Before the start of the Olympic Games, the world's major media had already organized teams to come to Athens to station, and the number of interviews was almost double that of the previous Olympic Games, which was the largest number in the history of the Olympic Games so far.

According to media reports, if it weren't for the strict control of the number of journalists in the Athenian side, the actual number would have doubled.

The reason why there has been such a big surge in the number of reporters is not only because of the Olympics themselves, but also because Long, the global pop superstar, participated in this Olympic Games, and when it was revealed that he will participate in a number of track and field events and swimming events, and is also a member of the basketball team, the enthusiasm of the global media is unprecedentedly high, and even the amount of bets placed by major bookmakers around the world has skyrocketed these days.

Major gaming companies have opened up a betting topic about long, there are bets on when he won the first gold medal, there are bets on what event he will win the first gold medal, and there are bets that he will win a total of several gold medals, of which the odds of zero gold medals are one to two, it is not very high, everyone including the betting company is relatively optimistic that Chen Feng will win one more gold medal, but the odds of two gold medals are one to five, and then with the increase in the number of gold medals, and the corresponding increase in the odds, the highest is more than ten gold medals (including ten) odds, up to one to one hundred, individual bookmakers are open a one hundred and twenty ultra-high oddsThis undoubtedly shows that bookmakers generally do not believe that Chen Feng will win ten or more gold medals, which is almost a fantasy. This also represents the perception of the vast majority of people.

It's no wonder that they think or deduce this, first of all, Chen Feng, as a yellow race, has a natural disadvantage in track and field events. Especially in the field of men's track and field in China, it has been decades since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and there has been no breakthrough in zero.

The second is men's swimming, and there is no achievement on the Huaguo side. The men's swimming category has not won many medals, let alone gold medals.

As for the basketball game, not to mention, in the global public perception, the difficulty of the Chinese basketball team to win the championship is almost the same as that of the Chinese men's football team to win the World Cup.

Chen Feng participated in these two major events, both of which belonged to the traditional weakness of the yellow race, especially the Chinese people, and everyone generally did not believe that he could create a miracle. It can even be said to be a miracle. Even if Chen Feng suddenly broke out in the small universe and won one or two gold medals, it was already very against the sky.

It is absolutely impossible to win 10 or more gold medals.

Of course, although the odds are super high, and everyone thinks that it is impossible to win, there are still many long brain-dead fans who are betting one after another, so that in several well-known bookmakers in the world, they have accumulated nearly five million dollars in this bet so far. On average, according to the odds of one hundred to one, it is 500 million US dollars. If they lose money in the end, these major bookmakers will go bankrupt directly. Broken muscles and bones are certain.

Therefore, even if these bookmakers know that it is absolutely impossible for Chen Feng to win a double-digit gold medal, they still slowly lowered the odds, but there are still many brainless fans who have placed bets on this bet, and the betting amount has been rising in a straight line in the past few days.

And Chen Feng himself made a lot of money in these major gaming companies at the beginning, and later made several gaming companies go bankrupt. Only then did he stop. This opportunity is rare, and these bookmakers are too profitable to look down on him, so in the past few days^ he has secretly placed bets on himself in various bookmakers in batches, and of course the double-digit gold medal bet with the highest odds has been placed, and the cumulative amount has been almost 10 million US dollars, and the average final harvest is at least 1 billion US dollars. This large amount of money, he does not earn in vain. Of course, when he earns this money, he does not enrich his own pockets, but uses it for public welfare and charity. It can also be regarded as accumulating virtue for those bookmakers.

Chen Feng has only been training secretly for a day in the Olympic Village. On August 11, he was notified to accompany the leaders of the regiment to attend the press conference.

This arrangement somewhat disgusted Chen Feng. Seeing that the Olympics are about to begin, his first competition will be held two days later, on the 14th, at this time. What he wants is to calm down and have no distractions.

Chen Feng had the heart to refuse, but after thinking about it, he was really not good at playing a big name, and at the same time, he also somewhat understood the thoughts of those regiment leaders, and he must have hoped to use his fame to make this ordinary press conference more powerful and expand his influence. This can be regarded as winning glory for the country, and at the same time, it can also allow the leaders of the regiment to show their faces in the world's major media, which is also a great achievement for them, and they naturally do not want to miss it.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Chen Feng decided to obey the arrangement of the group.

Chen Feng sat on the main table as one of the athletes' representatives, and several deputy heads headed by Chen Fugui on the same stage, Yuan Weimin, the head of the group, was not present.

And because Chen Feng participated in the press conference, the scene was crowded with media, and the huge large conference hall was crowded.

First of all, several deputy heads of the delegation gave a detailed introduction to the situation of the Chinese Olympic delegation to the reporters present, saying that the training and life of the Chinese athletes were normal, and they were holding back their strength to wait for the opening, and Xiao Tian, the deputy head of the regiment in charge of the competition, issued a "mobilization order" to win gold on the first day.

