"The first day of the competition is over. Come on, take a look and see where you guys are ranked."
Bai Yu randomly picked a restaurant and led Wang Hai and the others inside.
He sat down in the chair and then took out his phone to check it.
As a commentator for this competition, I have access to the rankings from the first day of the competition, which shows who is currently in the lead and who is ranked lower.
As for Wang Hai and the other contestants, they only know their own competition results at the moment, but not the results of the other contestants.
They won't know their rankings until after 10 p.m. The organizers will release the results at that time.
Bai Yu didn't need to worry about ordering food; he only needed to look at the results. He had originally invited Zhang Tao to dinner tonight, but the latter declined.
Then, there were only nine of them at the meal. Since everyone was family, there was no sense of restraint.
"Well, Ah Sheng's results are as I expected. He is currently ranked first, and he is quite far ahead of Ah Hai in second place, by a margin of fifty or sixty pounds."
Ah Sheng, if you perform normally tomorrow and maintain this result, the championship is very likely to be yours.
"Of course, Ah Hai, don't be discouraged. It's only fifty or sixty pounds. If you're lucky, you can catch a giant bluefish and catch it too. It's a very simple thing."
Bai Yu looked at the top two on the report card, and his smile was so hard to come by.
However, he still wanted to encourage Lu Sheng and Wang Hai separately, as they both still had a chance to win the championship. Although the gap between them seemed quite large, the situation was actually not that bad.
Just as Bai Yu said, a gap can't be called a gap if a big fish can make up for it.
"So, brother, who do you hope will win the championship this time? My Hai-ge, or my A-sheng-ge, or maybe you can choose one from among us?"
It was at this moment that Bai Yue quietly jumped out and dug a small pit for her dear brother.
Given the relationships among these people, this choice is actually quite difficult. They all get along well, so choosing one or not choosing any of them is fine, but at the same time, it's not ideal to choose any of them...
"Hmm, Yueyue raised a good question. Among you all, choosing who to favor is really not an easy question to answer."
However, if you asked me to choose someone I don't think much of, I could have a good talk with you about that. You would definitely be my number one pick.
Bai Yu looked at Bai Yue and said something very seriously.
It's hard to say who will be the champion, but when it comes to choosing who he doesn't think is the best, Bai Yu immediately gave his answer: Bai Yue.
It wasn't that Bai Yu looked down on Bai Yue; it was just that, judging from today's results, choosing Bai Yue was perfectly reasonable, as her performance was indeed the worst.
There are five of them participating in the competition today. Apart from Bai Yu, the other four are basically in the top twenty.
Lu Sheng and Wang Hai ranked first and second respectively, while Ke Ke ranked thirteenth, and Li Shuang was stuck in twentieth place.
Only Bai Yue is ranked thirty-seventh. Do you think Bai Yu should choose her?
Of course, Bai Yue's score only ranked relatively low within their small group; in the overall competition, it was still quite high.
A total of 125 contestants participated in this competition, and Bai Yue's ranking of 37th is already very good, surpassing the vast majority of contestants.
Besides, the competition has only been going on for one day, and there's still another day to go. Nobody can say for sure what the outcome will be.
......
The next morning at 7:30, Bai Yu and his group of nine set off from the dock and drove to the competition venue.
The weather was sunny just the day before, but after only one night, the weather suddenly changed and it started raining, and it hasn't stopped yet.
The rain has been falling since last night, and it's also accompanied by some wind, around force 5 or 6.
They initially thought the rain would stop after a while and wouldn't interfere with the competition the next day, but who could have known that the rain still hadn't stopped by the end of the night?
The key point is that, under these circumstances, the organizers did not say that the competition was canceled, so Bai Yu and his group naturally had to rush to the competition venue.
"Brother, the weather forecast says that due to the typhoon, there may be rain and strong winds all day today, and it may even turn into torrential rain and storms. Do you think the competition can still proceed smoothly today?"
They received the news early this morning that the rain and wind were due to the typhoon.
"It shouldn't be a big problem. Didn't they say this typhoon is heading towards Japan? We'll just be affected a little here, but the overall impact won't be significant."
"Let's hope so. There's only one day left in the competition. Hai Ge and Sheng Ge have a pretty good chance of winning. It would be such a shame if the competition were canceled."
"It's alright. The organizers haven't sent any messages, which means the competition can still proceed as normal. Don't worry about it."
Unlike Bai Yue and others who were worried, Bai Yu seemed to be in a good mood, which might be related to the fact that he wasn't a contestant.
He's just a commentator. When the game starts, he has to stay in the commentary room. Whether it's windy or rainy outside doesn't really matter to him.
The only impact is that the footage of the game might not be very clear, since it was raining and raindrops can affect the camera's view.
Furthermore, drones are not very useful in rainy or windy weather, so cameramen will probably have to carry the equipment and shoot at close range.
The inability to use drones will definitely affect the broadcast footage. If there aren't enough shots, it will also affect Bai Yu and Zhang Tao's commentary.
After all, there are more than a hundred contestants in this competition, but the organizers are not going to arrange more than a hundred cameras to broadcast it live.
The smooth transitions between shots the previous day were all thanks to the drones. Those drones fly in the sky, providing a very wide shooting angle. With just a certain number of drones, all the contestants can be covered.
That won't work now; drones aren't allowed anymore.
After Bai Yu and his team arrived at the competition venue, the competition started promptly at nine o'clock.
Bai Yu and Zhang Tao also arrived at the commentary room and stared blankly at the screen filled with splashing water.
It wasn't that they didn't want to explain, but the weather wasn't very good today; it was raining heavily outside, and the fish weren't biting the hook very often.
Then, in addition, there aren't many cameramen, only about thirty at most, which can only cover about sixty or seventy contestants, leaving a small portion of the contestants uncovered.
The probability of catching fish was already not very high, and with half the contestants missing from the screen, the probability of catching fish became even lower, so Bai Yu and Zhang Tao naturally had nothing to do.
They would usually exchange a few words, explaining the players' actions, and then they would chat for a while to kill time.
Towards the end of the conversation, Bai Yu even started discussing the sport aspect of fishing with Zhang Tao, and how this sport differs from conventional sports.
This day's competition was extremely tough for Bai Yu and Zhang Tao, but it was a very enjoyable experience for the viewers in the live broadcast room.
As the saying goes, people's joys and sorrows are not shared. He and Zhang Tao were upset, but the viewers in the live broadcast room were happy. There is nothing more enjoyable than seeing others suffer.
The match ended at 5 p.m., and when the final whistle blew, Bai Yu and Zhang Tao both breathed a long sigh of relief.
Judging from Zhang Tao's performance alone, it's clear how difficult the day was. After all, he's a professional commentator, and he has professional ethics.
Even so, he felt tormented, so it goes without saying how Bai Yu felt.
When the final whistle blew, it meant the competition was over, and it was time to reveal the champion.
