Chapter 162: Skydiving!
Even if there is no precedent for giving the precious quota of a program at the level of "The Masked God of Songs" to non-company contracted artists, in the current situation, there is really no one more suitable than Xiao Ning.
Now not only Sun Ye thinks so, but even other people in the Xuanji Music Division in the WeChat group also think so.
Then there is nothing to hesitate about.
After explaining the relevant matters to the people below, Sun Ye directly called Xiao Ning in line with the idea of ventilating in advance.
When Xiao Ning received his call, he was on a fixed-wing parachute diving trainer plane 3,200 meters above the outskirts of Jiangcheng.
Trainers like this one that are specifically designed for skydiving are generally not closed.
So as soon as Xiao Ning answered the phone at this moment, Sun Ye keenly noticed that the wind on the other end of the phone seemed to be very strong.
If it's not Xiao Ning who answers the phone.
So the wind is very windy, and this detail is nothing.
The key person who answered the phone was Xiao Ning.
So when Sun Ye found out about this detail, he was originally going to get straight to the point and get down to business, so he put aside the matter of the "Masked God of Songs" program for the time being, and first said a few friendly greetings.
"Xiao Ning, where are you now? Why is the wind so strong? ”
"No...... What are you doing? ”
"Drag racing? Climbing a stairs? Or something else? ”
Speaking of this, Sun Ye hurriedly said: "You are like this, you are busy and call me back, don't you do anything dangerous while answering the phone......
Do I often do some dangerous things while answering the phone?
What kind of stereotype is this?
Xiao Ning said with a strange expression: "Minister Sun, I didn't do any dangerous operations, and now it's safe, you can say something directly." ”
"Then why does this phone call sound so windy? Where are you? ”
"Well, it's because I'm in the sky, on the plane......"
"Airplane...... Above? ”
Sun Ye was stunned and said dumbfounded: "Good guy, are you flying on an open-top plane?" ”
Xiao Ning: "......"
After Xiao Ning made it clear to Sun Ye that he had made an appointment with the skydiving club for a skydiving club today, and that the coach took him to a tandem skydive, Sun Ye finally put his mind at ease.
Skydiving itself is a serious sport, and although Sun Ye has not experienced it personally, he has also heard that skydiving, especially high-altitude skydiving, is very safe.
At least in the Dragon Country, there has not been a single accident of tandem skydiving.
Sun Ye hurriedly got down to business.
After learning that the other party called and wanted to take the quota of Xuanji Entertainment to participate in the recording of the "Masked God of Songs" program, Xiao Ning did not refuse in a hurry, but listened to Sun Ye tell the general situation of the whole thing.
After Sun Ye finished speaking, he originally thought that Xiao Ning would hesitate or even refuse to come.
After all, although the bonus of this show is good, it is only a drop in the bucket for Xiao Ning today, and in addition, Xiao Ning is not a singer who always likes to show his head.
Who would have thought that Xiao Ning would directly agree to this.
For the evergreen of the music variety show "The Masked God of Songs", Xiao Ning actually has a certain understanding of it.
The reason why "The Masked God of Songs" has the word "masked" is actually because all the singers participating in the show need to be masked, and all the singers who appear on this show need to sing songs under the condition of masking and disguise.
Coupled with the rule that singers will be forced not to sing their own released songs, so during the show, the audience and even the judges can only guess to define the true identity of the singers on stage.
In the rules of the program, the identity of the singer will be revealed, and it will be after the singer is eliminated or the final is over.
Because the rules of the whole show are designed to be very dramatic, the ratings of this music show have always been quite good, and the popularity on the Internet is also top-notch.
If you can participate in this show, the gain in fame and popularity is undoubtedly huge.
And if this show can really win the ranking in the end, the bonus will be rich in similar programs.
Of course, in fact, for singers who have the ability to win the ranking, this bonus is actually just like that.
All music variety shows are counted as one, and the bonuses are actually not high, and the biggest benefit of this kind of TV show for participating singers is visibility, fame, traffic, and popularity.
However, the reason why Xiao Ning agreed to Sun Ye to participate in this show was neither for the bonus of the show, nor for the reason why he wanted to rely on this show to pull a wave of popularity and traffic.
Since "Strength Creator" became popular, Xiao Ning has actually always had a knot.
