Chapter 526 The opening of the Olympic Games, the whole country is boiling
"Ho Baby, talk more about love, just take a look if you miss me..."

Tian Wuxuan was humming the representative work of Wang Xinlin, the leader of sweetness, shaving with a razor in front of the mirror in the balcony pool, and twisting his buttocks from time to time.

Gao Qing, who was waiting at the door of the toilet with his trousers up, gave him a disdainful look: "You are a man who weighs almost 200 pounds. Is it disgusting to sing this song?"

"You know what a fart, this is called sweet."

The burly Xia Hu came out of the toilet, and raised an objection righteously: "Which man can reject Jiao Didi's sweet girl."

"I didn't expect, Lao Xia, you, a big man from Lu Province, are so good at it."

"It's understandable. If your girlfriend is a 1-meter-high girl who has practiced javelin throwing for three years in high school, is careless, and can make people in Lu Province vomit when she drinks alcohol, you will be rare for this kind of girl."

Cai Que, who has a rich love history and is also from the Northeast, accurately summarized the characteristics of Xia Hu's girlfriend, and then pointed out someone's little thoughts.

"But Lao Xia, although we girls from the Northeast have a carefree personality, we know how to love the master, so don't mess around."

"Indeed, Lao Xia, you have to be careful. If you make a mistake one day, it's not because the brothers don't help, you're afraid you won't be able to beat your sister-in-law."

"Last year's sports meeting, sister-in-law's javelin was so fierce, tsk tsk, anyway, Lao Xia, please understand the difficulty of an only child."

"Get out, your sister-in-law also likes Wang Xinlin, and my fan is still a family tradition."

The brothers in the dormitory were fighting and fighting, but their subordinates were not idle, so they quickly packed their bags and left the dormitory together.

As for the aisles and stairs of the dormitory, there were not a few people like them who acted together in the whole dormitory, and many of them were specially dressed up.

Some wore clothes printed with the Beijing Olympics or the Chinese Olympic delegation, some had their faces painted with red and yellow national flag paint, some were shirtless, wore red scarves, and held small national flags, and some carried a big drum to the downstairs. run……

Compared with everyone else, Xia Hu and his four brothers are considered normal, even the normal ones are a bit out of place.

"It's broken, we're not prepared."

"Don't panic."

Cai Que and Xia Hu are older, with alert and stable personalities, and they belong to the board members of the dormitory. Among them, Cai Que is smarter, so they encountered a similar situation.He presided over the situation.

"The school canteen and the store at the entrance must have something for sale. Lao Xia, Lao Tian and I will pick up people, and Lao Gao will go shopping."

"why?"

Gao Qing refused to accept it, and was despised by Cai Que: "The two pick up girlfriends, and I pick up my sister, who do you pick up?"

"I don't think dating is boring, I enjoy the fun of being single..."

"Ah yes yes yes!"

Cai Que nodded perfunctorily, and asked his brothers to contribute some money. Gao Qing cursed, but went to buy things honestly.

"Let's split up and meet at the pavilion next to the cafeteria."

The three people are not in the same place, so they can only act separately.

Xia Hu's girlfriend was the most punctual, and she was waiting at the downstairs door of the dormitory before he arrived. Tian Wuxuan's elementary school girl didn't wait too long, and she called downstairs as soon as she got there.

On the other hand, Cai Queyue's girl with glasses waited 10 minutes for Xiaoer to see him, but fortunately, the girl with glasses brought her two roommates with her, so Gao Qing would not be allowed to eat dog food alone.

Today is August 2008, 8, the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games, which will be broadcast live worldwide.

People in the whole capital city and even most of China want to come to the scene and experience the opening of the Olympic Games in their motherland.

But unfortunately, there are only about 9.1 audience seats, and only about 6 tickets are sold to the public, and many of them are foreign tickets.

The number of people who want to grab tickets is far more than 600 million, so it is very simple, the tickets for the opening ceremony are all sold out.

The cheapest tickets on the black market cost seven to eight thousand yuan, and the highest-selling ticket is rumored to be as high as 21 yuan.

The key is not money. In 2008, there were quite a few rich local tyrants, who were willing to spend this money no matter if it was sincerely or just to pretend.

