"Filming a variety show?"
When hearing this announcement, the 400m event participants had different reactions.
Qiu Wen had a look of "as expected" on his face, and then quickly followed it up with "God wants to kill me". Zhang Ziyi and Li Junhao didn't react much. The former was because as the face of the 400m event, he had been on some interviews or variety shows with the national team in the past. As for the latter, it was purely because of Li Junhao's tsundere nature. He didn't have any special expectations for TV variety shows.
On the men's team, Hu Li, Zhang Wei, Zhang Chang, and Zhou Xu are quite looking forward to the program crew coming to shoot a variety show.
"So, my parents can also watch our training on TV?"
"Oh, if we shoot now, will it be on TV during the Spring Festival?"
"It would be great if it was during the Spring Festival!"
Thinking about being on TV, who knows, their family members might be able to see them on TV soon, Zhang Chang and the others all had happy smiles on their faces.
After all, in the past, although they were athletes who were often called up to the national team for training, their results were relatively ordinary. In the 400-meter relay team, Zhang Chang and Zhou Xu were usually substitute players and rarely had the opportunity to actually appear in major competitions.
As athletes, they certainly know that this is a normal thing, but their families, as ordinary people, don’t understand much about these things.
Sometimes, when talking to family members on the phone, Zhang Chang and his family would ask, "My child, didn't you go to the Asian Games last time? How come your mother and I didn't see you play from the beginning to the end?"
Even if the family members have some knowledge of the sports world, they can't help but be asked by the aunts and uncles: "Hey, isn't your kid an athlete on the national team? The training is so hard that he can't even go home for the Spring Festival to train. So can he participate in the Olympics in the future?"
In fact, relatives and friends at home may not have any bad intentions when it comes to this kind of question. It's just that for ordinary people, it's difficult to explain to them concepts such as the 'National Track and Field Grand Prix', 'National Games', 'National Championships', or national first-class athletes, national masters, etc. If you really want to talk about it, even if you mention the Diamond League, many people will be confused.
If you really want to make people feel impressive, only well-known terms like "Olympic Games" can make relatives and friends look suddenly enlightened.
But let alone the Olympics, with their strength, and the newcomers like Qiu Wen, Li Junhao and others who are currently suppressing them, if people like Zhang Wei really want to get a place in the World Championships and the Olympics, they can only strive to become a reserve member of the 400m relay.
For them, it doesn't matter whether they are on the reserve list or not, it is all about winning glory for the country. However, the reserve players basically cannot show their faces after all, which is a pity for them after all.
Now, with such a variety show being recorded for the national team, their family members will be able to see them on TV. And if it can be broadcast during the Spring Festival, it will be even better. They have been called up to the national team to participate in winter training, and there is no holiday during the Spring Festival. It is also a good thing for them to let their parents, grandparents, relatives and friends see them on TV!
Not only the men's team, but the women's team members are also very happy. Most of the women's team members' family conditions are not very good, and some of them are girls from third- and fourth-tier small towns. The people in these places still have a great aura of awe for those who can appear on TV and in shows. If the girls can appear on a TV show or something, when they retire in the future, they will not only have the aura of a national team athlete, but also the background of a "big shot who has been on TV." No matter what they do, their families will pay more attention to them.
In general, there is a "micro variety show" going to film this event. In the end, except for Qiu Wen, the unlucky child who has been "persecuted" by countless people recently, everyone else was quite happy.
When the team members of the 400-meter event finished today's training and were about to go to the cafeteria for lunch, Cui Luoheng and Wang Shen from the hurdles group next door also came over.
"Hmm? What variety show are you talking about?"
Wang Shen patted Qiu Wen's shoulder with a smile, and then raised his hands in surrender very innocently in front of Qiu Wen's melancholy eyes.
"Hey, Xiao Qiu, as a person, you should be more broad-minded and not let trivial things affect the deep friendship between friends."
?
Qiu Wen continued to look at Wang Shen with a melancholy look: "If you ask Ah Heng to delete that video from the cloud, I will be more open-minded."
Ever since that day, when Qiu Wen was filmed in a 'shameful play' video by Cui Luoheng, Qiu Wen unilaterally broke off relations with Wang Shen and Cui Luoheng for many days. He viciously issued a declaration of breaking off relations in the small group of three people, saying that 'the friendship has been unilaterally disconnected, and it can only be restored if Ah Heng deletes the video'.
However, Wang Shen and Cui Luoheng only found him the next day, and Wang Shen rubbed his head viciously, and then enthusiastically announced to him that "friendship was resurrected."
