In two days, the opening ceremony of Hangzhou Asian Games will be held in Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center Stadium, which is known as the “Big Lotus”. On September 21st, a press conference on preparations for the opening ceremony of the Hangzhou Asian Games was held in the press conference hall of the main media center of the Asian Games. According to Sha Xiaolan, the general director and producer of the opening ceremony of the Hangzhou Asian Games, the lighting of the main torch will be carried out in the form of “digital crowdfunding lighting”, highlighting the national fitness. Lu Chuan, the general director of the opening ceremony of Hangzhou Asian Games, introduced the content of the warm-up film for the opening ceremony. He said that this short film was a love letter written by the director to Hangzhou.

Why did you announce the ignition mode so early? What is the significance of such ignition? At this press conference, Sha Xiaolan introduced how to find another way to ignite. The team thought for a long time and finally returned to the essence of sports. He said: “What is the essence of sports, not a few people, and keeping fit is a matter for the whole people.” Therefore, the opening ceremony team announced the ignition plan early and invited people from all over the country, Asia and the world to participate in digital crowdfunding ignition online to create an atmosphere of national fitness.

According to Sha Xiaolan, up to now, more than 100 million people have participated in online digital ignition. He said that since the way of group ignition is chosen, hundreds of thousands and millions of people are not enough, at least tens of millions are needed. “It is very gratifying that the number of people who participate in online ignition has exceeded 100 million.” He revealed that at the opening ceremony, digital torchbearers will represent the people who lit the torch online, step over the “waves of Qiantang River” and come to the stadium to cooperate with the torchbearers on site to light the main torch.
Lu Chuan: The warm-up film is a love letter to Hangzhou.
At the Beijing Winter Olympics, the director team led by Zhang Yimou took the lead in broadcasting a short film before the opening ceremony, which became a wonderful memory of Beijing Winter Olympics. This year’s Hangzhou Asian Games invited Lu Chuan, a well-known director, as the general director of the opening ceremony of the Hangzhou Asian Games. As a film director, the task of preheating the film at the opening ceremony naturally fell to Lu Chuan.

Different from the openness of the ignition ceremony, Lu Chuan hopes to keep a little mystery about the content of the film. However, he still revealed at this news conference that the theme of this film is “based on Hangzhou, expressing China and thinking of Asia”. He expressed the hope that the film would show China’s openness, tolerance and enterprising spirit. Lu Chuan introduced that since 2021, he has conceived and produced this film with a team of directors. “The most difficult thing is to understand Hangzhou.” Lu Chuan introduced that in recent years, he took the team’s directors all over the streets and alleys of Hangzhou, and even closed the Liangzhu site, feeling the long history and culture of Hangzhou and drawing energy.

In Lu Chuan’s view, this film is a “prelude” to the opening ceremony of Hangzhou Asian Games and a love letter written by the director to Hangzhou. Lu Chuan said: “At the opening ceremony, there will be nine IMAX screens, which will form the largest screen on earth to play this film.” He said that as a film director, this is the pride of his life.
Highlights: Crossing the dialogue between ancient and modern times, restoring the Qiantang River tide.
At the press conference, Li Yiqing, spokesperson of the Opening and Closing Ceremonies Command Center of the Hangzhou Asian Games, introduced that the theme of the opening ceremony of the Hangzhou Asian Games was “Rise of Asia”, presenting creative and beautiful poems and paintings in the south of the Yangtze River in three chapters, and combining oriental aesthetics with western art by means of a musical series of Yue operas. In order to create a wonderful and classic ceremony performance, the team carefully selected representative songs and dances, operas and non-legacy projects from 11 cities in Zhejiang Province as warm-up programs.
The dialogue between ancient and modern times is also a highlight of this opening ceremony. The naked-eye 3D Gongchen Bridge connects the ancient times and leads to the present. There are also digital domes, enlarged basketball, football, interactive performances, and the ultra-high proportion of restored Qiantang River tide, which make the audience feel the shocking picture.
