With the end of the opening ceremony, Zhang Yimou was once again held on the altar, don't look at the director has been more than seventy years old, but he still sticks to his post, insists on telling Chinese stories, showing Chinese culture to the world, the theme of this year's Winter Olympics is to go to the future together, so there are many children at the opening ceremony, which is also Zhang Yimou's favorite, he likes children, and children symbolize the future of the motherland.
One of the shows is the children's choir, who sing the Olympic anthem in Greek, and each child wears a red hat with the tiger's logo, which also symbolizes that this year is the Year of the Tiger.
Seeing a group of children singing on such a big stage and performing so well, the audience lamented how good the children were, how proud the parents should be, and this moment is also a glorious moment worth blowing for a lifetime, and at the same time envy these children, they are all people who win on the starting line, how lucky.
They are lucky, but they are unfortunate, contrary to the audience's imagination, these children are not children from major schools in Beijing, they have no prominent background, nor are they children who have learned music since childhood, they are ordinary children from the rural primary school in the deep Taihang Mountains of Hebei Province, and they are selected to sing on such a big stage, which may be the luckiest thing in their lives.
The idea of letting the children of Dashan sing the song in Greek was Zhang Yimou, whose idea was supported by the organizing committee, and when they first heard the children singing, everyone was very touched, the children were particularly sincere and simple, among these 44 people, the oldest child was 12 years old, and the youngest child was only 5 years old.
The process of the children being selected to start the rehearsal is completely confidential, they were not told to go to the stage of the opening ceremony to sing together, but the children still practiced very hard, even they did not have a professional music classroom and teachers, everything was learned from scratch, despite the short time and heavy tasks, the children still completed the task well, and did not leave a cultural lesson.
Of course, not every child is so lucky, in the later stages, there are also many children who have been eliminated, adults can only comfort them even if they can not play is great, when the children are about to go to Beijing, the children who failed to write to the children who did not choose: When the time comes, you can tell me the story of going to the performance, there are not many people, the stage is not big.
It is Zhang Yimou who gave these children in the mountains a chance to see the world, how lucky, netizens have remembered the link of the TV series "Mountains and Seas" after understanding, the children in the TV series have also not been to the outside world, the music teacher can't bear to let every child fail, so let the children all go to the chorus, they sing not the best, but it is the loudest, the most simple.
Children are the hope of the future, every child should get equal access to education, equal opportunities to get on the stage, Zhang Yimou's pattern is very large, he dares to use children to do wonderful performances of the opening ceremony, including when the national flag is raised, the little boy blows out "My Motherland and Me" with a trumpet, lets the children play on the ice stage with peace doves and so on.
Zhang Yimou is an excellent director, strictly demanding himself and every actor on the scene, whether it is the opening ceremony or the movie, he is very serious, the opening ceremony ended successfully, pay tribute to Zhang Yimou and every staff.
