Because the provincial sports team was not very close to Su Zhe's home, Su Yinsheng did not go home for lunch at noon. Instead, Su Wanqin invited Shao Xingchen to have lunch with her, and then let Su Zhe send his "friend" away.
After watching Shao Xingchen say goodbye to him, Su Zhe suddenly received a call from Chen Cheng.
"Su Zhe? The filming will start tomorrow, why haven't you come back to sign the contract yet?"
As the agent of Lemon Entertainment, Chen Cheng is also responsible for the specific contract signing work with potential players and the follow-up work for some players who withdrew from the competition.
Su Zhe was stunned. When he woke up this morning, because the shock of rebirth was so great, he forgot to call Chen Cheng first to mention his withdrawal.
"Sister Chen Cheng, I'm sorry. I've discussed it with my family, and they still don't want me to enter the entertainment industry. I'm going to withdraw from the competition. I'm sorry that I had something else to do and forgot to inform you in advance."
Chen Cheng was also a little surprised on the other end of the phone: "Why don't you consider it again? Or should I come to your house and discuss it with your parents? You have a great appearance and your popularity is high. Although you lack professional skills in dancing, singing, etc., you can make up for it later."
Su Zhe has always known that Chen Cheng was indeed optimistic about him and cared about him very much, but with his life starting over again, he really doesn't plan to go back to his old path in the entertainment industry this time.
After thinking for a while, he said to Chen Cheng: "It's like this, my family is a sports family, and I also have a certain talent in competitive sports. Whether it's from their perspective or my own perspective, I plan to go the sports route in the future. This time participating in the talent show was an accident, and I also experienced what I wanted to experience. Next, I will seriously carry out sports-related training and go the professional sports route."
It was only then that Chen Cheng found out that Su Zhe's family was a sports family. To be honest, if Su Zhe continued to participate in the talent show, it would be a big gimmick. However, judging from Su Zhe's serious tone, he was indeed ready to withdraw from the competition.
Although it felt a bit regrettable, Su Zhe was just one of the potential players she had her eyes on. After confirming that Su Zhe was going to withdraw from the competition, Chen Cheng said, "Then you should come to the training camp again tomorrow. You know, every player who withdraws will have a final farewell solo. The dance teacher already has the solo selections. You can learn and prepare. After recording your farewell solo, it can be considered a complete journey."
This is indeed a common practice of this talent show, and it also makes it appear more humane.
"Okay, I will be at the training camp on time tomorrow morning."
After hanging up the call with Chen Cheng, Su Zhe looked at the time and saw that it was almost time, so he sent a message to his mother, then took the subway and headed towards the figure skating center.
The figure skating training center in City S is a large-scale ice sports training center that was recently built. Because City B successfully applied for the 2022 Winter Olympics, provinces and cities across the country have attached great importance to the training and selection of talents for ice sports, and have begun to prepare seriously for the supply of talents for the 2022 Winter Olympics.
Su Zhe's second uncle is the deputy director in charge of the S City Figure Skating Training Center, named Li En.
The Su family, whether it is Su Yinsheng's relatives or Su Wanqin's relatives, have a very good relationship with each other. They are all in the sports circle, and they can often help each other. The more they interact with each other, the better their relationship becomes.
Li En is also an elder who has watched Su Zhe grow up since he was a child. He has always known that the boy from Su Wanqin's family is good-looking. When Su Zhe was a child, he joked and asked him if he wanted to practice figure skating.
Although figure skating is a competitive sport, it is one of the competitive sports that is implicitly based on appearance - this appearance refers to the appearance and temperament of the athlete.
Figure skating is both a competitive sport and an art on ice. In competitions, it is scored into technical points (t points) and program points (p points). The choreography, expressiveness and beauty of the athletes' overall program on the ice are important criteria for the judges to score p points.
In this event, the subjective judgment of the judges will have a certain impact on the final score of the contestants. For ordinary people, the advantages of the contestants in appearance and temperament are also influencing factors that make people willing to appreciate and carefully watch a contestant's program.
