Chapter 341 I'm Here
It is afternoon now, and there is still some time before evening.
Gu Qingge, alone, once again stepped into the long-missed China Arts University.
Anyway, she is still a sophomore at Huayi, but she must have many admirers among this year's freshmen.
Gu Qingge is indeed very famous in the entertainment industry now, and through this S7 solo show at the Bird's Nest National Stadium, her fame is not even limited to the country.
She has become a well-known legendary player in the e-sports circle. At the "Heroes of Glory" ceremony at the end of this year, it is estimated that she will be elected as "MVP of the Year" and "Most Popular Player" and other awards.
At the end of every year, there are many grand ceremonies, activities, carnivals, and annual meetings. With Gu Qingge's current status, which grand ceremony would not want to invite her?
She will even attend the annual online literature ceremony as the IP spokesperson for "Qidian". There is no other way, this is her own industry, so she naturally has to support it.
By then, the big names and platinum authors on the website will probably be so happy. If they can go on stage to accept the award from Gu Qingge, they can definitely brag about it for a long time. They can even get close to her backstage, ask for an autograph, take a photo, or even send her WeChat, which are all things they can show off.
Gu Qingge, walking on the campus, was wearing a sports suit, sunglasses on her face, and a racket casually on her back. If you didn't look carefully, you might not recognize her.
This is mainly because Gu Qingge rarely wears sports-style clothes, but even so, her temperament is still very eye-catching.
It can only be said that having too much charm is not good. She is like a firefly in the dark night, and she can't hide herself no matter what.
Some of the bolder and more outgoing students from the same school naturally came up to ask for autographs or something, mostly girls.
Gu Qingge is still very popular among girls, but boys rarely take the initiative, probably because they are not confident enough.
Some boys who had no classes in the afternoon and were bored chose to follow Gu Qingge for a while. Judging from her dress, she was obviously going to exercise. They were very curious about whether Gu Qingge had strong athletic ability.
Judging from Gu Qingge's dancing ability, she must be good at sports, but she rarely comes to the school playground to play various ball games.
It must be admitted that as a top art university in China and even in the world, Huayi has excellent hardware facilities.
Whether it is a gymnasium, a football field or a tennis court, their facilities are very complete and are maintained regularly.
On the tennis court, some students who had chosen "Tennis" were taking this course.
Huayi stipulates that every student must choose a physical education class in each semester. Some choose football, some choose basketball, and of course some choose tennis.
The reason for choosing this project may not be because I really like it, but because I was too slow and the registration for other projects was full, so I had no choice but to choose this one.
For example, football is very popular in this world. After all, it is a strong sport in the country. Many people love to play and watch football, so when choosing an elective, they naturally tend to choose it.
As for tennis, it is of course a niche sport. Many people just watch tennis matches as cloud players instead of playing in person.
The threshold for tennis is still relatively high. When you watch professional players playing on TV, you may think that it is just a ground version of table tennis.
But in reality, you will find that tennis is much more difficult to play than table tennis. Even serving the ball is difficult to do well. It feels like serving tennis has become like serving badminton.
It is also difficult to find an opponent who can receive serves. Two beginners playing tennis will definitely not have any fun and will just be picking up balls.
The tennis grading standard is as follows: the lowest grade is 1.0, which is for beginners (including those who are playing tennis for the first time), and it increases in increments of 0.5. The highest grade is 7.0, which is for international-level players who participate in international competitions and rely on prize money for their income.
The level of amateur players can reach 4.5 at most; the active players of the national (provincial) team are generally 5.0-5.5.
The teacher who teaches the elective course of tennis is named Zhao Dengyue. His level is about 3.0, which is the level of a senior tennis enthusiast.
Forehand: Has good stability and can basically control the direction, but still lacks depth in hitting the ball.
Backhand: Can prepare in advance and can hit a relatively stable medium-speed ball.
