Chapter 498: Third place in city-wide fencing competition
"It's so funny that Shi Xi didn't make a domestic movie, so he went to work as a tutor outside, just to suffer this injustice?
How many people watched this variety show for Shi Xi? Who had the highest number of views in the first episode?
Who should be used as the cover? Doesn’t the program team have an idea?"
"Since you don't want to show Shi Xi, then don't show Shi Xi in the trailer and cover!
I want to get views, but I don’t want to give Shi Xi a shot. It’s really both important and upright.”
Fans can't stand the grievance.
They wanted Shi Xi to be a mentor, but they didn't want Shi Xi to be a stepping stone for others.
How many seconds are there in each episode after being outside for three months?
Then it would be better not to film this variety show!
Before Shi Xi watched the second episode, she received a greeting from her friend Tao Yuxuan.
She clicked on the second issue and looked at it, and found that it really only had a few seconds of footage.
Shi Xi did not expect that the director would be so cautious.
There were almost no scenes of her in the second episode.
There was only a few seconds of footage at the beginning, and then there was no more footage of her in the entire second issue.
Shi Xi became a little angry when he thought that the timing of his recording was so weird, but there was no footage.
Tao Yuxuan consoled him: "It's okay, foreigners are xenophobic."
Shi Xi:【……】
Probably because she offended the director.
Just because I didn’t drink!
As for that?!
She couldn't believe that she could be denied the camera all this time!
Shi Xi looked around on the Internet and found that after the second episode of the program was broadcast, "thetop" received negative reviews.
The controversy over her lack of scenes accounts for part of it.
But more people are discussing the variety show itself.
In the second issue, Philomena cried aggrievedly because she received too much attention and was under too much pressure.
She is beautiful, but when she cries, her tears fall one by one, which makes people feel sad just to see her.
"My baby, don't cry, I'll give you the tickets."
"Mina, if you don't cry, you are the best!"
"Ah, I feel so sorry for my Mina, I really want to hug her."
"..."
[Why are you always surrounding Philomena? I know she is the top of the first issue, so there is no need to spend one hour of the two hours about her, right? 】
[Mina won the top spot in the first issue, is there a problem with having more shots? 】
[I just said that this is a 50-person draft. Now let’s start saying that Mina’s first scene is fine, nb.]
[There are many shots of players from country m. Is this a preference for nationality? 】
【...Shh, I don’t dare to say such things.】
【……】
Not only that, but someone also specifically counted everyone's shots in the first and second issues.
The first period is the first stage. Everyone has a stage and self-introduction, but you can’t see clearly yet.
But with such statistics, you can see who has more shots.
Philomena.
But Philomena, who cried because she was injured, has attracted many fans.
…
There is a lot of noise online.
Meanwhile, Shi Xi lay in the villa and wasted away his time.
The door to the villa was opened, and Ron came to the door.
"I'll come over and drive." Ron was surprised when he saw Shi Xi at home: "Don't you want to record this afternoon?"
Shi Xi: "No need."
Ron's eyes lit up and he suggested: "How about I send you to Shi Chen's company to have a look?"
Shi Xi thought for a moment, "Forget it, let's not disturb his work.
You tell me where I can go shopping here, and I’ll just find a place to go shopping.”
Ron immediately said: "Then let me accompany you. I know all the malls here."
"This..." Shi Xi hesitated, thinking about how to reject Ron.
Ron saw Shi Xi's expression was indifferent and showed no interest, so he said, "You are Shi Chen's sister. Just because of this, I will entertain you well. Don't think too much about me."
Shi Xi laughed awkwardly when his worries were revealed, "No, I'm just not used to shopping with unfamiliar people."
Ron thought for a moment and then said: "If you don't want to go shopping, how about doing something else? Do you want to see fencing?"
Shi Xi was startled for a moment and asked, "You know how to fencing?"
Speaking of this, Ron had a hint of pride on his face and said, "I practiced for a while and was the third runner-up in the city's fencing competition."
"That's awesome." Shi Xi became a little more interested and said, "I haven't seen fencing live yet!"
Speaking of his areas of expertise, Ron said with a confident smile: "I happen to have nothing to do in the afternoon, so I'll take you to see it. You can watch my fencing practice, and I can teach you simple moves by the way."
Shi Xi nodded and said, "Okay!"
She is actually very interested in Western fencing, but she has never had the chance to get in touch with it.
I don’t know how similar it is to the swordsmanship in ancient martial arts.
After eating, Ron took Shi Xi to the fencing practice hall.
Shi Xi had learned ancient martial arts, so naturally he was also exposed to swordsmanship.
However, this is different from fencing abroad.
After a long evolution, fencing has become a traditional sport.
After entering the fencing practice hall, Ron took him there to change clothes with ease, and also picked a sword for Shi Xi and said, "I can teach you a little bit, just practice with me."
Shi Xi hadn't picked up a sword for a long time. When he saw the sword in his hand, he felt a little emotional.
Although it is different from what I have used before, I still can't help but want to swing it a few times.
After changing into equipment, the two of them went to a separate training room.
Ron said: "I will teach you a few simple movements first, and you can follow me."
Shi Xi humbly asked for advice and watched Ron's movements carefully.
Different from traditional Chinese swordsmanship, in fencing, foil swords and epees are completely thrusting weapons. Only thrusts with the sword tip are effective, and horizontal strikes with the rapier are ineffective.
So the introductory exercises that Ron taught Shi Xi were to move forward to thrust, and to retreat to dodge.
But the advantage of this kind of sword is that it is very light.
Shi Xi made a few gestures, missing his old sword a little.
But then she thought about how troublesome it was for her just to lift the sword in those years, so she stopped thinking about it.
After Ron taught Shi Xi a few moves, he found that Shi Xi mastered it quickly, and couldn't help but praise a few words: "You mastered it very quickly, and the moves are very standard!"
Shi Xi smiled and said: "I have practiced a little before, so I can master it relatively quickly."
Ron suggested: "How about we try to fight?"
Shi Xi nodded happily, "Okay, this is just stabbing the body with the tip of the sword, is that enough?"
"Yes, the foil sword is a completely stabbing weapon. It is only effective when the sword tip hits, and the rapier is ineffective. The effective part to hit is the torso, which is where I wear the metal suit." Ron introduced to Shi Xi:
"The electronic instrument next to it can distinguish effective and invalid hits."
Shi Xi thoughtfully asked, "So, if the sword stabbed your hands and legs, it was an ineffective attack?"
Ron: "In foil, it's like this."
"That's so boring." Shi Xi blinked and said, "You just have to hit others on the wrist, so that you can check and balance them as quickly as possible!"
