Exploiting Hollywood 1980

   Chapter 546 The Opening Ceremony Should Break Dance

   The next afternoon, Ronald and Brooke came to the Los Angeles Memorial Stadium early to participate in the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.

   This stadium was built for the first Olympic Games in 1932. After refurbishment this year, it can accommodate 93,000 spectators.

  The stadium was full of seats, making people feel very small inside, Ronald looked up at the broadcast camera. This kind of big scene also needs to be directed. This time the Olympic Organizing Committee invited David Wolper, the director of the famous TV series "Roots".

  The stadium is very big, Brooke's seat is very close to the front VIP seats, Ronald's ticket is just behind her not far above.

  Because the organizing committee said hello in advance, they would give Brooke a shot. The two agreed to sneak up to meet Ronald after Brooke finished the mission.

Ronald found his seat by himself, right next to the aisle of the second floor stand. The line of sight here is very good, that is, there is a tall man with a red neck in front, wearing a sun hat, a pair of tattered shorts, and a pair of very old The shoes are very sloppy, very like the homeless on the streets of Los Angeles.

   Ronald wanted to change his seat, and he made a noise, which was heard by the red neck in front, and he turned his head.

   "Ronald, so coincidentally, you are also in this stand?"

   "Steven, what's wrong with you? Why are you dressed like this?" Ronald discovered that the homeless person was actually Spielberg who met at the airport yesterday.

   "Shh, I want to watch an opening ceremony quietly, and I don't want to be recognized by reporters."

   "Oh", Ronald turned to the next row and sat next to him, and the two pointed to the chairman's box opposite.

   "Is that the great commander?"

   "The one next to him seems to be the president of the Olympic Committee, Samaranch."

   "The one in the back is Prince Charles of Britain?"

   "It seems that his wife didn't come?"

   "I read the newspaper that I was about to have my second child."

   "How many cameras did you see?"

   "Six, right? Maybe there's a helicopter shot."

   The two discussed the program schedule while watching. They are both directors. This opening ceremony is the first time a large-scale cultural performance has been arranged, and both of them are very interested.

"Oh!"

   The two directors let out an exclamation, and two trapeze men dressed as astronauts flew in the sky. There was no wire suspension. They descended entirely on the compressed air on their backs and slowly landed in the stadium.

   "Beep beep..." A whistle sounded, and young people in white clothes in the stadium patted several piles. The balloons in their hands formed the words "Welcome".

   "How did these young people get it? It's a hassle to rehearse." Ronald was interested.

   "I heard that I was looking for volunteers from high school students in Los Angeles, and they rehearsed for more than two months."

   Group gymnastics began to change again. Separated and closed, they turned into flowers.

  A young girl with a white hat came down the aisle and gave flowers to all the audience.

   "Mr. Spielberg?" The girl recognized the famous director.

   "Shh," Spielberg gestured to her. The girl is not entangled.

   "The President of the United States of America, First Lady, Mr. Samaranch, President of the International Olympic Committee." The loudspeaker began to introduce the guests on the podium.

   With the national anthem of America, and the special background music of the grand commander "Salute to the Commander-in-Chief" played by the live band, the following group gymnastics began to change their formations. One moment it was a rhombus, the next it was a circle.

   Then they let go of the balloons in their hands, and hundreds of balloons flew off the field, telling everyone in Los Angeles that the opening ceremony had begun.

  The live band played a compilation of Hollywood and Broadway historical songs, and the group gymnastics below began to change from march to march, and finally turned into a five-ring shape.

   Ronald applauded, it seems that America's mass group gymnastics are also doing a good job, not worse than the last Moscow.

The    TV station broadcast the footage and began to scan the front row of guest stars on the runway. The camera swept to Bo Ji Xiaosi, who made a cute scissor hand to the camera.

   "This is a famous college student from our famous university, a model, a movie star, a top student at Princeton, Brooke Shields." The host in the studio began to joke.

   With the opening ceremony, the group gymnastics began to form the shape of a map of the United States, and caravans drove in.

   Then group gymnastics turned into steamboats, and then into churches.

  This is telling the history of America, with many extras rushing in, and the gymnasts opening the colorful curtains to simulate the stained glass on the church windows.

   A choir composed of several blacks began to lead.

   Ronald understood that this was a gesture of racial unity.

   Next was a modern song and dance performance, and the theme song "Fame" of "Famous in the World" was reminded on the stage.

   Ronald laughed, and lead singer Erin Carla, now she can continue to sing her famous songs on TV.

