What are the highlights of the opening ceremony of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics?

Compared with the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, the opening ceremony of the just-concluded 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics has been shortened, the number of actors has also been greatly reduced, the narrative angle has changed from "I" to "we", and many highlights have attracted our attention.

The torch in 2008 is very classic. This time, we must go beyond it with a brand-new concept and integrate the torch with the performance. This is a difficult process. Because the director has the ultimate aesthetic pursuit, he often thinks of some imaginative ideas, and every program will be constantly revised to pursue the ultimate effect. It is common for the visual effect polished for several months to be overthrown and re-established. When we see people with different identities and backgrounds passing the national flag until it is handed over to the People's Liberation Army, the bright five-star red flag not only represents this Winter Olympics in Beijing, but also represents the world outlook of China people and China people.

Zhang Dao followed the international practice and used video clips to express the countdown. From the London Olympics to the Sochi Winter Olympics to the Tokyo Olympics, it is a video countdown. The idea of this countdown is 24 solar terms. From the beginning of the rain to the end of beginning of spring, every frame is a blockbuster movie. Starting from the unique 24 solar terms in China, the lighting and colors are atmospheric, harmonious, natural and festive. The Winter Olympics with China characteristics has already begun. In front of the ice, ice hockey players broke the ice barrier, the Olympic rings broke through the ice, the Ran Ran rose, the water curtain rose in the center of the main stage, and gradually condensed into ice, in which the Winter Olympics took turns.

In the entrance ceremony, the only highlights are China and the host. The light is soft and bright, bright red and refreshing. The melody of "Singing the Motherland" shines with beautiful light. The content is complete and beautiful. Simply put, it is two words, perfect. The overall feeling of the opening ceremony is that the opening ceremony is complete, without any unnecessary content, and it is pure beauty. This represents our high cultural confidence in China, and we will move towards the future together.
