When the beautiful music ends.
The aftermath of "Fallen Watcher" faded away, and Su Zhe was still standing on the ice rink. He slowly retracted his outstretched right arm, withdrawing all his emotions from the music, and then turned back into the boy who stood on the ice rink with a little indifference.
Even though all the performances were over, everyone was still holding their breath, looking at the person on the ice, unwilling to believe that the dream had just disappeared.
It was a clean and tidy ending to the performance, but it made everyone want to continue to immerse themselves in the dream.
At the edge of the ice rink, Chen En looked at Su Zhe on the ice and hesitated for a long time. In the end, he just said to the coach Cui Yi beside him: "Coach, he is really amazing..."
Starting with Chen En, the people at the edge of the ice rink finally came to their senses, and then the applause began to spread throughout the venue, and finally continued for a long time.
Outside the protective board of the ice rink, in the range not covered by the camera, Shao Xingchen had just put down the camera. He silently glanced at Su Zhe, who seemed to have calmed down, and glanced down at a photo that was being previewed on the LCD screen of his camera. On the screen, the young man who had finished the performance seemed to have a trace of reluctance in his eyes.
Japan, Fuji TV live broadcast
"This is a grand visual feast!" Tsuruta Yoichi opened his mouth and looked at the scene in front of him dejectedly: "But, this is also a one-time feast. At this moment, I am extremely sure that the figure skating world has missed a true genius forever."
"...I feel really sad now." Tsuruta Yoichi looked at Su Zhe on the screen: "I long to see his live performance, even just once? But I will miss him forever...Oh, damn, why is his father so cruel?!"
Ishida Ippei looked at Su Zhe on the screen with a look of regret on his face: "We are a beautiful snow leopard boy on the track and field field. He also has an irresistible charm on the ice rink, but he ultimately belongs to the track and field track. I think this is his fateful choice..."
On Japanese Twitter, within just one hour after the live broadcast of the program ended, the discussion about Su Zhe's figure skating performance had already rushed to the top of the list.
Keywords such as The Devil's Coming, The Fallen Watcher, and Su Zhe's figure skating also quickly became hot topics.
[Unbelievable! I felt like I saw the moment of an angel falling! And the birth of a demon king... Su's performance is so amazing, I can't believe he's actually a sprinter, and I was once mesmerized by his appearance on the track! Woohoo, and now, I'm mesmerized by this person for the second time. How can there be such a beautiful person, how can there be such a beautiful performance... Once in a lifetime, I'm so sad now.]
Almost every comment on Twitter praised the performance, while also lamenting why this would be the only performance.
However, it is this kind of regretful and incomplete beauty that has made everyone more enthusiastic about discussing it, and they have begun to review this video repeatedly on Fuji TV's official website.
In China, when Su Zhe's live performance ended, the comments on the barrage first exploded like a flash flood, and after the first round of crazy praise, there were countless voices of petitions.
[QAQ is there really no future? ? ? I want to see it live once, just once! ]
[Too cruel... I want to split Su Zhe into two different people. One should maintain his competitive state and work hard in the track and field arena, and the other should be responsible for being beautiful in the world of figure skating...]
[I want to, but it’s impossible… This is a once-in-a-lifetime ice show. It’s really a grand and magnificent show. Why is it only less than 1 minute? I want to watch Zaizai’s ice show again in 360 degrees without any blind spots… Guozi TV, hurry up!!! I know you have multiple camera footages, give me all of them!!!]
In addition to those who spoke amid the torrent of barrages, there were many people who were still immersed in the atmosphere of the recent past. They had seen many different sides of Su Zhe, the powerful sprint on the short-distance track, the perfect passing of the hurdles on the 110-meter hurdles track, the constantly changing dazzling image and alluring charm in the commercials, and this time, they saw a brand new side of Su Zhe.
On the ice, his temperament is cold and aloof yet he seems to have absolute control. In the performance just now, he displayed an absolute kingly aura, that feeling of an ice and snow emperor, which made people seem to get to know him all over again.
This is a young man who has a treasure hidden in his body. When countless people have been conquered by his power, when people approach him, they find that what they have seen is only the tip of the iceberg of this treasure.
