Chapter 03 Chapter 3
The next second, the arrow hit the ten rings directly!
The scene was completely silent, and after a moment of silence, heated discussions broke out in the venue.
"! How did that arrow just fly over there?"
"That's amazing! I couldn't even draw the bow just now, but she managed to hit ten arrows with one shot."
The live broadcast room barrage was also shocked:
[Ten rings? Am I seeing that? Ten rings?!]
[Calm down! Everyone, don't get too excited. I guess it's just a blind cat catching a dead mouse. I can shoot randomly and occasionally hit the ten-ring.]
[That makes sense. And I remember Chu Xi mentioned before that she seemed to have learned archery. She might have been deliberately hiding her abilities. So, it's not surprising that she was able to hit the ten-ring mark.]
[But I was still shocked. It's rare to see an artist who can hit the target right at the beginning of training, and even hit ten rings with one arrow.]
The artists watching the scene were still in disbelief.
They had just been trying for a long time, but no matter how hard they pulled the bow, the arrow was out of control and flew everywhere, and they couldn't hit the target.
Why is archery so easy for others?
Xu Chongguang was a little surprised.
He and Wu Yuliang were practicing archery on the other side just now. Eight out of ten arrows missed the target, and the two arrows that hit the target were on the outermost side of the target paper.
This girl was able to hit the ten rings with one arrow. She must have practiced. This sports meet is really full of hidden talents.
"Click--" the sound of a camera was heard, and a female artist in a pink sweatshirt captured this scene with stars in her eyes.
Chu Xi lowered his arms and stared at the target paper at the end of the arrow path.
In official competitions, the minimum distance of indoor archery range is 18 meters, and 60cm full-ring target paper is generally used, with the central ten rings only 6cm in size.
Taking into consideration that the artist guests are still at the beginner stage, the program team only arranged a ten-meter archery range, and the target paper used is twice as large as the general one, so the probability of hitting the ten rings will naturally increase.
So with that arrow just now, she just took advantage.
If it were a real competition standard, she wouldn't be able to hit the ten rings.
"That's great. You hit the ten rings with one arrow. Two more arrows?" Chen Jiudong became even more curious about Chu Xi.
He had just been observing Chu Xi's archery movements, which were very standard, and he could feel that Chu Xi's mentality was very stable, so he could easily hit the ten rings.
But hitting ten rings with one arrow doesn't prove anything. He wants to know if Chu Xi can hold on.
"No need." Chu Xi pursed her lips and put away her recurve bow. "My posture and archery movements are still far from perfect. This requires time to practice. Otherwise, it will be meaningless no matter how many times I shoot."
She just wanted to test her current level, and there was no need to continue to persist in it since her goal had been achieved.
Wu Yuliang, who was standing next to him, couldn't bear to listen any longer and asked in confusion, "No, is this still bad? What's wrong with it?"
Xu Chongguang cooperated with a dry laugh.
Chen Jiudong looked at Chu Xi in surprise: "You are so strict with yourself, are you planning to develop into a professional athlete?"
"There are only two and a half years left until the Olympics. It's definitely too late to start learning archery now." Chu Xi raised his eyes and analyzed seriously, "It's better to just treat it as a hobby."
Behind every athlete who can stand on the Olympic stage are years of training and persistence.
Chu Xi would not be so frivolous as to think that he would be qualified to compete in the Olympics after only two years of archery training.
Chen Jiudong was stunned for a moment.
This girl is actually considering participating in the Olympics?
The other artists around also looked at Chu Xi in dumbfounded expression, as if they had seen an alien.
Judging from Chu Xi's tone, if there is still time, is she really going to prepare to participate in the Olympics?
[This person...did the company give her a script to be a straightforward person?]
I was a bit of a fan of her just now, but now I'm a bit disappointed. The Olympics are an international event, and she's so bold.
I just checked, and it seems Chu Xi has participated in quite a few variety shows and filmings before, but unfortunately, all of them have been canceled. Could it be that her company is trying to create a negative image for her because she's not popular enough?
[It's possible. Otherwise, how foolish would an artist be to publicly discuss participating in the Olympics? This is clearly attracting negative attention.]
…
"Chu Xi, you were so handsome just now. I took a picture of you. Look." A delicate girl with black curly hair suddenly came over enthusiastically.
Chu Xi hesitated for a moment, his eyes falling on Qi Xiayan's phone screen.
It's a side shot of her just drawing the bow and shooting an arrow. It really looks very cool.
"Thank you. Could you please send me the photo?" Chu Xi turned to look at Qi Xiayan.
Qi Xiayan's eyes, wearing colored contact lenses, instantly lit up. "Okay, come on, let's add WeChat. My name is Qi Xiayan, just mark me as Xiayan."
After adding WeChat, Chu Xi soon received photos sent by Qi Xiayan.
She lowered her eyes and stared at the photo. She had never realized before that she was quite good at archery.
"Speaking of which." Qi Xiayan nudged Chu Xi with her elbow, "I saw you so serious just now, I thought you were a serious person."
Chu Xi put away his phone and looked up at her, "Am I serious?"
"When you shot the ten-ring with an arrow just now and said you were far from it, I thought you were quite serious." Qi Xiayan said the truth.
Chu Xi pondered for a moment, "It's okay, after all, I still have a lot to learn."
"But." Chu Xi finally realized something was wrong. She asked curiously, "Did we know each other before?"
She seemed to have the impression that this was the first time she met this girl, but she looked like she was very familiar with her.
Qi Xiayan said as a matter of course: "I don't know him."
