Chapter 19 Chapter 19
Outside the Wandaoshan Sports Center, a black nanny car slowly drove into the parking lot.
The car door opened and Xu Qianqian, wearing a black mask and a baseball cap, walked out.
An assistant came down from the other side with a parasol, shielding Xu Qianqian from the sun just in time. "Sister, fans heard you'll be presenting awards at the finals today, and they're all really looking forward to it. It seems some fans have even organized a team to come to the scene to cheer you on."
Xu Qianqian raised the corner of her mouth in satisfaction. "These fans are really making a fuss out of nothing. I'm just here to present an award."
The assistant smiled and flattered him, "It's mainly because you're so busy right now. It's hard for fans to see you, and they definitely don't want to miss it."
Xu Qianqian's expression became proud again.
…
At this time, in the stadium, Chu Xi was still seizing the last moment to practice.
Now she practices for more than just winning.
Through repeated training and ejaculation, she gradually came to like the exciting and tense feeling.
Every time an arrow flew out of her hand, her body would begin to anticipate where it would land.
The thrill that makes people intoxicated, like shooting, is full of unknown charm.
"Hey, isn't this the archery genius we're all praising online?" Xu Qianqian's sarcastic voice came from behind.
Chu Xi frowned slightly and looked behind him.
Xu Qianqian was wearing a Chanel-style knitted jacket, each strand of her hair was meticulously groomed, and she had an expression of watching the fun.
"Is there something?" Chu Xi didn't like being disturbed by outsiders during training, so his tone became cold.
Xu Qianqian acted as if she didn't notice and continued to show off with a sense of superiority:
"I came to say hello. I've already finished filming the drama 'Hot Blood Glory.' If you were looking for another opportunity to replace me, it's probably impossible. Besides, the director of this drama is very pleased with me and even recommended me for a role in a theatrical film. You know, movies and TV dramas are completely different. The distance between us will only grow further and further from now on."
Xu Qianqian said a lot of things in a very eloquent manner.
These are all things Chu Xi doesn't care about.
Chu Xi frowned even more tightly, "If there is nothing else, please leave, I still have training to do."
The smug smile on Xu Qianqian's face gradually disappeared, and her expression became a little stiff.
"Chu Xi, what do you mean? I rarely take the time to see you, and you're just kicking me out like that? We're from the same company, right? Look at how impatient you are. Can't you see the situation? I have more resources than you right now, and when "Hot Blood Glory" airs, my popularity and status will be higher than yours!"
Ever since she joined the company, she has regarded Chu Xi as her biggest competitor. No matter what, she has to be better than Chu Xi in order to be satisfied.
But now, Chu Xi doesn't care about these at all.
Wouldn’t all her efforts during this period be in vain?
The quarrel between the two attracted the attention of the staff nearby, who hurried over to ask, "What's wrong with you two?"
Xu Qianqian raised her hand to interrupt the staff member and said coldly: "This is a private matter between the two of us, we can solve it ourselves."
Chu Xi really didn't have time to waste with her, so he turned to the staff and said, "I still have to practice. Please help me get this lady out and don't let her disturb me again."
Xu Qianqian: “?”
Her anger rose, and just as she was about to lose her temper, her assistant came over in time and pulled the person away.
"Sister, pay attention to your image." The assistant whispered frantically.
Xu Qianqian's face turned dark, so she didn't curse out loud on the spot.
After the assistant pulled Xu Qianqian into the exclusive lounge, Xu Qianqian exploded:
"Is Chu Xi sick?! It's obvious that I have better resources than her now, so what's her attitude towards me? Practice, practice, practice, what's the point of practicing! She really wants to be an athlete! I'm speechless."
The assistant quickly comforted her: "Yes, sister is right."
As she spoke, the assistant took out an ice pack from her backpack and handed it to Xu Qianqian, "Sister, apply some ice to cool down the fire."
Xu Qianqian leaned on the sofa with a cold face and took the ice pack and applied it to her forehead.
After finally quieting down for a while, Xu Qianqian suddenly opened her eyes again, slammed the sofa handle, and said angrily, "If I had known earlier, I should have participated in the All-Star Games. If I had surpassed her in archery, she wouldn't be so rude now!"
The ice pack that was originally applied to the forehead fell to the ground with a "bang".
assistant:"……"
…
Another hour passed and the live broadcast rooms of the programs were opened one after another.
