How was it born?
The creative team
• BOCOG* started soliciting programs worldwide for the Opening Ceremony in 2005. In 2006, 13 winning proposals started on their second round of competition. Based on the final results, a five-member directors' group was appointed from the three best teams. Zhang Yimou was chosen as artistic director.

Creating artistic harmony
• The concept of a "painting scroll" emerged and most of the original program ideas unfolded around it, forming the artistic concept of "displaying the world on a small square," demonstrating the progress of blending Chinese culture with world culture.
![Page 7: HKBU Festive Lecture 7 - manpower talent and stage management](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051515/5538f3f35503469f338b4940/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
One World One Dream
• All members of the creative team believed that the Earth should appear in the Opening Ceremony, which thus conformed to the slogan "One World One Dream." Chinese painting was also one of the elements that the creative team emphasized. The concept of paper could combine perfectly with Chinese paintings and thus become the master link that ran through the performances of the Opening Ceremony.

Two parts to make the whole
By the end of April 2007, the creative team finally decided to divide the artistic performances into two parts:
• the first half, "Brilliant Civilization," would highlight the past 5,000 years of Chinese civilization, and
• the second half, "Glorious Era," would exhibit the great achievements and the new look of modern China, portraying the Chinese nation's dream of building harmoniously with the people of the world.
![Page 9: HKBU Festive Lecture 7 - manpower talent and stage management](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051515/5538f3f35503469f338b4940/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Two parts to make the whole
• On this stage, "moveable type printing," "Confucius' 3,000 disciples," "The Analects of Confucius," "Zheng He's ocean voyages" and "Chinese ritual music" would all be showcased, depicting a weighty painting of the flow of Chinese civilization.
• The long scroll would also incorporate China's more recent achievements, including the "Bird's Nest."
![Page 10: HKBU Festive Lecture 7 - manpower talent and stage management](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051515/5538f3f35503469f338b4940/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
29th Olympiad - 29 footprints
• The creative team worked out a design that combined a display of the Olympic ringswith "footprints of fireworks." 29 colossal "footprints," representing the Games of the XXIX Olympiad, would make their way into the stadium with the last "footprint" exploding in the air over the Bird's Nest.

From creation to production• Highly skilled performers had
to work through aches and pains to fulfill the requirements of dancing on the abstract backgrounds; this is especially true for the 60 artists that were chosen to surround the model Earth. During training, they were required to run, jump and somersault with their bodies leaning in fantastically different angles.
![Page 12: HKBU Festive Lecture 7 - manpower talent and stage management](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051515/5538f3f35503469f338b4940/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Keys to identifying festive performing participants
• Event’s brand in attracting talented directors and performing artists
• A well designed theme
• A well organized festive event structure
• Budget is important, but it’s secondary
![Page 13: HKBU Festive Lecture 7 - manpower talent and stage management](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051515/5538f3f35503469f338b4940/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Casting, audition, and rehearsals
• Training centre or even academy is often required. In the case of Beijing Olympics, there was the BOCOG Ceremony Operation Centre

Special Talent
• BOCOG had to host a competition to solicit “children’s smile”
![Page 15: HKBU Festive Lecture 7 - manpower talent and stage management](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051515/5538f3f35503469f338b4940/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Rehearsals up to 1 year aheadWith a massive crew of over 15,000 cast members,rehearsals had to take place in different venues:
• Choreography, • Costume, • Décor,• Scenery, • Lights, • Sound, • Fireworks
As a key process of the production stage, the rehearsal of the program started in August at a designated place in Beijing's suburbs.
![Page 16: HKBU Festive Lecture 7 - manpower talent and stage management](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051515/5538f3f35503469f338b4940/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Planning talent workshop
• While choreographers will train their cast members, it’s important for everyone to know the theme and the full picture of the ceremony through workshops and briefings
![Page 17: HKBU Festive Lecture 7 - manpower talent and stage management](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051515/5538f3f35503469f338b4940/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Manpower resource planning
• For festive events, it’s not financially feasible to pay for every performer
• 15,000 performers
• World class artists and celebrities
• Top notch production crew
![Page 18: HKBU Festive Lecture 7 - manpower talent and stage management](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051515/5538f3f35503469f338b4940/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
If you can’t pay $, you pay face
