…
How come the Olympics are coming up so soon? The roster is even out!
[Holy crap! I checked the time, and the last Olympics was actually three years ago.]
After starting work, time has flown by incredibly fast. It feels like I haven't done anything yet, and three years have flown by in the blink of an eye.
[That's right. Every day, I wake up and go to the company. After work, I go home, lie down, eat, watch some videos, and the day is over.]
Sometimes I really envy athletes. They always know what they want and keep working hard for their dreams. I'm just living a life of idleness and waiting to die.
At the same time, national teams for table tennis, volleyball, badminton, diving, swimming, weightlifting and other events have also entered the Olympic preparation period.
The shooting team, which was originally extremely popular, suddenly disappeared and officially began closed training.
In the blink of an eye, three months passed quickly.
The Olympic film "Hot Blood and Glory" which is about to be released has begun to be promoted heavily online.
Because it is a film backed by a state-owned unit, many veteran actors and stars have made guest appearances in the film, and the cast is very strong.
Even before it was released, the film caused a lot of heated discussion as soon as it was promoted.
[Oh my god! This movie is amazing! They invited so many movie stars to make cameo appearances? And they said there's an Easter egg at the end of the movie and a solo interview with Chu Xi.]
[? ? So awesome? I'll definitely go to the cinema to see it.]
[There's actually a movie released specifically to promote the Olympics these days? I have to support it! I'll take my daughter to see it when the time comes.]
Not only that, in addition to special Olympic films, major platforms have also begun to release TV dramas and variety shows related to sports competitions, all celebrating in advance for this upcoming international event.
It’s time to shoot the annual “Super Star Sports Games” again.
In a private room of a famous hotpot restaurant.
The program director and several artists including Wu Yuliang are conducting a live broadcast of the party before filming.
"Yes, yes, we will still participate in this year's Super Star Games, but the official filming of the program may not start until after the Olympics. Everyone can look forward to it." Wu Yuliang stood in front of the camera of his mobile phone and responded to the questions from netizens and fans one by one.
Sitting next to him were Qi Xiayan and Xu Chongguang.
The two of them ate while looking at the barrage of comments on their phone screens.
"I saw someone asking whether Chu Xi will still participate in this season's Super Star Games." After Qi Xiayan finished reading the question, she smiled and looked at the director next to her.
"That's definitely not going to happen. Chu Xi is currently undergoing closed-door training at the national base. He's going to officially participate in the Olympics."
Wu Yuliang nodded in agreement. "Yes, we haven't dared to send messages to Sister Xi during this period. We can't afford the consequences if we accidentally disturb her training."
At this moment, the director interrupted from off-camera: "We're not officially going to start filming this show until after the Olympics. If contestant Chu Xi is free by then, we should try to invite her."
[Holy crap! Really? After the Olympics, Sister Xi might become an Olympic champion. Will the production team still be able to invite her? Hahahahaha.]
[This is so funny! If Sister Xi were to participate in this show again, she would probably only be a mentor.]
[Wow, time flies by so fast. It feels like the last time I chased Chu Xi in a match was just yesterday.]
On that day, the live broadcast data of the pre-broadcast party of "Super Star Sports Games" set a new record.
It can be seen that many netizens are looking forward to this season.
Last season, Chu Xi's highlights in the show were also dug up again by netizens and fans.
National Shooting Training Base.
In the shooting range, Chu Xi stood in front of the shooting position and completed the training of the last shot.
She exhaled lightly, lowered her arm and put away the gun.
"Let's go and have dinner. Coach Song said there will be a meeting later." Lu Wenxuan, who was standing aside, also finished his training and walked over to greet Chu Xi.
Chu Xi put away his gun, turned around and walked out of the training range with Lu Wenxuan.
Soon after dinner, all the athletes in the team gathered for a meeting.
Song Anshan stood at the front with his hands behind his back, his expression serious. "There are still four months until the start of the San Lito Olympics. During this time, I hope everyone will strictly abide by team discipline, reduce contact with the outside world, make final preparations, and go all out for the Olympics."
"I know everyone's mood will be affected by many factors before the Olympics, but don't feel pressured, because your opponents will also face the same impact. Everyone is at the same starting line, so just play with abandon."
"The Olympic shooting schedule has not yet been finalized. Based on past experience, the first gold medal event is likely to be in the women's 10m air rifle, women's 10m air pistol, and mixed team events. Regardless of which event you win, remain calm and treat it like daily training. We have no problem with our skills; it all depends on our mindset."
Song Anshan's words of advice slowly spread in the conference room.
Chu Xi and the others looked at each other twice, then kept their heads down and remained silent.
After the meeting, Chu Xi, Jiang Wannan and others returned to the dormitory together.
