Renowned Chinese director Zhang Yimou announced on Friday that he will direct the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games handover performance at the closing ceremony of the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics.

This is the first time China will receive the flag at the handover performance at a Winter Olympics. Zhang revealed that he is still developing his idea for the eight-minute cultural performance heralding the start of the four-year countdown to the next Winter Olympics.

Beijing won the bid to host the 2022 Olympic Winter Games in July 2015. Zhang, who directed "House of Flying Daggers" and "Hero," is mostly known to Westerners as the chief director of the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Zhang also made a promotional film to boost Beijing's bid to host the 2022 Winter Olympic Games.

第23屆冬季奧林匹克運動會將於2018年2月9日至25日在韓國平昌郡舉行，比賽時間可以說是貫穿了整個農曆新年。

中國觀衆除了關注冬奧會上冰雪健兒的競賽水平，更期待閉幕式上正式開啓冬奧會北京週期的“北京8分鐘”演出。

曾擔任2008年奧運會開閉幕式總導演的張藝謀，現又出任韓國平昌冬奧會閉幕式“北京8分鐘”演出總導演。

他近日透露，演出團隊目前仍在緊張排練，計劃農曆大年初一啓程赴韓。

這一次，張藝謀導演會給我們帶來怎樣的驚喜?

“北京8分鐘”會有怎樣的亮點?

As the host city of the next Winter Olympics in 2022, Beijing will present an 8-minute handover show at the closing ceremony of the 2018 PyeongChang Games.

Chief director Zhang Yimou said the performance would demonstrate a confident and modern China as well as convey a warm welcome in a high-tech way.

At the PyeongChang Olympic Stadium, where the opening and closing ceremonies will be held on the 10th day of the Chinese Lunar New Year, construction is basically done.

Zhang was also the chief director of both the opening and closing ceremonies of Beijing 2008 Summer Olympic Games. He said the previous shows told the story of China's contributions to the world such as the inventions of paper, printing, gunpowder and the compass, along with icons including the Great Wall, the Terracotta Warriors, and the Silk Road. This time, Zhang is determined to present a much different story.

"We will aim to do a new show, an innovative show with new technology instead of telling the same story as before. It will be a modern performance, enhanced by high-tech," Zhang said.

Technology used in innovation can always have challenges. At the Sochi 2014 Winter Games opening ceremony, the five Olympic rings were reduced to four due to a technical glitch.

With regard to this, Zhang noted: "We've seen the Olympic rings reduced to four once, so basic technologies need to be assured. It's a double-edged sword and we have to test it over and over again."
