Chapter 314: Interview
Holding hands together, Ning Yun was really embarrassed.
Ning Yun encouraged, "You can imagine the person interviewing you as your friend, a friend of the 12th district. Then be yourself and talk to him, like Gail. ”
"Gail." Katniss immediately replied, "But it's useless, I can't tell Gale about me, he knows it." ”
"What about me? Can you consider me a friend? ”
"I think so, but ......"
"I'll look at you, and when you look out into the audience, just sit there and answer as honestly as possible. Well, just treat everyone else like an eggplant. ”
"Eggplant?"
"Fruits and vegetables, whatever you want."
Katniss was amused: "Even those things that I think are terrible are told the truth?" ”
"Tell me the truth, especially when it comes to things that you find terrible." Ning Yun looked at Katniss gently, "You're going to try, right?" ”
Katniss nodded, a little shy.
This time it's genuinely shy rather than pretended.
Maybe I don't know how long it will last, but at least for now, Katniss has put all suspicions away.
In the elevator, Ning Yun and Katniss bumped into the others.
Black Mich and Effie also dressed up for the occasion.
The elevator doors opened, and other "tributes" were lining up to take the stage.
Soon the clock was approaching, and Katniss was terrified of being on stage.
Katniss was short of breath, dizzy, and her calves were shaking, fearing she would fall on the stage.
"Remember, they're already in love with you." Ning Yun whispered, "Just be yourself." ”
Even though it was night, the stage was as bright as day.
Whether it's a home or a public place, the TV is turned on.
The entire capital. All 12 districts are empty.
There will be no power outage tonight.
Caesar, the host of this talk show for many years, walked on stage in high spirits.
His image has hardly changed for decades, with a dark blue gown embellished with countless tiny sequins that twinkle like stars in the night sky.
In the capital. People go through plastic surgery to make themselves look younger and slimmer.
In the 12th arrondissement, aging is an achievement, as many have gone before him.
If you see an elderly person, you can simply congratulate them and ask for the secret of longevity.
The fat man is also jealous because he doesn't have to run for three meals a day like most people.
But in the capital, it is different, wrinkles are not good, and pot-bellied poop is not a sign of success, unless success is so successful that others dare not question it.
Caesar started by telling some jokes to set the mood. Let's get to the point.
The female contestant in Zone 1 looked sexy and sultry in a long golden sheer dress, and she walked to the center of the stage to be interviewed by Caesar.
It can be seen that her mentor has no trouble finding the focus of her appearance, with flowing blonde hair, emerald eyes, and a tall and well-proportioned figure...... Exuding sex from head to toe. The breath of the sense.
Each contestant is interviewed for only five minutes, and then the music reminds me of the next contestant.
Kaiser has indeed done his best to make each player show their strengths.
He tried to be amiable. Try to eliminate the tension of the players, and speak a little ridiculously. Even if the answer is not satisfactory, the interviewee can be impressed by his way.
The players in Zones 2, 3 and 4 all ended their interviews, and everyone seemed to have found their own angle of performance.
It seemed like a long time, and it seemed like an instant later, someone called out Katniss's name.
Katniss felt like a dream and stood up and walked to the center of the stage. Then sit down in a chair next to Caesar.
"Well, Katniss, the capital must be very different from the Twelfth District. What impressed you the most when you arrived? Caesar asked.
What the? What did he say? The voice Katniss heard seemed to drift from the distant horizon, indistinct.
"What impressed you the most when you arrived?" Caesar asked again.
Katniss searched her brain desperately for something to be happy about.
Recall Eric's words. Be yourself, be honest, Katniss said to herself, be honest!
"Lamb stew." Katnis's expression was a little confused.
Caesar laughed, and Katniss vaguely felt that some of the audience were laughing along.
"Well, Katniss," said Caesar confidently, "I will admit that my heart stopped beating when you appeared at the opening ceremony. What do you think of the costume? ”
"The main time I've been worrying about being burned alive, I mean!"
The audience burst into laughter.
"So, what about when you don't have to worry about being burned?" Caesar asked with a smile.
"I think, Ai ...... Sinner, it's amazing, it's the best I've ever seen, and when I put it on, I couldn't believe my eyes, like the one I'm wearing right now. ”
Katniss stood up and pulled up her dress and spread it out: "Oh, look! ”
The audience made a "hmm" sound.
Katniss caught eye on Eric backstage, his hand in a slight circle, and Katniss knew he was saying, "Turn around and I'll see." ”
Katniss spun around right away, and the audience reacted enthusiastically.