"The first gold medal event of the last Olympics was the women's 10-meter air rifle. Generally speaking, the event will definitely be changed this time. Either air pistol or mixed team." An Hongran analyzed silently.
Lu Wenxuan put his hands on his hips and walked forward behind the others. "It's okay. Coach Song said, just keep a normal mindset and treat it like a daily training session."
Lu Meng sighed softly: "Just saying that, it can really be regarded as daily training."
At present, China has won the first gold medal in two consecutive Olympic Games.
Everyone is looking forward to the scene of winning three consecutive gold medals.
If this record were broken here, they would be scolded to death.
The people around were all worried.
Chu Xi put his hands in the pockets of his sportswear, walked forward step by step, and remained silent.
She lowered her head, watching the light from the street lamp shining on the ground, with a hint of determination hidden in the depths of her eyes.
…
With only one month left until the Olympics, the Olympic atmosphere online is becoming increasingly strong.
Almost all major platforms are warming up for the Olympics in advance.
Even various short videos have begun to push a large number of competition video highlights of various events in previous Olympic Games.
The enthusiasm for the nationwide movement continues to ferment.
#《Hot Blood Glory》released#, #Movie Easter Egg surprisingly appears shooting athlete Chu Xi#
"Hot Blood Glory", one of the most anticipated films in recent years, was released ahead of schedule before the Olympics.
On that day, many guest-starring artists reposted the Weibo post to promote the event.
Some people even went to the movie premiere in person to express their support.
For a while, the entire Internet was dominated by "Hot Blood Glory".
On the first day of its premiere, the box office exceeded 80 million.
This is not a commercial film that is widely popular with the public, and the subject matter is relatively unpopular sports competition.
For a film of this type, getting such box office revenue on the first day is already an outstanding achievement.
Among them, a considerable number of viewers came for Chu Xi's Easter egg.
In the dark movie theater, the four story units of "Hot Blood Glory" ended one after another, and the film ushered in the final easter egg.
Chu Xi's fair face appeared on the big screen.
"Hello everyone, I am Chu Xi, an athlete from the Kyoto Provincial Shooting Team."
Director Ma Yudong: "When I was collecting materials about shooting athletes in the early stages, I often saw that many athletes didn't even have the opportunity to compete. In other words, for those athletes who didn't qualify, all their years of hard work were wasted. So, when you first decided to embark on the path of an athlete, did you have any hesitation or wavering in your heart?"
Chu Xi pondered for a moment before speaking: "Of course I hesitated. I also worried about what to do if I couldn't achieve results. I think this is all normal. Life is so long, it's impossible to be so sure when making every decision."
Ma Yudong: "Then what convinced you to continue on this path?"
Chu Xi: "Before I learned shooting, my life was quite confusing. I didn't know what I wanted to do in the future. But after I decided to start shooting, my life suddenly had purpose and meaning. So, shooting actually brought me a new life."
Ma Yudong smiled slightly. "So shooting has become the most important part of your life now?"
"You can say that." Chu Xi nodded.
Ma Yudong: "Okay, then finally, do you have anything you want to say to the audience?"
Chu Xi, in the camera, pondered for a long time before looking up. "I've seen many netizens online say that they particularly admire the athletes' tenacious belief. What I want to say to everyone is that every one of us athletes has experienced moments of despair. Despair is not to be feared, because life is long. Problems that you think are unsolvable now may be nothing in five years."
“I hope everyone who works hard can have a bright future.”
The film's final Easter egg ended and the big screen slowly dimmed.
The entire theater fell into silence.
The next second, the big screen lit up again, and the images that appeared on it were the wonderful scenes of Chinese athletes winning countless championships.
Every smile on an athlete's face is accompanied by countless drops of sweat.
They raised their hands high, cheered and released their charm on the field, becoming the most beautiful scenery in the Olympics.
After the movie ended, the online reputation of "Hot Blood Glory" began to rise.
I really recommend watching "Hot Blood Glory" for anyone who hasn't seen it yet! The film truly captures the experiences of athletes in every sport with incredible realism. I was also deeply moved by the Easter egg at the end of the film, and the interview with Chu Xi.
If you've been feeling tired lately, go watch "Hot Blood Glory," and maybe it'll rekindle your passion for life.
The athletes' spirit of never giving up is always worth learning from. From today on, I really need to live a good life.
Later, the official Weibo account of the movie also directly posted the full version of Chu Xi's interview video online.
Many people were attracted by the interview and went into the cinema to start learning about the athletes' daily lives.
At this time, all members of the Chinese shooting team had quietly rushed to the airport, preparing to depart for San Lisboa to prepare for the Olympics.
