Chapter 5303: Boasting
The Song Dynasty was not only economically developed, but also extremely developed in scientific research. Zhang Heng's seismometer, movable type printing, and gunpowder, these four great inventions of China (papermaking in the Han Dynasty), were all performed in a short period of time, through tension but not panic, busy and orderly.
The world not only recognized the wealth of the Song Dynasty, but also recognized the advanced technology of the Song Dynasty. At that time, China was indeed the only bright spot on the earth. The whole world was in the Dark Ages at that time, and only the Song Dynasty was at its most brilliant peak.
Later, the Yuan Dynasty invaded and immediately laid down the largest empire in history. Of course, Zhang Yimou did not emphasize this description too much, but just used the flow of people to lay out the world map of Mongolia at that time.
The subsequent Ming Dynasty was another brilliant era after the Chinese nation. Zheng He's seven voyages to the West, and the battle with the Netherlands in Taiwan, which made the Netherlands piss and pee, all made the world marvel that the ancient Chinese navy was so powerful. I am afraid that at that time, it was the world's first fleet that was well deserved.
Moreover, the Ming Dynasty had a musket team, which was definitely beyond the world's technology at that time, especially the cannon. Seeing this scene, Western countries sighed that fortunately the Ming Dynasty was strong enough at that time, otherwise if the Ming Dynasty continued to develop, perhaps the world's first capitalist country would be born in the Ming Dynasty, and at that time, I am afraid that the world pattern would be completely changed.
In fact, even if the Ming Dynasty was strong, as long as the Ming Dynasty did not destroy the Great Wall and no longer let Zheng He sail to the West. Continue to expand the navy, when the navy discovered the countless wealth of other continents, I am afraid that all the forces of the Ming Dynasty would compromise in the face of interests. At that time, the navy of the Ming Dynasty. Will classify the four oceans as inland rivers. You must know that the Ming Dynasty navy was equipped with the world's most outstanding naval necessity at that time-the compass. Without a compass, how can you sail on the sea? You may be trapped in the sea.
At the venue, Zhang Yimou even directly moved a treasure ship that Zheng He sailed to the West into the venue. Seeing that it was 148 meters long and 60 meters wide. A huge treasure ship with nine masts and twelve sails appeared in front of everyone, which made people sigh at the advanced shipbuilding technology of China at that time. You know, at that time, Emperor Chengzu Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty issued an order that "no sails should enter the sea"! In this case, the treasure ship of the Ming Dynasty was so majestic and magnificent that it was shocking.
Especially. The draft of this treasure ship is 6 meters! What is the concept of 6 meters? The 'Eastern Star' luxury cruise ship that capsized not long ago had a draft of only three meters. And what is the draft of an aircraft carrier? More than 10 meters. In other words, today's deep-sea overlord aircraft carrier has only 4 meters more draft than the wooden ship hundreds of years ago. This is a great achievement!
Then, it was the Qing Dynasty. For the Qing Dynasty. Zhang Yimou did not describe too much, and briefly introduced the 'Kangqian Prosperous Era', followed by the decline of the Qing Dynasty, the Humen Gunpowder Smoke, the Opium War, and the final demise of the Qing Dynasty. Then, it was the rise of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. After that,
New China was founded. And those special actors. At this moment, they all came out. *, Premier Zhou, etc., these special actors all appeared in the venue one by one.
The appearance of these people aroused applause from the audience. Regardless of their merits and demerits, without them, there would be no New China. Then, it focused on describing China's reform and opening up and the achievements China has made in recent years.
China is no longer the backward, poor, and humiliated China in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. It is a prosperous, democratic, and vibrant new China. And in this new China, a figure appeared, a leader of the new China, a representative figure, that is naturally-Lin Feng.
In the venue, a man-made skyscraper rose from the ground. All the actors were building a skyscraper built of giant building blocks at the fastest speed. The skyscraper continued to rise at an extremely fast speed, one floor, two floors, three floors... ten floors, eleven floors... and finally twenty-nine floors, which echoed the 29th Olympic Games. Of course, these 29 floors not only represent the 29th Olympic Games, but also celebrate Lin Feng's 29th birthday next year in advance!
Lin Feng appeared at this moment, climbing up the 29th floor step by step. At this moment, Lin Feng was at the same height as the audience. This also represents the speed of China!
At this moment, the whole audience suddenly became quiet! All the spotlights were on Lin Feng. Zhang Yimou took a deep breath, and this was also the most tense moment. Because, his performance was completely to highlight Lin Feng and his personal heroism, so he gave Lin Feng such an important close-up, raising him to the highest point of the audience, making him the focus of everyone's attention. This requires great courage. For him, this is contrary to tradition, but Zhang Yimou also deeply understands how to please the market.
