"I am a member of the 400m sprint team of the national track and field team, Qiu Wen. My current personal best is 45.40 seconds. My career goal is to break the Asian record!"
"I am Li Junhao..."
"I am Guo Dun..."
"I am Chen Yadan..."
"I am Lin Huan..."
"I am Lin Yao..."
…
Each individual promotional photo is followed by a VCR. The contents of these VCRs are similar. The only difference is the current best performance data of each player and their career goal data.
Since the official announcement of the variety show "Track and Field Idol Training Camp", this variety show has attracted the attention of countless people. The release of this individual photo and vcr today naturally attracted countless volunteers to be the spectators and various sports enthusiasts in the sports circle.
Because of the "pick me" declaration in the official trailer, some sports fans were worried whether this variety show would end up like those other weird talent shows or reality shows. But after the official promotional photos were released, looking at the upright and determined eyes of the contestants in the photos and vcrs, the attention of these viewers who originally had a little worry in their hearts was quickly diverted to the content of the video.
Not only the VCR, but also an 'identity card' is attached to each player's photo, which clearly and accurately records each player's latest individual data, and of course, their respective 'career goals'.
In addition to the individual VCRs for each contestant, there is also an official trailer for "Athletics Idol Training Camp" featuring all the contestants.
Unlike other variety show trailers which are only 20 to 30 seconds long, this is a trailer with the nature of a micro-documentary.
As a die-hard supporter of the 400-meter event, Huang Yiluan has been following this program since the official announcement of the variety show. Today, after the official promotional video officially started broadcasting, he immediately followed the official Weibo of "Track and Field Idol Training Camp". Then, with a hint of nervousness and anticipation, he clicked on the trailer directly named "Growth" by the official Weibo.
The trailer goes from black to light, and behind the shining lights and the empty indoor training ground is a dark area that is deliberately forgotten by the lights.
In the middle of the training ground, there stood a simple data panel with three lines of data, which read:
400m sprint, world record, 43.08 seconds;
400m sprint, Asian record, 43.96 seconds;
400m sprint, Chinese record, 45.24 seconds;
When these three lines of shocking data came into everyone's eyes, a line of large characters heavily typed out on the screen: This is the distance between us and the world.
Next, footsteps suddenly appeared in the originally silent space, and the athletes of the 400-meter event appeared one after another. They came to their respective training equipment and began their respective training processes.
From the starting posture, to strength training, balance training, rhythm training, endurance training... everyone performs their movements seriously without any distraction.
The camera began to switch quickly between the players, and each time it switched, it also gave information about the player frozen in the picture.
Zhang Ziyi, who started training for the 400m sprint at the age of 13, is the No. 1 Chinese male 400m sprinter and the 400m sprint national record holder. Before the 2018 Asian Games, his personal best was 45.57 seconds, a record that has not been broken for more than a year.
Qiu Wen, who started training for both 100m and 200m at the age of 12, is the most promising future star in the Chinese men's 400m sprint. As of March 2018, his personal best in 400m: none;
Li Junhao, who started training for the 400-meter sprint at the age of 13, was once known as a talented Chinese male 400-meter sprinter. However, before the 2018 Asian Games, he had been in a slump for more than a year, with his results consistently staying below 47 seconds...
…………
…
As these shots flashed and cut quickly, the data of all the players also began to turn pages quickly!
From 45.57 to 45.24;
From 47.47 to 45.40;
From 46.33 seconds...
Strings of data flashed across the screen, and at the same time, there were pictures of the players sweating all over their cheeks and soaking their training suits during training. In every picture, one could see the thriving muscle strength revealed from their bodies...
The birth of these forces also stems from their continuous self-improvement and hard work.
The scene when they sprint forward on the track on the training ground, finally cross the finish line, look back at the data on the timer, and raise their hands high in celebration;
When they were on the training field, facing the bends, studying the competition techniques and rhythm of each stage...
In each of these scenes, there is a calm and trustworthy figure.
When the camera finally turned to the front of the figure, what appeared was Su Bai's face, which looked too young but gave the contestants enough reliability and security.
As long as Su Bai exists, they can still move forward and grow rapidly!
As long as Su Bai says they can, they don’t need to be afraid of the future, they still have ample room for growth!
