A rare holiday.

When Sheger finished his daily training and dinner, he returned home, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.

As the most outstanding professional tennis player in Blue Star nowadays, she is also the most commercially valuable, but Xie Ge's life is like a hard-working monk. He doesn't like to smoke or drink, nor does he like to play outside. In addition to training and commercial activities that must be attended, he stays at home honestly, even more like an otaku than an otaku.

When he came out after taking a shower, the wall clock also happened to point to 7:30.

There are still two and a half hours left before the sleep time he set for himself.

How to pass this time before bedtime?

Sheg quickly thought of the new animation that Huaying promoted on Weibo not long ago. Because of Huaying's Sherlock Holmes series and Harry Potter series, he is also half a fan of Huaying's film. It just so happened that Huaying's animation this time is also a tennis theme, and she is idle around and idle. It's better to watch the movie "Prince of Tennis".

I didn't expect that as soon as he turned on the TV, he turned the channel to Xingning TV Children's Channel, and the phone rang here:

"Hey? Brother Xie? You won't stay at home again, are you? Let's go out together to gather."

Xie Ge was stunned for a while and soon realized that it was his teammate in Xingning Provincial Team, Yao Libei, who was speaking at this moment.

Xie Ge did not hesitate: "No, I'm watching TV at home, so I'll get together again if I have time."

This rejection is not clever, and it can even be said to be very unpleasant, but Yao Libei is not surprised. Instead, he became interested in the TV that Xie Ge said: "There are only those TV series coming and going now. What are the good ones?"

"It's not a TV series," Xie Ge said briefly: "It's an animation called "Prince of Tennis."

This name is no stranger.

Yao Libei soon remembered the outsider in the Weibo video not long ago who was said to be an ordinary tennis professional level. It is said that the man is also an animation director, he doesn't exercise much and has never received professional tennis training. But such a person has been recognized by Xie Ge.

To be honest, this made him feel quite unhappy. But he did not show this emotional expression, but said as if nothing happened: "Oh, you said that tennis animation, this is the first time I heard of sports-themed animation. It just so happened that I had nothing to do, so why not come to your house to watch it with you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Libei didn't reply to Xie Ge almost and said directly: "Then I'll make up for it. I'll come to your house now."

Without waiting for Xie Ge to refuse, he hung up the phone.

Yao Libei was not worried that he would be rejected by Xie Ge. As for tennis, Xie Ge is indeed worthy of the title of "the great devil", but in reality, Xie Ge's personality is a bit soft. If Yao Libei really went to Xie Ge's house, even if he was unhappy, he would probably not refuse.

As expected.

After seeing his arrival, Xie Ge frowned slightly, but did not say anything to drive people away. Yao Libei went straight to the living room and sat on the sofa without hesitation.

"Hey, it seems I'm coming just right."

On the LCD TV display facing the sofa, the main film of "Prince of Tennis" has begun.

Xie Ge is already a gentle person and doesn't have to say anything at this moment, so he has to sit on the sofa and watch TV, but his brows are still frowning.

This is a rather humble tennis venue.

Three standard tennis courts stand side by side, with several dense trees growing on the side of the venue. Behind them, there are Japanese-style houses and buildings. From time to time, there are tennis balls and floors collided. While the camera moved from the center of the court to the audience, the low-key discussion among the young people also sounded.

"Hey, have you heard of it? It is said that in the junior high school group under 16, there was a 12-year-old elementary school student participating in the competition."

"Primary school students participated in the junior high school competition? They must have registered wrongly, right?" Another young man said, subconsciously turning to the billboard not far away, which listed the entire list of the Kashikikizaka Youth Tennis Elimination Tournament. After paying attention to a certain line of words, he couldn't help but stare at a big surprise:

The animation's shots fell on the billboard and magnified accordingly. At the age of 16, another unique number appeared particularly prominent. It reads-

No. 48 Echimse Ryuma

(Individual, 12 years old)

"No, no! Is this person crazy?"

The animation footage is frozen here, and a second later, the op of "Prince of Tennis" also rang out.

"How can primary school students participate in the junior high school competition?" Yao Libei frowned: "This animation is too irritating."

Xie Ge didn't say anything, but his frowns were unconsciously stretched out. Unlike Yao Libei's disdain and disgust, Xie Ge felt that the plot was indescribable familiarity and intimacy - because seven years ago, he was attracted by his current coach because of a game against a boy three years older than him and brought him to the youth team.

Because of this kindness, Xie Ge even watched the opening film seriously.

As a sports-themed animation, the opening song of "Prince of Tennis" is undoubtedly full of youthful vitality. In addition, the characters appearing in the opening song are far more than the protagonist. In the short ops, there are not only the protagonist's scenes during the game and daily life during training.

These people should be the protagonist's teammates, right? I wonder what their personalities will be like?

Speaking of which, the "Ryuma Echizen" who participated in the junior high school competition at the age of 12 should be the protagonist of "The Prince of Tennis", right? Will he win this knockout match?

With such curiosity, Xie Ge ignored Yao Libei's complaints and continued to read.

After the opening song ended, the animation quickly got to the point.

The beginning was the game, but the beginning of the plot happened in the tram: the teenagers didn't care if they were in public places. At this time, they were waving their tennis rackets, and proudly demonstrated the "Western style of gripping". Of course, Xie Ge could see this wrong gripping method at a glance, and he smiled without realizing it.

The few people were boasting about themselves, but they were in pain. The little girl who happened to be sitting among them was embarrassed and almost got hit by a tennis racket. At this moment, a clear boy suddenly sounded:

"It's so noisy."

Several high school students were stunned. At this moment, the tram was shocked, and the tennis racket in one of them fell to the ground. The boy seemed to want to save his face and said a little embarrassedly: "It's so embarrassing. He was actually taught a lesson by the primary school student..."

