Chapter 492 The Immortal Sword Launching Ceremony and Ma Dongmei's New Australian Open Record

After recording "Life in Bloom", Zhang Jin, Xia Luo and Ma Dongmei parted ways.

Xia Luo was busy transitioning to record the program and other songs of the new album. He was also invited to appear on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala in [-] and sang the songs "Dongfeng Blows" and "Mudanjiang". This is the fourth time since his debut On the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.

As a popular singer in the Chinese pop music circle, this kind of treatment is unprecedented, and it is estimated that there will be few others in the future.

Ma Dongmei will fly back to Xihong City first, bring all the luggage that needs to be prepared, and then transfer to Hong Kong Island to fly to Melbourne. It is expected to arrive on January [-], and after a week of adaptive training and adjustments, it will be held in late January Australian Open match.

Zhang Jin originally planned to fly back to Xihong City with Ma Dongmei, but the night before his departure, he received a call from the production team of Xianjian. Director Li Guoli said that the production team was about to start up, and asked him if he was interested in attending the opening ceremony.

Zhang Jin agreed without even thinking about it. How could he be absent at such a commemorative and important moment!

So, he changed the plane that night, flew directly to Yiwu the next day, and then transferred to Hengdian.

Because that day was not the day of the opening ceremony, and there were still two days before the auspicious day, so Zhang Jin learned about the preparations of the crew under the introduction of Li Guoli, and also met a group of leading actors.

Since the protagonists of Xianjian are originally a group of teenagers, the three protagonists and a group of supporting actors are not very old, and the average is about twenty.

Young actors gather to chat, laugh and chat, while middle-aged and elderly people do their own things, such as reading, writing, and drinking tea.

The crew accepted Zhang Jin's proposal in terms of casting, and the main roles are the same as in reality, while some supporting roles such as Liu Jinyuan, Queen Wu, and Caiyi are different.

This is the first time for Zhang Jin to see Liu Tianxian, who is [-] or [-] years old, who is tender and tender. Of course, she has just finished filming Tianlong Babu, and the post-production and broadcasting have not yet been completed. Immortal Sword has just joined the group. There is no shadow yet, and this title has not appeared yet.

Zhang Jin is also a young man, not much older than these actors, so he easily mixed with the protagonist group.

There are five young people in the protagonist group, two men and three women, An Yixuan who plays Lin Yueru and Liu Pinyan who plays Anu. Apart from the roles in this play, Zhang Jin has no special feelings for them.

On the contrary, he has a good impression of Peng Yuyan, who plays Tang Yu. It's not that the other party's acting skills are good, but the main reason is that the other party's appearance and figure are manly and masculine, not comparable to those coquettish sissy idols.

After getting acquainted with the actors of the protagonist troupe, Zhang Jin took the opportunity to take photos with them, and even let them change into their respective costumes, and took many photos as souvenirs.

During the communication during this period, he also asked Hu Ge and Liu Yifei if they were interested in signing a contract with his own entertainment and culture company, and he promised to support them in the future.

At this time, Hu Ge had already signed a contract with Tangren Film and Television, and Liu Yifei's agent was her mother.

It's just that both of them politely declined his temptation.

But Zhang Jin was not disappointed, saying that as long as the two are willing, they can come to him to sign a contract at any time, no matter when they come, the promise to praise them will always be valid.

The reason why he did this was that he was interested in the development potential of the two of them. The most important thing was to pave the way for the smooth development of Xianjian IP in the future, and to make up for the regrets in reality by the way.

Zhang Jin, as a fan who fell in love with the roles played by these two people from the TV series Xianjian, and then fell in love with the actors, and is also a staunch fan of pigeons, his biggest regret is that the two have not appeared on the same screen since Xianjian. There is no film and television work for a single collaboration, which makes many Feige parties look forward to it every year and return disappointed every year.

Two days later, the opening ceremony.

In the Chinese film and television industry, whenever a new film starts shooting, it will definitely choose a good day and auspicious day, and hold a ceremony of offering incense and worshiping gods.

Generally speaking, the table used for worship at the opening ceremony is covered with a red velvet cloth, and Guan Erge is enshrined on the table, with incense burners, roast suckling pig and fresh fruits on both sides.

The camera opportunity was covered by the red cloth, and then waited for the main creators of the crew to worship God one by one. After worshiping the gods, they lifted the red cloth on the machine together to announce the start of the machine!
The origin of the earliest opening ceremony cannot be traced, and there are various reasons, but all in all, it is to pray for the smooth shooting.