Thousands of netizens flocked in.
When will the archery event start? I came here just to watch it.
The other events are really boring, just a bunch of noobs fighting each other. It's better to watch the Asian Games and the National Games.
[Oh, the archery event wasn't really that interesting. Chu Xi's qualifying results were way ahead of He Yutong's. She's definitely going to win the championship. A competition where you know the outcome in advance is boring.]
[In archery, only He Yutong could compete with Chu Xi, but He Yutong's mentality is clearly lacking, and her performance is unstable, so her chances of beating Chu Xi are slim.]
The gymnastics competition was quite enjoyable to watch. Two of the artists had studied dance, and their movements were quite standard. It was worth watching.
Let's go watch gymnastics then. I wonder who will win the championship. It might be a little more exciting.
The netizens who posted the barrage are all old fans of the show. They started watching it before the qualifying round and are naturally very clear about Chu Xi's strength in the archery event.
In their minds, it was almost a foregone conclusion that Chu Xi would win the championship.
For things that are already very clear, people naturally won't have such a strong urge to follow them.
At this time, He Yutong also arrived at the scene.
She walked quickly into the training ground with her recurve bow, looking hurried as she prepared to practice the last wave.
Compared to before, her mentality is now much calmer.
The main reason is that after being crushed by Chu Xi repeatedly during this period of time, she has realized the gap between herself and Chu Xi.
Her obsession with defeating Chu Xi also faded a lot.
The motivation to work harder now comes from the fact that we cannot lose too badly in the finals.
After a while, the program team began to let the audience who had grabbed tickets for the finals into the venue.
"Mr. Wang, this way, we are in row 18." Hu Yanming raised his hand and pointed to the left, signaling Wang Yang.
Wang Yang was dressed in a sleek black suit. He raised his hand to open his coat, straightened his waist, put on a professional demeanor, and walked over. "Yes."
After the two found a seat and sat down, Hu Yanming quietly turned his head to the side and rolled his eyes speechlessly.
Generally, for such events, the production team will reserve a portion of tickets as a gift to the artist's relatives and friends.
His ticket was given by the program team.
But unexpectedly, the program team also gave Wang Yang a ticket.
When they met by chance when entering the venue just now, Hu Yanming wanted to say hello and leave, but Wang Yang came up to him very enthusiastically and compared his seat number with him. What was even more coincidental for this pair was that they were sitting next to each other.
He guessed that the production team must have given them both tickets in a row, so the seat numbers were not separated.
"Xiao Hu, I heard that Chu Xi is good at archery. She must be the champion of the archery event today." Wang Yang's fat body squeezed into the narrow seat, with his hands wide open, resting on the handles on both sides.
"Sister Xi is indeed very good at archery, but everything is still unknown, so we can't be too sure." Hu Yanming spoke cautiously.
Wang Yang smiled and waved his hand, "Don't be so modest. I've seen Chu Xi's archery video. Although I don't know archery, I can see Chu Xi's talent. This championship will definitely be hers!"
Hu Yanming said nothing more.
Of course he also hopes that Sister Xi will win.
But compared to these, he felt more sorry for what Sister Xi had put in during this period of time.
As an agent, he knows Chu Xi's daily life better than other netizens.
During this period, Sister Xi was like a robot with set instructions. Except for eating and going to the toilet, she was training in all her free time.
The sight of that determined figure standing on the training ground made him feel distressed and ashamed of himself.
…
The host Zhou Yumei, who was in charge of the commentary, walked into the backstage in a low-key manner.
The director handed the commentary script to Zhou Yumei. "The information on this page contains the current top contenders for the championship in all events. Just familiarize yourself with it in advance."
Zhou Yumei took a quick look and her eyes fell on Chu Xi's name in the archery event.
The last time she was in charge of explaining the archery event, she was impressed by Chu Xi.
This girl's psychological quality and ability are obviously far superior to other contestants.
If nothing unexpected happens this time, she will probably be the archery champion.
After reading through the players' information, Zhou Yumei sat down at the commentary desk, put on her headset, and adjusted the microphone volume.
"Hello everyone, I'm Zhou Yumei, the commentator for this match. The Super Star Games finals will be held over three days. Today's finals are for the 10-meter indoor archery, the 100-meter short track sprint, and the 100-meter freestyle..."
