Chapter 124 The Stage Is Set

After hearing what Zheng Jing said, Hu Gen thought for a moment and said, "There is no indoor stadium in Yanjing with a straight-line distance of more than 200 meters, so the Yuanmen Shooting Halberd Competition can only be held outdoors.

The winds that blow in Yanjing in winter are mostly northwest winds.

My suggestion is that you find a fixed leeward venue, concentrate on training for a few days and adapt to the environment.

This way you have a better chance of success.

You can shoot three or five arrows in a row, and if you can hit one, then you have succeeded in the challenge."

Zheng Jing took a sip of tea and said, "I have a horse farm near Taishizhuang, so why not choose the venue there.

After today's selection is over, Director Hu, you can come with me and I will demonstrate it to you first."

Since he couldn't find an indoor venue, Zheng Jing didn't plan to choose too much and decided to hold the press conference directly at his own horse farm.

You can also advertise the horse farm.

As for training, Zheng Jing can find time to practice.

The scenes of Full House in Ludao have been filmed, and the next step is to reshoot the beginning of the script in Yanjing, where the heroine is tricked into traveling to Yanjing and meets the hero.

"That's great!" Hu Gen poured Zheng Jing a full cup of tea and said with a smile, "I look forward to your performance."

Zheng Jing chatted with Hu Gen for a while and then left the office.

He called Du Wei and explained everything to her.

Afterwards, he walked into Yangshi's Studio 1 and participated in the Spring Festival Gala audition.

It’s called a selection, but it’s actually just a rehearsal.

Everyone went on stage with makeup on and performed.

The director team will decide the program list based on the program effects and various connections.

Zheng Jing saw many familiar faces, but they all just nodded politely and were busy preparing for the show, so there was not much communication.

The songs he and Jing Tian sang were all recorded in advance and lip-synced.

At around 3 pm, both of them finished their performances.

The director team gave it a pretty good review.

After the selection, Zheng Jing brought Hu Gen to Taishizhuang and performed the shooting of the halberd at the gate.

The bow he used was the 4-stone bow provided by Hu Lei last time.

After seeing Zheng Jing shooting the halberd at the gate on the set, this archery enthusiast gave the bow to Zheng Jing.

After finding a relatively sheltered place, Zheng Jing shot 5 arrows seriously, with a hit rate of 5 out of 2.

With the physical talent of Lu Bu among men, Zheng Jing truly brought out the power of the skill of "shooting the halberd at the gate".

Moreover, one advantage of the skills rewarded by the system is that even if you don’t practice them for a long time, your level can be maintained at a high level.

Even though only two out of five arrows hit the target, this was shooting a halberd at the gate, and even Lu Bu couldn't guarantee that he would hit the target.

Of course, if you can practice diligently and maintain your physical condition, the effect of your skills will definitely be better.

When Hu Gen saw that Zheng Jing hit the target with two arrows out of five, he was also astonished and very excited.

He discussed it with Zheng Jing and then arranged a job for the station.

After Hu Gen left, Zheng Jing and Du Wei went to find the village committee of Taishizhuang.

Taishizhuang is vigorously developing the tourism industry and also hopes to catch this wave of traffic.

The two sides hit it off.

Early in the morning of December 12, Yangshi Morning News broadcast a short message.

"Earlier, our station reported a news story about actor Zheng Jingyuan shooting a halberd at a gate, which sparked heated discussions at home and abroad.

In order to celebrate the coming of the new year, Zheng Jing decided to publicly demonstrate the unique skill of shooting the halberd at the gate at the Golden Eagle Horse Farm in Taishizhuang on January 2001, 1.

Media from all countries and people from all walks of life are welcome to come and appreciate China's ancient archery skills.

It is reported that Taishizhuang will also hold a New Year temple fair and warmly welcome tourists. "

Accompanying this short message is Zheng Jing's war scene in Lu Bu and Diao Chan.

Lu Bu, played by Zheng Jing, shot a halberd with his left hand and an arrow with his right hand, killing all the enemies and making them fall to the ground.

Yangshi’s report was still relatively subtle. The doubts turned into heated discussions, and the reason for showing the shooting of the halberd at the gate became a celebration of the New Year.