After the live broadcast ended that day, Weibo was unsurprisingly once again dominated by the show "All-Around Sports King". The program crew was also very straightforward and uploaded a clip of Su Zhe's figure skating performance separately, allowing the audience to watch the video clip directly.
This clip of Su Zhe's solo figure skating performance, accompanied by the expectations and screams of countless people, began to spread outward in waves, attracting more and more passers-by to see it and be amazed by it.
In the figure skating forum, the live discussion thread about "The King of All Sports" has become a building of 60 to 70 pages. Countless ice fans have witnessed the process of building this building, and have also witnessed that the people in the thread are gradually attracted by Su Zhe's skating and jumping on the ice, and the temperament he displayed on the ice. In the end, when the performance of Fallen Watcher was completely over, this building also fell into a brief silence.
Is this an ice show by amateur figure skaters?
Yes.
Is this a good ice show?
The same is true.
[…Now I fully understand what Chen En said. I want to see him on the ice again, but this seems to be a longed-for but unattainable dream.]
All the ice hockey fans who paid attention to Chen En’s Weibo post remember the words Chen En replied at the bottom of the Weibo post - I will never see it again.
At this moment, looking back at Chen En's words, ice fans can more deeply feel the sad emotions expressed in them.
In this tall building, ice fans discussed every detail of Su Zhe's performance, his interaction with the camera, and the unique temperament he displayed in his performance.
[It’s so rare to have such an explosive skater on ice. His current performance and even personal temperament are rare in the current figure skating circle. On the ice, I even feel that it is his world…]
[In fact, I didn’t expect that Coach Cui would really prepare a short choreography for him, and the degree of completion could reach this level, with swallow poses, spins, jumps, and step choreography, and in such a short time, he could also perform with music... When I finished watching it, I really felt incredible.]
[Incredible +1, I am still a little confused until now. In fact, his whole set of movements, except for the jump, are not very difficult. But the word "expressiveness" is enough to overwhelm everything. The ability to attract your attention to chase him and immerse you in the world he presents is really amazing.
If possible, I really hope he can switch to figure skating. Even though he is a little older now, I believe he can also have a name in the figure skating circle. But the fact is, he belongs to another world...】
…
…………
Okay, this discussion simply cannot continue.
In Su Zhe's super topic, the "philosophers" also danced passionately. Before this episode, even Su Zhe's veteran fans never knew that their kid could perform like this on the ice.
[Wow wow wow, my baby is so awesome! Mommy is so proud of you!!!]
【_(:з」∠)_A mother of a baby has already laid down. It feels like she has been waiting for her baby to take her flying since she started her sports career. She feels the joy of being a fan of a baby. 】
【??? Everyone, are you all so Buddhist? I just watched the performance of Zi Zi and I have gone crazy. I am addicted to Zi Zi every day. Every time I think I am about to climb out of the pit of Zi Zi and enjoy a normal life, Zi Zi will have a new critical hit and kick me back from the edge of the pit...】
[Hey! What are you crawling for? Of course, we are going to happily suck the cub and lie down happily in the pit together! ]
In Su Zhe's super topic, although there are many salted fish fans who have been lifted up by Su Zhe's strength and abandoned by the peace of the sports circle in the past year or so, there are also a group of big players who produce passionately every day.
Shortly after the live broadcast of "All-Athlete King" ended, a row of new Q-version figure skating photos and video screenshots were released in the super topic. Someone even photoshopped Su Zhe into a devil's costume. It was the moment when the last performance ended. His black wings spread out behind him, his long black hair was like a waterfall, and he held a scepter in his outstretched hand. His posture of overlooking everyone and the coldness in his eyes made people shudder.
Amid the howling of the "philosophers", the person who posted the picture was still lamenting that the video released by Guozi TV was still not clear enough, and it would be better if there were photos of the scene.
After seeing Dashouzi's words, everyone couldn't help but think of the guy who must have countless photos of Su Zhe on the spot hidden in his inventory.
Before everyone could lament that the "stand-up guy" didn't have any live photos this time, someone shouted in the super chat: [Go check out Shao Xingchen's Weibo!!!]
