Chapter Forty-Six: The Duel on the Ice Bucket
When two huge glass buckets were placed on either side of the catwalk and filled with ice water, the lights dimmed and spotlights hit the catwalk. The surroundings were slightly dark, except for the two glass buckets filled with ice water, which were the most illuminated, and the huge ice cubes floating on the water surface shimmered in the light.
The whole show fell silent, and the lights indicated that the show was about to start, of course, the meaning of this show was not quite the same, and now the debate between Zhao Qi and Bruno began.
It's just that the two huge ice buckets are too dazzling and too mysterious, and the guests are confused, and after a moment of silence, they begin to whisper.
Even Bruno, one of the protagonists, couldn't help but say to Luo Ximeng, who was acting as Zhao Qi's translator on the side: "What the hell are you doing?" Why not debate in an open and honest manner? ”
Luo Ximeng ignored it.
"Ladies! Gentlemen! A slightly hoarse voice sounded.
The lights dimmed a little more, the spotlight fell on the speaker, and at the beginning of the catwalk, Shantu Versace walked slowly in an elegant gown with a microphone.
There was no one reason for the scene to make waves again, Shantu was the host of the catwalk of DreamWorks!
Although DreamWorks has a good relationship with Versace, this is too outrageous, right? Could it be that Shantu knew that Dream Workshop would definitely win? Otherwise, how could he gamble his reputation and serve as this host?
However, from any point of view, the main purpose of the Animal Protection Association is irrefutable, how could Zhao Qi win?
"Ladies! Gentlemen! Welcome to the DreamWorks catwalk, where you will enjoy the best performances! Of course, I'm not talking about the so-called debate, but about the fur design of DreamWorks, and the traditional Chinese costume design of their partner, Xishu Buyi! Shantu walked out very leisurely, and walked through the middle of the two large ice buckets, and came to the middle of Kuroko and Bruno, and laughed teasingly.
Bruno glared at the mountain.
Shantu bowed slightly to Bruno and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Bruno! I have to apologize to you for revealing the final decision before you debated, which is ungentlemanly! But, as you know, I'm an honest person. ”
Bruno was disgruntled and tried to retort.
Shantu preemptively said: "Next, I announce the rules of the debate!" ”
Bruno immediately shut up and pricked up his ears. He thought to himself that if the Dream Workshop cheated, he would protest immediately, and when the time came, the people arranged by Simon would follow the protest, and the show would not be able to go. He doesn't have to win debates, give keynote speeches, and Simon won't treat him badly as long as he can ruin the DreamWorks catwalk.
The celebrities who came to the scene also immediately quieted down and listened attentively.
The cameras set up by the major media in advance also locked the mountain map from different angles.
"The rules are simple! Both sides of the debate stand on the board on the ice bucket, and the losing side will have the board crack under their feet. Naturally, the loser will fall into the ice bucket. Shantu pointed to two large ice buckets.
Only then did everyone realize that the top of the tempered glass vat was covered with a layer of black steel plates.
"As I said before, the outcome of the debate will be decided by the guests. That's definitely not going to change! Pointing to a device connected to a steel plate on the top edge of the ice bucket, Shantu said, "Please give a close-up of the cameraman, and at the same time, ask the staff to turn on the big screen in the background of the catwalk." Let everybody see this device, which is two decibel detectors. At the end of the debate, we will give the two debaters a chance to summarize their presentations, and at that time, the applause or cheers of the guests will be picked up by their respective decibel detectors. Finally, we will compare the numbers on the two decibel detectors in public, and the weaker decibel detector will be judged to fail! As I said, it's going to be an absolutely fair debate! ”
The sunspot looks at the nose and nose and the heart, standing still like an old pine on the stage, and the eight winds do not move.
Bruno frowned and pondered.
The scene was slightly noisy again, and it was the guests who were discussing.
Zinedine Zidane, a famous French world-class football star and Louis Vuitton spokesperson, shook his head slightly: "If it is on the football field, that Oriental will be a dangerous character, and you will never be able to see what he is thinking!" Even if the world collapsed under his feet, he would still be calm. I'm kind of looking forward to this guy's next counterattack, if he's prepared. ”
Hollywood star Jessica Alba opened her sexy mouth wide: "God! Is DreamWorks a suicide? They are simply giving up on themselves! Or, is it too hot in Paris, and Zhao Qi is going to take an ice shower? Ha, I kind of like this wayward kid! ”
Count Simon also came, and Kuroko sent him an invitation, and he did not refuse, and the purpose of both sides was the same - to witness the defeat of the other party. Today, Simon not only came, but also brought his friends from the aristocratic circle to help.
At this time, Simon had a bright smile on his face: "Such hard preparation and planning are just to defeat you, but when victory is coming, I suddenly don't look forward to it." Because, you are too weak! ”
Not far away, the Marquis Sandru said in disappointment: "Damn the Orientals! I'm here to see you step on Simon's face and show off your might, not to see you lose your panties! Rather than that, I'd rather you get shot by Simon! ”
The children's painting, who was invited by Kuroko, twitched his fingers quite nervously: "Oops! Kuroko's situation is too unfavorable! ”
Zhang Yiya, who came to participate in the Versace catwalk together, and then pestered Ye Guhu and did not leave, said in a weird manner on the side: "Shame is thrown abroad!" It's also broadcast live around the world in the Louvre, which is really amazing! You say yes, right? Ye Gongzi! ”
Ye Guhu sat between Zhang Yiya and Tong Hua, smiling: "I, in fact, I really hope that Zhao Qi, a toad who loves to eat swan meat, will be trampled into meat puree and will never be able to turn over." It's just that such an idea is somewhat unrealistic......"