  The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games is said to be watched by hundreds of millions of people on TV. If you can get familiar with it here, it will be a treat for the gods.

   "Beatit, Beatit", the song is a turn, to the famous song in MJ's new album. The audience began to shout MJ's name enthusiastically. He did not appear to sing live at the opening ceremony, which was a pity for many people.

   "There is a puzzle under each spectator's seat. Please raise the puzzle to form the flags of the major participating countries."

   Ronald reached under his seat, took out a large yellow puzzle, and held it on his head. "Please hold ten seconds."

  Ronald looked left and right, and found that the jigsaw puzzle of his stand was raised to form the national flag of Xinhua. This was a really unexpected surprise, he didn't know that the organizing committee had made this move.

   "Three...two...one..." Thank you all.

   Ronald put down the puzzle.

   "John Williams, please." the live host shouted.

   "John, does he host a live band?" Spielberg took out a bottle of water and handed it to Ronald.

  John Williams, the composition of masterpieces such as Star Wars, ET Alien, Superman, etc., picked up the baton and began to direct the live band to play the Olympic theme song.

  The Mayor of Los Angeles took over the Olympic flag, and the athletes entered the field next.

   "Steven, can you talk about your opinion on the level of directing for live theatrical performances? Also, can I appear in your ET sequel."

   The girl who presented the flowers told the broadcast team what she found, and the broadcast team immediately sent a female reporter with a wireless microphone with a large antenna to interview Spielberg.

   "The director of this opening ceremony is redefining the word legendary." Spielberg pulled the antenna on the reporter's hat again, "Well, you have a good alien shape."

   "Hahaha, then what do you think of the live cabaret performance, how about John Williams' conductor?"

   "You're going to ask my friend Ronald Lee for his opinion. He's the director of the hit movie 'Break Dance'."

  The reporter hurriedly brought the wireless microphone over.

  "Unparalleled", Ronald flattered first, "The arrangement of the organizing committee is very good, showing all the major events since the founding of America. And our superstar, MJ's songs."

   "Do you think MJ should come to the opening ceremony?" The reporter continued following the question.

   "We're all looking forward to it, his songs are great, and it would be even better to see him perform the breakdance spacewalking that he is so good at."

   "Yeah!" Brooke finished the scene perfunctorily, and when the reporter finished the interview, she also climbed to the stand above to meet Ronald.

   "Come on, the athletes are in," Spielberg said to the entrance of the stadium, loosening his visor.

   "Greece is at the forefront!" The countries represented by the sports teams were broadcast in French and English.

   One by one sports teams came in.

   "Canada! They sent a huge delegation of over 300 people."

   "Huh?" The Canadian delegation was still advancing when Ronald suddenly heard a burst of familiar music.

   "Revolutionary soldiers must keep in mind,

   Three disciplines and eight points of attention. "

   Ronald couldn't help but sing.

   "Yeah? Can you speak Chinese?" Spielberg heard Ronald singing in Chinese.

   "Learn a little bit." Ronald stared at the entrance.

   was headed by a tall flag bearer who entered the arena with a five-star red flag. The athletes behind wore blue tops, white trousers, and skirts, and walked in neatly.

"yeah!"

When   Huaguo's sports team entered the arena, the spectators who passed by stood up and applauded. It's a tribute to their ability to stand up to the pressure of the Solvay Union and to compete in the spirit of camaraderie and the Olympic spirit.

   Ronald also leaned forward, applauding to the rhythm of revolutionary songs.

   "Mysterious country, if I have a chance, I must go there to make a movie." Spielberg was also very excited.

   "High jump, gymnastics, and women's volleyball. They have the potential to win medals." The live host was broadcasting.

   "Women's volleyball team, high jump, what else? Gymnastics?" Ronald wrote down secretly.

   The entrance ceremony took a long time, and Brooke was already leaning on Ronald's shoulder and couldn't keep her eyes open.

   Finally waited until the opening session.

  The President of the Olympic Committee, Samaranch, invited the current leader of the host country to announce the opening of the Olympic Games.

"God bless America." Samaranch finally paid tribute to the host country with these words. The previous two Olympic Games have caused huge losses. Fortunately, the chairman of the Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee Uberros is a capable The businessman, by selling sponsorships and broadcasting rights, is expected to make a profit at the Olympics, arguably saving the international Olympic movement.

   "I announce the opening of the twenty-third modern Olympic Games, in Los Angeles!"
