ice emperor

"CCTV, CCTV."

"It's 2:15 am on February 19th, Beijing time. You are welcome to continue watching the No.[-] Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City, the final of the men's figure skating event. I am the commentator Hu Yue."

From the United States to China, spanning more than 1 kilometers, with a time difference of 15 hours, there are tens of millions of viewers in China who are paying attention to the Winter Olympics. After waiting for several hours, they finally saw cctv5 again. silhouette of the athlete.

What to say.

Looking at him on the TV screen, thousands of people invariably thought of the disappointments they have experienced since the Winter Olympics on February [-]th.

Speed ​​skating, freestyle skiing, snowboarding, ski jumping, etc., except failure is failure. These athletes who represent China's face, let alone win medals and win glory for the country, many of them can't even enter the finals .

Only now on the screen, the boy who is talking to the foreign coach is an exception.Not only did he rank first in the short program competition the day before yesterday, he also made countless people realize the charm of figure skating with his wonderful performance.

Looking back at the scene when I watched his short program competition, even though most of them did not understand technical movements, it did not affect their appreciation of the 'feeling'.It is really because that kind of beauty, that kind of expression, has surpassed the boundaries of gender and technology, and has penetrated into people's hearts.

"Husband, come on! You are so handsome today!! I want to give birth to you!!!"

"What are you yelling about? Who are you going to give birth to?! Yang Lei, let me warn you, if you dare to follow your third uncle's mess with men, be careful that I will interrupt you—"

'Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah! ! ! ! '

'Louis! ! '

'an! '

In the living room of a three-bedroom and two-living room in Baoji, Shaanxi, the male owner of five big and three rough heard his son's bold words, his expression changed suddenly, and he was about to teach him a lesson, when suddenly there was a "noisy, noisy" sound, which made him I couldn't help frowning and screaming, and came out from the speakers on both sides of the TV placed against the wall.

Looking up, he saw the blue-eyed boy in the picture smiling faintly at the camera.Seeing that he clicked his tongue quite agitatedly, he temporarily suppressed the idea of ​​cleaning up his son.

Men, boys, An Zexian, An Yi, did not expect him to meet his former brother and his brother's son under such circumstances.

Because of the nature of their work, they haven't seen each other for many years, maybe he should find a chance to visit Beijing?

"...Louis, you know all the technical details. I have nothing more to remind you. Except for one thing, think about my previous advice, and decide what to do. Now go boys and conquer this arena! "

Off-screen, on-screen, domestic to on-site, during the 3-second preparation time, James Joyce did not say anything else, but encouraged the little disciple, hugged him vigorously, and gave the rest of the time to An Zexian.

Staring fixedly at the son in front of him for a few seconds, An Zexian suppressed his soft heart, stretched out his right hand and patted each other with him to send blessings.Lift your right foot and take a big step back, while lifting your chin to signal you kid to hurry up.

Looking at An Yi again, with that smile still on his face, the two people standing on the ice rink nodded towards the two people outside the protective wall, turned around, stepped on the ice, inhaled and raised their heads, opened their arms, and hugged the [-] spectators present. Applause.

A head of black hair was pulled up from the forehead, scattered on the back of the head and fluttering on the shoulders with the wind. He was wearing a two-piece pure white cloth dress, and a dark blue gauze cloak was on the upper body. The waist and hem are about 15 centimeters long, and the modified but still retains a little room for the ancient-style folded top. As he slides on the ice, the wind bulges, exposing his neck and collarbone, making him look like he is standing in the wind.

When he came to the middle of the ice rink and stopped, there was not much time left for 3 seconds of preparation. He first tidyed up the performance clothes that had fallen back on his body, and then stood up straight and restrained the smile on his face.

The background music obviously hasn't started yet, but the blue eyes are flickering, and he has already fallen into the world he created.

Chinese style?

No, not just Chinoiserie.

It is parting.

"God testifies, this kind of melancholy and sadness, the free skating has not yet started, Louis has already used his emotions to drive the audience. The free skating music "immortal" is immortal, immortal, and eternal. Four minutes and 40 seconds, let us enjoy together Lewis' performance."

In the cbcsports live broadcast room, Joe Baker seized the last bit of time and quickly finished the information about the free skating. He took a breath and held his breath, not planning to interrupt and comment on Louis Jr.'s competition.

Although this approach is different from his usual approach, he has no intention of changing it.Although he is a senior sports host, he is also an ordinary audience who simply loves figure skating.When encountering a performance by a good athlete, I naturally want to calm down and appreciate it carefully.

uh uh uh-

After the preparation time was over, An Yi took a skating posture.

After three breaths, the mournful erhu sounded.

