"It was a real battle of real knives and guns, and we had plenty of ammunition in our hands." Zhao Linlin said that in terms of value orientation, "The Covenant of the Winter Olympics" jumps out of the framework in the narrative with the characters as the axis, and lands from the professional perspective of sports. "To tell a story, in addition to letting the audience know the protagonist, but also allowing the audience to really understand the sports behind her, this is the spread of sports."
Taking Xu Mengtao as an example, Zhao Linlin said that the Beijing Winter Olympics will be crucial for Xu Mengtao, and in her training life, all land training is to complete the action of the three-week platform. Therefore, in the production, the main creative team, through constantly thinking about the internal logic of the training project, understanding the driving force of the athletes' behavior, in the repeated polishing, the concept expression and narrative logic reached the root, jumped out of the simple emotional output, and focused on the background of the entire sports project, making an in-depth and simple, orderly analysis of the presentation.

Olympic culture research expert Wang Runbin said that in the context of the Winter Olympics, everyone can find their own stage, life is everywhere in the arena, on the stage of the Winter Olympics, there are glittering athletes, there are also flashing moments belonging to ordinary individuals, although they have different life trajectories, but everyone is moving forward and fighting under the guidance of the Olympic sports spirit.
The experience of filming "The Covenant of the Winter Olympics" has made director Zhao Linlin's understanding of the spirit of the Winter Olympics further, and she believes that the touching stories triggered by the love affair of the people in the Winter Olympics make the proposition of the era of "holding high the community of human destiny" vivid and clear.
"Hosting the Winter Olympics is not only for medals, its ultimate purpose is human development, so that the people can have a better living environment and more development opportunities." Jiang Yiyi, a professor at Beijing Sport University, said that China's ice and snow sports have taken the opportunity of the Beijing Winter Olympics to show the world its vigorous vitality, and have also sown the seeds of continued development on the land of China and accumulated into a thick Winter Olympic complex.
It is reported that in order to carry out better international communication, the Beiti Media team cooperated with experts from Beijing Foreign Chinese University to translate, plan "documentary out to sea" from the aspects of editing ideas, copy dubbing, etc., and synchronously promote and disseminate in the form of short videos.
Zhao Linlin said that sports is a common international language, which has a stronger "bullet" effect in overseas dissemination, and can directly and quickly cause reactions from audiences of different languages and nationalities. The sportsmanship displayed by Chinese athletes will also inspire and stir the passion of the world audience.
"The 'covenant' of the Winter Olympics is China's solemn commitment to the international community to 'run the Winter Olympics well', and it is also the perfect answer to China's pledge to the world to 'bring 300 million people to participate in ice and snow sports'." The documentary "The Covenant of the Winter Olympics" completed the 'appointment' with the audience, telling the world how China achieved this perfect appointment. Zhao Linlin said. (End)
