Chapter 335: Sports Star
Flowers without a moon?
Lin Dong was stunned, although he couldn't see the front of this person, but the satin robe embroidered with lace made the shadow of Hua Wuyue appear in his mind for the first time. What's more, the person in front of him was holding a small spirit stone fan, and the whirring breeze was constantly being transported out.
It's just early summer, and it's not under the sun, who can have this kind of style, Lin Dong has only seen Hua Wuyue in Lingnan City.
"Young master, this archery technique is too bad, isn't it?"
On the side, a man who looked like a guard turned his head to look at the person who was suspected of being Hua Wuyue, and his tone was slightly disdainful.
"It's a little bit worse! However, according to the business method of Lin Kee Gymnasium, if it is a few years later, it should be able to be somewhat interesting. ”
As soon as these words came out, Lin Dong was sure that this voice was Hua Wuyue.
"What can I see, and martial artists are not allowed to participate." The guard muttered in disbelief: "In my opinion, not to mention a few years, decades will not necessarily have a good match in the academy." Anyway, the competition held by the academy was attended by all the students who participated in it. ”
"This is the wisdom of the Lam Kee Gymnasium, the academy and the Lam Kee Gymnasium are actually the same, but the restriction of the academy is that no one other than the students is allowed to participate. If people other than the students participate, except for the competition, the storage office will not be able to hold it for a few years. Even if it is a competition, I am afraid that it will not be as good as a year, after all, the academy cannot afford the benefits of letting masters participate in the competition, once you meet one or two masters who like to join in the fun with the remuneration, the difference in strength is too great, and there is nothing to look at at all. Moreover, if this master participates in two or three years, others will not have much motivation to participate. Again, I know who is the first, and I don't have anything to look forward to. ”
Hua Wuyue said lightly: "Lin Ji Gymnasium restricts martial artists from participating, if they are all ordinary people, they can only use silver to make them work hard." Moreover, the strength of each other will not be so different that you can know the result without a competition. Although they are all ordinary people, no matter how hard they try, they can't surpass the martial artists, but there are many people who can participate. The more people, the greater the suspense. If these matches can be better, at least I'll make sure that there will be no shortage of one in the month leading up to the final decision. ”
The guard snorted, clearly not understanding what he meant. Lin Dong, who was behind him, couldn't help but look at Hua Wuyue with admiration, this analysis was exactly the development idea he wanted when he was preparing for Lin Ji Gymnasium. This young master of flowers, in addition to the inconsistency between his strength and image, his analytical ability is also the same.
"How long can I buy tickets for Lin Kee Gymnasium in advance?" Hua Wuyue suddenly asked.
Before I came, the guards bought the tickets first, but I also asked relevant questions, so I didn't hesitate to say, "You can buy tickets for ten days in advance." ”
"When I went out, I bought all the tickets for ten days, and I wanted all four shows." Hua Wuyue stood up, the spirit stone fan in her hand buzzing.
"All four shows, buy all tickets within ten days?" The guard hesitated: "Young Master, if you come to the Lin Ji Gymnasium every day, it will be difficult for the head of the family to explain!" ”
"What's there to see about this broken game?" Hua Wuyue said disdainfully.
"Then the young master buys a ticket......" The second monk of the guard was puzzled.
Hua Wuyue smiled and did not explain, but gently shook the spirit stone fan in her hand and turned around leisurely.
The moment his eyes inadvertently swept to Lin Dong, his smile instantly seemed to be frozen, and his stiffness could not be changed.
"Master Hua, don't watch the game anymore?" Lin Dong greeted with a smile.
Hua Wuyue didn't dare to speak, secretly complaining in her heart, in a few days, she had only gone out three times in total. And these three times, I can actually meet this Lin shopkeeper of Lin Ji Inn every time.
This month, the stars are shining?
The first time, I was stunned by a slap. The second time, I was forced to write a letter of guarantee. This third ...... Hua Wuyue believes that bad luck is certain, but it is not clear whether it is more unlucky than the previous two times or slightly better. Judging from the degree of bad luck in the first two times, the first time is a disgrace, and the second time is a disgrace, which should be ...... It's just getting more and more unlucky.