Su Bai is the real core of this rapidly growing powerful army.
"It was he who helped us overcome the cowardice we once had."
"It was he who helped us break the inferiority complex we once had in our hearts,"
"It is because of him that we can grow step by step and take solid steps forward."
"Someone once said that China's 400-meter sprint is not good enough... We don't have the talent to beat those white and black people. Our training level is not good and we are decades behind the world's top level. We..."
"But now we want to say, we can do it!"
This is the track and field idol training camp.
They are idols in the world of track and field. Maybe they are still not strong enough now, but they are growing and challenging China's unprecedented 400-meter performance...
This is their profession and responsibility, and it is also the unshakable future and dream in their hearts!
Let us go into their world together.
Track and field idol, who is your one pick?
When all the scenes were finished, Huang Yiluan finally woke up from his dream in a daze.
This trailer gives a lot of data, including the average results of the finalists in the national top 400-meter sprint events before and in 2018, including a comparison of Zhang Ziyi's average results in the competitions before and after receiving Su Bai's training.
Of course, it's not just Zhang Ziyi. Every player has been listed with such a set of data. From the naked changes in the data, we can see that each player is in a completely different state than in the past.
From individual athletes to nationwide leaps in 400m performance.
All the leaps and growth in between originated from that miracle named Su Bai.
As a die-hard fan of the 400-meter event, Huang Yiluan of course watched Su Bai appear step by step. He also remembered that when Su Bai first appeared, he was boycotted by many people.
From 2018 to 2019, Huang Yiluan certainly knew how much progress the 400-meter event had made.
Before last year, track and field enthusiasts often watched the 400-meter event with a feeling of disappointment. But starting from one day, the 400-meter event suddenly brought people vitality and anticipation that had not been there in the past.
The emergence of new talented players;
The S province track and field team dominated the top three in the National Track and Field Grand Prix;
Qiu Wen's rapid improvement was almost one pb per shot;
An unprecedented number of medals were won at the Asian Games...
Then there was the breaking of the national record that had been dormant for 15 years.
It was not until he suddenly started looking back now that Huang Yiluan realized how much fun the 400-meter event had brought him in less than a year, something he had never experienced before.
As fans of the 400m event, Huang Yiluan and his friends all knew that the 400m event had made tremendous improvements. However, after seeing such clear and definite data in front of them, they realized how much the improvement was.
After staying for a while, Huang Yiluan first directly forwarded the trailer titled "Growth" released by the program team, and then directly @ed the sprint enthusiasts he knew on Weibo.
【Come and see!】 ! I will definitely follow this variety show! ! ! No regrets! ! ! 】
After he posted this Weibo, he suddenly saw many new @ tips in the information prompt column of his Weibo. He clicked on them and found that all the @ tips on him were uniformly linked to the trailer of the variety show "Growing Up".
[Old Huang!] ! I plan to go back and watch this, a 400 meter hardcore guy like you can’t miss this video and preview! 】
[The trailer of "Growing Up" is awesome. It made my eyes hot just now. This production team has some skills. They are not just making up stories. They are making the show seriously. @老黄, remember to take it and watch it! 】
[“Athletics Idol Training Camp”, at first I thought this name was a joke, but after watching the trailer, I suddenly felt that it should be called this. 】
…
The @s were all sports enthusiasts that Huang Yiluan knew more or less. At this point, it could be said that most people in the circle had been shocked by the variety show trailer. Almost everyone had seen it and was impressed by it.
In the forum of Track and Field Kingdom, someone simply made a complete screenshot of the trailer, put all the data mentioned in the screenshot into a separate post, and listed them one by one in text.
Not only that, they also did corresponding research on the data of Fang Yu, Cui Luoheng, Lu Mengfan, Zhao Yankai and Wang Shen according to the format of the program team, and then put them in a centralized post on the forum.
When all the data was ready, there was a brief silence in the entire post.
You know, just less than ten days ago, because of the Asian Six Nations Athletics Joint Competition, Su Bai's title of "new generation famous coach" was just hyped by the media. Because of this hype, some sports fans or simple passers-by had a slight aversion to this hype model.
It’s not that they don’t recognize Su Bai’s ability, they just think that the media hype is a bit too exaggerated. The coach is very important, but can a coach really play such a big role?