As of this day, more than 450 members of the Chinese delegation have arrived in Athens, including 285 athletes. In this Olympic Games, Chinese athletes have qualified for 26 major events and 203 minor events in 28 events. The delegation will compete in 26 major events and 203 minor events at the Athens Olympic Games.

The Chinese delegation has a total of 634 members, and 408 athletes participated. The delegation's transportation and training in the Athens Olympic Village and the training venues were relatively normal, and the sports teams were able to adapt to the Athenian climate and the environment in which they competed.

These deputy heads of the regiment talked for more than half an hour, which made the reporters below listen to it a little impatient and drowsy.

Originally, there was no question session at the press conference, but after the deputy heads of the delegation had become addicted to speaking abroad, they reciprocated the favor to the reporters present and gave them three questions to ask.

As a result, this decision immediately drew warm applause from the reporters present.

Then, the first local Athenian female journalist to be given the right to ask questions. Without any surprise, he asked Chen Feng, who had been sitting upright at the main ^ table.

"Long, hello, my name is Melissa and I'm a reporter for Athens TV. First of all, we Athenians are very much welcome to you, and I love you very much...... So what I want to ask is, how many gold medals are you aiming for in the Olympics this time? How many do you think you can win? Thank you. ”

The female reporter spoke English, and although the accent was strong, Chen Feng could understand it. He came to this press conference this time and was ready to be asked. This question is not too sharp, so Chen Feng replied casually: "My gold medal goal is, of course, the more the better, as for how many gold medals I can win, it is useless to talk about it now, it depends on my on-the-spot performance and luck at that time, please wait and see." That's it. Also, I will only accept one question, and I will ask the reporters present to ask the other people seated at the main ^ table as a courtesy. Thank you. ”

Chen Feng speaks English. As a result, the second named female reporter said that she was Russian in Russian, and then continued to ask Chen Feng whether he had any plans to travel to Russia in the future, and whether they had the confidence to surpass them in the total number of medals this time.

Of course, Chen Feng didn't believe that the Russian female reporter couldn't understand the English he had just spoken, so he said in Russian: "I'm sorry, I just said it." I'm going to answer only one question at this press conference, and I'm doing what I say, so I can only leave you alone. ”

After Chen Feng refused to answer, the Russian female reporter appeared very excited and protested loudly to Chen Feng, but Chen Feng just couldn't hear it.

The female reporter soon received a warning from the security guards present, and when she saw this, she sat down and remained silent.

After that, only three or two kittens were raised by the reporters present, and the object of the question also shifted to Tian Liang, who was also an athlete's representative.

Tian Liang is a handsome man. He has won the diving championship and has the title of the prince of diving, especially in Asian countries.

However, the reporter who was given the right to ask questions was a South Korean, and he asked Tian Liang if he was confident in Long's participation this time. Feel like Long deserves a couple of gold medals.

Fortunately, Tian Liang is not a child anymore, and he answered this question very skillfully, saying that he absolutely has confidence in Chen Feng, as for winning a few gold medals, he feels that it depends on Chen Feng's specific efforts, in short, he is very optimistic about Chen Feng.

After the three questions, the press conference that made Chen Feng feel relatively boring was finally over.

In the next two days, Chen Feng conducted closed training in the training hall with peace of mind, and his women also arrived in Athens one after another. And they all got a package ticket to watch men's swimming events, track and field events, and basketball events. Of course, they must have spent a lot of money for this. Now Chen Feng's competition items are very hard to find.

Not surprisingly, after the media exposed that Paris flew to Athens to watch the game, Avril Lavril hurried over the next day, and only after arriving in Athens did she call Chen Feng, and timidly said that she really missed him too much, and wanted to cheer him on the spot before coming over. This time, she did learn to be obedient, and did not mention that she came here because Paris came. Not a word about Paris. Chen Feng saw that Li Ying loved them, and Paris was coming, so it was really hard to say anything about him. Fortunately, Chen Feng has not officially clarified the relationship between her and himself at home, although there have been scandals, there is still no official confirmation.

He is now truly in debt.

The opening ceremony is coming soon, and his game is about to start, so of course Chen Feng didn't meet these women who came to cheer for him.

On August 14, at 20:45 local time, the 28th Summer Olympic Games finally kicked off, and the main Olympic stadium in Athens, Greece became a sea of joy at this moment, and the opening ceremony of the Athens Olympic Games with the theme of "After 108 years, the Olympic Games will return to their homeland" was held here. The Olympic Stadium was already packed with delegations from 202 countries, nearly 10,000 performers and staff, and more than 50,000 spectators, all of whom joined nearly 4 billion TV viewers around the world to witness the event.

The opening ceremony officially kicked off with a 28-second countdown, which meant to commemorate the return of the Olympic Games to their "hometown" of Athens. The screen at the main stadium of the Olympic Games shows footage of athletes running in relays. Immediately after that, there was a very rhythmic sound of drums and heartbeats in the stadium.

