Chapter 104



[Screenshots of the starting movements just now. Does anyone have a larger picture? I was so fascinated by what I saw on TV, but I just couldn't understand the difference between Zhang Ziyi's actions those times... How could Su Bai explain it so clearly? 】

[…The world of athletes is unfathomable. I am impressed. I took a photo of the nine-square grid just now, but I looked at the photo for a long time and still couldn’t figure out what was wrong with these movements… (picture attached). Is there any expert who can explain it clearly? Can someone come out and explain it to me? ? ? 】

[As a student majoring in sports passing by, I can roughly understand what Su Bai is doing. In addition, some details recorded through video are different from the feeling of watching in person. I can understand why most people can't see it. However, at Zhang Shuai's level, many of his technical moves are specifically designed by the coaching staff after collecting various data. So, even if I were to watch it in person, I probably wouldn't be able to see anything fancy...]

[Is this the world of the boss?] (gently kneel down.gif)]

[Before watching this variety show today, I originally thought that track and field variety shows didn’t seem to have much to watch, but after watching it… it was really good (By the way, watching Coach Su cooking at the beginning made me hungry, I’ve already ordered takeout, so good.jpg)]

When it comes to the variety show "Athletics Idol Training Camp", almost everyone initially thought it would be a passionate sports variety show. However, after it opened, the show was unexpected several times.

No one could have imagined that for such a sports variety show, the production crew would dare to use food as the entry point for the opening, and this entry point was very appropriate and did not seem forced at all.

This variety show uses food as an eye-catching point to introduce the daily diet and nutrition culture of Su Bai, a coach and professional track and field athlete. Through Su Bai's cooking skills, it also tells the "top 5" event that has attracted a lot of attention for the track and field team's 400-meter event. In addition, it connects the top 5 with the theme of this variety show, and successfully introduces the competition mechanism of this variety show - the selection method also comes from the "top 5" mechanism.

——There are 15 athletes in the men's and women's 400-meter sprint events. Who do you want to pick?

——At the end of the program, the final top 5 members will be selected based on the "top points" accumulated by the contestants. Combined with the contestants' daily training results, at the end of winter training, the winner of the top 5 competition between the men's team and the women's team will be officially announced.

——The top 5 players who win in the end will win special rewards!

Although the program team did not specify what the special rewards were, the audience was very happy to pick them. The reason was simple: the program team was so cool. After announcing the opening of the pick channel, the program team directly opened a 'real-time pick trend chart' in the lower right corner of the live broadcast screen. This trend chart appears approximately every 5 minutes, and before the program switches to the advertising period, a large picture will be directly displayed.

Perhaps it is because this pick is just a joke, and the biggest impact of all pick data on the contestants is whether they can get into the 'top 5', so the program team does not have to worry about anyone accusing them of shady dealings. At the beginning, all the contestants' pick votes were 0, and even when the data was refreshed for the first time 10 minutes later, the audience's pick votes were only a few thousand or tens of thousands. Even the large-screen screenshots released before the commercial break looked like two completely different worlds from the thriving pick data of ordinary talent shows.

This kind of performance that does not care about exposing the real data has brought a completely different experience from the past to all fans who watch variety shows and those who follow the entertainment industry.

After all, for those who have really been in the show circle and are fans of the show, whose data doesn’t start from millions?

Talent show variety shows also have to save face, and when the data is actually revealed, the data is already quite good. Which talent show variety show can really be like "Track and Field Idol Training Camp", where people can see the votes jump up by dozens during the broadcast?

Moreover, voting does not require any extra expenditure from the audience. There is a voting QR code on the screen. Just scan it with your mobile phone and click it, and you can even save the SMS fee.

The only problem is that this voting is too strict. A mobile phone can only scan the code to vote once per issue. After scanning, there is not even a channel for people to recharge and pay to vote again.

Anyway, after seeing this, all the fans and gossipers really understand that this variety show's pick is not so much a talent show as a real pick game. This clear approach is almost like a "head count". Just wait until an episode is finished, calculate the total number of voters, and then check the ratings of the show on the official data website...

Some industry insiders who were following this new variety show were immediately shocked - this production crew is so bold, they actually dare to do this?

Immediately, people in the industry directly contacted their friends, and started discussing this "micro variety show" that had suddenly appeared in groups of two or three.

