On the evening of February 4, the opening ceremony of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics opened in full costume at the National Stadium. From the poetic countdown to the 24 solar terms to the innovative main torch design, the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics has become a topic of discussion. The grand visual feast of the opening ceremony not only revealed creativity from all aspects, but also its concept and theme were also quite meaningful.
At eleven o'clock in the morning of the opening ceremony, the International Olympic Committee and the Beijing Winter Olympic Organizing Committee held a press conference at the main press center, and the general director Zhang Yimou introduced the creative ideas of the opening ceremony to Chinese and foreign reporters. At the press conference, the reporter of Haihe Media Center also asked director Zhang Yimou about how the opening ceremony reflected the wide participation of Chinese people in ice and snow sports.
Haihe Media Center reporter Liu Guohao:
We found that in addition to the elements of science and technology at the opening ceremony, it is also a very important content to show people's spiritual outlook. The warm-up link before the opening ceremony, including the linkage of ten cities including Tianjin, including the link of paying tribute to the people, including the love and participation of Chinese people for ice and snow sports, is it not a source of inspiration for your creativity?
Zhang Yimou, general director of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Beijing Winter Olympics:
First of all, we especially want to emphasize the people's nature at the opening ceremony this time, so from the performance before the ceremony, to the passing of the national flag to the entrance, to the salute to the people, in all aspects, many details we pay attention to. We don't have professional artists, no professional actors or stars, we mostly use ordinary students and ordinary citizens to participate in the performance, to emphasize a kind of unity, to emphasize a kind of people's nature, which is a very big difference. I believe that in large events all over the world, in performances of this scale, it is very rare to use professional artists, professional actors, so I am very happy that we can do this. There is also a short film that I like, one of us is a short film, that is, a lot of cute children, fell down and got up to learn to skate, I think it is very cute. Everyone will laugh when watching this short film session, and they will show a very good sense of warmth, and it just so happens that this short film also expresses our concept of "300 million people on the ice and snow". It is true that there are more and more children in China, more and more people who are on the ice and snow to learn. This is very similar to the footsteps of our human beings, that is, falling down and getting up, falling down and getting up again, moving happily, and finally moving forward, showing their best side. This little short film is only a minute and a half, I think I am very moved, I have watched many times many times, many times, every time I am very touched, very warm and vivid.
In the hot performance session before the opening ceremony, ten cities appeared at the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympic Games through video connection, showing the enthusiasm and passion of 300 million people to participate in ice and snow sports. Among them, Tianjin also expressed its expectations for the Winter Olympics and its love for ice and snow sports in its own way.
In order to highlight the enthusiasm of China's 300 million people to participate in ice and snow and the people's nature of the opening ceremony, the first half hour of the opening ceremony was a hot field, which took the form of a marching square dance. On the big screen of the opening ceremony, in ten cities such as Guangzhou, Tianjin and Shanghai, the masses from all ages and different identities and occupations took the theme of going to the future together, fully demonstrating the festive atmosphere of the Chinese New Year and the enthusiasm of the vast number of Chinese people to participate in ice and snow sports, which pushed the atmosphere of the scene to a climax, and as one of the ten representative cities, Tianjin naturally has its own characteristics and strength.

This time, our 10 cities show together, we the people of the whole country respond to the great call of General Secretary Xi Jinping for 300 million people to go to ice and snow, and our actual actions in Tianjin are a very important affirmation for the development of ice and snow sports in Tianjin.

General Director of Video at Tianjin Branch
Because we received some requirements and positioning from the director group of the opening ceremony of the Beijing Organizing Committee to Tianjin, Tianjin's urban positioning is still relatively youthful and energetic, more modern city, so the content of the exhibition is still relatively cheerful, fast-paced content is the mainstay, so we follow this idea from the design of the lens, including shooting and editing.
Indeed, relying on the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, Tianjin ice and snow sports have made great progress in the past few years, so after getting the task of warm-up performances, they were organized and promoted by the Municipal Sports Bureau, and the Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism and Haihe Media Center and other departments carried out their work under the linkage. In order to coincide with the opening ceremony of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics and also let the people of Tianjin feel the warm atmosphere of the Winter Olympics, several landmark buildings in Tianjin: Tianjin Eye, Tianjin Olympic Sports Center and Tianta Tower also lit up on the evening of February 4. Finally, after many aspects of cooperation and careful arrangement and deployment in the early stage, on the night of the opening ceremony, the three sections integrated the Tianjin city scenery, ice and snow culture exhibition and performance, as well as the video signal of sports stars and citizens singing and blessing the Winter Olympics in accordance with the warm chapter of the opening ceremony, and successfully transmitted to the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympic Games.
