With the music playing, the first group of players stepped onto the ice rink one after another.
Before the official competition begins, each group of players will have six minutes of practice time. During these six minutes, each player's song selections will be played in sequence to facilitate individual practice.
In the ice rink, the condition of the ice surface will not remain unchanged all the time. The influence of temperature will make the ice surface different in softness and hardness. The actual ice surface effect will not be exactly the same in every game.
In this case, the six minutes of practice for each group before the game is particularly important.
Players can use this time to familiarize themselves with the ice conditions of this competition and adjust their condition.
But the six artists in the first group obviously didn't care about this. They regarded these precious six minutes as a fan meeting. After taking the stage, they skated in large circles on the ice and kept waving and interacting with the audience in the stands.
Qiu Zhengqing showed a funny expression and looked at his apprentice with a questioning look in his eyes, as if to say: "That's it?"
Chen Hua was a little embarrassed, rubbed his nose and complained: "This is not what I trained. I train the children from the provincial team every day. They are all taught by teachers found by the program team."
As he said that, Chen Hua glanced at Yu Zhi, who was standing not far away.
When Yu Zhi saw him looking over, he immediately approached as if he had received a signal and tried to get close to him: "Coach Chen."
Chen Hua nodded to him.
When Yu Zhi saw the stranger standing next to Chen Hua, he always felt that he looked familiar and couldn't help but ask: "Is this...?"
Chen Hua said vaguely: "It's an elder."
My own teacher paid a private visit incognito, and it was not easy for Chen Hua to introduce him casually.
Seeing that he had no intention of introducing him, Yu Zhi smiled and guessed that he might also be a coach.
Soon, the sixth practice was over, and the first player to take the field stayed on the ice while the remaining five waved to the audience and left temporarily.
The music started and he started performing.
It's much better than the hard steps on the ice before the training camp, at least that's what it seems to an outsider.
It's just that Chen Hua was used to seeing the smooth skating and good technical moves of the little kids from the provincial team. When he saw the performance in front of him, with his own teacher standing next to him, he felt a little on pins and needles.
Qiu Zhengqing saw his constipated expression and smiled: "Okay, I'm not a professional in the first place. It's good if people have the enthusiasm to go on the ice."
Chen Hua smiled bitterly.
The coach of the national team didn't dislike him, so how could he, the coach of the provincial team, dislike him.
Music and ice performances drove away the last bit of late summer heat. After the first group of six contestants passed, the atmosphere became more and more lively.
When Ji Yuheng came on the stage, this enthusiasm reached its peak, and cheers came and went.
"Next will be the last contestant of the second group, Ji Yuheng. His selection is adapted from the classical ballet - "The Soul of the Rose""
A banner with Ji Yuheng's face and name printed on it was held high by fans.
Ji Yuheng walked to the entrance of the ice rink, took off the sheath on his skates and stood on the ice rink.
He looked around at the audience and took off his training uniform jacket under the watchful eyes, revealing the slim red Costen underneath.
Fans instantly became excited.
"Ah ah ah Yu Heng!!"
"Mom loves you! Oh my baby, you have such a great figure!"
The Costen he wore was mainly in a low-brightness rose red color, and the clusters of rose embroidery on the neckline were lively and public, making him look like an aristocratic young man standing among the roses.
Ji Yuheng skated half a circle on the ice, smiled and waved in the direction of the banner, which caused another scream.
His eyes swept across the audience and Yu Nian backstage. Yu Nian was wearing headphones and closing his eyes, seemingly unaware that his performance was about to begin.
Are you afraid of being affected by yourself?
For a moment, Ji Yuheng wanted to put some pressure on Yu Nian so that he would not look too bad in the comparison between the two rose souls.
But once he stood on his own stage, his desire to win came up. It was a proud desire to win that was engraved in his bones and could not be ignored under his well-behaved appearance.
It's impossible to let anyone down, he wants to give this performance a perfect performance.
Ji Yuheng's eyes fell on the huge piece of ice he was on now, he calmed down his emotions and concentrated on it.
He skated to the center of the ice rink and made an opening move with his left arm on his chest and his right arm on his forehead.
The scene gradually became quiet, and the next moment, the music started.
