ice emperor

#fa.

la, do, la, mi, do, re.

Si!

The keys are struck and the music is played.

Press the treble re and the bass si at the same time, and An Yi's short program begins.

In the cold and sad melody, he stood on the ice in a simple black costume.

The body is very straight and the shoulders are relaxed.With a smile on his face, he looked directly at the north stand, and his eyes, which were close-up by the live camera lens, were full of sadness.

hiss--

He inhales.

Pedal on the ice as the first note of the next measure flies.

Keeping his upper limbs still, he walked forward a few meters with a blank expression, and stopped in front of the referee's seat.She pursed her lips, lowered her head, and when she slid away, left behind a touch of nostalgia that made the viewers heartbroken and throbbing.

Tears were faintly shining in those blue eyes, and the words came to the lips but could not be uttered. They were blocked by inexplicable sourness, and even their breathing became a little short.

The music continued, and there were [-] spectators at the scene. I don't know how many spectators in the world who followed the men's singles competition watched him flying on the ice.

Witnessed how he manipulated and affected human emotions in just ten seconds, and dragged them into the world he created before everyone could react.

Watching him step on the ice, turn around, close eyes, open eyes, hold his body with his right hand in front and left hand behind, support his body with the front inner edge of his right foot, and slide from the north end of the ice rink to the ice rink with continuous twisting steps. west side.The blade of the knife under the feet brought shining ice particles all the way, like the ripples splashed by falling into the lake of dead stillness.

15 seconds, 30 seconds.

He spun to escape, he stopped struggling suddenly, with a scale that fluctuated two to three degrees up and down, even occasionally as high as three to six degrees, he turned his head and refused.

Is it love?

Right or wrong, good or bad, who knows.

I am really scared.

Afraid of being surrounded by your love, afraid that after changing all this, I will no longer be who I am now.

The gloomy sound of the piano continued, An Yi's legs were spread wide, and the insides of his feet were in a straight line outwards. He slid on the inner edge of one step and slid on the outer edge of one step. He looked at the west stand without looking at it.

next second.

There was an explosion!

He regained consciousness, he was stunned, he raised his feet and used the blade teeth of both feet to run on the ice rink.

The two arms are placed in front of the chest, and the forearm is half-opened to reveal a kind of prayer. When the blade of the left foot touches the ice, the right leg floats around and turns around, completing it with a classic ballet movement 'Atidius' The change of direction, the movements of the limbs are extremely stretched and eye-catching, and the background music cooperates with each other, bringing the artistic appeal of the show to a new height.

One breath, two breaths.

Put down the right leg of the floating foot, step on the ice and slide backwards, keep the left foot in line with the right foot, neither in front nor behind, drop down and step on the ice, repeat twice with the right foot and the left foot, and connect a group very naturally. step' open sequence step.

Just look at him hooking his hands, swinging his arms, coordinating with the skates under his feet, looping the outer edge of his left foot, turning the rear outer edge of his left foot to the front outer edge, and swinging his right leg to jump forward without any preparation.

Halfway through the short program, the first minute and 25 seconds flew up to high altitude and rotated the body.Three and a half weeks later, when the falling ice landed, he stepped on a strong sound accurately, with a trace of determination on his face, and pushed outward forcefully with one hand.

The sound of the piano, the sound of the waves, after a perfect Axel triple axel, he jumped forward again, using his left foot to land on the ice to support his body to connect to the first set of rotations.Keep the body in a 't' shape and turn counterclockwise for eight circles, stand upright with bent legs, and lift the feet halfway for six circles each, then slide with your back along the inertia of the rotation.

Notes, the sound of the wind.

He raised his head and opened his arms, allowing the cold wind that entangled him to tear him at all times, his body shook slightly as if he had lost strength, left rear outer, right rear outer, left rear outer, right rear outer, fluttering , giving up struggling, gliding to the middle of the ice rink with a set of back-cross rock steps that fit the atmosphere of the music.

then.

chap!

Just watch the rear outer edge of his left foot suddenly turn into the front outer edge, and slide from inside to outside for half a second. The center of gravity of the floating right foot wipes the ice and the center of gravity drops.

