21 First foray into a couple
This issue of variety show is also the last commercial activity on Xu Haoyang's contract. He had pushed away a considerable part of it himself, and now he had no new offers to him, so he was happy and quiet, and he could devote himself to training.
and Han Lu's training. Inexplicably, the training started suddenly.
He had no other choice. He would not be willing to retire if he was really retired, and chose to join a club abroad, he had neither such an opportunity nor such a belief for the time being.
If you can't do it at home, you can do it abroad?
He doesn't think so.
He's not the kind of person who would put the blame on the environment and others. So he lost his temper, and although many things were not resolved and progressed at all, he could only let things go naturally, as he had done many times in the past.
Do your best and let God do your best.
Although they are in the same figure skating team, because the singles and doubles events are different, Xu Haoyang did not have the opportunity to see Han Lu practicing up close before. His impression of the comprehensive strength of this amazing women's singles predecessor can be said to have always been obtained through a TV screen.
When he was suddenly told that he had to perform a track with Han Lu next season, it was impossible to say that he didn't care.
The first time he felt the sleek woman's stride on the ice up close, he knew he had to retract the words he had once uttered.
- She won't be able to skate for a few years. He must retract this reckless conclusion.
Han Lu is very strong. Power, speed, and that unique sense of aggression. All very strong. He has seen this feeling in Wang Ximing, and he has also seen it in Eric.
These are the best players in the industry.
Her form has declined compared to herself, and she could still be better than anyone else on the team.
Partnering with such a person is something Xu Haoyang couldn't have imagined before.
In the past, his partner, whether it was Jiang Xin, or someone who had just changed to another combination, or someone who had practiced with him for a short time due to various partner injuries and other reasons, were all typical double female players, petite, thin, and light, and the kind of one that had full advantages with male players.
Han Lu is 1.63 meters tall, which is just the right height in the women's singles. In the field of women's singles, if the player is too low, it is easy to cause the action to be aesthetically insufficient, and the center of gravity is too high and difficult to control. However, this height is a bit higher for pairs skating, after all, the higher the height, the heavier the weight, which will be a test of the strength of the male skaters.
Jiang Xin is 1.55 meters, and his former partner is 1.52 meters, in this comparison, Han Lu, who is definitely not strong among ordinary women, looks a circle bigger than them. Whether Xu Haoyang can successfully complete those throwing and jumping movements with her, he has no bottom in his heart at this time.
However, at this stage, it is not yet the time for him and Han Lu to really run in, because now, the instructor in charge of the special duo is yelling to correct Han Lu's movements.
The coach's surname is Sun, he is also in his forties, he spent more than ten years in the United States when he was young, and his speaking style is a bit exaggerated. In Zijun's words, it's a bit like Eric's low-profile Chinese version, but it's far less handsome than Eric.
"Coach Wang can't refute it, that's because of his fierce aura. Zijun whispered to Han Lu, "Coach Sun, just because you heard him speak once, you definitely don't want to hear him say it a second time." ”
Zijun is actually not a self-acquaintance, but she just has the ability to speak comfortably and properly, so that no matter how violent her temper is, she can't do anything to her. She is only 26 years old this year, and it stands to reason that she is not the kind of character who loves to manage people, but somehow, in the years of the figure skating team, maybe she was partnered with Zhang Lei, or maybe there were too many brainless people, so she inexplicably developed a ...... Maternal instinct.
Zijun himself is particularly helpless about this. But there is no way, habits are formed, and it is difficult to change.
For Han Lu, what Zijun was thinking about was not what made her form a psychological belonging to this team, but that she had been Xu Haoyang's teammate for so many years, and after witnessing the big and small accidents that had pressed on him in the past two years, she suddenly felt that if there was another time, if there were several times of the same thing, this person would probably collapse.
She didn't know what happened in Liu Bofei's office that day, but she just felt like that.
Han Lu has no objection to this girl who is three years younger than her, Zijun has no sense of distance and is very good at mastering the degree of interacting with people, knowing what to say and what not to say, what can be asked and what cannot be asked, what she said, Han Lu unconsciously went into her mind.
For example, this Coach Sun's style.