The buzzing spirit stone fan kept turning, and with Hua Wuyue standing, many people's eyes were attracted. But after seeing that the sound source came from the first row and was emitted by the spirit stone fan, they all chose to be silent.
The conditions for obtaining the spirit stone fan of the Lin Ji Inn, you can only get a spirit stone fan by accumulating ten taels of silver for the price of wine and food. Being able to drag the spirit stone fan of Lin Ji Inn in his hand the next day, this family is definitely not bad.
The guards on the side were obviously not the guards that Lin Dong had met before, seeing Lin Dong greeting, he thought that his young master had really met an acquaintance, and he didn't care about Lin Dong when he looked at him, and stood quietly waiting for Hua Wuyue.
Lin Dong was still smiling, and he didn't have any dissatisfaction at all because of Hua Wuyue's silence: "Young Master Hua, this hand-holding spirit stone fan, it's easy to use, right?" ”
Hua Wuyue was worried that she didn't know what bad luck to do next, and she didn't want to answer, but she was worried that the bad luck was caused by ignoring people twice in a row, so she had to squeeze out a little smile and nodded: "Handy, thank you for the generous gift from the shopkeeper Lin." ”
"Young Master Hua is polite." Lin Dong smiled and pointed to the competition venue, and said, "Young Master Hua, be busy, I won't bother." ”
Hua Wuyue's eyes widened a little in an instant, and her expression was so surprised that she couldn't believe it when she heard something shocking.
"Master Hua, are you okay?" Lin Dong kindly reminded.
"Huh?" Hua Wuyue looked at Lin Dong blankly.
"I'm asking, is Young Master Hua okay?" Lin Dong's patience was surprisingly good.
"No, it's okay!" Hua Wuyue hurriedly shook her head.
"If it's okay, Master Hua will walk slowly, and I will find you for tea when I have time." Lin Dong's smile became a little more kind.
Hua Wuyue nodded without repeating herself, although she was still a little suspicious of why Lin Dong let herself go so easily, she still had the courage, bypassed the guards, and cautiously walked into the passage.
Seeing Hua Wuyue's somewhat stiff back gradually fade away, until it disappeared completely, Lin Dong's gaze moved to the competition venue. And in my heart, I have already made up my mind to go to the Peach Blossom Restaurant for a walk when I have time.
This young master is indeed a little interesting.
In the arena, several guys are counting the scores. When all the sharp arrows on the ten transparent arrow targets with only red circles were pulled out, another man with a bow and arrow on his back walked in from the passage.
The man was in his early thirties, strong and strong, and looking at his dress, he was obviously a hunter.
Coming directly in front of the first target, the man removed the longbow from his shoulder. Then, his left hand poked towards the quiver behind him, and the next second, a bang sounded.
Airplanes!
Thirty meters away, in the center of the heart, the tail feathers of a sharp arrow were slowly trembling.
Coax...... Suddenly, the entire Lin Ji Gymnasium erupted into a flutter.
"Good guy, this speed of pulling a bow and shooting arrows, I'm afraid Ning Qiang of the Ten Thousand Law Academy can't do it, right?"
"It shouldn't be possible, I remember, Ning Qiang's archery focuses on strength. It's only thirty meters, if Ning Qiang is replaced, if an arrow is shot, we can't even see a shadow, and moreover, it can easily shoot through more than a dozen arrow target hearts. But compared to this one, the speed of drawing the bow and shooting arrows is a little slower. Look at this person, as if he has eyes on his back, and the arrows he picked up didn't need to be adjusted at all, and he shot them out directly. ”
"Ning Qiang is a martial artist, I heard that he already has the strength of the sixfold spirit period, this power, of course, is not comparable to ordinary people. If this person also has the strength of the sixfold spirit period, he can also shoot through more than a dozen arrow targets with one arrow. But...... Having said that, I remember that Ning Qiang's speed of drawing the bow and shooting arrows doesn't seem to be slow, and those who learn martial arts should have faster hands. ”
"It's not slow, but it feels different when you look at it. Look at this, that action, how to say it......"