"But you seem to be very familiar with me." Chu Xi was even more puzzled.
Qi Xiayan smiled and took Chu Xi's arm, "Now we know each other. By the way, do you want to go to the bathroom? I happen to want to go too, so let's go together."
[Woo woo woo, my darling Xia Yan finally has a shot! ]
[I searched through every project's livestream room for a long time but couldn't find Xia Yan. Turns out she's here!]
Qi Xiayan is really the same as always, always friendly and friendly to everyone she meets, never showing any social anxiety, hahahahaha.
Qi Xiayan has always been known as the "little sun" of the domestic entertainment industry, mainly because she has a very sociable personality. She can talk to everyone she meets and make friends in just a few minutes.
She has very few representative works in film and television, and her fans are mostly accumulated through variety shows. However, her fans have always been famous for their die-hard loyalty and strong fighting power.
…
Chu Xi waited outside the bathroom for Qi Xiayan to touch up her makeup.
Qi Xiayan powdered her face and said, "Chu Xi, I have to go to the gymnastics training this afternoon. If you find archery boring, you can come over there and play with me."
Chu Xi raised her eyes and asked, "You signed up for gymnastics and archery?"
"Well, originally I just wanted to sign up for gymnastics, but I heard that archery looks cool in photos, you know." Qi Xiayan admitted very frankly that she just wanted to look cool in photos.
Chu Xi reminded: "Neither of these two trainings is easy, you will probably be very tired."
"It's okay, I can do it." Qi Xiayan put away her makeup tools, turned around and walked over, continuing to hold Chu Xi's arm, "Let's go."
After the ten-minute break, Chen Jiudong began to call everyone to gather.
"Coach Song, that female student who hit the ten rings with one arrow is really interesting." Chen Jiudong said with a smile.
Song Anshan put his hands behind his back and followed Chen Jiudong into the archery area.
At this time, Chu Xi and others had already gathered.
Song Anshan glanced at the artists and said, "I heard that you have someone who shot the tenth ring with one arrow? Come on, stand out so I can meet him."
Everyone's eyes fell on Chu Xi.
Chu Xi was stunned for a moment, then took a step forward and said, "It's me."
She didn't think that hitting only a ten-ring shot was anything to be proud of, and her expression showed both confusion and embarrassment.
Song Anshan looked at Chu Xi curiously, a smile on his face, "Are you interested in accepting my archery challenge?"
Just now, Chen Jiudong ran to him excitedly, as if he had discovered a talented archer, which also piqued Song Anshan's interest.
However, hitting the target with one arrow was not enough to make Song Anshan take Chu Xi seriously. He planned to test Chu Xi's true strength again.
Chu Xi raised her head and said, "Okay."
He didn't ask what the challenge was, but simply accepted it. His decisive and decisive attitude had the aura of a professional athlete.
Song Anshan's eyes showed a bit more interest, and he gestured to the staff, "Come, add obstacle rings in front of the target."
The on-site staff cooperated very well and helped prepare the rings and quickly added obstacles in front of the target.
A fifteen-centimeter-diameter ring hangs suspended in front of the bull's eye. With a gentle push, it begins to swing from side to side, sweeping across the entire target with each swing.
Adding such an obstacle will not only affect the line of sight, but also interfere with the shooter's mentality.
Because if you accidentally hit the ring, the arrow will basically miss the target.
The more the shooter wants to ignore the ring, the more his mentality will fluctuate.
Song Anshan looked at Chu Xi, "Are you ready?"
Chu Xi pursed her lips, her eyes fixed on the ring that had already begun to swing, "Ready."
Obstacle training is also a common practice method used by shooting athletes.
For Chu Xi, this is not a challenge at all, but her daily routine.
The program crew's camera quickly focused and zoomed in, and the close-up shot was full of Chu Xi wearing a white sportswear.
[The arrow just now had her in the 10th ring, and with the obstacles this time, her true form will definitely be exposed.]
[What if someone hits the ten ring again? ]
"That's impossible. The ring is only 15 centimeters in diameter. From a distance of 10 meters, it looks like a fist-sized ring from the shooting position. An average amateur shooter would never be able to accurately shoot through the ring and hit the bull's eye."
Xu Chongguang and Wu Yuliang stood in the viewing area, staring at Chu Xi's back with curious eyes.
But Qi Xiayan was completely different from what everyone expected.
After learning that Chu Xi was going to start archery, she quickly turned on the camera on her mobile phone, selected the best shooting angle around, then squatted down and began to concentrate on taking beautiful photos of Chu Xi.
Chu Xi stood at the starting point of the archery range, his eyes fixed on the bull's eye in front of him.
Hold the bow and pull the string.
As the bowstring was gradually stretched to its full length, Chu Xi slightly retracted his chin, kept his breathing steady, tensed all the muscles in his body, and kept his head and gaze still.
The rings in front of the bull's eye were still swinging, but as Chu Xi's breathing calmed down, the swinging speed of the rings seemed to slow down, like a slow-motion clip in a movie.
When the rings were about to intersect with the bull's eye, Chu Xi decisively released the bowstring.
The arrow instantly cut through the air, headed straight for the bull's eye, and hit the target accurately within the ten rings.
"Ten rings! Ten rings again!" Wu Yuliang exclaimed immediately.
This time, even Song Anshan's expression changed slightly. He narrowed his eyes and carefully studied Chu Xi's demeanor.
If any other artist could hit the ten rings under such conditions, they would have cheered a long time ago.
But after Chu Xi finished archery, he just quietly put away the bow, with no joy or sadness on his face.
