Chapter 509: Five Grand Slams

In less than an hour, Du Xinghe recorded his first song in the new plane, which also caused a huge response in later generations.

However, how this song is tied to the promotion of "Looking for Qin" depends on the wisdom of Xingyue Publishing House and the Cloud World publicity team.

This kind of accompanying CD is generally in the format of a single mini CD, that is, a CD with a diameter of 80cm, and the normal CD diameter specification is 120cm. The size of the mini CD has become smaller, and the cost has also come down.

And the book CD does not need to be too good packaging, usually to do a certain amount of advertising spraying on the mini CD. The cost of making zuò is reduced to the greatest extent, which is much lower than that of ordinary single CDs such as "Little Bird", and the cost can be reduced to only about 2 yuan if the quantity is huge.

Compared with an episode of "Xun Qin" priced at about 10 yuan, it is not difficult to put in the cost of the CD with the book. Because it's impossible to sell a book and give away a CD. At least 5 to 6 episodes of "Xun Qin" published in advance will be sold before a CD with the book will be given, and the cost is negligible, and there is no need to increase the price of the book at all, so it is the right to give back to the fans.

Of course, this kind of accompanying book CD can also be given with the book when the "Quest for Qin" is finished and the full collector's edition is released.

In what form it should be gifted, the two publishing houses will have to come up with advice together, which does not require Du Xinghe to bother with his own brains.

That night, Du Xinghe stayed in the new company. In order to avoid suspicion, Xu Nuo left the company before getting off work. Because when Xu Nuo was sleeping in Du Xinghe's office, Du Xinghe was recording songs, and the two of them were not tired of being in the office for so long at the same time, so Jin Mengyi, the secretary outside the door, didn't feel anything, thinking that Xu Nuo was really working in Du Xinghe's office, or writing or practicing songs or something, after all, Du Xinghe's office has a lot of musical instruments for singers to use.

This night, Xu Nuo returned to the company after dinner, her mother had recently been on a business trip again, and she lived at home alone with herself. It's better to come and sleep in the new house with Du Xinghe. At the beginning, they promised Zhou Chuhong that they would not sleep together in the Dongjia Garden. But I didn't say I wouldn't sleep together somewhere else.

So under the trend of getting stronger and stronger love, the two of them are clever and often take advantage of the loopholes in the words and spend the night together outside.

Of course, this kind of overnight stay is still guarded by the last measure.

Originally, if I slept at Du Xinghe's house. Xu Nuo is as lazy as he wants.

But now it's in the company to sleep. Xu Nuoke didn't dare to be lazy in bed. So as not to be seen by colleagues who arrived early, so I could only get up at five o'clock with Du Xinghe, and then wash up and go to the beach to practice my voice.

Finish practicing. The two had breakfast, and then Du Xinghe drove Xu Nuo home, so that Xu Nuo continued to sleep and sleep, and after he rested at Xu Nuo's house, he calculated the time, and then went to Fuzhou University to find Zhang Yifan, and prepared to practice as agreed.

At seven o'clock, the morning sun began to appear.

Zhang Yifan was already waiting for Du Xinghe at the west gate of Fuda.

As usual, this tennis beauty with dark wheat skin is fully armed. On her head is still the iconic white half-mesh tennis cap, and she is wearing a dark red long-sleeved sweatshirt of Baijiazhuang brand, which is tight-fitting and cinched in the waist, and her small waist is very slender.

She is wearing tight cropped sports hot pants underneath, which is a red model that is deeper than the upper body close to black, because it is still in the early spring season, the temperature in the morning is cool, and her sports hot pants have good thermal performance. Outside the hot pants, she is still used to wearing a white tennis skirt that covers her thighs, which is elegant and beautiful.

The pair of professional tennis shoes on her feet are made by the same factory as the [Wen] brand racket she is used to, which has good hard cushioning and can protect her ankles to the greatest extent.