???
Why read his Weibo?
Although they felt confused, many people still opened Shao Xingchen's Weibo. When they opened it, they saw a set of nine-grid photos, which were exactly the set of figure skating photos of Su Zhe!
In Shao Xingchen's lens, everyone saw again the various emotional details of Su Zhe that Guozitai's lens failed to fully capture.
[…Damn, Mr. Shao actually watched Zi Zi’s figure skating performance?!]
After being surprised, everyone finally remembered that Shao Xingchen was also in this variety show. It was natural for him to appear on the scene and be able to take a picture of Su Zhe.
Although they know this is natural, many people still feel a little bit weird about it.
[Ah, never mind, I'll start my screen licking mode. Thank you, big guy. You are the light of "philosopher"! ]
After some doubts, some people put their doubts behind them and started to lick the pictures taken by Shao Xingchen, while asking Shao Xingchen to release more pictures.
Some others switched to their own secondary accounts and secretly went to the super topic of a certain unpopular CP on Weibo and issued a rallying slogan.
Weibo, Star for you Zhechao
[Everyone, do you think it is completely unnecessary for Big Brother to participate in this variety show? He and the other people in his team are completely different in status, right? This variety show is mainly about athletes, and the entertainment star team is there as a control group to set off the athletes. There is no benefit for Big Brother to participate in this variety show? ]
[You're right! I thought this variety show was fun to watch, but in reality, the opportunities for the big boss and the little ones to interact were pitiful... To be honest, I kept thinking that the big boss went to the variety show just to chase the little one, but it was obvious that he didn't succeed.]
[Hey, who said there was no interaction? When the kid got out of the swimming pool, didn't the boss immediately give him a big bath towel and quickly wrap him up? ]
[Pfft…sister’s perspective is brilliant! I noticed it too at the time, and I almost wanted to wrap the baby up so that no one could see it!]
【_(:з」∠)_This is too difficult. Do we really have to eat candy in the corners like this...】
[Alas, what is this about eating candy? If it's not love, why did the big guy take this variety show that has no use to him? Is it to chase his idol and take photos on the spot? ]
When this conclusion came out, everyone was silent for a moment. It seemed... that it was indeed not very reasonable, right?
That evening, Weibo was flooded with topics related to "All-Around Sports King", Su Zhe's figure skating, Su Zhe's shooting, etc. Soon, someone specially edited the footage of Su Zhe's various competitions and his performance in this variety show. At the same time, the video also included detailed data comparisons of Su Zhe in each competition, as well as the specific difficulty of achieving his shooting and figure skating skills shown in the variety show.
Just when everyone was still discussing enthusiastically, someone suddenly raised a question - from August 16 when the program recording ended, to September 13 when the program broadcast ended, it seemed that Su Zhe only had some public schedules in mid-to-late August, such as various commendation meetings and participation in various school meetings. Since the end of August, Su Zhe has returned to stealth.
It was at this time that the gossipers on Weibo realized that because of the concentrated broadcast of variety shows on Fruit Channel during this period, they had the illusion that Su Zhe had always been active. In fact, since the end of August, Su Zhe seemed to have not participated in any additional activities.
!
The bystanders who were surprised by this fact checked Su Zhe's Weibo and found that he had not been online for more than half a month. This was also his normal performance during the previous competition and training cycles.
The onlookers were a little dazed. How long had he rested since the Olympics? Has he started intensive training again?
With doubts, the netizens found the national track and field team's Weibo, and scrolled forward. Sure enough, they saw a message related to Su Zhe. Since August 27, members of the national track and field team have returned to the national team's track and field base for systematic recovery training. Among them, @Su Zhe has begun preparation training for the upcoming Diamond League under the arrangement of coaches @Su Yinsheng and @Lu Fei.
Most people don't follow the official Weibo of the national track and field team, so the news did not attract widespread attention at the time. Only sports fans forwarded it thousands of times, cheering for Su Zhe and wishing him good results in the upcoming Diamond League Lausanne and Brussels stations.
When most people turned their attention to Su Zhe again because of today's hot topic, they realized that it was already September 13th, and one day had passed since the Diamond League Lausanne Station on September 12th? !