Serving and receiving: The rhythm of serving is beginning to emerge, but the stability is poor when serving hard, and the second serve is obviously slower than the first serve; receiving serve is relatively stable.
At the net: The forehand volley is relatively stable, the backhand is a little worse, and it is still a headache for low balls and long balls.
Characteristics: Can hit a relatively stable medium-tempo ball, but not every shot is comfortable. Still struggles to control the depth and power of his shots. Can hit relatively consistent high balls. Still not very active at the net and lacks strong attacking power at the net.
With this level of skill, there is no problem in teaching college students who take tennis as an elective for credits, but it just feels a bit boring.
After all, many students take this physical education class as an activity class, and Huayi is not a sports school, so they don’t pay too much attention to this course.
Therefore, Zhao Dengyue just taught the serve casually. Anyway, the final exam only tested serve and receive, which was very formalistic.
However, among these students, there was a boy named Rong Ma who was actually interested in tennis and was learning it very seriously.
He is also a sophomore and is in the same class as Gu Qingge. He is a student in the directing department. In his freshman year, he took tennis as an elective and fell in love with this sport.
He learned very quickly and also practiced privately. He truly felt the charm of this sport.
His favorite tennis player is naturally the "Sharpa" who has shown her brilliance in the tennis world. This female tennis player is the goddess in his mind. He thinks that she has both beauty and strength, and it is particularly enjoyable to watch her games. Although she is so beautiful, she plays tennis in a very wild way, just like an indestructible cockroach.
Rong Ma feels that with Sharapova's extremely powerful mental attributes, coupled with her unique physical attributes, it is only a matter of time before she dominates the tennis world in the future.
Looking at all sports, physical talent is definitely the most important reason why many athletes can become professional players, even in e-sports. However, when everyone's physical talents are similar, mental attributes are what determine the upper limit.
Some players become more excited and stronger when facing major competitions, while some players are just "kings of training games" and become weaklings when facing major competitions. They lack the will to win, which means that their mental attributes are not good enough.
"Shawa" is the kind of female tennis player with a very strong mental attribute, so when she was just starting out, she was able to defeat the strong with the weak and create all kinds of upsets.
At this time, Rong Ma was playing tennis with his tennis teacher Zhao Dengyue. The two of them were fighting back and forth, but Zhao Dengyue was obviously holding back. As a senior amateur, it was actually quite easy for him to beat an ordinary amateur like Rong Ma.
If we compare it to table tennis, it is like letting Ma return the ball. Basically, you just need to make sure the ball does not go out of bounds or into the net. If you want to hit a tricky return, you have to rely on luck.
But even so, Rong Ma is already a rare good player in this tennis class. With such a student, Zhao Dengyue can also demonstrate some tennis techniques to other students by playing with him.
When Gu Qingge arrived at the tennis court, she watched the two men playing tennis quietly. If Gu Qingge's previous knowledge of tennis was limited to "The Prince of Tennis", she might have thought that the two men played well, at least they played back and forth and in a decent manner.
But now that she was lucky enough to draw a master-level tennis skill card, she has become a top professional tennis player like a cheat, and it is not an exaggeration to call her a tennis master.
With her current perspective, looking at the back-and-forth competition between the two men, she naturally felt that their level did not even reach the "entry level".
"Entry level" is equivalent to the peak amateur level, which is equivalent to a 4.5 in the tennis rating of this world.
Forehand: Very confident, making full use of speed and spin, good depth control, and has aggressive return on medium-speed balls.
Backhand: Can control direction and depth, but will make mistakes when forced. Can add power to medium-speed returns.
…
Obviously, Zhao Dengyue, who is only at level 3.0, has not even reached the "entry level".
This also shows the power of the skill card that Gu Qingge drew from the system. Even if it is just a white entry-level skill card, once she uses it, she can beat ordinary people in this field.
After watching for a while, Gu Qingge no longer had the idea of finding an opponent to test his skills. The main reason was that in an art university like Huayi, there were too few people who had made achievements in sports.