These shoes are a little more professional than the Baijiazhuang tennis shoes worn by Du Xinghe.

The brand is the best professional manufacturer of tennis supplies in the south, and many professional tennis players in China are contracted players of the [Wen] brand.

Generally, amateur players rarely buy equipment with the word [Wen], because its price is relatively expensive, and the public still prefers Baijiazhuang, a more mainstream and more extensive brand.

Waiting for Du Xinghe with Zhang Yifan are Zhang Yiyang and Bian Siliang. These two guys are going to play together at the Blue Moon Bay Tennis Center today.

Zhang Yiyang did not sign up for this year's Fuwan Youth Cup Championship, but instead registered Bian Siliang, an apprentice, for the men's singles competition. Bian Siliang has practiced a lot recently, but if he wants to achieve results in the Youth Cup, it is still a dream, but if he can participate, it will be a success for a tennis lover like him.

Zhang Yiyang himself has to prepare for the ATP Fuwan Championship, which will kick off in full swing after the Youth Cup.

This is Zhang Yiyang's first time participating in a professional-level competition, although it is a very low-level ATP 250, but it is still a great challenge for him, and his goal is to make it to the main tournament and compete with professional players in the real arena.

Zhang Yiyang also drove early this morning, Du Xinghe's car is a coupe with double doors, although there are seats in the back, but because the space of the car is really compact, Zhang Yiyang is more than 1.9 meters tall, and he feels aggrieved when he sits in the front row, so he drives by himself. His car is a mid-to-high-end model in the Chinese SUV - Fenglong 4.0, which is a high-end off-road version, with a pure black appearance, brown and black interior, luxurious and high-profile, and hundreds of thousands more expensive than Du Xinghe's coupe.

Du Xinghe can see from the very beginning that the Zhang brothers and sisters gave him the guitar of the Yuqin Workshop without even blinking an eye, and the two brothers and sisters were born in a wealthy family, and they must be the second or third generation. But I still didn't expect Zhang Yiyang to go to college and drive such an expensive car. The return rate of this car on the road is higher than that of the Loulan coupe, because it is too big! It's all comparable to the Hummer of the previous plane!

Parking the car next to Zhang Yiyang's car, Du Xinghe's coupe was like an undeveloped child, losing weight twice!

Zhang Yiyang stood tall and tall by the car. It complements each other very well, a big man like him who is more than 1.9 meters old should drive a big car of this size.

"Mr. Du, do you know the Blue Moon Bay Tennis Center?"

After saying hello, Zhang Yiyang asked Du Xinghe.

"Know the general direction." Duxing River Channel.

"Okay, you can follow me." Zhang Yiyang took Bian Siliang to his wind dragon.

Zhang Yifan wanted to take Du Xinghe's coupe and reminded Zhang Yiyang: "You drive slowly, brother, book the field at eight o'clock." I can't get in if I go early. ”

"I know." Zhang Yiyang responded casually and immediately started the car. Heading towards the Blue Moon Bay Tennis Center on the outskirts of the city.

Du Xinghe carried Zhang Yifan. Follow Zhang Yiyang's SUV.

Because it was early in the morning and it was Saturday, there were not many cars on the road. Zhang Yiyang's car drove very fast, and it was a bit of a tiger. Relying on the large displacement of the car. "Huhuhu" all the way to overtake other cars on the road. I also love to change lines and the like, sometimes just over the front of a car, suddenly change the line. Changed to the front of the car that had been overtaken, as if it wanted someone else's house.

Du Xinghe followed behind, his brows furrowed more and more, and he asked Zhang Yifan helplessly: "Is your brother a novice?" ”

"Newbie?" Zhang Yifan was also paying attention to his brother's SUV in front of him, stunned for a moment, he didn't understand what Du Xinghe meant by a novice, thinking that he was a novice in tennis.

