Chapter 370 Finalizing the Opening Ceremony Performance
After spending a pleasant night in the beauty salon, Jiang Changsheng returned to the manor.

On the morning of September 9, after personally examining Liu Xiaoli's body, Jiang Changsheng brought Liu Xiaoli to the Beiyuan Conference Building.

I came to the headquarters of the director team for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Yanjing Olympic Games again. The atmosphere at this time was much more relaxed than last time.

There were bright smiles on everyone's faces. When Zhang Yimou saw Jiang Changsheng, he immediately invited him to the reception room to make tea.

Jiang Changsheng joked: "It's ok, Director Zhang, it's time to make tea."

Zhang Yimou smiled so that the creases on his face came out, and he said: "The framework of the opening ceremony plan has been fully drawn out, and the higher-ups have also agreed.

The busyness of this period has finally paid off, and everyone can breathe a sigh of relief and take a short break.

After the general direction is determined, the details will be selected program by program. "

Jiang Changsheng said: "Congratulations, the way to work is to relax and relax, and you really should take a break, especially those who are engaged in artistic creation.

If you push too hard, you will not be inspired. "

Before Zhang Yimou could speak, Cheng Danqing who was next to him said, "Compared to inspiration, it's still Mr. Jiang's brilliant pen. You came up with several ideas for the opening ceremony.

And your songs are popular now, my buddies abroad said, your "Unstoppable", "Move Your Body" and "Centuries", these three songs are very popular abroad, many foreign fans listened to this song , all know and even look forward to the Yanjing Olympics.

Your propaganda power alone is stronger than the entire government. "

Cheng Danqing is anti-physical, and he always criticizes the official. Jiang Changsheng said with a smile: "The MVs for these three songs of mine were filmed with the cooperation of the official. They are the result of everyone's hard work."

After star sky, Jiang Changsheng released the MVs of three English songs one after another, which are "Unstoppable", "Move Your Body" and "Centuries" mentioned by Cheng Danqing. Compared with star sky, which is more pure music Works, these three songs are popular songs.

And the rhythm is dynamic, and once launched, it is very popular.

Many fans are already appealing to Jiang Changsheng to release the new album as soon as possible, because there is only the MV, and many scenes cannot listen to the song, especially for some running and sports enthusiasts, they need the audio version.

However, Jiang Changsheng was unmoved, and still planned to release a new album on October 10st. During this period, he will also release the MVs of Victory and Brave.

Talking about singing, Zhang Yimou said: "The theme song for the Olympic Games has been decided. What to sing, we have to keep it secret now, but you are the singer, and it is unanimously agreed."

Jiang Changsheng nodded: "No problem, don't worry about my singing skills."

Teacher Niu Huan's singing skills were top-notch at the time, but it may be because of the tone. When he sang Me and You with Sarah Brightman in his previous life, the overall effect was not as good as that of Brightman.

If Jiang Changsheng came to sing, of course there would be no such problem, his treble could be higher than that of Brightman.

Zhang Yimou looked at Liu Xiaoli, who was bright and majestic beside Jiang Changsheng. Even after seeing it many times, a sense of astonishment still inevitably rose in his eyes.

"Changsheng, you brought Liu Xiaoli here, has she fully recovered from her injuries?"

Jiang Changsheng took a sip of tea and said, "Yes, Miss Xiaoli is fully recovered.

She hasn't had much work recently, she mainly takes care of apprentices in the Chu Yun Song and Dance Troupe, and she can spend the rest of her time training with the opening ceremony. "

During the period when Liu Xiaoli was recovering from her injuries, the performances of the Chu Yun Song and Dance Troupe did not stop. Liu Xiaoli's big apprentice Zhang Susu took Liu Xiaoli's place, and they still toured all over the country.

Although without Liu Xiaoli, the tickets are not particularly easy to sell, but the attendance rate can often reach [-] to [-]%, which is very good, and the dance troupe members can support themselves without Liu Xiaoli.

Seeing that Zhang Yimou had doubts, Jiang Changsheng said, "Let's practice in the big classroom."

Several people came to the large classroom, where a bunch of children were training hard, preparing for the Olympic opening ceremony.

Jiang Changsheng didn't bother them, but came to an open space with Liu Xiaoli.

He grabbed Liu Xiaoli's waist, and with a gentle push, he threw Liu Xiaoli four or five meters into the air.

Liu Xiaoli once again showed a graceful dance in mid-air.

Although the two haven't danced together for a long time, they cooperated very well, and a set of dance moves was easily displayed.

Jiang Changsheng is mighty and Liu Xiaoli is elegant. The dance of the two together, one yin and one yang, one soft and one strong, is extremely beautiful.

Zhang Yimou looked at it, and there was a trace of tears in his eyes, and he said with emotion: "The last time I saw them dance was at the Athens Olympic Games, and more than three years passed in a flash.

Time flies so fast, I feel a lot older, but Jiang Changsheng and Liu Xiaoli really haven't changed much in appearance.

This dance is as beautiful as ever. "

Cheng Danqing, Zhang Jigang and others watched Jiang Changsheng and Liu Xiaoli's dance on TV before, but watching it live this time, the feeling of shock is completely different.

Zhang Jigang sighed, and said: "It's a pity, such a good show has been performed in the closing ceremony of Athens, otherwise it would be better to stay in the opening ceremony."

Zhang Yimou said: "It's okay, we can design Liu Xiaoli's water sleeve dance to show better effects when flying into the sky and lifting the Olympic rings."

Jiang Changsheng didn't jump too much either. After all, Liu Xiaoli had rested for more than four months and her body had just recovered, so she had to proceed step by step.

Zhang Yimou looked at Liu Xiaoli, who was a little out of breath, and praised: "Mr. Liu is worthy of being an internationally famous national treasure dancer. For ordinary people who fall from a high altitude, it is estimated that it will take a long time of psychological work before they dare to carry out high-altitude operations again.

You have directly overcome your own psychological barriers, strong! "

Liu Xiaoli said thank you very politely, without further explanation.

Her mentality is the same as that of her daughter Liu Yifei, as long as Jiang Changsheng is by her side, she will have an absolute sense of security, enough to move forward bravely, and have the courage to face any difficulties.

After the rehearsal, it was decided that Liu Xiaoli would join the performance at the opening ceremony.

Zhang Yimou said again: "Changsheng, the higher ups are holding an Olympic essay contest, didn't you participate?"

Jiang Changsheng glanced at Zhang Yimou in surprise, and asked, "The higher-ups have approached me, but I rejected it. What does this have to do with you? Why are you asking this?"

Zhang Yimou rubbed his nose and explained very far-fetchedly: "Didn't I hear that your novel "A Clockwork Girl" won the Best Novel Science Fiction at this year's Nebula Awards? Can write a classic novel about the Olympics.

So let me remind you. "

Jiang Changsheng understood instantly: "I'm writing a novel about the Olympics, and you are the director of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympics. Then you can justifiably adapt the novel I wrote about the Olympics into a movie and shoot it."

Zhang Yimou chuckled and did not deny it.

As he got older, Zhang Yimou became more and more aware of his own limitations. He gradually realized the weakness of his films, that is, the storyline was not strong enough.

A good script is needed to support it.

If you want to say who is the best screenwriter in China right now, it is of course Jiang Changsheng.

At the end of August, the science fiction novel Clockwork Girl he wrote for Lin Yiya won the Nebula Award.

The Nebula Award is one of the three science fiction awards. This is the first time a writer from Huaguo has won this award, but Jiang Changsheng did not go to accept the award.

This novel was written for Lin Yiya, and he asked Xiaoya to accept the award on his behalf, and let her travel abroad to relax.

This girl is too crazy to do experiments, and she has a tendency to become obsessed.

Jiang Changsheng often finds various reasons for her to rest.

Once Lin Yiya entered the experimental rhythm, her relatives would not recognize her, and she would not even listen to Chen Mang's words. Only Jiang Changsheng had the ability to drive her abroad to play for a while.

Jiang Changsheng said: "I don't have any inspiration recently, I seldom write novels, the Olympics is like this, I am writing songs to promote, and I am providing ideas for the opening ceremony.

I also sang the theme song. If I have contributed enough, I will not participate in the writing. "

Several people chatted for a while, mainly agreeing on the plan and time of Liu Xiaoli's training.

Under Jiang Changsheng's care, the plan arrangement is more reasonable.

The training time is neither particularly intensive nor long. After all, the scenes of Liu Xiaoli flying into the sky are not long, at most half a minute to 1 minute.

After finishing Liu Xiaoli's performance at the opening ceremony, Jiang Changsheng rejected Zhang Yimou's invitation to have dinner together, but left the Beiyuan Conference Building with Liu Xiaoli.

The two of them didn't go home either, but took a car together to the Dadi Theater. Liu Xiaoli was going to the theater to instruct her apprentices. After her body recovered, she officially entered the working state.

The whole person is also more energetic than staying at home.

On the way, Jiang Changsheng warned: "You support your return to the stage, but in the future, the frequency of performances should be reduced as much as possible.

I have communicated with you about the selection of next year's awards and professional titles, and you are sure.

In the future, you will be the top dancer in the country, whether it is popularity, honor, or position, you can show it.

As a senior, you can divert some of your energies into your teaching career.

Lead more students in the dance troupe, or be a judge on dance TV shows, and give pointers to younger generations.

If you are dancing, you can also dance more on the ground, which is not so exhausting. "

According to her actual age, Liu Xiaoli is 48 years old this year, and she will be over 50 in a few years. She can still hang steel wires in the air at will, which is indeed a bit too high-profile.

In order not to attract too much attention, Liu Xiaoli should reduce the high-altitude dance performances, do more ground dances, or do some behind-the-scenes work.

Liu Xiaoli also knew about Jiang Changsheng's concerns, so she nodded and said, "Don't worry, I have my sense of proportion. After this opening performance, I feel that my dancing career is perfect.

Later, it will be regarded as a hobby and can be developed at will. "

Regarding Liu Xiaoli, Jiang Changsheng is still very at ease. She is decisive and has rich experience. She does not need Jiang Changsheng to interfere too much. Unlike Liu Yifei, she is still fierce and impulsive as always.

After the two came to the theater, Liu Xiaoli went to work in the dance troupe.

Jiang Changsheng came to the fifth floor and went directly to Zhu Zhu's office.
