Zhang Yimou, who directed the opening and closing ceremonies for Beijing's 2008 Summer Games, will be behind the wheel again for the ceremonies for the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, making the 71-year-old the first person to direct both the Summer and Winter Games ceremonies as Beijing makes history as the first city to host both.

张艺谋表示，非常荣幸可以成为“双奥”导演，感到身上担子沉甸甸。

"It's a great honor to direct the opening ceremony for the second time," Zhang said, adding that "the burden is very heavy".

北京冬奥组委开闭幕式工作部部长、国家体育场运行团队主任常宇说：“张艺谋导演主导创作了令世人惊叹的北京2008年奥运会开闭幕式，给全世界留下了非常深的印象。2017年，冬奥组委再次聘请张艺谋担任平昌冬奥会闭幕式‘北京8分钟’导演，又一次在一个很短的时间内向世界展现了不一样的中国，各方评价也非常好。所以在2019年我们确立开闭幕式总导演时，经过冬奥组委的认真研究评审，最终确定再次请张艺谋担任北京冬奥会和冬残奥会开闭幕式总导演。”

"Director Zhang Yimou created the impressive 2008 Games opening ceremony that wowed the world. In 2017, we hired him to take charge of 'Beijing's eight minutes' in Pyeongchang, and he was able to present the world a different China in such a limited time with a well-received show. Therefore, when we decided on the chief director in 2019, we chose him again after careful deliberation," said Chang Yu, director of the Beijing Games organizing committee's opening and closing ceremonies department.