Du Xinghe explained: "He didn't learn to drive for a long time, right? Du Xinghe said this because Zhang Yiyang was so tiger at driving, he was simply a legendary road killer, rampage, and he wanted to scold Zhang Yiyang from behind, because Zhang Yiyang's way of driving without lights and merging lines is really dangerous.

Zhang Yifan said embarrassedly: "It's been two years since he got his driver's license, but he really doesn't drive very well, he usually drives less, and when he gets on the road, it's like a wild horse......

Zhang Yifan is also very helpless about this, this plane can get a driver's license at the age of 16, she and his brother both got a driver's license at the age of 16, but both of them are not very keen on driving, after all, there is a driver at home, where to let the driver send it, and they are all public school students, usually if they always drive, it seems too public.

They won't drive themselves unless they have to. But every time Zhang Yiyang drives, he looks particularly "crazy", and I don't know why. She is much more steady and more skillful in driving, just like she does on the tennis court.

Seeing that there were already many cars honking at Zhang Yiyang on the road, Du Xinghe really couldn't stand it. Out of politeness, drivers on this plane rarely honk their horns, and when pedestrians cross the crosswalk, drivers will stop and wait, and will never honk their horns to urge. Unless it is a situation that can no longer be tolerated, the driver will honk the horn to warn.

Zhang Yiyang at this moment made the driver on the road unbearable, Du Xinghe couldn't bear it, seeing Zhang Yiyang merging and pinning to a car, the car was so frightened that he even stepped on the brakes! I almost got the car behind me and rear-ended, and the situation was very thrilling.

When Du Xinghe saw this scene, he reminded Zhang Yifan: "Sit down." "Follow the quick hanging on the sports gear, a foot of the accelerator blasted up, the coupe is like being ejected by a giant spring, the speed of the "poof" jumped out, the speed of the car soared from 80 miles to 130 miles instantly! All of a sudden, he caught up with Zhang Yiyang's car, which was still unscrupulous in front.

Bang!

Du Xinghe's coupe surpassed Zhang Yiyang's SUV like an arrow!

Zhang Yiyang and Bian Siliang were chatting, and suddenly saw Du Xinghe's car passing fiercely, and they were startled.

"Does Xiao Du always want to drag race? It's so fast! ”

Seeing that there were not many cars on the road, Bian Siliang became interested, this guy is the same as Zhang Yiyang, he is a fledgling novice on the road, he didn't think of the consequences of driving indiscriminately, as soon as he drove Du Xinghe, he was stimulated out of the idea of drag racing, and he excitedly encouraged Zhang Yiyang: "We lost on the tennis court, we can't lose when driving!" Brother Yang, him! ”

Zhang Yiyang was said by Bian Siliang, his blood rushed instantly, although he didn't drive much, he could often experience the thrill of drag racing, because if there was a car overtaking him on the road, he would always refuel to overtake others. Now that Du Xinghe has surpassed it at such a fast speed, it is obviously provocative or provocative! In that case, let's go wild!

Zhang Yiyang's eyes flashed with excitement, he put on the sports gear, changed the line violently and followed to the back of Du Xinghe's lane, stepped on the accelerator sharply, and prepared to speed up to chase Du Xinghe.

Suddenly, I saw Du Xinghe's car flashing double, the speed slowly decreased, and Zhang Yiyang also quickly slowed down. Slowly followed Du Xinghe, and couldn't figure out what Du Xinghe was doing.

Zhang Yifan in Du Xinghe's car experienced an instantaneous surge in speed, and at that time she felt a huge and strong feeling of pushing her back, and her little heart almost didn't jump out! The hand tightly grabbed the handle on the door, and he couldn't say anything frightened, and his face was almost white! At first, she also thought that Du Xinghe was going to race with Zhang Yiyang!

But soon Du Xinghe changed gears and slowly slowed down the speed of the car, and also played a double flash, which made Zhang Yifan breathe a sigh of relief.

"Do you know how to get to the Blue Moon Bay Tennis Center?"

