If the "Fallen Watcher" during the All-Stars period was already a visual feast, then this version with a re-adjustment of the fall of heaven part has an even higher level of impact on people in terms of magnificence and beauty.
Such beauty makes people intoxicated and wish they could crawl at the feet of the dark lord forever and listen to his sinful teachings.
In the ten seconds or so after the performance ended, the audience all felt reluctant to wake up. Who would be willing to take their eyes off him?
The audience at the event, regardless of nationality or gender, must have a heart that can feel beauty, and they will be captivated by this beautiful figure.
In the live broadcast room of the sports channel, Lin Ya's voice also carried a hint of amazement: "During the national championships, I have watched Su Zhe's first performance of "Fallen Watcher". I didn't expect that in such a short time, he not only made major changes to the short program, but also adjusted the content of the free skate. In the first performance, in the part of the fall, Lucifer's inner transformation was expressed more through footwork and large-scale body movements. Through the struggle design in the footwork, the character's transformation from Lucifer to Lucifer was gradually completed, and the final transformation of the character was completed in the process of combined rotation.
This design is clever enough. The choreography and dance movements at different stages help Su Zhe complete the character interpretation at the corresponding stages. Spinning, jumping, etc. are used to solidify the character image or switch the image.
Under Su Zhe's interpretation, the previous version of "Fallen Watcher" has become a classic show performance.
But today's "Fallen Watcher" takes the classic a step further.
Before watching today's performance, I had not thought that Su Zhe would dare to make such adjustments again in the middle and late stages of the program, replacing the original spinning combination with a series of jump combinations, and moving the spinning combination that originally belonged to the "Falling from Heaven" part to the back, as a connection before the final "Devil's Parade" ending. This adaptation indeed enhanced the visual viewing effect, but it also greatly increased the test on his own physical fitness.
From his performance just now, you can hardly see the impact of this change in physical consumption on him, or in other words, he has concealed the fatigue brought about by the intense physical consumption very well. Looking back at the details of his performance just now, perhaps only from the close-up shots of the sweat on his forehead or the deeper squatting position when he jumped and landed on the ice can you feel the pressure brought to him by this modified set of movements.
Even if you notice these details, the strong character temperament and infinite charm he presents in his performance make you have no time to care about them, and you can only immerse yourself in the magical world he created for us.
Today, I can say with greater certainty that Su Zhe is already in a superior position in the artistic presentation of his works, even compared with the current top players in the world. He does not have to be limited to any one style. As long as he is willing, he can bring us unlimited imagination and possibilities.
I think this young man, who possesses first-rate skills and artistry, will soon create a whirlwind called "Su Zhe" in the world of figure skating."
Lin Ya's commentary was full of praise, and she even used the compliment "Su Zhe whirlwind." However, no one who watched Su Zhe's performance objected to such praise.
Many viewers couldn't even think of any better words to praise Su Zhe. Words like grand and feasting already seemed pale and poor.
In the performance just now, they even felt white and black wings entwined on the ice. From the moment the pure white archangel fell from heaven, this feeling of tearing purity apart made them tremble from the bottom of their hearts.
In the online live broadcast room, the bullet screen that seemed to be "cleared" during Su Zhe's performance finally came back like a tsunami after the show ended.
【Ahhhhhhh, I don't know what to say, I'll just say this in respect! 】
[QAQ Mom, I saw an angel and a devil. Today, the angel was gentler and the devil was more evil, but I like him so much... I also want to fall with the Dark Lord, wuwuwu...]
[Kneeling down before the Dark Lord, Your Majesty, can you see if I am kneeling properly? ]
[Kneel +1]
[Kneel down +2...]
The barrage that fills the screen shows admiration for the Archangel, but more of it is prostration to the Dark Lord. The Archangel's purity in the early stage perfectly sets off the darkness and splendor in the later stage, and this darkness makes people willingly surrender.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, the audience not only applauded crazily, but also ran quickly to the edge of the ice rink and threw the dolls in their hands onto the ice, gradually submerging the ice with the dolls.
After experiencing the previous doll rain, Su Zhe had gradually gotten used to this way of expressing love in figure skating. After bowing to the spectators around him, he saw a small doll that looked like a snow leopard being thrown in front of him. He had discovered before that perhaps because he was born in the year of the tiger, most of the dolls thrown to him by ice fans were tiger dolls of various colors. This snow leopard doll with black spots on its body was rare.