They believe that the media's hype has over-deified Su Bai's role, and at the same time listed many more famous coaches in the country who have been famous for many years, believing that low-key and ordinary coaches like him are the real famous coaches.
It was not until the forum had sorted out this long list of solid data that these track and field fans calmed down and reviewed the data again, then they took a deep breath again.
Subject: [Question: Is a coach who has achieved such results worthy of being called a miracle or a famous coach? 】
This time, the track and field enthusiasts in the track and field kingdom knew that the poster was probably a "Su fan", but they still clicked on the post obediently, and then picked an expression of prostration from the emoticon package of the forum to express their admiration for Su Bai's "performance data".
This is the case in a gathering place for track and field enthusiasts like Track and Field Kingdom. Those ordinary passers-by on the Internet who only saw the media hype and did not pay full attention to Su Bai's data were even more surprised.
Of course, they were not simply focused on being surprised by Su Bai's data. In the trailer, whether male or female, their heroic figures in training made the spectators and passers-by who are now in the circle of pretty boy idols feel the huge difference between these athletes and idols in the entertainment industry.
Zheng Xiaoya was originally a simple passerby who only cared about watching gossips. She would occasionally fall in love with good-looking boys and girls. As a passerby, she first learned about the program "Athletics Idol Training Camp" from the comments in an anonymous gossip forum.
However, she personally has no interest in track and field. The only track and field knowledge she knows is that there are athletes in China who can run the 100 meters in less than 10 seconds, which is very impressive.
Therefore, even though she knew of the existence of this program and that the contestants were all athletes who brought glory to the country, she still couldn't muster much interest in it.
Until today, a post suddenly appeared on the homepage of the anonymous melon-eating forum - [Take a look, take a look! The trailer for "Athletics Idol Training Camp" has been released! Come and pick your favorite contestant! 】
This post was posted and then sank, but after being pushed up several times by netizens, it began to be fixed on the homepage, and the number of replies began to grow continuously.
After the post had been on the front page for half an hour and all the replies had been turned, Zheng Xiaoya finally clicked on the post out of boredom.
The post very considerately reposted all the photos officially released by the program team, and also provided quick links to each contestant's vcr and the preview of the entire program. You can click to watch the full version of the video with just a click of the mouse.
When seeing these contents, Zheng Xiaoya couldn't help but complain in her heart - this tap water is too professional, could it be the water army of the program production team?
Originally, she wanted to exit the post directly, but Zheng Xiaoya saw the first picture in the post, which was a photo of Zhang Ziyi.
I don’t know why, but at first glance, Zheng Xiaoya was attracted by the belief in Zhang Ziyi’s eyes in the photo. She couldn’t help but click on Zhang Ziyi’s VCR, and then looked at the VCRs of each contestant and the trailer "Growth".
Half an hour later, Zheng Xiaoya dazedly realized that she had watched every contestant's VCR, including the final growth trailer.
The trailer even made her eyes red.
After she came to her senses, she couldn't help but say "Ahhhhh" in her heart for 5 minutes, and then clenched her fist firmly: I will definitely follow this show, too!
But...with so many super A boys and girls, who should she pick? ? ?
In the building of this program, if you scroll down, you can see countless people who have the same troubles as Zheng Xiaoya.
63l: [Wow, what kind of treasure group is this! Why didn’t I realize before that there are so many super-A and cool athletes in our national team? 】
70l: [I’m in a dilemma of making a decision +1. Never mind. I’m going to follow all these athletes on Weibo first! ! 】
110l: [Why are you all talking about the contestants? Is there anyone who wants to pick a coach with me? Su Bai is really so cute! She is so young, yet has such a strong and calm aura. This contrast hits my heart! 】
…
This post, until the page is turned, is filled with various pick discussions by nerds, occasionally mixed with some data-related arguments, and they lament that they never knew what the situation was like in the 400-meter event in the past. However, even in this silent event, there are still so many athletes who dedicate their youth to fighting for this event.
It can be said that many people who were originally just watching the show with the mentality of "a new variety show to save the elderly" really began to be attracted by the show itself after this preview package came out.
The ups and downs on the Internet have nothing to do with the people on the track and field team.
