I'm the director, I'm not bad

Chapter 53 052. The Phoenix Nest
Approaching 9 o'clock.

The Audi car was parked in the parking space at the entrance of the Olympic Building.

Yu Zhen and Xu Xin got out of the car, she walked in front, and Xu Xin followed to help carry the bag.

The guard didn't stop him, but after asking a question, he let them go.

Then, the two entered the elevator.

Yu Zhen was still a little worried, and explained:
"Stay calm for a while, do you hear me?"

"Hey, I understand, don't worry."

Xu Xin smiled and nodded.

Then, the elevator doors opened.

As soon as the door was opened, Xu Xin heard a sentence:

"It has to come this way! I think it's okay!"

Then...the smell of second-hand smoke overwhelming.

And the people in the entire Olympic Building were off work, and the lights were on in the big meeting room, and the two of them walked directly there.

Just listen to the voice say:
"We have to be clear that what we want to convey to the world is an act. An act full of peace, love, and smiles. After recognizing this point of view, let's start looking for a carrier..."

The voice was familiar, and when the two of them reached the door of the meeting room, Xu Xin already knew who was talking.

Short cropped hair, dark skin, strong body, wearing a turtleneck sweater, was talking to Zhang Yimou, who was talking to about a dozen people in the office, until Yu Zhen appeared.

He stopped, and a chubby middle-aged man in a suit who looked about 50 years old in the conference room waved to Jane:
"Yu Yu, come here, sit here...is he...?"

The middle-aged man was taken aback when he saw Xu Xin who was carrying the bag for Yu Zhen behind him.

Yu Zhen hurriedly bowed:

"Director Ma, Director Zhang, I'm sorry I'm late. My wife came back from a business trip today, drank some wine, and couldn't drive anymore, so I just asked my student to give me a ride. My student, Xu Xin."

"Hello, teachers."

Xu Xin hurriedly bowed to say hello.

Zhang Yimou didn't say anything, just nodded and asked the other people sitting in the meeting room:

"What do you think?"

And Yu Zhen was also beckoned by Ma Xingmin, and led Xu Xin around a long way to him.

"You sit over there."

Yu Zhen explained in a low voice, pointed to the stool next to the wall behind her, and sat next to Ma Xingmin.

Naturally, Xu Xin didn't feel that he was qualified to sit on the chair next to the table in the conference room.

So he nodded, and sat in the back dutifully.

Yu Zhen didn't talk to Ma Xingmin either, after all Zhang Yimou was there asking for everyone's opinions.

Xu Xin also lowered his sense of presence, and at the same time looked at the people in the conference room.

A dozen people, both men and women, are all in their 40s and [-]s, and some of them are wearing army green shirts...

And the people in the meeting room are discussing in a hurry.

"Then what exactly is this behavior?"

"I think it's a bit empty. The first idea is "behavior", that is to say, what we want to show people is an action and attitude..."

"That is the core of love and peace... From the outside to the inside?"

"Is this point of view too connotative? Foreigners like to read straightforward things, and they don't necessarily understand the core of our thinking. If you talk to him about Confucianism, can he understand it?"

Discussions, rebuttals, and voices of approval emerged one after another.

But Xu Xin was a little surprised.

Because he noticed that from the time these people started talking, Zhang Yimou, who was standing at the door of the conference room and also at the front, began to hold his arms in his arms and pinch his chin to think.

It doesn't look like it's meant to be asserted.

This made him feel quite fresh.

He doesn't chase stars himself, but Zhang Yimou is famous after all.

This kind of great director... In his concept, he should be the same as James Cameron who filmed "Titanic", a studio tyrant or something.

It turned out that the other party was not like this, but followed everyone's opinions and showed a thinking appearance...

It's not going alone.

Immediately, Xu Xin's impression of Zhang Yimou was much higher.

Of course... this can only be said in my heart.

Do you want outsiders to know that you rate Zhang Yimou?
Are you kidding me?
With keys?
Are you worthy?
How many?
And during the few minutes of everyone's discussion, three or four more people came.

They all seemed to know each other, and each found a seat and sat down.

And they were all sitting at the edge of the table, and Xu Xin was alone on the stool against the wall.

And at this time, taking advantage of their discussion, Xu Xin saw a stack of manuscript paper on the stool next to him.

Blank.

There is also a pen next to it.

Don't know who put it here.

He didn't care, and didn't dare to move, just listened obediently.

To be honest, this group of people did seem to be holding a discussion meeting. They didn't hold on to their identities, but expressed their opinions and discussed the so-called "behavior".

The discussion is estimated to last one to two 10 minutes.

During this period, a few more people came.

However, no concrete conclusion has been reached.

