The chief player of the film and television world

Chapter 472 Trip to France, Ma Dongmei's first grand slam match

Time to enter came May.

The Daxiang team is still riding the dust on the road of winning streak, making it difficult for all the teams in the third division.

In mid-May, Zhang Jin and Qiu Ya flew to the capital to record their first album, but when they came to what was said to be the best recording studio in the country, they discovered an important problem.

That is, the current domestic recording studios are all mainly recording vocal songs. If you want to record pure musical instruments, the recording effect cannot be said to be bad, but it is still different from the top ones.

At present, domestic commercial recording studios do not have special equipment for recording musical instruments. The only one with such professional equipment is CCTV, but if they want to borrow CCTV's recording equipment, the current relationship between the two is similar to Dengtian.

They searched around Shanghai and Yangcheng again, but there was no special equipment.So they could only go to Hong Kong Island, where there is a professional comprehensive recording studio.Before they could go to Hong Kong Island, a phone call came in suddenly.

The agent of the company called Qiuya, saying that Steinway invited her to France to participate in this year's young artist evaluation, and asked her if she planned to go.

The two discussed it and decided to go to France to participate in Steinway's young artist evaluation. Firstly, they could exchange ideas with many pianists who were also invited to participate in the evaluation, and secondly, they could go directly to foreign professional recording studios to record their first album.

After staying in the country for more than a week, Zhang Jin and Qiu Ya got their visas and boarded the plane to France.

On the last day of May, Zhang Jin and Qiu Ya checked into the Shangri-La Hotel in Paris, the capital of romance and art.

The viewing angle of this hotel is very good. Standing on the balcony, guests can see the waking Paris, the rippling Seine River, the proudly standing Eiffel Tower, and the beautiful night lights.

After staying in the hotel, Qiuya packed her luggage and put the clothes in the closet. The two of them would take half a month to a month here, so they brought a lot of clothes.

It was already evening at this time, and Zhang Jin estimated that Ma Dongmei should return to his residence, so he called the other party in the room.

Because Ma Dongmei insists on keeping everything simple, she lives in a hotel designated by the French Open competition committee. The price is not expensive, and it is close to the training venue, which can meet her daily training.

About half a minute after dialing, Zhang Jin heard a familiar voice from the microphone saying in English: "Hello, hello".

"Ma Dongmei, it's me, Zhang Jin."

"Zhang Jin, it's you, why are you calling me?" Ma Dongmei's tone relaxed a lot, "Tell me quickly if you have something to do, I just came back from the training ground, sweating and feeling uncomfortable."

Zhang Jin said: "Qiu Ya and I have come to Paris, France. When you have a game, we will go to the scene to cheer for you."

When Ma Dongmei heard this, she was pleasantly surprised and said, "Really? Are you coming to Paris? Why didn't you tell me in advance, I will go to the airport to pick you up!"

Although she is used to training abroad all the year round and seeing her family only once a year, she still cannot completely eradicate that feeling of loneliness and can only use a lot of training to distract herself.

She was competing alone in Paris, France, a strange country, but when she heard the news that her old classmates were coming to cheer for her, she couldn't help being moved.

"I don't want to tell you because I don't want to delay your training. The French Open is one of the four Grand Slam tournaments. You have to go all out. And when the next game is over, let the three of us have a meal together." Zhang Jin suggested.

"Don't wait for the game to end, just do it tomorrow." Ma Dongmei couldn't wait to meet her old classmates.

"That won't work. We still have our own affairs and arrangements. You don't think Qiuya and I are here to travel, do you?"

"Okay, let's have a meal together when we're all done." Although Ma Dongmei felt a little sorry, she still agreed.

Zhang Jin and the others didn't want to delay their training, so naturally they couldn't delay their work.

The two chatted for a while, Qiuya took the phone and continued chatting for a while before the call ended.

Qiuya put down the phone and smiled at Zhang Jin: "June [-]th, Dongmei's first match, we must go and cheer for her!"

Zhang Jin said: "Of course, not only are we going to cheer for her, but she is also going to cheer for you! When you all succeed in the future, you will be the four major stars in the cultural and sports circles of our class two of the third year."

"Hmm! Wait, four big stars? Who is the other one?" Qiu Ya was stunned for a moment.