Seeing this snow leopard doll, Su Zhe couldn't help but think of his original nickname in Japan in his previous life, so he reached out and picked up the white snow leopard doll with a smile.
After seeing Su Zhe pick up the doll, the audience in the stands screamed excitedly. Among them, one voice stood out the most, shouting in surprise, "Ahhh, Su Zhe picked it up, that's the doll I lost!"!!!
When Su Zhe brought the snow leopard doll to skate to Cui Yi's side and followed Cui Yi to wait for the seats, a large number of ice children had already been sent to the scene to deal with the dolls that almost submerged the ice surface.
The staff in charge of labeling the players' baskets couldn't help but sigh: "Su Zhe can be regarded as the most popular player in our country right now, right? After yesterday's short program, he collected 5 baskets of baskets, and today will probably be about the same..."
The staff member who was in charge of cleaning up also smiled and said affirmatively: "Yeah, isn't it?"
Sitting at the waiting seat, Cui Yi patted Su Zhe on the shoulder, then handed him the energy-replenishing functional drink he had prepared, along with a tissue box, so that he could wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Today's free skating has indeed reached the limit of his physical strength. Although the large number of jumps arranged in the second half are gorgeous and dazzling, once the physical strength is insufficient, it is easy to cause problems such as missing jumps. Moreover, he did not reduce the difficulty of the footwork. With several items overlapping, the consumption of physical strength is even more serious.
Many people may not realize that although jumping is difficult, the gorgeous footwork also consumes a lot of physical energy of the athletes.
"You're still a bit too forced today." Cui Yi said to Su Zhe.
Others may not have noticed it, but in the last 3t jumps in the second half of the combination, Su Zhe's hands had already lightly touched the ice when he landed. However, he temporarily added a double-arm body movement under such circumstances, turning the ice-touching into a performance move that enhanced Lucifer's momentum.
If the audience did not know the original dance movement plan, it would be difficult to see the difference, but he could see clearly that there was a mistake, but it was cleverly covered up by Su Zhe.
He had been worried that Su Zhe lacked competition experience and would have difficulty adapting to the situation during competitions, but judging from his performance just now, his disciple should not have any major problems adapting to the situation. He just wondered how well he had memorized the BV score sheet. In the event of a jump error, could he think of how to calculate the points in time?
After taking a sip of the drink in his hand, Su Zhe smiled and nodded. His coach Cui was right. It seemed that he still needed to continue to strengthen his physical training.
In his previous life, he participated in track and field events. Although he also focused on physical training, in competitions like the 100-meter and 110-meter hurdles, the winning time is often only ten seconds. The athletes focus more on explosive power and corresponding sports skills in training. These two events are actually anaerobic sports.
Figure skating is different. It is a sport that combines aerobic and anaerobic exercise, which requires athletes to have sufficient physical fitness and endurance. You know, even if it is a short program, the performance time is at least about 2 minutes and 30 seconds, and free skating is even more demanding on physical fitness.
Moreover, based on the scoring rules of figure skating, if one wants to win a place in the world's top competitions, then the trend of shifting difficult movements to the back is inevitable. This means that only with sufficient physical fitness and endurance can one ensure that one's dance and technical movements do not become deformed, and only then will one have the spare time to make a more perfect artistic expression of the program in addition to the technique.
After thinking for a while, Su Zhe turned to Cui Yi and said, "Teacher, I think I should increase the proportion of aerobic endurance training."
During this period, he joined the national figure skating team and spent most of his time on explosive training and difficult movement training. Although Cui Yi also arranged some physical training for him, the proportion of it did not seem to be enough to support his subsequent needs for increased difficulty.
"Aerobic endurance training?" Cui Yi was stunned when he heard this. He knew quite a bit about physical training, but in the current overall training environment in the country, physical training and aerobic endurance training for figure skaters were not given much attention.
Most domestic athletes have not yet reached the level of technical difficulty that the physical strength stored in regular physical training cannot bear. Coaches have also focused more on explosive power and difficulty, as well as the athletes' artistic expression, which is a bit of a headache. After all, in figure skating, athletes need to master too much content, and it is inevitable that some parts of it are neglected in training.
He was a little confused by Su Zhe's suggestion at first, but he soon understood that, indeed, given Su Zhe's current technical level and the technical difficulty in the program arrangement, what he lacks now is not technical and artistic expression, but a stronger physical reserve and physical planning to enable him to make the best presentation in the competition more perfectly.
