Integrate into the ceremony as a performance element
And the artistic interpretation of the "City of The Two Olympics"
It will also become one of the biggest highlights of the entire closing ceremony
Director Sha Xiaolan of the closing ceremony of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics introduced
The most important part of the closing ceremony
It is to embody the concept of "double Olympic"
From the very beginning, I wanted important elements of the 2008 Olympic Games to be reflected in the closing ceremony. We also want to convey a feeling of reluctance, and we want to pass on this warmth to the whole world. Therefore, the tone of red color was used as the main color of the closing ceremony, and nearly 20,000 lanterns were arranged in the audience to participate in the interactive performance, which was the collision of red passion and blue romance.