"Temporary secrecy." Zhang Jin put it off, "I'll tell you when he feels it's appropriate."

Qiu Ya curled her lips: "Okay, if you don't say it, don't say it. I don't believe that when I ask students one by one at the class reunion, I still can't find out who that person is!"

Zhang Jin smiled and said nothing, thinking that if you really asked, maybe Dachun would really say it, but who of you would have thought that that person might be Dachun?
Stayed in the hotel for one night. Early the next morning, Zhang Jin took Qiuya to consult professional recording studios according to the collected information. What they needed to find was a recording studio that was free enough in the short term, because they wanted to concentrate on The entire album is recorded.

However, although there are many professional recording studios in Paris, the demand is not small. None of the recording studios can meet their requirements, and they can only settle for the second best and choose the three most suitable recording studios for batch recording.

After agreeing on a time, paying a deposit, and getting these things done, three days passed quickly.

On June [-]th, Zhang Jin and Qiu Ya visited the scenic spots around the hotel, and took a lot of pictures of the scenery by the Seine River and the Eiffel Tower.

On June [-], they went to the venue to cheer for Ma Dongmei as scheduled.

The French Open is held at the Roland Garros Stadium in Paris. It is usually held in May and June every year. It is the second Grand Slam event held every year.

It is also the only Grand Slam game played on a clay court, marking the highest honor in clay courts.

Compared with other Grand Slams, the clay court of the French Open has a slower ground speed. The game adopts five sets and three wins, and the deciding game is a long set.

It is common for a game to last for four hours, so players who are required to participate in the game need to have superior skills and amazing perseverance.This sentence means that either the technology crushes the opponent, or the opponent is dragged down by a protracted battle.

In terms of technology, Ma Dongmei is definitely not as good as most of the contestants, but it is hard to say in terms of perseverance.

The Roland Garros stadium is a large stadium with a total of 23 venues. The largest central court, the Philippe Chatier Stadium, can accommodate up to [-] spectators. It is also the final venue of the French Open.

Ma Dongmei's game was the first round, 64 into [-], and the competition venue was Hall D.

The two bought tickets early to enter the arena, and half of the seats on the scene were already filled with spectators, and there were still quite a few spectators at the French Open.

After sitting down in her seat, Qiuya looked around and exclaimed, "There are almost no tennis courts in China. I didn't expect this sport to be so popular not only in England, but also in France."

"Britain and France have been in love with each other for hundreds of years, and the European royal families have various blood ties. Isn't it normal that everyone likes tennis, a once aristocratic sport?" Zhang Jin joked.

The two waited while chatting, and after about ten minutes, the match officially started.

"Look, it's Ma Dongmei! Dongmei, come on! Dongmei!" Seeing Ma Dongmei's appearance, Qiu Ya excitedly waved her hands again, and shouted loudly by putting her hands around her mouth like a trumpet.

Although the scene was not particularly quiet, other foreign audiences were not as loud as she was, so Ma Dongmei in the field heard her voice at once, turned her head to follow the sound, and waved to the two with a smile on her face.

It was a great psychological encouragement for her old classmates to come to the scene to watch the battle and cheer for her!

After the referee and the contestants on both sides gave instructions and explanations, the competition officially began.

Qiu Ya took a closer look at her opponent and said in surprise, "Hey, Ma Dongmei's opponent looks like a Hollywood movie star, so she should be able to win easily with such an opponent?"

Ma Dongmei's opponent in this match is Irene from France, a 22-year-old contestant with a sweet appearance. Even with a tennis racket and sportswear, she has the feeling of a movie star making a movie, without the temperament of a professional athlete at all. .

Zhang Jin had known about the opponents in this match beforehand, and gave her some popular science with a smile: "Don't underestimate the players who can enter the Grand Slam tournament. This Elena looks sweet, but she is the WTA ranked More than 200 players."

"There are just over 200 people. Where is Dongmei, where is she ranked?" Qiuya asked.

"Ma Dongmei has just started to participate in professional competitions and is ranked outside the thousand."

"It's so far away, the difference between the two is almost [-] ranks! Did Dongmei meet such a strong opponent in the first round!"

Seeing her nervous expression for Ma Dongmei, Zhang Jin couldn't help raising his hand to pinch her face, and said with a smile, "Who thought it would be easy to win the opponent at first, but now they are worried that they won't be able to win the opponent? You change your face." It's so fast!"