Before he finished speaking, Echizen Ryuma raised his eyes and glanced at him and said lightly: "That's right. It's the right way to grab the racket from above like now. The way you just said that the grip was like a handshake is actually an Eastern way to grip."

The boy said, pressing his hat brim casually, getting up and getting out of the tram. He said without looking back as he walked.

"These two ways of holding are often confused."

Xie Ge's smile became deeper.

Although he has always been modest, he does not hate the arrogantness of those with strength. It can even be said that because of his gentle and soft personality, he admires a persona like Ryuma Echizen. A young man should be ostentatious, and his strength is his capital for confidence.

As of now, this protagonist, who is completely opposite to him, is quite in line with his appetite.

The plot of the animation continues to move forward.

The more Xie Ge looked at it, the more he felt that the rhythm of the animation was good.

Although he has not studied rhythm and other things, the animation in front of him looks particularly smooth. The protagonist Echizen Ryuma's character is also quite pleasing.

On the tram, the boy accidentally corrected the way several high school students held the slap, and also helped the little girl Sakura no survive. After Sakura no pointed in the wrong direction, which led to lateness in the competition and lost the qualification to participate, facing Sakura no, who said he was his fault, Ryuma responded bluntly: "Who else isn't you?"

However, when Sakurano asked to invite him to drink but had no change, Ryuma said nothing, but instead invited Sakurano to drink.

As for Sakurano thanking him for help on the tram, the boy tilted his head and said in surprise: "Are you on the tram just now?"

Xie Ge almost laughed out loud.

While the two were chatting, they didn't expect that the few people they met on the tram had heard their conversation right away. The high school student in the lead even turned the drink can in the direction where Longma was. The empty drink can fell on the floor and made a bang. After thinking that he had taught Longma a lesson, the few turned around and left.

"Hello."

Accompanied by the boy's voice, several high school students subconsciously stopped. Behind them, the boy slowly picked up the drink can on the ground and threw it back into the trash can, and said slowly: "Have you learned how to hold the beat?"

"What did you say?!"

At this moment, the boy turned around, raised his hand and pressed the brim of his hat. He stood quite lazy, with a clear curve on the corner of his mouth. He looked straight at his dark golden eyes, but his voice sounded unspeakable: "Look, let me teach you tennis now."

Needless to say, the ending is, the character who is obviously a cannon fodder villain is naturally beaten by the protagonist to teach him how to be a human being.

The plot is quite exaggerated, but Xie Ge is enjoying it. Yao Libei is the opposite of him. Seeing that the high school student was beaten by the primary school student's protagonist, he was immediately dissatisfied:

"This plot is too outrageous, right? Elementary school students play tennis with high school students, but the primary school students beat high school students? What a joke?"

Xie Ge didn't care: "It's better to have a good animation."

"It can't be designed so embarrassingly," Yao Libei complained: "I thought there was something extraordinary about this painting. It turned out to be as superficial as those TV series that were scammed outside. The plot is simply unrealistic. Isn't tennis so good? Isn't it misleading the audience when I release it?"

Xie Ge said, "I think this animation is very good. Compared with other sports, tennis is much less popular and is far less popular than basketball and football. This animation is aimed at children. Of course, it must be done enough to attract audiences to have a greater impact and attract more people to play tennis."

He said that it is necessary to have such a plot to attract audiences to like tennis itself more easily.

What's more, the other party is a painting.

As the first animation work after "Harry Potter", Xie Ge does not think that Huaying will treat it casually. Or rather, it is precisely because it is a Huaying work that Xie Ge has some special expectations. For example, if this tennis animation has caused enough response, is it possible to bring a different popularity to the popular tennis circle?

Xie Ge is from an extraordinary background. He is devoted to tennis and does not value money or other things. But it is undeniable that athletes are an industry that makes a living by youth.

As a professional tennis player, most of his friends and teachers are either professional players or professional coaches. If possible, he certainly hopes that the tennis circle can attract more attention and that professional tennis players can become more valued. In this way, everyone's treatment will be better. Even if players retire one day and have the money they have saved before, their lives will be easier.

With Mu Suxing and the ability to paint movies, of course, you can make a rigorous and sophisticated tennis animation, but what is the significance of this niche self-sports animation that cannot be popularized among ordinary audiences?

Unexpectedly, Xie Ge, who has always been gentle, would refute him without hesitation this time. Yao Libei was stunned for a moment. He wanted to refute the other party, but when he met those deep and silent eyes, he subconsciously closed his mouth.

Xie Ge looks a bit like a big devil on the tennis court.

The two of them parted in disagreement since then, but Yao Libei became more and more angry when he returned home.

First, Xie Ge inexplicably praised an amateur player for his excellent tennis skills - after all, that person was just a corner marketing campaign, and he thought there was something really amazing. Just take the outrageous plot in this animation, who knows whether the tennis video was synthesized in the later stage.

He was feeling unhappy, and at this moment, a push about "Prince of Tennis" suddenly appeared on his Weibo homepage.

Yao Libei stared at the push for a few seconds.

With the indescribable shame and annoyance in his heart, he forwarded the Weibo post without thinking and wrote down his comment:

Yao Libei v: I thought I could see surprises, but I didn’t expect that I could only be frightened. I don’t know what to say, but I hope that some companies can respect tennis more when doing related topics. Although our circle is cold, it is not like this that people are ruined.

Weibo soon jumped out of the notice of successful posting.

However, for some reason, for a moment, Yao Libei suddenly felt guilty, for some small thoughts that only he knew, and for what Xie Ge thought was that the ethereal and illusory possibility—

“…has a greater impact and attracts more people to play tennis…”

Yao Libei shook his head and immediately threw this idea behind his mind.

A children's animation has set off a tennis craze?
