On the evening of August 8th, the closing ceremony of the 31st FISU World University Games will take place at the Chengdu Open Air Music Park. As the opening approaches, Chief Director Jia Ding and the main creative team are unveiling the highlights of the closing ceremony.
"Unlike traditional closing ceremonies, the performance of this closing ceremony won't be divided into chapters; it will be a grand-scale musical." As is pointed out by Jia Ding, traditional closing ceremony performances unfold like the pages of a book, revealing their contents for all to see. "We envisage it as multiple scroll-like segments, seamlessly transitioning and harmoniously flowing."
A FISU vlogger connects the musical
At that time, what kind of musical will the audience witness? Jia explains, "Normally, people watch musicals that are around 120 minutes long, but the musical in the closing ceremony is only 26 minutes, making it a highly condensed large-scale musical."
What will be presented within the 26 minutes? Jia reveals that the entire musical revolves around a FISU vlogger, showcasing his perspective on the 12 days of the Chengdu FISU World University Games. "The vlogger will livestream the entire closing ceremony performance with his smartphone, offering his unique view of the Chengdu FISU World University Games. For instance, he will capture the dedication of athletes, the volunteers, the vibrant city, and the glimpse of the future... Through the vlogger's smartphone livestream, real-time sharing will be achieved." Zhang Chao, the actor portraying the vlogger, stated, "I will connect the three parts of the musical, paying tribute to athletes, volunteers, and the future."
During the segment paying tribute to athletes, the university student vlogger will witness basketball, water sports, and martial arts competitions.
In the segment paying tribute to volunteers, the vlogger will observe the welcoming services at the airport, the volunteers at the sports venues, the services at the FISU Games Village cafeteria, as well as the presence of volunteers throughout various corners of the city.
Rong Bao will embrace an eclectic style
In the closing ceremony performance, the main performers remain university students, including athletes from various countries. Visual director Yang Duo explains, "Realistic yet romantic, this is the visual essence of the closing ceremony." The romantic aspect of the closing ceremony lies in the diverse and splendid visual expressions, such as the artistic and beautiful fireworks; the realistic aspect is primarily manifested on the stage, with 31 mobile screens continuously livestreaming. The audience can experience real-time connections with youth from around the world, highlighting the blending of friendship between Chinese athletes and those from foreign countries.
Yang Duo introduces that in the closing ceremony, "Rong Bao" will embrace an eclectic style, creating sparks through the fusion of elements like pop girl groups, rap, Sichuan opera, traditional melodies, and puppetry face-changing. The "Rong Bao" performance in the closing ceremony will be presented in a 360-degree naked-eye stereoscopic manner, and from every angle, "Rong Bao" will appear plump and exceptionally adorable.
"A General Map of Famous Rivers in Shu" connects the dynamic modern scenery of Chengdu
There is also a special group of performers at the closing ceremony – a team of robots. The head of the robot team, Li Chao, introduces that the robots will ride on self-balancing vehicles, dance with their partners, and perform a series of high-difficulty movements. Representing the future, the robots will also trigger the highlight of the closing ceremony – unveiling "A General Map of Famous Rivers in Shu" on the stage.
"A General Map of Famous Rivers in Shu" will connect the dynamic modern scenery of Chengdu, bridging the gap between ancient and contemporary, stillness and motion, and initiating a dialogue between the future and the past.
期待!成都大运会闭幕式剧透来了
8月8日晚,成都第31届世界大学生夏季运动会闭幕式将在成都露天音乐公园举行。开演在即,总导演甲丁带领主创团队为大家揭秘闭幕式亮点。
“不同于传统的闭幕式,本次闭幕式表演没有篇章,将是超大型歌舞剧。”甲丁表示,传统的闭幕式表演像一本书,一页一页翻给大家看。“我们希望它是一个画卷中的几个部分,能够自然转换,一气呵成。”
一名大运拍客串联歌舞剧
届时,观众会看到一台怎样的歌舞剧?甲丁介绍:“平日里大家看的歌舞剧都在120分钟左右,闭幕式上的歌舞剧只有26分钟,它是一个高度浓缩的大型歌舞剧。”
26分钟内要呈现什么?甲丁透露,整部歌舞剧以一名大运拍客为主,展现他眼中成都大运会的12天。“大运拍客将用手机直播整个闭幕式表演,用他的视角展现成都大运会。比如,他看到了拼搏的运动员,看到了志愿者,看到了火热的城市,看到了未来……通过拍客的手机直播,做到即时分享。”大运拍客的饰演者张超说:“我将串联歌舞剧的三个部分,分别是致敬运动员、志愿者和未来。”
在致敬运动员环节,大运拍客将看到篮球、水上运动项目以及武术比赛。
在致敬志愿者环节,大运拍客将看到机场的迎宾服务、赛场的志愿者、大运村食堂的服务,以及城市各个角落的志愿者身影。
蓉宝将玩混搭风
在闭幕式表演中,表演主体依然是大学生,其中有各国运动员。视觉导演杨多介绍:“写实又浪漫,是本次闭幕式视觉所呈现的状态。”闭幕式的浪漫在于视觉表达上多元绚烂,比如艺术的唯美烟火;写实主要表现在舞台上有31块手机屏幕一直在直播状态,观众能实时感受到和世界各国青年的连线,中国运动员和国外运动员友谊的交融。
杨多介绍,闭幕式上“蓉宝”将玩“混搭”风,与流行女团、说唱、川剧、清音、木偶变脸等碰撞出火花。闭幕式上的“蓉宝”将以360°裸眼立体方式呈现,观众从每个角度看,“蓉宝”都是胖乎乎的,特别可爱。
《蜀川胜概图》连接现代成都动态美景
闭幕式上还有一群特殊演员——机器人团队。机器人团队负责人李超介绍,机器人将骑上平衡车,与伙伴飙舞,完成一系列高难度动作。代表未来的机器人,还将触发本次闭幕式的重头戏——点开《蜀川胜概图》。
《蜀川胜概图》将连接起现代成都的动态美景,一古一今,一静一动,未来和过去形成对话。
