Chapter 219 Falling from Grace: Sorry, I'm Afraid of Death
Everything is ready, except for the east wind.
Unlike the four-meter challenge, these two buildings are also quite tall, reaching a height of about eighteen meters.
Standing on the edge and looking down, you can see people, but they look no different from ants.
These are the two most accurate replicas the assistant could find.
In his view, if you're going to take on the challenge, you should be as faithful to the original as possible. Only in this way can you generate buzz and shut up those fans of the Dragon and Tianyi.
Once Pingying Tianxia (a popular film critic) leaves, her fame will be fully established. As a blogger with tens of millions of followers, she can earn tens of millions of yuan in endorsement fees every year.
This challenge was absolutely worth it.
Inside the live stream, everyone was engaged in a heated discussion.
"That distance just now scared me; people with a fear of heights tremble at the mere sight of it."
"The difference between eight meters and four meters is huge. No wonder he's so popular. I wouldn't dare to jump."
"I finally understand what the behind-the-scenes footage was about. At this height, no safety measures are effective. If you really jump, you will definitely die."
"It's hard to imagine how the dragon managed to do it back then. It wasn't like it is now; there were all sorts of protective measures."
"How did you do that? Didn't Long say it was very simple? Just close your eyes, push off with your feet, and jump. Either you succeed or you end up in the hospital."
"Regardless of whether Pingying Tianxia succeeds this time, I will watch the Dragon movie again. At the beginning, I felt really frustrated and had no desire to continue watching."
"I'm so confused. My whole body was trembling while watching this. How come you guys were able to fall asleep? Have you been exposed to so many trashy movies in China? Can't you watch good movies? The fight and chase scenes at the end got my blood pumping."
"I don't know, I haven't gone to see it yet, but based on this jump, I'll make time to go see it."
"Stop spamming the screen. The guy from Pingyingtianxia has reached the edge. He's surveying the terrain. Is he about to jump?"
"My God, the camera followed his gaze, I was completely numb, it was so far away, it was terrifying to look at."
"..."
Various discussions appeared in the live stream, while Susan waited silently, watching the screen.
A gentle breeze, which should have brought warmth and renewal to all things, instead brought a chill to the film review site.
His gaze first fell on the opposite side, then moved closer and closer, and finally landed on his feet.
Eight meters, which is about five times his height. Can he jump five times his height in one go?
Even though he was wearing all sorts of safety gear, he still felt unsafe.
Don't jump, it's dangerous.
This is a signal transmitted to him by his brain, and even more so, a signal transmitted to him by his entire body.
Standing on the professional take-off device, the running distance is about five or six meters, which looks far, but in reality it only takes a few seconds.
The assistants and media remained silent, watching as Pingying Tianxia walked onto the stage, their eyes glued to the camera, recording this historic moment.
Tap tap tap.
The film review site was abuzz; everyone, from the onlookers at the scene to the viewers in the live stream, held their breath and watched him intently.
His jumping technique was unprofessional and somewhat amateurish, but no one cared about that at the moment; their attention was entirely focused on his feet.
His movements became faster and faster, and he got closer and closer to the diving board. Towards the end, everyone's breathing became slower and slower, and even stopped altogether.
Did he jump?
I'm about to jump!
Time seemed to stand still.
Space seemed to freeze.
However, when they were less than a meter away from the diving board, Pingying Tianxia suddenly braked and came to a stop.
He took a deep breath, seemingly trying to calm himself down.
Then, they cheered themselves up and headed back, which relieved everyone but also left them somewhat disappointed.
After a short while, Pingying Tianxia, having warmed up his body, became determined again, with dozens of cameras pointed at him.
The audience's hearts were in their throats again, watching with even more tension than he was.
Tap tap tap.
Finally, he charged toward the pedal again, his steps heavy yet powerful.
Thump.
Just as everyone was eagerly anticipating his jump, Pingying Tianxia suddenly stopped.
At this moment, he was less than half a meter away from jumping.
But he stopped.
What is he doing?
This sentence popped into the minds of countless viewers.
If the first time was due to a lack of preparation, then why didn't they jump the second time?
The assistant looked at Pingying Tianxia with suspicion and uncertainty. No one urged him; they were all looking at him with doubt.
Finally, Film Review World came to an end.
Yes, we didn't go back, we came down.
His face showed a hint of composure, and also a hint of relief.
"Sorry everyone, we're not jumping anymore."
Before the assistant could even speak, Pingying Tianxia uttered this statement.
A sentence that left everyone present speechless.
"Why?"
This is a problem for the assistant, but also a problem for millions of people.
"Because I'm afraid of dying."
Feeling is one thing, but actually going up there is another.
He tried twice, and both times he was defeated by his own will.
Every time he was about to jump, the eight-meter distance seemed like an insurmountable chasm.
He can no longer empty his mind and let his body take the lead.
Because he was afraid that once he let go, he would be completely empty-minded.
While running, he thought about many things, the one thing he couldn't understand the most was why Long dared to jump such a long distance back then.
