The Era of Hard Work

In the scorching sun in Quannan in late May, the Huangting Basketball Stadium located in the east section of the Pedestrian Street began on Sunday morning. The TV broadcast vans of Taidong Satellite TV and Taidong Sports Station drove over and parked outside, and a large number of staff were busy installing Set up equipment.

Quannan has a professional football team and a basketball team, and it is also the only TV program that can be produced by the sports station. The sports station has a lot of experience in live broadcasting.

Just after noon, a large number of people gathered towards the Huangting Basketball Stadium from the east and west sides, and came to the small square in front of the stadium, waiting to enter.

In front of the arena, the huge banner is particularly conspicuous-congratulations to Taidong TV and the sports station Wulin Fight for Hegemony officially held!

On the side of the banner, there is also a huge poster, on which a rich and bald man in a white exercise suit shows off his Tai Chi starting posture in a very stylish manner.

In contrast, the poster of Qiao Weiguo wearing protective gear is inconspicuous.

In order to highlight Master Wu Shengqi, the organizer asked Qiao Weiguo to wear a protective gear when taking promotional photos.

Compared with the master, the impression is weak.

This can be said to be the beginning of fighting competitions organized by local TV stations. It won't take long for similar programs to spring up like mushrooms after rain.

The contestants participating in the competition, in order to publicize and create momentum, of course they must blow vigorously.

Several young people waited in a shady place, and someone ran out to buy ice soda and came back.

Hey, who do you think will win? asked the oldest person.

The person on the left looked at Master Wu's poster: Need to say? I'm sure Master Wu Shengqi. Let me tell you, this is Master Wu's exhibition match.

The person on the right said: I have a buddy who has learned Tai Chi self-defense from Master Wu. I have seen it with my own eyes. Master Wu can knock down three people with one palm!

For the worship of martial arts masters, they firmly believe that the real martial arts masters are among the people. These people feel that Tai Chi masters will kill Sanda players, and it will be a matter of minutes.

Even, many people think that this is not so much a competition as it is that the TV station is helping martial arts master Wu Shengqi to make a name for himself.

This kind of thing is not uncommon, and Taiwan often does it after careful study, and has produced many folk martial arts masters.

Therefore, most people think it is normal, and think that it is very rare to be able to witness the master's shot on the spot.

In the Huangting Basketball Stadium, the locker room of the visiting team is a bit shabby, maybe it is broken, or someone deliberately turned off the air conditioner, so the locker room is a bit stuffy.

Qiao Weiguo wore a vest and shorts with the words First Sports printed on it. Under Yuan Baoshan's guidance, he gradually began to move his body.

Lu Dong sat beside him, took a sip of the mineral water that Song Na handed over.

In the eyes of him and Yuan Baoshan, no matter Sanda or traditional martial arts, they cannot be separated from the scope of sports. A more scientific and reasonable diet, more professional training, and stronger muscles are the guarantee of a high level.

Similarly, warming up before the game is also very important.

Song Na whispered to Lu Dong, Wei Guo is a little nervous.

Lu Dong said: It's okay, I just went to the home team's locker room to take a sneak peek. That Master Wu hasn't warmed up yet, and is drinking tea with a thermos cup.

No one is optimistic about Qiao Weiguo. Even the host TV station is completely dominated by Wu Shengqi. Lu Dong talked with Li Xingjian from the sports station before. It is said that some people are already preparing copywriting for Master Wu Shengqi's special program.

This is completely treating them as a dish.

Yuan Baoshan said at this time: Weiguo, relax, you and Lu Dong usually fight as you practice against each other, and you fight as you go on the field.

Qiao Weiguo looked at Lu Dong with a smile under his bald head.

Lu Dong gave him a thumbs up: Wei Guo, you can do it!

Song Na also clenched her fist and waved at Qiao Weiguo: Weiguo, come on. In order to encourage her, she specially said: This is the first step to Shaolin Temple!

Yuan Baoshan was puzzled, what does this have to do with Shaolin Temple?

Only Lu Dong, Song Na, Li Wenyue and Du Xiaobing knew what Qiao Weiguo's ultimate goal was.

Qiao Weiguo nodded vigorously. This is only the first step towards the Shaolin Mountain Gate. Regardless of success or failure, the most important thing is to accumulate experience and learn something.

If you are willing to fight this game with others, isn't it just to learn from the master?

An employee of No. 1 Sports came in, holding mineral water in his hand, and said, The organizer is a bit too much. We went to fetch water, but they offered to deliver...

Song Na turned her head to take a look, and the staff immediately shut up, as if they were afraid of the young general manager.

The phone rang at this moment, and Song Na answered, Wen Yue, Lao Du and Uncle Qi are here, I'll bring them in.

Lu Dong nodded: Go.

Not long after the meeting, Du Xiaobing and Li Wenyue came in and saw Qiao Weiguo warming up seriously, without saying much, sat next to Lu Dong, and asked Lu Dong a few words.

Although it is an amateur-level folk fighting event, Qiao Weiguo also has a group of relatives and friends and support groups.

Lu Dong asked, Has everyone come here?

Du Xiaobing answered: Sister Yang and Xue Tian led them into the stadium.

Lu Dong looked towards the door: Where is Seventh Uncle?

Li Wenyue laughed: He insisted on going to see Wei Guo's opponent, so he ran to the next door.

Just as he was talking, Lu Jianren came in with his shoulders drooped.

Seeing his sweaty face, Song Na hurried over with a bottle of mineral water: Uncle Seven, take a sip.