One lap, two laps, three laps, four laps, falling and sliding out, taking advantage of the very short gap in the melody, flying up and down, sliding out a large counterclockwise arc on the outer edge of the right foot, turning three times, and leaning forward , raised his left leg on the floating foot, hooked the back of the ice skate with both hands, followed a series of inexplicable but indescribable but indescribable knife-lifting steps and gliding.

wow.

wow.

This is the waves, where is the applause?

His performance was almost over now, why didn't the audience react?

Ah, he saw it, so the audience was crying?

Yes.

It is right that such a program does not have applause. This kind of hopeless catharsis, this kind of sadness that seems to be inescapable forever, is so heavy and painful.If it is accompanied by applause, it will be the greatest irony.

brush.

"My God, when did this kid's artistic expression—"

Beside the protective wall of the ice rink, James Joyce lost his voice in the middle of his dumbfounded speech. He watched An Yi slide past him in a swallow-like step, and subconsciously looked at the referee's seat on the left and the audience around him.

Then, he finally felt a little more balanced, and he was relieved to find that it wasn't him who made a fuss.

It was his young disciple's amazing expressiveness that permeated the audience, affecting everyone from the very beginning of the short program, so that the entire arena was surprisingly quiet.

Just look at the audience in those auditoriums.

The men’s eyes were red with tears, the women’s eyes were teary, and the severe ones were crying bitterly. They covered their mouths with their hands desperately to prevent themselves from making a sound.

There are still nine scoring judges!

Those gray-haired old gentlemen and ladies who have always liked to criticize have the same reaction as ordinary audiences.

Omg!Omg!

All this is simply!It's just crazy!

"...Louis, you like this, how can people look away. How can you make me..."

In the frontcourt and backcourt, when Joyce marveled at An Yi's appeal, Johnny, who had already finished the game but did not return to the Olympic Village, also sighed.

Apart from him, the athletes in the backcourt preparation area had already stopped their respective business and were seriously admiring An Yi's game.

Witness with your own eyes how he captured everyone's hearts from the very beginning of the show, announcing his hegemony as a world champion to the world with astonishing technology and art.

"bigmysecret" from the movie "thepiano" is very nice.

The smooth and natural sequence of steps integrated into the music is magnificent, and the Axel triple axel jump that is so complete that there is no trace of fault, and the quadruple jump with the back inner knot are even more enviable to them.

For a set of seven technical movements required by the short program, he has already done two sets of jumps, one set of continuous steps, one set of rotations, and the second set of rotations is about to be completed.With only one combined jump and one spin left, will he make a mistake?Can he complete this program that makes them feel hopeless without a trace of regret?

1 minute, 2 minutes, 15 minutes and [-] seconds.

Ding ding dong, under the attention of hundreds of millions of people, An Yi on the ice slid, performed, told his own story, and smiled after completing the second set of spins 'after crouching spins'.

The melody is melodious, and he still runs on the ice rink with the footwork that runs through the entire program, releasing his emotions.

The blade teeth of the right foot support the body, the upper body stretches upwards and the center of gravity moves backwards, completely open to embrace and accept the real self, the left leg is lifted up and the right leg forms a 180-degree angle, and when it is lowered, it is stepped on the apex of the person's heart, allowing the viewer to feel At this moment, he felt the extreme arrogance of madness.

On the surface, he was laughing.

In fact, his heart is dead. Where is his future? Is the present life what he wants?

And love, how should he choose.Continue to escape or choose to accept?He used to be covered in bruises and pain to the extreme, this time, will he meet the right person?

Kick off and change feet.

The front inner edge of the left foot slides forward clockwise, and the rear outer edge of the right foot slides counterclockwise, sliding out two arcs in opposite directions. An Yi follows the main theme of the background music by stepping on the footwork called "chokerta" , the left foot floats on the right front of the right foot, the outer edge falls on the ice to support sliding, the right foot lifts and falls, the outer edge wipes the ice and the center of gravity of the body is pressed down, the blades of both feet exert force at the same time to complete the take-off, and twist the waist to lift off.

The music stopped, and he was stranded in mid-air.

Put the left hand on the lower abdomen, put the right hand behind the back and rotate, and gradually move the hands up during the rotation, until they reach the top of the head when the rotation reaches the fourth cycle, and hold hands together, drop the ice, open the swing arm and take off for the second time, repeat again Through the whole process, using height, speed, and visual deception in a way that is more difficult than simply raising the arms, he completed a group of extremely amazing joint jumps, a quadruple jump in the rear outer knot ring, and a triple axel jump in the rear outer knot ring.

