【巴黎奧運專題 一】如何看待褒貶不一的巴黎奧運開幕式？

Hello everyone, welcome to this special program for the Paris Olympics. Zhaoyang's wish is to make it into a series, so that our audience can watch and talk about the Olympics with Zhaoyang. We can enjoy the tension and excitement brought by competitive sports, and we can also feel the passion of the country and the different people. In today's first episode, we will first talk about the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics. Because I saw the comprehensive online reviews, there are good ones and bad ones. But what I want to say is that the opening ceremony can be held smoothly, even if French President Macron is in a bad mood. Why do I say this? First of all, holding the Olympics now is not a trivial matter. Many countries often choose not to hold the Olympics. Because there is a precondition, the origin of the Olympics was held in 2004. In order to make the Olympics come home, Greece's final spending was three times their budget. This was one of the triggers for the Greek economic crisis. In 2016, the Paris Olympics cost $13.2 billion. After the Olympics, Brazil entered an economic downturn. And the Tokyo Olympics last year. As one of the leading countries in the world of science and technology, Japan wanted to make a big deal out of the science and technology Olympics and raise the international image of Japan to another level. But it didn't work. It was a thing called COVID-19 that couldn't be seen or touched. The Olympics were held everywhere. As a result, the bamboo basket was empty. The Japanese government and the people's wallets were also empty. Although the Chinese media in mainland China bragged that But as a relative of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, how many inconveniences did this Olympic Games bring to the Chinese people? Especially Beijing and the entire Hebei region, how many sacrifices did it make? I want to say how opaque the statistics in China are. So go and see the corrupt officials in the anti-corruption. The answer is in your heart. So when the 2024 Olympic Games was held, many countries actively withdrew. Only Paris and Los Angeles were slow. So the International Olympic Committee immediately slapped a 2024 and a 2028. So when a lot of countries or the media are still talking about what facilities are simple, eat a bed, don't install air conditioning, meals are simple, there are no things, etc. I really want to say, please understand the International Olympic Committee. Maybe their idea is that the Olympics can be held. We don't ask for too much. Besides, in France, what people advocate is to cut down on violence. First of all, the money is taxpayers' money. Second, maybe people really don't have money now. One of the reasons we mentioned just now is COVID-19. Second, I want to say, aren't we all busy helping Ukraine now? France also stole real money. So I really want to say one more thing about installing air conditioning. Because I really checked the weather forecast. So in the next ten days, the highest temperature during the day is 33 degrees. And the lowest temperature at night has reached several degrees. So isn't this little day comfortable? Which door to install air conditioning? So we have to give a serious praise to Apple's chief executive Cook. Second, I want to say, before the opening ceremony, the atmosphere in Paris was not very good. First of all, the Russian-French war. When Macron proposed the Olympic ceasefire agreement, Putin didn't agree. He just said, let me think about it. But what did Russia do during the Olympics? This is not without precedent. First of all, during the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, Putin held the Olympics locally, and he sent troops to occupy Crimea in Ukraine. And during the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics ceasefire agreement, Putin launched a comprehensive invasion of Ukraine, which has not ended so far. So this time Putin will do something. No one can say for sure. And Israel and Hamas are still fighting. The organization of Kremlin and the Middle East have not stopped in France. Of course, it also includes the UK, Germany and other European countries. So will they make some moves through the Olympics? This is also a hard thing to say. So just before the opening ceremony, the railway system in France was severely damaged. It caused a lot of sports teams to postpone or change their plans So you see, France's stability is said to have given 12 points of spirit. It is said that there are nearly 70,000 people. This is quite a shock. Next, let's go back to the opening ceremony itself. Whether it's 2004 Athens or 2008 Beijing, or Tokyo last year, the opening ceremony of the Olympics is almost the host country to show the best side of its country. So we see, the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics has a famous stream, a famous star, a famous victory, and a famous scene. The whole process takes four hours. Six kilometers along the route of the Sena River, the director leads the audience to appreciate Paris as the world's most romantic city with its long history and iconic architecture. So what does it include? The famous Paris Chamber of Commerce, the Louvre, and, of course, the Eiffel Tower. Of course, what is popular on the Internet is the popular modernist art. And the Canadian queen, Celine Dion, And whether it's open or conservative, or left and right, to describe the form of consciousness that this performance conveys. So France does show us the real face of French society today. And France is an important component of the European Renaissance. In fact, even the English word Renaissance comes from the French system. It can be said that it represents the exploration and recognition of the new world of mankind. More importantly, it is the recognition of beauty. So what is beauty and how to show beauty? If we look at it this way, let's go back and review the opening speech of the Paris Olympics that just ended. So I want to say that maybe this is the definition and interpretation In the opening speech, the last supper of Christianity's famous painting, the Eiffel Tower, or the turbulent bridge are all moved to the big screen. I also want to say that this just reflects the conservative religion, morality, and bottom line in the minds of these French people today, their definitions and restrictions on them. Finally, let's end with two famous people's tweets. The first person is Macron, the French president. After the opening speech, he tweeted, this is France. And Sun Haiying, a well-known Chinese actor who has a Christian faith So how do you see this opening performance? I also hope that you can leave a message to interact and discuss with me.
