Chapter 627 Call
The archery studio Chen Jinzhi booked is near the studio. It doesn't look very professional, but there are few people and it's deserted.
It was probably a side business that the owner of the gym downstairs had an idea to develop. Of course, it was already losing money and was not far from going bankrupt.
In the era of hot weapons, coupled with the emergence of more stable crossbows, bow and arrow have become a serious and unpopular sport. Probably only the children on the prairie still insist on learning.
However, they mostly play traditional bows and arrows, which are different from the recurve bows used in archery competitions.
When Su Chengyi learned archery back then, he was open to all comers and had even practiced the most professional and most lethal compound bow.
The difference in feel and psychological changes caused by the transition from traditional bows and arrows to compound bows is probably the same as switching directly from a Mauser M98 rifle to an AK.
However, in formal archery competitions, recurve bows are generally used, which are less powerful and come with fewer auxiliary tools, which test the skills of the archers themselves.
Similarly, competitive recurve bows have the lowest entry barrier, and the starting bows in most archery studios are generally of this type.
Therefore, although this archery studio seems unpopular, the infrastructure is still lacking, and the recurve bows available have also undergone a certain degree of maintenance.
Su Chengyi weighed it and handed Chen Jinzhi an 18-pound bow, while he directly took the 30-pound bow in the corner that was obviously less popular.
In fact, 30 pounds does not sound too heavy, but the shoulder muscles and back muscles required for archery are rarely exercised by ordinary people who are not in fitness, and generally have little strength.
18 pounds is definitely not a light weight for a girl of Chen Jinzhi's weight.
Thinking of this, Su Chengyi reminded him:
"It's normal to feel that you can't pull it. Take your time, don't rush, you can easily hurt yourself."
"Okay."
Chen Jinzhi plucked the bow string and nodded with a smile.
"Hey! Why is the coolest bow gone? Boss, give me a 30-pound one!"
Xiao Zheng, who specifically requested to change into professional equipment, walked out of the locker room with a roar. He was gearing up and was obviously very excited for his first time here.
A typical rookie doesn't know the heights of the world.
Su Chengyi glanced at him, threw the bow in his hand, and raised his chin.
"Give."
"Okay, okay!"
Xiao Zheng, who had a tramp haircut, immediately walked to the archery area cheerfully and rolled up his sleeves in an elegant manner, revealing his biceps that he had developed after months of hard work in the gym.
"Master, please don't underestimate me. If I hadn't bought the studio's annual gym membership for free and practiced extra in the gym every day, I really wouldn't have been able to light up those two hundred boxes of fireworks. Hey, if I hadn't been bragging to you...ah yo ! ”
Before he could finish his words, he was severely punished by the sudden rebound of the bowstring, and he couldn't lift his arm for a long time.
"Are you honest?"
Su Chengyi said "ha" and immediately turned to Chen Jinzhi and said:
"Did you see it? From the standing posture to the bow raising movements, everything is a standard negative teaching material."
"Yeah."
Chen Jinzhi held her bow and laughed so hard.
Xiao Zheng asked him for help with a grimace.
"Master, stop gloating, look at why I can't move my arm, it's very sore!"
Su Chengyi walked over with his hands in his hands and squeezed his shoulders, and he let out a cry like a slaughtering pig.
"Ahhhhhh!!!"
The empty archery hall echoed with this rather bloody and terrifying sound. The passers-by who had just reached the door and wanted to come in and take a look all looked embarrassed and turned around to leave.
After a lot of struggling, Xiao Zheng's arm was finally able to move again, but he waved his hand to indicate that he didn't want to play anymore. He brought a fruit plate in and sat next to him, eating melon seeds and watching the show.
"Iris, I want to apologize to you. It's true that I thought archery was too simple and signed up first without consulting you in advance.
You must not feel any psychological pressure. Forget it if you don't practice well, it doesn't matter. Anyway, the focus of this Idol Games must be on idols rather than sports. Don’t pay too much attention to sportsmanship.
Don’t hurt your arm like me. There are a lot of activities planned in the next few days. Let me take a look at three advertisements and four interviews.”
"Don't make any noise."
Su Chengyi put his fingers on the bowstring and plucked it threateningly, making a "buzzing" sound.
"I'm sorry, please spare my life, my lord!"
Out of physical instinct, Xiao Zheng shivered and raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.
But it turned out that the chatterbox couldn't help but talk nonsense even when death was imminent. While surrendering, he couldn't help but continue:
"But I'm serious, don't try too hard, Iris."
After receiving his concern, Chen Jinzhi poked his head out from behind Su Chengyi and smiled softly.
