"Are you Lou Cheng?" Shu Rui opened her mouth slightly, believing that if she were drinking water, she would have squirted out without any image.
How come a silly boy who was clearly a stranger in the interview last year suddenly became the main force in the Songda Martial Arts Club trials? He must have the strength of a first- and second-level amateur, right?
Could it be that I really made a mistake?
But after one year in Taiwan, I mainly competed in martial arts. I had seen less than 100 local masters and famous people, and some of them were more than 50. How did Lou Cheng look like him before, with his silly appearance?
The surrounding students of the martial arts club were also talking about it. Unexpectedly, the classmate who was easy to get along with, easy to talk to, and attentive enough in giving guidance turned out to be one of the main members of the martial arts club. It’s really hard to tell what a person looks like!
Seeing that the reporter didn't believe it, Lou Cheng laughed and said, "How about I go get my student ID card and show it to you?"
"Ah? Uh..." Shu Rui recovered from the shock, and suddenly felt that this was a very interesting material, and excitement immediately emerged, "No, can this kind of thing still be deceiving? Wait and ask Shi
Doesn’t the coach know everything about you? Lou Cheng, I feel like you have quite a story, can I do an exclusive interview with you?"
Lou Cheng didn't really want to be exposed in front of the camera, so he made an excuse and said, "But now it's training time..."
"It's okay, classmate Lou Cheng, you can accept the interview. If our school's martial arts club has a master, it's worth publicizing." The teacher from the Propaganda Department next to him advised.
Shu Rui pointed to the weight room: "How about this? I'll help you apply to Coach Shi. If he doesn't agree, then you can find another opportunity later."
"Okay." Lou Cheng decided to say hello to his master first and ask him to refuse the interview.
The group of people immediately moved their positions and rushed towards the strength room, leaving Cai Zongming standing there blankly, "sadly" muttering to himself:
"What about the interviews we agreed on?"
…………
After entering the strength room, Lou Cheng quickened his pace, approached Old Man Shi first, and said in a low voice:
"Master, there is a reporter who wants to interview me, please help me block it."
Old Man Shi chuckled: "How great would it be to be interviewed? As long as you can keep improving, there will be many similar things in the future. You have to learn to deal with the media. Anyway, your experience of improving from scratch will definitely be good in the future.
If someone digs it out, why not take this opportunity to speak out on your own initiative."
Lou Cheng listened thoughtfully, nodded slightly and said, "Okay then."
When he walked to the corner of the strength room with Shu Rui, the cameraman and others, he subconsciously glanced at Yan Zheke and saw the girl looking here with a smile, her eyes watery, and she made a cheering gesture.
His heart warmed, and his resistance to the interview faded a bit.
"Classmate Lou Cheng, relax a little. Let's just treat it as a casual chat between friends and a normal lesbian relationship." Shu Rui is no longer a newcomer to the workplace who has just left school. Her interview skills are already proficient, and there is no hint of any awkwardness at all.
Lou Cheng wasn't nervous. Anyway, it was just an exclusive interview for a local TV station. If he didn't perform well, not many people would see it. He said with a calm smile: "I'm very relaxed. Reporter Shu, you can start now."
This was a temporary interview. Shu Rui had no way of preparing an outline in advance. She could only use her brain and say based on her on-the-spot performance: "You are a freshman, right?"
"Yes, I just joined the martial arts club when I was interviewed last year." Lou Chengduo said.
Shu Rui nodded, and with the help of this pause, his thoughts quickly turned, thinking about the next question: "Before you joined the martial arts club, did you have an amateur level of strength? Did you improve very quickly during this period?"
"Before joining the martial arts club, I was just a pure enthusiast. I had never been exposed to any static stakes, training techniques, or fighting techniques. As for my strength, I might not be able to beat a goose." Lou Cheng learned online during this period.
There is a term called "the power of a goose", which is said to be a reference to the power unit in some novels.
His humor was not appreciated by Shu Rui. The reporter girl had the same dull expression as the camera guy, and she blurted out: "Half a year ago, you were a novice? Not even a ninth grade amateur?"
"Yes, I only officially started practicing martial arts in the past six months." Lou Cheng answered truthfully.
After all, Shu Rui is a reporter who has experienced many battles and recovered faster than the cameraman. She took a breath and said: "In other words, it only took you half a year to grow from a pure newcomer to the main force of the martial arts club?
Uh, how many levels of strength do you have now?"
"I haven't decided on the product yet, but I estimate that it is at the quasi-professional level. I plan to directly participate in the professional ninth-level product selection competition at the end of April." Lou Cheng said modestly.
"From a pure newcomer to a ninth-level professional in half a year..." Shu Rui felt excited about getting big news, and her brows and eyes were filled with excitement, "Are you the reincarnation of the Living Buddha?"
"No." Lou Cheng shook his head in denial.
"So you are gifted?" Shu Rui's tone became brisk.
Lou Cheng thought for a while, nodded and said: "After I officially came into contact with martial arts, I discovered that I have a talent for static skills. It only took a short time to maintain a samadhi, and my physical strength is several times better than that of normal people."
."
In terms of details, he made slight modifications.