Lin Dong couldn't help but interject: "Flowing water? Coherent? ”
"That's right! That's what it means! Behind him, there was a round of applause: "Ning Qiang's action, fast is fast, but when you reach into the quiver, you have to stop, you should be looking for arrows in the quiver." Again, when the arrow reaches the bowstring, you have to stop and adjust the position of the arrow feathers. Also, it seems that there will be a pause before shooting, so it should be the heart position of the target. Although the whole process may be faster than this one, there is always a feeling of unsmoothness when it looks like it. This one is different, the whole process, there was no pause at all, which is equivalent to people know the position of the arrows in the quiver well, and they can remember the exact location of the target heart at a glance. If you don't have talent, don't even think about it. ”
Lin Dong couldn't help but turn his head and glance back, and sitting behind him were two old men who were over fifty years old.
"Two old gentlemen, they have a lot of experience in archery!"
"That is, the two of us, who used to be archers in the barracks, should also be considered marksmen." An old man stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "However, compared with the one in the competition, decades of practicing archery are in vain." ”
"You're too modest." Lin Dong smiled politely, and his eyes were pulled back to the playing field again.
At this time, as he spoke, the Orion Youth had already slowly walked to the front of the fifth arrow target, drew his bow and shot the arrow, and in one go, the Orion Youth did not even look at the arrow that was shot, and slowly walked to the next position.
In this way, ten arrow targets in a row, all of them hit the heart position, and its speed was only one-third of the time compared to the previous one.
Rumble...... When the last arrow hit the red heart, the entire Lin Kee Gymnasium became a sensation.
"Good boy, if you want to be in the army." Behind him, the old man's excited shout sounded: "The custodian can be selected as a pro-guard, if he can learn martial arts, he may be able to be a big inner guard." ”
"He seems to be called Wan Xiliang, right? Just rush this archery, and use the left hand like me, and if there is a game with him in the future, I will definitely not lose a game. ”
"Call me when the time comes, I bet that he will be the first in the archery competition."
"Not necessarily, don't forget, none of the ten events in the archery competition at Lin Kee Gymnasium is faster and better looking than who shoots arrows. Not to mention anything else, with my archery skills, the competition of ten events, I also have the confidence that the arrows are ten ten, and the hundred arrows are down, and at most one or two arrows are missed. This means that with my archery skills, I can enter the final spring competition, not to mention it. The competition items in the spring competition seem to be more focused on physical strength, don't look at his youth, if you really want to compare with me, it may not be as good as my physical strength. ”
"Yes, but let me choose, I will definitely choose him to be the first."
"It's not up to you."
"Who said that? Look at this cheer, such a smooth movement, even if you don't know archery, you can see the power, there must be a lot of people who like him. If Wan Xiliang is not the first, who will come to Lin Kee Gymnasium in the future? I won't come again. The owner of his Lin Ji Gymnasium, he always wants to make money, right? If you want to find a way, you have to make Wan Xiliang the first. ”
"Not necessarily!" Lin Dong couldn't help but interject again.
"Is it difficult, the owner of Lin Ji Gymnasium, or is it not possible to lose money?" The old man snorted.
Lin Dong smiled: "I mean, even if Wan Xiliang is not the first, you will not necessarily come to Lin Ji Gymnasium." Not to mention anything else, Wan Xiliang will still participate in the competition next year, can you bear it? ”
"It seems to be ......," the old man said helplessly, "I can't help it." ”
"Besides, Wan Xiliang is not the only one who is powerful, if he is over eighty years old in the future, he will have the ability to wear Yang in 100 steps." Lin Dong said: "Two old gentlemen, don't you have to get rid of Wan Xiliang and support this old man instead?" ”
"This ......" The two were speechless, and it was not for nothing that the old man who was over eighty years old and had the ability to wear Yang in 100 steps. As for the two of them, if they are good at recuperation, they may be able to do it when they are eighty. The reason why I didn't participate in the competition was just because I had been a marksman for decades, and the money from the military camp subsidy was enough for a lifetime, and I was not interested in the prize money of the Lin Kee Gymnasium.
But this, it is difficult to ensure that I have watched too many competitions, and I will not run over to sign up for the competition in a few years.
As an old man, of course, he supports his peers.
In the competition field, the score has been counted, the arrow on the transparent arrow target is pulled out, and after the position is placed, not long after, another participant walked in.