"Okay Brother Zheng, I will pay attention."
"Actually, it's good to miss the target. In the minds of fans, you have always been too perfect. Showing off your cowardice and acting cute just right will have a better effect."
Xiao Zheng continued to give advice and talk based on his experience in the entertainment industry.
"You know, not being able to shoot is not a black mark at all, but it can become a fun joke.
I’ve thought of the hot search topics for you, they’re called #there are things in the world that Chen Jinzhi can’t do#, #陈金之狠target#, #Iris’s arrow didn’t miss the target but hit my heart#”
Xiao Zheng just opened his mouth to talk like this, and Su Chengyi was amazed. He could never think of these topics that had a strong marketing flavor in his life.
"Besides, to be fair, if you look like this, you will be forgiven for anything you do."
Xiao Zheng shook his head and sighed, popped a piece of dragon fruit into his mouth, and said vaguely:
"Really, Master? You know this best."
Su Chengyi narrowed his left eye slightly, drew the bow string, and aimed at the bull's eye.
"Yes, there are great scholars who have argued for her."
Although Xiao Zheng Chadong said a lot of comforting words, and Chen Jinzhi responded one by one with a smile, when she stood in front of the target, everyone present realized her seriousness.
“While things like stance vary from person to person, generally speaking, it’s beneficial to have your feet positioned shoulder-width apart or slightly wider.”
Su Chengyi gently patted Chen Jinzhi's thigh and motioned her to adjust her stance.
"Okay."
Chen Jinzhi followed his corrective movements, trying to adjust and maintain a fixed angle of the body and the center line of the body.
"Stop, this is pretty standard now."
Su Chengyi nodded in affirmation.
As expected, Chen Jinzhi learns anything very quickly, and his understanding is really innate.
Although there is also the possibility that the stupid bird will catch up with the tortoise and the hare first, but that is based on the premise that smart people are not diligent.
The most terrifying thing is that smart people also stand at the pinnacle of diligence, and they are truly invincible at the same level.
"The next step is to raise the bow. There are a few points you should pay special attention to."
Su Chengyi raised the bow and arrow with one hand and began to demonstrate.
“The correct position of the bow arm and the rotation of the arm, the correct positioning and fixation of the bow arm and shoulder, the correct position of the center of the body and the support line when raising the bow, and the correct establishment of the correct relationship between the string arm and the bow arm. The balance of power.”
He actually doesn't pay much attention to these things when he shoots arrows on weekdays. He mainly focuses on doing whatever he wants.
But because he is teaching now, he needs to adopt the attitude of a regular coach, so he also tries to make the movements pleasing to the eye, simple and clear.
Student Chen Jinzhi was very serious in class, frowning slightly and saying "hmm" from time to time.
When it was her turn to practice, she would ask questions in a timely manner if she had any confusing questions, without hiding them or being embarrassed to ask them.
Su Chengyi helped adjust the angle of her bow while silently sighing in her heart:
In fact, through archery teaching, it can be inferred that Chen Jinzhi's attitude when learning other things has not changed for so long. When Su Chengyi taught her to study at the beginning, she learned quickly and dared to raise her confusion without feeling ashamed.
Miss Chu's studies are also very good, but she often has moments of being cute and fooling around. Chen Jinzhi is different. She has the attitude of breaking the casserole and getting to the bottom of it.
From this point of view, she has always been a very strong and resilient girl, which is why she can struggle to get out of her life, which can be called a swamp.
If it were Su Chengyi's stubborn and awkward character, he might have grown crooked long ago and might have become an anti-social and dark personality.
After he started teaching, Su Chengyi realized that there were so many things to pay attention to in archery. After studying a series of things from standing posture to the shape of the fingers of the archer, several hours had passed, and Chen Jinzhi had not officially shot yet. Pass an arrow.
At first, Xiao Zheng would happily eat melons and watch the show, but later he had pulled a yoga mat next to him and fell asleep. Now his mouth was dry from sleep, so he went out and brought in a few bottles of soda and energy drinks.
"Master, I see you are training Olympic champions? Or world championship gold medalists?"
Xiao Zheng unscrewed the bottle cap and took a big sip himself, and couldn't help but said sarcastically:
"I just saw the team next door who came later than us, shooting arrows all over the room. Now they all packed up and left happily."
"Is there an arrow on the target?"
Su Chengyi snorted coldly and didn't care.
"Now you can try to draw the bow, move slowly, just like practicing your stance, and find the most comfortable rhythm for you.