【It’s started! 】
I've already bought some fried chicken and some iced cola, ready to watch the game! Looking forward to it!
[I'm still working, so I went to the bathroom to watch Sister Xi compete! Archery should be the first event, right?]
[Archery is the first competition. With Sister Xi's speed, she could probably finish it in half an hour.]
Zhou Yumei's gaze fell on the live broadcast screen. "We can see that the archery athletes have already started warming up in the training area. According to the event schedule, the women's 10-meter indoor archery final will officially begin in fifteen minutes. Everyone, please stay tuned."
Archery training area.
Shi Lei, the referee, began to call out names, "Chu Xi, He Yutong..."
A total of six people advanced from the women's group, and today's women's archery champion will be born from these six people.
Time passed second by second. After the six contestants finished their warm-up exercises, they were led by Shi Lei into the shooting finals.
There are six archery positions in total, from one to six.
Chu Xi advanced with the first place and was assigned to position number one.
Behind her is He Yutong in second place. The rest of the rankings will be postponed in order.
[Let's take a look at Chu Xi's first ten arrows. He's already secured first place. Now I can get back to writing my paper.]
[Hahahaha, me too. The anime I'm following is about to air. Now that I have nothing to do here, I'll go catch up.]
[Hey, gymnastics is tomorrow, and the other events aren't anything interesting to watch, so let's just do some archery first.]
The tone of the comments was very relaxed, without any tension of the finals, and netizens were even chatting about gossip.
In short, no one was worried that Chu Xi would lose.
"Dear viewers in the live broadcast room, good morning. I am Zhou Yumei, the commentator for this event. Now, the women's 10-meter indoor archery final is about to begin." Zhou Yumei's commentary sounded in the live broadcast room.
At the same time, Shi Lei, the referee, began to read out the rules of the final.
He Yutong and others were obviously a little nervous at this moment.
Chu Xi lowered his eyes, his face calm, without a trace of emotion.
"In the first round, there are ten arrows in total. Competitors are required to complete their shots within seven minutes. The total number of rings will be calculated for ranking."
"All contestants may begin shooting." Referee Shi Lei announced silently, then stepped aside and began to wait quietly.
Chu Xi picked up the recurve bow on the table, slowly raised his eyes, and looked ahead at the bull's eye.
She lowered her head, closed her eyes slightly, adjusted her breathing, raised her bow and pointed it at the target in front of her. After aiming for a few seconds, she shot decisively.
The arrow flew past quickly and landed on the bull's eye.
Ten rings.
"Congratulations! Chu Xi once again performed at the level of the qualifying round, shooting a perfect ten rings."
Zhou Yumei commented simultaneously, "And her strongest competitor, He Yutong, just now also shot a ten-ring score. The two of them are really chasing each other."
[The game seemed tense, but I wasn't nervous at all. I knew He Yutong was about to make a mistake.]
[Alas, He Yutong is still too nervous. Look at her hands, they're already stiff. She's definitely going to miss the next arrow.]
【Chu Xi is still the most stable one.】
As the audience expected, He Yutong made a mistake with her second arrow due to nervousness and only hit the eighth ring.
There was a flash of annoyance in her eyes, probably because she was angry at herself for making another mistake.
Chu Xi on the other side held his breath, raised his bow again, and the world became quiet at this moment. Then he took aim and shot.
Another ten rings.
"Chu Xi's second arrow hit the ten ring again!" Zhou Yumei's face showed a look of as expected. "Very stable performance. Now, let's take a look at the performance of the other contestants."
Chu Xi and He Yutong's performance is relatively stable, and it is estimated that there will not be any major fluctuations.
The program crew's camera then turned to other contestants.
Compared to the wonderful archery performance of Chu Xi and the other contestant, the archery level of the other contestant has plummeted. The previous arrow was a nine-ring shot, but the next arrow dropped to a five-ring shot. The results were so unstable that it made people's heart stop.
[Ahahahahahahaha, don't tell me, I think the contestants here are much more interesting. At least I can nervously guess who will get third place.]
I'm betting on contestant number six. She ranked sixth in the qualifying round. Since she's already in last place, she might as well try to rebound.
While Zhou Yumei and the audience's attention were diverted to the other side, Chu Xi was still shooting arrows with great concentration.
Time passes by minute by minute...
