This hint comes from many years of experience of the International Olympic Committee. Chen Weiya believes that the opening ceremony is of course the first in the eyes of the audience all over the world, but the closing ceremony can also be unique, and it can also leave an unforgettable impression on athletes from all over the world and hundreds of millions of viewers.

Closing ceremony of Beijing 2008 Olympic Games-Behind the scenes work
The production team is selected from excellent creative schemes. It is reported that * * * has received 409 complete entries since the solicitation of creative schemes for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Beijing Olympic Games was launched at the beginning of last year. After careful review, BOCOG determined 13 excellent creative schemes for display, and then revised and improved five of them, and organized another exhibition. Wang Ning, director of the Cultural Activities Department of the Olympic Organizing Committee, said that the production of staff depends on the excellent programs selected. These people are elites in the industry and have the ability to direct large-scale cultural festivals. Wang Ning said that in the future, BOCOG will also hire famous artists and experts at home and abroad as needed.
The creative staff went to the Bird's Nest to see the site. The main staff of the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2008 Olympic Games who just received the letter of appointment from the Organizing Committee of the 29th Olympic Games came to the National Stadium under construction to inspect the opening ceremony venues. The founder's bus came to the east gate of the "Bird's Nest" site. Zhang Yimou, Spielberg and others got off the bus and entered the exhibition center under the leadership of Jiang Xiaoyu, executive vice president of BOCOG. When Zhang Yimou saw the glittering water cube model, he immediately became interested. He asked "Who is the designer of this venue?" "What is the membrane structure of the venue and what role it plays?" Then he communicated with Spielberg next to him. Subsequently, Zhang Yimou and his party entered the Olympic "Bird's Nest" site for the first time after being hired. Spielberg also praised the design of the National Stadium. He said that this was his first visit to the National Stadium and he was very shocked.
Closing ceremony of Beijing 2008 Olympic Games-heartfelt words
General director of the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games
Zhang Yimou: The letter of appointment is a written guarantee to fulfill the military order. I feel a heavy burden on my shoulders. By accepting the appointment here today, we made a written commitment to fulfill our military orders. I will finish my work as soon as possible and put all my energy into the preparations for the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2008 Olympic Games.
Zhang Jigang: Never repeat myself. I have been engaged in artistic creation for more than 30 years. My creative belief is never to repeat others or myself. Any work of art should be reasonable, but it must be unexpected.
Chen Weiya: China people are hard to "deal with". I know my advantages. I am good at making things with great momentum, big scenes and strong feelings, but the better I do, the more careful I am, because it is easy to repeat. How to innovate is the problem we are facing. It seems that the opening ceremony is not the most difficult for people all over the world to applaud. It is much more difficult for China people to "cope" because we watch too many large-scale activities.
Spielberg: I am very proud. I will try my best to make suggestions for the 2008 Olympic Games and strive to make it the "most emotional" opening and closing ceremonies in history.
The Closing Ceremony of Beijing 2008 Olympic Games-Happy Farewell
The keynote is joy and farewell. The works sung are all new works, with Joy and Farewell as the keynote. The closing ceremony is similar to the opening ceremony. "The closing ceremony is similar to the opening ceremony." Chen Weiya is very confident about the performance of the closing ceremony. Of course, the closing ceremony will not have a huge exhibition of 5,000 years of civilization like the opening ceremony. The emotional focus of the closing ceremony mainly shows the farewell mood of athletes and spectators from all over the world. The tone is cheerful and warm, with both the joy of gathering and the feeling of parting. Thousands of people revel together, so that everyone can keep happy, nervous and harmonious memories forever in 16 days. Chen Weiya has repeatedly studied the closing ceremonies of several Olympic Games. In his view, at the closing ceremony, the athletes and the audience were exhausted after being nervous, and it was impossible to pay attention to thinking and deep appreciation. At this time, we need surprise, happiness, splendor and brilliance, and a lot of fashion elements will appear. At the closing ceremony, the surprise they provided to the audience was a sense of satisfaction falling from the sky, and the world echoed and sang together. That huge sensational effect will continue to erupt in the hearts of the audience, producing a strong sound. One of the important contents of the closing ceremony performance is to express respect for the Olympic Movement and praise athletes and sports in all countries and regions of the world. Drum music and song and dance are well known, but like the opening ceremony, their forms of expression are brand-new and unique, which will completely surprise the audience. Although the overall concept of the closing ceremony is completely different from the opening ceremony, Chen Weiya said that the basic idea of planning is to echo each other with the opening ceremony, such as fireworks, which is as original as the opening ceremony. The difference is that the opening ceremony pays attention to creativity and the closing ceremony pays attention to grandeur. Fireworks will be raised in all places related to the Olympic Games in Beijing at the same time, and everyone will celebrate and sing together.
Beijing 2008 Olympic Games Closing Ceremony-Staggered.
"Ceremony" and "performance" are intertwined, and "flameout" is the core secret, which will definitely surprise the audience. Another difference between the closing ceremony and the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games is that the performance and ceremony of the opening ceremony are basically separated, while the performance and ceremony of the closing ceremony will be staggered. Between performances, the procedures for the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games, such as handover, athletes' admission, lowering the Olympic flag, raising the Greek flag and the British flag of the next host country, will appear one after another. In addition, artists from London, the next host city, will perform for 8 minutes. Although seemingly patchwork, all these will vividly reflect the theme of the closing ceremony under the unified concept, and each ceremony will become an organic part of the performance.
Extinguishing the torch will be the most influential and mysterious ceremony of the closing ceremony, as attractive as the ignition ceremony of the opening ceremony. The closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games in Athens and Sydney all showed unique creativity at the flameout ceremony. This time, Zhang Yimou and Chen Weiya also injected their extraordinary talents into the flameout ceremony. Chen Weiya said that it will definitely surprise and satisfy the audience. Different from the opening ceremony, there is no theme song in the closing ceremony, but there are famous Chinese and foreign singers performing, which is a bit like a party, but the singing method is different. The works sung are all new works, which are very nice. Some came from the song collection activities of the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee, and some were specially created for the closing ceremony.
The Closing Ceremony of Beijing 2008 Olympic Games-Carnival of Mankind
Domingo of Song Zu Ying sang the closing ceremony to create a carnival party for all mankind. Unlike the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, which keeps too much suspense, the closing ceremony will relax nervous athletes. Chen Weiya, executive director of the closing ceremony, said that the closing ceremony will closely follow the theme of good memories. Miao Peiru, the design director of the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games, said that the theme of the closing ceremony will be emotion and friendship, and a "great gathering of all mankind" will be created.
Chapter: Yunnan's "first course" stands out. The whole closing ceremony is expected to be divided into three chapters. In the first chapter, five of the nine directors are from Yunnan, and 104 Yunnan actors will participate in the closing ceremony. Therefore, the first course of the closing ceremony in Beijing "appetizer" will be carefully "cooked" by Yunnan people. Tao Chun, director of Yunnan Song and Dance Theatre and general director of the first chapter of the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games, said that Yunnan elements accounted for a large proportion in the closing ceremony, and props, songs and costumes would be integrated with Yunnan elements. For the content of this chapter, Tao Chun said that it was carefully selected from more than 100 alternatives, which was shocking and colorful, and there were also many high-tech wonderful pictures, which reflected the carnival of the world. It is reported that director Zhang Yimou recently went to the training ground to watch the first chapter of the program, and he was very satisfied. This chapter has passed the acceptance.

