Chapter 14: Fearless
The so-called fearlessness of those who do not know is Shu Ran.
When she entered the ice rink and saw the performance of Chihara Haka, she realized that the person standing on the ice was not an ordinary 22-year-old girl, but a star athlete who had stood on the podium countless times.
Whether it is footwork or spinning, or the jumping that Shu Ran is good at, Zhiyuan Yexiang has done it very well.
Belus, who was carrying dessert, stopped to admire the figure on the ice, with an appreciative smile on his lips, and said something, which could not escape praise and praise.
Qin Liubei: "Belus said that such an excellent player should not have won the Winter Olympics." ”
Shu Ran nodded, agreeing with this statement.
Even though Haka Chihara has won championships in various competitions, at last year's Winter Olympics, everyone thought she would definitely win the gold medal, but she did not perform well and only won the bronze medal in the end.
Fu Yiqing said: "Sometimes the game is not only about strength, but also about luck, and psychological factors are also very important. ”
This sentence seemed to be said to Shu Ran, and she took a deep breath to change her skates.
Belus has already watched Shu Ran's training videos and knows what level of strength she is.
Belus led Shu Ran to the side of the ice rink to teach alone, and Shu Ran could feel the gaze from the other end that had not been withdrawn for a long time.
It seems that Chihara Haka has noticed Berus.
Belus said: "The short program taught today is Tolstoy's work "Resurrection", have you read the book?"
Shu Ran shook his head, and Belus recounted the main content of the novel in simple words.
Shu Ran's English was not very good, and Qin Liubei acted as a simultaneous translator on the side, but fortunately, Bellus didn't say too much and started teaching.
The short program is often 2 minutes ± 40 seconds or 10 seconds, and the technical difficulty is not high, only requiring the program to contain seven movements, so for Shu Ran, it is not too difficult to learn the short program, but the difficult thing is the performance of the short program.
Resurrection tells the story of the aristocrat Nekhlyudov who was obsessed with the maid Maslova and abandoned her when he was a teenager, and the two met in court many years later, Maslova became a prisoner, and the protagonist became a member of the jury, the protagonist believes that Maslova's experience was caused by his own abandonment, in order to clear her name, the protagonist began a process of continuous appeals, although in the end Maslova was still exiled, but the two finally chose to sacrifice their freedom in order to make each other better, and obtained their respective resurrections.
Berus first showed Shu Ran his choreography, and the second time he danced and explained.
"You have to imagine yourself as Maslova, you were born out of wedlock, and now you are being framed because of this man, you hate him, you don't want him to be redeemed easily, and you will not accept any kindness from him, including helping you appeal. The performance in this section is very vivid and intense......"
Although some dance movements have not been learned, footwork and jumping are basic techniques, so Shu Ran memorized the composition of the movements and immediately got started.
However, because the music is unfamiliar and the rhythm in front is too fast, Shu Ran can't keep up with it, and the story is not fully digested, so he doesn't perform very well.
Belus was very patient, "First follow what I teach, and when you can keep up with the movements, you will add performances, and then you have to incorporate your own thoughts on the whole story." ”
Shu Ran nodded.
Belus went to drink water outside the court, and Shu Ran's afterglow noticed that Zhiyuan Yexiang also slipped out of the field.
I saw that she walked up to Belus and didn't know what to say, both of them laughed, and Belus gave Chihara a hug.
"Shuran, don't get distracted. Fu Yiqing, who was outside the court, shouted.
Only then did Shu Ran retract her gaze and concentrate on practicing.
Fu Yiqing sighed lightly and rushed to Qin Liubei, who was lying on the fence, "Zhiyuan Yexiang still added a lot of pressure to her. ”
Qin Liubei: "Don't be so nervous, they are already opponents, and they will meet sooner or later." ”
"They shouldn't have been met so early. "At least not yet.
*
After practicing all morning, Shu Ran went back to the locker room to change clothes, and just skated out of the ice rink, Zhiyuan Yexiang at the other end also arrived at the entrance, she glanced at the tall and thin girl, and both of them were stunned.
The other party smiled at Shu Ran first, but even if he smiled, he always felt that he was separated by a layer of ice mist, polite but alienated.
Shu Ran remembered reading a report about Zhiyuan Yexiang before, saying that she was a cold beauty.
The other party also gave way to Shu Ran, and Shu Ran was a little flattered.
Zhiyuan Yexiang's temper is much better than Liang Yue, with this demeanor, winning the championship is also convincing from the bottom of my heart.
Qin Liubei looked at the back of Zhiyuan Ye Xiang going to the locker room, and breathed a long sigh of relief, "Shu Ran, your opponent is not an ordinary person, you have to work hard." ”
Fu Yiqing: "Zhiyuan Yexiang is 22 years old, and she will be 25 years old in three years, even if she can maintain her current state, she will not be able to win the championship in three years." ”
Shu Ran: "Why?"
Qin Liubei laughed and nodded, "That's right, the opponents are improving, and she can only maintain stability, figure skating women's singles is originally a very short-lived event." ”
When Shu Ran went to the locker room, Qin Liubei put his hand on Fu Yiqing's shoulder, "I said, when did you become so comforting? Zhiyuan Yexiang can't win the championship?