In the camera, Ji Yuheng raised his eyes and showed a lively smile. His body was facing forward, and his two arms stretched naturally to both sides of his body. The blade of the knife cut across the ice and made an arc to the left.
Qiu Zhengqing raised his eyelids and said, "Not bad."
What he said was good was compared to the previous artists who appeared.
Ji Yuheng's movements and limbs are obviously more relaxed, and the smile and other expressions on his face also fit the music and can bring up the atmosphere of the scene.
It can be seen that he has a desire to express himself and has a certain degree of strength.
Chen Hua introduced: "This child has studied modern dance, has dance skills, has good flexibility, and can move freely on the ice."
Yu Zhi also echoed: "Yes, Yu Heng was the most outstanding one during training."
It can be seen from the feedback from the audience that they were pleasantly surprised by Ji Yuheng's performance.
His performance really outperformed all previous players.
Compared with other skaters who have stiff transitions on the ice, he feels much less stiff when skating across the ice, and the smile on his face is quite contagious.
The audience couldn't help but applaud along with the rhythm of the music.
Ji Yuheng's arm movements and footwork choreography are based on the male dancer's performance in the ballet "Soul of the Rose". At this moment, gliding on the ice, when he turns around, he looks like a lively, incipient teenager.
.
When he made a small jump on the ice, the audience screamed.
This is the first time in this game that a player dares to leave the ice with both feet at the same time.
Ji Yuheng felt the coolness of the ice under his feet and the warm atmosphere of the scene, with a proud and intoxicating smile on his face.
His costume was designed and cut by a well-known designer, and his movements were personally designed by his mother, who came from an art troupe. He is in perfect condition today.
No matter what, this is a masterpiece on ice.
He rotated and finished at the end of the music, making the ending movement of stretching his arms.
The soul of the rose has left the girl.
Qiu Zhengqing commented: "The footwork is very rudimentary, but the gliding is okay, and the performance is good if you have a foundation in dance. If it can boost the atmosphere of the scene, it is a good performance."
Yu Zhi next to him looked a little proud: "Yes, it's great to be able to show up like this."
Regarding today's completely amateur figure skating competition, Qiu Zhengqing did not criticize the skaters, and the comments from him were all positive and positive.
But Chen Hua knew his former teacher and coach, and knew that his salty tone and calm expression meant that these performances did not impress him.
With sweat on his face, Ji Yuheng listened to the thunderous applause from all around, bowed repeatedly, and left the ice rink amidst the applause.
After putting the sheath on the skates again, Ji Yuheng couldn't help but look at Yu Nian's position when he raised his head, only to find that he still had his eyes closed, wearing headphones, and moving to relax his muscles.
He didn't even watch the performance he just performed.
This realization made Ji Yuheng frown slightly and feel a little unhappy.
Ji Yuheng was the last one to appear in the second group. After his show ended, he was in the last group.
When the third set of six exercises was announced, Yu Nian opened his eyes and put his headphones aside.
He walked to the entrance of the ice rink, took off his knife sheath, and stepped calmly onto the snow-white ice.
He will be the first player to appear in the third group.
The music sounded, and according to the order of appearance, the music that sounded first was Yu Nian's selection.
The sound of the music was somewhat familiar, and the audience was stunned for a moment, realizing that it was the same music as Ji Yuheng's selection just now.
Also "The Soul of the Rose".
Did it hit the curve? One after the other, the collision was too coincidental.
Qiu Zhengqing smiled leisurely and said: "Two rose souls?"
Two rose souls.
In the sound of music, Yu Nian slid half a circle on the ice, unzipped his training clothes, took off his training clothes casually and put them at the exit.
When the gorgeous Costen was revealed, the audience opened their eyes wide and held their breath.
The well-tailored Costen fully reveals his slender and flexible figure. The waist is tucked in, and the fabric on the legs is close to the body. No flaws can be found, and the proportions are astonishingly perfect.
The Costen dress is a gorgeous, warm and flamboyant red. It is covered with layers of pleated and elegant white gauze, giving it a more elegant and dreamy feel.
The roses made of bead embroidery and pink diamonds that extend all the way down his neckline and shoulders are so full of charm, just like the rose bushes swaying gently in the breeze under the twilight light, beautiful and agile.