There are many people in the industry among the netizens. As soon as the program team's pick format appeared, they directly opened a discussion thread on the Internet to discuss whether the program team's approach will have a certain impact on other talent shows, and whether this approach goes against the industry's default "rules".

Ordinary spectators and show fans, on the other hand, felt unprecedented joy in this way of playing - this simple and crude way of voting brought a long-lost pure pleasure of talent show picks.

They don't have to consider buying designated products from the program sponsors to get extra votes. All they have to do is simply choose a contestant they want to support based on their own preferences, and then cast their precious vote. By the way, they can go to the Internet and various groups where their relatives and friends are and ask everyone to help vote.

Compared with previous talent shows, the picks for this show are the top players of the national team. Even if you ask your family members to vote, just to support the players of the national team, the parents will be happy to do so, and who knows, they may even turn around and give them a few compliments.

For a while, in addition to the initial fans of each contestant on the Internet calling for votes, many people's family groups, classmates, relatives and friends groups also popped up some requests for support.

【(QR code)Please help scan this QR code and vote for Zhang Ziyi/Qiu Wen/Li Junhao! This is a vote for the national track and field team. Support the national team athletes who bring glory to the country with just a flick of your finger! ^0^】

【(QR code)Pick her, pick her! The queen of the women's 400m sprint event of the national track and field team! Miss Chen Yadan is really super cool and awesome. She even won the runner-up in the Asian Six Nations Athletics Joint Competition. Let’s all support this little sister! 】

Such requests for vote canvassing quickly spread among many WeChat and QQ groups, and even Weibo was filled with various requests for vote canvassing.

Moreover, it is not just the fans of the show and the spectators who are interested in this voting activity. After seeing the pick data, those sports enthusiasts who watch the show also took out their mobile phones and solemnly cast their precious votes.

These sports fans don't understand the ticket buying operations in the show industry. They only know that there seemed to be many votes in the past that involved terrifying figures of tens or even millions. But when it came to track and field, the average number of votes per athlete on TV was only tens of thousands, and Qiu Wen, who had the highest number of votes, had not even broken 100,000.

Every sports fan who saw this felt a chill in his heart: It seems that this track and field variety show is also quite obscure. As expected, few people like to watch content related to sports.

In fact, if anyone in the industry heard the inner voices of sports fans, their faces would probably turn green.

In the Track and Field Idol Training Camp program, there are probably 15 contestants in the 400-meter event for both the men's and women's teams. Each contestant currently has tens of thousands of votes, with an average of about 60,000 to 70,000 votes.

The voting mechanism of this variety show determines that the voting data, at least in the first episode, is not too inflated.

This means that the actual number of voters has reached over one million.

The program has not yet been completed, and some of the voters were directly drawn to vote by the audience. That is to say, there will be a group of new viewers who may come to watch the program out of curiosity.

The ratings of this program have not only not declined as the program is aired, but may also be gradually climbing to a higher point.

And what does one million actual voters represent?

In many real talent shows, those tens or even millions of votes can be obtained by purchasing designated products and paying multiple times to obtain additional votes.

If you really count them, the number of votes supporting a single contestant in those talent shows is probably not as high as the support rate of any ordinary contestant in the current "Track and Field Idol Training Camp".

Many industry insiders who knew about this situation were deeply moved, and the only thought in their minds at this moment was - this variety show is a hit.

As the variety show aired, many people saw more than just the "cool operations" of the program crew. When the contestants officially entered the training state, even Qiu Wen, who originally looked a little silly, showed an unmistakable serious look in the camera.

On the track, Qiu Wen was repeatedly going back and forth on the 200-meter section. What he was doing was the "pyramid" speed training with a difficulty level of S on the task card.

After every 50-meter section, there will be an alarm for the segment timer. At the same time, when Qiu Wen reaches the finish line, he must ensure that his speed when he reaches the finish line and the speed at which he completes the 200-meter training as a whole are within Su Bai's requirements.

With his current ability, he needs to do speed training of 200 meters per lap in 25 seconds, for a total of 5 times. According to Su Bai's requirements, Qiu Wen is allowed to make no more than one mistake in time control in these 5 laps, and the error time must not exceed 1 second.

When the audience in front of the TV first heard this requirement, they did not have any special reaction. Running 200 meters in 25 seconds is not too outrageous. You know, the speed requirement for running 200 meters for the national third-level athletes is only 25.74 seconds.