Therefore, compared with other competitive sports, the selection of figure skaters takes their appearance into consideration.
Of course Li En knew what Su Zhe from the Su family looked like. If Su Zhe had said three or five years earlier that he wanted to practice figure skating, Li En would have been very happy. Su Zhe's appearance and temperament would definitely be enough to attract the attention of the audience and judges on the ice.
But now...
Su Zhe is now 18 years old, and many figure skaters start training at the age of **, and begin to achieve results in various younger age groups in their teens. For figure skaters, 18-year-olds can be said to be in the prime of their life. Boys at this stage have good body flexibility and certain strength, and can perform well in both jumping and artistic performances.
But if you start learning figure skating at the age of 18...
Li En could only regard it as a sudden and nonsensical idea of the younger generation in the family. Didn't he hear that Su Zhe had participated in some talent show these days?
Young people of this age always have changing ideas day by day. Perhaps they don’t know enough about figure skating yet and just want to give it a try.
For Li En, it is no big deal to bring a younger generation with whom he has a good relationship to the figure skating training center to play, or even to find a coach to try to teach him so that he can experience the sport of figure skating. If Su Zhe really wants to become a figure skater, then he will probably have to go home and have a good talk with his wife, and let her talk to her sister Wanqin to see how to convince the child without hurting Su Zhe's feelings.
With this thought in mind, when Li En received the message from Su Zhe, he immediately got up and left the office and went to the figure skating training center to pick him up.
"Azhe, here." Li En saw Suzhe from a distance, called him loudly, and waved at Suzhe.
After he saw Suzhe, who was originally leaning sideways, completely turned around, Li En couldn't help but be stunned - this kid, who hasn't been seen for a few months, has grown even better. Not only in appearance, but also in temperament, he has lost the youthful student flavor of the past. Now, even if he is placed in a crowd, he will definitely be able to make everyone see his appearance at first sight.
This look, this temperament...
No wonder when Su Zhe accompanied his classmates to sign up for a talent show, the staff persuaded them to sign up together. With a look like this, who wouldn’t say he has the looks of a natural star?
That's the height...
Li En glanced at Su Zhe who was approaching him and said, "Zhe, have you grown taller in the past few months? You are over 175cm now, right?"
Su Zhe was stunned for a moment. He just felt that he had shrunk in height, but he forgot that he grew from 174 to 177 in his senior year of high school. In fact, he took a short step taller.
When Su Zhe heard Rean ask this, he knew what Rean meant.
Sure enough, after seeing Su Zhe nod, his second uncle looked hesitant, but still said to him seriously: "Azhe, male figure skaters should be within 175 cm tall. If they are too tall, they will easily bend when jumping..." After a pause, Li En seemed to think that Su Zhe didn't understand the term "bend", so he switched to plain language: "That is to say, if the athlete is too tall, it is difficult to perform difficult jumps, and it is easy for people to fall when jumping..."
As a person who has learned the full set of jumping movements in the sand sculpture system, Su Zhe certainly understands the theoretical reasons, but he did not say much, just smiled and said to Li En: "Director Li, I know."
Hearing Su Zhe's address, Li En smiled and shook his head. When the people in their family met, they kept official business and personal matters separate, and even when addressing people, they used different names according to the occasion. So the children in the family were also used to addressing each other like this.
He patted Su Zhe's shoulder and said, "Okay, you are still a child, just call me second uncle. Come on, I will take you to meet the coach of the men's singles team."
Li En brought Su Zhe all the way to the figure skating training hall of the figure skating training center. This time was not the ice training time for the figure skating team. He originally thought that most of the team would be in the land training hall. Unexpectedly, after entering the training hall, he saw the head coach of the figure skating group and several other coaches were all in the ice hall, along with several young members of the team.
In addition, there was another person - the head coach of the national figure skating team, Cui Yi.
