The little boy who blew the trumpet at the opening ceremony was him! How was he chosen?

Changsha Evening News Changsha, February 4 According to Beijing Daily News, on February 4, during the national flag relay session of the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, a young boy stood under the flagpole and blew a loud and affectionate "My Motherland and Me" with a trumpet. The trumpeter's name is Zhu Deen, and he finally stood out after being selected by layers in Beijing and even the whole country.

"When selecting small actors, the general director first requires a strong professional level, and then wants to be as young as possible." Zhang Sun, director of the dance department of Beijing Normal University, said, "The innocence of children, the expression of his serious efforts, and the state revealed in his eyes are all difficult to have in the adult world." ”

Taking Beijing as an example, "In the early stages, we contacted the Municipal Education Commission to find out which schools have a team of wind or wind music teams, and by setting up some repertoire, we examined the children's presentation on both the emotional and technical levels." The main creative team, including Zhang Sun, visited many schools, children in the suburbs could record videos to participate in the selection, and teachers from the Central Conservatory of Music, China Conservatory of Music and other institutions also made overall recommendations from a more professional level. After all the considerations, the 3 young performers finally stood out from hundreds of candidates.

"We also wondered if the young actors could be a little younger, or simply look for them in kindergarten?" During the selection process, Zhang Sun also learned a lot, "Later, the music teacher told us that children have the problem of changing their teeth, they must wait until the permanent teeth are grown before they can play, if one tooth is missing, the pitch cannot be grasped." ”

"For the children, the competition is really a very cruel process, and even the adults feel unbearable when they see it." Sub-director Tao Wenting said. On the night of the opening ceremony, Judean children took the stage. At the moment when the trumpet sounded, the eyes of the audience all over the world fell on this young and cute child, but outside the camera, the other two small players who came all the way were destined to leave some regrets.

All the main creators, including Tao Wenting, hope that a competition will not bring too much trouble to these two children, or damage their self-confidence. They are also very good: 9-year-old Liu Haoran studied at Huajiadi Experimental Primary School in Chaoyang District, learned to play trumpet for more than a year, and his performance has been quite outstanding; 13-year-old Liang Tong has studied with the famous trumpet player Professor Zhu Guang since the third grade, won awards in many international competitions, and was admitted to the Central Conservatory of Music Affiliated High School last year with the first place in the major.

The winding part of "My Motherland and Me" is more than 1 minute long, the professional difficulty is not very high, but it requires the depth of feelings, and it is difficult for children to understand, for this reason, in daily life, Liu Haoran's mother Hao Dongyuan and Liang Tong's father Liang Yanqiu have thought of many ways. "I haven't left my child since he was born." Hao Dongyuan will let the child try to understand the grand "motherland" as the mother, to constantly approach the "can not be separated for a moment" description of the child's affection; Liang Yanqiu told the child a lot of stories about the motherland and about growth. Professor Namula, the principal of the Attached Middle School of the Central Conservatory of Music, impressed him with a passage, "She told the children that learning is for the motherland, and without a strong motherland, where is the quiet classroom to learn?" When playing, Liang Yanqiu will let the children work hard "with a grateful mood."

As parents, Hao Dongyuan and Liang Yanqiu attach great importance to the psychological counseling of their children. "We hope that children have a normal heart, and it is most important to participate in this activity and get the harvest of life." Hao Dongyuan said. Fortunately, Liu Haoran's children have always been a sensible and peaceful child. Liang Tong, who was a few years older than him, was sometimes more sensitive. When he rehearsed several times, he found that he had not tied a flag to himself, and he guessed that he might not be the first choice, which was a bit frustrated. "There are so many people in China, and there are people who are better than you by blowing the trumpet, and we are proud of you to participate in this activity." The results go with the flow, and the process is the biggest workout. Liang Yanqiu said to Liang Tong. He also encouraged the children to take on the responsibility of the big brother, "Many children are younger than you, you have to set an example and help the teacher maintain good discipline on the spot." ”

Although they did not take the stage, in order to ensure that the opening ceremony was foolproof, on February 4, the two children still got up early and came to the bird's nest on time to make various preparations. "There are many factors to consider in large-scale activities, and not being selected does not mean that the children are not excellent." I believe that they will all become great performers in the future. Tao Wenting looks forward to more people giving encouragement to these two little heroes behind the scenes.