The strings were pulled, and an extremely sad long note flew out. An Yi, who was standing straight on the ice, pursed his lips, raised his hands, palms up, eyes close, his fingers trembled slightly, and the muscles at the corners of his mouth twitched twice, revealing a There are thousands of words in my mouth, but I don't know where to start to pour out my smile.

The slow, continuous sound of the piano floated, he clenched his palms and raised his head, kicked forward, skating in the same direction, and turned his upper body to the right.

Floating on the left foot, the ice blade on the right foot supported the body and came to the front of the referee's seat in the north. With a swipe, the blade changed direction, and the corners of the eyes were left with sadness when turning the neck. After several revisions, the opening continuation step was finally determined.

Turn Three, Choctaw, Rock Step, Mohawk?No, no, no, he will not deliberately emphasize these things, but will only integrate forward and reverse footwork, changing directions and changing blades, and icing ice with the teeth into the 's'-shaped continuous steps as naturally as possible.

God knows how much effort he had put in to make this program well.In the competition, when performing technical moves, if he still simply shows how difficult this program is, it will undoubtedly represent a failure for him.

Brush, brush.

Amidst the crisp sound of the skates gliding across the ice under his feet, An Yi started his performance with the slow and long sound of the erhu touching people's hearts.

The melodious sound of the piano, the ups and downs of the tone, every time he turns around and kicks the ice, his fingers seem to touch the invisible emotion. Coupled with the expression of immersion and dedication on his face, a kind of reluctance and nostalgia quickly permeates the audience with the music.

After the show started, he was skating for 30 seconds, and he went from the east side of the ice rink to the west side in 40 seconds. In 1 minute, he heard a sound of "cha". He turned around and changed blades the next second after the step sequence ended. The rear outer edge of his left foot landed in front of the ice, his right foot floated behind him, his legs were crossed, and the outer edge of his right rear landed on the ice. , lower the center of gravity of the body, twist the waist and exert force to take off with the blade.

Zhunzhun caught the pause of the main melody, flew into the air, spun around and landed for half a second, took off and spun three times in the same body posture, and successfully completed a three-week double jump of the rear outer knot ring and the rear outer knot ring.

but!

The strange thing is that such a perfect 4+3 jump did not earn applause. Looking closely at the audience, especially the southeast stand, the group of people closest to An Yi seemed to be stunned on the spot by him.

At this moment, after seeing the details of the joint jump, they obviously wanted to applaud and applaud An Yi who skated through the south stand.But, for some reason, they just couldn't do it!The mind is clearly awake, but the soul can't get out of the infinite beauty that blooms in that moment, as if it is deeply trapped in a dream.

The free skating continued, taking off and landing on the ice, and after the three-week jump around the rear outer knot, An Yi had no time to pay attention to the audience's reaction. He jumped to the first set of squatting spins, continued the bleak and sad, and promoted the emotional progress.

Think back to the time when I finally decided on the background music that I am skating now.

The parting of the first part, the questioning of the immortals in the second part, the high-spiritedness of the third and fourth parts, the difference between immortals and mortals is as quiet and cold as yesterday.Modifying and modifying, when the show is actually shown now, the program arrangement and background content have already changed.

The introverted and reserved oriental, the extraordinary and elegant, and the sorrow of parting forever, complement each other and become one.

How suitable for him is not it?No one understands that emotion that can never go back better than him.The distance between the two worlds, the gap of nature that can never be crossed, immortals and humans, two different earths.

Clenching his fists and rolling up his sleeves, he slid across the northwest corner following the sound of the sisiqin. When An Zexian and James Joyce were in front of him, An Yi raised his hand to hide the bitterness in his mouth.

He raised his head and closed his eyes, a snowflake was raised on the ice blade under his feet, his left foot supported his body and his right foot floated, the left front outer edge turned the rear outer edge and then the front outer edge, and he swung his right leg and jumped forward.

Rotate counterclockwise for three and a half times in the direction of skating, fall and slide out and quickly connect to a rear outer knot circle, the inner edge of the left foot lands on the ice, there is no edge change, no center of gravity offset change, the tooth of the right foot clicks The ice surface took off for the third time and rotated three times.With both hands held high, he completed Axel's three weeks of connecting the outer ring and then the inner point of ice for three weeks. This series of amazingly difficult continuous jumps.

Then came the third set of jumps, triple axel jumps in the rear inner knot, the fourth set of jumps in the second half of the Axel triple axel single jump, and the fifth set of jumps followed by an inner ice triple axel jump.

then!

At the third minute and 15 seconds, the constant pulling and pulling, the sobbing and tense emotions suddenly broke.Accompanied by the whistling of 'Gang'er', he fell from the height, brushed and clapped, and the fine sound of raindrops hitting the leaves came out. An Yi slipped backwards on the rear outer edge of his left foot, tilted his body's center of gravity to the right, and opened his right leg Falling down, the knife teeth clicked on a revived vibrato.

