Chapter 972 Calm down the grievances of the people
Lausanne is the fifth largest city in Switzerland and is the headquarters of many famous international organizations such as the International Olympic Committee, so it is also known as the "Olympic Capital".
Due to its geographical location at the intersection of several major European cultures, Switzerland has been greatly influenced by other countries in terms of language and culture. The most important manifestation is in language.
Switzerland has four official languages, German, French, Italian and Romansh.
Lausanne is the second most lingua franca city in Switzerland. Because of its title as the Olympic Capital, there are many tourists here. Besides French, English is the second most spoken language in transportation.
After Li Qing and others landed at Lausanne Airport, they were greeted by Olympic bid team staff who arrived a few days in advance. Soon, they took a car to the hotel where they were staying.
Strangely, the car seemed to have deliberately bypassed the front door of the hotel and entered the underground parking lot directly.
Several people took the elevator in the underground parking lot directly and came to the hotel.
Although Li Qing was surprised, he didn't ask any more questions. After a little repair, staff came to tell Li Qing, Ye Zhun and others to go to the conference hall for a meeting.
"What do I, the Olympic bid ambassador, need to do?"
Li Qing asked on the way to the conference hall.
As Ye Zhun walked away, he replied: "The four Olympic bid ambassadors will hold a four-day publicity event in Lausanne, mainly to promote the image of China. Secondly, in four days, the Olympic bid organization will select an Olympic bid ambassador to attend the International Olympic Committee
In the Olympic bid hall, the Olympic bid speech will be launched to the whole world. At that time, in addition to China, the speakers will also be the Olympic bid ambassadors from other countries such as France, the United Kingdom, and Japan."
"What about four days later?" Li Qing asked again.
Ye Zhun smiled and said: "Four days later, the International Olympic Committee will announce the list of candidate countries for the 2008 Olympic Games. Next, it will not be our business. Oh no, there is one more thing. After returning to China, you four Olympic bid ambassadors will also
We need to shoot a promotional video for the Olympic bid...Finally, well, everyone knows that your songwriting talent is unparalleled, so the Olympic bid team very much hopes that you can write an Olympic bid song."
Li Qing nodded, pondered for a moment, and then asked: "How to promote China's image? It won't be us shouting everywhere on Lausanne Street, right?"
"Of course not!"
Ye Zhun said speechlessly: "There is a special Olympic bid exhibition here, and we also have a special Olympic bid platform."
"Do other countries also have Olympic bidders?" Li Qing asked.
Ye Zhun nodded: "Of course there is. To put it simply, it is to let the Olympic bid ambassadors do their best at the Olympic bid exhibition, so that reporters from all over the world, including the international Olympic team, can see the characteristics of our country. The Olympic bid team has also prepared for the Olympic bid exhibition.
Hundreds of photographic works introduce the scenery of Beijing to the audience."
While everyone was talking, they came to the hotel conference hall.
As soon as he walked in, Li Qing saw a few familiar faces, especially Kung Fu superstar Cheng Long, who was quite famous even in Hollywood. When he saw him, Li Qing was a little excited.
"Li Qing is here!"
"Sit down, sit down!"
"Oh, the young man looks so handsome, even more handsome than the photo!"
"Among our group, apart from Xia Xue, Li Qing is the youngest, right? Haha!"
In the conference hall, more than a dozen people stood up to greet him while laughing and discussing.
Li Qing quickly shook hands with several seniors. After getting acquainted with each other, Li Qing became somewhat familiar with the people in front of him.
In addition to the three Olympic bid ambassadors Cheng Long, Xia Xue and Lu Yang and their assistants, there were also the leader and deputy leader of the Olympic bid team, as well as the Secretary-General of the Chinese Embassy in the Swiss Confederation, etc.
After a while, everyone sat down one by one. Shen Wuzhi, the leader of the Olympic bid team, said with a smile: "Comrades, welcome to Lausanne. Our four Olympic bid ambassadors have finally gathered together. Now, let Comrade Xin Die tell you about the Olympic bid. The schedule and tasks of the masters these days."
Xin Die is the deputy leader of the Olympic bid team. Unlike the short and stocky team leader Shen Wuzhi, who is already around 50 years old, Xin Die is not only only 26 years old, but his appearance is not inferior to that of ordinary idol stars. , her short hair shawl looked clean and experienced. As soon as she opened her voice, she instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.
"The basic layout of the Olympic bid exhibition has been completed. In the next three days, we will cycle through the Beijing city image promotional video and the Olympic bid promotional video at the Olympic bid exhibition. The purpose is to attract reporters from various countries, the public and tourists to stop and watch... "
Xin Die's narration was almost the same as Ye Zhun's previous narration. After listening to it, Li Qing was the first to raise his hand and speak: "Um...I heard there is another speech?"
"Yes, the speech will be held in the Olympic Bid Hall."
Xin Die glanced at Li Qing and said with a smile: "I know what you think, Mr. Li. Don't worry, this speech has a script. In addition, Mr. Cheng Long will be the speaker of this speech. "
Cheng Long said with a smile: "Brother, if you are willing, how about I give you my place in the speech?"
When Li Qing heard this, his face turned red and he waved his hands quickly: "No, I stutter."
Everyone laughed.
Shen Wuzhi smiled and said: "Li Qing, coming to Lausanne this time is a good time to win glory for the country in front of the whole world. You can't back down! I heard that you are a pianist who has been invited by the five major concert halls. , so at the Olympic Bid Exhibition, I have asked someone to place a piano..."
Li Qing said dumbfounded: "Team Leader Shen, aren't you embarrassing me?"
Shen Wuzhi said in surprise: "Your piano prowess is universally recognized! In the past two days, many famous local pianists in Switzerland heard that you would come to Lausanne and came to me to inquire about your whereabouts. You are not playing at the Olympic Bid Exhibition." Let’s sing a song to appease the public’s complaints. Our Olympic bid team will definitely not be able to proceed.”
Li Qing said in surprise: "How...how could this happen?"
"Qingzi, don't you know how high your reputation is in the international music scene?"
Ye Zhun looked at Li Qing speechlessly: "Your "World War II Rhapsody" was performed by Hoyle, the chief pianist of the Golden Hall, on the banks of the Danube River. It was later spread by the American "National Geographic" magazine and became world-famous. Ah! Later, the song "Mark of the Rain" that you played at the United Nations Building was also sought after by many musicians. Now, you are known as the most outstanding pianist at the end of the century. If a big star like you didn't play here, If you play a song, our Olympic bid exhibition may not be held."
"yes!"
Athlete Lu Yang said with emotion: "When I came to the hotel today, I was surrounded by a large group of media and music lovers. Speaking of which, when we look at Westerners, we look almost exactly the same. Westerners look at us, but the same is true for them. It seems that they mistook me for you, Li Qing. When they saw me, an Oriental, everyone crowded and clamored to take a photo with me..."——
