Ever since the Dubai Prince's party, Zhang Guan had an inexplicable fear of alcohol. Even though He Yiming kept urging him to drink, Zhang Guan only took a few sips.
He Yiming's driver then took Zhang Guan back to the Temple of Heaven Apartment. According to the schedule, at three o'clock in the afternoon, he made an appointment to meet with the famous producer of CCTV to discuss participating in the performance of "The Same Song".
The "Same Song" large-scale singing concert on September 2 was the first official meeting between Olympic athletes and domestic audiences. CCTV hopes that all Olympic champions and some well-known coaches can come, and preferably sing. For this reason, CCTV has specially invited several big-name singers to partner with athletes. It can be said that even if athletes cannot sing well, they will have professional singers to back them up.
Liu Feiren is a famous Maiba, so he will naturally sing on the spot; the two tennis women's doubles champions also like karaoke and will perform on stage; in addition, all members of the women's volleyball team will participate in the chorus. Chorus is almost enough, even if it is It doesn't hurt to have one or two who only open their mouths but make no sound. Some other Olympic champions who were not good at singing were arranged to perform group singing.
Zhang Guan was originally planning to only participate in the chorus. However, as the most dazzling star in this Olympics, the producers of CCTV strongly requested Zhang Guan to sing a song in person. Even if it was recorded in advance, he would go there when the time came. Lip-synching is okay too.
Zhang Guan looked at the playlist provided by the producer. They were all songs such as "**" and "True Hero". Although they were suitable for the occasion, Zhang Guan was a little at a loss as to what to do. These songs are familiar to everyone, but with Zhang Guanqian's perspective of more than ten years ago, he really doesn't want to sing these songs.
"These songs don't seem to be suitable for me." Zhang Guan was about to refuse CCTV's request. He thought it would be better to mix in the chorus team and be a Mr. Nan Guo who only pretends to be good at singing.
Realizing that Zhang Guan was about to refuse, the producer immediately handed Zhang Guan another list and said, "Why don't you take a look at this again. This is the list of invited singers. You can choose a partner at will and they will be with you when the time comes. , just let the singer sing the lead."
Zhang Guan looked at the list carefully and found the name of the famous rock singer Wang Feng.
"It turns out Wang Feng will come too!" Zhang Guan said softly.
"Yes, how about you sing a duet with Wang Feng." The producer thought for a moment and then said: "Wang Feng just released a new album a few months ago, and one of the songs "Flying Higher" was sung on our show However, the reverse direction is very good. You happen to be a 100-meter trapeze artist, how about singing this song with Wang Feng?"
"'Flying Higher'? That's fine, but I can't sing the high notes." Zhang Guan said with a smile. He usually prefers Wang Feng's songs, which are mainly inspirational and uplifting.
Seeing that Zhang Guan agreed, the producer also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It doesn't matter if you can't sing high notes. Wang Feng's singing skills are among the best in the list of singers I have! And There will be a rehearsal tomorrow morning. If you really can't sing well, go to the recording studio and record it first, and we'll cut it for you. When it's time to perform, you just open your mouth and don't make any sound."
…
Later in the afternoon, Zhang Guan and Liu Feiren went to the Central Television Building together to prepare for the recording of the "News Living Room" program.
This is the second time Liu Feiren has participated in this show. Before the Olympics, Liu Feiren participated in the recording of this program. So he and the golden microphone host of the show are considered acquaintances.
Although Zhang Guan was here for the first time, he had watched this program on TV many times before and knew that the host of the program was a very wise person, and his interview style was also able to arouse the other party's interest.
In the earliest program, the host and guests sat on stools. Now, the program team has replaced the stools with red sofas, which makes them more comfortable and relaxing.
In the studio, the host said to the camera: "Hello viewers, welcome to "News Living Room". I am not sensitive to numbers, but there are two numbers like these, I think I will remember them forever. 12 seconds 91 and 9 77 seconds. 12 seconds 91, this is the time Liu Feiren tied the world record at the Athens Olympics; 9 seconds 77, this is the time Zhang Guan broke the world record at the Athens Olympics. So today our guests are naturally Liu Feiren and Zhang crown!"
The director switched the screen to a panoramic view, and all three people were included in the shot.
The host said to Liu Feiren: "You participated in this show more than 40 days ago. At that time, everyone celebrated your birthday and said 13 seconds 06. I remember writing it on the cake. This is your best result. I thought about this Can the Olympics surpass it
"I didn't think about it at the time. I estimated that as long as I crossed 13.06 seconds this time, I would be about the same for the gold medal. I never thought that I might break the 13-second mark." Liu Feiren paused, and then said: "But I am in I saw the moment when Zhang Guan won the championship on TV and saw him break the world record, and then I had an idea in my mind to break the 13-second barrier!"
