Chapter 455: Horseback Archery Shocks Japan

In China, "National Glory" is a large-scale variety show that is broadcast simultaneously on CCTV Channel 3 and 4.

Channel 3 is an entertainment channel, so it is natural for it to broadcast variety shows.

Channel 4 is an international channel, aimed at international audiences and used to make China's voice known to the world.

As for watching the news, it is said that the ratings are okay, but after watching it a few times, Su Zhe always feels that it is too "positive". Several of the ace programs are current affairs news, which is not attractive enough to ordinary people.

Maybe a high-end influence?

This time, "National Glory" may help the four sets attract more audiences?

However, in Japan, more viewers still watch the show through NHK TV.

Sakura Snow and her girlfriends gathered around the TV, chattering about:

"This show has Kenji Sagara! He really gets more charming as he gets older!"

"And Shuichi who just debuted, he's such a pretty boy."

Sakurayuki couldn't help but waved her phone and shouted:

"Don't forget Su Zhe, he is the most handsome."

Her words provoked a rebuttal from her girlfriends:

"How can you speak for the enemy?"

"This is 'National Glory', we have to support Kenji!"

Sakura Xue held her lips tightly and said nothing, but when she saw Su Zhe put on a Tang suit, looking heroic, gentle and elegant, she couldn't help herself:

"Ahhh! So handsome!"

This time, her besties did not refute her, but shouted together, unable to help but thinking:

"I'm sorry to our celebrities, but Su Zhe is really more handsome than them."

"It's just a variety show, not the Olympics. Is it okay for me to cheer for Su Zhe?"

Next, thanks to Gong Huaichang's design, the game sessions were peaceful, full of laughter and no tension.

This also relieved Sakura Snow and her girlfriends of their psychological burden, allowing them to appreciate Su Zhe's beauty without any worries:

"He looks so handsome when he smiles."

"He's so strong that he was able to pick up Shuichi and throw him out during sumo wrestling."

"Don't hug Shuichi, hug me."

It was not until Su Zhe left the stage and was replaced by an ugly man (Li Daoqiang) that Sakura Xue turned her eyes away from the TV screen and logged into Twitter on her mobile phone.

But unfortunately, on Twitter, "National Glory" is not ranked high.

Unlike China and South Korea, the ratings of reality shows in Japan are average and cannot compare to TV dramas.

Moreover, their reality shows do not have much influence abroad. Even when searching for Japanese variety shows in China, they are generally prefixed with the word "perverted".

The titles are usually something like "Look at how the perverted Japanese variety shows prank the artists."

This has led to a lack of discussion on "National Glory" on Twitter.

On the contrary, on Instagram - an app mainly used for sharing pictures, a bit like Xiaohongshu - there are a large number of screenshots of the show.

Almost every screenshot is a close-up of Su Zhe, with the tag #苏哲# and the comments read:

[Who is this Chinese star? He is so handsome! ]

[Who can tell me who Su Zhe is? He is so charming! ]

Conan fan Sakura Snow immediately replied happily:

[He is the original creator of "Detective Conan"! He is really talented. ]

But the responses were confusing:

[Isn't "Detective Conan" a Japanese comic? 】

[Is he a cartoonist? Isn’t he a star?]

Sakura Snow found that many people really don’t pay attention to the people behind the scenes, so she had to introduce them in a different way:

[He is China's Kenji Sagara, who started out as an idol and became an actor. He has won the Tokyo Film Emperor Award! He is also a very talented creator. ]

She felt that it was appropriate to compare Su Zhe to Kenji Sagara, as both were idols who had transformed into talented actors.

Moreover, the two of them happened to participate in "National Glory" together, so their fame in their respective countries should be similar, right?

This analogy was quickly understood by passers-by, who exclaimed:

[Huaxia Kenci? So amazing! ]

[He looks so young, is he the best actor? ]

[It turns out that she not only has good looks, but also acting skills! 】

Passersby understood, but fans of Kenji Sagara were unhappy, and they were crazy @桜雪, questioning her:

[How can you compare that Chinese guy to Kenji? He doesn't deserve it! ]

[My brother is unique, no one can compare to him! ]

[I heard from overseas Chinese students that Xianci is a role model in China, and Suzhe is not worthy of being compared with him.]

[Can stars from underdeveloped countries compare with our Japanese stars? ]

Sakura Xue was very unhappy when she saw these replies, but she didn't dare to refute.

What made her even more unhappy were some comments from passers-by:

[How boring! Reality shows are all fake! ]

[I would rather watch prank variety shows, at least they really torture the artists, rather than writing scripts for them to falsely show their abilities.]

[Su Zhe is not that strong at all, it's just that the Chinese production team cheated and made him win all the games.]