"NO!NO!NO!" Coach Sun interrupted Han Lu again, "My God, did I tell you that your actions are too wild! Aren't you when you yourself crashed through the cage and ran out, so that a leopard who couldn't even catch you?" Listen, I want you to remember that he is a prince, and you are a princess who is conflicted, but hopelessly deeply in love with the prince. Look at you, what are you doing now? Are you having a father-killing vendetta with the prince, and you want to kill him every minute? Now, now, you look at me, you need to be soft, soft, soft......"
Seeing that Han Lu's face was getting worse and worse, Liu Bofei hurriedly came over and pulled Coach Sun aside.
"Grandson. Liu Bofei said, "We talked about it before...... No one else can comment on her style, she has to skate her own double ......"
"You listen to her!" Coach Sun scolded back directly. "She's a coach, I'm a coach?"
"That's not what it means. "Liu Bofei has one head and two big, and he coaxes that side after coaxing here. "She didn't just turn around......"
"I don't care about that, I don't care. Coach Sun said, "It doesn't matter how good she used to be, anyway, she is now an inexperienced pure newcomer, and I have to take responsibility to teach her from scratch." She doesn't understand anything herself, so she can't wait to command others, what the hell is she thinking?"
Although Liu Bofei has not publicly said about Han Lu and Xu Haoyang's partnership in the team for the time being, everyone else has also seen the training these days, and they can understand what is happening.
Generally, the eliminated women's singles turn to doubles, which is quite a common thing, but the object is Han Lu, and the others don't show it on their faces, and they are also fiercely surprised in their hearts.
Han Lu is indeed finished.
Jiang Xin watched from a distance and confirmed to himself again.
She has always been afraid that Han Lu will turn around, even the ordinary commercial performance when Han Lu came back, after she saw the news that expressed praise and hope, she was extremely worried that Lu Bolin would change her mind.
Lu Bolin is not the kind of person who can speak clearly, his heart is deeper than anything else, he will not promise anything to anyone, and he will not tell the truth to anyone.
The decisions he makes will not be influenced by anyone.
So Jiang Xin has always understood that he can decisively give up Han Lu at that time, and he can also give up himself at some point in the future.
Anyway, she thought, she didn't want that to happen anyway.
At this time, because Coach Sun's voice was too loud, Jiang Xin, who had not focused on his own practice, heard his words clearly.
"What kind of tunes are they practicing?" she asked Chen Tingyuan.
"Huh?"
"Can you hear that? from Coach Sun's words. ”
"I'm not sure. "But it could be Turandot." ”
"You think so, too. Jiang Xin said, "I think so." ”
"Maybe it's just practice. Chen Tingyuan said, "After all, we have already determined ......"
But Coach Wang is not optimistic. ”
"Sister Jiang Xin, what do you think ......?"
"I don't know. Jiang Xin shook his head.
Turandot is a very classic piece of music, one of the three operas by the Italian composer Puccini based on fairy tales, one of the greatest works of his life and his last. It tells a Chinese legend in the imagination of Westerners. In a nutshell, it is the story of a brave and wise prince who melts the cold heart of Princess Turandot with love.
Over the years, it has been remade into films, stage plays, and has been presented to the world in different forms and interpretations, and many pairs skaters in the figure skating world have chosen this piece, and a few years ago a couple of Russian skaters gave it an incomparable performance. In addition, it is also the debut performance song of Xu Haoyang and Jiang Xin.
In retrospect, their performances, while not flawless, were also very impressive. A pair of young people recreate the classic with great emotion and excellent expressiveness - the narrator of the time said impassionedly.
For Jiang Xin, this piece actually has some special meaning.
Now, when she re-choreographs the movements with her new partner, she can't help but think of the scene many years ago when she and Xu Haoyang were together to discuss the action arrangement.
This kind of feeling made her feel very uncomfortable.
Obviously, Xu Haoyang is a person who has been given up by himself, but he is a person who has been repeated and has no way not to care about his current situation and ideas.
She herself doesn't know what she wants Xu Haoyang to do, maybe she doesn't want to see him collapse, but she also doesn't want to see him rise without herself.
Or - maybe the last time they were on a variety show together, she felt it.
Although she is unwilling to let Xu Haoyang entangle herself anymore, she is also unwilling to accept the fact that Xu Haoyang no longer needs herself at all and has no nostalgia for herself at all.
This made her feel a complex emotion churning in her heart when she saw Xu Haoyang, who was standing at the other end of the ice rink, who had never had any expression on his face and couldn't see how he was feeling, and was working on "Turandot" with others again.
