-The highlight of the opening ceremony of the Guangzhou Asian Games

Xinhuanet Guangzhou111Sports Special (Reporter Wang Yong and Jia Wenjun) After more than two years of careful preparation, the opening ceremony of the Guangzhou Asian Games will be officially staged in Haixinsha Island. 1 12. This audio-visual cultural feast created by many top artists at home and abroad is splendid.

Highlight 1: the "trapeze" that suffocates the audience.

It's exciting to dive from the top of a building nearly 80 meters. 180 how does it feel to dive from the top of 80 meters in unison? "Sail of White Clouds" is such a thrilling, exciting, romantic and warm nine-minute performance jointly created by artists from Tagou Martial Arts School in Henan and boys from Wulin. During the rehearsal, the scene of diving many times in the program has made the audience nervous and almost suffocated.

The music of this program is sometimes passionate and sometimes romantic and lyrical. John powell, the composer of the blockbuster X-Men and Kung Fu Panda, and the music director of the closing ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games co-wrote and produced it.

With the cooperation of 180 athletes, ground 1284 operators and 100 technical support personnel, a fascinating three-dimensional performance was performed in front of the audience from four octagonal sails more than 80 meters high. This is a new attempt to boldly innovate and challenge the limits, not only for Asia, but also for the world. In this unique space, they embraced many sports elements, such as surfing, mountaineering, swimming, hurdles and so on. , showing the vigorous development of the national fitness campaign in China, and wonderfully interpreting the faster, higher and stronger sportsmanship of mankind. In the end, 180 athletes turned into eight giant eagles spreading their wings and flying. Fly to the blue sky and sprint into the future.

Highlight 2: The "boat of the sea" created by the dance master even the acrobats once flinched.

200 fisherman girls stood by the sea with fishing lights in their hands, watching the men set foot on the "Silk Road" on the long sea. In the majestic sound of the trumpet, 600 frolicters, Qi Xin, joined forces to lift a huge ship. Like every departure, the vast and mysterious sea challenges them and gives life a national strength!

This "great ship" with a length of 28.8m, a width of 8m and a height of18m is an "ocean boat" jointly built by Mark Fischer, a world-class dancer, and Miao Peiru, a dancer from China. It can roll and rotate 360 degrees horizontally and vertically. Sailors played by 45 acrobats and dancers, led by a boatswain, sailed into the sea and fought in the stormy waves. In the peaks and valleys of lightning and thunder, the sailors shouted, the sailboat was sometimes thrown to the top, and sometimes fell to the bottom, and the ship was bumping and shaking ... The sailors fought against the huge waves to death. Performing on such a special stage as the Rolling Stone Boat is beyond imagination. Finally, acrobats from Henan were selected to perform on the mast and other parts of the ship. However, after the original ship arrived in Guangzhou for installation at the end of 65438+February last year, during the first rehearsal, the center of gravity could not be found with a little shaking, and it was impossible to perform the action performance when boarding. For a whole week, it was completely used to adapt to this extremely "simulated" ship, and many of these acrobatic masters with stunts backed out. In the end, the difficulties such as seasickness were overcome, and the rehearsal of the "boat of the sea" was magnificent and became a highlight of the opening ceremony of the Guangzhou Asian Games.

The third highlight: the visual wonders carved by the world's largest lighting group.

Sha Xiaogang, 48, is the lighting director of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Beijing Olympic and Paralympic Games. Sha Xiaolan, the lighting director of the opening ceremony team of Guangzhou Asian Games, carved the night sky in Guangzhou into a rare visual spectacle with the colors and shapes of the lights, which is a rare masterpiece.

The opening ceremony of the Asian Games was held on Haixinsha Island, with the Pearl River as the stage and the city as the background, giving Sha Xiaolan seven kilometers of space on both sides of the Pearl River for him and his team to fully display their talents. They used more than 2000 searchlights, more than 2000 computer lights and more than 5000 professional lights, creating the world's largest lighting city performance art.

In the preface to the opening ceremony, with the infinite spread of water waves and gorgeous lasers on Haixinsha Island, the world's largest fountain array was opened, and the spectacular water feature of 170 meters long and 38 meters high was like a dream. Under the starry sky, on the Pearl River, the 80-meter-high video giant sail proudly rises in front of the audience. Fireworks and searchlights on both sides of the Pearl River turned Haixinsha Island into an unprecedented Asian "Harmony" ship, and set sail at the South Gate of China, the Pearl River Estuary and the "Asian Games Night".

