The 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games in the United States was of great significance to the entire China.
This is the first Olympic Games that China has participated in since the founding of the People's Republic of China. It has been 52 years since China last participated in the Olympic Games.
It is no exaggeration to say that this Olympic Games has attracted the attention of the whole people.
CCTV also broadcast the Olympic Games live.
What do you need to watch sports games?
Three or five friends, wine and food, nothing could be better.
The Los Angeles Olympic Games will be held on July 28, local time, at 14:15 pm. Due to the time difference between Yanjing and Los Angeles, it is already around 17:30 on July 29 in Yanjing.
Wu Jianye, Zhang Huijun, Mu Deyuan, Ge You, Xie Wan, Jiang Xiu and others were sitting around in Wu Jianye's small courtyard. It was still bright at this time, but a few people had already set up small tables.
There are peanuts, roasted chicken, various snacks on the table, and several cases of beer on the floor.
The opening ceremony hasn't started yet, and everyone is chatting casually.
I heard that you were assigned to the China Youth Art Theater? Wu Jianye asked Jiang Xi.
This year Jiang Xiu has graduated from the Chinese Theater Academy.
Jiang Xiu peeled off a peanut, threw it into her mouth, and said with a smile: Yes, everyone has already reported for duty!
Xie Wan asked curiously: What are you planning now?
The Huaxia Youth Art Theater is similar to the People's Art Theater. It is a place where only the top students who graduated from the Chinese Opera can go. Jiang Xiu was able to be assigned wherever he graduated. It was obvious that his professionalism was also appreciated by the Chinese Opera teachers.
Family affair!
Jiang Xiu looked at the TV screen and said casually.
Wu Jianye smiled and said: Are you interested in studying with Yuzi and working part-time here?
Jiang Xiu knew about Wu Jianye's opening of Tangting Culture.
OK, I can earn more anyway! Jiang Xiu said nonchalantly.
Then find a time in the next two days to come to my place to sign the contract! Wu Jianye said proudly.
Jiang Xi and Ge You are two of the biggest performers in China. With their participation, it will be difficult for Tangting Culture to become famous.
As for why Jiang Jian agreed so easily, it is actually easy to understand. In the past few years, Jiang Jian has been watching movies in Wu Jianye's courtyard. Coupled with Wu Jianye's fame, Jiang Jian naturally hopes to be able to meet Wu Jianye.
We have cooperated, and to be honest, apart from Wu Jianye’s Tangting Culture, there really are no other cultural companies established in China.
OK! Jiang Xian didn’t even raise her head.
Zhang Huijun asked worriedly: How many people do you have? Don't exceed domestic policies.
Although private companies are allowed in China this year, there are still many restrictions, such as the classic "seven up and eight down", which means that you can set up a company, but the number of people in the company must not exceed eight people.
Wu Jianye curled his lips and said: "Don't worry, we will definitely not exceed the number of people. Right now it's just Yuzi, Xie Wan, Jiang Xi, and three clerks. Wang Shuo and the others are all cooperating, so they don't count."
Although Wu Jianye rented the entire three floors from Zhou Tao, there were only a few people working in the office, and the entire three floors seemed empty.
Several people were chatting, and the Olympic Games on TV were starting.
As the conference announced the opening of the Olympic Games, a man wearing a flight suit from above slowly flew into the middle of the stadium. This kind of flight suit was very popular in the 1980s and 1990s. Michael Jackson used it in his concert, and even Hong Kong also used it.
.
It once appeared in "Best Partner: The Queen's Secret Order".
Then I saw the original five-ring pattern changed into the word ele, and there were planes flying over in the sky, spraying out the words ele and so on.
The opening ceremony of the Los Angeles Olympic Games officially began. Wu Jianye saw that many spectators were looking forward to the situation in the venue, either waiting for the performance or waiting for the national delegation to enter.
, and at the same time, there were also many people waving their own national flags in their hands.
Where should we, China, be ranked? Xie Wan couldn't help but ask.
It's early, there's still a performance, and after the performance is over, there will be an entrance ceremony for the national representatives.
In the stadium, the ceremony is going on in an orderly manner, and the Kirov airship will fly over the sky at the same time. Uh... it's a white airship!
