"Dad knew I had a show at the opening ceremony, but he didn't find me from start to finish!" On February 5, the reporter interviewed the cast and crew of Haidian District who participated in the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics, and Qin Song, a first-year student of the Chinese Classical Dance Department of the Beijing Dance Academy who participated in the "Building a Snowflake" program, said so.
Although they basically did not leave any shots of their own throughout the performance, they all made a snowflake in the overall effect, and used one-sixth of the strength to "build" the most perfect "big snowflake".
The actors of "Building a Snowflake" are all from the 21st grade of the Beijing Dance Academy, a total of 96 female students, dressed as 96 snowflakes, qin Song holding the "Croatian" hand card.
"The hand light is very bright, the light switch is very sensitive, sometimes you don't feel that you touch it, the light suddenly turns on or goes out." Qin Song said that from the beginning of rehearsals, she was most nervous about the lights.
96 people, 96 lights, is a whole, if which light suddenly turns on or suddenly goes out, very conspicuous, if which light is high or low, it is also very abrupt. Especially in the end, the actors solemnly stamped the ground with hand cards, and they had to switch to the special effects on the ground screen in an instant, and if the light was not pressed out in time, the whole picture jumped.
"The instructors told us that as long as one person is wrong, it is 96 people wrong!" Qin Song said that from the beginning of rehearsal, the students paid great attention to the uniformity of this moment, and in the end they also showed the most perfect effect.
The reporter learned that the 96 snowflakes were actually "admitted" with the Chinese team, and when the audience cheered for the Chinese ice and snow athletes, the 96 snowflakes quietly entered the venue from Gates 1 to 4 on the 0th floor of the Bird's Nest.
"Standing on the stage of the Bird's Nest and hearing the screams of the audience, I feel extremely excited and excited in my heart, and I am even more proud of our great motherland!" Qin Song said that when she stamped the seal with a sign, when the "big snowflake" slowly rose, she burst into tears.
Li Yue, secretary of the Party Branch of Chinese Dance Undergraduates at the Beijing Dance Academy, introduced that at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics, a total of 116 students of the Beijing Dance Academy undertook three projects for the opening ceremony, including "Five Rings of Ice and Snow", "Building a Snowflake" and the guide. Since October last year, students have been rehearsing intensely, and in order not to take up the students' class time, the training is arranged for holidays and weekends, and more than three times a week for high-intensity rehearsals.
Zhang Yimou, general director of the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics, said that the opening ceremony was "strictly speaking, the story of a snowflake", and completely different snowflakes converged in Beijing to become a human snowflake, a common snowflake.