But even if you have money, you may not be able to buy tickets, 9 tickets.It seems a lot, let alone put it in half of China, even if it is put in the capital, it will not be worth it.

And there are also a bunch of vicious scalpers selling fake tickets, you may not be able to buy real ones even if you spend money.

Just like the unit played by Uncle Ge in "My Motherland and Me" in later generations, being able to get tickets for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games is really awesome, and you can fill the capital with tickets...

Cai Que tried countless methods in this dormitory, and Tian Wuxuan almost knelt down to his mother, but it was useless.

The Taimiao concert was led by CCTV, and there was not much ticket sales to the outside world. Tian Ma tried to find a way to get favors, and she could still get two tickets.

Not to mention Tian Wuxuan, even Tian Ma, his wife and even their leaders couldn't get a ticket if they wanted to go.

The four brothers tossed and tossed for two months, and finally gave up, but they couldn't go to the scene, and some people in the school organized to watch the live broadcast together.

The cafeteria was one of them, but a few people thought the TV was too small, so they went to the food stall next to the school.

The owner of this food stall is a smart man. He set up one or two 120-inch large curtains early on, connected the projectors with a computer, and installed one on each side of the store.

The definition is definitely worse than that of LCD TV, but the advantage is that the screen is bigger, and everyone watched the fun together. Countless students and the public immediately gathered, and the food stall was packed with nearly [-] tables.

Gao Qing had worked at a food stall before, and had a good relationship with the boss.

Even when the boss started this mess, HD did not help much. He and another classmate worked hard to overcome the technical problems of computer live projection.

The two had agreed a long time ago, so even though countless guests asked, the boss was very particular about leaving two tables for Gao Qing.

Gao Qing greeted the boss familiarly, and helped him run around the hall, then brought two bundles of beer and several plates of cooked food and cold dishes.

"Today is too busy, Chuan'er has to wait, but there are cooked and cold dishes prepared here, let's make do with it first."

They are all college students who haven't left school yet, so they don't worry about it, just eat what they have, introduced each other, and started to exchange cups.

The opening ceremony started on time at 8:[-] p.m., and there is still more than half an hour left, but some related behind-the-scenes interview programs have been going on, and everyone occasionally glanced at it while chatting.

"For some reason, I was a little flustered."

"Me too. I'm excited and looking forward to it, but I'm also afraid that I might lose face in the whole world."

"I believe it should be fine."

"Believe in the country, but also believe in Lao Mouzi's director team and Cao Xuan and other cast and crew."

Many post-00s and even post-95s who don't remember much, it is difficult to understand everyone's uneasiness and anxiety at this time.

This is an answer to the world that China has been looking forward to for a long time. In the absence of a strong economic rise in national strength, most Chinese people are very unconfident.

Even though the opening ceremony received wide international acclaim, everyone maintained an almost humble attitude and did not feel how great the opening ceremony was.

Until London in 2012, Rio in 2016, and the eerie Tokyo Olympics in 2021.

Everyone gradually realized that our Olympic Games are so awesome, and how classic and great this opening ceremony is...

In the mood of anticipation, excitement and anxiety,

At about 7:50, the opening ceremony entered the countdown.

The TV broadcast screen also came from the backstage and the studio to the scene of the Bird's Nest. Countless audiences in the stands around the Bird's Nest greeted the camera happily and excitedly.

In the cheerful music, leaders, distinguished guests from various countries who came to watch the ceremony, and relevant organization personnel of the Olympic Committee stepped onto the rostrum, and more than 9 spectators present gave thunderous applause and cheers.

The warm and surging atmosphere of the whole bird's nest, even Cai Que and others who were separated by a screen, couldn't help but celebrate with cheers,

At 7:59, the lights of the venue dimmed, and a halo of dazzling sparks suddenly appeared in the sky, illuminating the ancient sundial.

In the center of the bird's nest, there was a powerful blow, and the 2008 fou, which means "9", made a soul-stirring sound, even the cheers of [-] people at the scene could not cover it.

Accompanied by the bang and deafening blow, the white lights on the top of the pot flashed one after another, and a countdown number was formed in the center of the bird's nest. There were two square teams, with uppercase Chinese numbers on the top and Arabic numbers on the bottom.