But Sakurayuki didn't know how to refute these comments.

Because reality shows really seem to be scripted?

"Being handsome is enough anyway." Sakura Yuki muttered to herself.

Her friends call her:

"Stop looking at your phone and watch the show! Su Zhe is going to perform horseback archery!"

"Horseback archery?" Sakurayuki looked at the TV curiously.

Su Zhe changed into a set of tight-fitting clothes, carried a bow and arrows on his back, and stood beside the horse.

The playful wind outlined his slender body, making him look even more heroic, and his sharp eyes seemed to be able to pierce through the screen.

Sakurayuki heard the sound of swallowing saliva coming from beside her. The flamboyant Sakura girls stopped screaming and silently digested the throbbing in their hearts.

The handsomeness of the face is a treat for the eyes only.

The overflowing heroic spirit attracts the soul.

Those damn hormones!

Gong Huaichang arranged a whole series of games for the program, trying his best to weaken the competitiveness, but when it came to horse riding and archery, it was finally kept to its original form without much interference.

So Su Zhe mounted his horse, whipped the horse, drew his bow and shot an arrow on the horse, which pierced the target.

While Sakura Xue was stunned, Su Zhe did not stop. He bent the bow sideways, turned around and shot arrows, shooting five sharp arrows in various postures, and every arrow hit the target.

There was no editing, the camera shot the entire thing in one continuous shot, and all the audience saw with their own eyes the process of the arrow hitting the target.

Unless the program team used special effects and colluded with Japanese celebrities to make them play "Dong Qing", this cannot be a script!

Then the camera switched to the faces of other guests.

The Japanese stars all had expressions of disbelief, and some even went to the target to personally check the arrows, almost wanting to swear, as if they wanted to say:

"You want us to compete with him in horseback archery?"

They all showed a busy expression.

In contrast, all the Chinese stars had calm expressions, as they were no longer surprised.

Sakura Snow was dumbfounded:

"They already knew that Su Zhe's archery skills were so high?"

My girlfriends screamed:

“He really can shoot!”

"Don't shoot the target, shoot me!"

"Don't be so naughty, you will really get shot to death."

Sakura Snow: ...

She ignored her crazy girlfriends and quickly went online to find that the audience who had just mocked "reality shows are all scripted" had been ridiculed:

<divclass="contentadv">【Let's talk about the script! Why don't you try horseback archery? 】

[Isn't this too exaggerated? Why would a star be able to ride and shoot? Is he a retired athlete? ]

[(International student) Su Zhe practiced horseback archery in order to play the role of the Chinese god of war. The Xiongnu people said he could be called a "shooter".]

[China's God of War? I know, Lu Bu! ]

[(International student)...It's Huo Qubing! Lü Bu is not even worthy of carrying his shoes! ]

[This is not the point. The point is that he learned horse riding and archery just for acting? Isn't that too exaggerated? ]

Sakurayuki also heard this for the first time and exclaimed:

"It turns out that Susan is more powerful than I thought."

If Su Zhe's horse archery skills were put in real life, anyone would praise him as awesome, but since this is online, there will always be people who say he needs to practice more:

[Hehe, a bow with a small poundage can only be used for performance. It has no killing power and cannot be used on the battlefield. ]

[This bow is just like a toy. I practiced for two days and I can shoot more accurately than him! ]

Sakurayuki couldn't help herself and retorted:

[Su Zhe is an actor. It would be enough for him to act well in TV dramas. Why would he go to the battlefield? ]

[(International student) Yes, if he goes to the battlefield, wouldn’t he just kill Xiao Ri? ]

[(Sakura Snow) That’s right! Isn’t it just… huh? ]

Sakura felt something was wrong, but before she could figure it out, she was interrupted by her besties:

"Change the bow! Increase the difficulty!"

She couldn't help but look up and found that the program crew had put two layers of armor on the target, and used a knife to chop it, an electric drill to drill holes, and an electric saw to cut it.

The armor was completely intact!

——The production team spent a lot of time choosing the electric drill and the electric saw, but it is undeniable that the armor is indeed very hard and not fake.

Gong Huaichang is indeed an expert on Japan and understands the exaggerated style of Japan. He wrote a few big red words next to the armor:

[Peerless Armor! ]

[The scales of the Yamata no Orochi! ]

The Japanese really liked this, and the audience couldn't help but exclaim:

"What a strong armor! What are you going to do with it on the target? Are you going to test your arrows?"

As they expected, Su Zhe changed a bow and arrow, and the subtitles marked the poundage -

[Ancient stone divine bow! ]

【120 pounds! 】

Sakurayuki didn't know the poundage of the bow, but when she saw the exaggerated subtitles, she knew it was an exaggerated number.