In the "Green Minute" of the opening ceremony, in just 60 seconds, the lighting turned Guang Zhouta, which is more than 600 meters high, into a towering green tree of life in Asia. The main buildings around Haixinsha Island and on both sides of the Pearl River turn green instantly. Let people find the feeling of green home in the reinforced concrete city, and call on the people of the whole city to move a pot of flowers or a bunch of green plants at home to the balcony and window at this moment, so that the stars can see it and the world can see it. Starting from Haixinsha Island, 2,000 high-power LED searchlights in the main venue and on both sides of the Pearl River changed color into green wave corridors. This is a rare exhibition of lighting art that permeates from vision to heart.

Highlight 4: The emblem of the Pearl River Asian Games is comparable to the "Bird's Nest" dream five rings.

There are frequent highlights of the opening ceremony on Haixinsha Island, and there are also very creative displays on the Pearl River near Haixinsha Island. The huge LED optical network with the emblem of the Olympic Council of Asia and the emblem of the Asian Games flashing alternately flows in the sea sand waters above the Pearl River. From the banks of the Pearl River, especially the high-rise buildings above and around Guangzhou, we can feel the sportsmanship and romantic elements conveyed by the emblem of the River.

After the creative element of the opening ceremony of the Asian Games was identified as "water", the idea of "stretching a Pearl River picture" was born in the mind of Mr. Lu Jiankang, the production director of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Asian Games. In the Pearl River Parade on the night of the opening ceremony, the marine optical network displaying the emblem of OCA and the emblem of Guangzhou Asian Games and the floating boat representing the OCA family completed this huge picture.

By means of high-tech stage display, the emblem of the Games was combined with the artistic expression of the opening ceremony of the Games, which was a great success at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games. At the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games, when the image of the Olympic emblem, the five rings, unexpectedly rose on the "Bird's Nest" stage in the form of LED optical network, the romantic and aesthetic feeling deeply touched the audience. At the opening ceremony of Guangzhou Asian Games, the LED emblem optical network was chosen to flow along the Pearl River to Haixinsha, which also had strong visibility. It is reported that in order to build this water surface optical network, 500,000 led spots were used, and it took 500 skilled technicians five days to manually weave an LED optical network with a length of 42 meters, a width of 48 meters and an area of more than 2,000 square meters. After repeated tests, this "water emblem" is not afraid of wind and waves, nor of rain.

Highlight 5: The gorgeous fireworks of the world's top masters with Guang Zhouta's "small waist" as the core.

On the night of the opening ceremony, a Chinese and foreign team composed of Christopher, the world's top fireworks master, and liu ling, the top fireworks expert from China, will display the splendid fireworks wonders carefully built around the waist of the villain in Guang Zhouta, more than 600 meters high, providing rare viewing opportunities for Guangzhou citizens and tourists.

Christopher, a famous French fireworks master and chief fireworks designer for the opening ceremony of the Guangzhou Asian Games, has designed fireworks displays for the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France, the opening ceremony of the Athens Olympic Games and the Burj Dubai. Liu ling, 54, is the chief architect of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Asian Games. He is the director and on-site conductor of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Beijing Olympic Games, and also the technical coordinator of the fireworks headquarters for the 60th anniversary of the National Day.

They carefully designed and set off romantic and wonderful fireworks in the night sky of Guangzhou, the Asian Games City, centering on the bridges on Guang Zhouta, Haixinsha Island and Pearl River, and centering on the theme of the opening ceremony. Guang Zhouta, more than 600 meters high, is the main carrier of the 55-second countdown. The "red cotton blossoms" outlined by fireworks lines are comparable to the "big footprints" of the Beijing Olympic Games.

torrential rain

The first highlight of the opening ceremony was the Guangdong nursery rhyme "It's raining hard" sung by children. Performers sit on banana leaves more than ten stories high, from top to bottom, from right to left, or floating or stopping, and the audio-visual effect of the prelude is fascinating. In addition, it rained heavily more than once at the opening ceremony. Although it appeared twice, it felt completely different.