Until a sports student popped up on Weibo after seeing this request.

[#Track and Field Idol Training Camp#...Okay, I finally understand why he is the country's top athlete. The gap is too big. I can run 200 meters within 25 seconds, which is easy for me. But if I have to control the time precisely, that’s a bit of a problem. And this doesn’t just involve one run, but five consecutive runs, which requires very high physical fitness and speed endurance. If you don’t believe me, you can try it.

You know, for some people, 200 meters in 25 seconds is already full speed. Even if it were me, 25 seconds for one lap or two laps would be no problem, but if I were to maintain this speed for three or four laps, I don't think I would be able to bear it.

In this situation, you also have to control your running speed... According to Coach Su's requirements, the rest time for each run is just enough to catch your breath. The intensity of this training is really high. 】

As the athlete was talking, Qiu Wen had just completed his five 200-meter pyramid speed trainings. From the sweat on his head and the way he put his hands on his hips and gasped for breath, it was clear that the training for that event had indeed consumed a lot of his energy.

And his training certainly didn't end there.

After Qiu Wen, Zhang Ziyi, Li Junhao, Chen Yada and others have also completed their respective pyramid trainings. Among them, the standards of Zhang Ziyi and Li Junhao are the same as Qiu Wen, which is 25 seconds per set. Chen Yada of the female team is now sprinting at a speed of 28.50 seconds per set.

After watching the training of these players and seeing that the players in the control group made mistakes in training, the audience was able to truly see the difficulty of this training.

And when the director of the program asked Su Bai questions, the audience heard Su Bai's views on this training.

"Through this training, the absolute speed of the athletes can be improved quickly and steadily, and absolute speed is an important guarantee for 400-meter athletes to improve their performance in the competition."

"Hmm? What's the best result that the athletes in this pyramid can achieve? The one who is in the best condition in this training is Qiu Wen. After all, he was originally a 100m and 200m athlete. His absolute speed is also a big advantage. However, he is not very good at controlling time and rhythm."

"He has already mastered the 25-second stage very well. Next, he needs to start challenging himself for 24 seconds each time..."

It can be said that although some training items that need to be kept confidential were cut from the program, a large part of the track and field team’s real training routine was also broadcast in the program.

The athletes' training status and their taunts to each other in the "top 5 seats" and "ordinary seats" during breakfast and lunch are intertwined with scenes of members of other track and field teams passing by and watching.

It was also the first time for many viewers to see athletes full of life. However, thanks to the careful and in-depth training videos of the athletes shot by the program crew, as well as the presentation of many technical details during training, the audience would not be confused by the athletes' relaxed state when eating and chatting, and would not think that their training was not hard.

It can be said that they are relaxed and playful when playing, and work hard when training. In this variety show, the image of the athletes has finally become fuller in the eyes of the audience.

They can remember Zhang Ziyi who seemed gentle and easy to talk to, and they can also see Zhang Ziyi with a ferocious face or sweating profusely but without any complaints during training;

They can see Li Junhao, who looks like a rebellious teenager, with "rebellion" written on the left side of his face and "you are all fools" written on the right side of his face. He is a stinky-faced boy who would complain about Qiu Wen's stupidity during meals. However, he is more serious than anyone else in training, and he works very hard without any relaxation. No matter from his expression or his state, you can't see any slackness.

There is also Qiu Wen who looks silly, Lin Chuan who looks like a good guy, Zhang Wei and Hu Li who obey Su Bai's instructions in training, Chen Yadan who firmly believes that the women's team does not belong to the men's team, and Lin Yao and Lin Huan who also don't want to lose to the men's team...

When the camera swept across the entire 400-meter team, the audience was surprised to find that there were so many people in this team. How could they remember all the names of these players without realizing it?

To be honest, this variety show doesn't have any character settings at all. Look at those athletes. When they really start training, their only reaction is to work hard or find coach Su Bai to communicate with him about the problems they encountered during training.

For example, why do I feel like I have too much strength to use? Why do I feel like some of my movements are always deformed? Or when I turn from a curve to a straight road, I feel like my step frequency and stride switching is a bit awkward and stuck...

In such a training environment, who cares about your personality?

The audience can all see that these contestants have no intention of hiding anything in front of the camera, and they appear to be exactly as they are in normal times.

Be true and open.