Seeing Cui Yi, Li En patted his head and thought, okay, Cui Yi came to the figure skating training center in S Province today to pick people. He had already reserved Chen En from the team. Now he should be looking to see if there are any other good seedlings in the team.
"Oh, A-Zhe, I'm sorry." Li En shook his head: "Today, the head coach of the national figure skating team came to the training center to select people. I forgot about this. I'm afraid it won't be over so soon. How about we wait here? Or should my second uncle bring you here next time?"
Su Zhe didn't expect that he would see acquaintances when he came to the training center today, and there were two of them at once.
Seeing Cui Yi and Chen En, two old acquaintances he hadn't seen for many years, Su Zhe felt some emotion.
"It's okay, Second Uncle, I'll wait here, you go and do your thing."
Seeing that Su Zhe was standing at the edge of the ice rink and seemed quite comfortable by himself, Li En nodded and walked towards where Cui Yi and the others were. It would be unreasonable for him not to come out and say hello to Cui Yi and the others since they were already here.
"Coach Cui, welcome. I'm sorry I didn't go to receive you in person." Li En smiled and shook hands with Cui Yi while speaking.
The head coach of the figure skating training center, Wei Mingcheng, and several other coaches also nodded to Li En. Li En was a good person and did not play any tricks. He always had a good relationship with the coaches.
Cui Yi naturally knew Li En, and after greeting him with a smile, he said, "How can it be that a great driver has come to visit? Just now, Old Wei said that I am the Japanese invaders who have entered the village and have only stolen their treasures."
As soon as Cui Yi said this, everyone laughed.
Li En shook his head: "What do you mean the Japanese invaded the village? It is our responsibility and honor to be able to provide talents for the national team." After saying this, Li En smiled and added: "If you need anything, Coach Cui, you can come and sweep a few more times!"
This is also the truth. Come and check around a few more times and discover more figure skating talents from Province S. These are the achievements of their Province S figure skating training center. Although these players will be sent to the national team, they still belong to the provincial team of Province S. They are all their exported talents, and if they achieve results in the future, they will naturally have a share of the credit.
They chatted for a while, then quickly turned their attention back to business.
Before Li En and Su Zhe arrived at the ice arena, Cui Yi had already seen several team members from the S Province Training Center. However, apart from Chen En, a promising prospect whom he had long had his eyes on, Cui Yi did not see any candidate among the remaining team members that particularly excited him.
Wei Mingcheng and others nearby also noticed that Cui Yi was not very satisfied with the rest of the team members. In fact, these team members were all good talents, but Chen En stood out too much among them. With the comparison with Chen En, they would naturally be more picky about the remaining talents who were not good enough.
Although Wei Mingcheng and others knew this truth, they could do nothing about the result.
After watching the performances of all the players, Cui Yi thought about it and said to Wei Mingcheng and others, "I have a general understanding of the situation of these players. I will think about it for two days and let them prepare. After two days, I will watch the performances of everyone else except Chen En."
He came to the figure skating training center in Province S this time with certain expectations in mind. Ideally, he hoped to bring two team members back to the national team.
Wei Mingcheng understood the situation that the others were worried about, so he decided to review everyone's performance again in two days. By then, he could put aside the influence of Chen En and review the performance of these team members more objectively.
Cui Yi's decision made Wei Mingcheng and others very happy. It can be said that this decision is good for both parties.
After the main business was solved, everyone present was in a good mood to start thinking about other issues. So Wei Mingcheng looked at Li En with a smile and said, "By the way, Li, what brings you here at this time? I see you brought a child with you."
Li En originally didn't want to bring up this matter in front of so many people, but it would be good to change the atmosphere now, so he smiled and said, "His name is Su Zhe, he is the son of my wife's sister, my nephew. You should also know his father, Su Yinsheng from the sports team."
When Su Yinsheng's name was mentioned, everyone immediately knew him.
As the most famous coach in the domestic sprinting events, he has been staying in the S Province Sports Team for a long time, which is something that many people are amazed at. Many people are discussing when Su Yinsheng will be forcibly called up to coach the national team.