Lu Jianren unscrewed the bottle cap, downed half a bottle in one breath, and said to Qiao Weiguo, Little bald head, I went to see it. This game is a piece of cake. When I was young, I fought with people for more than ten years. Can I just keep fighting? You can tell it at a glance, and you can see that it is close to ten. As for that Tai Chi master, he just blows. I watched him for a long time. With his size, if he can fight, I will cut off his head and give you a kick. .”

Lu Dong believed in Uncle Qi's judgment. Uncle Qi had fought so many bad battles in his life that he couldn't count them all.

Du Xiaobing was very cautious: It's better to be careful.

Yuan Baoshan is also a bit conservative, after all, the opponent's reputation is huge: Weiguo, don't underestimate the enemy, remember what I said, and fight the opponent as Lu Dong.

Qiao Weiguo nodded seriously, and continued to warm up with Yuan Baoshan.

In the arena, in the middle of the original basketball court, a huge boxing ring was placed.

A group of relatives and friends from Lu's Catering, No.1 Sports and some old friends sat on the east side of the stands, wearing uniform No.1 Sports cultural shirts.

This game attracted a lot of attention. The Evening News sent people over. Fang Yan told the reporter to come to the cheering crowd and sit next to Zhao Juanjuan: I don't know Qiao Weiguo very well. How long do you think he can last? ?”

Even Fang Yan didn't think Qiao Weiguo could win, but asked how long he could last.

Zhao Juanjuan didn't quite know that after marrying Qian Rui, she didn't have much contact with Qiao Weiguo: I don't know, but I heard Lao Qian said that Wu Shengqi is a well-known master in Quannan martial arts circle.

On the opposite side of the stadium, a group of people in training uniforms rumbled in at this time, there were hundreds of people, and they were very imposing.

Fang Yan was worried: There are only so many disciples and grandchildren.

Because of many reasons, not to mention ordinary people, even many leaders above believe in the master.

In the home team's lounge, the air conditioner was turned on at 26 degrees, and the temperature was quite comfortable. Wu Shengqi held a thermos cup and slowly sipped his tea, looking like a master.

How's it going outside? he asked.

The sturdy young apprentice said: Master, don't worry, everything is fine.

There are no outsiders here, all of them are Wu Shengqi's confidant disciples, some people can directly say: The organizer is the Provincial Satellite TV and Sports Station, the co-organizer is the Provincial Martial Arts Association, the referees are members of the Martial Arts Association, all of us are acquaintances, we have the right time and place Harmony.

After all, if it is going to be broadcast live on TV, the referee may not be too biased, but for some actions, the scale is tighter and looser, which is difficult for outsiders to grasp.

Another apprentice said: The provincial TV station revealed that after the competition, I hope to make a special program for you to promote traditional martial arts.

Wu Shengqiu nodded: No problem.

Putting down the thermos, he stood up and began to stretch his body, doing some simple warm-ups.

But compared to Yuan Baoshan, who has received modern systematic and scientific training, Wu Shengqi's warm-up method can only be said to be concise enough.

The sturdy young man left the locker room. After thinking about it, it was better to be on the safe side and dragged another person to the visiting team's locker room.

Just in time, the locker room of the visiting team was stuffy, so Lu Dong, Qiao Weiguo and Du Xiaobing came out to breathe.

Hey, you guys. The burly young man nodded to a few people and walked over a few steps: Say a few words.

Lu Dong took a step forward and stood in front of Qiao Weiguo. The game is about to start, so you don't want to play tricks, do you?

Li Wenyue grew up with Lu Dong, knew Lu Dong better, and followed him.

Lu Jianren heard the sound outside, came out from the door of the locker room, and the hand that fell in the locker room was holding a mop.

The sturdy young man stopped more than one meter away from Lu Dong, and warned in Quannan dialect: We all practice martial arts, and those who practice martial arts must know how to respect their predecessors.

In his opinion, this statement is clear enough.

Lu Dong and the others understood.

But Comrade Wei Guo is a sincere person, and he responded directly: I follow the rules, respect the master, and respect the seniors!

The burly young man smiled, he was very good, he nodded at Qiao Weiguo, turned around and walked away with another person.

Weiguo? Du Xiaobing looked at Qiao Weiguo, what does this mean?

Lu Dong and Li Wenyue, who knew Qiao Weiguo early on, didn't ask.

Qiao Weiguo has always said one thing: Respect masters, respect seniors, it should be. Therefore, I will do my best to play this game!

Du Xiaobing laughed, and it's the same reason. Isn't the best way to respect an opponent is to go all out?

Yuan Baoshan came over at this time and patted Qiao Weiguo on the shoulder: Yes, this is the best respect. He greeted: It's about to start, let's make the last bit of preparation.

In the stadium, several cameras set up at different angles have already started shooting, and the TV broadcast vehicle is also debugging the signal, and the game time is getting closer and closer.

A leader of the Provincial Satellite TV, several members of the leadership team of the sports station including Li Donghai, as well as the leaders of the Wushu Association and the Taijiquan Association all sat on the rostrum.

This is a new starting point for Taidong Sports Station's own program, and everyone from top to bottom attaches great importance to it.

As the first person in charge, Li Donghai even ran back and forth, for fear of problems.

Seeing that the live broadcast time was not far away, I thought of another thing, and found a leader in charge of referees from the Wushu Association.

Director Zhang, I have something to do, please tell me again. Li Donghai was worried that the other side was too weak: We must explain to the referee, that side has fallen, and Master Wu can no longer make a move.

The middle-aged man smiled: Don't worry, everything has been ordered.

Li Donghai heaved a sigh of relief. Master Wu has been famous for many years, so he should act with discretion.
