[Going to the Winter Olympics together] The opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics is behind the opportunity for the first time, but also the challenge of ingenuity+scientific and technologic

　　CCTV News:There are many firsts in the opening ceremony of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. For example, for the first time in China, an event of this scale was held in the open air in winter, and for the first time, it was held with relatively few cast members under the background of normalization of epidemic prevention and control. And behind this first time is an opportunity, but also a challenge!

　　The first challenge facing the opening ceremony of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics is the cold weather. The Bird’s Nest is an open-air venue, so how to make the cast members keep out the cold while ensuring the performance effect is a problem.

　　The costume is beautiful, thick and warm, and besides the costume, there are some tricks to keep out the cold.

　　How to present a full performance effect in the Bird’s Nest with a small number of people?

　　The problem of keeping warm from the cold has been solved, and there are still more thorny problems. According to the requirements of the normalization of epidemic prevention and control, the opening ceremony can’t use a large number of cast members according to past experience, so how to use a few people to present a full performance effect in the huge empty space of the Bird’s Nest is another big challenge.

　　In the past, there were thousands or thousands of people in a single program at the Bird’s Nest, but now there are less than 3,600 actors in the whole opening ceremony, and the performance effect must be guaranteed. How to break through innovation?

　　Li Danyang, Production Director of the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics:The visual effect should be full, which requires the combination of dance beauty, video and high technology. A new technology developed by our Beijing Film Academy is just like the image captured on the screen in real time. This performance of ours should be said to be the first time. In fact, it has realized the freedom of screen interaction. In this case, this occasion does not need too many people, and too many people will not see the effect.