The music of the closing ceremony is still "very China". According to Bian Memorial, the chief music designer of the closing ceremony, the music of the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games is still "very China". The closing ceremony featured songs and dances, with the theme of reflecting the whole development process of China in the past 30 years of reform and opening up and showing the spiritual outlook of the people in China today. Music will present a variety of artistic forms. "We will integrate China's rich national elements, including national musical instruments and national music." Bian said that China's music and musical instruments are only a part of them, and the music combining Chinese and Western music will also be a major feature of the closing ceremony music. There are many innovations in music, and there will be many new music forms combined with high technology, which will bring great shock to the audience. Chen Qigang, music director of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, revealed that some songs that were reluctantly abandoned at the opening ceremony will appear at the closing ceremony.
singing and dancing
Jackie Chan led the chorus of 68 stars. Compared with the music part of the opening ceremony, there were only theme songs "You and Me" and "Singing the Motherland", and the singing lineup of the closing ceremony was luxurious. The theme song of the closing ceremony was sung by the famous singer Song Zu Ying and the world famous tenor Domingo. At that time, Yunnan actors will be distributed on the stage to accompany two top singers in the world. In the closing performance, there will be a deluxe version of the star chorus. The singing group consists of 68 people, including performing stars who are active in Chinese mainland, Hongkong, Macau and Taiwan Province. Jackie Chan will be the core figure of this 68-member choir. In addition, Jay Chou is likely to lead the chorus of four people, and the melody style will highlight the classical charm of China.
Turn off the engine.
The style is completely different from the opening ceremony. Zhang Yimou, the general director of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Beijing Olympic Games, said that the highlight of the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games will be the flameout. The flameout method is still top secret. "The style will be completely different from the opening ceremony."

It is said that Beckham is also quite excited to be the protagonist this time. He revealed that eight minutes will show the best culture in Britain. It is reported that Beckham will leave for China next week.