So far, the short program has come to 30 minutes and [-] seconds, and he also began to perform the last technical action, joint rotation.

Starting from the right foot, in line with the music, leaning back, changing feet, hooking the blade, half-lifting the knife, pulling over the waist, lifting over the shoulders, higher than the top of the head, and finally freeze in the beautiful and suffocating, the legs are almost at the same position The one-handed knife Bellman on the same line rotated up.

The aura around him reveals a kind of stubborn persistence, an unresigned struggle, riding on the melody that repeats, fades, and finally disappears, and proudly raises his head and spins.

Three laps, six laps, eighth laps—

stop!

"..."

first second.

"..."

The second second, the third second, the fourth second.

at last.

In the fifth second!

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Scream down!

After finishing the performance, An Yi stood on the ice rink with her arms crossed, keeping her movements as she had done at the beginning.

The audience in the stands on all sides seemed to be crazy. They kept throwing flowers, the mascot dolls of the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics, and bags of candies into the ice rink, expressing their emotions that could not be expressed in words.

How miserable they were in the two minutes and 50 seconds just now, and how happy they were after the boys on ice game finished.These two extreme emotions agitated in their hearts, so that they didn't know what to say other than screaming.

The time was so long and so short, they wished it would never end.

"LOUIS!!! O GOD! I LOVE YOU FOR OUR LIFE!!!"

"an——————!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

"Wow, listen to this amazing scream, after watching the game just now, I don't know what to say. Louis Watts from China, finished his short program. But damn it! Why Not a Canadian Lewis Watts?!"

In the cbcsports Winter Olympics live broadcast room, Joe Baker sighed in a complicated mood. His voice was dry and his tone was somewhat emotional, and he began to comment on the program for the audience watching the live broadcast of the game in front of the TV.

"Tracey, do you think... well, well, you can cry for a while, and then cooperate with me to host the show after your emotions stabilize."

"But God, Louis's performance just now was beyond imagination. For a while, I don't even know where to start. The short program he performed just now, whether it is in terms of program composition or artistic expression, is very similar to him. The performance during the Grand Prix is ​​simply two worlds!"

"Oh, yes! I totally agree with Joe's point of view. Louis's performance just now can definitely... woo, sorry! It will definitely go down in the history of figure skating. I don't know what you guys in front of the TV will do after watching this program Feeling. I personally think that with this set of programs alone, Louis is enough to be remembered by people who love figure skating all over the world!"

When the comments began, An Yi on the field continued his process of thanking the audience for their support.

From the expression, he seems to be very calm, but if you go deep into his heart, you will find that under the influence of the program just now, his mood fluctuates greatly.

"bigmysecret", my big secret, the secret of the movie heroine Ada, the big secret that he himself will never tell others in his life.

Even friends, relatives, he can't say it.No one knows what the outcome will turn out to be.

"Thank you."

"Thank you."

"thank you all."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"an!!"

At the end of the game, he bowed and bowed facing the stands on all sides, thanking the audience for their support. An Yi calmed down and sighed. His eyes swept across the busy ice boys on the ice rink and showed a bright smile. After the deafening sound, Bo slid to the entrance and exit of the ice rink, and hugged Joyce and An Zexian who greeted him on his triumphant return.

That is, why is the head coach looking at him with that look?And why is my father so sullen?

If the performance just now was not good, hahaha, there is nothing he can do.

"...Louis, you really freaked me out this time, even more than the first time you did the quad hook."

First of all, he hugged the little disciple to send his blessings, and then handed over the ice skate cover. After An Yi walked out of the ice rink, James Joyce shook his head with a wry smile and sighed.

"Do you know what you did just now? How could that kind of expressiveness appear at your age? Look at it, your short program art score will definitely be scary. Fortunately, I was not born in the same era as you Otherwise, I'm pretty sure I won't get any gold medals."

"Wow, did you hear that? Joyce's conclusion sounds exaggerated, but we must admit that if Louis's program can maintain the same level as before, unfortunately, what we once said is very likely to happen. .Tracey, why are you laughing when you hear this news? You are acting more like a Louis supporter than I am now, okay, okay, I understand, Louis captured you with the show just now."