"Okay." Cui Yi nodded. "Your suggestion is correct. I will discuss it with Lao Wang and the others when I get back. I will also consult with the coaching staff to hold a meeting and see how we can arrange some adjustments to your training plan."
At the scene, the audience had no idea what Cui Yi and Su Zhe were talking about. Everyone was just looking at Su Zhe, who was sitting in an equal seat on the big screen. He was holding the little snow leopard on his lap, and occasionally rubbing the snow leopard's little head with his hands unconsciously. Such actions made the audience couldn't help but melt their hearts.
"Wuwuwu, what's going on? He still has his hair combed back and is wearing the Dark Lord's outfit, but now Su Zhe is sitting at the same table and is so well behaved that I just want to call him cub!"
"I really want to become that snow leopard doll and be held in his arms... The cub rubbing the snow leopard's ears is so obedient and cute! Wuwuwu, I can't take it anymore!"
Before the live broadcast, netizens couldn't help but take a screenshot of Su Zhe's camera. Seeing Su Zhe looking at the camera and smiling in the picture, they sent out various emoticons of covering their hearts and screaming.
On Weibo, the audience was still shouting for His Majesty Lucifer to live forever and were willing to be His Majesty Lucifer's running dogs forever. The next second, when the screenshot GIF of Su Zhe holding a snow leopard doll and smiling was released, the previous Lucifer party quickly changed sides and cried and shouted, "Baby, you are so good, mommy loves you so much."
[#Which Su Zhe do you pick? #It’s too difficult. It’s really too difficult to like our little Su Zhe. ]
A 'philosopher' girl from Su Zhe's family quietly posted a fresh topic and such a sentence on Weibo, and then the accompanying pictures were SL stage Zhe, Son of Wind Zhe, Wen Zhujun Zhe, Archangel Zhe, Dark Demon King Zhe and the freshly released Snow Leopard Zhe.
6 gifs, 6 completely different styles, and the differences between them are clearly discernible, which makes people have to admire Su Zhe's amazing performance. At the same time, there is a simple 6-choice 1 pick vote attached at the bottom.
Maybe it’s because there were already a lot of people paying attention to the CC competition and Su Zhe today, or maybe it’s because there have been a lot of topics related to Su Zhe in recent time, making people subconsciously want to know more about Su Zhe, or maybe this topic is really interesting, and the gif in it is beautiful enough to attract people’s attention.
In short, this topic and Weibo attracted a lot of attention and discussion in a very short period of time.
A large number of fans on Weibo who already liked Su Zhe, as well as those who knew or didn't know Su Zhe, were attracted by these screenshots and gifs. They clicked on them one by one, and then sighed that they could not believe that these were the same person.
In a very short period of time, this topic attracted tens of thousands of people to vote. There were surprisingly many people who liked various styles of Su Zhe. After voting, many people found that the 'Su Zhe' they picked was not much different from other 'Su Zhe', so they all forwarded the message with a smile and asked for support from their own homepage.
Before anyone knew it, this voting method and topic quickly appeared on countless people's homepages, attracting more and more participation and curiosity from passers-by.
[Ah, who is the little brother in this gif? So handsome! ]
[Su Zhe? I think I saw him before, but I ignored him... How could he be so versatile and good-looking? ]
While this forwarded topic on Weibo became increasingly popular and rushed to the top of the topic list, the on-site judging panel also gave the final score for Su Zhe's free skating.
Su Zhe (China), total score (TSS) 182.33 = technical score (TES) 96.79 + program content score (PCS) 85.54 (free skating p score multiplied by 2), of which the program content components are skating (SS) 8.35, connection (TR) 8.22, performance (PE) 8.97, arrangement (CO) 8.31, and musical expression (IN) 8.92.
When Su Zhe's free skating scores came out, the audience and ice fans were stunned at first, and then burst into crazy and excited applause.
182.33 points! This score has surpassed Amami Tsubasa, who has the highest score in free skating so far, and won the first place in free skating!
Although fans at the scene have been whispering since the scoring phase began, thinking that Su Zhe's performance today deserves first place, the pressure from the referee panel the day before and the still strict enforcement standards today, as well as the presence of world-class players such as Yuto Tsugawa, Igor, and Amami Tsubasa ahead, made them not dare to predict Su Zhe's final score too high.