At this moment, Zhang Yimou simply waved his hand:

"Let's put this question aside for now, let's talk about the next one first... I had an idea when I was on the plane, about the torch, let me tell you about it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Xin keenly noticed that the horse guide next to Teacher Yu tilted his head, and put his mouth next to Teacher Yu's ear and muttered a few words.

Teacher Yu glanced at himself and nodded to express his understanding.

Xu Xin turned his mind a few times, and probably understood what the two of them were talking about.

Just keep it a secret.

Because of Teacher Yu's face, I can sit here.

In terms of communication, the other party doesn't care, but the content of the discussion is required to be kept confidential, right?

That's what it should mean.

So, Xu Xin thought about it, took out his Nokia phone, and pressed the power off button.

Some abrupt Nokia shutdown bells sounded.

Yu Zhen turned her head subconsciously, and saw that the student stuffed the turned off mobile phone into her bag, and then... stood up and bowed her waist, and handed her bag over.

Then... the horse guide who also noticed Xu Xin was surprised at first, then nodded, and smiled at Xu Xin before turning his head away.

At this time, Zhang Yimou's voice sounded:

"I want to change the name of our bird's nest to Fengchao."

"..."

"..."

"..."

As soon as he said that, everyone in the audience looked at each other in blank dismay.

Including Xu Xin.

The name Bird's Nest...isn't it already decided?

Your old man, this is...

"Look, why is it called Phoenix Nest? That's what I thought. The torch is a feather, do you understand? When the torchbearer runs to the passing place, everyone will be guessing how we should light it, right?"

He began the gesticulating demonstration.

"Let's ignite the feather, and then the feather will go around the field..."

Drawing circles with his hands in front of him, Zhang Yimou continued:
"Walking around the field, and after arriving at a certain position, the fire of the feathers suddenly ignites, and then these fires follow... just like a fan, do you understand?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Who understands?
No, none of us understand.

A group of people were dumbfounded.

But Zhang Yimou seemed to feel that what he said was not complete enough, so he continued to add:
"It's like this, Feather, let's talk about the torch. It circles the screen, and there are animations of the five continents. It flies over the five continents, and then waits for everyone to come in and take a look... Where is the main torch? Empty? Then the big flaming feather flew around the field, and then flew to the position of the main torch, and the torch opened slowly from the bottom like a fan... catch it..."

"Snapped!"

He clasped his hands together:
"It's the torch, see?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Silent.

A group of people still couldn't imagine the effect he said.

In fact, it is normal, because this picture is only in Zhang Yimou's mind, and it needs to be described in words. It is normal for people to not understand it when it is matched with his gaudy movements.

But Xu Xin frowned slowly.

For some reason...a picture from the dream popped up in his mind...

Or... the appearance of a torch.

Feng Nest?feather?torch? ...

He looked left and right... well, well, no one was paying attention to him.

So, he picked up the draft paper and pen next to him.

As I said before, Xu Xin draws very well.

He seems to have a natural intuition for composition. When other children in kindergarten are drawing houses, he has already started sketching.

Still without a teacher.

So, he picked up a pen and began to sketch according to the picture in his mind.

Well, the angle should be the stands.

It has to be the angle of looking up.

Then there is the venue of the Bird's Nest...

On the ceiling of the arena, he deliberately left a square to be used as a screen.

Then, he stroked Zhang Yimou's description, and drew a phoenix feather that took up half the length of the venue in the four squares on the screen.

The lines of the feathers are soft and at first glance appear to be burning.

Then on the side of the bird's nest, he outlined a torch shape that looked like a swirling ribbon.

The picture is very rough, just a stick figure, but at least the shape is there.

But Xu Xin was not satisfied yet.

It's just painting the feathers, and what about the torch.

So, he started to draw the section again, and then at the top of the section, he outlined a figure of a torch revolving like a scroll.

And also carefully outlined the flame pattern on the edge of the scroll.

Two pictures, one page.

It took less than six or seven minutes to finish painting.

Anyway, it is a sketch, and the speed is quite fast.

At the moment, everyone is still discussing the possibility of changing the name of the Bird's Nest.

The final conclusion is that you can give it a try.

Feng Nest?

Hearing what they said, Xu Xin wrote a few words under the draft paper:

"Phoenix Nest"

"Bird's Nest"

Then, while listening to them discussing the meaning of the phoenix, he thought about it, and then wrote in his notebook:
"Phoenix Nest——Phoenix, rebirth from the ashes, ancient mythology, auspiciousness, a metaphor for the rebirth of the celestial dynasty."

"Bird's Nest - love, peace, cradle, birth of new life, hope."

When others discussed the meaning, he directly wrote a comparison between the two.

Then I thought about it...

In the column of Fengchao, the whole paragraph is marked with an "X".

He thinks the name "Bird's Nest" is better.

But I have to admit that if the torch is really lit according to the situation in the picture...

indeed...

Very shocking.

And while he was thinking, the meeting continued.

Discussions are also continuing.
