| 摘 要： | CELEBRATED Chinese film director Zhang Yimou was recently selected as leader of the team that will work on the Beijing 2008 Olympics opening and closing ceremonies. As the old Chinese saying goes, "A good beginning takes you halfway to success," and a great deal is expected of the 2008 Olympics opening ceremony. Its aim is to create a positive and lasting impression of China's splendid civilization on participating athletes, spectators from all over the world and the billions of TV viewers that watch it. The Beijing Olympics Organizing Committee has invited three overseas consultants to join the work team. They are world-renowned American movie director Steven Spielberg, president of French company ECA2 Yves Pepin, who staged the 2004 Olympics closing ceremony in Athens, and Australian Richard Peter Birch, chief director of four successive Olympic events since 1988.