"Oh, one more spin!" Caesar said.
Katniss lifted her arms and spun around and around, her skirt fluttering with her turn.
Orange flames first ignited from the corners of the skirt and quickly spread across most of the skirt, radiating an intoxicating heat as Katniss turned.
Katniss is surrounded by flames!
For a moment, Katniss suspected that she had been killed by Eric, and immediately, she decided to believe him!
The audience was so excited, cheering loudly and enthusiastically!
There has never been a moment like this when Katniss felt her presence.
That is the clarity of the self, with the intensity of life.
It took more than ten seconds for the flames to go out and Katniss to stop.
"Don't stop!" Caesar shouted excitedly.
"I can't do it, I'm dizzy!" Katniss chuckled and let out a hearty laugh like she hadn't done before.
But suddenly, Katniss realizes where she is. Nervousness returned, plus dizziness.
Caesar stepped forward to help Katniss: "Don't worry, I've got you." ”
"Thank you!"
"It's okay," Caesar said to the audience, "she's safe with me." So, how about the training sessions. Ten...... One...... Divide. Reveal to us a little bit of the secret of your high score. ”
Katniss glanced at the scoring judges in the stands next to him and bit her lip: "Hmm...... All I can say is that it was only the first time. ”
"Look, you're always talking and you're going to kill us?" Caesar said, pretending to be in real pain, "Details, details. ”
Katniss looked at the judges, "I can't say, can I?" ”
One member of the jury. The frightened man who fell shouted, "She can't speak." ”
"Unfortunately, my mouth was sealed." Katniss made a gagged gesture.
"So, let's go back to the moment your sister's name was called out at the harvest festival." Caesar said, "You volunteered to take her place in The Hunger Games, can you tell us about her?" ”
"Her name is Polim, she's only twelve, and I love her more than anything." Katniss said hard.
At this time, there was silence in the audience, and the falling needles could be heard.
"After the ceremony. What did she say to you? Caesar asked.
Be honest, be honest. Katniss endured the pain in her heart. "She wants me to do everything I can to win the game."
The atmosphere of the audience was very solemn. Every word Katniss said echoed through the air.
"How do you answer?" Caesar asked softly.
At this moment, a cold feeling spread through Katnis's body, her body stiffened, her muscles tensed, and she seemed to be ready for a fight.
The pitch of the speech seemed to have dropped an octave as well: "I swear, I will." ”
"I'm sure you can do it." Caesar kissed the back of Katnis's hand. The music of the prompt sounds, "Sorry, we're up in time." Good luck, Katniss Everdeen from the 12th arrondissement. Burning girl! ”
The applause lasted for a long time.
Katniss looked at Ning Yun as he stepped off the stage, hoping to get his affirmation.
Ning Yun gave Katniss a thumbs up.
Katniss took the initiative to hug Ning Yun and said in Ning Yun's ear: "It's your turn, come on!" ”
"Thank you, bring your taste to the stage, I am more confident!"
Ning Yun calmly walked onto the stage and showed a gentle smile.
Because Ning Yun saw that under the stage, just in the front rows, there were many girls who had an overnight relationship with him.
They screamed, clapped enthusiastically, kissed, and their eyes sparkled!
That's not the look of "tribute"!
……
"That's very welcoming!" Caesar was a little confused, "It seems that the last of us is very popular." ”
Ning Yun was embarrassed, it seemed that there were too many of them......
Caesar pressed his hand down several times before the audience in the front row gradually calmed down.
"What is your deepest impression of the capital?"
This is almost the standard question that has lasted for seventy-four Hunger Games, and every contestant has answered, adding up to one thousand seven hundred and seventy-five answers, and by Ning Yun, it is the one thousand seven hundred and seventy-sixth.
"Not so good!"
The audience was quiet.
"Oh! That's a new answer! It's so much fun! Caesar was genuinely excited and turned to the audience, "See, do you see, for the first time since the Hunger Games of the Seventy-fourth, there is a tribute saying that he has a bad impression of the capital." Our Eric, what a brave boy! Come, let's applaud him! ”
A round of applause!