Judging from the scores shown on site, Su Zhe's technical score is still lower than Tian Haiyi's, but the scores of performance and musical expression in P score are close to 9 points!
In today's competition with strict enforcement, the high score of nearly 9 points in a single event already shows the degree of recognition of Su Zhe's performance today by the judging panel.
Not only the judges, but also several second group players who watched Su Zhe's performance at the technical coaching booth were very impressed with Su Zhe's performance in this free skating.
This kind of visual beauty of technique and difficulty is also a visual drama for them.
After seeing the score given by the judging panel, they felt a little sad, but did not think that the score was unfair - such performance was worthy of the score from the judging panel.
So, as of this point, Su Zhe scored 182.33 points in the free skating and 83.11 points in the short program, with a final total of 265.44 points. He surpassed Yuto Tsukawa and Igor at the last moment and jumped to second place in the total score of this competition.
At the scoring table, Su Zhe saw the score, his eyes lit up and he smiled - this score was telling him that although his attempt today was risky, it was meaningful, and the judges' score was undoubtedly the best recognition of his performance.
When Cui Yi saw the score, he was more excited than Su Zhe. He clenched his right fist and waved it to celebrate this hard-earned second place result.
You know, in recent years, the best result of Chinese male singles players in CC has not reached second place. He really did not expect that his disciple, in his first appearance as a player selected by the Chinese Ice Skating Association, would be able to influence the scores of all players from being suppressed in points the day before, and get such a high score in today's free skating, winning a silver medal that belongs to him and the Chinese figure skating team.
Cui Yi smiled and hugged Su Zhe beside him. They both smiled and waved to the camera, then stood up and left the table.
In front of the live broadcast, countless ice fans who were waiting for the scores also exclaimed excitedly.
Many forum users in the Kingdom of Ice and Snow could not help but excitedly post congratulatory posts. One post congratulated and praised Su Zhe for his outstanding performance in this competition, and the other congratulated the national figure skating team for achieving the best result in the men's singles event so far.
In the thread discussing the scores, many forum users are still expressing their disbelief.
16L: [It's unbelievable. According to the scoring standards of the past two days, the judges were willing to give a high score of 182.33. Even if this score is placed on the usual scoring system, it is already a very high score! ]
19L: [Don't be surprised. After seeing Su Zhe's performance today, why would you be surprised that he got this score? Undoubtedly, he conquered the judges with his performance! The pure and beautiful Lucifer and the fallen Lucifer, they definitely deserve this score from the judges!!]
Not only in China, but also on Japanese Twitter and Japanese figure skating discussion boards, there are also discussions about today's free skating.
【I have seen this contestant Su's "Fallen Watcher" on the Internet before, but the version in today's CC competition is even more gorgeous and beautiful! From the moment I saw him until now, my heart is still pounding. I fully believe that if the Dark Lord appeared in front of me now and asked me if I was willing to fall into hell with him, I would immediately answer "You are my only God, I am willing." 】
[The broken Archangel Lucifer broke my heart. Everyone loves the Dark Lord, but the original Archangel was too pure and flawless. His footwork and rotations accompanying the melody of the hymn made me tremble. Such a solemn Archangel who yearns for light... I always feel that at the last moment, the Dark Lord descended, but deep in his heart, the Archangel still exists. His purity and yearning for the Kingdom of God also make the Dark Lord look cold and lonely. ]
【Everyone who follows me, please definitely watch this figure skating performance. I believe he must be a god on ice. He must have witnessed Lucifer's fall to be able to interpret all of this to us!】
Not only did the Sakura girls and Japanese ice fans publish a large number of essays on Japanese Twitter, but technical fans in the figure skating discussion board also began to discuss the skills and strength that Su Zhe demonstrated in this performance.
At the same time, Michiko, who was studying in China, also reposted the hotly discussed topic of "Which Su Zhe do you pick" on Weibo in China to Japanese Twitter with a screaming heart, which quickly triggered a new round of heated discussion and fanaticism.
In the domestic Ice and Snow Kingdom forum, when everyone was passionately discussing how Su Zhe conquered the jury, someone posted a rather funny thing.
[Speaking of which, last time Su Zhe was tricked into doing a show called "The Book and the Sword", so for tomorrow's show, can Cui Dahuo trick Su Zhe into doing a new show? =w=? ]