And on TV, Su Zhe was also very serious and did not dare to be careless. He took off his outer coat and removed the cumbersome long-sleeved ancient costume, revealing a tight vest.

He was moving his body gently and doing warm-up exercises, but Sakurayuki stared at him with wide eyes.

The girlfriends could no longer hold back and howled:

“So sexy!”

"He has beautiful muscles."

"Stop pulling the bow, pull me!"

After Su Zhe warmed up, out of caution, he did not ride a horse. He just stood there, bent the bow and drew the arrow, and pulled the bow to the full moon with smooth movements.

With full strength, his beautiful triceps stood tall, and his exposed arms were like marble sculptures, full of the beauty of power.

At this moment, the whole of Japan was filled with the sound of inhaling, as if trying to absorb the hormones he exuded into their lungs.

Just as they were enjoying this moment, Su Zhe immediately loosened the string, and a swish sound was heard in the air.

Archery is different from shooting. For shooting, you only need to pull the trigger. You can slowly find the aim and even control your breathing to improve your accuracy.

But a high-pound bow is too difficult to pull, especially an ancient bow, where archery relies on feeling and one cannot aim slowly.

So Su Zhe shot very quickly, quickly bending the bow three times and shooting three heavy arrows.

The audience only saw him doing three swishes, just like he was doing chest expansion exercises or bending his arms with a strength bar, with ease and without seemingly aiming.

However, the arrow was moving so fast that it disappeared without leaving any shadow in the camera.

"Did you hit it?"

"Can you shoot through it?"

The audience couldn't help but ask.

Soon, the camera told them the answer——

Three sharp arrows all pierced through two layers of armor. Even when the program crew tried to pull them out for display, it took two people and a lot of effort to finally pull them out, allowing everyone to see the horrific holes in the armor.

Sakura Snow was stunned and couldn't help thinking:

"If it was in ancient times, Su Zhe would definitely be a god-like general like Lu Bu, right?"

As expected, Lu Bu is more famous...

She quickly went online and found that she no longer needed to refute those netizens who said they still needed to practice:

[Anything else to say? Su Zhe's strength is just that strong! ]

This time, the skeptics can only rant:

[These are all special effects! Targets set up in advance! They are fake!]

Or: [Why are you speaking for the Chinese? Traitors! You all deserve to be punished by God!]

Gong Huaichang really understands the Japanese people. He predicted in advance and used an ultra-high-speed camera in the program.

Under the ultra-high-speed camera, the audience finally saw clearly that the arrow left Su Zhe's hand, drew a slightly curved parabola, and penetrated the hard armor fiercely.

The process of the sharp arrow piercing the armor was even replayed repeatedly, allowing the audience to understand the lethality of this arrow.

Apart from Kuroko's mouth being able to block it, on the battlefield, it's like an invitation to the god of death!

Next, after Su Zhe found the feeling, he mounted his horse, and the program team put two layers of armor on the moving target.

——The original design was to put two layers of armor on the pigs, but due to concerns about animal protection organizations, they did not dare to adopt it. They could only lay tracks and make mobile targets.

Horseback shooting, or moving target!

After Su Zhe demonstrated his accuracy and lethality respectively, he once again demonstrated the combination of the two.

Swish!

Swish!

Swish!

The first episode of "National Glory" ended with Su Zhe's show of skills.

But the sensation it caused in Japan has just begun!

This time, the Twitter trend list finally stopped ignoring "National Glory"——

#The reincarnation of the devil Lu Bu——Su Zhe! #

[I strongly recommend watching "National Glory", the beginning is very funny, Su Zhe's horseback archery is amazing. ]

[Is this the ancient god? It's really terrifying! ]

[I didn't expect that modern people could develop such terrifying riding and archery skills. He was born in the wrong era. If he were in ancient times, he would definitely become a famous general.]

[I heard that he also played Lu Bu in a TV series. ]

[He is the reincarnation of the devil, Lu Bu II! ]

[(International student) Is there something wrong with you Japanese people? How many times have I told you? He is playing Huo Qubing! Not Lu Bu! Lu Bu is not worthy!]

No matter how the international students refuted the rumors, Su Zhe's name "Lu Bu" became famous in Japan.

There was even a Japanese program that invited Su Zhe and asked him to wear Lu Bu's classic skin in the game.

Su Zhe:......

Never mind, he is not Ziqiao.

However, his horse riding and archery skills did not cause much response in the country.

Although Gong Huaichang used more tricks, the program effect was better than the original "Rural Life".

But everyone knows it, so it's not a surprise.

Now the domestic audience wants to urge the translation teams to:

[Please check it out and report it again! I just like to see the ignorant look of Japanese netizens. 】

[Hurry up and make a Japanese reaction to "National Honor"! I want to see it! ]