The left hand was placed on the abdomen in front of the body, the right hand was placed on the spine behind the body, and he flew into the air, his gaze swept across the stands on all sides, and he slowly closed his eyes without sadness or joy.Once again, using the jumping height, time in the air, distance in the air, and visual deception that are far superior to other male athletes, gradually move the arms up while rotating the body until they reach the top of the head and clenched tightly in the fourth week.

but!

This action is not finished here.

When he turned his body around enough, fell open and prepared to land on the ice with the rear outer edge of his right foot, his arms first loosened and stretched back and forth, his body leaning in the air relaxed, tears flashed at the corners of his eyes, he inhaled and raised his head to express his sorrow.

When sliding out of the falling ice, lower your head and sigh lightly, accept the reality, take off for the second time with the knife teeth on the left foot, hold your fist and hold your heart, rotate three times, bend over, stretch your arms, open, fall, slide out, and keep your lower body He didn't move, but his neck turned to the other side again, his blue eyes stared blankly at the place at the beginning, his aura was cold and lonely, and his expression was indifferent.

Program sequence steps.

Slide out the outer edge of the right foot for three seconds, draw a '3' in a large arc and suddenly change direction, lower the upper body to lower the left leg to open the floating foot, and slide in a swallow-style step.

The clothes with a simple color scheme showing a dusty air are fluttering, and the long black hair dances with him as he soars in the wind.

This situation and the scene are obviously beautiful, holy and unrestrained, but an indescribable emotion is stuck in the heart, making people want to tell but can't begin.

After the seventh group of jumps, the outer knot rings for three weeks, and the eighth group jumps and hooks for three weeks.

Thousands of moods are ups and downs, swaying with the sound of the piano, little by little, like teardrops and rain, splashing ripples in people's hearts.

He laughed and cried, detached and fell, and he couldn't forget the past.Endless nostalgia turned into power to help him transcend the extraordinary, and the influence pushed him to interpret the story in his heart.

brush--

Four minutes and 20 seconds, the last two sets of technical movements of the whole set of free skating, the Yan style spin and the joint spin began.

On the ice, An Yi returned to the center of the ice rink again, the starting point of everything, his body rotated eight times in a 'T' shape, changed his feet and turned his back, with his right arm and palm in the air, and for the first time made several mysterious moves with his fingers The handprints fall into the vortex of memories in the rotation.

Eight laps, six laps, three laps, he closed his eyes and closed his hands to break free.

Pushing off with the ice blade on the right foot, swinging both arms vigorously, he dropped these things that outsiders could only wish for, and turned to the final vent.

The him in the story, the him in reality, was able to come to this world, to be able to go this far, it is luck and misfortune.

In his past and present lives, if he didn't say many things, it doesn't mean he has forgotten. He just... no matter how much he said clearly, it was useless to keep thinking about it.

Just like the part he is skating now, the detached person can't let go of the past story.

All kinds of things in the past, looking back today, are like dreams and illusions, leaving nothing but nothingness.

brush!brush!brush!

The ice skate on the left foot supports the body, and the fingers of the right hand hook the back of the ice skate on the right foot, and pulls the leg over the head from low to high. An Yi uses his amazing body flexibility to stay on his signature move of one-handed hook knife on the Bellman spin .

At the same time, the melody that cut the strings stopped and only the sound of the wind was left. An Yi let go and turned into an upright rotation. At 35 minutes and [-] seconds, he stopped ringing his arms, closed his eyes and bowed his head.

At last.

He suddenly raised his head and opened his eyes when the wind whizzed past and blew across the entire ice rink.

A touch of blue that was not willing to recall jumped into people's hearts, making the hearts of all those who saw this scene tense, and they were quickly wrapped in an emotion called melancholy. , Tears fell without warning.

"..."

The music ended completely, the free skating performance stopped, and An Yi stood in the middle of the ice rink.

"..."

For three full seconds, there were more than 5000 spectators in the stadium, and no one made a sound. Everyone was fascinated by the close-up of the boy's expression on the big screen, until An Yi blinked and took a deep breath.

next moment!

He moved, and so did the spectators. People watching the free skating competition all over the world, both inside and outside the arena, moved.

The screams and shouts that were almost shifted broke out at the same moment, and the athletes who watched the game through the real-time screen in the shocking backcourt lost their voices.Jaw-struck, watching with envy, the excited audience stood up and applauded one after another, giving him an amazing 'feedback' on the ice rink.

"an!!!!!!"

"Louis——————!"

"An Yi! An Yi!! An Yi!!!"

"Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!"