The closing ceremony of the Olympic Games is an ultra-luxurious 68 chorus carnival. The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games planned by Zhang Yimou was highly praised by the media all over the world. Whether the closing ceremony can continue the brilliance and brilliance of the opening ceremony has also become a major suspense of this Beijing Olympic Games. However, compared with the only theme songs "You and Me" and "Singing the Motherland" in the music part of the opening ceremony, the singing of the closing ceremony will be luxurious. It is reported that the famous singer Song Zu Ying and the world famous tenor PlacidoDominggo will jointly perform the theme song of the closing ceremony. At the same time, the closing ceremony will also attract all mainland stars, including the deluxe version of the star choir, and the 68-member singing group will include performing stars from the mainland, Hongkong, Macau and Taiwan Province Province.

The Closing Ceremony of Beijing 2008 Olympic Games-Brilliant Achievements
China athletes have made brilliant achievements in this year's Beijing Olympic Games. Up to now, the number of gold medals has exceeded 49, which is more competitive than the last Athens Olympic Games. In recognition of these athletes who won gold medals in China, a delegation of China Olympic gold medal athletes will arrive in Hongkong next Friday (August 29th) for a three-day friendly visit and performance. On the morning of the 30th, they will perform in the gymnasiums in various districts. In the evening, they will go to the gymnasium to participate in the "Olympic Gold Medal Elite Show". The program starts from 5: 30 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m., including the meeting between athletes and spectators. This major program will continue to be produced by radio stations. According to Zeng Xingming, deputy director of the Foreign Affairs Department of the radio station, the main purpose of this performance is to praise the brilliant achievements of gold medal athletes. As for the singer who will take part in the performance, it has not been decided yet. However, due to the good response, last year's chorus of Liu Xiang and Ku Kuiji will be retained this year. However, it has not been confirmed which athletes will sing with which singers. At present, TVB should concentrate on running the Olympic Games well. After the list of athletes coming to Hong Kong is confirmed, singers will be arranged to accompany them, depending on their specialties and idols. In addition, the right to broadcast the big show last year caused a lot of right and wrong. In order to avoid repeating the same mistakes, wireless decided to distribute all signals to major electronic media this year and allow them to broadcast.
Closing ceremony of Beijing 2008 Olympic Games-London 8 minutes
The closing ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games gave London eight minutes to perform hot HipHop. London, the host city of the next 20 12 Olympic Games, announced that its national dance group ZooNation will perform HipHop at the closing ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games in August this year. However, this decision has attracted criticism from many current affairs commentators. The International Olympic Committee stipulates that at the closing ceremony of each Olympic Games, the representatives of the next host country will perform for 8 minutes. At the closing ceremony of the Athens Olympic Games four years ago, China director Zhang Yimou presented a controversial song and dance music "Jasmine" composed of ultra-short cheongsam, dazzling red lanterns and crowds. According to Hong Kong's Wen Wei Po, at the closing ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games, the London Olympic Organizing Committee recently decided to show its country's diversity and vitality by break dancing, but many commentators think that break dancing can only remind people of American characteristics and has nothing to do with Britain. However, BOCOG insisted that only break dancing was performed at the closing ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games to represent the country.
The closing ceremony of Eight Minutes in London cost more than 20 million Beckham to attend. Beckham kicked out of London and invited him. According to the past practice, there is a "fixed program" for the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games, which is to set aside eight minutes to show the host country of the next Olympic Games its urban customs. At the closing ceremony of the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, Zhang Yimou's Eight Minutes in China showed the world the charm of the Chinese nation's 5,000-year history and culture with a song and dance performance with China characteristics. What surprises will London, the "Olympic Capital" in 20 12 years, bring to the world? It is understood that the London Olympic Organizing Committee has decided to send David Beckham, a world-famous football player, to play the leading role in the "London 8 Minutes" performance at the closing ceremony. The 8-minute performance in London will be performed by the famous British heavy metal band Led Zeppelin and the most popular talent show champion and famous singer Leona? Lewis's cooperation kicked off, and Beckham entered the "Bird's Nest" on London's iconic double-decker bus, pushing the performance to a climax. Finally, Beckham will kick a football representing "invitation from London" to the audience in the stands.
Disabled artists will appear for the first time. Hundreds of dancers from the Royal British Ballet, ZooNation Street Dance Company and Cando-Co Dance Company will perform ballet and break dancing, which symbolize the elegance and vitality of London. Because Cando-Co is a dance troupe composed of disabled people and healthy people, it will be the first time that disabled artists will appear in the "performance of the bidding city for the next Olympic Games". In addition, for this wonderful eight minutes, the cost of the London Olympic Organizing Committee will reach more than 25.6 million yuan, equivalent to more than 3.2 million yuan per minute, but the effect of this money will definitely satisfy the British people, because "they are all the best performers in Britain, and it is worthwhile to spend 20 12".