"Will you be able to embrace Yuan Shouyi soon? Then it's easy to get started with your static stance. Once you get started with the static stance, everything else will become easier with twice the result." Shu Rui, who specializes in interviews related to martial arts, understands the meaning of static stance very well.
"Yes." Lou Cheng said with a smile, and added sincerely, "And it happened that the school invited Coach Shi to be the instructor. He is a knowledgeable person and taught us a lot of static stakes and fighting techniques.
With this accumulation, I can improve day by day. Before the regional competition, I probably had the strength of an amateur ninth grade, but the gap with others is still quite big, and I can't even be a substitute."
Shu Rui smiled slightly and said: "No wonder you were not on the list last time. What happened next? How did you become the main force of the martial arts club?"
"I kept practicing until the winter vacation. Because the martial arts club's sparring stopped from the divisional competition, I was a little unclear about my own level. I was thinking about finding an opportunity to gain some practical experience. Later I heard about it from Coach Shi.
There was a small martial arts competition called the 'Phoenix Cup', so I asked him to get the invitation letter and went to Yanling to participate." Lou Cheng did not hide the matter of the small martial arts competition.
Shu Rui dropped her right hand in front of her lower abdomen and said with interest: "Did you set a goal for yourself when you participated?"
"It's decided, I hope I won't be eliminated in the first round. How embarrassing it would be!" Lou Cheng said in a self-deprecating tone.
Shu Rui chuckled twice and said, "What happened next? Which stage did the fight finally reach?"
"After reaching the top eight, I feel that I can gain a lot and improve greatly in every game. After this competition, I have truly become a warrior, from body to mind." Lou Cheng said with emotion.
"Top eight? Have you met any professional players?" Shu Rui said in surprise.
From the name, it doesn’t sound like an amateur level competition!
Lou Cheng said calmly: "I met three professional ninth-level ones. I lost one and won two."
"Huh, that's awesome! Then you are not just a quasi-professional level!" Shu Rui was shocked and admired.
"You can't say that. The two games won each have their own reasons. For example, one of them is a professional ninth-level player who has not played in a real battle for a long time..." Lou Cheng roughly explained.
In this kind of Q&A, the interview without an outline quickly came to an end. It only lasted about ten minutes, but it basically outlined Lou Cheng's story.
"Okay, classmate Lou Cheng, you can go back and practice. I'm sorry for delaying you." Shu Rui said with a smile.
"It should be." Lou Cheng said politely.
Shu Rui chuckled: "No matter what, I still have to thank you. I'm going to interview your coach Shi first."
Lou Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the team. When he passed by Yan Zheke, he heard her whisper: "That reporter Shu is so beautiful."
Simply speaking from the facial features, she is indeed very beautiful... Lou Cheng was about to answer this, when suddenly his heart moved and he instinctively said:
"Is it beautiful? I think it's pretty average."
Yan Zheke glanced at him: "Your answer is too false!"
"No, no, no, I really think so. It's probably because she doesn't meet my aesthetic taste." Lou Cheng answered seriously.
Yan Zheke laughed and said, "Hey, your aesthetics are quite special. Can you tell me what the person who matches your aesthetics looks like?"
Lou Cheng glanced at her, chuckled and said, "Guess."
Yan Zheke was stunned for a moment, then suddenly spat and turned to look to the side: "Who wants to guess!"
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lou Cheng couldn't say anything anymore, so he returned to the team and continued to train.
…………
Songcheng TV.
Shu Rui found her director and briefly told Lou Cheng's story.
Director Guo muttered:
"It's better not to air this interview for now. Let's wait until Songda Martial Arts Club can really go far in the selection competition before releasing it. Otherwise, like last time, we made a special episode and they turned around and were eliminated. What a waste.
Okay? Just mention it in the news this time that Songda Martial Arts Club will participate in the trials."
"Okay, let me flesh out the materials first." Shu Rui had long expected this outcome.
Returning to the second editing and editing room, she first answered her boyfriend's call, chatted for a few words, and then told her colleagues about short stories and various strange things she encountered during the interview. Then she turned on the computer, logged in to the search website, and prepared to enrich the story.
Relevant materials for the interview.
The first thing she thought of was the "Phoenix Cup" Xiao Wusheng Arena Competition. After all, Lou Cheng described the process of participating in the competition very briefly.
After entering these words in the search bar, she thought for a while and added Lou Cheng's name.
There was a clicking sound, and the search results were refreshed. She browsed the whole thing, not rushing to open them one by one.
"These are from the official website of the Little Martial Saint Arena... These are, eh, does Lou Cheng have a private forum?" Shu Rui whispered, opened the forum, confirmed the authenticity, and saw "The Long Night is Coming"
The two IDs of "Huanfan" and "Huanfan" were wallowing and acting cute, saying that if there was no more news about Lou Cheng, he would die.
Shu Rui couldn't help but smile. She seemed to be thinking of the days when she was a fan girl. She simply found the interview materials just now, edited a rough trailer, and then logged in with an ID that had not been used for a long time - "Wei Rui Zishengguang"
, posted a message saying:
“Preview of Songcheng TV’s exclusive interview with Lou Cheng!”
In the main building, she uploaded the edited video and then typed a line of text:
