Chapter 1185: A Small Shock in Nanyang (Second Update, Please Subscribe)
Faster, higher, stronger!

In the 12s, this Olympic motto appeared constantly in various media around the world. The quadrennial Olympic Games had long been the focus of global attention. Although satellite live broadcasts had allowed hundreds of millions of people to watch the Olympic Games four years ago and during the Melbourne Olympic Games, there were only two geostationary communication satellites in the world at that time, but now there are as many as communication satellites in space, including those in Southeast Asia, the Soviet Union, the United States, and the United Kingdom, all of which will broadcast the games. Not only that, in the past four years, tens of millions of television sets have entered thousands of households.

People's attention to the Olympics far exceeds that of any other Olympic Games.

On October 10, the first delegation to arrive in Nanyang was the Soviet Union. This was the third time the Soviet Union participated in the Olympic Games.

The 295 Olympic Games were held in Helsinki, Finland, when the Soviet Union sent a large delegation of 22 people. The Eastern big brother's Olympic debut was a blockbuster, winning 30 gold medals, 19 silver medals, and 40 bronze medals, ranking second in the gold medal list. Although the Soviet team's gold medal count was nearly half of the 70 medals of the United States, the total number of medals of the two countries was more than , which was basically at the same level.

From then on, the Olympic Games entered the era of competition between the United States and the Soviet Union.

Four years later at the Melbourne Olympics, the Soviet Union surpassed the United States and became the new champion of the Olympics with 37 gold medals.

There is no doubt that this Olympics was a competition between the Soviet Union and the United States for the top two spots in the Olympic gold medal table.

Because this was the first time that the Olympic Games were held in a tropical region, the Soviet delegation arrived in Southeast Asia half a month in advance to adapt to the climate there. It must be said that the Soviets were very well prepared.

Two Tu-114 jet airliners landed at Chang'an Airport one after the other. This time, the Soviet Union sent 285 athletes to participate in the Olympics. Including accompanying officials and coaches, the total number of delegation members exceeded 400. As soon as the large delegation arrived in Chang'an, it attracted the attention of the press. Reporters from various countries all pointed their cameras at this huge Soviet army.

After the Tu-114 landed, it slowly approached the boarding bridge under the control of the pilot - in order to welcome the arrival of the Olympic Games, Changan has carried out a lot of infrastructure updates and upgrades. Of course, such upgrades are inevitable with the advancement of technology, but they were brought forward because of the Olympic Games.

That's why billions of dollars have been spent over the past few years, even to upgrade equipment for TV stations to broadcast color signals.

As Nanyang's most important channel for external exchanges, the international airport has naturally undergone drastic renovations. The renovations of runways and other facilities include the installation of boarding bridges to replace boarding stairs. Chang'an International Airport is the first airport in the world to use boarding bridges. After all, this is an invention of Nanyang enterprises.

In any weather conditions, the boarding bridge allows passengers to board and disembark without being exposed to the sun or rain. Its head end is fixed to the central axis at the boarding gate, and the bridge body can move left and right. Both the head end and the tail end can be raised and lowered, so it can be applied to various aircraft.

After the cabin door opened, the Soviet Civil Aviation flight attendant stood by, blessing the athletes who were about to step out of the plane with a smile on their faces, looking forward to them winning glory for the country. Like everyone else, gymnast Shakhlin, who was carrying a suitcase out of the cabin, said curiously as soon as he stepped out of the cabin:
"Where's the ladder? Where's the ladder?"

What appeared before everyone was a corridor. The corridor was so cool that people could not feel the slightest heat wave. The athletes even had a feeling that this was not the tropics.

"Hey, Latynina, it seems to be cooler here than in October in Kiev."

“Yeah, it’s a bit like Moscow temperature!”

Latynina was also a competitor from Ukraine. This Olympics was the first time that every republic of the Soviet Union had athletes participating.

“Why is there no ladder when getting off the plane here?”

The athletes spoke curiously, and soon, an accompanying official reminded them:
"Don't act like you haven't seen the world. There are a lot of reporters outside. You have to pay attention to your image and don't make a fuss. What's here also existed in the Soviet Union. It's no big deal."

Another official at the side also echoed:
"Yes, just like airplanes, our Tu-114 is not only bigger, but also flies farther. It is made in the Soviet Union... It is the best in the world!"

For a moment, there was a round of approving voices all around, and then the athletes all walked along the corridor bridge with solemn expressions. Soon, they passed through customs. As an Olympic delegation, they had to be given certain preferential treatments - they were assigned two customs officers who could speak Russian, but they still had to line up.

However, as soon as they appeared, flash lights kept lighting up in the distance. Indeed, dozens of reporters were already blocking the other side. There were even some fans, some young people holding cards in their hands, shouting the names of their idols from time to time. When they came out of the customs, some fans ran over to ask for their autographs.