Broadcast area.
After translating the rules of Shantu, the hosts of each TV station began to explain or express their opinions to the audience. Before the catwalk began, they were allowed to explain the debate without mutation.
Speaking in English, the BBC presenter said: "If it were as Shantu said, this debate would not be absolutely fair, because the vast majority of celebrities came to this show, not to support DreamWorks, but to support the Animal Protection Society!" So, from this point of view, DreamWorks is at a disadvantage, but, judging from the attitudes of Shantu and Mr. Zhao, it seems that they have the ...... win."
The tone of the host of French TV No. 1 was as arrogant as ever: "Young Chinese, they made a stupid decision, and then, he lost the debate, and even more so the catwalk time at DreamWorks. The most ridiculous thing is that the Italian (Shantu), who thinks he is very smart, actually served as the host of this catwalk, let's mourn for him together! His stupidity will be another sensational news for Versace after Gianni Versace was shot! ”
Donghai Satellite TV, Shi Taijian said in a weird manner: "For the first time, I feel ashamed of being Chinese, because that guy on the stage insulted the IQ of the Chinese!" The main purpose of the Animal Protection Society is noble and impeccable! He even tried to convince everyone to oppose it? He insulted not only our intelligence, but also our ideals! ”
On the stage, a staff member brought a ladder and placed it next to two ice buckets.
"Finally, I would like to confirm whether the two debaters have any disagreement on such a rule!" Shantu looked at Zhao Qi.
Kuroko shook his head.
"Mr. Zhao has no different meaning, so what about you, Mr. Bruno?" Shantu looked at Bruno with a smile.
If the ice bucket, the steel plate and the decibel detector are all right, then the debate is won by itself! lest they deceive!
"If Mr. Bruno disagrees, he can skip this debate and we will start the next catwalk immediately." Shantu is very cheap and authentic.
The guests seemed to think that Shantu was a bit excessive.
The hosts of major TV stations also began to complain about Shantu and Dream Workshop, among which Shi Taijian was the most active, he reprimanded this time that there was a problem with the Tao, and Dream Studio wanted to operate in the dark!
"I protest......" Bruno suspects that DreamWorks has done something.
"Shut up! It dawned on me that I had forgotten some lines. Shantu relied on the microphone, and violently covered Bruno's voice, took out a stack of scripts, looked at it, and said, "Ha! Sorry, I'm old and don't have a good memory! It's two links that are missing. First, the officials of the Paris notary office were fair about the rules and props of the debate, and secondly, the officials of the Paris Fashion Institute were asked to announce the bets of the competition. ”
As soon as everyone heard, there were also notaries and Paris fashion associations to testify? In this way, it can put an end to the dark box operation of DreamWorks!
Bruno also knew that this was in his favor, so he held back his anger and did not speak.
Sure enough, the officials of the Paris notary office came to the stage and read out the impartial speech, it turned out that as early as yesterday, they received an invitation from the Dream Workshop to participate in the process of preparing the props, and they had just undergone strict inspections to ensure the fairness of the props and rules.
Immediately afterwards, officials from the Paris Fashion Association took the stage to announce that, after discussions at the top of the fashion association, it was decided to approve the gamble of DreamWorks and the Animal Protection Society. If DreamWorks loses, he will give up the catwalk and time for the Animal Protection Society to hold a keynote speech, and if Bruno loses, he and the Animal Society members present today will volunteer for DreamWorks for three hours for free.
With the statements of the Paris notary and the officials of the fashion association, no one suspected that the DreamWorks was manipulating. It's a little strange why DreamWorks is so active in contacting the notary and the fashion association, which is like shooting yourself in the foot!
In this regard, a group of reporters, celebrities and celebrities are confused.
Shi Taijian laughed so hard that his mouth was about to crack to the back of his head: "Ignorance! Definitely because of ignorance! Otherwise, I can't figure out why Zhao Qi would do this! I can now announce in advance that the catwalk has been cancelled and that the audience will see the keynote speech from the French Society for the Protection of Animals......"
Next, Bruno no longer had any scruples, took the microphone handed by the staff, and took the lead in stepping on the ladder and walking up to the bucket.
Zhao Qi followed closely and also took a microphone and climbed into his bucket.
Luo Ximeng took the microphone and stood next to the bucket where Kuroko was, waiting to translate for Kuroko.
Shantu smiled mysteriously, then loudly announced, "Ladies! Gentlemen! Now that my favorite and most anticipated show is about to begin, the debaters on both sides are in place, and we welcome the two of us with the best pre-show desserts! I declare that the debate begins! Whoever speaks first, how to refute the statement, etc., you can see for yourself! The rest of the time is yours! ”
After that, Shantu turned off the microphone very irresponsibly and got off the runway.
The lights went out, leaving only two spotlights, which hit Zhao Qi and Bruno respectively.
Kuroko made a gesture of please to Bruno.
Bruno did not shirk, took out the speech he had prepared in advance, and preached passionately: "Human beings are members of nature, and we, like any animal, are children of nature......