There may have been some feudal superstition in the past, but now it is more like a crew mobilization meeting, just like the company's new year team building, a way to bring everyone together.

The opening ceremony created a sense of ritual in everyone's heart, showing that I am serious about doing this!

Zhang Jin followed the process. It was his first time to participate in the opening ceremony. Although the process was not as special as imagined, it still felt quite fresh and interesting.

More importantly, after discussing with Li Guoli, he spent a lot of money to seal a big red envelope for all the crew members who participated in the opening ceremony. Everyone got the same amount, no more, no less, [-]. Hint all the way!

The crew members who got the big red envelopes were all smiling and full of energy, and they all expressed that they would work hard to complete the filming!

After the opening ceremony, the production team of Xianjian officially started filming. In order to rush the filming progress, the crew divided into three groups to shoot, and the protagonist, supporting roles and fight scenes were all filmed separately.

The crew officially started work, and Li Guoli and other directors and actors were all too busy, so naturally no one chatted with Zhang Jin.

Zhang Jin withdrew after watching the crew for a few days, and before leaving, he also asked Director Li to make high-quality and high-standard films.

If the quality in reality can make him famous, he needs higher-quality drama version content to lay a higher and larger market and fan base for this IP adaptation.

After leaving the Xianjian crew in Hengdian, Zhang Jin returned to Xihong City.

At this time, Ma Dongmei had already started the first round of the Australian Open Grand Slam in Melbourne.

The composition of the Grand Slam draw is composed of 104 players, 16 qualifying players, and 8 wild card players. There are a total of 128 picks. The number of wild cards and qualifying players can be slightly adjusted.

The main draft players are those who enter the big list based on the WTA ranking system, and the qualifying players need to participate in the qualifying rounds, and only need to win three rounds.Wild card players are at the discretion of the organizing committee, usually for promising young players, former tournament champions, and other players who are capable but not ranked enough.

In the past, Ma Dongmei entered the main game through the qualifying rounds, and even at the beginning, he needed a wild card invitation to participate in the qualifying rounds.

However, due to her performance in various WTA events in the world in the past two years is not too bad, the world ranking has been hovering between [-] and [-], and as the top-ranked women's singles player in Asia, she won the Organizing Committee One of the eight wild card players granted, was allowed to directly enter the Australian Open.

At the end of January, Zhang Jin met Ma Dongmei, who came back from Melbourne to Xihong City. Although he had already heard about the other party's achievements on TV and online news, the feeling he heard from the other party was still different.

I don't know if it has something to do with Charlotte's contact, but Ma Dongmei's extraordinary performance in the Australian Open this time.

Ma Dongmei, who is located in the second half of the division, faced the top [-] opponents in the world in the third round after winning wild cards and qualifying players in the first and second rounds. Let two chase three.

在前两盘都是6-3的局面下，后三盘分别以7-6（9-7）、7-6（7-5）和9-7逆风翻盘！成功闯入16强，创造了她在大满贯赛事中最佳成绩！
However, the miracle is not over yet.

In the quarter-finals three days later, Ma Dongmei once again showed her tenacity and tenacity in the face of the WTA world No. Delicate skills and style of play that have never appeared before.

The reason why Amelie is called a "manly woman" is not only because of her looks, but also because she has a one-handed backhand that is rare among female players, and a powerful forehand topspin, which makes her a sturdy player!

But in this game, Amelie, who has a strong playing style, encountered an extremely difficult opponent. The playing style of this female player from Asia and China was like a swamp, making her attack seem to be stuck in the mud. Among them, the strength can't completely penetrate the opponent's defense at all, and occasionally succeeds, it doesn't help the overall situation too much.

Although Amelie has been suppressing the opponent on the scene, almost every return ball of the opponent makes her unable to use her strength advantage comfortably, which makes her feel very awkward.

There is no doubt about Amelie's level, but she has a big shortcoming, that is, her psychological quality is unstable. If she has not made any progress in the long-term fight with her opponent, she is prone to frizz, irritability, and distraction. question.

Ma Dongmei's coaching staff has analysts who specialize in collecting information on opponents. The battle plan formulated by the coaching staff for the game is just one word - procrastinate!

Stabilize the situation, even if you don't score, it doesn't matter, the longer the delay, the better for her.Only when her opponent falls into a psychological problem in the game, can she have a chance of winning the game!

Ma Dongmei naturally obeyed the coaching staff's tactics, and tried her best to accomplish the tactical goals, so there was this game that was most likely to make the audience sleepy in history.