In the live broadcast, An Yi walked out of the ice rink and followed Joyce and An Zexian into the waiting area. In the Canadian cbcsports live broadcast room, Joe Baker made a few jokes with his partner, and the Olympic emblem flashed on the video signal However, when he started to play back the exciting video of An Yi's previous program, he quickly entered the state of mind and began to explain the program to the audience watching the live broadcast.

"Slow motion playback, this is the opening of Louis's short program. Look at his expressive expression, I really can't use a precise word to evaluate, I can only tell you a fact, my emotional female partner, it is from this expression close-up At first, I lost control of my emotions."

The replay of the short program started, and An Yi's extremely contradictory expression appeared again. Thanks to the slowed down playback speed several times, all his emotional details were clearly revealed.

In the picture, the smile on the corner of his mouth is very shallow, and his blue eyes are as moist as tears.

When stepping on the ice and gliding in front of the referee, the pain revealed by the drooping eyes and turning around was like a dagger piercing into the hearts of all those who saw this scene.

In the second slow-motion playback, he leaped onto the screen step by step with an 's'-shaped arc that he did not deliberately highlight, once again allowing the audience inside and outside the arena to enjoy a visual feast.

That kind of clear, standard and intoxicating blade connection is already rare, and what is even more unimaginable is the integrity of every detail when he is skating in the screen!It's almost reached the point where people can't ask for more from him.

In the third replay, Axel triples.The fourth set of slow-motion replays, jumping around the back inner knot ring, and the connection of footwork are natural things, and there is no need to mention it.

In the fifth group of shots, the arms are around the body. During the jump, the hands are held from the bottom up, and finally come to the top of the head.

When I saw it during the game, due to the rush of time, at most I felt very pleasing to the eye and beautiful.Looking back in slow motion, especially after people understand the requirements of this seemingly 'not too difficult' detail processing, let alone ordinary audiences, even professional athletes are left with admiration.

"Look here!"

"Louis's full-hearted expression doesn't need me to point it out again, lookat that! God testifies that I have sworn that I will try not to be surprised when I comment on Louis's games in the future. But! Once again! Yes! I can only say again Once, because I have forgotten how many times! I was shocked by the extreme details in Louis' program!"

Speaking of this, Joe Baker was obviously excited, and once again entered the fanboy state. From the comment on An Yi's entire joint jump to the ice slide, the admiration and love in the words have overflowed, but no matter who heard it, no one could question it. .

It's really because An Yi's more difficult and more beautiful jumping innovation deserves these praises!Especially when the slow motion playback, the most direct evidence, is in front of you, no one can choose to turn a blind eye.

'The player from China, Louis Watts (yian), scored after the short program. '

3 minutes, which is ten seconds longer than the short program competition.Sitting in the equal seats, between Joyce and An Zexian, An Yi finally got his first short program result in the Winter Olympics in his career.

'Technical score: 5——'

"Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

‘5．85．85．85．85．85．95．85．8。’

'Art score: 5——'

"Wow!!!!"

‘6．０5．96．０5．95．95．96．０。’

'The ranking of referees: Japan 1, Russia 1, Czech Republic 1, South Korea 1, Finland 1, Canada 1, US 1, UK 1, Switzerland 1. '

'place: 1'

At the end of the scoring, the results were settled, the high scores that were taken for granted, and the unexpected four 6 art scores.

Just like before, An Zexian still can't figure out why he is also a Chinese citizen, and there is such a big difference between his son and other athletes of the national team.Maybe it's because he's better looking?Cut, how is it possible.Who can go to the ice to participate in competitions, especially this kind of international competitions, who is ugly.

"Look, like I said just now, Louis, your art score is really scary."

"However, I think this is good news, isn't it? With such a result as a guarantee, your short program ranking is almost unshakable. Moreover, there may be some unexpected effects."

After reading the scores, Joyce stood up from the waiting table, patted his disciples on the shoulder in relief, and moved his gaze to the ice rink.

There, the fifth player to participate in the short program competition, Canadian athlete Libenin Carter, was preparing for the game with a serious face and a serious expression. Except for himself...no, maybe even himself Can't be sure either.

As for the reason?There is only one, An Yi's short program achievements.

If we talk about the technical score of 5, it still left them with a glimmer of hope.Then the artistic score of 85 dealt a devastating blow to them, the athletes who played after him!