After experiencing the "friendship test of the public account", Qiu Wen found that Cui Luoheng did not ruthlessly expose his short video of that day, and finally awkwardly accepted the "return of friendship".
Of course, because he was still feeling a little awkward recently, Wang Shen and Cui Luoheng came to have dinner with him more often, as if to comfort his recently traumatized heart.
Qiu Wen glanced at Wang Shen and Cui Luoheng, and said dejectedly: "You don't know, I'm done. I'm going to be on satellite TV, in high definition, and my reputation will be ruined!"
Wang Shen was planning to lead Qiu Wen and Cui Luoheng to the cafeteria and listen to what the variety show was about on the way. But when he turned around, he saw that Cui Luoheng, who was supposed to be with them, had come close to Su Bai and seemed to be talking to Su Bai.
Seeing this, Wang Shen raised his eyebrows, then walked out with Qiu Wen with a smile.
"Eh? Lao Wang, why are you leaving now? Aren't you going to wait for Ah Heng?"
"Hmm." Wang Shen smiled and said, "I thought about it, his previous behavior of filming the video is still unforgivable. Let's leave today as a punishment for Comrade Cui Luoheng."
As Qiu Wen listened to Wang Shen saying this as he was taking him away, he felt that his IQ was not good enough today and that he seemed to have been fooled.
On the other side, Cui Luoheng also saw Wang Shen taking Qiu Wen away first. He glanced at them and didn't think much about it. Instead, he turned his attention back to Su Bai.
Just now, he made a request to Su Bai.
"You want to practice eight to seven?"
Cui Luoheng nodded: "Yes."
The so-called "eight to seven" means changing the number of steps before the hurdle in the hurdle event from eight to seven. By reducing the number of steps, the total time taken by the athlete can be shortened.
After all, every step has a time to touch the ground and a time to swing the legs. For an event like the 110-meter hurdles, where even the speed of reaction to the gun can affect the outcome of the race, changing from eight to seven in the pre-hurdle stage is an important way for athletes to improve their performance.
At the same time, the seven steps before the hurdles are now basically the standard for some top 110-meter hurdlers abroad. However, in China, most athletes still maintain the traditional eight-step technique, and few athletes learn to use the seven-step technique.
In the plan that Su Bai arranged for Cui Luoheng, Cui Luoheng also had to improve his technique habit of eight steps before the hurdles to seven steps before the hurdles. However, he only took over Cui Luoheng's training in the middle of last year. What he did last year was more about adjusting Cui Luoheng's psychological problems. In addition, there were also adjustments such as the use of strength techniques and the adjustment of compound abilities from acceleration to speed maintenance from the start to the seventh hurdle.
In addition, because Cui Luoheng was accustomed to completing his training and competitions under the guidance of his coach, over the past six months, Su Bai has tried his best to guide Cui Luoheng to independently complete the prediction of the competition and his own rhythm.
For Cui Luoheng, his unique talent for rhythm sensitivity may actually be much stronger than Su Bai's guidance and restrictions on his sense of rhythm.
In Su Bai's plan, Cui Luoheng needs to stabilize and settle down for a period of time at the current stage before considering further improving his performance in the 110-meter hurdles through technical adjustments from eight to seven. Su Bai originally planned to arrange the training plan time for this eight-to-seven adjustment during next year's winter training.
By then, Cui Luoheng's technical adjustment from eight to seven will be completed during the winter training period, and he will participate in some competitions before the Olympics to warm up and find his competitive form. It will be just in time for the Olympic cycle, and he can reach a stage of explosiveness after the technical adjustment, and maybe he can fight for the finals then.
Although this is what Su Bai planned, these adjustments and plans are temporarily just integrated into Cui Luoheng's daily training. If you really look at it from an outsider's perspective, Su Bai does have a somewhat "let the sheep run" attitude towards Cui Luoheng.
Su Bai thought about it and asked Cui Luoheng: "A Luo, can you tell me why you are so eager to do the eight-to-seven training?"
Cui Luoheng pursed his lips and looked at Su Bai with slightly expectant eyes: "I want to train with you more, Xiaobai."
?
Su Bai was stunned and didn't understand the reason.
Then he saw Cui Luoheng lower his head with some grievance: "Xiaobai... Coach, you have a lot of players now..."
For a moment, Su Bai seemed to see the shadow of the big wolfdog in his family during his childhood in Cui Luoheng.
He still remembers that when he was a child, there was a time when he was sick and his parents were busy taking care of him. No one in the family had time to take him out for a walk. The dog knew he was sick, but didn't make a fuss. It just huddled in a corner, staring at him eagerly, but didn't dare to get close.