Just watched the three arrows, and Lin Dong lost interest. Speaking of which, this archery is actually not bad. The first and second arrows both hit the hearts, and only the third arrow missed the hearts a little. But this action, after seeing Wan Xiliang, is really not eye-catching, and there is no feeling of being calm and free.
With his eyes slightly closed, Lin Dong sorted out ways to improve the attractiveness of Lin Kee Gymnasium.
If you want to improve the attractiveness of Lin Kee Stadium, the strength of the participants is undoubtedly the most important. However, this point cannot be improved in the short term. Then there is changing the limits of the game or shortening the schedule, both of which will not work either.
And then...... Lin Dong's mind suddenly flashed the conversation between the two old men behind him, these two, as they said just now, as long as it was Wan Xiliang's game, they were willing to come and watch.
There should be many viewers who are attracted by Wan Xi's cool and smooth archery skills in one go. It will definitely not work to let Wan Xiliang participate in the competition every day, but if there are one or two contestants with the same archery skills as Wan Xiliang in the daily competition, or with other characteristics, wouldn't it be equivalent to that the archery competition can guarantee a certain number of hardcore viewers every day.
Irons...... Star!
Lin Dong suddenly became enlightened, and he had to get some sports stars to come out. Find out some unique contestants, and then find a way to promote it to the extent that everyone knows it, and cultivate a certain number of hardcore audiences for them, and the audience for archery competitions will definitely improve significantly.
The same can be done for the other three competitions.
This alone is enough to bring the Lin Kee Gymnasium back to life.
Thinking of a way, Lin Dong was a little depressed, and suddenly became excited. As long as you use sports stars to survive the difficult period, wait until the strength of the contestants gradually improves, and add the hardcore audiences cultivated by sports stars, it is difficult for Lin Kee Gymnasium not to become popular.
If you want to cultivate a sports star, the first thing is undoubtedly that this person does have enough attractive characteristics.
Lin Dong thought about it a little, and immediately had a belly case. In terms of attraction, the audience is the biggest litmus test. When the time comes, get a popularity ranking, and each audience with tickets can vote once, and then send some guys to collect the information of these top-ranked contestants, so as not to worry about finding the features of promotion.
Moreover, this popularity ranking can be regarded as a good promotion. In addition, it can also allow the audience to buy tickets to support their favorite contestants, and indirectly increase the number of tickets sold at Lam Kee Stadium.
Kill three birds with one stone!
In the four major events, the time for each person to participate once is about ten days. If the popularity ranking is found as early as possible, one round is used to count the distinctive contestants, and the other round is used to observe his characteristics and collect information, it is equivalent to about 20 days before the first batch of sports stars can be officially launched.
Then there's the propaganda aspect.
In terms of the level of development of this world's propaganda, Lin Dong is naturally not afraid that there are no tricks available. After a little thought, a decision was made.
Make a few large billboards on each street, find a top painter, make a few domineering full-body color portraits on the billboards, and then explain in detail the characteristics of this person and the places or achievements that people talk about, and within ten days, it is guaranteed to make people memorize it like a stream.
In addition, you can also get a few big-character posters to parade the streets, specifically to promote sports stars who have the same day of competition or competition on the same stage, or a two-man competition, or a three-year championship...... As soon as the blood surged, there was no worry that no one would come to buy tickets.
There are ways to select and publicize sports stars, and the rest has to be dealt with in the aftermath.
It must be ensured that these sports stars will not abstain halfway through, or that they will not participate in the next year's competition. Otherwise, the cost of publicity is still a trivial matter, and the audience will lose more than they gain if they are unhappy with Lin Kee Stadium.
What's more, Lin Dong believes that once the Lin Ji Gymnasium becomes popular, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no Wang Ji Gymnasium, Liu Ji Gymnasium, and Ma Ji Gymnasium.
You have to sign a contract with these selected sports stars, and if you can't participate in any emergency, it's understandable that you can't participate in the competition, and if you don't participate in the competition, you won't lose tens of thousands of taels of silver, and you won't want to dig up any of them.
Fortunately, there are even house slaves in this world, as long as they sign the contract, they will give a certain amount of silver as a reward, and there should not be much conflict if they sign an overlord clause that can only compete in the Lin Kee Gymnasium for thirty or fifty years.