"Azhe is a little interested in our figure skating and wants to learn it and see if there is any future for it. So I am bringing him to you, Old Wei, right?"
After hearing what Rean said and looking at Suzhe's age, everyone roughly understood that Suzhe probably didn't have much idea about the age and difficulty of figure skating training. Rean's protective meaning in his words was also very obvious, so everyone knew what Rean was thinking.
Seeing that everyone understood, Li En felt relieved and turned to wave to Su Zhe, asking him to come over and say hello to Wei Mingcheng and others.
When Su Zhe approached and saw his appearance and figure, everyone was stunned. Even Cui Yi's eyes lit up, and then he secretly regretted it in his heart - this child is really handsome, but it's a pity that he is a little old and too tall.
"Hello, Uncle, Coach Wei, Coach Cui, and all the coaches."
At Rean's suggestion and introduction, Su Zhe greeted everyone present one by one.
Perhaps it was because Su Zhe had good looks, before Wei Mingcheng and the others spoke, Cui Yi couldn't help but speak first: "Little guy, are you interested in figure skating?"
Su Zhe heard Cui Yi's voice and nodded with a smile: "Yes."
In his sports career before his rebirth, whenever he felt a little bored in the training space, he would change his mood and practice shooting and figure skating.
In addition to the initial ice jumping skills, he later took other figure skating-related courses and gained a deeper understanding of the sport.
It's a pity that after he retired from track and field, at his age at the time, he had no problem continuing to show his talents in shooting, but he never had the chance to experience figure skating in real life.
This time after being reborn, he didn't dare to expose his sprinting ability to his father right away. Secondly, the stupid system that always tolerated him also gave him a goal task to try figure skating.
Before officially embarking on track and field events, he might as well try out the thrill of sliding and jumping on ice.
Cui Yi looked at Su Zhe's eyes and continued, "Did you know how to skate before?"
Su Zhe blinked and said with a smile, "Yes."
"Then...why don't you try it on the ice? Let me see how you skate."
This conversation sounded unexpectedly familiar.
Suzhe nodded with a smile, then turned to look at Lien and asked if he had any spare training skates that he could borrow. After getting a positive answer, a team member next to him took him to the storage cabinet at the back to pick up the spare skates.
When Su Zhe returned to the ice arena again, he had already put on his ice skates and changed into black figure skating training pants, but his upper body was still in a white T-shirt.
Compared to the players around him, his height when he put on ice skates was already taller than most figure skaters. The black training pants wrapped around the skates made his legs look even longer.
Apart from anything else, such body proportions and appearance are indeed enough to attract the audience's attention on the ice.
Under everyone's attention, Su Zhe took off the skate covers and stepped onto the ice rink.
Cui Yi frowned as he watched Su Zhe gliding easily on the ice, then signaled the staff on site to play a random song.
Although the staff did not understand Cui Yi's meaning, they still did as asked.
The moment the music started, everyone saw that although Su Zhe on the ice was still just skating, his rhythm seemed to have changed!
"Is he... playing together instinctively?" Wei Mingcheng looked at Su Zhe on the ice, a little surprised.
As Wei Mingcheng spoke, the others also noticed the change in Su Zhe's skating rhythm, and they all showed surprised looks.
This instinct, this sense of rhythm...
This is truly a talent that many people can only dream of!
The author has something to say: _(:3∠)_ Lie down, today’s Caicai is a heroic Caicai who has fucked 13500!!!
Wow wow, after reading everyone's suggestions and thinking carefully, I feel that I won't be able to cover that much content in the second part, mainly because I'm not familiar enough with the scoring method and various technical movements of figure skating. But I should try to write a longer extra chapter...
Let me figure out how to divide the volumes, and then see how much I can write about figure skating... (If I can keep writing... cough cough cough, I'll try my best!)
By the way, the update on Sunday will probably be late. Caicai has a dinner party tomorrow at noon, so the update time will be around 4 or 5 pm_(:3∠)_