Shahlin, the world champion who won two gold medals in the last Olympics, also enjoyed such treatment when he walked out of customs. Satellite live broadcast has allowed these athletes to gain a group of fans, even if they are in a distant foreign country or in another world.

Facing the enthusiastic fans, Shahlin could not keep a serious expression and smiled when taking photos with them. It was really unexpected for them to meet people who admired them in this strange country.

After getting on the bus and looking at the people outside the window, Shahlin couldn't help but have a thought in his mind - this country seems different from what he imagined. The people here seem very enthusiastic. Then, the convoy drove towards the ring road leading to the east of Chang'an. This highway was built specifically for the Olympics. In order to reach the Olympic Center faster, although it bypassed the most prosperous central city of Chang'an, the athletes still saw Chang'an from the highway. Witnessing the prosperous city and tall buildings outside the window, all of them had some kind of shock in their eyes, but they didn't show it.

Finally, after the car drove into the Olympic Village, everyone in the delegation felt a certain shock. The bright and spacious houses, the air-conditioning to dispel the high temperature, and even all the rooms had refrigerators and bathrooms. Such an environment made them feel a little strange. After all, the lifestyle and the world presented here always seemed a little strange.

They have been to Helsinki, Melbourne, and other European countries to participate in competitions, but the impact on them was never as great as that of Nanyang.

Like everyone else, Shahlin also turned on the TV, a 21-inch color TV. After turning on the TV, what came into view were the images of athletes playing in the stadium and the sounds of singing.

Although he couldn't understand English, Shahlin could tell that the images on TV were all wonderful replays of the Olympic Games, including the moments when track and field athletes crossed the finish line, the shots of swimmers splashing water, and he even saw the moment when he won the gold medal on the pommel horse.

"Oh my God, what is this?"

……

This is music television!

It is a MV, the world's first music television. Two months ago, the Changan Olympic Organizing Committee announced the theme song of this Olympic Games through television. Before the Changan Olympic Games, no Olympic Games had a theme song.

This is the first time!
When this video, composed of some highlights from the previous Olympic Games and the images of the Olympic flame being relayed in Nanyang, was combined with songs and spread around the world through communications engineering and television, the whole world was stunned.

Not stunned, but astonished.

Before this, no one thought that music could be like this, and no one thought that those wonderful moments would be so touching. In an instant, this Olympic theme song, along with the MV, became popular music around the world, especially in English-speaking regions such as the United States and Britain.

Because it is an English song itself.

Because of its popularity, some well-known singers in the UK and the US even wanted to go to Southeast Asia to find producers to make similar MVs for them.

But obviously, this is impossible.

After all, the producer of this MV is Li Yian. In fact, he activated his music skills a long time ago. With the support of the system, Li Yian's talent in music is definitely at the master level. What's more, what he needs is not originality, but plagiarism.

When choosing the theme song for the Olympics, he even thought of plagiarizing Queen's "We Are the Champions", but there were no suitable rock singers in Nanyang, so he gave up the idea and finally chose one from those Olympic theme songs. As for singers, there were quite a few in Nanyang, including those from Tangshan and some from Europe.

Songs and singers alone are not enough. In order to promote Nanyang as much as possible, Li Yian naturally thought of MVs. Although he is not an expert in making MVs, he has seen pigs walk even if he has never eaten pork. After all, when the Olympics were hot, he had watched and listened to many Olympic theme song MVs and also watched the promotional MVs of the University of Tokyo. He just learned from them.

So, after a little guidance, the world's first MV came out, and the singer was Irina, a female singer who has been quite famous in Nanyang in the past two years. Although she is of European descent, she is definitely a symbol of Nanyang.

Her mother is French, her biological father is a German officer who died on the Eastern Front. Her adoptive father? He is a veteran of the Allied Special Operations Forces, and their wedding was held in Notre Dame de Paris. She fully embodies the ethnic unity of Nanyang.

Of course, what is more important is that her singing voice is really beautiful. After all, Elena's mother is an opera singer herself. Not only has she studied music since childhood, but she also has a good voice. Otherwise, she would not have become a popular singer in Nanyang at the age of 17 with an inter-school performance.

Of course, in Li Yian's opinion, the reason why she was able to become a famous singer was largely due to her appearance - that face was extremely similar to Isabelle Adjani, which almost made him wonder if Adjani was born more than ten years earlier.

But we have to admit that her singing voice is indeed like heavenly music. After all, a singer's fame is not just based on her pretty face.

Watching the singer on TV and listening to her singing, Li Yian nodded with satisfaction and said to himself:
"Choosing this song should be a pretty good choice!"
