, has quit.
And this is not the most critical, the most critical, the reason that directly caused the original design of the Olympic opening ceremony to be completely overturned is the political black gold behind the unclear pen.
After Mizuno was fired, Hiroshi Sasaki took over and began a drastic change to the opening ceremony, with four performances at the opening and closing ceremonies, including the opening and closing of the Olympic Games and the opening and closing of the Paralympic Games.
A total of 13 billion yen was given to these four performances, of which 8 billion was given to the most important Olympic opening ceremony.
When Hiroshi Sasaki took over, he received a message that made him dumbfounded, and the accountant told Sasaki that our budget was only 1 billion.
Only 1 billion left? 1 billion still play a hammer, there are so many places to change, fortress firefighters, plug builders, plug ethnic minorities, plug kabuki, plug sumo, only 1 billion left, how do you let me plug?
You know, the 8-minute performance in Tokyo in Brazil alone cost 1.3 billion.
Now sasaki Hiroshi's head is bigger, where did the money go? No one dared to ask.
The person who dared to ask, the Olympic minister who was in charge of the Olympic accounts, jumped off the rail and committed suicide.
Hiroshi Sasaki naturally knows things and doesn't ask questions that shouldn't be asked.
So he began to slash the opening ceremony project, and all the money spent was cut.
What AR virtual reality, what Akira, what Nintendo All-Star CG show, all cut.
Didn't Naomi Watanabe strike? Just as an excuse, I cut down all the chapters of the entire second paragraph of 1964 memories.
There is no 1964 memory, instead of cutting down a few trees to make the Olympic rings, the name is to use the tree planted in 1964 to make the Olympic rings, representing the communication between the two eras, but in fact, this is cheap and saves money.
Such a cheap way of displaying, not out of what environmental protection, what concept, the fundamental reason is that the money does not know where to go, in order to save money, had to show cheaply.
At this time, Sasaki Hiroshi understood that he had come to carry the pot, and the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games was a complete mess.
If he really followed such a cheap plan, then the reputation he had accumulated in the advertising industry for more than 40 years would be completely ruined.
At this time, because Naomi Watanabe was called "Olympian PIG", the condemnation of him on the Japanese Internet was getting louder and louder.
Hiroshi Sasaki looked at this opportunity, pretended to bow his head and admit his mistake, and announced his resignation as the head of the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games, but in fact took the opportunity to grease the soles of his feet and get rid of the mess of the opening ceremony.
As a result, the three people in charge of the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics are all gone.
The first, Nomura Mansai.
The second place, Mizuno Sensei.
Third place, Hiroshi Sasaki.
After all three have run, the time is already April 2021, and there are still 3 months before the opening ceremony.
What's even more frightening is that the entire budget for the opening ceremony is only 1 billion yen.
That always has to find someone to do ah, time is tight, money is small, but the opening ceremony is always impossible not to do ah.
So I found the last pot bearer, Kentaro Kobayashi.
Kobayashi Kentaro took over, at this time his task is only one, that is, to make the opening ceremony out, do not ask you how wonderful and beautiful, the opening ceremony do not open the skylight, as long as there is, it is OK.
So in the next 3 months, 1 billion budget, to create an opening ceremony.
At this time, what air tea room, sumo wrestling, kabuki, Mario, anime character leader, don't expect it, all deleted.
In the end, 3 months later, it was like this, gloomy and cheap, and even Takeshi Kitano scolded "what the hell is this", the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.
And this can not blame Kobayashi Kentaro, he has no money, the second has no time, can only piece together, in a short period of time to make up an Olympic opening ceremony, it is good to have.
What's more, for this opening ceremony, there are still people licking it in China.
I have to say that the brain supplement ability of "Day Blowing" is really powerful, if you really understand what happened behind the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, will you still be so brainless?
What's even more interesting is that just the day before the opening ceremony, director Kentaro Kobayashi resigned because it was revealed that he had performed a sketch ridiculing the Holocaust.
The person in charge, the day before the opening ceremony, also ran.
The last Sasaki Hiroshi, because of insulting Naomi Watanabe, ran away.
This one, for ridiculing the Holocaust, ran away.
Isn't this all obvious, taking the opportunity to slip away? The opening ceremony was so bad that in order not to pick up the pot, on the last day, I ran quickly.
In the future, who will be responsible for the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics?
The first four people in charge, Mansai Nomura, Mizuno, Hiroshi Sasaki, and Kentaro Kobayashi, were not responsible, because all four of them ran before the opening ceremony.
So who is responsible for the "rotten"? No one was responsible for this at all, and in the end it was so confused.
If you want to dig deeper, think about how the accounting minister committed suicide by jumping off the rails.
Alas, in the end, it can only be said that it is a pity that mizuno's version of the wonderful opening ceremony was eventually ruined by politics and bureaucracy.
And if anyone still has hope for the closing ceremony, I urge you to dispel this idea as soon as possible.
The closing ceremony, too, will only be a temporary pull-out, perfunctory prevarication of a worldwide audience.
Well, I am Jiang Pingzhou, behind today's Olympic opening ceremony, the hidden scandals and secrets will talk to everyone about this
Please also help like the coin and forward, transfer out to let more people know about the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics, why it has become what it is today.
Thanks for liking, retweeting and sharing, and paying attention to the different hot information I bring every day