"Hah, let's ask him what he thinks." Caesar looked at Ning Yun happily: "Eric, I admire your courage, seriously, I appreciate your honest attitude very much, I think this must not be your mentor's opinion, right?" ”
The audience shouted in dissatisfaction with Caesar's appetizing behavior: "Let him say what's wrong!" ”
Ning Yun shrugged: "You guessed it, this is not my mentor's opinion. In fact, everyone can guess that the mentor's opinion is to make the audience like it. Even if it is defined as an arrogant type, don't offend the audience in the capital, because everyone knows that players need sponsorship, and they need a lot of sponsorship, and these sponsorships can only be given by the people of the capital. ”
Caesar waved at the disgruntled audience. Stirred up a ripple: "Okay, okay, it looks like we have to talk about the details, otherwise Eric, you and I will be ousted from power, anyway, we are the last couple." They don't care! ”
The audience laughed.
"Or let them hate it." Ning Yun made a gesture in quotation marks.
The audience laughed again.
Caesar waved his hand again and again: "Come on, tell me the details, what do you dislike about the capital?" ”
"First ......"
"There was even a first!" Caesar interrupted with a laugh.
"Of course!" Ning Yun raised his eyebrows, "I have a lot of dissatisfaction!" ”
The audience was amused.
All the people in the capital who watched in front of the TV couldn't stop laughing.
It's like New Yorkers hearing about coming north of New York because of the Xin Yun. The Korean is complaining about life in New York, and not only complaining, he has a lot of complaints.
"Quick, tell us." Caesar fart. strands, half of the body is turned around.
"As long as you don't interrupt me."
Caesar raised his hands: "I promise!" ”
"First of all, I don't like the food. It's too sweet and greasy, or it adds a lot of strange spices, and the taste is weird, and the key is that it's not delicate at all. ”
"It turned out to be food." Caesar was surprised, "As far as I know, in the twelfth arrondissement, well. There aren't many options for food, and sweets are a luxury. ”
The audience heard it. What Caesar wanted to say was that it was a problem to fill his stomach in the 12th district, and he even cared about the food in the capital.
"I know what you mean, but not everyone is, as long as you use your ingenuity, you can find a lot of ...... to eat"
Caesar interrupted again, "That doesn't sound realistic. I've interviewed a lot of players, and I've learned about life in District 12, and it's not easy to eat unless it's against the law......"
Caesar was tempted to say that it was not a matter of access, but a matter of policy.
"No, no, no. I mean, a lot of things can be eaten, like cicada chrysalis. ”
"Cicada chrysalis? What do you mean? ”
"The larvae of cicadas, which can be fried or stir-fried, have a good taste and are rich in nutrients."
"Ugh!" Caesar's face changed drastically, "You, well, I think you must have done well in the wilderness survival course in training." ”
"It's nothing, you can also raise maggots to feed chickens, chicken manure ......"
"Stop! Stop it! Caesar hurriedly stopped, "Don't say any more, we're not an agricultural show." ”
"Okay!" Ning Yun spread his hands, "Frankly, the food is barely good, but it's too rough. You know that there is a saying in the East, "you don't get tired of eating, you don't get tired of fine", like your capital, people are big fish and big meat are placed there, and there is really a bit of primitive and natural style! ”
The audience was very dissatisfied with Eric's disguised sarcasm.
This is too much!
However, there are also some people who agree that he is right, our capital has been victorious for nearly a hundred years, and it is too backward to maintain the so-called low-end luxury style of drinking and eating meat in large chunks.
Caesar spoke on behalf of a lot of people: "I think a lot of people don't feel that you are qualified to make such a comment. ”
Ning Yun smiled and took out the meat muffins from his pocket, opened the package, and handed them to Caesar: "Try this." ”
"What is this?"
"The food I make, the meat muffins, try to like it or not, and by the way, Katniss likes it."
"Are you sure there are no chrysalis or maggots in there?" Caesar really didn't dare to do it.
"Of course not, you have to believe me, although I don't know what meat is in it, or if there is meat at all, but it can be eaten."
"Wait, didn't you say you did it?"
"Sorry for being honest." Ning Yun laughed, "Just kidding, this is a selection of pork, probably, Qing. Really, I can't talk nonsense about this, it's a pity. In short, you can rest assured! ”
"I decided to dedicate my life to the show!" Caesar gritted his teeth, "I'm going to eat it, I'm going to eat it!" ”
There was warm applause from the audience!
"Shot, give close-up! Come and shoot this, what is it called, yes, meat muffins! Caesar shouted.
A macro lens came over, and the TV was full of round meat muffins that took up a screen.
It looks sweet and appetizing.
On the top of the cake is a row of numbers, as if it is the number of the meat muffin, or the date, no one knows, because everyone does not know the two big Chinese characters under the line of numbers, but presumably, it is the unique sign of the meat muffin, maybe Eric also wants to develop his own brand, which reads - apply for a certificate!