His gorgeous facial features and cold temperament combine to create a charm that makes people unable to take their eyes away, and the Costen on him perfectly highlights the advantages of his figure.
Everyone's eyes were attracted by the red figure on the white ice rink, and there was no trace of the red figure for the other five players who were doing the sixth practice.
"It's so beautiful, my God, who is this?"
"Yu Nian! I voted for him in the draft before. At that time, I thought he was pretty. But now I think, was I blind? Can he be called pretty?"
"I also wanted to ask if I was blind at the time. At that time, I thought he was too handsome and a bit vulgar. Wow, he obviously has such a good temperament."
"That waist, that leg..."
"It's so awesome. When it's over, I feel like I'm wandering on the edge of climbing a wall."
"But isn't his singing and dancing very bad? He didn't have any talent show during the audition. He was still dull and had no sense of variety show."
"I remember there was a video of him being scolded by the teacher for not being able to answer questions in the company's training room?"
"Seriously, what is talent or not? A face like this is enough to knock you off..."
Qiu Zhengqing changed his posture and stood slightly, leaning forward slightly.
Chen Hua knew that once the national team coach assumed this posture, it meant that he was interested.
Qiu Zhengqing praised: "This young man has perfect proportions, but it's a pity that he is a little taller. He must be 180cm tall, right?"
The figure skater's figure must take into account both mechanical and aesthetic requirements. The upper body must be thin, the lower limbs must be long, and the overall body must be slender but with tight muscles.
There are specific quantitative standards for arm length, shoulder width and hip width. Qiu Zhengqing has seen so many athletes and can tell at a glance that Yu Nian's figure perfectly meets these proportional requirements.
The only drawback is that he is a little taller. Figure skaters are generally shorter, so they can better maintain their center of gravity. But this is not a big problem. There are not many men's singles figure skaters over 180 in the international competition.
After hearing his comments, Yu Zhi couldn't help complaining: "He hasn't come to training very often. He is so squeamish that he has sprained his ankle and rested at home for many days. I don't know if he has practiced skating well or arranged the songs."
Didn’t communicate with me.”
Chen Hua frowned slightly: "So uncooperative?"
Yu Zhi nodded and wanted to say a few more words, but Yu Nian had already skated in a big circle on the ice rink.
His posture seemed too relaxed, and the blade cut across the ice smoothly and silkily.
Qiu Zhengqing glanced at Yu Zhi: "This skating is very good."
Chen Hua frowned and nodded: "The use of the blade is very standard. The gliding posture is really good, but I don't know how the footwork is."
Yu Zhi also saw that Yu Nian was gliding with ease, and he closed his mouth in embarrassment while being confused.
The live voice sounded through the sound equipment: "Yu Nian. His selection this time comes from the ballet "The Soul of the Rose". He will be the first to appear in this group of competitions."
Yu Nian was skating on the ice, and there were five other skaters on the ice who were also adapting to the ice and interacting with the audience from time to time.
Yu Nian could only see the ice beneath his feet and the music to his ears, which made his figure look a little indifferent.
When his minute of music was about to end, Yu Nian raised his eyes.
He has determined the conditions on the ice.
The ice surface is complete and the softness and hardness are appropriate.
Qiu Zhengqing and Chen Hua were communicating in low voices. Looking at Yu Nian from the corner of their eyes, they saw him rising into the air after a period of assist sliding.
What are limits? The reason why limits exist is to break them.
Assist skating, cushioning, taking off, flying and falling on the ice.
Use the right back outer edge to glide, use the left front outer edge to push off the ice, and turn with your arms tightly in front of your chest.
At the moment when the music belonging to Yu Nian ended, his skate fell steadily on the ice, and the blade splashed ice flowers.
Chen Hua and Qiu Zhengqing stood up together, their expressions changed drastically.
The audience was stunned. Most of them were not ice fans and did not often watch figure skating competitions.
So I didn’t understand the meaning of this jump, I just thought it was so cool, so powerful, and so beautiful.
Yu Zhi lost his voice the moment Yu Nian jumped out, and he suspected that he was hallucinating.
A jump...how many weeks?
"3a!" Qiu Zhengqing breathed rapidly and his chest heaved violently, "It's 3a!"
