The 176 delegates passed on the flag bearers, many of whom you are familiar with

When the seeds of the "dandelion" drift leisurely, in the center of the bird's nest, a five-star red flag slowly unfolds in the hands of 12 children. Subsequently, they passed the flag to 176 delegates. Through a pair of blazing hands, the bright national flag was solemnly handed over to the national flag class...

According to the director of the sub-scene, Tao Wenting, among these deputies, there are not only 6 heroic models such as Qi Fabao, Jing Haipeng, Guo Wangang, Xu Zhenchao, Maimai Tijiang Wumaier, and Sheng Awei, as well as college students from the Central University for Nationalities and representing 56 nationalities, as well as representatives of medical workers, people's police, express delivery and takeaway brothers and other representatives from all walks of life.

"The entry of the national flag is an important part of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, and it allows the host country to think more." General director Zhang Yimou said. At the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, children of 56 nationalities walked into the bird's nest surrounded by the five-star red flag, "The effect is very good, what to do this time?" We decided to start with the 'people's nature'. "In Zhang Yimou's view, the nearly 200 deputies on the field are the epitome of all the Chinese people, they stand in two rows, there is no obvious demarcation between each other, and the heroic models are also in the crowd, because everyone is a member of the people." The close contact between the people and the national flag" This act itself does not have a "great sense of performance", but is full of the ultimate inseparable affection, which can reach the hearts of the people.

"During the rehearsal, the director wanted a real reaction, and he asked us to inspire everyone to show their true feelings, rather than 'cut' the performance." On the cold winter night, there were many moments that touched and warmed Tao Wenting: Xu Zhenchao, who was more than seventy years old, held the national flag, his hands were trembling, and the old man who did not know how to hand over the national flag at the opening ceremony was so excited that he was almost speechless; when Qi Fabao stepped out of the TV screen and stood in front of him, Tao Wenting, who was also a soldier, instantly burst into tears...

"It is a great honor for me to be born in this great era." Tao Wenting sincerely sighed, "Many people say that the director team is very hard, in fact, we are like the heroic models and the workers from all walks of life, we are all dedicating ourselves to the country." "This is also a phrase that Zhang Yimou often uses to cheer up the team and have an immediate effect." The director was able to get our room full of people down. When the rehearsal reached the anxious stage, at three o'clock in the morning, Zhang Yimou was still constantly throwing out ideas and implementing plans, and he could always wake up the "dream person" with a word: "Don't sleep, the time to dedicate to the motherland has arrived!" ”
