When is the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games?

In 2008, Zhang Yimou directed the opening and closing ceremonies of the Beijing Olympic Games. When talking about the two opening ceremonies, Zhang Yimou said that the two opening ceremonies are totally different, and it is impossible to compete simply for artistic performances. Art performance itself is not good or bad. Each artistic expression has its own characteristics, and more importantly, it depends on creativity and ideas.

"I think the opening ceremony in 2022 is warmer, calmer and simpler, and it also better explains the Olympic concept that the whole world participates in, especially in the main torch platform and torch lighting, which I am most proud of." Zhang Yimou said.

Zhang Yimou introduced that the preparations for the closing ceremony have been fully launched. At the closing ceremony, time and space will be connected in series with the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, presenting a "double Olympics" moment. Zhang Yimou said that the venue was changed immediately after the opening ceremony, and preparations for the closing ceremony on February 20 were under way in all aspects.

"What is better this time is that the Bird's Nest did not host the competition, which is different from 2008. This time it is only responsible for four ceremonies. " Zhang Yimou said that this would allow him to concentrate on the opening and closing ceremonies of the Beijing Winter Olympics and the Beijing Winter Paralympics.

"The closing ceremony has already started on the 6th. I hope that after the opening ceremony, I can present you with a happy closing ceremony." Zhang Yimou said that the athletes are the masters and the closing ceremony is more about serving the athletes. I hope the athletes can finally have a happy and complete mood and say goodbye to everyone.

In addition, Zhang Yimou revealed that there will be a "Double Olympics" moment at the closing ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics. "The Bird's Nest is the only venue for the' Double Olympics' (opening and closing ceremonies). We hope that there will be a moment at the closing ceremony to show the characteristics of "Double Olympics" and the feeling of crossing history and opening the moment. I hope this moment will be a bright spot.
