In the studio of Central TV Department 5's live broadcast program team, the country's most professional sports live broadcast program team was busy.
Unlike the Da Chuan Sports Channel, where Liang Facai could still visit from time to time, Central TV's live broadcast program team was not a place anyone could enter.
The person in charge of the program team was giving out instructions at a very fast pace. The person who was originally arranged to be in charge of the live broadcast was not him, but another newcomer.
But it was precisely because of the heaven-defying ratings of the Da Chuan Sports Channel that the internal department of Central TV Department 5's attention to this live broadcast, which was originally arranged through connections, was raised to a whole new level.
When Central TV first received the task from their superiors, they were extremely reluctant. In order to broadcast the Amateur Darts League, they even had to give up the live broadcast rights of the WRC World Rally, which they had already purchased.
Although this was Central TV, they still had to care about the ratings and reputation. This was the political achievement of the leaders of the television station.
Perhaps the evening news the day before yesterday had reported Chen Guang's high-profile interview without any deletions. This was the result of the internal discussion of the leaders of Central TV Department 5.
The impact of creating a high-profile and arrogant athlete might not be good, but what if what he said was true?
Then he was not arrogant, but honest!
This was a man-made hot topic. It was popularity, and it was also viewership ratings.
Although darts wasn't highly regarded in China, before Ding Junhui appeared, no one paid attention to snooker, right?
If Chen Guang was really as good as he said, or if he was as strong as the domestic darts industry had always recognized, then why couldn't they promote him to be the king of darts?
Extraordinary people did extraordinary things. Since ancient times, how many of the extraordinary people with extraordinary talents had kept a low profile?
When Cao Cao was in dire straits, he was able to say words like "only the emperor and the ear" that looked down on the heroes of the world. Since Chen Guang had repeatedly proven his strength in the preliminaries, of course he could be even more arrogant.
The person in charge of the live broadcast keenly caught Chen Guang raising his hand to the sky, and immediately shouted, "Camera 7! Zoom in! Zoom in from below, and do a close up of 3: 7! Let's add to Chen Guang's reputation! "
The person in charge gave a series of instructions, and the audience in front of their televisions saw this scene. The camera started about one or two meters in front of Chen Guang, and began to pan up at a 45-degree angle. They saw Chen Guang standing in the center of the resplendent competition hall, and his image grew larger and larger. He pointed his right hand to the sky, and the lights in the stadium behind him were dazzling. His entire body seemed to be covered in a halo.
"What's going on? Little Guang seems to have suddenly become more handsome? "Feng Rong didn't understand darts at all, and could only comment on Chen Guang's current appearance.
Chen Guoli took a bite of melon seeds. "That's for sure. Think about who his father is. How could he not be handsome?"
Even Chen Guang himself did not know that such a simple act of posturing had been meticulously arranged by the Central TV Department 5's person-in-charge to elevate his image to a whole new height.
Xin Qin, who was holding her cell phone and filming the live broadcast from afar, looked at the string of exclamation marks and all sorts of mushy flattery in the bullet screen. She could barely roll her eyes.
But no matter how disgusting Xin Qin was, no one could deny that from this moment onwards, with Central TV Department 5's coverage covering the entire country, he was no longer an internet celebrity who only existed on Weibo. Instead, he appeared in front of the eyes of the entire country with a domineering attitude.
After he left the stage, Chen Guang took a sip of his saliva and suddenly felt elated. Posturing in a live broadcast clearly had a mysterious bonus. Just like that, he had gained a few hundred more faith points!
Unfortunately, this kind of thing could not be repeated. There was a limit to posturing, and he couldn't stop. Otherwise, he would be treated as a joke.
Popolica spat. "He's really embarrassing us professional darts players. Didn't he just score 50 points? Isn't that very common? What are these Chinese people cheering for? Which one of us can't do that? "
Wilkins coughed lightly. "Popolica, you're too hot-tempered. This is his home ground. What's so strange about that?"
The Spaniard, Walkin, gently stroked his carefully trimmed beard. "This is their own competition. Let's just treat it as a crappy play. The referees of the world championship won't let him tarnish the competition like that."
"This is called a mirage-like carnival in the desert," Wilkins commented.
Popolica grinned. "Well said, Mr. Wilkins. As expected of someone from Shakespeare's country. In this desert of darts, they're using cheating methods and even computer special effects to create a fake genius. Do the Chinese really want to prove themselves in this world championship? "
Walkin's face darkened. "Then we have to be careful. Maybe they're trying to do something big while they're the host."
Wilkins's expression didn't change. "I will communicate with the World Darts Alliance in advance. We can't give them any chance to cheat."
Truth be told, they had all seen Chen Guang's competition videos, but they didn't believe it from the bottom of their hearts. This was China, a barren land for darts. It wasn't impossible for a world-class genius to appear here.
But the scenes in the videos were too ridiculous.
This was a competition, not Hollywood!