However, when combined with the scene of Lu Bu killing the enemy, anyone with a keen eye can still see the irony in it.

Just tell those who have doubts to prepare to be defeated by Zheng Jing.

As soon as this news came out, the outside world was in an uproar, and not only domestic media rushed to report it.

The media in Korea and Japan reprinted the news and interviewed relevant people as soon as possible.

The Goryeo Archery Association immediately stated that it would send someone to the scene to supervise and would never allow Zheng Jing and Huaguo to cheat;

Kenichi Yamamoto, president of the Japanese Kyudo Federation, said in an interview that he would personally lead a team to Yanjing to watch Zheng Jing's performance.

James Hill from the American Hunters Association posted his plane tickets directly online.

……

On December 12, a dozen Japanese people arrived at the Capital International Airport by plane.

An old man with gray hair and a long beard was standing at the arrival gate to greet the passengers.

"President Yamamoto, welcome to China."

"Naito-kun, thank you for your contribution to promoting Japanese Kyudo."

This group of people are from the Japanese Kyudo Federation. They came to China specifically to watch Zheng Jingyuan shoot the halberd.

The old man who picked us up at the airport was named Kei Naito, and he was a fifth-degree martial arts master in Japanese archery.

He came to China more than ten years ago to promote Japanese Kyudo and established the "Qiushi Kyudo Hall" at Tianjin Institute of Physical Education.

"Naito-kun, let me introduce you. This is Princess Kako, the daughter of Prince Akishino."

Kenichi Yamamoto did not introduce other people first, but respectfully invited a 6-year-old girl and introduced her to Kei Naito seriously.

Upon hearing Princess Kako's identity, Naito Kei immediately bowed.

The extent of the bow attracted many people's attention at the airport.

Jiazi is only 6 years old and looks very cute, like a doll.

She said in a baby voice: "I am here only as a student of Kyudo, to see the ancient Chinese archery skills.

Please don’t be so polite.”

The little girl spoke very politely and looked very well-behaved, but her wandering eyes betrayed her and it was obvious that she was not a person who would keep quiet.

Naito Kei looked at Murata Ichiro behind Yamamoto Kenichi and said, "Princess Kako must be Master Murata's disciple. Congratulations."

Like karate, Japanese Kyudo originated from China and developed into different schools, among which Ogasawara-ryu, Hioki-ryu, Honda-ryu, Yamato-ryu, etc. are more popular.

These schools can be roughly divided into two factions.

One of them is the "martial shooting school", which still focuses on actual combat and emphasizes the power and accuracy of shooting; the other is the "etiquette shooting school", which pays more attention to etiquette norms, adopts the spirit of Kyudo, "takes the right and avoids the strange", and "Kyudo does not require seeking the middle".

To put it bluntly, it's just a show. As long as you have the spirit of Kyudo, it doesn't matter whether you hit the target or not.

In modern society, the ceremonial archery system is more in line with social reality, so it has gradually gained the upper hand, while the martial arts archery system has somewhat declined.

Akishino Kako is a princess of the Japanese royal family and pays more attention to etiquette training.

So Naito Kei believed that she learned from the master of ceremonial archery, Ichiro Murata.

Unexpectedly, after these words were spoken, Murata's face turned gloomy.

Yamamoto Kenichi smiled and said, "Princess Kako is full of energy. She will study with me for the time being."

Kenichi Yamamoto is a Hioki-ryu archer, belonging to the Butashi school.

"Damn Marseille!"

Naito Kei quickly apologized and started bowing again.

This attracted the attention of everyone at the airport.

"Mom, are these people from Japan? They keep bowing. How interesting!"

"Shut up! Ever since you learned the tongue skill, you have lost control of your mouth. I'm going to ask your master to teach you a lesson!"

Three beauties, two adults and one child, pushed their suitcases out of the arrival gate.

Seeing this group of Japanese people bowing continuously, Liu Yifei couldn't help but make a joke.

After being scolded by her mother, Liu Yifei was not afraid. She smiled and said, "Master must be practicing archery now. He has to prepare for the gate shooting and has no time to take care of me.

How about we go straight to the horse farm and give Master a surprise?"

