Chapter 61 Why did you come to the audition?
Chapter 61 Why did you come to the audition?
"Ah... I hope Xiao Zhaomiao won't cry after he finishes playing!"
After the competition officially started, all irrelevant people were asked to leave the classroom, and Ai Jianan was no exception.
Sitting outside the venue, she couldn't help but worry about the situation inside.
In her opinion, judging from the way Gang Ruizhao played chess, he must have played chess before, otherwise he wouldn't be so skilled and good-looking...
Mm, very beautiful~
Oh no, no, no! Calm down, calm down! Think about the important things first!
Ai Jianan shook his head several times and continued to think.
Despite this, Rui Zhao wanted to get rid of Zhao Nantian, but he was just thinking too much.
Although Zhao Nantian spoke in an extremely arrogant manner, what was even more frustrating was that what he said was actually true.
With the level of Qiangye 5, it is indeed not easy for even a professional 2nd dan to win among women, let alone Rui Zhao, a girl who is not even an amateur nd dan.
...But this is fine.
It just so happens that he was eliminated in the first round of the audition, which might have dealt a heavy blow to Rui Zhao. He took advantage of the opportunity and showed all kinds of concern and tenderness, so there was no need to worry about not being able to bring little Zhao home!
Just as she was thinking about her next plan, she saw a pair of cameramen and reporters coming up from downstairs, talking as they walked. Judging from the content of their conversation, they seemed to be reporters from the Sports Channel of Dongjiang TV Station who came to collect materials for the report.
Ah...indeed.
Dongjiang TV will give a brief report on this competition.
Ai Jianan immediately recalled that she had seen related reports on the Dongjiang Sports Channel's news broadcast before, and most of them were reports on the auditions and the final competitions.
This is mainly because the auditions and the main competitions correspond to the beginning and end of the event and are more reportable.
In addition, the auditions can mainly show the spirit of the people in actively participating in sports activities, while the main competitions can report the final results and speeches of relevant leaders. At the same time, we wish the contestants who qualify from the Dongjiang competition area good results in the national finals, so this arrangement is very reasonable.
Oh, in that case...
Then I'll prepare a gift for Xiao Zhao Miao!
Ai Jianan suddenly had an idea and immediately stood up and started chatting with the pair of photographers.
After confirming that the other party was indeed a reporter and cameraman from the sports channel of Dongjiang TV Station, Ai Jianan introduced himself and gave the other party some advice...
"You mean... there's a very beautiful girl coming to the audition?"
After listening to Ai Jianan's introduction, the reporter immediately became interested.
"Yes! She is still a student at Dongjiang Middle School."
Ai Jianan deliberately omitted the words "International Department" - anyway, it was not wrong to say that Rui Zhao was a student of Dongjiang Middle School.
"I think if you can use her as the starting point for your report, it will definitely become a hot topic, and your report will also receive greater attention from the station. It's a good opportunity. What do you think?"
Being able to become a reporter for a big station like Dongjiang TV, even if he is only reporting on a fringe sport like Go, his level must be good.
After listening to Ai Jianan's advice, the female reporter immediately grasped the key point.
Women are undoubtedly a minority in the game of Go, but they are special and also come with the buff of equal rights.
Dongjiang Middle School is the city's top school, known for producing top students and bringing in traffic. Although it has made some achievements in culture and sports, it seems that no one has heard of any programs like Go.
As for young, pretty girls...
It will definitely attract attention wherever it goes!
If this is true, it will definitely be a success!
The female reporter made a judgment immediately.
"Where is she?"
"It's in the second competition room, platform 5. You can go and have a look."
"go!"
Without saying a word, the female reporter rushed into the second competition room with her camera - as reporters, they naturally had the freedom to enter the stadium and take pictures during the game.
Ten minutes later, the reporter and the cameraman finally came out. As soon as the female reporter came out, she hurriedly ran towards Ai Jianan. "Ms. Ai! Excuse me, who are you to that girl?
"After the game, please let that kid accept our exclusive interview! I, I am personally willing to pay a certain amount of interview fees!"
For marginal tasks such as reporting on amateur Go competitions, the station naturally would not provide any interview fees.
But for a young reporter who mainly does marginal tasks, any time she turns a small task into a hit is an excellent opportunity to gain the attention of her leaders and climb up the career ladder, so the female reporter offered to pay the fees out of her own pocket without hesitation and was determined to get first-hand interview content.
Ai Jianan smiled softly: "I'm just her friend, but that child is a simple... oh no, very easy to talk to! I'll try to persuade her later, I don't think there will be any problem."
"Ah! Thank you so much!" The female reporter immediately bowed slightly to express her gratitude.
"...But even though this kid is quite strong, I don't think he can win this game. It's just bad luck. It's a pity."
After agreeing, Ai Jianan took the opportunity to embellish Rui Zhao's strength.
"The uncle she played against was a very powerful amateur 5th dan, who had the ability to challenge the main tournament. He was too lazy to get promoted, so he started from the preliminaries. It can be said that no one participating in the preliminaries wants to meet such an opponent. So... she probably can only stop at this round. It shouldn't affect her, right?"
"It doesn't matter! Amateur competitions are all about participation. It's good to be willing to participate, and it's worth promoting!"
The female reporter answered immediately.
In her opinion, it was a great honor for a girl like this who looked like a star to be willing to play chess for fun.
If she still requires people to win a round, then she would be impolite.
"That's good!" Ai Jianan said, "Also, did you just record a few videos, or did you take photos as well?"
"Uh..." ×2
The female reporter and the male cameraman looked at each other awkwardly, and the male cameraman finally told the truth.
“I took a few photos… I couldn’t help it, the girl was so beautiful when she played chess, who could resist not taking photos!
"But I think we can cooperate on this! If our report becomes popular, maybe some print media or websites will come to us, and this is ready-made material..."
"Yes, that's what I mean."
Ai Jianan arranged it neatly.
"I will ask the girl for her opinion after she comes out. If she agrees, please help me recommend it to the relevant media. If we can achieve cooperation, we can give you a share of the fees directly - this is considered private work, not through the company."
"Ah! That's good, that's good!" The two were delighted to see this and agreed immediately.
Although working at a TV station seems stable and respectable, insiders know that small reporters and cameramen on the margins actually have a pretty hard time.
If this is some extra income that doesn't come from public hands, they will definitely welcome it.
Seeing that both of them agreed, Ai Jianan also smiled: "Okay, then you can go shoot some other materials first, and wait for her later...eh?"
Ai Jianan stopped talking halfway.
Because she saw out of the corner of her eye... Zhao Nantian actually came out of the competition room!
This...is only more than twenty minutes!
It seems that Xiao Zhao Miao lost miserably...
I don’t know if he was crying or not!
Ai Jianan, who was somewhat worried, stepped forward and asked:
"Hey, Uncle Beard, where's my friend? You didn't give her up... Uh, uncle? What's wrong with you?"
Halfway through her words, she suddenly realized that something was wrong with Zhao Nantian.
It seemed that the whole person was in a state of stagnation and confusion.
"...Uncle?"
After Ai Jianan called out again, Zhao Nantian woke up from his dazed state and looked at her with disbelief on his face.
“No, your friend…why did you come to the auditions?
"Shouldn't this level be considered professional long ago?!!!"