Chu Xi continued to maintain an extremely high level, skillfully shooting arrow after arrow.
The eighth arrow, ten rings.
The ninth arrow still hits the ten rings.
Nine arrows in a row hit the ten rings, and the audience at the scene and in the live broadcast room began to get excited.
Zhou Yumei's spirits brightened slightly. "Chu Xi has already shot nine arrows in a row with ten rings. This is an amazing achievement. Let's look forward to her tenth arrow."
[Nine arrows, ten rings, am I about to witness history?]
[I remember Chu Xi scored eight arrows and ten rings in the qualifying round. She's actually improved again this time! Awesome.]
[One last arrow! I can't breathe anymore.]
Chu Xi exhaled lightly, slowly lowered his head and closed his eyes, and began to adjust his state.
There is only one arrow left.
In a real competition, shooting athletes cannot afford to make serious mistakes.
Even just 0.1 ring can make a world of difference.
At this moment, the scene of her shooting mistake during training suddenly flashed through her mind.
Chu Xi frowned slightly, and his emotions clearly fluctuated slightly.
At this moment, the close-up shot just turned back to Chu Xi.
Netizen fans noticed Chu Xi's abnormality and were immediately surprised.
[Eh? Chu Xi seemed nervous just now? She actually gets nervous too!]
[It's normal, right? After all, this is the finals, and she's not a robot. How could she really not have any emotions at all?]
[It's okay, she's different from ordinary people! The tension is only temporary, she'll adjust immediately.]
Chu Xi took a long time to calm down before looking up again.
She adjusted her breathing rhythm, raised her hand, raised the bow and aimed at the bull's eye, without any hesitation, blocking out all pressure.
This was her first competition since coming into this world.
The coach said: No matter what kind of competition venue you are in, the original intention of shooting is only one - to hit the target.
After adjusting his mentality, Chu Xi opened his eyes again, and his gaze became more determined than ever before.
She decisively picked up the arrow at hand, put it on the bowstring, slowly lifted it up, drew the bow and aimed.
Under the light, Chu Xi's eyes were cold and his slender hands pulled the bowstring to its full extent.
The next second, the arrow shot out like lightning and hit the ten-ring area accurately.
"Beautiful! Another ten rings. In the ten-arrow shooting segment of the first round, Chu Xi broke the record of the three-season program and achieved a perfect score of 100 rings!" Zhou Yumei explained excitedly.
She has been commentating for decades, but it is rare for her to see a full ring result, so it is inevitable that she will be very excited.
Of course, she also knew that this was because the program team's archery rules were easier, and Chu Xi's strength was too high, which caused this contrast.
But Zhou Yumei was still excited.
[Awesome! Sister Xi is so steady. Just now, when I saw her nervous, I was sweating, thinking she was going to make a mistake.]
[Hahahahahahahaha, a celebrity sports event actually got me excited!]
"Actually... my archery skills are just average. I can always hit a ten-ring when I practice privately. It's probably because the program set the rules too simply. Anyone with experience in archery would be able to achieve similar results."
"If you can get a perfect ten rings, why don't you go to the Olympics and win glory for your country? It's just a variety show, we just enjoy it, it's not a serious sporting event."
Chu Xi's full-ring score directly caused the barrage of comments to soar.
Some people were dissatisfied and started to find fault, and netizens and fans who were dissatisfied directly responded.
Due to the massive burst of data, the live broadcast room even experienced lag.
The director stared in astonishment at the data that had tripled in size. He quickly stood up and called out, "Hurry! Quickly defend the server! Don't let it crash!"
He expected that the traffic for the finals would be huge, but he didn't expect that the data would explode just at the beginning.
It was really surprising and delightful.
Xu Qianqian, who was watching the live broadcast in the waiting room, was also dumbfounded.
She clenched her teeth, her face dark and ugly, and she felt indignant.
No matter how good you are at archery, it can't make you a living. In the entertainment industry, the most important thing is resources.
Even if a variety show of this level brings Chu Xi a little popularity, it will disappear immediately after the show ends.
Chu Xi's status can never compare to hers!
Thinking of this, Xu Qianqian's expression eased a little.
In the audience, Chu Xi's fans burst into cheers.
Wang Yang puffed out his chest with pride, wishing he could stick the label "Chu Xi is my company's artist" directly on his face.