That is, among the growing fan base with his popularity, there are actually fewer people who really come to his songs than those who watch the excitement and like extreme sports.
In such a situation, for Xiao Ning, as a singer, he has always felt that the cart is somewhat upside down.
In addition, although one song after another can hit various charts, and the playback data is quite good, Xiao Ning always feels that these glory and achievements are not so pure.
There are a lot of people who actually listen to the songs, but the fact that these music can perform so well is actually helped by a large number of his other component fans.
And if he can participate in the show "The Masked God of Songs", he can sing new songs with a different voice and singing style from usual under complete disguise, which is very pure.
It's all about the song itself to move people.
Rather than relying on the additional effect brought by the word "Xiao Ning".
"It's kind of fun to think about anyway."
After hanging up the call with Sun Ye, Xiao Ning was still thinking about "The Masked God of Song" in his heart.
"The first program recording was ten days later, so I had a lot of time."
"As for what song to sing in the first show......
"Although the rules are as long as you don't sing the songs you have released, it means that you can sing the songs of other singers, but if you choose to cover it, it will inevitably make the listeners preconceived to compare it with the original song."
"If you sing a cover, this is the most embarrassing part."
"In fact, the cover itself is to interpret a song in its own style, but once the listener thinks that the original song is the best, and then compares the cover singer with the original song, this will cause the cover to naturally lose half."
"So it's better to sing a new song."
After confirming this, Xiao Ning, who did not have a new song at hand, shook his head with a smile.
"Although I have a lot of time, I still try to get the Red Bull side ready to jump off the Twin Towers as soon as possible, and see if I can get a suitable song after this task is completed."
At this time.
Xiao Ning was still thinking about "The Masked God of Song" in his heart, and he didn't notice that the coach sitting on the plane door had been staring at him for a while.
According to the parachuting club, he was a retired paratrooper from the old army, and he has been engaged in skydiving-related sports since he retired, so he can be said to be experienced.
Although he also has the habit of listening to music, he mostly listens to some foreign language DJ electronic music songs that he himself can't understand at all, so he doesn't know Xiao Ning.
At this time, the experienced skydiving instructor took the initiative to laugh and said: "Young man, skydiving is very safe, you don't have to be too nervous." ”
His words interrupted Xiao Ning's train of thought.
Nervous?
Me?
Xiao Ning was stunned for a moment, and then immediately realized why the coach was talking to him like this.
Whether it was when he was on the phone with Sun Ye or when he was just thinking about the show in his heart, he nodded for a while and shook his head for a while, and his expression also changed in various ways.
It is probably because of these that the coach feels that he is nervous.
Xiao Ning didn't think much about it, and nodded to the coach with a smile.
The coach patted him on the shoulder: "There's a statistic that you may not know. ”
"There are 30,000 or 40,000 people in our Dragon Kingdom who do skydiving every year, and there are more than 100 people on average every day."
"But so far, there haven't been any accidents in the skydiving sector."
"It can be said that in extreme sports, skydiving is the safest."
"I used to be a paratrooper and retired, don't worry, young man, you don't have to think about safety, I promise it's okay."
The data does sound secure.
The experience of paratrooper retirement is certainly quite sufficient.
But the reason why extreme sports are extreme sports is because there is no such thing as "absolute" in any extreme sports.
There are no absolute limits, and there is no absolute safety.
Even extreme sports with high safety levels such as skydiving can also have the potential for accidents.
And once an accident occurs in this high-altitude type of extreme sports, there is no such thing as "injury", and the only option you have is "death".
Although he thought of these in his heart, in fact, Xiao Ning basically agreed with the coach's statement.
In order to reassure the coach who misunderstood his nervousness, Xiao Ning took the initiative to talk: "Coach Zhao, right, when you served in the past, was there any difference between parachuting in the army and civilian skydiving?" ”
Seeing Xiao Ning take the initiative to talk about this, Coach Zhao smiled lightly: "There is indeed a difference, although they are all parachuting, but this kind of parachuting we are doing now, it is a sports nature after all, and the parachuting in the army is completely mission nature." ”
"As a paratrooper, you not only have to undertake the general task of parachuting, but in many cases, you also have to parachute under very extreme conditions."