It was not until he recovered from his illness that the dog came up to him aggrievedly and nudged his face with its nose. The expression on his face was full of expectation, as if it had been a long time since anyone had played with him.
Su Bai rubbed his head with amusement. He didn't expect that he had overlapped the shadows of Cui Luoheng and the dog in his family back then. But when he thought about it, Cui Luoheng's mood might really be somewhat similar to that of his dog.
Cui Luoheng was originally a taciturn person. During his many years in the S Province Track and Field Team, even though the food was completely not to his liking, he remained silent and just tried hard to adapt.
Later, because he was too sensitive to rhythm, he was affected by the surrounding atmosphere and other players on the field, and his condition was troubled. He did not complain too much. Even when the psychological pressure accumulated to the extreme, he just tried to change himself and become stronger through continuous training.
It can be said that if Wang Shen and Qiu Wen had not accidentally become friends with him, and if Su Bai had not paid attention to his situation and helped him out of his original predicament, perhaps Cui Luoheng would have collapsed by now due to the pressure of the competition and various other problems.
To be honest, if Cui Luoheng can be compared to a dog, then Su Bai took this autistic dog named 'Cui Luoheng' under his wings when he was in a difficult situation with no food to eat and no way to go, combed his hair, fed him, took him to run, jump and play healthily, and then let him show the unique style of a German Shepherd again.
Su Bai's existence is so special to Cui Luoheng.
Su Bai still remembers that on the eve of the Asian Games, Cui Luoheng would specially find him and listen to his detailed analysis of possible situations on the field and targeted plans and instructions.
At that time, Qiu Wen seemed to have complained about Cui Luoheng, and what did Cui Luoheng say?
Well, it seems like - 'I have a bad mental state'.
Su Bai looked up at Cui Luoheng, who was tall and strong but looked a little aggrieved, and couldn't help but raise his hand to rub his hair.
Since returning from the Asian Games... no, or rather, since joining the national team, he has indeed paid less attention to Cui Luoheng. After all, he has his own main event, and the 400-meter men's and women's teams have a large number of players. Especially after the start of winter training, people like Zhang Wei and Hu Li were called up for winter training. Of course, his daily attention is more focused on the 400-meter team.
In addition, there are Lu Mengfan and Zhao Yankai in the 110-meter hurdles, Fang Yu in the 100-meter, and Wang Shen in the high jump... He pays attention to so many athletes every day that he naturally pays less attention to Cui Luoheng.
Even though he usually paid close attention to Cui Luoheng through the system data and was equally serious about his training plan, from Cui Luoheng's perspective, he was suddenly separated from the familiar training environment of the S Province Track and Field Team, and Su Bai, who was actually responsible for formulating his training plan, was not the coach who watched over his training every day.
…
…………
After thinking about it, Su Bai suddenly felt a little sorry for Cui Luoheng. He had indeed paid too little attention to Cui Luoheng before. No wonder Cui Luoheng would come to him from time to time to discuss training issues recently...
For a player like Cui Luoheng who appears silent but is psychologically sensitive, a coach like him is indeed too bad.
Su Bai smiled bitterly. He originally thought that as a coach, he treated his players fairly. However, during this period, he paid more attention to Wang Shen and Fang Yu, players who were not really registered under his name in the past two days. Cui Luoheng was really wronged.
Thinking of this, Su Bai rubbed Cui Luoheng's hair again - Cui Luoheng was tall and strong, and looked silent, aloof and introverted, but his hair was quite soft, and had some slight natural curls, and it felt surprisingly good to rub.
"Okay, the technical upgrade from eight to seven may be too early for you now..."
As soon as Su Bai said this, he saw Cui Luoheng's expectant expression turned a little depressed. Su Bai immediately said with a smile: "No... Luo, don't be anxious."
Su Bai rubbed his forehead and said, "I'll tell Coach Lu later that you should train in the sprint group for the next period of time. I will personally guide you and see how your daily training is going. In addition, if you really want to do the eight-to-seven training in advance... it's not impossible."
Su Bai had just considered Cui Luoheng's request. In fact, if the technical reform from eight to seven is carried out now, compared to waiting until next year, the earlier the adjustment is made, the more time there will be to adapt to the new technology. However, during this period, there will be more technical details to be adjusted at the same time, and it is possible that Cui Luoheng's personal performance will be unstable in 2019...
In short, Su Bai considered a lot, and finally explained to Cui Luoheng - he would first observe Cui Luoheng's training situation for a few days, and then he would have a meeting with Lu Shengbin to discuss whether to directly make technical adjustments to Cui Luoheng from eight to seven within this year.
