Chapter 400 (1/2)
The artistic performance at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games can be said to be the celebration party with the largest number of actors and the largest scale in the bidding country, and it is also the most difficult for the director. The opening ceremony of the Athens Olympic Games can be called a classic and contains very rich content.
Greece is the birthplace of the Olympic Games and the host of the first modern Olympic Games. The performance of Greece's ancient and modern civilization has naturally become the theme of literary and artistic performances.
A beam of comet like light passes through the stadium and shoots into the water from the sky. It ignites the fire ring composed of the five Olympic rings in the water. The diameter of the fire ring is 17.5 meters. It burns in the center of the water, implying the coming of the Olympics.
Many of the later performances are related to Greek mythology. For example, Eros, the God of love, appeared in the air. She made people love each other. This actor has been hanging in Weiya for the longest time.
The performance also introduced some Legendary Warriors, Greek gods. Although they were all killed by a fierce man named Kratos, as mythical characters, they still sound very tall.
Finally, all the actors gathered in the center of the venue. Rocks rose from the bottom of the artificial lake. The rocks merged into a hill, and an olive tree broke through the soil from the top of the mountain. The olive tree symbolizes peace and freedom and is the most typical representative image of Greece. Olive trees took off and faded out. In the starry sky of Athens summer night, the artificial lake in the center of the stadium quickly pumped back, and the artistic performance came to an end.
Then came the exciting athletes' entrance ceremony. Amid the cheers and applause of the audience, 202 delegations from countries and regions entered in Greek alphabetical order.
In the Greek alphabet, China starts with ”K” and ranks 78th. Yao Ming, 226cm tall, held high the five-star red flag and guided the sports delegation into the stadium with great momentum.
Liang Kun was not so conspicuous in the middle of the team and played soy sauce in the crowd until the end of the opening ceremony.
On August 29, the Olympic flame of Athens will be extinguished here after 16 days. The Olympic flag will be handed over to the next Olympic host city - Yanjing at the closing ceremony!
Liang Kun had a holiday after the opening ceremony. He had nothing to do a few days ago and was free to arrange his time. The preliminary round of the 91kg boxing match will not start until the 18th.
On the 14th, Constantine and Wei Kun proposed to watch the American Dream Team 6 vs Puerto Rico basketball game. Unfortunately, their idea came a little late and the tickets were sold out long ago.
Wei Kun said reluctantly, ”is there a mistake? It was said that all the tickets of the dream six team were sold out three months ago. Who could buy them abroad at that time?”
Constantine smiled: ”Greeks want to see the dream team abuse their opponents. This year's basketball game has more stars than the American team. Unfortunately, it's not the strongest team. I prefer Carter. He jumped from the center in the last Olympic Games. He was so handsome.”
The 218cm tall French center named Frederick Weiss was selected by the New York Knicks in the 15th place in the first round of 1999, but he has never played in the NBA. Carter's ”death buckle” makes Wes a famous human flesh background board. He will be said by fans for more than ten years.
The French don't hate Carter. On the contrary, they like him very much. That dunk is really magical and difficult to copy.
Liang Kun is not interested in NBA stars. He knows that people who want to see star performances in this year's Olympic Games will be disappointed. Mengliu team lost 19 points in the first game. In the parallel world, this game is very famous. The audience who originally came to see the performance of ”dream team 6” turned against each other on the spot.
Hundreds of countries reported the game, and Americans regarded it as a ”nightmare subversive war” and ”historic defeat”. Because this is the first time that the dream team lost in the Olympic Games, and Arroyo of Puerto Rico is known as the ”magic boy” because he blew up the guard ”superstar” Iverson.
In fact, the Greeks don't need to worship the dream team. At the 2006 World Championships, they met the American dream team 7 in the semi-finals and turned the American team upside down.
Unable to watch basketball, Xu Zhenzhen suggested going to the badminton men's singles game. Because the Chinese men's singles is likely to win the Olympic gold medal, with the top seed player ”super Dan”.
”What's good about badminton? And it's just a preliminary match. I think it's better to go to the beach. At least it's cool by the sea.” Liang Kun objected. He doesn't want his friends to be in a bad mood. This badminton game is also very famous.
”Super Dan” exposed a big surprise in the first game, and was beaten as Zeng Xianer by unknown Singapore player Susilo.
Searching for memory, Liang Kun found that there were enough surprises in the Olympic Games.
Constantine agreed. ”I think it's good to go to the beach. It should be more lively.”
Xu Zhenzhen hummed, ”do you think the people there wear cool clothes? Show their figure by the way.”
Liang Shuang said with a smile: ”it's really too hot. Go to the beach. I don't like badminton games either.”
The four wanted to go to the beach. Of course, Xu Zhenzhen had no problem.
They drove a rented car to astir beach at the entrance of Lemos Peninsula, vouliagmenis District, southern suburb of Athens. This is a place that will be highly recommended in any Athens beach guide. It seems that there is only one reason - the most expensive, the adult ticket price is 20 euros.
This price is equivalent to the ticket price of the world-famous acropolis of Athens. There's a reason why it's expensive. The sun can shine on the seabed here. Astirbeach beach is like a mirror with sparkling light everywhere.
But after a while, Liang Kun felt a little bored. The four people played in pairs, which was very romantic. What was he doing on the beach alone?
He thought and took out a lucky gum.