With four points in one game, the two sides can play for nearly half an hour.

Such a slow game, not to mention Amelie, even the audience and referees couldn't help it.

Sure enough, after taking a long time to win the first set, Amelie's game psychology changed, and there were varying degrees of frizzy mistakes in the selection of offensive balls and defensive handling.

Despite the disparity in strength, in order to cope with the opponent's attack, Ma Dongmei's physical energy consumption was greater. In the second set, the opponent once won the game point, but every time the opponent made a mistake on his own, he ruined the great chance of winning and scoring!

One time, two times, three times...the continuous accumulation became the last straw that broke the camel's camel's back!
After Amelie won the second set with difficulty, her game mentality finally collapsed!
In the next three games, it is not so much that Ma Dongmei played well, but rather that the opponent sent well!
But even if the opponent made a crazy mistake to send points, Ma Dongmei won staggeringly, and was almost killed by the impatient Amelie several times!

But in the end, Ma Dongmei gritted her teeth and persisted, won the last set and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals!
After three days, the best score in history was created again!
However, the luck ends here.

In the quarter-finals, Ma Dongmei unfortunately met the younger sister of the Williams sisters and was sent away by the opponent 6-0 in three sets.

In the Australian Open final in [-], the Williams sisters fell in love and killed each other. In the end, the stronger sister won the championship!
Serena is so strong that she won the other three Grand Slam titles except the Australian Open last year, and is the number one female tennis player in the WTA world.

After losing to the opponent, Ma Dongmei was also convinced.

The Australian Open stopped at the quarter-finals, which not only refreshed her personal Grand Slam best event, but also brought her 360 WTA points in the new year, almost half of last year's points.

This good start to the new year has given Ma Dongmei great confidence and expectations for this year's competition results!

Banshan manor, villa.

On this day, Dongmei's mother went back to the old house to play cards and chat with the old neighbors, so Ma Dongmei invited Zhang Jin to have lunch at home.

This lunch is very simple, it is fennel stewed noodles cooked by herself.

"Dongmei, I didn't expect you to be able to cook."

"I can't cook properly, but I can still cook noodles. When I was in school, my mother was often away at noon, so I learned her way to cook noodles by myself. At the beginning, the noodles were often overcooked. They formed into lumps. Later, I slowly learned to watch the heat, when to go down, when to turn off the fire, and when to serve side dishes and seasonings.”

Ma Dongmei said with a smile, "I went abroad for training later, and I was not used to eating foreign food. I often cook for myself, and I dare not eat anything else. I am afraid that it will affect the body and destroy the nutritional balance, so I can only cook noodles occasionally. Anyway, pasta is basically carbohydrates. , It can be consumed with more training, and it doesn't bother you at all. Now this skill is all honed after going abroad, so you have a taste."

Zhang Jin took a few sips with the chopsticks and tasted it carefully. To be honest, it was just ordinary home-cooked noodles, nothing special.

"How?" Ma Dongmei looked expectantly.

Zhang Jin smiled and changed the subject: "Has Charlotte ever eaten your cooked noodles?"

"Him? I haven't eaten it, he always hates it!" Ma Dongmei picked up the chopsticks and fiddled with the noodles in the bowl while recalling, "Remember when I was in school, my mother and his mother worked in the same factory, and they often worked overtime at noon. Come and cook for the two of us. I cooked noodles and asked him to come and eat with him, but he didn’t want to, with a long face, all kinds of disgust, and would rather eat ten boiled eggs for lunch.”

Having said that, Ma Dongmei couldn't help but slapped the table and laughed.

"Later, guess what, when his mother came back from get off work at night, she brought him ten more boiled eggs, saying that they were left over from the factory at noon, and brought them back to give him strength! That night, he secretly boiled the remaining five eggs. The egg was stuffed into me and let me help destroy it, he really couldn’t eat it anymore. Looking back now, I still think it’s too funny, hahaha!”

Zhang Jin looked at Ma Dongmei, who was smiling happily because he was recalling the little things we got along with in the past, and suddenly said: "Why don't you find a chance to cook a bowl of fennel noodles for Charlotte, I heard that he is fine now This mouth."

"Impossible, he is a big star, he can't eat delicacies from mountains and seas, what's so delicious about braised noodles with fennel, besides, my cooking is not delicious!" Ma Dongmei waved his hand.

"How do you know if he likes it or not if you don't do it? Well, let me take care of it, and I'll arrange it for you."

As Zhang Jin said, he already had a rough plan in mind.