The 9 spectators and countless Chinese in front of the screen followed the countdown in unison.

Ten…10
Nine…9
...

two...2
One 1
At this moment, all the audience at the Bird's Nest, Cai Que and other food stall guests, as well as countless Chinese people from all over the world, across the Taiwan Strait, couldn't help but burst into tears.

China's century-old Olympic dream has finally come true today...

……

When the countdown ended, flowers bloomed on the bird's nest, and 2008 soldiers sang and chanted loudly.

"Have friends come from afar!"

This is the Beijing Olympic Games in China, a welcome to Olympic athletes, guests and spectators from all over the world.

The uniform movements, the cries of united will, the majestic momentum, the heritage of ancient civilization, the whole picture makes people feel that there are only two words——

Shocked!

Followed by the welcome fireworks, the bird's nest is like a blooming flower, dazzling, and the colorful fireworks are in the shape of huge footprints, a total of 29 footprints, blooming sequentially along the north-south central axis of the capital, symbolizing that the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games is the No.20 Ninth Olympic Games .

The drums are shocking and the fireworks are gorgeous, so the flying fairy and the dreamy rings floating slowly can be called romantic.

The national flag entered the arena, 56 ethnic groups attended in costumes, and two little girls, one of whom showed their beauty and the other of their voice, collaborated in the song "Singing the Motherland".

Stand up, hoist the national flag, and play the national anthem!

At this point, the beginning of the opening ceremony is over, and the next part is the part of theatrical performances.

The huge reel gave all the audience another surprise. The magnificence and prosperity of Chinese culture was accompanied by programs and pictures one after another, showing scenes of prosperity and splendor in front of people all over the world.

At about 9:5, the previous show ended, and a high platform appeared in the field, surrounded by sparkling lights and stars flickering, like a galaxy.

When Cao Xuan was wearing a simple black T-shirt and appeared alone on the hard-surfaced high stage, the audience, who had been numb from the wonderful shows, still gave thunderous support to the best singer in China.

The soft prelude sounded, and the entire bird's nest was completely silent. At this moment, there were billions of eyes in the whole world, staring at this familiar face.

Cao Xuan has experienced many big scenes in his life, but if there is a comparison, the influence of the 2002 World Cup final may be barely equal to today's.

But compared with 2002, the significance of this solo at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games to himself and the whole country is more than a hundred times more important.

If Cao Xuan were to choose, he would not hesitate to rate today's performance as the most important performance in his career or even in his life.

This is not his performance alone, but a performance that bears all the expectations of 13 billion Chinese people.

Cao Xuan thought that he had made all the psychological preparations, but when he really stood on this stage, he couldn't help hiding his face and escaping.

However, in just a split second, Cao Xuan put this thought behind him and concentrated his attention on it. Cao Xuan picked up the microphone, picked up the prelude, and almost instinctively sang the lyrics that he had sung no less than thousands of times.

"Perseverance and courage without looking back

Through the night and across the border
Passing by the rain, passing by the wind, continue to rush forward
will always stand by your side one day
......"

On the LED screen under the high platform, several screen flashbacks appeared, and there were four protagonists in total.

One is a tall boy of yellow race, shooting basketball time and time again in the small basketball hall.

One was a black boy, sprinting barefoot on the gravel road.

A mother who has retired for many years because of her son's illness retrains and wants to return to the game.

An athlete who lost his left leg, did not give up on himself, and was still active in the swimming pool he loved.

"Let the light refract the tear-wet pupils
Reflect the rainbow that I most want to have in my heart
Take me to the sky with you

because you are my dream

my dream

......"

The yellow boy Dayao grew up day by day, became taller and taller, became a Chinese giant, participated in the NBA, and led the Chinese men's basketball team to compete for the Olympics.

The black teenager Bolt became faster and faster, became a Jamaican flying man, and flew from Athens to the capital.

For the sake of her children, Chusovina re-entered the Olympic arena at the age of 33 and became a legend in sports and life.

South African athlete Natalie, who is still shining brightly, has won gold medals in the Athens Paralympic Games, and now she has come to Beijing again, becoming the only athlete who participated in both the Olympic Games and the Paralympic Games this year.