"I didn't know at the beginning that the opponent was actually a player ranked over 200!" Qiu Ya slapped his hand away, "Besides, don't you worry about Dongmei at all?"

Zhang Jin shook his head: "Worried? No, I'm not worried at all. Whether she wins or loses, it's a process she must go through. More than 200 opponents are afraid, so how can we fight for the number one in the world in the future?
Don't worry, Ma Dongmei is not as weak as you imagined, otherwise she would not be able to train abroad alone for so long, she has enough independence and strength. "

Qiuya was a little emotional: "I'm a little envious of her when you say that. I used to always want to be an independent, strong and outstanding woman. But now..." She gave Zhang Jin a blank look, "I'm spoiled by you gone."

"Oh? Then you mean to let me stop spoiling you?" Zhang Jin asked.

Qiu Ya blinked playfully, and said with a smile: "No, I ask you to continue to get used to me, because I can't live without you!"

"It's shameful to be cute." Zhang Jin reached out and pinched her face again.

While the two were talking, the game on the field quickly ended the first two rounds.

Ma Dongmei was broken by Yi Lianna in the serve game, and then was directly won by the opponent in the serve game, which was a bad start.

Seeing that Ma Dongmei was lagging behind on the scoreboard, Qiu Ya quickly stopped and Zhang Jin got bored, and turned to cheering Ma Dongmei.But loud noises are not allowed in tennis matches, and she can only express her support with warm applause!

Maybe it was her support that really encouraged Ma Dongmei, maybe it was because Ma Dongmei finally found the rhythm and feeling of the game after experiencing the fiasco of the first two games.

In the next four rounds, she and her opponent won two rounds each, with a score of 4:2.

Soon, the first set entered into a long-set tiebreaker, and the score continued until 10:8 before Irina struggled to win the victory, winning one out of three out of five sets.

The first set was so intense that even the old spectators who watched the French Open all the year round couldn't help but want to shout it was wonderful!
During the short break between reels, the audience gave warm applause!

After a little rest and adjustment, Ma Dongmei and Yi Lianna started the second set.

With the experience of the previous set, Ma Dongmei became more proficient in dealing with Yi Lianna's attack and serve.

Before coming to the French Open, she made detailed preparations in the IMG Academy, which is also the pre-match homework that every professional player will do.

Clay courts are slow courts where the ball bounces high and has a lot of spin.Competing on clay is different from playing on hard courts where a strong serve or a forehand smash can be fatal. Here, players' comprehensive skills and strong physical fitness are tested.

Even if your skills are not as good as your opponents, as long as you are not crushed by your opponents, you have a chance to win the game. This is why many tennis masters have gained the limelight in other top competitions, but it is not difficult to completely conquer the clay court.

Patient stalemate, strong topspin and crazy running, these are the three pieces of advice that the coach gave Ma Dongmei before coming here, and it is also her only chance to win now.

During the wild card game, Ma Dongmei implemented these three principles very well, so she passed all the way and finally got the lottery for the main game.

And now, she is still doing this, even if she falls behind for a while, it can't shake her inner firmness.

Skills and talents are not as good as these professional players who have been discovered and trained since childhood. The only thing she can rely on is perseverance to never admit defeat, in order to catch up with the footsteps of the man she likes in her heart!

Go!Ma Dongmei!

Ma Dongmei was expressionless, with firm eyes, running back and forth on the bottom line of the clay court, her ponytail jumping off, sweat flying!

If hard work pays off, then please let me see how much sweat and suffering I have experienced in the past two years, and where I can go in this French Open!

Bang!Bang!Bang!
The racket hit the tennis ball and made a slightly dull impact, but it was a beautiful music to her ears.

And just like that, ball by ball was hit back.Then overtake opponents one by one, win each match, and rush towards the WTA world number one ranking!
Then, with all the glory and halo, he walked back to the man, and stretched out his hand generously.

"Hello, Charlotte. It's me, Ma Dongmei, a world-renowned female tennis player and the No.1 female tennis player in China!"

　I went to see "Send You A Little Red Flower" today, and I was very moved. I can't tell you how good the acting skills of the two leading actors are, but after watching the whole movie, there are laughter and tears. It is worth watching.
