　　“Excuse me, could you make a little space for me to take a photo?” The young volunteers for the Brand Development Department were shuttling back and forth in the Preparation Area and Reception Area of the Opening Ceremony to vie with middle-aged photographers for a favorable position to capture the splendid moments of the cast & crew.

　　“Are those labels over there in place?” The volunteers working for the Opening & Closing Ceremony Department were meticulously checking every label so as to make the Opening Ceremony foolproof.

　　“Films are all set!” The volunteers with the Film Panorama Department responsible for the VR section were working nervously on film testing.

　　“Sir/Madame/Miss, this is your certificate. Please keep it!” The volunteers of the Publicity & Promotion Department of Press Center were carefully verifying the identity of each media member and issuing certificates.

　　“Ms.Yang Lan is here. Get ready for a reception!” The volunteers of Project Department for Internet Film Theme Forum were orderly guiding the moderator and guests to their seats.
