The Beijing Winter Olympics came to an end, and the closing ceremony ended in a lively atmosphere.
Before the opening ceremony, the general director Zhang Yimou was interviewed. He said that originally only more than 600 athletes attended the opening ceremony, and then many athletes wanted to participate. First, they watched the opening ceremony, and the huge scene shocked the foreign athletes. They expected the closing ceremony to be no worse, maybe even better, and wanted to attend another huge gala. Second, many athletes have left too many good memories of the Beijing Winter Olympics, and they do not want to leave early, but want to get together with friends for a while and leave good memories. For many athletes, this is a rare opportunity in life. It will be difficult to see such a magnificent party in the future.
Some athletes asked to watch the closing ceremony one after another. Distant friends have this need, and as the host, we have refused, so we agreed to their request. Unexpectedly, more than 2,000 athletes wanted to see the closing ceremony. The Beijing Winter Olympics had only about 2,900 athletes in total, which meant that the vast majority of athletes asked to stay and watch the closing ceremony. So many athletes participating in the closing ceremony, breaking the historical record, will inevitably increase the trouble of management.
But Zhang Yimou proudly said: "They are willing to come to the closing ceremony." It was a record-breaking Winter Olympics with so many athletes coming to play. Many people who take a few hours in the car also have to come to see the closing ceremony. We have friends all over the world. They are very happy and willing to participate in such parties and carnivals. At the same time, Zhang Yimou also said that he had the opportunity to direct the closing ceremony, and he must come up with the best works and live up to his mission.
Unexpectedly, when it came to the closing ceremony, these athletes still created "trouble" for the party.
According to the closing ceremony process, after the flag is raised, the athletes enter, and then there is a wonderful review.
The athletes of the delegation entered happily, dancing and singing in the middle of the venue one by one, completely treating the closing ceremony as a party.
There are still many shows in the future, and athletes can't always be played in the field. First, a female commentator told the athletes in English to watch the show in the stands. CCTV commentator Kang Hui used his magnetic voice to exhort Chinese: "Please sit down and watch the ceremony." ”
That is, according to the arrangement, after the athletes enter, they have to go to the stands to watch the show. I didn't expect the athletes to ignore it. Gu Ailing shook her head and danced there in the middle of the field. The athletes were so hi that they didn't listen to the commentators.
After waiting for another minute, the two commentators urged in Both Chinese and English: "Please sit down and watch the ceremony." ”
Another female commentator said in Chinese: "Now all the athlete representatives who participated in the closing ceremony will take the stands to watch the ceremony and performances of the closing ceremony with the audience." ”
The athletes didn't care that much, and they were still spinning in circles. Everyone was so excited.
The volunteers heard the narrator's words. They still remember their duties. They don't just dance on the sidelines to welcome athletes, they also play a role in guiding them. They first guided Chinese athletes to the stands. Chinese athletes were seen on the stands, and athletes from other countries followed suit, but there were still many athletes dancing and taking photos in the middle of the venue. Kang Hui had to urge the athletes to go to the stands for the third time.
Volunteers were also anxious and rushed to guide athletes from other countries. Other athletes took to the stands one after another.
Such a situation should be relatively rare at other closing ceremonies. The athletes were so excited that they forgot the flow of the show. Of course, we shouldn't care too much. As Zhang Yimou said, our friends are very happy and willing to participate in such a grand gathering, so let them have fun. Isn't any party meant to make everyone happy?
The show that followed was really wonderful. The grand stage beauty, the brilliant light and shadow, and the poetic program let everyone revel in the program.
Some netizens said that Zhang Yimou understood too well. He showed his hopes, memories, and sorrows vividly, like a dream, like a picture. To be able to watch such a beautiful party up close, the athletes are really worth it, and it is difficult to have such a good opportunity in a lifetime. No wonder so many athletes begged to see the closing ceremony. They really earned!
