Chapter 60 Olympic Games
In the evening.
Gu Qingshan and Jing Tian were strolling around Wangfujing.
Tomorrow is the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, and sports delegations from all countries have arrived in Beijing. In addition, foreign tourists visiting Beijing have made foreigners a common sight in the city.
The song "Welcome to Beijing" is playing everywhere!
Wangfujing is also a popular shopping destination for foreign tourists.
Besides filming GG and performing at commercial events, Jing Tian has also participated in promotional activities for the Beijing Olympics, contributing to the Games.
Now, behind JingTian is a whole team, a professional team, maintaining JingTian's image.
During the post-production of "Lost in Thailand", even when Jing Tian was in Beijing, the two of them would only be together very late at night.
It wasn't until yesterday that Gu Qingshan had time to have hot pot with Jing Tian, and today he even accompanied Jing Tian out shopping.
The two held hands, just like an ordinary couple.
After shopping for two hours and buying a bunch of things that filled the trunk of his car, Jing Tian was finally satisfied.
Women are magical creatures; they always seem to lack clothes, shoes, and bags...
In reality, Jing Tian only wears many of his clothes once.
After shopping, the two went to a courtyard house, which was a private restaurant and considered quite upscale.
The two chatted about the opening ceremony of the Olympics the following night while eating.
Throughout Beijing, or rather, throughout China, everyone wanted to be there in person to experience the opening of the Olympic Games in their motherland.
Unfortunately, the Bird's Nest only has 9.1 seats for the audience, and only 6 of those seats were sold to the public, with a significant proportion of those sold to foreigners.
The opening ceremony tickets are divided into 5 tiers, with the most expensive tier A costing 5000 yuan and the cheapest tier E costing 200 yuan.
On the black market, even the cheapest E-level ticket costs seven or eight thousand, while an A-level ticket costs over 20.
Even so, many people still want to buy it but can't.
Even worse, there's a group of unscrupulous scalpers selling fake tickets.
Gu Qingshan and Jing Tian naturally managed to get A-level tickets and will be at the Bird's Nest tomorrow night to watch the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.
"How many gold medals do you think our country can win this time?" Jing Tian asked expectantly as they discussed the Olympics.
Gu Qingshan thought for a moment, "It should be a huge leap forward compared to the Athens Olympics. After all, the Olympics are being held at home, and the athletes will definitely give it their all."
Gu Qingshan actually had a very deep impression of this Olympic Games, but he couldn't say it.
"That's for sure. If it were me, I would definitely perform beyond my usual level." Jing Tian nodded and said, "It would be even better if we could surpass the United States in gold medals."
"Unfortunately, the United States is too powerful; it's simply impossible."
Gu Qingshan chuckled inwardly, knowing that China had indeed won more gold medals than the United States at this Olympics.
This is absolutely a miracle.
Gu Qingshan said, "Who knows? Maybe our Olympic athletes will create a miracle!"
"That's true. The United States won 35 gold medals at the Athens Olympics, while we won 32. We were only 3 gold medals behind. If someone had a breakout performance, we might actually surpass the United States," Jing Tian said after thinking for a moment.
......
The next night.
Holding their tickets, Gu Qingshan and Jing Tian passed through the ticket gate and arrived at their seats.
Grade A tickets do indeed provide excellent seating.
Tickets were checked quickly, and more and more people entered the Bird's Nest and took their seats.
Amidst everyone's anticipation, excitement, tension, and anxiety, the opening ceremony countdown began at 7:50 AM.
Television broadcasts also moved from backstage and the studio to the Bird's Nest stadium, where countless spectators in the stands around the stadium waved happily and excitedly at the cameras.
The enthusiastic and vibrant atmosphere throughout the Bird's Nest was something unimaginable to those watching on television.
At 7:59, the lights in the venue dimmed, and a dazzling halo of sparks suddenly appeared in the sky, illuminating the ancient corona.
Gu Qingshan had watched the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics countless times, but when he experienced it in person, he was still incredibly moved.
看过2008年京城奥运会开幕式，再与2012年伦敦奥运会、2016年里约奥运会、2021年东京奥运会、2024年巴黎奥运会的开幕式相对比，才能知道2008年京城奥运会开幕式真的是前无古人后无来者。
If we want to create new miracles, we'll probably have to wait until China hosts the Summer Olympics again sometime.
The opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics was not perfect and still had some shortcomings, but its merits outweighed its flaws, and it was the best that China could do at that time.
顾青山和景田忍不住齐声跟着倒数，10、9、8.....3、2、1。
At that moment, countless people couldn't help but burst into tears.
China's century-long dream of the Olympics has finally come true!
Experiencing the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics in person, Gu Qingshan felt as if his heartbeat was in sync with that of countless people in his country, and his soul trembled just like that of countless Chinese people.
He admires Zhang Yimou even more, and also admires the countless people who have made silent contributions!
Behind this unparalleled Olympic Games opening ceremony lies a nation that is constantly growing stronger. This is a national Olympics, and it is also a reflection of a country's comprehensive national strength.
This year, China has suffered many disasters!
But no matter how great the difficulties, they can't defeat the Chinese people!
A united Chinese people is invincible!
After a wonderful cultural performance, the athletes entered the stadium.
The Greek team was the first to appear, which is an Olympic tradition, as the Olympics originated in Greece, and Greece is almost always the first to appear in every Olympic Games.
Each Olympic delegation takes the stage, and at this moment, each delegation represents a country.
Grand international sporting events like the Olympics are not just sporting competitions, but also a contest of strength among nations in peacetime, and a demonstration of their power.
There are sports stars who are extremely famous in China, such as NBA basketball superstar Kobe Bryant and Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt...
Of course, the most well-known was Yao Ming from the Chinese delegation, who entered the stadium holding the hand of a little boy.
Pain and glory filled the hearts of all Chinese people at this moment, and applause resounded throughout the venue.
"Go China!" The shouts echoed throughout the Bird's Nest stadium and across the entire land of China.
Everyone knows what this scene represents!
Gu Qingshan's eyes welled up with tears; anyone who experienced this year would never forget it.
Gu Qingshan's two lifetimes are even more unforgettable.
Jing Tian, standing next to Gu Qingshan, was overjoyed, cheering, clapping, and singing the national anthem along with everyone.
At this moment, she was not a celebrity, but an ordinary Chinese person.
Gu Qingshan was just an ordinary Chinese man.
They were all incredibly excited, thrilled, and proud at that moment; they could feel a sense of national pride.
As fireworks filled the sky, the opening ceremony came to an end. The four-hour ceremony did not make anyone feel impatient, but only awe and pride. Even after it ended, as people were leaving, they were still discussing the opening ceremony enthusiastically.
Everyone is praising Zhang Yimou.
Zhang Yimou has also been officially promoted to the position of Imperial Advisor.