Seeing this, the audience couldn't help but sigh in their hearts - this is the 'real presentation' advocated in many variety shows, rather than letting the guest contestants prepare a set of personalities for themselves, apply them to themselves, and then perform these personalities to fool the audience.

While watching the show, Zheng Xiaoya chatted quickly with her sisters, trying to see if she could go somewhere else to help them pick Qiu Wen and get some votes.

Qiu Wen’s old mother: [Wow, my little darling Qiu Wen, my son is the cutest in the world! ! ! I have just sent the QR code for canvassing votes for the baby to the family group. When the show is over, I will cut a video for my son to promote him. I want the whole world to know such a cute baby! 】

It’s Xiaoya: [! Oh yeah, my parents are watching the show with me, I almost forgot about them... Come to think of it, you changed your nickname too quickly, didn’t you? 】

While Zheng Xiaoya was messaging her sisters, she looked up at her parents and said, "Mom and Dad, please scan the QR code! Vote for Qiu Wen!"

"Hmm? QR code?" Father Zheng coughed and said seriously, "I have already voted for Zhang Ziyi. Hey, what are you doing, wife?"

As soon as Mr. Zheng finished saying that he voted for Zhang Ziyi, his mother twisted his arm and said, "Why did you vote for Zhang Ziyi? I think Chen Yadan is a good girl. Remember to vote for her next time!"

……?

Zheng Xiaoya originally thought that her parents were just watching the variety show and had no intention of voting. However, without her knowing, her parents had already voted for the "opponent".

Zheng Xiaoya was just about to struggle and try to win some votes for Qiu Wen, who had a very cute score, but when she saw that her father had surrendered without any principles, she silently shut up and was determined not to give her mother the opportunity to suppress her.

On TV, this episode of the variety show has come to an end. An episode of the variety show records a complete training schedule of the contestants. After the training, the director of the show chats with the contestants.

Do you train like this every day? 】

"Not really. During the winter training period, the training will be the main focus, and the training volume will be relatively large. After the season begins, the training volume and targeted training content will be adjusted according to the importance of different competitions..."

Isn’t it tiring to train like this? 】

"Of course I am tired, but I'm used to it. Besides, if you want to achieve results, you have to be tired. For example, I have watched the variety shows you usually shoot. Those artists must be tired after training, right? And your production crew has been following us for a whole day. The brothers carrying the camera have consumed as much energy as us..."

At this point in the conversation, the director paused for a moment before saying: [Do you like your project? Is running your dream? 】

When the team members heard this question, they were stunned for a moment, and then people started to answer one after another.

“… Actually, I used to have doubts sometimes. At that time, when the results were not good, I even thought about retiring.”

"Of course I like it now!"

"When I was young, my family was not well off. At that time, I knew that if I didn't run, I might have to drop out of school... In fact, it's still the same now. If I don't run, I might have to go back and get married. But now I continue to train here with all my strength, not because I am afraid of going home, but because I like it and I long for it."

"like……"

"Of course I do!"

The athletes all spoke up along with the noise of the environment and their relaxed voices. In the end, these voices converged into a unified and powerful answer - "I like my event, and I want to become stronger! I want to run my own results in this arena... Winning glory for our country is our responsibility and our dream!"

Life never stops, and running never stops.

When these eight big words were typed on the screen that suddenly turned black, the audience, who were originally very happy watching the lively show, had their eyes reddened at some point, and even had tears in their eyes.

[These athletes who keep running on the track deserve better support and encouragement! 】

After this line of subtitles, the show ended. Before the end of the show, there was another special advertisement from Hook. The advertisement stated that as long as the contestants' vote support reached a certain amount in each issue, Hook would invite contestants whose average vote amount reached a certain value to shoot individual advertisements. At the same time, if the total number of votes reached the specified value before the end of the show, Hook would invite the coaches of the national team's 400-meter sprint project team and all members of the winter training camp to become Hook's spokespersons.

'They are doing their best to pursue their dreams, so let us be the light that illuminates their path to their dreams! '

All the audience could see clearly what the Hook brand really meant - as long as the votes were high enough, Hook would sign the athletes as brand spokespersons, allowing them to gain some monetary benefits. Although this method was crude, it was indeed direct and effective in benefiting the athletes.

So, after this special advertisement ended, fans on the Internet who originally cast their votes as a joke, and even elders who had watched the show, began to take voting seriously.
