Creative team for the opening ceremony of Beijing Olympic Games?

On the evening of August 8, 2008, the eyes of the whole world focused on the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games-the National Stadium "Bird's Nest". The magnificent performance and colorful fireworks complement each other, and Yao Ming and Kobayashi moved the audience hand in hand. The magnificent historical picture scroll is perfectly integrated with modern creativity, and the world is amazed by the high-tech dreamland and the world's largest performance art "Xiangyun Picture Scroll".

People care: How many touching details and stories are there behind this cultural visual feast? The creative team of the opening ceremony has been carefully polished for three years from creation to the delivery of the final work. How many times have ideas been subverted and innovated? From actors, costumes and props to lighting, acoustics and makeup, how can all the links work together to create this grand chapter showing Chinese civilization?

Starting today, Xinhua News Agency will exclusively broadcast a series of pictures of the creative team of the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games, revealing the creative process of the team led by Zhang Yimou.