However, 15 minutes later, these international friends who were giving pointers were all speechless with their mouths agape.
This was simply unimaginable!
That's right, Chen Guang did what he said. Once again, he cleared the stage with nine darts!
Moreover, he didn't even stand in front of the line of darts. Instead, he stood seven or eight meters away and threw them casually!
Are you messing with us?
In the first round, Chen Guang crushed all his opponents without any suspense and advanced to the second round.
Before he left the stage, he grinned at the stunned international friends from afar and raised his eyebrows to provoke them.
Look at all of you with your mouths agape. Young lads, are you frogs in a well?
The Central TV Director was even more cunning than Chen Guang. He was able to capture the stunned looks of these world-class professional players and did a close-up on the television.
Those who didn't know much about darts might not have understood. Just like Feng Rong said, "Why are you letting the foreigners in? Continue filming my son."
But the darts enthusiasts who were watching the competition on their computers or in Chen Guang's live broadcast room were in an uproar.
"These snobbish foreigners are scared to death!"
Mr. Jin, who was watching TV in Wujing, laughed and slapped the table. He said to Xiaofang and the other girls at the front desk, "Did you see that guy with his mouth agape? His name is Popolica. That's him. A few years ago, I wanted to invite him to our club for an event. In fact, it was just to help us promote our club. Guess what he said. I gave him 20,000 dollars for free, but he said he couldn't be bothered to waste his precious training time! He can even run 5,000 dollars happily in the United States. Isn't that just looking down on others? Now he's dumbfounded and pissing his pants, right? "
Xiaofang reminded him, "Boss, Mr. Chen is the best. Why are you so happy?"
Mr. Jin said proudly, "Because Mr. Chen is our lifetime member!"
An hour later, it was the second round of the competition. Chen Guang passed with nine darts again!
Wilkins and the others could not sit still anymore.
"Ridiculous! That's impossible! "
"This is shameful cheating!"
"I'm going to complain to the World Escort Association! China should be disqualified from hosting this year's world championship! If this person uses the same equipment in the world championship, we have no chance of winning at all! "
"They're going crazy thinking about winning the championship!"
This group of people was making a ruckus. Just like Chen Xiaoxin, who had seen this scene for the first time, they were unwilling to believe it even though they had seen it with their own eyes. It was just too bizarre.
Wilkins stood up. "I have to talk to the people from the Huaxia Escort Association. In order to defend this elegant gentleman's sport, I have to expose this farce!"
"Let's go together!" The others stood up one after another.
Regardless of what these people thought, the fight for the first, second, and third place continued in full swing on the other side.
There was still no suspense. Chen Guang did as he said and passed with nine darts again.
"Congratulations to Chen Guang for winning the Huaxia Amateur Darts Championship!" As the commentator shouted excitedly on the television, Chen Guang stood on the podium with two other people. The vice presidents of the Huaxia Escort Association, accompanied by the hostesses, stood in front of the podium with medals and flowers.
"Let us pass!" Wilkins waved his arms angrily.
"Mr. Wilkins, I don't understand what you're trying to do." Old Zhao, the most senior member of the Huaxia Escort Association, was sweating profusely as he stood in front of this group of tall and strong foreigners.
"Your shameful behavior has damaged the fairness and justice of the darts sport! You're turning our profession into a farce! I demand that you stop this competition immediately and revoke that actor's championship! "Wilkins roared as he pointed at Chen Guang, who was on the podium not far away.
"Xiao Hu, what did he say?" Old Zhao couldn't understand what Wilkins was yelling about, so he asked the interpreter beside him.
The interpreter, Xiao Hu, was rather embarrassed. Old Zhao was also a hot-tempered person. If he were to translate Wilkins' words, the old man would probably jump up and start a fight with him.
"Old Zhao, he's questioning the fairness of this competition and wants to revoke Chen Guang's championship," Xiao Hu said after some deliberation, ignoring the most unpleasant part of Wilkins' words.
Even so, Old Zhao was still angry. "Isn't this nonsense? This is our own competition. There's absolutely nothing wrong with Chen Guang's equipment. We've checked it at least three times! Besides, didn't he use other people's darts to prove himself in the five capitals? "
Xiao Hu said helplessly, "They didn't see it with their own eyes …"
"I understand that word. This black guy is talking about Hollywood, right? They're saying that we're actors, right? "Old Zhao waved his hand." Stop these people! At least before the live broadcast ends, don't let them disrupt the venue! This is China! This is our own competition! How can we tolerate these foreign devils telling us what to do? If you have any objections, then fight us fair and square in the world championship! Now that we're treating you as guests, don't stay here and make trouble for us! Xiao Hu, translate what I said word for word! "
"Old Zhao is right. This is China! Whether I cheated or not, you'll have to wait until the world championship's referees know how to judge. But for now, shut up! "
Unknowingly, Chen Guang had already walked over and spoke in fluent English.