Fu Yiqing's face did not change, "The strength of Zhiyuan Ye Xiang is obvious to everyone, what you should be worried about are unknown players, such as the youth players who have not yet been promoted to the adult group, and Christina." ”
Christina had a good season last season, originally she was about the same strength as Shuran, but after Quentin's training, she was only one place away from reaching the Grand Prix Finals, winning a silver medal at the World Youth Championships and finishing sixth on all four continents.
Qin Liubei lowered his eyes and pondered, "From this point of view, Zhiyuan Ye Xiang is really nothing. Looks like I misunderstood you. ”
"Misunderstanding?" Fu Yiqing looked at him with raised eyebrows.
Qin Liubei realized that he had said the wrong thing and covered it up with laughter.

After the choreographer of the short program is over, the next step is to wait for Shu Ran to be proficient in the short program and then teach free skating, which is estimated to take at least ten days and half a month.
has been training in the expressiveness of the show for more than half a year, and when Shu Ran performs this show, she is always unable to express the emotions that Bellus said, let alone the emotional changes?
At the end of the day's training, the four of them went to dinner first.
There is a restaurant nearby that specializes in providing food for athletes, and between waiting for food, Qin Liubei said: "I think the most disadvantaged thing about Shu Ran is that she has never been in love, so she can't show the complex feelings of love and hate between the heroine and the hero." ”
Qin Liubei's eyes flickered on Shu Ran and Fu Yiqing's faces, and he suddenly thought of something, and clapped his head, "Old Fu, why don't you sacrifice your hue for your students?"
Shu Ran took a sip of water and was shocked and sprayed on the face of Qin Liubei on the opposite side.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Shu Ran then handed over the tissue.
Qin Liubei wiped the water stains from his face and continued to explain his source of inspiration and the feasibility of his proposal.
Fu Yiqing: "Most of the figure skaters have never been in a relationship, and they all put on a great show. ”
"Don't believe it, everyone's situation is different, not to mention the truth, why don't you two try it?"
Shu Ran coughed again, her face slightly red.
happened to be served, in order to block Qin Liubei's mouth, Shu Ran desperately served him vegetables.
Qin Liubei ate and laughed again, "It turns out that Xiao Shuran has a crush on me, well, very discerning." ”
Shu Ran: "......"
*
Qin Liubei led Xu Jingyu back to the hotel after making a joke, and when he left, after listening to Qin Liubei's narcissistic words, the two started the bickering mode again.
"Like you, you don't have enough CP sense with Shu Ran, I think Fu Yiqing is still reliable. ”
One or two of them.
On the way back, Shu Ran felt that the atmosphere was a little strange.
Although Fu Yiqing doesn't talk much on weekdays, today is particularly embarrassing.
- Don't listen to him.
- They're all joking.
Shu Ran thought about the opening remarks, but in the end she didn't say anything, this matter will only get darker and darker.
The two of them walked to the door of the room, Shu Ran swiped the room card, and only listened to Fu Yiqing, "Qin Liubei loves to joke, don't take some things to heart." ”
Hearing this, Shu Ran breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably and nodded, "I want to say that too." ”
"So come to me now, and we'll watch Resurrection together. ”
Shu Ran's smile froze at the corners of her mouth.
When you come to a foreign country as a co-author, you still can't escape the life of watching movies?
Although I had already heard the synopsis of the story from Berus during the day, it was another matter to see it for myself.
The film is from the former Soviet period, and the old black and white pictures seem to return to that era.
On the one hand, he was the one he loved deeply, and on the other hand, he was a demon who abandoned him, she did hate him, but because of his help and sincerity, he fell again, and after thoroughly understanding his feelings for the male protagonist, the heroine finally decided to give up this past and no longer drag each other down, and chose to marry Simon, who was also an exile.
End of the film.
Fu Yiqing saw her head lowered, looking thoughtful, and half of her heart was released, "Have an idea?"
Shu Ran nodded.
Originally, she couldn't understand Maslova's emotional changes during the day, but after watching the film, Shu Ran vaguely seemed to understand her emotional changes.
"Then tell me about it. ”
Shu Ran recalled the plot and told it eloquently, "At first, it must have been hate, and then the pit male protagonist was revenge, and after being moved, he recalled that the past was love, and when he returned to reality, he found that it was still love." ”
"Not exactly. ”
Shu Ran scratched her temples in confusion.
Fu Yiqing said: "You can't interpret it in the way of reading it, you have to play this role, so you can't just talk about her emotional changes, combined with her career, but also show her grievances that have changed her life over the years." ”
Shu Ran's lips pursed, and she swallowed her saliva, her eyes full of confusion.
Fu Yiqing sighed, "Go back and think about how you want to show what I just said, tell me tomorrow morning, and now, you can go back and rest." ”
She got up and walked to the door, where she was stopped again.
"Shu Ran. Fu Yiqing said, "It doesn't have to be the same as what I said and Berus, integrate into your understanding, and use your performance to show us that you understand Maslova." ”