"Xiao Hu, why didn't you tell me before that Chu Xi was such a great archer? If you had told me earlier, I would have found a way to market this for her, and she wouldn't have been forgotten for so many years."
Hu Yanming rolled his eyes secretly and muttered in his heart: Didn’t you say before that it was useless even though Chu Xi was good at archery?
Now he's showing off again.
But on the surface, Hu Yanming certainly didn't dare to confront him directly: "Our sister Xi is very low-key and doesn't let me say anything outside."
Wang Yang folded his arms in front of him and glanced at him lightly. "Let's forget about the past, but from today on, if Chu Xi has anything, you have to report it to the company immediately. Got it?"
"I understand." Hu Yanming forced a smile and nodded.
The cheers of the fans died down and the stadium returned to silence.
The camera turns to commentator Zhou Yumei.
"Now that the first round of ten arrows has concluded, let's take a look at the overall rankings of the six competitors."
Zhou Yumei stared at the electronic score screen.
The next second, the current total ring rankings of the six players popped up on the screen.
"Without any surprise, Chu Xi ranked first with a perfect score of 100 rings."
"The second place is He Yutong with 92 rings."
"The third-place finisher also did well, scoring 81 rings."
…
Zhou Yumei regained her composure, "Chu Xi and He Yutong laid a solid foundation in the first round. As long as they don't perform poorly in the upcoming elimination rounds, they'll be able to maintain their position. Let's look forward to their subsequent performances."
The game was still going on, and everyone's attention was focused on Chu Xi and He Yutong.
The second round is an elimination round.
Each player takes turns shooting an arrow, and the score of the arrow will be added to his or her current total score. The player ranked last will be eliminated directly.
Every arrow that follows is crucial.
[It's stable, it's stable. If Chu Xi doesn't win the championship again, I'll tear his head off and kick it like a ball!]
[One hundred rings full, who else can compare? ]
[It's mainly because Chu Xi is so calm. Other contestants might get a little nervous when it comes to the elimination rules, but Chu Xi really doesn't have any emotional fluctuations at all.]
[Sisters, please watch for now. I'm going to go eat something. Then we'll go watch Chu Xi crush the championship.]
Chu Xi's performance completely put the audience at ease.
The audience who were a little nervous in the last round simply crossed their legs and started to eat fried chicken leisurely.
Chu Xi can also see the total ring ranking of the current contestants.
Although she was eight rings higher than He Yutong, every subsequent arrow would eliminate a competitor.
She couldn't relax until the game was over.
"After this arrow, the sixth-ranked player will be eliminated. Now, there is only one ring between the fifth and sixth players. This arrow is very crucial." Zhou Yumei's commentary made the atmosphere on the scene tense again.
Because it was an elimination contestant, everyone's attention was focused on the last two contestants.
Both contestants were nervously aiming their bows.
Perhaps because they were too nervous, the two men did not ejaculate for a long time, but remained in that position without moving.
Time passes by second by second.
Finally, the two were ready and released the strings and shot at the same time.
"The fifth-place competitor was probably too nervous and only hit the fourth ring. Meanwhile, the sixth-place competitor hit the ninth ring. With just one arrow, the rankings were instantly reversed. It's truly worthy of being in the finals."
"Let us congratulate Wang Yuexin for finishing sixth in this archery competition," Zhou Yumei announced regretfully.
[Sigh, what a pity! Wang Yuexin is clearly nervous.]
[It's okay, sixth and fifth aren't that far apart. The one currently in fifth place will probably be eliminated in the next round.]
[The main reason is that the first few players have too many rings, making it difficult for those behind to catch up.]
"Okay, let's take a look at the results of the top two players in this arrow." Zhou Yumei turned her attention back to the players' ring score rankings. Her pupils dilated instantly, as if she had seen something incredible.
"It's quite surprising that Chu Xi, who ranked first, only shot seven rings in this round." Zhou Yumei's voice unconsciously became louder.
After seeing Chu Xi's archery results clearly on the electronic screen, the barrage in the live broadcast room paused for a moment.
[What the hell? Chu Xi made a mistake? ?]
[No, what happened just now? I didn't even look at it, how did Chu Xi reach the seventh ring?!]
"Actually, seven rings isn't too bad, but it's a little hard to accept when it happens to Chu Xi. What's wrong with her? Is she nervous about the elimination rules?"
