Ikarus360 Posted May 27, 2018 Report Posted May 27, 2018 Is that so? Those numbers sound a lot like Beijing 2008, or at least Olympic ceremonies before Sochi took a crap on everything and forced everyone to downgrade costs. I kind of imagined this was going to be pretty big considering they're already setting up the stage this early, when we still have more than two months to go. I'm intrigued to see what they do, given Indonesia's rich culture. What other works have Wishnutama and the production team done? Correct me if i'm wrong but Ric Birch is working as a consultant for this ceremony, right? Quote