After 28 seconds, the stadium lit up as 400 percussionists beat a powerful drum beat around a bay of clear water in the middle of the field. Then, on the big screen~ the sound of a percussionist in classical costume hitting his heartbeat appeared. Another percussionist, dressed in modern attire, corresponded in the center of the stadium, and the two were perfectly synchronized, striking from slow to fast to rhythm. As the drums pushed the atmosphere to a high ~ tide, suddenly a comet-like fireball shot from the screen into the water, and the Olympic rings logo composed of fire lines gradually rose from the water, and the audience thundered at this moment.

Chen Feng was at the scene and witnessed the scene of the huge five-ring symbol composed of the entire flame rising and burning in the water. It's really shocking, or more appropriately, it's cool, it's really creative.

Amid thunderous applause, a paper boat slowly moved from the right side of the arena to the left, with a little boy sitting on board, while at the same time, the IOC master ~ Schrog and the Greek Olympic Committee master ~ Mrs. Siangelopoulos and the Greek president Stefanopoulos also walked to the choir to the accompaniment of the band. Later, a young boy sitting on the boat joined the trio with a Greek flag. Amid the singing of the Greek national anthem "Ode to Freedom", the Greek flag was also slowly raised. At this time, the emblem of this Olympic Games - the olive branch was also displayed on the big screen.

The last part of the performance begins with the "appearance" of three of the most iconic Greek statues. First, the figure of Rémy Martin "flies" into the sky, relying on the connection of an olive branch, the head of the famous Greek philosopher Hicladic also floats from the water representing the "Aegean Sea", and finally the statue of Culus appears. Afterwards, a pair of dancers who play the role of lovers laugh and frolic in the water.

Then we move on to the part of Greek history, where the performers use a variety of techniques and different forms. It interprets the history and culture of the prehistoric period, the Mechini cultural period, the geometric era, the archaic era, the classical drama era, the Byzantine period, and the traditional period in Greek history.

To the sings of world-famous soprano Maria Callas, a "pregnant woman" walks slowly into the water, and her belly glows with a warm glow before entering the water. At the same time, a bright curtain gradually rises in the water, and a sign representing the "DNA" of new life slowly takes shape.

Many of the surrounding performers walked quickly to the center of the stadium, and to the accompaniment of the song "Big Dipper", the objects representing the rocks in the center of the field gradually gathered and formed a small mountain. Immediately, an olive branch "grew" on the hill. Immediately afterward, the performers dispersed in all directions, and the water in the pool in the center of the stadium, which represents the Aegean Sea, was quickly drained in 3 minutes, which also represented the end of the nearly hour-long theatrical performance.

Only one opening ceremony. Athens conquered the world! The Athens Olympic Games, which finally ushered in the opening of the Olympic Games, responded to all the questions about Athens with a wonderful opening. At the opening ceremony, which permeated Greek civilization and wisdom and the spirit of peace, solidarity and fraternity of mankind, all were awe-inspired.

At this moment, the question of the venue. The roof of the swimming pool, the huge expenses, have become a trivial. Just before the opening ceremony, the Athenians showed a short film on the big screen. The rapidly changing footage reveals the entire process of the Olympic Stadium from scratch, from ruins to majesty. What did the Athenians want to prove? At the last moment, they performed a miracle.

There are many objective reasons for the difficult birth of the Athens Olympics. A small city with a population of just over 10 million will not be able to support the huge Olympic Games even if the whole country is working hard. The change of government ~ government has also brought interference to the organizational work. However, Athens still had to say: "Olympic, welcome home." "Tonight, the Olympics are really home! so magnificent, so warm. No one will have the interest or reason to criticize Athens anymore.

When there is a fantastic "Aegean Sea" in the middle of the main stadium, when the five rings burn in the "Aegean Sea", when the human body flying in the air symbolizes the celestial bodies, when the gods descend on earth, when all the actors run towards the olive tree hanging above, when the athletes holding the five-ring flag run through 28 paper belts, and also run through the 28 modern Olympic Games...... The history of the Olympic Games is condensed in this moment, and the Greek civilization is also condensed in this moment.

The success of the opening ceremony in Athens lies in the fact that all the geniuses' creations serve two subtly connected themes: the unity of man and God, the unity of the four seas.

Although Chen Feng has the image of the opening of this Olympic Games in his memory bank, he was deeply shocked to watch it in person again. As the birthplace of Western civilization rich in philosophers, Athens is permeated with a deeper civilization and cultural heritage.

It is not so much that everyone was shocked by this ingenious and genius opening ceremony, but rather by the strong cultural atmosphere and cultural heritage of Athens.

Compared with the previous opening ceremony of the Sydney Olympic Games, in Chen Feng's opening, Athens exploded a few streets in Sydney this time. No matter how much you do it, Sydney is only an immigrant city after all, not to mention that there is no cultural heritage, but it is certainly not much, and it cannot be compared with Athens, a historical city of thousands of years.

Chen Feng held a DV machine in his hand and faithfully recorded this memorable opening ceremony.

Previously, Chen Feng felt that there was no need to make a DV on the scene for shooting, but he had to do so because of the orders of the women in the family, but after the whole experience, he felt that it was really wise for him to personally use DV to record the scene. T