The host turned to Zhang Guan and asked: "9 seconds 77, this is a new world record. To be honest, when I first heard this number, I felt happy and shocked at first, and then felt unbelievable and unbelievable. But after checking, I felt happy and shocked again. My mood was really like a roller coaster that day. You made a result that we couldn't even imagine before. So did you ever think that you could break the world record? "
"Yes." Zhang Guan nodded seriously, and then said: "I always firmly believe that I can break the world record."
"Why? What gave you such strong self-confidence?" the host then asked.
"In May last year, I was still an ordinary high school student and had never had any professional sports training. Two months later in July, I broke the national record, and two months later, I broke the Asian record. Zhang Guan paused and then said: "It took me two months to go from a beginner to a national record holder; from a national record holder to an Asian record holder, it took me two months; and in After that I had 11 months to train and prepare, so I’m not surprised to break the world record.”
"It sounds like this is an arithmetic problem." The host smiled and then asked: "I'd better ask the most newsy thing first, how does it feel to be back home? Let Liu Feiren talk first!"
"It feels great to be able to return to my home country. Although it is very tiring, it is still great." Liu Feiren said.
"What about you, Zhang Guan?" the host then asked.
"I feel the same as Liu Feiren, but I have to add that my arms are a little sore and I have been practicing calligraphy recently."
"Practice calligraphy? Why? Is it for signing?" the host asked.
Zhang Guan nodded: "I'm not good at writing, so I have to sharpen my skills quickly, otherwise the signature will not look good and it will be too embarrassing."
The host continued: "Speaking of signatures, I have to ask Liu Feiren about the most important signature. When signing on the lens of our camera, was it impromptu or prepared?"
"I was asked to sign, but I didn't think of it. Just signed my name, and I signed it. Looking back now, I think it didn't feel right, it was too slippery," Liu Feiren replied.
"This is the first detail. Also, when receiving the award, everyone saw that Liu Feiren was too silent and thought he was not excited. Unexpectedly, you jumped up as soon as the name was read. This was well prepared." The host said. Speak up.
"Yes, I thought at that time, let's do a novel move. I was thinking about jumping on the national flag, draping the national flag, and spinning around." Liu Feiren said.
"But when I saw Zhang Guan receiving the award, he seemed really calm?" the supporter asked Zhang Guan.
"It's like this. After Liu Feiren's final match, the awards were given out two hours later. But I was in the finals the day before, and I didn't award the award until the next day. The excitement was gone." Zhang Guan answered.
"But I watched the video of the game after you won the championship. It seems that the excitement level is not very high. There are no violent celebrations. Many viewers have questions, are you usually a quiet person?" the host asked. road.
"The final was the last game that day, and it was two games on the same day. In the semi-final two hours before the final, I defeated Maurice Green of the United States, and then followed the final. I was actually quite tired. The final was over. By that time, it was already twelve o'clock in Athens. To be honest, I was a little tired and sleepy." Zhang Guan said.
"Indeed, two two-hour matches are very exhausting." The host nodded: "Then let's talk about a question that everyone is very concerned about. Everyone knows that the two flying men are very handsome, and they want to find girlfriends for them. This question I You have to ask Zhang Guan first, although you are only eighteen years old, many of your peers in the university have started falling in love."
"Yes, it's not easy to be a single dog! If the weather gets cold, it might turn into a sled dog!" Zhang Guan joked.
"Haha, our world champion is very good at telling jokes! Single? This new word sounds so exciting." The host then asked Liu Feiren: "Liu Feiren, you are over 21 years old and you don't have a girlfriend yet, so... Like hurdles, is this going to be a new hurdle in front of you?”
"I'll just treat it as a process..." Liu Fei said calmly.
When the subject of his girlfriend came up, Zhang Guan's mind suddenly flashed back to that night, that beautiful face and that enchanting strand of blond hair.
"I wonder where she is now?"
…
After finishing her day's training, Sharapova soaked in the bathtub and picked up the latest issue of the sports weekly Impurity.
"Inventory of the Ten Dark Horses of the Athens Olympics"
This title intrigued Sharapova. She found the article and read it carefully.
"TOP10, Zimbabwe women's 200m backstroke champion Coventry..."
Sharapova turned page after page, and there were examples such as Italy's Gariazzo's archery championship, Belarusian Nesterenko's women's 100-meter championship, the Iraqis advancing to the semi-finals, Oriental Deer winning the women's 10,000-meter gold medal, etc. One comes with a picture of an athlete.
"TOP2, the tennis doubles won the championship in a shocking way. This is the doubles of women's tennis. These two are Chinese. Who are they? I have never heard of them! They must have never participated in a Grand Slam. This is really heavenly. Big upset. I don’t know who the first upset is.”
Sharapova turned to the next page, and a photo of a yellow athlete came into her eyes. It was Zhang Guan. The title is "TOP1, Miracle!" The new world’s number one trapeze artist! 》.
"Oh my God! It's that guy!" Sharapova screamed.