Don't shrug your shoulders and don't shift your center of gravity. Keep your original body position in a straight line. ”
Although his attitude was strict, his tone was still gentle. After all, the person he was teaching was his girlfriend.
If it were to teach Xiao Zheng, then he might have to change his face.
When necessary, bows and arrows can also be used as melee weapons - the elf prince Legolas knows this very well.
Chen Jinzhi nodded gently, followed his guidance, and slowly drew the bow string.
18 pounds is still a bit heavy for her, but fortunately, she trained with the special forces on the set some time ago and practiced a lot of martial arts moves with the martial arts teacher. She held up metal props and swung them around every day, which was considered a kind of exercise. .
In addition, Su Chengyi's guidance was very professional and scientific, so she was able to draw the bow and arrow smoothly.
In a perfect standard posture.
"Okay, very good."
Su Chengyi held his breath and was very satisfied with his teaching results.
"Get ready, count down, three, two, one, let go."
As soon as he finished speaking, the arrow in Chen Jinzhi's hand came out from the string.
The two of them have a good tacit understanding and follow their words.
The arrow from the string was shot out with a "swish" sound, full of momentum and posture.
Xiao Zheng, who had been looking weird and eccentric just now, was also aroused and said "Oh" excitedly.
The three sets of eyes followed closely, staring at the arrow target opposite, looking forward to the final outcome.
Su Chengyi's psychological expectations for this arrow were not high. After all, it was the first time for a beginner to shoot an arrow. It was already rare to shoot it successfully.
Unexpectedly, Chen Jinzhi was indeed a martial arts prodigy with extraordinary skills. This arrow, which was used as a teaching level, actually hit the seventh ring steadily.
Su Chengyi looked at the arrow tail that was still vibrating slightly, and recalled that when he first learned archery, he seemed to have hit the seventh ring.
It's just that I'm too young, so I'm pulling a children's bow and arrow, so it's a bit less difficult.
"Wow!!! Awesome!!!"
Xiao Zheng jumped up from his chair and clapped vigorously.
Chen Jinzhi breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in thanks.
But Su Chengyi could clearly feel that this result did not satisfy her. Her requirements for herself had become so strict that they were no longer human.
"In that case, let's practice a little more today."
Su Chengyi took out another arrow and handed it to her hand.
Xiao Zheng on the other side almost fell to the ground after hearing this.
"No, young master, you are not satisfied even though I have seven rings? Are you really training Olympic champions?"
"I am not satisfied with myself."
Chen Jinzhi smiled slightly and took the arrow handed by Su Chengyi.
"The difficulty of the competition is roughly the same as this. I want to practice more in the next few days and try to get a ranking."
"You two are really a perfect match."
Xiao Zheng sighed, picked up a bottle of soda and handed it to her.
"It's really you two, Mr. and Mrs. Juan Wang. Come on, I'll go back to the studio to contact you in a while. I can push off as much work as possible tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so as to free up time for you to practice archery."
"That would be great."
Chen Jinzhi frowned and took the water from him.
Su Chengyi stretched his waist and turned the arrow in his hand.
In fact, he felt that with Chen Jinzhi's talent, it was not impossible to win such an informal game by making up for two days.
"Then I'll go back and make arrangements first. You two can practice slowly. Call me later and I'll call a car to pick you up."
Xiao Zheng lowered his head and looked at the professional equipment on his body. The more he looked at it, the more he disliked it. The rent was still quite high.
"Let's go!"
He kicked and vented his dissatisfaction and left through the side door.
After Chen Jinzhi drank the water, he immediately stood in front of the target again, with no intention of relaxing for a while.
"Thank you for practicing with me, Teacher Su."
She turned slightly, her eyes gentle.
"You're welcome."
Su Chengyi shook his head and tightened the cap of the soda water bottle.
If she keeps working hard like this, she will still be able to defeat several gangsters and her opponents.
Su Chengyi was thinking about where to start teaching next, when the cell phone he had placed next to the fruit plate suddenly buzzed.
"Wait a moment, I'll take a call."
Su Chengyi waved his hand at Chen Jinzhi, who quickly nodded in response and began to try to pull the bow and string by himself, not idle.
Su Chengyi walked to the rest area and unlocked the phone screen.
The caller ID is "Unknown" and it's still a secondary card.
The phone number of the secondary card is his private number, and generally only close friends know it.
Su Chengyi frowned slightly, pressed answer, and put the receiver to his ear.
There was a strange male voice on the other side of the phone, with a slight accent and a joking tone.
"Hello, Mr. Su."
For some reason, Su Chengyi's heart skipped a beat, and every nerve in his body became tense.