These days, they still maintain a normal training rhythm every day. The only difference is that there will be cameras following them during training. Occasionally, when they draw a task card, they will have special tasks to perform every day.
Apart from that, the players did not feel that there was much difference from their usual training.
At most, the program directors would ask them some questions from time to time. These questions ranged from whether the coach's cooking was delicious, to what plans they had for their future career goals, or their impressions and judgments of their teammates. They were scattered and the contestants didn't know why the program team asked them these questions.
I don’t know if Qiu Wen was born with the talent for variety shows, but the directors of the show couldn’t help but laugh when they saw him these days.
Their show doesn't really need contestants to deliberately screw up their characters, but they certainly won't deliberately avoid using Qiu Wen's natural and unpretentious character.
Especially in the trailer, Qiu Wen's image is quite outstanding - after all, Qiu Wen is no worse looking than Wang Shen, and when he speaks seriously in the trailer, he has a confident, arrogant and cool feeling, which is very easy to make people fall in love with him.
However, this unlucky kid, not only had his previous top 5 data beaten by others, but also in every card-drawing session of the program group, he was able to naturally grasp the essence of the unlucky ones. Every time he drew a card, his pitiful look of wanting to find Su Bai to ask for favors in exchange for tasks was enough to create a comedic effect.
The director team has no doubt that this contrast between the contestant's image and that in the trailer will bring a lot of popularity and discussion to the program team.
On the training ground, Qiu Wen, who was training, could be said to be in a very bad mood these days. Every time he drew a task card, he could get a task. However, every task card he drew was a D-level card, and the tasks on the D-level cards were not too difficult for others, but they happened to hit his weaknesses.
Now, after training in the 400m event for almost a year, Qiu Wen dares to say that his overall level has improved a lot compared to when he first switched to this event, and his shortcomings have been well made up.
But even so, he was still able to draw mission cards specifically targeting his weaknesses.
"Alas... Lao Zhang, I feel like the production team is definitely targeting me!" During the break, Qiu Wen couldn't help but grumble to Zhang Ziyi beside him.
Zhang Ziyi had also been watching Qiu Wen's tragedy these days. As the captain of the men's team, Zhang Ziyi coughed twice and didn't laugh. Instead, he patted Qiu Wen on the shoulder and comforted him: "It should be just an accident. After all, this card draw is uncontrollable..."
Unexpectedly, after hearing Zhang Ziyi's consolation, Qiu Wen's expression became even more melancholy: "qaq So... Old Zhang, do you mean that I am so unlucky?"
…
"Hmm..." Zhang Ziyi was stunned by the question and didn't know how to answer for a moment. He could only pat the unfortunate child on the shoulder to comfort him.
The training for the 400-meter event went as usual and no major problems were encountered for the time being. However, also on the training ground, Cui Luoheng encountered considerable problems in his step modification before the hurdles.
The so-called "eight to seven" means that the athletes who are modifying their pace need to change the original eight steps before the hurdle to seven steps before the hurdle. In addition to adjusting the stride size and the overall rhythm before the hurdle, the most difficult problem to overcome is that in the process of changing from eight to seven, the original eight steps are changed to seven steps. Therefore, the athletes need to adjust their starting leg, stride leg and swing leg.
For these professional track and field athletes, let alone the starting leg, stride leg and swing leg, even their preparatory posture when starting has been the result of long-term training. The angle difference between these fixed postures after training and the optimal posture angle for athletes to generate power determined through discussion and research by the coaching team is often no more than 2 degrees.
After years of training, these skills can be said to have been deeply engraved in the players' bodies and muscle memory.
The technical transformation that Cui Luoheng is now going to carry out, changing his eight steps in front of the hurdle to seven, requires completely breaking his original muscle memory. This is equivalent to changing a left-handed person into a right-handed person in a short period of time, and also requires making his right hand as flexible and powerful as his left hand that he has used for more than ten years.
The difficulty of this can be imagined.
Since starting the eight-to-seven training, simply changing the starting leg has made it almost impossible for Cui Luoheng to start normally on the track.
For example, at this moment, he had already adjusted the front and back position of his legs on the starting blocks, but he kept supporting himself with his hands, frowning, and unable to start normally.
Next to Cui Luoheng was Su Bai, who had been accompanying him and watching him try hard to adapt to the new starting posture.