I believe that many people have never heard of what the "German Drums" look like. At the opening ceremony, the audience can see nearly 600 young people beating the "German-hunting Drum" with Guangzhou characteristics.

"Green Minute" is the only part of the opening ceremony of the Asian Games, and it is also a kind of performance art that transcends time and space and has no borders. By then, all the audience can take the green plants out of the balcony and participate in this green action.

The ceremony is so mysterious.

How was the torch of the Asian Games lit? On water, on land or in the air? This has always been regarded as a first-class secret.

The cauldron on the stage

The center of the circle rises.

Usually, we will see the main torch of the Asian Games that has been built in the main venue of the opening ceremony, but at present, there is no trace of the main torch on the stage during the day. Where is it hidden? The answer lies in the "heart" of Haixinsha. In the last part of the opening ceremony, the water stage will become an origin square, and you will see the cauldron rising from the ground.

After the cauldron appears, you will see a sacred "water collection" ceremony. 45 holy water girls from all directions in Asia arrived at the center of the venue, filled with civilized water from major water systems in Asia, and collectively poured holy water into the cauldron to complete the ceremony.

1990 The Beijing Asian Games is the first time that New China has hosted a large-scale international comprehensive sports meeting. 1985 In April, the Beijing Asian Games Organizing Committee was established. The following year, the Asian Games, including the National Olympic Sports Center and the Athletes' Village, broke ground on hundreds of hectares of farmland at the northern end of Beijing's central axis. At the same time, a number of supporting projects have been launched. Most sections of the North Fourth Ring Road were completed before the Asian Games, which was 10 years earlier than the completion of the Fourth Ring Road. The central axis road extends from Gulou Outer Street to North Fourth Ring Road. 1The Second Ring Road, the first expressway around the city that started construction in the early 1960s, also accelerated the pace of construction, and finally became 1992. It lasted four years and invested 2.5 billion yuan. This is another large-scale construction in Beijing since the "Top Ten Buildings" such as the Great Hall of the People were built in the 1960s.

Compared with the shortage of funds for the Beijing Asian Games, the Guangzhou Asian Games is not stingy in terms of investment. "In order to run the Asian Games well, the investment in competition operation and venues is * *136 billion yuan, and the remaining 109 billion yuan is the investment in key infrastructure construction in Guangzhou during the six years from 2005 to 20 10." Jason Ming, director of the Guangzhou Municipal Finance Bureau, explained the overall distribution of financial investment of about 654.38+0226 billion yuan. "654.38+009 billion is divided into four parts, of which 54.7 billion was spent on opening only five new subway lines, 654.38+085 billion was spent on road and bridge construction, 654.38+090 billion was spent on comprehensive environmental improvement, and 6543.8+060 was spent on it.

Sponsor 2: 53

The Beijing Asian Games of 1990 needs 2.5 billion yuan, but the country's financial resources are limited and it cannot be fully allocated, leaving a gap of 600 million yuan. At that time, more than 654.38 billion people donated money and materials, including 270 million yuan, and the National Self-employed Association donated 20.5 million yuan. In addition to donations from ordinary people, Jianlibao and Anta became rare sponsors of the Beijing Asian Games. In particular, Jianlibao was designated as the exclusive sports drink of the China Sports Delegation on April 28th 1 1 Beijing Asian Games. In addition, the total sponsorship amount of Jianlibao reached 1600.

After a lapse of 20 years, through the reform and opening up and economic system reform, the number of sponsors of Guangzhou Asian Games has reached 53, with the sponsorship amount exceeding 3 billion yuan. The number of participants and the amount of sponsorship in this Guangzhou Asian Games are the highest in previous Asian Games: the amount of sponsorship is five times that of Doha Asian Games and 3.5 times that of Busan Asian Games in South Korea. Among the sponsors, the sponsorship fee of Guangzhou Automobile Group reached a record 600 million yuan, and the sponsorship fee of Samsung Electronics and 36 1 was also more than 200 million yuan.

Additional added value

After the successful hosting of the Asian Games in Beijing, the Asian Games Village plot became a weather vane in the ups and downs of the previous housing market. Now the housing price of the Asian Games Village plot is absolutely sky-high for people 20 years ago.

The convening of the Asian Games in Guangzhou is also agreed by the outside world that it will bring greater comprehensive effects to the city of Guangzhou.