Bands from various colleges and universities in the United States entered the venue to perform, and at the same time, jet planes in the sky displayed the Olympic rings logo.
Then the square team entered the stage, showing various circles. Finally, the map of the United States was displayed.
As the performance continued, a black female singer sang the first song of the opening ceremony.
The old beauty had a grand ceremony! Ge Youqi opened a bottle of beer and took a sip of it for himself.
Can we not be solemn? The old American made a lot of money pointing to the Olympic Games! Wu Jianye said with a smile.
Earn money? Can you still make money by hosting the Olympics? Zhang Huijun looked at Wu Jianye curiously.
Yes, the Americans are still making less money, but they were losing money before this Olympics! Wu Jianye explained.
Before the Los Angeles Olympics was founded, all previous Olympic Games had lost money. For example, in 1972, Munich spent 1 billion U.S. dollars; in 1976, Montreal spent more than 2 billion; and in 1980, Moscow spent more than 9 billion U.S. dollars.
When Los Angeles won the right to host the Olympics, it invited 45-year-old financial professional Peter Ueberroth to serve as chairman of the organizing committee.
After Ueberroth became chairman, the first problem he faced was the source of funding. The Los Angeles Olympics was the first non-governmental sports event since the 1896 Olympic Games. It had no government subsidies and could not increase the burden on taxpayers. In addition, American law prohibited the issuance of funds.
Lottery, all funds must be raised by oneself. Ueberroth led this committee to start from scratch and expand financial resources, and took the following major measures: entering into funding agreements with enterprise groups; selling television broadcast rights and game tickets; compressing various expenses and making full use of them.
For existing facilities, try not to build stadiums; do not build a new Olympic Village; rent two university dormitories in California for athletes and officials to stay; recruit volunteers to work voluntarily for the conference, etc.
The total budget of this Olympic Games is US$450 million. Originally, Ueberroth planned to make a surplus of US$150 million after breaking even with his business methods. However, according to materials released by the Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee on December 19, 1984,
The surplus was US$250 million. As a result, Ueberroth became famous and was hailed as the god of Olympic management.
As the performance in the stadium continued, songs were played, and Wu Jianye even heard one of them being Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean.”
After the performance, it was the handover ceremony of the Olympic flag. The flag-bearers were all famous athletes from the United States, and the flag-bearer was Prince Melody, a member of the Belgian International Olympic Committee, walking out of the tunnel of the stadium.
After the flag handing over, the Los Angeles Symphonic Orchestra began to perform again. After the performance, it was the formal entrance of the national delegation!
After this performance, the national team entered the stage. Wu Jianye said with a smile.
When everyone heard this, they immediately became energetic. They leaned forward slightly and stared at the TV screen, for fear of missing the time for the Chinese team to enter.
The first person to walk out of the aisle was the birthplace of the modern Olympics, Greece!
What criteria does this national team follow for admission? Why is Greece the first one? Ge You asked curiously.
Come on, the birthplace of the Olympic Games is Greece. Naturally, Greece will be the first to enter the venue, and then they should enter in alphabetical order by country. Mu Deyuan said with a smile.
oh!
Then our country’s name starts with the word “C”, so it should be very soon! Ge You continued to ask.
Um!
As Canada, Cayman Islands, Zade, Chile and other countries entered the venue, the melody of "Three Major Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention" sounded in the venue. Everyone in the small courtyard became excited, knowing that this was the Chinese delegation entering the venue!
At this time, the most intense applause erupted in the venue. At this time, China was still mysterious to the United States. They were eager to know the story of this country. The commentator on the scene even shouted: When the dragon from the east, the Chinese delegation
When he came on stage, he received warm applause from the audience!
Long live China!
Long live China!
.......
In the small courtyard, Zhang Huijun and others also shouted passionately at this time.
The flag bearer of the Chinese delegation is none other than Wang Libin of the Chinese basketball team. Before Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming, he was known as the best center player in Asia!
Then the members of the entire national delegation walked out of the aisle one after another. The men were wearing blue suits and white trousers, while the women were wearing blue suits and white short skirts. Wu Jianye could clearly see through the TV
See the excitement in their eyes.