After reducing the speed of the car back to a safe 80 miles, Du Xinghe asked Zhang Yifan.

Zhang Yifan nodded his little head and said, "I know." ”

"That's good. You show the way. I'm driving in front. You call your brother and ask him to follow me, don't talk nonsense. Otherwise, before you reach Blue Moon Bay, it is estimated that something will happen. ”

"Uh-huh." Zhang Yifan agrees with Du Xinghe's approach. In fact, in the morning when her brother was going to drive by himself. She has expressed strong opposition. But there is no way, her brother is just screwed, and no one will listen to that. You have to open it yourself. She didn't take her brother's car, she had to take Du Xinghe, just because she had been in her brother's car and knew how terrifying it was, so she didn't dare to sit anymore. Now that Du Xinghe asked Zhang Yiyang to follow him, Zhang Yifan felt much more down-to-earth, and hurriedly called her brother to ask her brother to follow Du Xinghe, don't be blind and merge.

Although Zhang Yiyang was stupid, because of Du Xinghe's face, he didn't have much to say, so he could only slowly follow Du Xinghe.

Because there was still a lot of time, Du Xinghe slowed down as much as possible, not driving a little anxiously like he usually did, and he always surpassed others. This time, he basically locked one lane and drove it, almost not overtaking other people's cars, and Zhang Yiyang of the province followed blindly.

After driving like this for a while, the situation is much more stable, and Zhang Yifan is also in the mood to talk to Du Xinghe about tennis.

First of all, and most importantly, what is the difference between the tennis court of Fuzhou University and the tennis court of the Blue Moon Bay Tennis Center, Zhang Yifan talked to Du Xinghe in detail.

While both are broadly defined as hard surfaces, the material of the ground is very different. The tennis courts, including the training ground, are made of concrete, which is often referred to as the cement floor, which is only coated with a very thin layer of color paint, the ground is very hard, the ball speed is fast, and the elasticity coefficient is large.

The court of the Blue Moon Bay Tennis Center is designed according to the hard court standard of Chang'an Earth, the Chinese Grand Slam, and the surface is paved with a layer of rubber, which is a rubber-type hard surface, soft and hard, elastic, the bounce of the ball is very high, and the ball speed is slower than the cement floor.

Du Xinghe has been practicing on the cement floor of Fuda University, and has adapted to the fast field, and after going to the rubber floor, he may not be adaptable. However, according to his violent style of playing with infinite topspin, in fact, the rubber ground with better elasticity is more suitable for his play, because the most lethal part of the topspin ball is high bounce and high rev.

The higher the friction coefficient, the more suitable it is for topspin players, just like the clay court dominated by Nadal in the previous plane, which is the court with the highest friction coefficient.

A rubber venue like Blue Moon Bay is the most suitable for players with a well-rounded style of play.

Du Xinghe has some understanding of tennis courts, after all, he has played tennis in the previous plane and often watches tennis, but he has not personally experienced the differences between various tennis courts, so he is quite interested in this. He wanted to see how the ground materials of different venues differed in actual combat. After all, there's more to experiencing it than hearing about it.

Zhang Yifan saw that Du Xinghe was very interested in these things, so he took this opportunity to talk to Du Xinghe about the different venues of the five Grand Slam Open Tournaments at the highest level in this plane, as well as some other classic venues.

The tennis court of this plane is the same as the previous plane, and it is also divided into several classic courts, such as grass field, dirt court, hard court court, carpet court, etc. However, because of the addition of the Chinese Grand Slam, the venues of the five Grand Slams are slightly different from the four Grand Slams of the previous plane.

First of all, let's talk about the youngest Chinese Grand Slam.

More than 60% of the tennis bases in China are designed according to the Grand Slam standards of the Chang'an Center tennis court, just like the Blue Moon Bay Tennis Center, all of which are plastic courts, also known as rubber courts. This kind of court is very similar to the plastic court of the last Australian Open, which was converted from grass to hard court.