After revisiting the official Weibo account of the National Athletics Team, people discovered that in the latest Weibo post of the National Athletics Team, it was mentioned that Su Zhe won the first place in the Diamond League Lausanne Station with a score of 9.95 seconds. At present, Su Zhe's diamond points in the Diamond League 100m event are enough for him to steadily enter the Diamond League 100m finals.
After seeing this news, many people were stunned. They did not expect that while the variety show on Guozi Channel was a huge hit, Su Zhe had actually quietly returned to intensive training and once again achieved such outstanding results in the Diamond League.
Some people remembered the existence of the Athletics Kingdom forum. After going to the Athletics Kingdom forum and scanning the recent posts one by one, many people discovered that track and field fans had already discussed Su Zhe's upcoming schedule for many rounds.
There were also discussions about Su Zhe's shooting and figure skating in the variety show, but the final focus of the discussion was whether Su Zhe's talent and love for these events would affect his own track and field performance.
It was not until today's live broadcast content came out that track and field fans in the track and field forum breathed a sigh of relief. During the show, Su Yinsheng's firm attitude and Su Zhe's feedback made them feel at ease.
Of course, what really reassured them was the Weibo post by the national track and field team that Su Zhe had returned to the team for training, as well as the good results Su Zhe achieved in the Lausanne station the day before.
[No matter how talented Su Zhe is in other events, his greatest talent and passion are still in track and field.]
After the track and field fans understood this idea, they calmed down a lot. In their view, as long as Su Zhe continues to maintain a good state in the 100-meter and 110-meter hurdles events, there will be no problem with other interests that do not affect his competitive state.
After discovering that Su Zhe had long since left the public eye, returned to the team for training, and quietly won the first place in the 100m race in the Diamond League, the mood of the spectators became a little complicated.
Amid the hectic noise on the Internet, the person they were following has already shed his previous halo and left the attention of countless spotlights, and has quietly walked back on his own path that lacks halo and attention but requires countless sweat.
Is it because he has his father and coach by his side, always pushing him forward?
After raising this question, many people quickly rejected the idea.
On the road Su Zhe is facing now, it is no longer meaningful to rely solely on the encouragement of others. Standing among the world's top athletes, the breakthroughs and efforts he needs to make can only be achieved with his own firm will and pursuit. Only in this way can he go deeper and further.
On the Internet, many people who were watching the gossip suddenly put down the gossip in their hands after seeing Su Zhe's series of performances.
Someone posted a comment on Weibo that was full of genuine emotion.
【Suddenly I really admire him. He won two bronze medals in the Olympics, and he also won the silver medal by overtaking the Japanese team at the end of the relay. His strength in the 100-meter event is on par with Chen Zhi, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the best in the country in the 110-meter hurdles.
Not only that, in the judgment of many commentators and experts, his future achievements are limitless.
This is his achievement in his profession.
Besides this, his popularity on variety shows this month is unquestionable. He even has directors and designers in the fashion circle who admire him. There are also countless businesses and TV stations that want to invite him to shoot commercials and variety shows.
During this period of time, we have seen his talent in shooting, his talent in figure skating, his performance in commercials and in front of the camera. These are all assets that he should have to travel around, but he doesn't have them.
It is now just over a month away from the end of the Olympics. Even if he continues to enjoy the afterglow of the glory he won in previous competitions during this time, I think most people will not have any objection and will enthusiastically support him.
However, he did not lose sight of his goal and path because of all the glory and honor. Instead, he quietly returned to his battlefield without anyone noticing.
With such a firm heart and such outstanding talent.
His success did not come out of nowhere, but had a solid foundation.
After all this time, I have to say that I admire him and every athlete who, like him, always maintains a firm heart and moves towards his goal, no matter he is at the bottom or at the top, no matter he is in the hustle and bustle of the world or in the silence of a remote place.
Thank you. It is because of you that we can discuss the glory of our country so enthusiastically on the Internet. 】
After this comment was published on Weibo, it was forwarded by many people one after another, and each forwarder attached his or her sincere gratitude when forwarding it - thank you, thank you to every athlete who brought us glory.