"For example, although we now call this kind of skydiving at an altitude of two or three thousand meters a high-altitude skydiving, in fact, in wartime, there are some special circumstances that require parachuting at more extreme altitudes."
"For example, an unsafe skydive altitude of more than 5,000 meters, for example, a skydive in a specific plateau area......"
"In addition, there are some more dangerous low-altitude skydives, BASE jumps and other special situations that require special circumstances."
"In short, compared with the sport of parachuting, skydiving in the army is more dangerous."
Speaking of this, Coach Zhao suddenly sighed.
"You know what happened in '08, right?"
"I was still in the army at the time."
"The fifteen airborne soldiers who jumped from those 5,000 meters have my comrades-in-arms."
"They were skydiving in extremely hostile conditions, and when they jumped, they didn't even know where they landed......"
When Coach Zhao said this, Xiao Ning suddenly became in awe of this coach.
"I didn't expect you to have such an experience......"
"It's not my experience, to be precise, it should be the experience of my comrades-in-arms, I was a little older and didn't get selected."
"Then you're amazing, too." Xiao Ning said from the bottom of his heart.
At this moment, the parachute trainer has flown to the intended airspace for the parachute jump.
Xiao Ning's headphones sounded the voice of the captain in the cockpit.
"Lao Zhao, I've arrived at the position, I'm about to descend to a predetermined altitude, and I can prepare to skydive......"
"Say whatever you see suitable, anyway, this young man is the only one who jumps this time."
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Xiao Ning spent a lot of money to charter a plane directly today.
The so-called charter plane means that the training plane usually carries several students to skydive, and he is the only one who wants to skydive.
After the captain's words, Coach Zhao replied yes, and then grabbed the railing on the side and looked directly at the situation below from the open cabin door.
Subsequently, Coach Zhao communicated with the captain: "There are clouds next to you, let's lean forward a little." ”
When the skydiving trainer plane drove forward according to Coach Zhao's intentions.
Coach Zhao, who had just tied Xiao Ning with a skydiving strap and was checking the safety buckle and other parts, said with a smile: "Don't be afraid later!" ”
"People who skydive for the first time, that is, when they just jump, will panic."
"The other is to open the umbrella, and when you open it, you will panic a little."
"This is how it happened at the moment when the umbrella was opened......"
"Originally, people were only affected by the two forces of air resistance and gravity, in fact, it is the free fall movement of gravity minus air resistance, if you suddenly open the umbrella, because of the umbrella, the air resistance will instantly increase, so that after the gravity subtracts the air resistance at that time, the downward force will suddenly become very small, so at that moment you will definitely feel that the whole body is being pulled up."
"It feels normal, you're a young man, you should learn physics better than me."
"So don't panic later, and don't mess around in the air or anything."
Speaking kung fu, Coach Zhao has completed all the security checks.
As for what Coach Zhao said, Xiao Ning nodded very seriously: "Good coach." ”
Then, he glanced outside the hatch under the plane.
The plane had already flown out of the range of the clouds that Coach Zhao had just said, and at this time, Xiao Ning could clearly see the incomparably small farmland below.
Here, it is 2,432 meters above the farmland in the northern suburbs of Jiangcheng City.
"Can we jump now?"
Coach Zhao glanced down.
"That's it."
"Young man, if you don't have a place to catch it later, just grab the strap on your shoulder, don't move around!"
"Good coach."
Subsequently, Coach Zhao said "prepare to skydive" in the headset, then pulled out the headset, and took Xiao Ning to the cabin door with his hand on the railing.
Tandem skydiving shares an umbrella bag, and Coach Zhao at this time is carrying an umbrella on his back, and Xiao Ning is fixed in front of him with a strap in front of him, so when they go forward, the two are moving together.
After arriving at the edge of the hatch, Coach Zhao motioned for Xiao Ning to stretch out a foot to feel it.
Xiao Ning complied.
After glancing at Xiao Ning's face and not reacting, Coach Zhao suddenly glanced at him.
I looked nervous before, but I didn't expect to be so calm when I really started jumping?
"Jump down! Stick out the other foot! ”
At the same time as Coach Zhao shouted, Xiao Ning stretched out his foot.
The two of them clung to each other and flew straight down from the cabin door together!
I'm a cute girl