When the Chinese version was finished, Cao Xuan sang the English version again. The inspirational lyrics accompanied by the passionate and powerful melody were the best praise and encouragement for the Olympic athletes.

"When your dreams come alive you are unstoppable
When dreams come true you're unstoppable

take a shot chase the sun, find the beautiful
Fly your wings and follow the sun in search of beauty
We will glow in the dark turning dust to gold
We'll shine in the dark and turn a stone into gold

......"

For most audiences, it may not be possible to discover the full charm of this song in a short time, but the melodious melody, singing voice, and positive and relevant lyrics are enough to make everyone intoxicated and surprised.

Cao Xuan is Cao Xuan, and will never let everyone down!

After the song was over, Cao Xuan left the stage, and the audience gave a long and loud applause, and I don't know how many fans and audiences of Cao Xuan in front of the screen cheered.

"Cao Xuan is amazing!"

Jumping off the mechanism on the high platform, the relevant person in charge happily came over and hugged: "Perfect performance, great."

Only now did Cao Xuan let out a long sigh of relief. He dared not say that this song was comparable to the previous classics, but at least it would not become the weak point of the whole event like Yuan Shikong.

After taking off his ears, Cao Xuan smiled relaxedly: "My mission is complete, I'm off to watch the show."

Without disturbing the other staff, I found a place with a good view, greeted the enthusiastic audience, gave some autographs, and then continued to watch the opening ceremony.

Cao Xuan's program was the last one of the theatrical performance. After his program ended, around 9:10, the athletes entered the arena. .

In fact, he has watched many rehearsal programs for the opening ceremony, even more than once, and even participated in the creation and discussion of some programs as a consultant, but rehearsals and formalities are two different things.

For example, when an athlete enters the field, there is no way to rehearse in advance. They can only imitate roughly, but they are not the master after all.

The first team to play is the Greek team, which is also the tradition of the Olympic Games. After all, the Olympic Games originated from Greece, and Greece is basically the first to play in every Olympic Games.

Olympic delegations appeared one by one, including some familiar athletes, which aroused cheers from everyone.

For example, the flag bearer of the Japanese delegation is Fukuhara Ai, the American delegation’s Kobe Bryant and other NBA superstars, and the Argentine flag bearer is Manu Ginobili of the NBA Spurs. Cao Xuan glanced inside, but he didn’t see Messi. Did not come to the opening ceremony.

When the Chinese Taipei delegation came out, the audience shouted "Welcome home".

What is more interesting is that several protagonists who appeared in Cao Xuan's theme song "My Dream" before.

Bolt of the Jamaican delegation, Natalie of the South African delegation, and Chusovitina of the German delegation received key attention from the TV broadcast and received warm cheers from the audience.

Bolt, who has a more unrestrained personality, blew kisses to the stands, and the other two athletes also slightly touched their chests and nodded.

CCTV's broadcast footage also found Cao Xuan who was waving a small national flag given by the audience in the corner. In the busy schedule of athletes entering the field and observing the reactions of leaders of various countries, they gave him a two-second shot.

The last one to appear was the Chinese delegation. The flag bearer was Dayao and led a little boy next to him. He was the little hero of Sichuan Province who bravely rescued his classmates three months ago.

Pain and glory filled the hearts of all Chinese people at this time. There was constant applause, and everyone shouted in unison: "Come on, China!"

Afterwards, the leaders gave speeches, hoisted the Olympic flag, all took oaths, and Li Ning flew into the sky to light the torch.

With the fireworks all over the sky, the opening ceremony came to an end. The four-hour opening ceremony did not dampen everyone's enthusiasm. Everyone discussed the shock and satisfaction of the opening ceremony.

The owner of the food stall may be affected by the atmosphere, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet: "Today, drinks are free, and beer is free to drink."

"Boss atmosphere."

The guests cheered, and under the leadership of someone, the guests of the food stall sang "Singing the Motherland" in chorus.

Then it spread to the entire downtown, and even the university campus not far away. The voices of everyone's wanton pride resounded through this hot night.

"Five-star red flag fluttering in the wind

How loud is the victory singing
Sing our dear motherland

From now on to prosperity
......"

　This one is a little short, I will make it up tomorrow, I am fascinated by watching the opening ceremony, Lao Mouzi is really awesome