Liu Xiaoli shook her head and said, "Your master is filming on the set and not at the racecourse. Let's go to the hotel first."

Hearing this, Liu Yifei was unhappy.

"Why do you know that Master is filming, but I don't?
Damn it, I asked him on QQ and he didn’t even reply to me.

I was worried about him, thinking he was practicing archery!"

Liu Xiaoli saw that her daughter was angry, and for some reason, she felt very happy.

She smiled and said, “Your master dares to perform publicly, of course he is confident.

With his ability, there is no need for him to practice every day."

"Yeah, let's go visit him then!"

Liu Xiaoli looked at Zhou Wenqiong, who teased, "It's rare that you still remember me, calling me Master every day.

Let’s put our luggage away first before going to visit the set.

I haven’t been on a film crew for a long time, so I don’t know what the domestic film crews are like now.”

The three girls left chatting and laughing.

They thought the Japanese were conspicuous, but they didn't expect that three beauties walking together would also be the focus of the crowd.

Naito Kei understood Chinese, and he heard Liu Yifei's first sentence.

Looking at the backs of the three women, Naito Jing said, "The girl who just walked past might be Zheng Jing's disciple."

Yamamoto Kenichi asked, "Really? Is it such a coincidence?"

"Listening to their conversation, it should be true. They said Zheng Jing is very strong and doesn't need to practice.

He didn't prepare for the archery performance at all, but was just filming on the set."

"So arrogant, just like Lu Bu!" Yamamoto Kenichi sighed: "I hope Zheng Jingyuanmen's halberd shooting will succeed!"

For Kenichi Yamamoto, he really hoped that Zheng Jingyuan's shooting of the halberd would be successful.

The promotion of a sport requires the outstanding performance of great athletes.

The emergence of Jordan brought the NBA to a new height.

The controversy over Zheng Jing's shooting of the halberd at the gate attracted a lot of attention.

If he really succeeds, it will be of great benefit to the promotion of the sport of archery.

Besides, Yamamoto Kenichi himself is a martial arts archer.

Shooting the halberd at the gate embodies the power and accuracy of the bow and arrow. If Zheng Jing succeeds, he will be able to demonstrate the violent beauty of the bow and arrow.

Save the decline of the Wushe school in Japan.

This is also the reason why Kenichi Yamamoto was so active in coming to China and brought Princess Kako with him.

Not only that, Kenichi Yamamoto also brought a three-person filming team.

He wanted to make a documentary about the Chinese people's watching of the shooting of the halberds at the gate.

If Zheng Jing succeeds, Yamamoto will sell the documentary to TV stations, which will make money and promote Kyudo.

I can only say that when it comes to cultural promotion, the Japanese are really professional.

Naito Kei nodded and said, "Please come with me to the hotel to rest. Tomorrow we will verify our identities and apply for guest certificates.

For important guests, China has arranged viewing seats.”

"Oh? It seems that China also attaches great importance to this event."

Naito Kei said: “Zheng Jing’s performance attracted a lot of international media.

The Chinese side does take it very seriously.

Our Japanese media such as Yahoo News and Asahi Shimbun also sent people to report on this matter.

According to reports from China, the Golden Eagle Racecourse is already setting up a temporary grandstand."

Hearing this, Yamamoto Kenichi was very happy. He smiled and said, "The more people pay attention, the better! Our archery world hasn't been so lively for a long time!

The stage is set, and we are just waiting for Zheng Jing to perform."

Murata Ichiro snorted and said, "Shooting the Halberd at the Gate is just a legend, and Zheng Jing is unlikely to be able to accomplish it.

The worst that can happen is that he can just apologize. After all, he's just a star and it's enough that he's famous.

In the end, we, the Kyudo, suffered the most."

Upon hearing this, Kenichi Yamamoto remained silent. This was what he was most worried about.

After all, shooting the halberd at the gate is too difficult and it is beyond human power.

Jiazi suddenly said: "I believe in Zheng Jing, he will definitely succeed."

Yamamoto asked, “Why?”

"I believe it! Teacher, if Zheng Jing succeeds, can I become his disciple?"

Kenichi Yamamoto: "..."