Flowers and sweets fell like rain, and An Yi stood in the middle of the arena and smiled.

He thought that no matter how much the audience understood the show, at least the emotions he deliberately expressed had been passed into the hearts of all of them.

I believe the referees are the same, even if they don't fully understand the connotation of the whole program, the emotions of 'sadness, nostalgia, and reluctance' can at least guarantee that the artistic score of his program will not be too low.

"...An Yi, An Yi finished her free skating competition, and for a moment I didn't know how to comment on the program just now."

In the on-site commentary area, Hu Yue, who was in charge of commentating the only live match on cctv5, sighed while watching the boy who was thanking the audience for their support in the real-time screen.

"Although the theme of An Yi's free skating is about immortals and gods in legends, I feel that he did not blindly express that kind of beauty or detachment, but instead focused on 'regret'. After finishing his game, I feel very good and beautiful, and I will also leave a very deep impression because of that regret."

"In the competition just now, at the beginning of the show, I kept clenching my fists, praying that he would stabilize and not make mistakes! When he performed the first joint jump, my brain was left blank. I can't describe it specifically. That kind of feeling, I believe that the audience in front of the TV will feel the same when they see it, that kind of beauty is really..."

"Joe, are you all right? You—"

"Oh?! Me? Of course I'm fine. I just, I just didn't expect that Louis would give us such a free skating program."

After bowing and thanking the audience for their support, An Yi skated to the entrance and exit of the ice rink, and was hugged by Joyce and An Zexian to congratulate. In the cbcsports live broadcast room, his partner hosted the men's singles free skating The Match's Joe Baker and Trish Milos also made their voices.

"After watching Luis's show just now, I can only say that he once again surprised the audience who supported him. In addition to the eight high-quality jumps, he also gave everyone a restrained oriental performance. Even after watching his free skating, I couldn’t get out of that emotion quickly.”

As An Yi's number one fanboy supporter, Joe Baker still made no secret of his identity and inclinations. In the live broadcast, James Joyce turned to the athlete channel, and An Yi and An Zexian were seated equally. The Winter Olympics logo flashed, and the video screen switched to the slow motion of An Yi's free skating and commented.

"We can see that in the slow-motion replay, it is Louis's first set of jumps, and the rear outer knot is surrounded by three circles. But God! Please believe me in front of the TV, I am watching this movement. I lost my sanity in an instant! Yes, I am not exaggerating at all, because I was deeply shocked by the emotions revealed by Louis' jump!"

The screen appears, and slow motion begins to play.

The melancholy sound of the erhu was played, it was An Yi's first set of consecutive steps, and it was An Yi's first set of joint jumps.

He slid away from the referee's seat in the north, walked and galloped on the ice, with the blade of the skates under his feet, back and forth, freely changing his footwork, and slid out a set of amazing arcs and consecutive steps.

However, the whole set of moves is more than that.

If you look closely at his full-body shots in the slow-motion replay, you will find that his successive steps are not deliberately making footwork movements for the purpose of expressing successive steps, but the series of emotions and the transmission of emotions.

Especially every time he turns to change the blade, the emotions on his face, eyes, and mouth change and deepen. The scenes are shocking and profound. Remember, keep.

"Here it is! Look at the smile on his face, the look in his eyes."

"Ohmygod! There is nothing but amazement. I'm not sure if anyone will be able to do such a high-level triple axel around the rear outer loop."

After the sequence is completed, it will naturally switch to the 4loop + 3loop joint jump, which slows down the action execution process several times, and deeply touched countless audiences who missed the details of the program.

As Joe Baker said, with such a high level of joint jump quality, it is really uncertain whether anyone will be able to achieve it in the future.The reason is simple. This group of jumps is not just jumps, but also includes the emotions expressed in the first half of the successive steps, and the delicate handling at the end of the second half of the jumps.Every link is just right, and one point more or one point less will affect the audience's feelings when they see this sequence of actions.

The second set of slow motion, the third set of slow motion, jumping, rotating, choreographing step-by-step, the sixth set of slow motion, and finally came to Anyi's other set of quadruple jumps 4lz+3t.

In the words of cbcsports host Joe Baker, no one in this world can surpass Louis in terms of the quality of the hook quadruple jump!

Look at him when he jumps, his arms rotate and move up, touching people's hearts, and when he falls and opens, he raises his head and immerses himself in the wonderful expression.

In this world, the only one who can surpass him is himself!As long as he is in a normal state, no one among the current men's figure skating players can beat him!

'Louis Watts (yian) from China, after free skating, achieved . '

Three minutes and 30 seconds, the old habit, the old time, An Yi and An Zexian who waited patiently in the waiting seats finally heard the voice of the on-site announcer broadcasting the free skating scores.