What is the market? Lin Feng is the market! The Olympics not only sees the struggle of athletes, but also the stars. It is a grand event for athletes and a party for the public. And the protagonists of this party are athletes, but they need an emcee! An emcee who can lead the whole audience, Lin Feng is the emcee who Zhang Yimou identified as the one who can ignite the whole audience!
At this moment, the whole audience was waiting for Lin Feng to speak. Naturally, Lin Feng would definitely speak. As for what to say, Zhang Yimou had no arrangement. He didn't need to arrange it. He felt that letting Lin Feng play freely would definitely have a better effect! Of course, this would inevitably involve certain risks, because Zhang Yimou didn't know what Lin Feng would say! His personality was absolutely outspoken. Once he said something wrong, Lin Feng might be fine, but he would be in trouble.
Therefore, Zhang Yimou was also praying silently that Lin Feng would not mess around. Just encouragement, such as shouting - the Chinese people have stood up, would be enough to mobilize the atmosphere of the whole audience!
At this time, Lin Feng spoke.
"China -" Lin Feng shouted the word "China" loudly, and everyone's emotions were instantly ignited, but Lin Feng's words were not finished, and everyone's emotions were still brewing, waiting for the moment when the volcano erupted.
Lin Feng pointed his finger at the audience, slowly circled around, and shouted loudly, "In this Olympics, China will definitely win the first gold medal and the first medal! Long live the Chinese people!" Lin Feng raised his thumb and put it on his chest!
Boom! The atmosphere of the whole venue was immediately ignited, and the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time, at this moment all the audience raised their arms and cheered, "Gold medal first! Medal first!"
"Gold medal first! Medal first!"
"Gold medal first! Medal first!"
The audience cheered! You know, in the Olympic medal list, the first place has always been the United States, and the second place is Russia. This has been the case for several sessions. Although China is third, to be honest, the gap with the United States and Russia is very long. This time, although it is held at home, it does not mean that China can break through the blockade of Russia and the United States. After all, the two countries are too strong in the track and field arena.
But at this moment, Lin Feng shouted out their voices, and they were very hopeful. They longed for the Chinese to surpass Russia and even the United States in the Olympic arena! Fighting at home this time, the Chinese Olympic team must win!
The emotions of the audience were mobilized, but this slogan made the two gentlemen laugh and cry. This slogan is naturally correct. But you shouted such a slogan so blatantly, isn't it a demonstration to athletes from all countries! In addition to being the target of public criticism on the field, it may also make heads of state think that you are too arrogant. And this will give those who have been advocating the Chinese conspiracy theory a handle. Although this is just a sports arena, you, Lin Feng, are so domineering, and you want to get the first place in both gold medals and medals. Doesn't this represent your Chinese ambition!
However, since these words have been spoken, the two gentlemen can't say much. They can only let Lin Feng be willful. After all, the people of the whole country are happy, right!
As for the various heads of state on the rostrum on the side, they are accustomed to Lin Feng's words. Isn't Lin Feng always so high-profile? They are used to it. What's more, if China wants to become the first in both gold medals and medals, it will impact Russia and the United States, and it can be said that it has nothing to do with other countries. They are happy to watch the excitement.
The only one who is depressed and even a little horrified is Zhang Yimou. He doesn't know how those high-ranking gentlemen think when Lin Feng shouts out the first place in both gold medals and medals. Would they think that Lin Feng was too immodest and un-Chinese? Chinese people have been known for their modesty and low-key qualities since ancient times. Now Lin Feng is too un-Chinese. He was afraid that his superiors would have no way to deal with Lin Feng and would vent their anger on him. That would be bad for him.
But now that things have come to this, he has no choice. Lin Feng has already shouted out his words, and the audience is extremely excited. What else can he do!
He can only continue with the next show! But to be honest, the following shows are not as exciting as "Five Thousand Years of History". It was not until Liu Huan and Sarah Brightman sang "You and Me" that they attracted a little attention from the audience. After that, it was the athletes' entrance ceremony!
This is also the longest part of the Olympic opening ceremony. Starting from Greece, to the final entrance of the host China, it lasted more than two hours. For the audience, it was a long wait. After all, when athletes enter the venue, except for the athletes from their own country, the audience will be excited. Athletes from other countries, except for star athletes, rarely make the audience excited.
What the audience is waiting for is the final ignition ceremony! (To be continued)