In the last plane, the representatives of plastic courts are the Australian Open Centre Court in Melbourne and the Miami Court in the United States. In the earliest days of the last plane, the Australian Open was a grass field, and in 88, Melbourne transformed the surface of the court, changing the court to a hard court, and spreading a layer of rubber on it, commonly known as Rebound-Ace. This kind of rubber ground, the elasticity is excellent, the ball rebounds very high after landing, and at the same time, due to the surface elasticity coefficient k is small, the ball and the field have a long time, which is similar to the soft field, and the rubber surface is also mixed with plastic particles, increasing the surface friction coefficient μ, the above two factors work together, so that the ball speed of the rubber field is relatively slow. Most of the tennis courts in China on this plane are this kind of plastic courts.

Because the Chinese Grand Slam was the first to adopt the format of plastic courts, the reform of the Australian Open in this plane has not changed from a grass field to a plastic court, but has changed to a very special "green clay court", which is different from the clay court of the French Open, which uses a kind of local green stone powder from Australia to pave the court, which is harder than the red clay of the French Open, and is a soft court between the plastic court and the clay court.

The other three Grand Slams of this plane are almost indistinguishable from the previous one. Wimbledon is still the most classic grass court, the French Open is the classic clay court, and the US Open is the classic cement hard court.

Fuwan University's court is similar to the U.S. Open, except that the thin layer of paint is layered on top, and the U.S. Open's paint layer is thinner and has less impact on ball speed. The Arthur Ashe Stadium, the center court of the US Open, is the fastest court in the five Grand Slams, because the elastic coefficient k is very large, and the vertical component of kinetic energy is greatly lost, so when playing there, the rebound of the ball will not be too high (compared to plastic ground such as the Australian Open), and because the surface is relatively smooth, the ball can obviously be seen moving forward when it lands (there is obviously a pause in the plastic ground and the ground ball).

The summer season in North America is the happiest time for net-playing players, and on fast hard courts, the serve is very destructive, and playing on that kind of court, the net volley is obviously safer and more certain. In this era of the plane, almost eight out of ten U.S. Open champions are online players.

However, playing on the hardest court is the most harmful to the lower limbs of tennis players, and many players injure their ankles by making sharp turns and stops on hard courts.

Du Xinghe practiced on the hardest court as soon as he came up, and his super body strength also ensured that he could easily cope with such a court. On the hardest court, he can play the violent topspin ball to a god-like level, which is what Zhang Yifan is most surprised by Du Xinghe. She can't imagine what amazing effect Du Xinghe will have on the soft court, if you look at Du Xinghe's topspin on the hard court, he should be at the level of a champion on the clay court!

Completely contrary to the performance of hard courts, the most significant feature of clay courts such as the French Open is that there is great friction between the ball and the ground when it lands, the ball speed is slow, and the players will have a lot of room for sliding during running, especially when stopping and returning sharply, which determines that players must have better physical fitness, running and moving ability than other courts, as well as more tenacious willpower, rather than blindly serving the net.

Playing on clay is the biggest test for the players' bottom line, and players generally have to pay several times the sweat and patience to play around with the opponent on the bottom line, so it is often not the fierce serve net player who wins, but the side who struggles the bottom line. Whether it is Nadal, the king of clay in the previous plane, or Du Xinghe in this plane, the violent topspin style of turning around the head on each racket is the best place to play.

The Australian Open, the "hard" green clay court of this plane, is the second easiest venue for topspin players, followed by the plastic court of the Chinese Grand Slam.

The hardest way to play topspin is the classic grass court like cement hard court and Wimbledon.

Like the previous plane, the Wimbledon tennis court in this plane is also the most magical court in the tennis world, and it is also the representative court of the grass court.

Among the various tennis court types, grass has the smallest coefficient of friction and the lowest bounce, only 3/4 of that of hard courts. (To be continued......)
