GROUND REHEARSAL & FANTASTIC PLAY

Beijing Review: Could you reveal any details regarding the preparations for the Olympic opening ceremony? And, there are people worrying that if we were to encounter a rainy day, it might affect the performance. Do you have any similar concerns?

Zhang Yimou: I surely can't give you details; otherwise you would have no interest in seeing what will really happen on that night. Currently the ceremony has started full-scale rehearsals; tens of thousands of performers will participate. Now they are rehearsing together or separately in various locations. There are several rehearsal venues in Beijing's suburbs. I certainly hope those performances will be fantastic; I hope we can give the world a grand surprise. I hope we can satisfy all the Chinese people at home and abroad.