Although Cui Luoheng's initial request seemed to have not been fulfilled, the way he looked at Su Bai at this moment was just like a big dog wagging its tail. Although there was no particularly happy expression on his face, it could be seen from his bright eyes that he was obviously very happy at this moment.
Su Bai looked at Cui Luoheng with amusement. Looking at Cui Luoheng's head, he couldn't help but feel itchy again, but he pinched his palm and held it back. He said to Cui Luoheng: "Okay, let's go and eat."
Cui Luoheng glanced at Su Bai's hands, and seemed to see that Su Bai's hands were itchy, and he even lowered his head to Su Bai very consciously.
Su Bai:?
It’s a waste if you don’t rub it...!
After finishing their business, Su Bai and Cui Luoheng went to the cafeteria together. Cui Luoheng took out his cell phone in a very serious manner and handed it to Su Bai.
Su Bai took the phone with some confusion and immediately couldn't help coughing twice - the phone contained a bunch of photos of Qiu Wen squatting in the 'ordinary area' to eat with a melancholy look on his face, and at the end there was a short video he took that day. Qiu Wen in the video looked extremely sad and angry.
"Where did this video come from? Why are there so many photos?"
Cui Luoheng's answer was very calm: "Lao Wang asked me to take the video and the photos were also sent to me by Lao Wang."
?
Su Bai thought about Qiu Wen, who seemed to be walking to the cafeteria arm in arm with Wang Shen just now, and suddenly felt that Qiu Wen, this silly boy, was really "treating a thief as a friend".
Just after Su Bai promised Cui Luoheng that he would go to the 400-meter project team's training venue next time, Cui Luoheng went straight to the 400-meter project training venue in charge of Su Bai the next day.
Seeing Cui Luoheng appear at the 400-meter event venue at this hour, Qiu Wen was confused.
"Ah Heng, have you fallen asleep? This is the 400-meter training ground. The hurdles training ground is in the playground next door, right?"
Cui Luoheng's expression was very calm: "Xiao Bai asked me to start training at the 400-meter event venue today." After a pause, he said very seriously: "The hurdles group is too far away, so he can't personally watch me train."
…
…………
?
A question mark slowly floated over Qiu Wen's head, and then he frowned, realizing that things were not simple: "... Damn, that's not right! Ah Heng, you are such a sinister and cunning guy, you actually fought for our 400-meter event!"
When Cui Luoheng heard Qiu Wen's words, a rare smile appeared on his face, and then he walked to the side and joined the warm-up training with ease.
Looking at Cui Luoheng's appearance, Qiu Wen felt that the word "danger" on his head had become even bigger. He was exposing the fact that his training speed and efficiency were not as good as others in front of his "competitors" at any time and anywhere.
Thinking of this, Qiu Wen shuddered all over - he couldn't waste any more time, he had to start training madly immediately!
The fact that Cui Luoheng's training location was changed from the hurdles group to the 400m group did not attract much attention. In the national team, there are also some track and field athletes who compete in multiple events. During training, it is not a new thing for them to train with their most familiar head coach. Except for Qiu Wen, the 400m athletes all nodded and greeted Cui Luoheng, and then each went into their own training schedule.
The training schedule of the national track and field team remains the same, and after the Athletics Management Center reported Su Bai's opinion to the variety show production team, the production team immediately got things moving quickly.
At the same time, the program team sent another application - because the original plan was prepared after the Asian Games and submitted to the Athletics Administration Center before the Asian Six Nations Athletics Joint Competition. After watching the Six Nations Joint Competition, the program team had new ideas in mind.
They submitted new reporting information to the Track and Field Administration Center, adjusted the original name to "Track and Field Idol Training Camp", and proposed that while focusing on the 400-meter project team, they also hoped to invite players such as Fang Yu, Wang Shen, Lu Mengfan, Zhao Yankai, and Cui Luoheng as guests for different episodes - in fact, the program team simply had a few more subjects to be filmed, and the common feature of these subjects was that they were all people for whom Su Bai had given training plans.
The Athletics Administration Center has no objection to this. This variety show was originally a new attempt to promote athletics among the general public. If a few more track and field stars could be introduced in the program so that the general public can have a better understanding of track and field events, it would be what the Athletics Administration Center wants most.
After receiving support from the Athletics Administration Center, the variety show team of "Athletics Idol Training Camp" quickly and decisively released the first round of promotional slogans on the official Weibo account that had already been registered.
——Exclusive push! The training life of the country's top track and field athletes... Recreate the training camp career of the 'track and field idol' for you! Come support your favorite track and field athletes! Let's take a look at who will be the ultimate popular 'track and field idol'!