However, just as she was about to try out the game in another place, tennis teacher Zhao Dengyue had just finished a demonstration with Rong Ma. Seeing Gu Qingge standing out among the students, his eyes lit up and he said, "Classmate, are you interested in tennis too?"
Gu Qingge was only interested in the tennis skill card she had drawn, but for the sake of her performance, she secretly loved tennis passionately and had loved it since she was a child, which was why she was so strong. Therefore, she nodded happily and said, "I like tennis very much. When I exercise, I like this ball game."
Zhao Dengyue was pleasantly surprised when he heard Gu Qingge's voice. "Are you Gu Qingge? Hello! I'm your fan, and I'm also your teacher for this tennis elective class."
Zhao Dengyue's appearance caused good-natured laughter from his classmates. In fact, at China Arts University, it is not surprising that young teachers are fans of their students. After all, China Arts University has many star students.
Of course, it is quite rare to find a star student like Gu Qingge who has become a top star in the circle by the time he is in his sophomore year.
Moreover, Gu Qingge did not rely solely on hype or financial backers to rise to the top. She relied on her own talent and her popular works that were sung all over the country.
This star who has works to her credit is very confident. Even if she is not as popular as she is now, people will not forget her.
When Gu Qingge heard the tennis teacher say this, she took off her sunglasses and responded with a smile, "Thank you, teacher."
The action of taking off the sunglasses and smiling slightly made many students stunned.
Although it has long been rumored on the Internet that Gu Qingge is naturally beautiful, even without makeup, her natural appearance is far better than that of some plastic surgery actresses after retouching.
However, many Huayi students are still skeptical about this, because they are very close to the entertainment industry and naturally know the difference between a woman with makeup and without makeup.
Let’s put it this way, the emergence of makeup and PS techniques has actually narrowed the gap between women of average looks and top beauties.
There is even a saying that has become a famous saying: there are no ugly women in the world, only lazy women.
Some women who are good at imitation makeup and have average looks really look like they can change their faces. The contrast between before and after makeup is so stark.
Most of Huayi's students are quite confident about their body shapes, but now when everyone sees Gu Qingge's beautiful and willful appearance without any makeup, that kind of confidence disappears without a trace!
"Gu Qingge's beauty is indeed not exaggerated, she is even more beautiful than in the camera!"
"She can make a living by relying on her looks, but she also relies on her talent. How can other female artists compare to this kind of female artist?"
"I'm so lucky today. I can actually see the elusive Gu Qingge at Huayi."
"It's over, it's over. This smile, I'm really in love. Should I muster up the courage to ask her for her WeChat?"
…
The above are the inner thoughts of the onlookers, and they are very real. After all, Gu Qingge rarely appears on the Huayi campus, and she is a very busy person now.
Teacher Zhao Dengyue didn't lose his composure. He was nearly forty years old. He said, "You look like you want to relax on the tennis court. How about I play a couple of games with you? I'm pretty good at feeding the ball."
In Zhao Dengyue's opinion, Gu Qingge is at most at the level of an ordinary amateur, maybe even not as good as Rong Ma, so he thinks he can just fight casually.
"Gu Qingge, let me play with you. Teacher Zhao just played with me and needs a break, but I feel like I haven't had enough!" Rong Ma took the initiative to suggest. "By the way, let me introduce myself. My name is Rong Ma, a sophomore in the Directing Department, in the same class as you, and a tennis enthusiast."
Rong Ma's initiative to challenge made the other boys present jealous. They thought that this guy was quite good at seizing opportunities, but unfortunately they really didn't know how to play tennis and had no way to show off in front of Gu Qingge.
Gu Qingge really didn't want to bully the weakling, but there's a saying that goes, "Since we're already here", it would be unreasonable not to play two games.
And she also has to establish her personality as "a tennis lover", just like "a game lover".
However, her "hobby" always makes professional players question their lives...