A total of 353 members came to the Chinese delegation this time, including 225 athletes. It was a large number of people. Everyone walked slowly in front of Wu Jianye.
Wu Jianye saw Iron Hammer Lang Ping in the team. The current Chinese women's volleyball delegation is at its peak. During the five consecutive championships, the women's volleyball team has no rivals in the world. They will also win the gold medal in this Olympics.
.
At the same time, Wu Jianye also saw Xu Haifeng, who had won China's first Olympic gold medal, and he looked a little nervous. Before participating in the Olympics, because he competed in relatively advanced events, everyone had great hopes for him!
Later, Wu Jianye also saw Li Ning, the prince of gymnastics. He was still very young and could not have imagined what kind of results he would achieve in the Olympic Games. At the same time, he certainly could not have imagined that one day he would become a gymnast in the Olympic Games held in China.
Which one lights the torch!
Do you think the women's volleyball team can win the Olympic championship this time? Jiang Qian also asked excitedly.
The women's volleyball team is now the biggest star of the national team. In 2019, the Chinese women's volleyball team participated in the third Volleyball World Cup held in RB in November as the Asian champion. They won the World Cup with a record of seven victories.
champion.
Won the championship in 1982.
Now the whole country is praying for the women's volleyball team to win the Olympic championship and achieve three consecutive championships.
Definitely! Wu Jianye said firmly, this time is not for the cold water drinks, not for the sales of Jianlibao, but for the Chinese sports team to stand at the highest peak of the world sports stage!
Compared with other countries, the Chinese delegation was obviously a little nervous. Only a few team leaders behind Wang Libin waved to the audience, while the other athletes walked in uniform...
The queue is very long, but you have to walk through it after all. In fact, the whole process is not long, only two or three minutes.
But even these short two or three minutes still made the audience in front of the TV excited.
What was left was that delegations from other countries entered the venue. Among them, the one that received the most enthusiastic cheers was naturally the delegation from the host country, the United States. Nowadays, they can almost crush the forces of other countries in track and field events, so the scene
The commentator also specially introduced the members of the American track and field team, including the number one favorite in the world of track and field, Carl Lewis!
As for the most famous basketball dream team of the American delegation in the future, we have to wait until the 1992 Atlanta Olympics. The first dream team led by the old gangster Jordan, Magic Johnson, and Bird Bird began. From then on, American basketball
The national team has become the most watched team in the Olympic Games!
The NBA has not entered China yet, and Stern has not sat on CCTV for several hours with NBA videos just to promote the NBA.
As for the NBA committing suicide in the future, it is not something that the current Chinese people can think of. Even Wu Jianye did not know about this matter. After all, Wu Jianye had been reborn when it happened...
After the entrance ceremony, the participating teams from more than 140 countries and regions gathered in the venue, and then athletes who had won gold medals in the Olympics escorted the Olympic flag into the venue. This flag will be hoisted on the sports
The sky above the venue was swaying in the wind.
After the Olympic flag was raised, the doves of peace were released. Looking at the white doves flying in the sky, Wu Jianye couldn't help but think that the white dove Wu who came to Xiangjiang was also inspired by this.
Then came the torch relay. First, Gina Hemphill, the granddaughter of the late famous American athlete Jesse Owens, came to the venue holding the torch high and began to circle the venue.
Wu Jianye's eyes are always looking for the location of the Chinese delegation. Unfortunately, the current live broadcast technology is not as developed as later generations. It is not easy to find the Chinese delegation, but I don't think the members of the delegation at this time will be like
Delegations from other countries, like other countries, rushed out of their formations and used their cameras to take pictures of Gina Hanfield holding the torch.
After completing the circuit, Gina Hemphill passed the torch to Raphael Johnson, the American decathlon champion at the 1960 Rome Olympics, who lit the Olympic flame.
At this time, the sky had darkened, and the athlete representatives also came to the podium to swear an oath on behalf of the athletes. Then, performers entered the venue. At this time, the opening ceremony was coming to an end, and many national delegations had begun to perform.
After leaving, of course some national team representatives stayed and started singing and dancing with the performers!
That’s it! Xie Wan said with some unfinished thoughts.
Don't worry, tomorrow is the official competition event.
